NOTES.

Judge Cunningham in charging
the jury as to their duties e:siivered
one OF the most terse and logical dis
questions on the crime of murder
that the bar has heard for years,
dwelling with particular emphasis
upon this crime, be gave the jury
very plainly to understand that, at
this time, and in this enlightened
age of progress and civilization, no
citizen could com init it without prov
ocation, and that nine cases in ten
we're deliberate murders.
Mr.. Carter, the prosecuting attor-
ney, with his easy grace and deliber.
ate manner OF conducting prosecu-
tions on behalf OF the state, has done
excellent work in his sphere, and
has shown to the country that he is
the right man in the right place. He
doesn't make long speeches and for
this he should receive the gold med
al. He commences when ready and
when he gets through he stops, there
by setting a good example of brevity
TO the bar.
Mr.. w. S. Moore, an attorney who
has recently located here, was, upon
motion OF Judge Wilson, admitted
to the bar.
The visiting attorneys are }. +.
Joyner, of Atkins: Horace Bradley,
of Dover: Messrs. Crownover and
Toomer, Dardanelle.
The officers of the court are I'M
usually dilligcnt ia the performance
of their duties. Mr.. James Potts,
the clerk, is always at his post, while
John Young and his excellent depu-
ties are always ready and waiting"

notes thrift and enterprise. We are
glad to note this prosperity OF our
friends and trust their boom may
continue and bring them contentment
and ease.
