The proceedings begun in the court
Of ordinary required thirty days no
| tice by publication in the county news
paper Civil suits must be fled IN
| the inferior court clerks office twenty
| days before the term Dabney, Tor
rance approving, decided to have copy
| and process OF the last put in the hands
| OF tho sheriff, with instructions to
serve them upon Anderson on the day
| Of the appearance OF the advertise
| r1ent of tho other in the Southern Re-
| cordeP.
There Is curious combination of
| oowardice and bravery In men like
| ANDERSON It seems wonderful what
! risks they will take whom considerable
| moneys or other stakes as precious are
| at the c0d Of the perilous roads they
undertake to travel There seems
some degree Of insanity tn their au-
| dacity. Anderson had learned TO stand
| with apparent calnness before out
| spoken, severe, angry condemnation
| OF some of hts practices and. when II
was over, turn away and go about his
| other business. II was the unexpected
ness Of the civil suit, far more than
| the newspaper advertisements, that
made him pale in the presenc Of the
| sheriff. For moment he was thrown
| off his guard: yet in another his long
| white teeth appeared behind sardoEic
smile, and he saids
'-Old saying. Mr.. Ennis. when it rains
| IL pours; but think I'll be able to
| show the people of Baldwin county
that it Isn't anything but shower
| after all the laundering. don't know
! what made nay father give noe the big
| gest share OF his property, unless BE-
cause he thought I'd take care Of 1t.
| I don't know that you know 1t, Mr.
| Ennis. but Hannah knows that have
| been always ready to allow, and allow
more than she could have any lawful
| right to calculate on. Cullen knew 1t
too, before he died. that, being my own
| brother, couldn't but thinl, heap Of.
But it looks like, now, that she just
simply wants to bother me and perse-
| cute me, when she knows perfect well
| that there's no woman think more of
| than her, being as she is my own and
| only brothers widow. It looks rather
hard, Mr.. Ennis
ssOf course, Mr.. Anderson. you under
! stand nay persist, which I'm simple
| officer of the court. and isn't supposed
| to know anything about the merits of
| the case"
Certainly do, Mr.. Ennis; and you've
been sheriff long enough to know that
often where there's great cry there's
| mighty little wool, as I've no doubt
you've heard the expression. I've al
| ways respected you. Mr.. Ennis, as
man and as Q sheriff, Lot to say any
| thing as friend Occasionally,
wouldn't undertake to say how often,
it's been my pleasure to help you in
your election and other times and
| things, In trifing little ways, we won't
hope that next time they won't press
