The ong~pending, Oft post-poned
suit of Gen. tombstone Jones against
Messrs. A. t. Mial, Columbus Mills,
Azariah Graves, ct al, prominent mem
bers of the State Grange, was heard
before Judge McKoy yesterday. If it
be decided, we shall give the particulars
next week.
The plea Of the Richmond and Dan
vile R. r., for an injunction forbidding
the North Georgia r. R. (Which runs
from Marietta, Ga, to Murphy, N. G.
and on into Tennessee, following the line
of the ''Ducktown Branch for u or
more miles, from occupying certain points
on the latters claimed Route Was to be
heard before Judge McKoy yesterday. Mai
Jas. w. Wilson. Col. Samue, Med Tate.
Capt. Jos. G. Mills (stockf olders), and
Schenk, the Danville's attorney, are in
attendance. The Murphy paper asserts
that the R. & ID. R. r., has neither sur
veyed. occupied nor secured Right of
Way" to the disputed points.
= ridiculously exaggerated account
of the Wilkes county horse stealing and
seduction case has been telegraphed all
over the North Ridiculous, but a good
deal more mischievous and damaging to
the State Prof" c. w. White is
described as the eminent Principal Of one
Of the most prominent female colleges of
the State, and his victim is painted as a
beautiful belle, of the most arristocratic
circles; :" whereas to any body acquainted
with Wilkes county, the fact that she is
a neice of j. @. A. Bryant, "Revenuer"
and ''Klrkite," will be sufficient; though
she may be, and no doubt is, an estimable
young lady. As for White, he is not a
Professor though a graduate of Trim
ity College, We believe. His mother is
the we'll known boarding house keeper;
AID there were some bad stories about
the robbing of a store several years ago
that led to his withdrawal from one or
more of the college societies, We are told.
We should prefer not to mention such
tuluGS WuCu d hdu Il III tiOuUiC . Oul luS
damaging report calls for it in the interest
of the fair lame of our State.
N. B.-The Landmark learns that
Waite borrowed, and did rot steal the
horse, as Capt. BRYANT stated, and White
says he opened school last week with co
scholars, which look as if the public in
Wilkes are not very much down on him.
In our :emarks abo t the need of a
new Coat Of Arms land BY the By, two or
three persons, members of the Legisla-
ture, and others, have written to endorse
our view, and urge a change) We men,i n
ed that DR.. g. w. B. could certify to the
exact spot where those merry maidens
were taking a little "cool off," down on
the sea-beach. We hit it, for true!
The genial Doctor postals-''Now why
don't you run down, yourself, and cool
off? Shall be glad to see you, and give
you the best in the shop" Thanks,
General, we should enjoy such a trip
immensely; for We hear very handsome
things said about the Atlantic" and
they say that Venus, the Queen of
Love and Beauty" who, as you know,
was born from the pearly foam of the
sea, could not have had a larger or
~loveller congregation of her daughters at
one time and place in North Carolina,
than daily pitti-pat their bare feet across
the sands to gambol don't spell this
gamble, or you'll be Drained with the
nine of Clubs" printerD in the 81 very
surf. Glad to notice that North Carolina
summer resorts, from mountain TO sea-
are getting a share of the money which
has hitherto emptied into White SULPHUR,
Long Branch, and Saratoga.
