Judge Patterson May
Resign.

1t is whispered among the
friends of Judge Patterson that
he will tender his resignation as
Judge in the near future. He is
a good man, and one that the
whole people love, q good jurist,
and one whose justice has never
been questioned. The necessity
of his retiring from public life is
to be regretted, but his health is
failing him, and thus he is forced
to retire. His successor comes
as the next question to present
the people of the circuit. Among
the good men to aspire for this
situation, Savannah has an able
and acquitted man, in the person
of Mr.. d. w. Broyles, that she to-
gether with the whole county and
many other sections of the cir
cult, would like to see honored.
He has held the courts of several
counties in the circuit, and has
given entire satisfaction, even
among his opponents, for the
place to be made vacant. We
think the friends of Judge Broy.
les should be looking after his in.
terest, and not leave a stone I'M.
turned.
