 Judge Hesrne opened Circuit court Monday morning, promptly on tune, In his charge to the Grand Jury, he went through the entire criminal statutes, giving them ex- plcit instructions. 1t was a duty well performed--a splendid charge.

 As we go to press to-day, (Wed- nesday) the case of Clent McFad- din, colored, charged with the mur der of Stroup, is being tried. Case of the State vs. Whitten, also charg- ed with murder, comes up next Powell, who killed Howell at Her rings gin, has been turned loose by the Court, the Grand Jury having passed upon case and refused to in- dict him. Evidence proved self-de- fence-Howell had piece of scant- ling and was advancing on Powell, when latter cut and killed him.
 Thursday we noticed very large dressed hog at Ahurrow's meat mar ket. We harmed it was brought n by Mir Tobe Hunnlcut, one of De Ann's most progressive farmers /; weighed 471 pounds net, and brought Mr. II. S23 85-about as much as a bale of cotton now brings. It seems to us that raising cattle, hogs, horses, etc, would beat raising cotton. Ben Terrell, the Alliance lecturer, was right when he said it would pay the farmers better to raise food products alone, together with stock, rather than cotton.
 The Leap Year party at MT. and Mrs. Walters Friday evening was an enjoyable entertainment, and one at which the young people had 8 magniiiccul time. The exchange If manners pertaining to the respec- tive sexes the chivalry of the young ladies, and the maiden moiesty of the gentlemen-was ludicrous in the extreme, but was highly enjoyed and was the source of much merri- ment to those present. During the evening an elegant supper was served to the party by Mrs. Waller, follow ing which the young people indulged themselves to good time at games and other methods of entertainment until quite late hour. Expressions of gratitude for the pleasant time each one had spent were showered upon Mrs. Waller at the parting.
