FINED FOR KILLING DEER
Warwick Alderman, of North Fork Anthonys Creek, was before Squire Smith last Thursday and confessed to killing a deer. His portion was $50 and costs, and the word of the judge that he was getting off light. Alderman lives in a deer country, and he killed himself a fine fat venison last January. Game Protectors Park McNeil and Lete Young got next to the violation, worked the case up, and secured such conclusive evidence that when Alderman was arrested in Marlinton last Thursday, he confessed.

Marlinton, W.Va.
Dear Mr. Price;
In your editorials in the Times you have been getting in some pretty good strokes for Prohibition.
Now take a few “whacks” at tobacco. So many there are who do not know that the tobacco habit will bar them out of heaven. Every one knows that it is wrong to use tobacco. And when we go calmly and deliberately and do that which we know to be wrong, we commit the unpardonable sin.
“Keep back they servant also from presumptuous sins, let them not have dominion over me, then shall I be upright and shall be innocent from the great transgression.” Psalm XIX 13…
Kindest regards and best wishes,
Yours,
Joe C. Loury

Very good. Wait until I light my pipe and I will plunge into the middle of the thing.
I think that in saying that everyone knows that it is wrong to use tobacco, that the gentleman has got hold of a wrong word. Speaking generally, as he does, it would be nearer the mark to say that it is unwise to use tobacco, and I have no doubt that, without exception, everyone of the countless millions who use tobacco, if he gives it any thought at all sincerely regrets that he is a victim of the habit, just as a prisoner might regret his fettered condition. A man does not like to be handcuffed but when his is so bound, he is helpless…
