of the expense Of building. Mr.. John NJ.
Stone, Ordinary of Cobb county, refused.
Fulton county commissioners brought suit
against John 81 Stone, Ordinary OF Cobb
county" for the amount. Messrs. Clay &
Blair, Gober Il Alexander, of this place,
were employed, and when the suit came
up, they demurred to the suit, in that il
was brought against John NJ. Stone, Orr
binary" when the law says it shall be
brought against the county. Lawyer
Thomson argued persistentiy before the
court tina. the suit was couched in right
phraseology, but Cobbs demurrer was sus
tanned by the Superior Court Fulton s
lawyers carried the case to the Supreme
Court, and that tribunal has just sustained
Cobk's demurrer, showing that the Mariet-
ia lawyers know little law themselves,
Notwithstanding Atlanta has a brilliant
array of legal talent. As the law says the
suit shall be brought in twelve months,
that time having expired, Falton is now
debarred from bringing her claim again.
Their lawyers let their foot slip when
they failed to bring new suit instead OF
carrying the old one to the Supreme Court
Cobb county would have won the suit any
way on its merits.

Mr.. Joseph NJ Brown is remodeling his
residence on Whitlock Avenue, adding
rooms, verandas, bay windows, etc. When
completed it will be very attractive, con-
venient and comfortable. The beautiful
grove in which the house is located, has
been enclosed with an iron fence, painted
green. Neat fencing also encloses the
garden. The place is one of the prettiest
and most desirable in town, and under the
magical touch of Mr.. Browns good taste
and pocket, many points of beauty are be-
8 ing brought out. The magnificent oaks
with their outrageous branches
are inviting and lend attractiveness to the
grove. The lots. which he had plated in
his addition, are nicely laid Of trees plant
ed, walks l~id down and park being nicely
arranged, all in such splendid taste, as to
give this portion of town a city appearance
Mr.. Brown expects to sell off some OF these
lots, at public auction next month, and we
predict that they will command ready sale
and good prices. Mr. Brown has opened
. up several streets leading in two direc.
tons to town, on Whitlock Avenue and
Polk street to Church street. and Boule-
ward to little Kennesaw Mountain makes a
splendid drive and will no doubt be con-
stantly thronged.
