There is no doubt, however, but
that this case will go over to the next

will scarcely draw another jury at this
late date for the trial of single case.
With the finish of court business
here the entire calendar of the South
western circuit is completed and
Judge LittleJohn will very soon go
away to north Georgia for his summer
vacation for which he stands greatly
in need after the arduous and trying
duties upon the bench. But even
there he will be kept busy coming

the bar will be examined this morning,
this being the date designated for
such examinations. There are no To-
