the charge of stealing sheep and the

failed to enter his appearance, and
the suit was dismissed. However,

superior court bench will expire with
his present term, and although he
was out of the city yesterday and his
probable action in the matter could
not be ascertained, it Is likely that
he will resign in time to assume the
new position with the railroad. This
will leave a vacancy on the superior
court bench temporarily, unless sup

Judge Reid is also a candidate for
the lower house of the state legisla-
ture on the Republican ticket.
Judge Reid was generally regarded
as almost certain of being made speak

Back From His Summer Vacation.

Mr., G. A. Vlsanska, and his daughter MISS
Belle Visauska, are home again, alter b
months rest. They went to Mt. Clemens
some p miles from Detroit, and there spent
most of their time. When coming home they
stopped at C%incinnatti, and among other
trips, they went on the incline railroad 10
the Walnut Hills. They stopped at Cnatta-
nooga and went up incline railroad TO the TOP
of Lookout Mountain. When this editor
moved around Chattanooga, be went on the
peoples line, afoot. But Mr.. Visanska and
Miss Belle went up the incline railroad which
he saws is so straight up that 1t leans over a
little. When 1t leaned over Mr.. Visanska
held &c the seat. In case the thing had orok'
en- loose he expected to be torn to pieces and
thought the inquest would have to be held In
several different townships. On top OF the
mountain Mr.. Visanska and Miss Belle saw
the 500, 900 monument to the Union dead, and
they looked over the precipice and saw the
winding Tennessee which bathed the foot OF
the mountain, and along which great trains
of cars moved as II they were toys. Mr.. W.
sapska was not 30 much struck with the
Lookout. He had seen other mountains. He
ia improved In health, and We hope that so
public spirited q citizen may live q hundred

Doubtless every scene in this play has had
q parallel In actual events Immediately sue

scenes which q peaceful people have stamped
ont and put behind them forever. The white
race has assumed It's normal position In con-
troll OF the State and the negro race has
quietly accepted the domination OF the su-
perior race and have gone to work In good
spirit, In their humber sphere, to contribute
TO general prosperity.
The State Is still dependent on the negro fol

conditions is against the public good. No
