Rutledge might be acceptable, | de
sire to inform you of the lively time
we have been having during the las
. week or SO. e fssHss a-tss
Chapcery Court week passed o
very quietly. for there was not ful
attendance Of people nor of lawyer
here. But Circuit Court paid ampl.
for the small attendance we had th
previous week. Last Monday we hat
the largest crowd we have had for I
long time. The legal fraternity Q
Granger and the adjacent counties
was we'll represented, SO there was
no lack on the lawyers part to make
it a business week. The following
is correct list Of lawyers that at
tended our bar Hon. A. A. Taylor
Judge Shields, Maj "A. H. Pettibone
Col. James White. Judge Rose, Col
Meek, Judge Swami, Judge HOuk

We were favored with two speech.
es on Monday, one by j. F. Leak, of
Sewer, and one by j. I. Rogers, of
Union. Both were good, but we must
say that we were agreeably surpris-
ed at Mr.. Leak. He gave US very
nice little speech. Still we opine he
will Leak OUT before he reaches the
office to which he aspires.
Maj. Pettibone spent a few days
with us, electioneering. While we ad-
init that he is an able, talented and
learned man. we must say he hasn't
the popular manners that so grace
fully adorn "lIttle ALI" Taylor; and
we believe that the latter is most
sure to get the nomination.
Next comes Col. "Jeemes'' White.
We are personally acquainted with
Colonel "Jeemes'' and we think him
one of the most genial men living.
He is full of vivacity and wit. and
always had a crowd about him. en-
joying his humor and his anecdotes.
We hope, AND understand, that he
will come regularly to our courts in
the future. -..- ..-. ...
Hen, Wm. V. Deaderick, of Sulli-
van county, was here the latter part
of the week. Mr.. d. is the Demo.
cratic candidate for Chancellor of
this district against the present in
cumbent, H. G. Smith, and the out
look is now that he will be our next
Chancellor. Any way. Granger
will contribute her might. Nr. d.
has but one thing alleged against
him--modesty and we all know that
modesty is not detrimental alIega.

Take him all in all. he is one of the

publicans, as well as most all of the
Democrats, who will heartily sup
port him, rather than the present
Chancellor. r.ar r. -r.t-s aar +s.
We see Judge Rose among the
list Of candidates. and we most sim
cerely hope that he will be our Judge
again in August next. We are not
for politics in such races, but for the
man who will make the best and
most efficient officer-the man who
has the brains Judge Rose. for in |
