The circuit court of this county is in ses-
sion, and Judge Dickinson is diligently en-
gagged in disposing Of the dockets. lie has
a large ehancery docket before him, which
will yet occupy him for several days. The
floor Of the courthouse being good drum
head, the Judge finds some difficulty IN
maintaining the quiet necessary tor the
proper transaction of business, but sue
ceeds very we'll in doing so. The many
friends Of f. ID. Irving, Esq, will regret to
learn that he is detained from court by sick
ness, but we hope that SO worthy gentle
man will soon lie able to attend TO business.
We were glad again to see Mr.. Il. B. Wood
son at the clerks table, position which he
is SO well qualified to fill and the people,
it is hoped, without distinction of race or
color, will promote the public interests by
retaining him as faithful and skilled
officer. Failure to elect him in November
will be public calamity.
We regret to repeat that in some portions
of Cumberland the dry summer will again
shorten the corn crop. Tobacco is coming
