about it. and though it was hard for

FIRST week OF SESSION
COMES TO A Finish
Few Cases Of Importance in
Local Court

While a large number of cases have
been cleared from the superior court
docket during the current week, few
OF these were of general public inter-
est, and the session thus far has been
rather uninteresting except to attor-
neys and parties called here upon bus
mess before that tribunal.
The case of Smith versus Hinkle,
tried on Wednesday, held the jury
out over Thanksgiving day and then
resulted in a mistrial This is the
third time the case has been tried be-
ore this court
The grand jury came back yestar-
day and got down to business after
the holiday recess Several indict-
ments in murder and other felony
cases have been returned already,
and there will be plenty of criminal
guest for the judicial mill when that
docket is called for trial next week.
And in the meantime the blind tt
gers have taken to the woods in real
alarm

forecasters are not in vain. For It has
been announced from the Weather
mans sanctum that the cold wave is
on the wane.
The record cold of the season was
reached Wednesday night, when the
mercury almost lost itself going down
having reached the "skiddoo" of 2S
degrees Though it did not go as
low Thursday night. it was still safe
ly below the freezing point, which is
going some for November.
Another heavy frost is predicted for
this morning, accompanied by freezing
temperatures, but the moderation in
the weather should continue during
the day having begun yesterday. SHY
ering Americus. young and Old, great
and small, will be grateful for the
change.
The cold wave has made but little
movement in the past 4S hours anI
still affects all the southern and west
ern portions of the country Temper
atures were below freezing again yes
terday throughout Georgia and were
as low as ,26 degrees at Macon and
Atlanta and 80 degrees at Augusta
! and Savannah. Temperatures are
rising slightly from Texas to the
lakes an the wave shows a tendency
lto break along that line. It's main
portion still covers the plateau re-
region of the west Some cloudiness
1 prevails over the lake region ana,
northeastern states. but as yet no
precipitation is noted; generally fair
weather covers other sections. Fair
and slightly warmer weather is ex-
pected in Georgia, Saturday.

SUMTER is LEADING in
NUMBER OF LICENSES
Hunters Are Eager to Secure
Permits

Americus sportsman and those of
the county at large are showing up
in greater strength, proportion to pop
ulation, than those of any county
in the state. Up to yesterday, Decem-
her 1st, Game Warden McMath had
issued total of 225 licenses to gum
ners here. These included both the
county and state licenses, the latter,
costing SO, according one privilege
of shooting game in any county in the
state. The, fact that such a large
of licenses to hunt have been
issued in Sumter county would appear
to indicate the intention of sportsmen
to keep within the law The fact
that not a case OF killing birds out
of season was reported here bears
testimony to that end. The season
for shooting partridges and doves op-
ened yesterday, however, and the gun
ners can now shoot ad libitum during
the next three months. re

sents. Mr.. Jackson will speak at both
the morning and evening services in
order to make known briefly the work
which the Juvenile Protective Associ-
alton is doing in the state.
The work of the Association, though

it supports, are briefly stated as fol-
