CHANCERY COURT IN SESSION
Judge Wallace Begins March
Term at Court House.


Members of County Bar Adopt Resolutions
Complimentary to Judge Samuel
Frauenthal.
The March term of the Faulk-
ner chancery court began its ses-
sion at the court house this morn
ing, Chancellor J. G. Wallace
presiding and Clerk A. M. Led
better and Sheriff w. M. Brady in
attendance.
The docket is one of the largest
ever before a term of chancery,
there being 80 cases listed for dis
posal. 1t is stated, however, that
only few of these cases will be
contested, and several will be con-
tinued, SO that the court will prob
ably complete its labors within
few days.
Little was done in the court this
morning aside from sounding the
docket, filing answers and entering
formal motions in the various cas-
eS.
Bar Praises Frauenshal.
AS this is the first session of a
court in this county since the ap-
pointment of Judge Samuel Frau
enthal to be associate justice of the
supreme court, the members of the
bar in this county took occasion to
adopt resolutions expressing their
appreciation of the appointment.
Col. G. w Bruce presided over
the meeting of the bar, and aps
pointed Geo. w. Clark, J. 7. Harp
er and 1. NJ. Campbell as COM
mittee to draft suitable resolutions.
On the presentation of the resolu-
tions, short addresses were made
by nearly every member of the bar
present, eulogizing Judge Frauen-
thai, and endorsing his appoint
ment. Chancellor Wallace also
made a short address, in which
he praised Judge Frauenthal
as a lawyer and as man,
and stated that there was no one in
the state whose opinion on legal
matter would be more highly re-
spected by him than Judge Frauen-
thal's. Judge Wallace unqualified
ly endorsed the appointment of
Judge Frauenthal, and stated he
thought it would be unfair for Mr..
Frauenthal to have any opposition
for the place at the coming cleo
ton.
On the convening of court the
resolutions were presented in open
court and ordered spread on the
record.
The resolutions, which were unan-
imously adopted, are as follows:

w. Donaghey has seen fit to ap-
point Hon. Samuel Frauenthal

court of Arkansas, to fill the va
cancy caused by the promotion of

court;

probation of the wisdom shown by
