The Heated Term.

The past heated term has been about the
worst Staunton has experienced, for 96c to
$50 for two OF three day on a stretch was
not uncommon. The nights too have been
close, something unusual here, and the
people were fairly wearied out with the

court, who could not finish sentence with

and whose general appearance indicated
that there was not dry thread on him.
In the county court while Judge Chalkley
was in session, man named Frank Wilson
from Kentucky, afflicted with heart trou-
BILE, was overcome by the heat and fell to
the floor. He was taken to the circuit
clerks office, where Drs. Patterson, Par
kins and Catlett attended him. and he was
later sufficiently recovered to be taken to
Mrs. Bells boarding house.

An Important Decision to Farmers.

THE $40 LIMIT OF JUSTICES DECISIONS.
A decision important to all, but Of es-
pecial Importance to farmers along the
line of railroads, whose stock is killed by
the cars, was rendered by the Supreme
Court of Appeals last Thursday. Judge
Geo. M. Harrison delivering the opinion
1t was the appeal of the Norfolk 4 Western
Ry. Co. VS.. Miles B. Clarke, from P ulaski
and there is similar case from ROckbridge
still pending. The statute provides that
there shall be no appeal from the decision
of a justice where the amount involved,
exclusive of interest, does not exceed $40.
And further on it is provided that there
shall be no stay of the execution issued by
justice where the matter in dispute, ex-
elusive Of interest and costs, does not
exceed $40. The contention of the rail
road was that the costs entered in and
formed part of the amount involved in
the decision. and that they were entitled to
appeal when the costs raised the amount
of the execution above $40. The court
held that the costs have nothing with the
amount in controversy, and that there can
be no appeal from the judgment of JUS
tice, unless the amount in controversy,
exclusive of interest and costs, is of great
Ell amount or value than $40.
This decision will be very welcome to the
farmers, for many Of them who lose an
animal worth from $25 to $50 OF ever
more, are willing to sue for the small
amount of $40 rather than be dragged
through the upper courts by the railroads
with all the expense of counsel fees that
accompany the process and which eat W
the real value of the animal even if they
are lucky enough to get verdict for it
Under this decision when the plaintiff gets
the decision of a justicefo $40, there is NJ
appeal and he gets his money.

vote of 1871 to 80, the requisite number being

The time ball which you see up on the
front OF our building falls every day Except
Sunday at precisely - o. clock. This ball
is raised to the top OF the brass rod at
about fifteen minutes before II O'Clock and
when the time comes over the wire from
Washington the hands on our clock are set
at twelve and at the same time an electro
cal arrangement releases the ball.
Watch the ,ball-if the hands of your
watch do not point to twelve when. the
ball drops, it is not right, bring it in the
store, we'll fix it for you.
