agreement of the attorneys there
will be no jury cases tried at this
1 term of court, but vast amount OF
business had been transacted up to
= Wednesday morning, an unusual
number of cases having been settled
and disposed of. 1t was thought that
all of the business ready for the
court would be disposed of by We'd
nesday noon and the court expected
to adjourn until next Monday in

cases against them we're dismissed:
Most of the permits had only short
time to run before they expired and
rather than go to the expense of
fighting the cases the druggists
agreed to surrender their permits,
and Decatur county is now dry
county, there not being any person
in the county authorized to sell in
toxicating liquor. The case against
John Fulton was dismissed at the
