well as large number in other parts of

that Judge Fish will make good in his
new position.
The dockets for the coming term have
been issued. On the general civil
docket there are SO cases, on the
chancery docket ID cases, on the di-
vorce docket IA cases, and on the crimi-
nal calendar there are 81 cases. The
criminal cases are for the most part old
ones which have been disposed of in
court and which are still held on the
docket for the reason that many of the
respondents are now in the charge of
the county probation officer. There are

quence in sight and it is not probable
that anything will arise before the close

out of. On the court calendar there
