Circuit Court.

The term of Circuit Court which
closed here last Saturday was one
of the busiest ever held i'm the
County. Although the days were
long and warm, every night saw
the Court i'm session aS.il late
hour, and the docket was consider
ably reduced.
Judge Harrison's robust health
and his desire 10 expedite court
matters as much as possible worked
very decided advantage i'm the
handling of the eases.
In the case Of John Jones. who
was ON trial charged with the
burning of the barn and stable of
Mr.. Clay Carr, the jury returned
verdict of guilty and set the pun
ishment at nine years in the peni-
tertiary.
\ motion was made for new
trial, but Judge Harrison refused
10 grant the plea, but granted a
stay of proceedings for ninety
days in order that the defense
could apply to the Supreme Court
of Appeals for writ of error.
In the case Of George Young, on
trial for highway robbery, the jury
returned a verdict of guilty and
set the punishment at four years
in the penitentiary.
One of the greatest disappoint-
mentS of the Term was the inabili-
ty to get the Bridge Case TO
hearing. As we understand the
matter, there are a number of inn
portant depOsitions yet TO be taken
before the case can be heard. 1t is
the general hope that the matter
viii be taken up in vacation.
\ very small number of Chan
Gerry Cases was taken up at this
term, for the reason that the Grim
inal docket occupied the full atten-
tion of the Court.
In the case of Bowles and Jones
". Wall, suit growing out of the
alleged violation of contract. the
Jury was unable to agree.
\ suit was filed against the \.
& w. Railway Company by Ethel
Mcdonald, administrators of her
husband, claiming damages in the
sum of $4,000. This suit arose
from the death of Mr.. Mcdonald.

trains of the railway company.

while the crew were engaged i'm

the hook which was being used to

Strengthened and flew ont with
great force, striking Mcdonald i'm
the back of the head and produc-
ing almost instant death. The
Court took the case under consid-
Grafton and will render decision
in vacation.
Il. II. Frazier filed suit against
the n. & w. Railway Company
Tor damages caused by the wrong
shipment of load of cattle. The
cattle should have been shipped to
one point, but, it is claimed, the
agent of the Company misdirected
the car.
In the matter of Superintendent
of the Poor Farm. Peter Fuqua
was appointed to fill the vacancy.
MIR. Fuqua has been holding the
position for the past seventeen
Years, but the claim was made
some time ago that the Office was
vacant because he had not given
bond. The Court held this point
well taken, and appointed Mr..
Fuqua to the vacancy.

openwork stockings have had their day.
They are Dismal Swamp, dirt cbesp this

not even half conceal q woman's ankles.
And nothing makes the ankle look 90 trim

a wedding ring. A little hand embroidery
is permissible. but nothing else in the way
