Circuit Court.

: the opening OF the circuit court In III
new quarters.
Promptly at 8 o'clock Judge
: Strother made his appearance and
finding everything ready for business
proceeded to open court with but lit
tie formality. The first business al.
, tended TO was the formulating OF
. rules for the government of the court,
among which was one introduced and
advocated by Geo. P. B. Jackson, ex.
, Guiding from inside the bar all per.
sons except attorneys and the court
officials. The rule was adopted and
shortly after reporter happened in
court to see how matters were pro-
eressing, seeing no sest outside the bar
and knowing the privileges
always accorded the press representa-
tives, the scribe stepped inside and
took a seat. He noticed rather bold
stare upon the countenance of the re-
doubtable George, but being unaware
of the new rule of his Majesty's crea-
ton. thought nothing of it. Pretty
soon Dir. jackson crossed over to the
deputy sheriff and informed him he
must order the scribe out.
"What forg he is a reporter" said
the deputy,
That makes no difference he has
no business inside the bar, and shall
request the court ts see you perform
your duty unless you expel him." said
George.
The deputy came over to the scribe
and informed him OF the state of at
fairs.
Not having long to stay and finding
nothing to stay for. the scribe took
his departure, doubtless much to the
relief of the embryo legal chief. Later
in the day the court was again visited
and G. 2. was still found mounted on
guard but the scribe secured the fol
lowing proceedings and skipped:
