TWO CASES TRIED.
County Court Holds Uninteresting
SessiOn-Many Cases to Be Heard.

SessiOn-Many Cases to BE Heard.
But little business was transacted
in the County Court Tuesday, there
being only two cases for the consid
GRAFTON of the judges, so that the day
passed quite slowly to the officers
and attendants who were required to
be present. Judge Waterman and As
sistant Judges Wells and Clapp re-
manned in the judges room during
the morning but nothing was ready
for them to try until the opening
session of the afternoon. This was
the divorce case of Minnie E. San
ford against Arthur Sanford, of Co.
rinth. The plaintiff claimed intoler-
able severity. John H. Senter ap-
peared for Minnie Sanford and he
brought out the facts that the re-
spondent had been brought into
court and fined $50 for beating his
wife and that he had not given any
thing toward her support for three
years. The Court granted the bill.
The only other business of the day
came late in the afternoon when in
accordance with the order of the SUI
preme Court in the case of Dilling-
ham VS.. G. E. Moody, the former be-
ing administrator, Judge q. S. Stan
ton was appointed master. There are
some forty cases to be tried but they
have not yet been brought into Court
because the attorneys were not ready.

Postmaster Davis feels very CRATE
full to those who assisted in caring
for the office property on the morn
ing of the fire, it seems almost impos-
sible that so much could be so hastily
removed with so little damage and
practically no loss of mail, stock or
important records. The temporary
quarters for the office is in the front
room of Postmaster Davis residence,
and is furnished with the general de-
livery and money order windows and
one screen containing call and lock
boxes. The rural carriers tables
have been placed in the work room
and although the quarters are small,
all that can be done at present for
public convenience and care of the
mail seems to have been provided
and arranged. While many convent
ences heretofore enjoyed will be miss
ed by the patrons of the office it may
be borne in mind that the office force
feels the cramped condition of affairs
the worst and with what patience we
may await what changes such ar
rangements may provide, hoping that
they will be such as to fully restore
the accredited rating previous to the
fire.
