J. W.

Cecil has 12 uniforms, 9 white ones for daily wear, two blue uniforms and one dress uniform. The latter uniform he wore while here. He is a tailor's apprentice aboard the ship and so made the jersey of the dress uniform himself.

Yesterday the defendants agreed to confess judgment for $25, but the plaintiffs would not satisfied with less than $75. The plaintiffs claim that the defendants came onto the Sheat land and cut down a big bee tree and secured 100 pounds of honey without legal right, and that in cutting down the bee tree they damaged other trees.
