JudQ A. Nice kimbrough and Dis

for the new year by trying to run
their court by the Southen Railway
trains. a road whose trains have not
been on time for the past twenty
days
We cannot blame these two gentle
men for wanting to remain at their
homes as long as possible, in fact we
would not have blamed them, nor
would anyone else, for postponing
their court until Tuesday and enjoyed
New Years day with their families, as
they could have done.
But since they had announced the
fact that their court would open or
Monday and forced every juror and
witness to be on hand, and the furtheA
fact that the able judge has often, III

the sheriff to fine, that he did not run
his court by the trains" the judge
