NOVEL PROCEEDINGS.
Jurisdiction OF Msgistratcs-A Case De.
cidrd In PulasI CITY

PULASKI CITY. VA. Feb. Especial.
Judge Pierce. of Montgomery who held
court for Judge Hudson in this county
at the last term, has Just given his opin-
ion In novel and quite important civil
case, which was before him, and which
he took time 10 consider
a party in Pulaski warranted a citi-
zen Of Richmond. and had process served
on him there. The judge, in an elaborate
opinion, dismissed the proceedings. Ii
would be queer II IN Virginia justice of
the peace could reach further and have
larger jurisdiction than a circuit Judge
and yet a good many reputable LAWYERS
insist that the statute bears just that
construction.
by virtue Of the provisions of the re-
cent act of the Legislature. in which the
people OF this county were permitted
10 vote on the question of the removal
OF the courthouse. Judge Williams. of
the circuit Court, was authorized 10
name the day of election, after certain
formalities had been complied with. the
most important of which being the Civ
ing of a bond of $4,000 on the part of
this town as security for the erection of
proper courthouse and TAIL should the
voters select this as the place for con-
structing the same. The petition, with
the required bond has been presented to
Judge Williams, and he will be here on
Friday, the 23d instant, TO hear from
all parties 10 the controversy as to the
sufficiency Of the bond offered, etc. and
to name the day of election. When this
has been done there will be music I'm
the air." The "McDuffs" are all ready
and they have minated desire to LAY
on" until some one cries hold, enough"
The town Of Pulaski had a large bill
10 pay on account of small poX. The
destruction OF infected property. doctors
guards. medicine, etc, swelled the ac-
count to big proportions. As this is sim
ply town in "a county. and not city,
the question has been asked by some of
our Taxpayers, as to whether or not
the county should not bear this burden.
We pay taxes TO the county, and II 1t
had been called upon TO fight the disease
we would have been forced 10 do our
part In every engagement with the com
mon enemy.

Rev. Or. J. c. Hiden introduced the dis

after a brief Introduction. in which he
stated that his purpose was 10 treat his
