AS was predicted by the DEMOCRAT
STAR last Friday, this spring term Of
the Circuit Court was the most sensa-
tional in the history Of the county. 1t
made lasting impression on some
people.
Messrs. M. Ashcraft and Robert F.
Seymour, who have been confined in
the Jail of Harrison county for some
weeks, charged with assisting in the
lynching of John Knox, were released
last Wednesday, the grand jury having
failed to find true bills against them.
They are free and happy as the spring
birds.
1t is to be hoped that Superintendent
Chas. Marshall, of the L. 4 N, will find
1t to the advantage Of the road to ad-
vance the time for the starting Of the
Mobile and Biloxi accommodation train
to the first of June, instead Of July. In
dications are that it may pay to do so,
and assist in attracting visitors to the
gulf resorts.

The town Of Kosciusko has passed thu
curfew ordinance, requiring all children
