The warm sunny weather for the
last few days is doubly welcome after
such a long and unprecedented cold |
spell for this latitude. This record
breaker must not be construed by |
those contemplating locating amongst |
us as criterion by which to Judge
our winter. We are native of this |
country and never remember to have
seen SO severe and protracted spell OF
weather. Let us hope now spring |
work can be commenced in earnest.
Chancery Court will convene here
next Monday, February rs. This |
Court being one of equity and tutelage
In many of the counties in the state
the Circuit Courts have not met, the
people petitioning the Judges not to
hold the Courts. Wherever this can be
done by reason of want of criminal
cases or when they are bonded and of
minor gravity, the county escapes a
great expense. When will Madison's
time come to swell the list?
