District Court.

The business of the third week
of court began on Tuesday. al
though a number of jurors were on
hand Monday, owing to an error OF
the sheriff, who agrees to pay them
or the parish the extra days pay
entailed by his oversight.
In the case of the State vs.. John
Guynes and Thos. Kelly, on trial
for murder when we went to press
last week, the jury returned a ver-
dict of not guilty.
His honor adjourned court on
last Saturday over to Tuesday, on
which day the interesting case
against the three negroes, Geo.
Milligan, Butler Johnson and Ed.
Clifton, for the robbery of Geo. w.
Day, a white man, was set for tlial.
This case consumed three days, the
accused being ably defended by
Messrs. Henry Bernstein and Jno.
A. Williams, and ended in the con-
viction of all three of the negroes
after the jury had remained locked
up over night.
Friday morning the trial of B.
F. and T. o. Moore, charged with
murder, was gone into, and nearly
all day was taken up selecting q
jury. The regular panel was ex.
hausted and a large number OF
talesmen summoned. At noon his
honor discharged the regular ju.
rors, from which it appears that all
other cases go over to the Septem-
Der term except the Moores now on
trial. The attorneys for the de-
tense are Messrs. w. G. Roberts
and Henry Bernstein, who are max
ing a stubborn fight for them as
we close this report.

Fishville Items.


Editor Collar Chronicle:
As I have not seen anything
from this point lately, l have de-
cided to tap the memory of the out
side world and have them recall to
mind the name of Fishville once
more, and impress upon their
minds, the fact that we are not
dead, even though we are not quite
lively as fish.
Spring has opened, and nature
has lavished her long treasured
mysteries upon field and wood.
Miss Annie Hadnot has opened
public school at Friendship and
been teaching q couple of weeks.
She has A pupils enrolled and u
large attendance.
Although Fishville is situated
three miles from the railroad, we
are not devoid of visitors. All the
surrounding burgs we're literally
represented here the past week.

river, and also went prepared TO
fish. Being young in experience
as we'll as years, they forgot the
lard! And had to roast potatoes
and broil their game couple of
days, and were glad to get back to
| their mammas.
The season is being forced right
along. Mrs. Emmett Walker and
two children, Peal and Robert,
came out to Fishville to enjoy q
few days of fresh air and to break
the ice at our summer resort. It is
rather early, but then there is
nothing impossible for Mrs. Wall
ker, and her pleasant and genial
company was highly appreciate {.
and we hope she will still continue
to lend herself to our vile. She
was the guest of Mrs. Hamilton.
