The case above named, OF which we
gave brief notice in last weeks issue,
and which was occupying the attention
OF the court at that time, held it's in
terest on spectators as we'll as interested
parties until it's close, which occurred
on Saturday afternoon. This case, like
every other case, had its own peculiari
ties. and also like every other case in
which testimony is offered, it might be
said that both sides proved the position
they claimed to occupy.
It will be remembered that the case
was one in which Col. Tom Vance tried
to obtain damages to the amount Of
$4,000 for injuries received at the hands
of John Abe and VIM. Moberly. The
injuries were inflicted after the hearing
OF trial in Buford in which Vance was
engaged as counsel and in which the
Moberleys were interested. A dispute
arose between Vance and John Abe
Moberly, who it appears had called Vance
to one side Of the room in which several
other parties were sitting, in reference to a
note held by Vance against Billy Mober.
ly, brother Of John Abe, which had
been given some time previous to the
day of this particular quarrel. The
Moberlys claimed that the said note had
been obtained by very questionable
methods as to attorney practice, while
Vance's claim was that it was an honest
debt and that he would collect it. How
much extra osths were used in addition
to those COMMONLY administered in a
Justices office is little hard to deter.
mine, or how much provocation Vance
gave John A. Moberly before he assault
ed him is not for us to say, but that an
assault was made seems to have been the
conclusion Of the jury in the case. The
verdict of the jury in the case was for
Vance, and 1t fixed the amount OF
damages sustained by him at 5000. 1t
would be quite hard to form guess if
either Of the contesting parties are salts.

sel are.

The services last Sunday at the Presby-
terian Church we're suddenly terminated
by the faiuting of Mrs. John Morrow. The
swoon or heart inaction had come on
her so suddenly that she was unable to
call anyone's attention to her condition
until falling in the pew attracted the
notice of those near by. She was car
ried to the basement of the church and
cared for by Drs. Patterson and Glenn,
who we're in their places at church,
She soon rallied and at last accounts is
about in her usual health.

Two Dozen Eggs Gone.

Last Monday evening Deputy Marshal
Pearl Rowe met with mortifying loss
out on West Main street. Pearl, in
company with First Marshal John
Lewis, had discovered that too much
hilarity and gymnastics we're being in
dulged in on College Hill. The twain,
in order to keep the peace Of the village,
improvised Strains delivery wagon
eggs and all-for patrol cart, and pro.
ceeded to the scene of the disturbance
fully equipped to bring the offenders to
Jail or justice. But in the performance
of their duty is where the disaster over
took the aforesaid eggs.
They found Josiah Adams, Chas.
Minor, Joseph johnson and Wesley
Stevens engaged in the manly art.
They, the four, had been looking on the
wine when it was red, and they at first
looked on our officials with a red glare,
but the duo were full match for the
quarto, and they loaded the four into
the patrol wagon, some in the rear and
some in the front end. The front loading
was what wrought disaster to the basket
of eggs. Mr.. Stevens, in getting into the
front end of the patrol wagon, convinced
the officers in charge that he was alto.
gether unacquainted with delivery wagon
methods or that he had not full control
of his No. 10 brogan, for he placed one
of those formidable appendings in Pearls
basket containing two dozen of eggs. OF
course they were "nogged" without any
favoring. There is but one lesson to be
drawn from this disaster through which
our officers have just passed and that is,
don't try to carry four prisoners and a
basket of eggs in The same patrol wagon.
