Deputy Tom Sweezy [Sweeny?] of No. 9 township arrested a white man of Shelby by the name of Flay Robbins one day last week and found in his Chevrolet coupe a quart of liquor and enough under the man’s shirt to make him intoxicated. He was given a hearing before Recorder Mull and drew a suspended sentence Saturday of four months.
Deputy Sweezy was appointed deputy in that township and in the first primary won the nomination for another term over R.B. Fortenbury by a majority of 47.
