Judge Sauter has notified the local
attorneys t. at no court cases will be
called during the term which opens here
on the 10Th inst. This will mean a
great saving of expense to lligants
where no jury trial is required In the
past tnesses, as we'll as the attorneys
and others interested in court cases,
found it necessary to remain here week
or ten days awaiting the disposal of jury
cases not knowing what time their case
might be called for trial. The Judge
will likely return about the middle of
January and hear what court cases
may be ready for trial. With this change
in the calendar it is likely that an adj
journment of the fail term may be reach
ed on Saturday, the 9th Christmas, eve.
