Circuit COUrt.

The above Court was convened last
Monday, and a large number of litigants
and witnesses, backed up by a sufficient
humble of lawyers, were present.
The Court was called at ii 80 o'clock
Judge Mayors. who had been asked by
Judge Chrisman to hold the court, not
coming until IL o'clock.
The instruction of His Honor TO the
Grand Jury was very searching and as
s~uccinct as possible. He called their at.en-
ton to the oath they had taken, and
warned them that they were TO made known
zone of the secrets of the Grand Jury
room. He reminded them of the fact
that, in bis opinion, if the county officers
would execute their duty to the letter
there would be much less crime to COM
plain of, and the courts would not be
troubled so much trying criminal cases
and that therefore the county officers
should be held to a strict accountability.
He then briefly defined the duties of the
various officers of the county, and showed
for what o~ffenses they were indictable.
The duty of the Board of Supervisors was
especially pointed out, and he dwelt some
what on defining a road overseer's respon-
sibility. The Judge certainly believes in
having good roads, and when he had fin
ished that portion Of his charge a gentle
man standing near US remarked that every
road -overseer in the county would be in
dicted. We hope he was miataken. The
Judge also instructed them as TO gambling
and directed attention to the "~Bulldozing
Law" passed for the benefit of Lincoln
Pike and Amite counties. The charge
an exhaustive one, stringent through
out and had the ring of the right metal.
No important cases have yet been tried

Better than ouinnine.

For the speedy and certain cure of all
malarial diseases,no medicine has yet been
invented equal to DR.. c. P. Duncan's cele-
brated Chill Tonic. 1t contains no arsenic,
strychnine, or q%uinine, in any form: conse-
~ouentlv it produces none of the bad effects
which commonly result from the use Of
those mineral and poisonous medicines.
Duncan's Chill Tonic p%urifes and builds
up the Impoverished blood, giving tone
and strength to the whole system--one
bottle equal to three dollars worth Of
%uuinine.

SrR-I have critically examined the
claims of the "Mayfeld Water Elevator
and have seen it in use for the past two
months. 1t undoubtedly purlhes the wat
err, is convenient and easy to manage, and
the simplicity of its construction rem
d ers it almost impossible for it to get out
of repair. ] believe it to be the best meth
cd of raising water for drinking purposes
that has ever been brought to my notice
l believe that its general use is only a
question of time, the fact of its undoubt-
eddy rendering the water pure is merit
enough in itself without reciting its other
advantages, as impure water is a princi-
pal cause of i'll health and disease in our
climate. Yours Truly,
