NEW COURT OPENS
 TODAY AT ENSLEY
JUDGE MANDY WILL PRESIDE AND IT IS EXPECTED THAT MUCH BUSINESS WILL BE TRANSACT ED-oTHER NEWS.

Ensley. December 15.-(Special.) )-The Ensley inferior court will begin work to- morrow morning Between forty and fifty cases are now awaiting to be docketed. Judge c. H. Mandy will preside and John A. Bell, the newly appointed clerk, will be at the desk. The court room will be at the present in the city hall.
 The court was established by an act of the legislature several weeks ago, but owing to some hitch the way for it to be- come operative was not cleared until last week. As soon however, as matters were adjusted. Governor Jelks at once ap- pointed the judge.
 The court was established in lieu of the three justice of peace courts that were in beat 45. As soon as all the justices had rendered their resignations Governor Jelks at once appointed the judge of the court. Last Saturday Judge Mandy re- ceived his appointment. He at once an- nounced the appointment of John A. Bell as clerk. Tomorrow the court will get to work. There was a considerable amount of business done by the justice of peace courts and it is thought that the inferior court will be kept busy all the time.
