So the struck eagle, stretched upon the plain,
No more through rolling clouds TO soar again,
Viewed his own pinion ON the fatal dart,
And winged the shaft that quivered in his heart.

in his coffin.

The Distribution Of Supreme Court
Reports.
WArNEsnoRo, January n, 1884

EDrroRs CLARION Permit us TO call the
attention of the Legislature to the con-
struction of section 265, Revised Code of
1880, touching the distribution of Supreme
Court Reports
The law says the Secretary of State shall
transmit one copy of each vol
ume to the clerk of each court of record.
Only one copy comes to counties where the
clerk serves both courts. Now, the word
court means the judge, chancellor, and
maybe Board of Supervisors. 1t is quite
inconvenient to have only one volume
among the officers and attorneys of coun-
ty. The Code is furnished officers and why
deprive our piney woods counties of vol
ume of such important iuformations
The Legislature should remedy the in
convenience of the present construction of
the law. ]. L. MoRRIs.
