FORDYCE.

FOrdyce, June 19-The docket of
circuit court was short this term, but
may be more extensive next time.
The case in which the town of Far
dyce is suing the Cotton Belt Rail-
way company for crossing was con-
tinued, and change of venue was
taken to Cleveland county. Rufus
Johnston, who was under indictment
for whipping Mrs. Simons, failed to
appear and E. L. KOonce, who was
on his bond, had to fork over $3.50.
The case of the Cleveland County
bank against E. l.. Koonce for dam
ages was on trial yesterday, but we
have not learned the result at this
writing 1t seems that koonce built the
house that the bank is in and that
the roof leaked badly last winted dur
ing a heavy snow and caused con-
siderable damage. Koonce claimed
that any roof would have leaked dur
ing such a snow Two or three other
cases of minor Importance were tried,
and it was thought that the petit
jury would be discharged yesterday,
but the grand jury seems to have
considerable work ahead
G. T. Skies has accepted posi-
tion with the Southern Grocer COM

Mr.. Shaw, engineer In char.a of
the surveyors north of town, was
in Fordyce Saturday looking for some
men to help him. Some of his men
have been sick and had to go home.
When asked if he had any idea when
the company would begin work on
the road he said he had none, and
did not wish to be quoted as author
