Circuit Court--An Interesting I'm
yelling Ceremony.


yelling Ceremony.
HEATHSvILLE, VA. March H.-(Spe-
cial.)-The regular March term Of our
Circuit Court began at this place this
week. with Judge T. r. b. Wright on
the bench The suit OF II. Il. Shrimp
against the Everetts Neck Land Com
pany was continued TO the next term
owing to certain errors In the declara-
ton set forth by the plaintiff. After q
good deal Of delay, the court has finally
gotten a start In the SANDER suit OF
Thrift vs.. Blackwell, in which there Is
a great deal In interest and feeling mani
tested. This suit grew out OF a diff
Guilty which commenced In the fall or
1894 between the defendant. blackwell,
and the plaintiff, who was then school
trustee in which difficulty. the plaintln
alleges, slanderous charges were MADE
against him. The difficulty was renewed
in the following May and was followed
UP with a fistlcuff fight during which the
slanderous charges are said 10 have been
repeated.
THE CHARGES.
The sisnderous charges that are alleged
10 have been made are to the effect that
Thrift was dishonest and on account OF
his dishonesty had to leave the county
in which he resided. Both OF the parties
to the suit are very prominent citizens OF
Wicomico District. and there Is good
deal OF bitter feeling In the matter
There are a great many witnesses TO be
examined on both sides and they COM
prise some OF the best citizens Of our
county and Westmoreand. The plaintiff
is ably represented by Messrs. Mayo &
Mayo, Howard Hathaway, and w. w.
Walker, while Commonwealth's-Att
Smith represents the defendant. Tho
plaintiG has been on the stand since the
beginning OF the trial and has not yet
finished his evidence.
INTERESTING CEREMONY.
Some time ago, at the suggestion OF
Judge Wright, portraits Of some OF our
former and Of our present judges and
clerks were presented To the county
to be hung upon the walls OF the court
room. On last Wednesday the Court
gave an opportunity for very inte-
resting and entertaining unwilling cere-
mony to take place. The portraits OF
Judges John c. Ewell, Edwin Brown,
and Samuel Downing, and OF County
Court-Clerk Fleming Bates, who served
