There is no, question but that the
mantle of the Hon. D. H. EbS who
for twelve years presided as Judge
of this judicial circuit, has fallen
upon a woRthy successor. the Hon.
William T.. RagIand,, who convened
the Hannibal court of common
pleas at 1:30' o'clock yesterday after
noon. Judge Ragfand is a gentle
man of commanding appearance,
dignified in his manners and'poiite
and courteous to all, He. had not
been on the bench thirty minutes
yesterday before the attorneys at
the bar realized that he understood
his business and that he would
have order and decorum. Neither
does lie believe in continuing divorce
cases from term to term but insists
that they shall be disposed of when
:. called unless good excuse be shown
i toy. the contrary He dispatches
business rapidly. and:does- not hest
tate in passing upon motions. By
}, his petite and courteous manner he
has already won the respect and
confidence of the bar and of all who
s were present at court yesterday. =

commission of a petty crime which
could not possibly profit him as
