Superior court jurors are getting hard to
please The juries at this term of court
seem to be spending more time in their de-
liberations upon cases than has been GUS
tomary heretofore. Perhaps it is a good
sign, and they may be getting more care
full of the interests of the community than
they have been heretofore.
Two Juries were locked up for the night
last night, one of which had under consid-
Grafton the case Of Dennis Mitchell, charg-
ed with assault with intent to murder, and
another that of Tiny Butler, charged with
hog stealing. The first case was tried in
the morning and the latter in the after
noon. The state endeavored to show that
Tiny had stolen two young shoats, the
property of Mr.. 7. M. Cunningham, while
Tiny's claim was that the young hogs had
been roofing up his potato patch, and he
penned them up to keep them from de-
stroying his garden The testimony in
the case was very amusing. Both juries
were out at midnight last night, and it

Capt. Jordan F. Brooks of the Savannah
Cadets has decided to withdraw his resig-
nation of the command, notice of which he
gave some time ago, and he will remain at

precative public in general than this an

notified his company that for business rea-
sons he would be compelled to retire from
its command. The announcement was re-
ceived by the company with extreme re-
greet. The soldiers would not give up their
