Judge j. r. Byrd came over Monday
morning, opened court, made q, few
allowances and adjourned until first
Monday in November. The May term
was pretermitted at the request OF the
board Of supervisors and the local bar
in order that the farmers might not
lose any more time from their crops
than possible, as farming operations
are already greatly delayed on ao.,
count of the continued rains. We
believe that Judge Byrd's pretermit-
tance of the court will be appreciated
by the people.

shocked by lightning Tuesday evening
during the electrical storm
The lightning entered the house
on the telephone wire, and
literally tore up things in it's path !.
The telephone was torn to pieces, the
silver on the mirrors was burned off,
the paper on the wall torn down and
many other articles in the house were
affected. Mrs. Martin and infant,
and little charlie Martin, were sitting
in Mrs. Martin 8 room when the shock
was received, and for time IL was
thought that Mrs. Martin and Charlie
were both badly injured, but .
physician was hurriedly summoned
and they were restored to their normal
condition after several hours work.
This makes three times that lightning
has struck this telephone line and
wrought damage in the Martin home.
