<DIV align=center><STRONG>Good Story on President of County Court Told by
Himself--Delayed by Political Argument</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV align=left> A good story is told by the president of
the county court on himself. He was at Matoaka on Monday and became so
interested in a political argument that he allowed the Norfolk and Western
train to go off and leave him. Casting about for a way to get home he
finally had to take a train to Princeton, from which point he had to ride the
hack to Ingleside. From Ingleside he came to this city on train No. 3
and from here went on home, arriving there a good many hours after he had
expected to arrive. It is really strange what politics will do for some
people. The president of the court on account of a political argument
had to take a roundabout trip of thirty-fire miles to get to Bramwell when a
ten mile railroad trip would have gotten him there if it had not been for some
pow wow. In addition to this he had to make the usual explanations at
home. He says hereafter he will only talk politics at the depot.</DIV>
