That Delayed Decision.
In referring to the long continued
neglect of Judge Benet to decide the
case of J. B. Johnson and others against
Robert Bratton and others, the repor-
ter stated that D. E. Finley, Esq,
represented one side and w. w. Lewis,
ESQ.,, the other. His attention has
Leen called to the fact that w. B. Will
son, Esq, is on one side, and D. E.
Finley and w. W. Lewis, Esqs., on
the other. The statement, however,
that Judge Benet has had the papers
since November, 1897, is correct, and
the litigants are anxious for settle
ment.
Lemon Hedgerows.
Major James F. Hart has been ex.
perimenting for five or six years with
a hedge-tree, from which he expects
good results in this country. The tree
is species of lemon. The limbs are
strong and closely woven together, and
the major says that with an even start
from the seed, in six years he can pro-
duce a hedge of not more than three
feet in thickness that he would be will
ling to guarantee as "horse high, pig
tight and bull strong" He thinks that
the introduction of the hedge idea in
this country would be of much general
benefit.
