PLAIN POINTERS.
ley A CLOSE OBSERVER.


One of the weak spots in hui
man nature is, the hatred to be
criticised or corrected of some
faults which the human family is
subject to. a man will very sell
dom admit his error, unless act
ually driven to it. Some people are
even so sensitive as to take Of
fence at a newspaper remark if he
only imagines that he is the party
for whom same was intended. He
will abuse the paper and its editor
because they unintentiOnally
stepped on his cOrns.
If a person should happen to
slip in within the reach of the
camera, while the artist is in the
act of taking views, and his image
will be impressed on the picture,
could the artist be blamed for the
undesired result? Can the editor
be justly condemned, because you
slipped in too near his camera?
Why, if his criticism fits you, it is
rather your misfortune than the
editors fault.
Modern civilization is indebted
to a great extent, to honest, fear

minded journalists have accom-
plished more to advance the hui
man race, than all the people from
their pulpits. While the divine

this was not equitable aud just aud we

James VredeRburgh, Of counsel for the
county, followed Mr.. McGee. He said
that the Boulevard was the result of a
popular vote. The act under
which the Boulevard was voted for, pro-
vlded that all property along the line of
the Boulevard should be acquired by
condemnation proceedings. Under this
act three commissioners have been APP

THE CoUNTY's CASE PRESENTED.
The lawyer said:-"The question at
issue is: First.-What was the value of
the whole property 3u the day that the
commissioners condemned it. Second =
What is the property that Is lett worth
The difference bstweea these amounts
should be the amount that the county
shoulu pay Mr.. Ringle. The property
was bought by Mr.. Ringls at SherIff's
sale twelve years ago Tor 81 900. IL is not
the question OF what was paid for ths
property, but what it il worth tolay.
The houses he says cost him SIG, 100 to
build, we will show you they eau be
built TO-DAY for $1,000. The lots. We con
tend, are not worth more than 81 900
each, but Mr.. Ringle wants $4,000 eacn
for tnem. Mr.. kingle is a sharp business
man who has lived In this county for u
great many years as good citizsn, and
certainly should not be kept out of
dollar that rightfully belongs to him. By
his keen, shrewd business ability ne
has amassed fortune, but we do not
propose to let him make any fortunes out
of the county. He should be treated
just the same as any other citizen''
This concluded the preliminary re-
marks and the jury escorted by Messrs.

ground to review 1t. the case will be

JACOB RINGLH'S land.
His Appeal From the Boule-
ward Commissioners
Award OH Trial.

Among the most important cases that
has been in the Circuit Court for many
weeks was begun today before Judg .
Lippincott and q struck jury. 1t was
the suit brought by Jacob Ringle on ap-
peal from the award of the Commission
ers OF Cond emnation of Lands acquired
for the New Boulevard by the county
There are lis more cases of a similar
character to this one which must be tried.
and the result of Mr.. Ripgle's appeal
will, In many respects. govern those
cases. The verdict of the jury in this
case will. to certain degre e, form a
precedent for other juries to follow, and
many OF the rulings in the case will be
followed In succeeding cases.
When the case was called, three jurors
failed to respond to their names. Two Of
them had moved from the county, and
the third, Benjamin B. Davis. failed to
make any excuse whatever, and an order
was issued by the Court to compel Mr..
Davis to show cause why he should not
be punished for contemot OF court.
BOTH PARTIES TO OPEN.
After considerable fencing by the
lawyers, 1t was agreed that both
parties should open the case and explain
their positi ion to the jury, after which the
jury should visit the property in ques-
tion. On behalf of Jacob Ringle. Counsel
lor Flavel MCGEE opened The case.
A large map was used by him to explain
the position of the property and better
illustrate his remarks to the jury. He
said Mr.. Ringle a number of years ago
bought the property and that
since then he had made many ex-
pensive improvements upon it. He
constructed sewer for the use of his
dwelling house and his fat houses. His
grounds had been planted with choice
trees and besntified. The Boulevard,
just before it reaches the Ringle property,
makes sharp turn aud goes directly
through the property in diagonal course
dividing the barn and taking all OF the
stables.
The lawyer claimed that in conse-
quence of the damage to the property.
Mr.. Ringle would be forced TO sell 1t, and
that 1T was but fair that he should get
just price for it. He should be well paid
for the land taken for the Boulevard and
also for the damage done the remaining
property. The cost of moving shouts
likewise be considered, for Mr.
Ringle will now be compelled
10 seek another home Mr.. MCGEE adj
mitted that the Boulevard would benefit
every body as whole, but that it would
fpjure Ringle more than benefit him.
| Mr.. McGse said the lawyers would prove
to the jury the value of the property, and

such proof. He then then read the fol-
