Elsewhere we publish, under the head
of Adrian Department, three ADVERTISE
ments from Adrian. DR.. Hiestand has
been advertising with us for some time
and has been introduced to our readers
before. Mr.. Childs advertises the A.
drian Hotel, which opened last winter
under his management. Mr.. G. made
good reputation as a landlord while
he kept the Halfway House, and be-
ing a No. l man he cannot fail to be
popular. Capt. Wigham, who adver-
tises his store, opened in Adrian last
winter, having gone there from Little
Rock. The Captain is gradually be-
coming known to the people Of this
county as Il man Of sterling character
and he cannot fail to do a good business
at Adrian.
This new village, since the opening
Of the branch road, has sprung into i'm
pOrtance as one Of the best points for
shipping wheat in this part of the State.
We predict quite 4 busy future for A.
drian.
COURT ITEMS
Our friend W. II. Ingraham must he
good deal of a wag. He tried to be
excused from Jury service the other day
on the ground that lie had been a read
or Of tle'' war paper" in which he had
read about the Sutton-Rohrer mob
which threw Prof. Humiston's furni-
ture into the street. The Judge would
not let him off on that plea. It is there
fore decided that reading the ADVANCE
don't tlsqualify man for jury service.
Attorney Rohrer got off a pretty good
joke the other day while the jury was
being I'm .nneleu to try him and SUIT
ton for throwing Prof. Humiston's fur
niture out. Several persons were chal-
lenged on the ground that they were
members of the Methodist Church.
Rohrer objected to this us rejecting on
the church and said the reputation of
the church was bad enough already"
A good joke on the Pastor of the
Methodist Church was developed dur
ing a recent trial in Court. Among the
effects of Prof. Humiston, left in the
Colony Office when the furniture was
thrown out, was case or cupboard of
some kind. 1t came out that the Pas
tor had this at his house and was using
it for Il cupboard. In justice to the
Pastor it ought to be said that lie was
perfectly willing to surrender the prop
erty.
Attorney Buck said the other day
that he had never seen in any Court
room, so many intellegent-looking peo-
pie, to the same number, as he saw here.
lie added that it was a pity that the
people should be involved in quarrels.
Buck was right. It is a pity that the
Trustees Of the NJ. E. Church, acting
as individuals, have endeavored to rob
DR.. Miller Of the building known as
Miller Hall. It is ap:ty that Sutton,
Rohrer, Brown and Frank Safer threw
Prof. Uumiston's furniture into the
street. It is pity that rowdyism was
encouraged until it became a disgrace
to the town. But, then, these flight
! Affections are but fora moment.''
| Lawyers Buck and Rohrer both ex-
pressed their surprise at the frankness
with which Prof. lIumiston gave his
testimony in the recent trespass sui.
Buck said, in his jury plea, that he
thought much. more Of the Professor
than he ever did before, and Rohrel
said the same thing, in our hearing, at
the hotel. This much in justice to the
! Professor.
