Midway Notes.

A splendid rain has fallen here
to-day, and we think, as the Texan
said, "we'll make enough corn to do
us with what we will have TO buy"
Justice G. B. Norman's Court is
in session here to-day. One case,
has been put off-extended, or post
poned. The other is in. course of
trial now.
Lots of folks in Midway to-day.
Come to Court, / reckon. W. E.
Hall, from Benton Constable W.
9. Banks, from Rocky Mount, and
j. 3. Adger, Deputy q. S. Marshal,
from the branch, and many others,
including some of Africa's sons. Tt
makes one feel like Midway is on a
boom.
There are two good reasons why
road overseers ought to warn their
hands at once. First, the ground
is wet. Second, District Court con-
venes at Benton next Monday, and
sixteen men setting on a Grand Jury
are not to be fooled with. So warn
ont your hands.
By the way. Speaking of road
working, have we not a miserable
lot of roads, on account of a miser-
able way of working them, with a
miserable lot of hands, under a mis-
cradle road law?
1t seems to me that a grand turn
around is needed along this line.
