T. E. Brown, Esq, of Luverne, has
received the appointment Of Judge Of
the District Court, for the unexpired
t. rm Of Judge PEI kins, resigned. This
appointment gives satisf cl!un to the
members Of the bar, and the people Of
the district Mr.. Brown has had a
large practice in tie courts, aud his
ability and fitness fox thi; responsible
place is rer"g;: Zsd by all.
The term of tie district court ap-
pointed to begin this week in Mobiles
county has been 80 lpnntd until Mon
day March 10Th, 1891, in order that
Judge Syv"r.,'ce may he abb to at
tend ana pre- side. THIS arrar cement
is made that cases in which Judge
Brown WAS employed as counsel may
proceed witln Ut delay on that account.
Judge Blown Was here this week
hearing motions. The court and Jury
cases will bc tried before Judge
Severance.
On Tuesday Sheriff Anderson arrest
ID Frank Berry 1T his home in Graham
Lakes township, aud brought him to
Nolthington, on charge OF assault
committed upon Charles Richards, his
brothcrin law, some time ago. Until
recently Berry has been conveniently
absent from Sheriff Anderson's baili-
wick. On "Wednesday morning, on be-
lug brought before Judge Bear, Bprr,
asked 4 postpnncnent on account of
The illness OF his legal adviser, Judge
Wilson. The case was set for Monday
morning.
We have before us copy Of the
Chronicle, of Huopeston, III contain
ing cuts Of the neA Water Works and
Stand Pipe, erected in 1889 in that
place. AS tow ornaments they are Il
delight to the eye. and as furnishing
pure water for ,mestic use aud as
protection against fire, they are inval
liable. The works have Il capacity Of
10000 gallons, and cost Sl5,' 90. Tie
revenue Of the works for the first yea,
more than paid all running expenses
aud interest on bonds, and all other
expen ses. The fire protection was a
clear gain. We s;Iall have more t. say
on this matter next week
It appears that a lawyer never be-
comes SO distinguished in lis prof-s-
sion that he may not be victimized by
the practical joker. Last Saturday
evening p. E. Brown Esq. received a
package by express which to all appear
ances might have contained law books.
And right here it may be well enough
70 state that the package was sent by
Il very wicked, sawtd.o Off young man by
the name of Criah Aver, who lives in
Window. BY a strange coincidence,
just as Mr.. Brown had opened the
package and revealed it's conteuts. Il
number of 1.-The boys" happened to
drop into his office from the Sccurit,
bank entrance. And just at that par
ticular time, moreover, a scene of
great confusion and hilarity ensued.
This was occasioncd by the disclosure
Of the corporeal Entertainments con-
tanned in the package aforesaid.
Among other things there was pair
Of wooden shoes, low Gro wned Derb,
hat of the vintage of '76, I. red bandana
handkerchief, a light-colored summe,
waist coat, boiled nndergarment
with rut1led front ornamented with a
mammoth diamond pin and lurid
neck.tie such as Lord Chief Justice
Sir Edward Coke is supposed to have
worn, and to complete the outfit an
Anticipated grip sack, very much like
the one Bro. Ellis carries his bibles in,
except that this one was appropriately
ornam ented with pictures Of game
birds, intended presumably to repre-
sent tame ducks. The outfit, it is pre-
