HUMoRs OF OLD TIMEs.-We became AGO uainted
the other day with one of the first settlers of
this county, who in the course of conversation
related the following "reminiscences of Weaver
vile in early days The first election in this
county was held in 1851. At the election one
Mckenzie voted for several negroes whom be
had brought with him from the States. DR..
johnson Price, gentleman six feet four inches
in height, was elected County Judge. At
happy Fourth of July convivialty that same
year, on Sidney Hill, the following toast, by Mr.
7. Anderson brought the crowd to their feet
" The Hon. johnson Price County Judge elect
of Trinity county, may his first fee be female
and when obtained may he place tall price
upon it,
The miners were divided into two parties
known as the " Ditchers" and "Anti- Ditchers,"
the former claiming that they had right TO all
the ground they drained, the latter contending
that claims should consist of certain number
of feet. Both parties got up an election for two
Justices but the " Dtchers" out-witted their
opponents and obtained certificates of election
from headquarters for their candidates, Sewer
and johnson. Judge Johnson was quite char
acter in his way, as the following will show:
An individual seeking to collect Il debt called
upon his Honor to begin suit. The Court in
formed the applicant that the first thing was to
deposit the costs, and in response to inquiry
stated that fifty dollars would do for a starter.
The money was paid over and the would-be liti-
CANT went after the evidences of Indebtedness.
Rafn ratu ha bis oh md
compromised with him. Appearing before the
Court, he stated that having made a satisfactory
settlement of the matter, he should bring no suit
and wanted the money he had left in Court
His Honor thereupon stated that it was a rule of
his Court never to pay any money back. Not
content with this ruling, the indignant seeker
after justice went to District Attorney Cunning
ham, who told him to go to Johnson and get his
receipt for the money and he would put him
through. Going back to Squire Johnson and
stating the object of his VISIT his Honor was
fully equal to the emergency said the Court :
" Mr.. Whats-your-name, the law allows me pay
for all the writing do now, if you will give
me fifty dollars more, III write you out re-
ceipt." 1t is perhaps needless to add that "Mr.
Whats-your-name" didn't get his money. OF Sc
ver it is said that he resigned his Office to whip
gentleman VIII o nsulted the Court.
