be done with dollars and printer S
ink. This firm carries a stock of
goods that is not surpassed by any

CRIMINAL CASES
Eleven of Them Decided by the

The criminal term of the circuit
court opened last Monday and from
the cases disposed of it is proof con-
elusive that every officer has done his
duty. Judge A, McC, Kimbrough is
dubbed the farmer judge" by the
members of the bar because he opens
court at 8 80 in the morning, an hour
earlier than the pleaders and prose-
cutors have been in the habit of
rising, But this makes no difference
with the judge. He and his officers
are ways on time and, of course, so
is the bar. Below are the cases dis
posed of up to yesterday:
