Three Fine Looking Children Are Looking for a Home.

Three little children, two boys and a girl, are charges of the Jasper circuit court, and an effort is being made to procure good homes for them. They are the children of Algie G. Herndon, a young widower, whose wife died about two years ago. The children have since the death of their mother been living with an aunt at Morrison, Tenn., and the father has continued to live In this county and work on a farm. Owing to the sickness of the children’s aunt, he was asked to come for the children and he arrived here with them Monday afternoon. He was accompanied here by his cousin, Charles Crouch, who was recently honorably discharged from the United States cavalry after three years service at Fort Robinson, Neb. The children were made charges of Judge Hanley and he will try, with the assistance of Charles B. Steward, of the state board of charities, to find'good homeß for them, where they can be legally adopted. The father would prefer if all can be taken in Jasper county. The judge says they are especially fine looking children and he and all the attaches of the court house are interested in securing good homes for them. v The sporting editor of the Democrat did not think much of the term “waist hold” as employed in the Maple wrestling match. Stewart himself used this term and while that may have no common use in wrestling phraseology, It seems about the only thing descriptive of the hold employed by Stewart It certainly was in no respect a half-Nelson hold. It might have been called a bear hold or a squeeze hold and sounded more appropriate to* the recently developed athletic critic at the Democrat office. Stewart’s hold was more a waist hold than anything else, and the announcer at the opera house was informed by Stewart himself that it was a “waist hold” before the spectators were given the information.
