probable that the session of the pres

as the majority of the cases set for trial
have been disposed of and cleared from
the docket. A number of cases were
heard by the court without the inter
ventlon of jury.
The criminal docket which will be
taken up next week, will be very heavy,
as there are over one hundred INSIDE
meanor cases now on the docket, and
some of them being Jail cases, every
effort will be made to bring them to
trial at this term.
There are few gaming cases on the
docket, but not SO many as at last term
of the court, quite number of the de-
PENDANTS in these cases have come for
ward, plead guilty, and contributed to
the general welfare by paying their
fines.
