Four Hours,

famous and she certainly deserves it.

amounts to practically nothing Jan
uary term OF court opened Monday at
l. o'clock, the grand jury completed
its work within four hours and went
home, and the entire business of the
criminal court was disposed of by
Tuesday noon, and petit juors were
discharged. But two cases, and these
of small Importance, were tried
namely, Com. VS.. Alex. Davidson and
Com. vs.. Ollie Rogers. Both were for
assault and battery and both men
were acquitted, the prosecutor and
defendants each to pay half the costs.
Certainly this is a good record and the
taxpayers are not sorry for it.-Way-
