One of the busiest places in
the City row is the machine
and repair shop of Messrs.
Knight * Caldwell in upper
Main Street. 1t is fast gaining
a reputation for good work in
its line that is bringing much
trade from elsewhere and with
the recent Improvements and
facilities it will no doub: be one
of the most important establish
ments OF its kind in this sec
ton.
Very probably there is no es-
tabIisbment anywhere within 400
miles that is so well fitted for
the repair of automobiles and
machines are found there from
all sectio ms, each to have some
part replaced or some irregular
ity rectifed. Tuesday there
were several machines there, two
from St. Martinvllle and one OF
them car that cost about
81, 900 when new.
Only recently the shop has
put in a brass furnace SO that it
is prepared now TO make all
kinds of castings in that com
position. This is the only brass
furnace in this section and will
save a great deal of time to those
who need fittings that heretofore
could not be found outside OF
the big cities.

East Durham Drug Company Attached
~ Other Cases Decided.

Civil cases, and many of these
small affairs, were the principal
matters of interest about the
office of justices ofthe peace We'd
nesday. Several cases were start
led, however, that will eventually
get into the higher court for settle
m mt.
The creditors are busy getting
in their claims against the de-
funct East Durham Drug COM
pany. This company was closed
on a claim of $l48,12 by the
Yearly Drug company, and then
followed a small claim by P. w.
Vaughan, druggist. These claims
are tackled on the door of the
drug store, or rather the notices
of attachment are there. There
was no one on whom service
could be secured, as the manager
and proprietor of the business
skipped away to another part of
the state before he could be Sc
cured. Now the business is ad-
vertised for sale and all that is
waiting is for the legal time
limit.
One case that occupied consid-
cradle time in trial and was rath-
er interesting for a while was
that of ]. c. and M. w. Kearnev.
trading as Kearney & Son,
against June Peoples. They sued
out a claim and delivery paper
for a carriage, When the hear
ing came on the plaintiffs being
allowed a simple. judgment
against Peoples, The defendant
gave notice of appeal to the high
er court.
w. C. Bramham, administrator
of the late W. w. Ellington,
sued out a claim and delivery
against Lindsey Faucette for
hogs.
The Lunsford Horse and Mule
company has secured judgment
against the Seaboard Air Line
Railway company in the sum of
lSlzz2s.77o This was due on cor 9..
tract for failure to transport
safely one horse. The judgment
was given and appeal was taken
to the higher court:
