In the Court Of Common Pleas.

Immediately on the adjournment of the
Court of Sessions Friday morning the
Court of Common Pleas was opened. The
Court was then adjourned until Monday
morning and Judge Aldrich, in company
with Col. M. P. Tribble, went up to Glenn.
son College during the recess.
Monday morning Conrt was organized
and Juries Nos. and 2 drawn.
The first case tried was that of 8. D..
Brownlee and E. W. Brown as surviving
partners of E. W. Brown & Sons against
r. P. Clinkscales, complaint on note.
Messrs. Tribble & Prince represent the
plaintiff, and Messrs. Murray 81 Murray
and Whitner & Simpson the defendant
The case was heard by Jury No. /. This
case was tried at the last term and resulted
in mistrial. The case in short is that
the note sued on was given for guano In
1880, and the defendant refused payment
on the ground that the guano did not
analyze up to the guarantee made by the
manufacturers. After voluminous evil
dence and argument the case was given to
the Jury, and they were in their room
the whole of Tuesday night celebrating
on the case, and at this writing (Wednes-
day morning) it is supposed there will be
another mistrial. This case has excited
general interest.
The case of A. w. Seawright as Admin.
istrator, against C. B. Gilmer, complaint
on promissory note was tried before Jury
No. and resulted in verdict for Sl0l.66.
Messrs. Tribble & Prince and J. N. Brown
represented plaintiff and Murray q Wat
kins the defendant.
The business Of Court is not extensive
and the Court will probably adjourn
Thursday evening, and the Juries will be
dismissed to day.

In MemorIan.

MEssRs. EDITORS: My heart was made
sad on last Thursday whom was inform
ed that Mrs. Wallie Witherspoon was
dead. My mind at once ran back to
childhood days, when knew her as q
schoolmate-a bright, interesting, kind
hearted little girl; and later on develop
ing into q perfect specimen Of woman
hood. She became the wife Of DR.. R. g.
Witherspoon, and lived happily together
until Thursday morning, the 9th of Oc-
tober, 1892, when the God who gave her
noble spirit called her home.
Mrs. Witherspoon was the daughter of
tho lato Thos. Ii. Anderson, ESQ.,, and
was at the time of her death about 35
years of age. She was consistent men,
ber of the Presbyterian Church, and was
in the strictest sense Of the word most
exemplary christian woman. She wor-
SHIPPED and associated with all orthodox
christians, and stood ready at all times
with open hands to render assistance to
the suffering and needy, consequently
she was loved and admired by large
circle. Like the good Samaritan she was
always by the bedside of the suffering,
speaking words Of comfort, love and
cheer, mingling her tears with theirs, in
dark and weary hours she was not for
getful to commend them to Him who
doeth all things well.
Taking her life as whole she proved
herself to be an amiable, modest and
most lovable woman; an upriC',t chris
tian, a devoted companion, good neigh
Dor, ever letting her light shine, proving
her faith by her daily walk; and though
her body lies to-day silent in the grave
at Roberts Church, and while her tongue
is dumb, and her once useful body is hid
from our view, her memory still lives,
and will be living witness bearing tes-
timony that the wiscst philosophers can
not invalidate, nor tho violence Of the
swiftest foes destroy. May the sorrow
kept under the shadow Of the Savior's
love, and at last join her on the other
shore. S.

Prcscntnent of the Grand .!urr:

To his Honor james A'rich, presiding
Judge
The grand jury beg leare to report that
we have passed on all the bills submitted
to us.
BY committee we have examined The
books of the county officers and submit the
following report:
I'VE lave satisfied ourselves that all
funds collected and disbursed by onr coun-
ty officials are properly accounted for upon
the records. That the bonds given by said
officers are good and sufficient.
1--WE find in the Office of the Clerk Of
Court the records nre conveniently arranged
and as we'll kept rs the limited space allotted
for this purpose will admit. There. is Ger
tainly want Of room for the work, and for
the proper preservation of the records of
this office.
"a new index book after q letter system
is very much needed in the Office of the
Probate Judge, and we recommend that
such book be purchased and the re-index-
ing be done at once.
I'VE note al ever increasing expense in
CURED by the county in the purchase of
fuel and blankets and repeated repairs for
the jail, necessary for the proper care Of the
prisoners, caused by The dilapidated condi-
ton af this building.
"In connection with the Office of County
Auditor we are advised that great difficulty
is experienced in getting suitable township
boards of assessors, us no compensation is
allowed for this very important work.
These boards should be composed of COM
petent men, familiar with property in their
sections. Returns as now received nre in
complete in many instances and consider
able property escapes assessment or is
assessed under value"
Complaint is made to us that the bridge
across Drushy Creek at Rosamond's mill is
in q dangerous condition. Also Tippen's
bridge in Penhleton township.
Further complaint is made that in certain
pnr!s of the county the dead timber is
allowed to oycrllanG certain public roads.
We recommend that the law be enforced
10 remove distinctions in CoX's and Fox's
creeks running through the lands of Mrs.
w. D. Evins
We have by committee visited the poor
house and county Jail. AT The poor house
We find forty-scvc! l47) inmates, who are
well cared fer, and The farm and buildings
in good condition. We recommend the
digging of ncw we'll OH the premises Of
the poor house to furnish water for the
cooking department Of the negro quarters.
We find The Jail crowded with prisoners,
more room badly needed and the present
building insecure.
We would express our thanks to his
Honor, the presiding Judge, and the So
licitor for courteSies extended during this
term of the Court.
