CIRCUIT COURT.
Case of J. r. Mccormick Continue
Until Spring Term-Names OF
Grand Jurors.

AS was stated yesterday, the first
case to have been called for trial in
the circuit court which convened in
this city, was that Of J. r. McCor-
mick, charged with being an accom-
plice in the famous Harper murder
trial, but owing to the fact tnat the
case of DR.. Harper is DOW pending
trial before the supreme court, In
which a trial will come up questions
to be decided before the higher trl-
bunaI identical with those which will
come ND in the tria of Mccormick, it
was deemed iudiciOus to postpone the
case Of Mccormick until the spring
term of court, as by doing this, much
useless argument wili be dispensed
with, the questions being decided by
the precedents established by the SUI
preme court. 1t is now thought that
with this case gone, which would
have consumed fully week in being
tried, the entire docket can be cleared
There were a number Of minor
cases mol pressed. but nothing OF i'm
portance has yet come up.
The grand jury consists OF the fo'-
lowing:

CITY'S BENEFACTOR.
The Far-Seeing for, and Fealty to.
Hattiesburg Shown by Fer
euson, Real Estate Agent.

guson, Real Estate Agent.
With every victory that has come
TO HatFiesburg the past seven years,
the name of T. M. Ferguson if not
directly, is at least indirectly en-
twined with it. When he first threw
his banner to the breezes hsre-a
white pine board, bearing the letters
made with brush and common mark
ing ink, the words 'T. NJ. Ferguson,
Real Estate Agent, many laughed at
the idea of his venture with the same
derision they would a lightning rod
agent. But how is it with some of
those same people today? many of
whom have grown wealthy through
business dealings with him (none
having ever gotten the worst OF a
deal), while Ferguson has prospered
himself and could buy and sell a
dozen times many who at first took
pleasure in viewing his venture with
suspicion and throwing cold water
OH every attempt made by him to
boost the city. To sum it up, it has
been a case of Ferguson out-general-
ing them ala piece of far-seeing on
his part with ont a precedent, for seven
years ago when Hattiesburg was in
embryo he told what Hattiesburg
seven years hence" would be, "a
city fuslfiedged, and today as he
told it then, we see t.
Hattiesburg should never forget T.
