INTERESTING COURT rRoczRDr>Gs

INTERESTING COURT PkoNEhDlNGS
Quite an interesting case came up. last
Monday, at County Court, before his
worship Judge Bozarth. The case was
an application for Iicease to keep tavern,
10y John Il South. of Wildwood. A great
many citizens around Mllwool were op,
posed to the granting of license, among
them the Rev James D. Harmed, who
oppo ed it so strenuously ~ to get up
counter petition, which he presented to
the court No notice WAS taken of this
contemplation. and the Judge granted
the license This exaspcr,ted the rev.
errnd gentleman, who. forgeiiul OF his
sacred cloth. and the respect due a court
OF Justice. used some very insulting Ian
guage towards his worship. who instant
ly fined the delinquent one dollar and
fifty cents for contempt of court. This
is the first time ever heard Of preacher
Of the gospel having to pay fine for that
kind OF an offense Some blame the
Judge, and come praise hun, for his ac-
ton in the premises. but | say, among
them be it, blind fiidlers," for its none
of my business.
BARD PLACE FOR SEwsPAPERs
II is hard matter to get it into the
heads of great many Graysonites that
a newspaper is as much essential TO the
farmer and business man rs their plows
or ledger. Since the Grayson Journal
has given mp the CHEST. ! have talked to
a great many in the interest OF the HER.
AID, hut have met with very little en-,
courageme1I from these "know-it>all
sons of Grayson. Now, my advice to
those in the journalistic profession. would
be TO keep away from Grayson county If
they have any regard for their stomachs
One paper has been starved to death, and
old Grayson is well able t. starVe dozen
more.
BIG AND LITTLE L.
There is certain class in the country
who's favorite expression OF, oh, he's no
account" is applied To nearly every one.
outside OF their own class. These are
the ones who. having the good fortune,
or misfortune, of inheriting few acres
Of rocks and brush, think that God crea-
ted them out of better material than
their less fortunate neighbors. and that
all the sense was besto.ed upon them
and their lineal descendants to the detri-
ment Of every one else. But my idea is
that lie created them for the express pur>
pose of seeing what great fools He could
make, without creating complete idiots
.'Ah would some power the giftie gle us
To see nursel's as ithsrs see u,
1t wad fra mony blunder free us,
And foolish notion"
CRIMINAL COURT
Criminal Court broke mp last Friday,
very little having been accomplished
Cases that would have been interesting
we're laid over until next term, and only
few minor cases tried Among these
we're the incendiary trial Of Gregson and
the Sutton forgery case The former wac
indicted for attempting to set a dwelling
house on fire; and was sentenced to the
mild term Of three months in the peni
Tertiary. j. w. Sutton. former sewing
machine agent, well known TO the cili-
zens of Hartford, was indicted for for
ging note, but through some legal TECH
nicali,y was acquitted. The court broke
up with a regular fracas, in which a
rising limb OF the law was immured in
the county Jail for contempt Of court. w.
r HayRes was engaged in defending a
road case, which was being tried before
Judge Murray, without the assistance Of
jury. The judge fined the defendant
fifteen dollars, which provoked Haynes
into using the net very compliments
ry expression, that there was no justice
in the decision" whereupon the judge
ordered him TO Jail, but sller an hour OF
