DANBURY, April 14.-The Spring
term of the Superior Court for this
county opened promptly on last Mon
day morning with Judge Montgomery
on the bench. His charge to the Grand
Jury is very favorably commented
upon, both by the bar and the people
generally. Over 100 cases on the GRIM
inal docket, though none of very Sc
rious nature, we understand. Judge
Montgomery dispatches business rap
idly and gives general satisfaction to
the people who have business in court
as we'll as to the bar. Besides the So
licitor, Mr.. Glenn, and the local bar,
the following gentlemen of the legal
fraternity are in attendance: Messrs.
Watson, Glenn and Kerner, of Wins
ton; Messrs. Carter, Haymore and
Deerman, of Mt. Airy; Mr.. Scott, of
Reidsville, Mr.. Holton, of Dobson and
Mr.. Phillips, OF Dalton.
By the way, our brethren of the
quill helped to swell the crowd. The

by its chief, Col. l.. l.. Polk the I'm

This is our first trip to this town
and are quite favorably impressed
with the "Native Hills of the Dan"
The people of the good old county of
Stokes are known as generous and
fun-loving people, "living for all that
life is worth" No people are perhaps
so much attached to their native land
as these jolly mountaineers. BY the
way they are none of your gander.

are contented and happy people, and
why not /? They have fertile soil, to

mate on the face of the earth. Moth
J ing is lacking to make this the "gar

road facilities, which we trust it may
have at no distant day. Crouchet

by the gurgling waters of the historic
Dan, this little town is seemingly in
