Affidavits from the arresting officer and witness declare that Mr. Blackton, driving a truck, was stopped by officers as he approached a courthouse at which the permits are supplied, and was notified that such a permit was necessary and requested to obtain same.

The officers followed, arrested him as they should have, and brought him back to be fined. To show further that Mr. Blackton knew well in advance what the requirements were...
Dunkards, On the big Adam Blocher farm near Delphi, Ind. met 4,000 Dunkards, or Old Order German Baptist Brethren, in the 195th general meeting since their creedless, non-liturgical church was founded in eastern Pennsylvania in 1742.

Septimus Winner was a plain man who, on the side, wrote blank verse for which he had no talent, worried discreetly over his drunken father. He was also responsible for 200 texts on how to play instruments, 2,000 piano and violin arrangements.
