JUDGE WITT

Caught Many Great Fish, and Is
Ready Now for the
Criminals.

Judge Witt. of the Hastings Court,
has returned to the city from Bath
county. where he had more or less
luck with his trusty fishing rod ct
Nimrod Hall. Most OF the time he
was there the rains descended, and
frequently he was soaked but that
did not disturb his equilibrium or in
.terfere with the sport. Just how many
fish he captured is not part of the
court record. but he broke some of
his former records, and returned with
a fine coat of tan.
Clerk Walter Christian will return
within the next few days. The Septem-
Der term of the court begins on Fri
day next at which time the grand
jury will be sworn. The most impor-
tant work before 1t will concern the
Investigation OF the city Home wood
scandal. Otherwise, the docket Is
about ordinary.
Deputy Clerk Lawton Crutchfeld
will retire on October 1st to engage
in the real estate business, and Mr..
Breeder. his successor, will qualify ON
that date.
