ANCIENT RECORDS IN
COURT OF ORDINARY.
Names Of Many Prominent Men Have Been on
the Minutes Since 1905

An examination of the records of the
Court of Ordinary of Chatham county
discloses the fact that that court is
one of the most ancient and interest
ing, as we'll as one of the most historic
in the country. The records, begin
ming in 1895. are complete to date, COM
prising about the only set of complete
records for the same length of time
in the state.
Another remarkable fact, and one
probably without precedent, is that
within one term of Office -four years.,
five ordinaries have qualified and
served, and the clerk of the Superior
Court has twice taken charge of the
records of the court. This term is the
present one. Though not yet half
finished, six different officers have been
in charge of the office in that time.
Some of the records are very inter-
esting, containing the names of many
distinguished men who have helped to
make the history of the county. A
short history of the Office, showing the
most interesting proceedings and the
officers of the court. will not be with
out interest.
The first case recorded, in 1895, is
that of I.achlan Mcintosh, against
Hartman Courier. it being a suit on
covenant. The witnesses produced
were Elisha Elon, James Whitfield and
William Gale. The verdict Of the Jury
was: I'VE find for the defendant the
sum of ninety-two pounds, AS, 1-2d.
sterling and costs of suit. Henry Put
nam. foreman"
The oldest minute book on file in the
Ordinary's Office commences with the
April term, 1875. Previous records are
believed to be in Atlanta. The court
was then termed the Inferior Court. As
the records do not go back to the Gre
alton OF the Inferior Court, il is inter-
esting to know how the court was
conducted from the Oldest records of
file in that connection.
Following is . copy Of the first rec
ord OF minutes OF file IN the Court of
Ordinary.

One SeIf.Hmprisoned In the Heart OF Block
or Coral

Down at the bottom Of balanced aqua
rum tank. a cylindrical glass jar 10
inches deep by foot in diameter, in the
heart of bunch of brain coral about
the shape of and four times as big as
doorknob, at the New York Aquarium lives
a sef-mprisoned creature whose presence
there was unsuspected for year
When this piece of coral, which was
brought up from Bermuda sonnet hing more
than year ago, was placed on the
bottom of the tank. there was observed
in it, little to one side from the top an
oval-shaped opening about three-eighths
of an inch one way by apuarter of an inch
the other with little spear of some marine
vegetation that looked like the bleached-
out tip Of tiny blade Of grass projecting
across one end OF the opening, underneath
That was all there was to it, so far as APP
pearances went-a little hole in the top
of the coral, with little scrapof sea grass
across the under side of IT,
After the coral was placed in the tank
il remained without sign Of life for a year
Then one day about two weeks ago. at
feeding time, when the food was carried
down through the water on the end of a
slender rod, something within the opening
brushed aside that spear of grass from
across the under side and fairly filled up
the little opening with itself. this something
being the end of a boring mOlusk, which
had been living in there all this time with
