As has been stated in these columns, Judge Coifey decided the contested election cases last week in favor of McCullars and Wilson and desperate rush was made to the state capital to have commissions issued to the victors in the contest But the fact was over looked that the law allows three days for a motion for a new trial, and while Judge Sanders was moving heaven and earth for his clients, Messrs. Norton & Prewett and Williams were quietly preparing their motion for new trial. In the meantime the term expired. Saturday night came and Judge Coffey adjourned his court over until Monday. His commission expired Sunday. and Monday morning His Honor Judg9 Hinton was qualified and opened the court. The motion for new trial came up before him and for satisfac- tory reasons the motion was granted. The fact is that there has never been a trial of the case, the hearing be- fore Judge Coffey being d farce from beginning to end. When the case comes up again it will be thoroughly dissected and tried on it's merits.
 Rev. w. D. Kelley's appointment for Sunday morning had to be cancel ed on account of the funeral of John II. Pope, and large audience which had gathered at the church to hear him were sorely disappointed. At night, however, Rev. Kelley preached the last sermon of his four years pas torate at this this charge to q large congregation. The old choir, composed of Mrs. Kelley, Miss NJ. B. Mosely, Mrs. B. D. Hatcher, W. F. Horney and the writer, sang the anthems and were kindly assisted in the other music by l.. Rollwage. After the sermon Rev. Kelley invited his friends to come for ward and give him last hand shak- ing, which was heartily responded to, and to close he took up collection stating that he knew of no better way to close his work here. Himself and family left this morning for their new , field of labor, bearing with sthem the best wishes and kindly feelings of all who have known them here. TIE TIMES wishes Mir. Kelley much success in his great work, and the family a full measure of the happiness attaina- ble in this world.
