County of Warner

Manchester, the Logical
County Seat-County Will
Have 10000 Population;
$1,750,000 Taxable Values:
Area Over 222 Square
Miles.
The people situated in the
southeastern portion of Mer-
iwether, northern portion of
Talbot and northeastern
portion of Harris Counties
will petition the 1913 ses-
sion of the Legislature to
create a new county to be
named Warner, in honor of
the late Chief Justice Hiram
Warner, the area of which
will be 222 square miles,
while the area of the old
counties after the proposed
county of Warner is created
will not be materially re-
duced, but will leave them
among the larger counties of
Middle Georgia, and Meri-
wether will then contain 421
square miles; Harris, 400
square miles, and Talbot,
329 square miles. The ter
ritOry to compose Warner
County is inaccessible to
either of the present county
sites by railroads and in
transacting legal business
the citizens are required to
go this distance by private
conveyance over mountain
Gus roads, which in rainy
seasons are almost impas-
sable; while a very large
portion of the population
has no means of conveyance
and are forced to a great
expense in reaching the
present county sites.
Taxable Values of New
County.
The proposed county of
Warner viii have taxable
values of one and three
quarter million dollars. This
will leave Meriwether tax
able values of about twice
the amount of Warner Coun-
ty; while Harris and Talbot.
from which counties small
values will be taken, will not
be materially reduced, but
have considerably more
wealth than Warner and no
incorporated town is to be
taken from either Talbot or
Harris and but a few miles
of railroad.
The population of Warner
County will be upward of
10000, Of which more than
1000 live in Manchester,
the proposed county seat. At
least 5000 of those living
within the country territory
closely adjoining Manches-
ter have to travel IA to 20
miles to their present re
spective county sites. War
ner County would exceed in
population 81 counties in the
State.
Roads and Bridges.
Warner County as proposed will
take from the three affected
counties its proportion of roads
and bridges as compared to its
area and wealth, while the roads
and bridges in this territory have
received but little attention, as
the taxes collected by the old
counties have been spent on 9TH
er roads and bridges nearer the
present county sites. and other
sections of the counties, since
this territory occupies the re
mote corners" consequently has
had little influence in securing

DECISIONS AND FINDINGS
 BY JUDGE WALLER.
Handed Down Thursday in Common
 Pleas Court.

Two decisions and two findings were handed down on Thursday by Judge Charles B. Waller on cases recently tried in the court of common pleas. Clerk Averill received the papers late Thursday.
 In the case of William w Ives, trus- tee vs. John W. Manwaring, IT,, and others, judgment is given for the de- fendants. This was a suit brought by Mr. Ives as trustee of the bankrupt estate of the late Charles F. Lilli- bridge to recover the sum of $1, ,580 for which Lillibridge sold two automobiles to Man~aring and L. B. Crockett in November, 1911. with an understanding that the money was to be a loan and he might repurchase the machines in a day or two, or within a reasonable time. This he never did. but the de- fendants subsequently, sold the two machines, it was alleged. for $2.500 all together. The judge ruled that this transaction was a bona fide one and that the purchasers apparently took the chances of the trade and that the tender of the money made by the trus- tee to recover the automobiles was not made within a reasonable time.
 In the suit of Emma Shanley vs. Annie NJ Dyer, both of Norwich judg- nent is given for the plaintiff and a injunction is ordered to is- sue against the continuance of the structure in the form Of 8 fence be- tween the lands of, the parties. Nomi- Iatil damages or $l anu +ccStS are 10 De recovered.
 In the trial of the case. which in- volved the erection of a structure which one side called a fence and the other a building, it was claimed that 1t was erected out of spite between property of the principals, who are residents on Hedge avenue, East Side, living at No 30 and No. 32, respective 1y.
 In city of New London vs. stephen N. Perkins. who is tax collector of Groton, the judge filed findings Notice of appeal has been given in this case, where the Judgment was in favor of the plantiff. The suit is over the property in Groton used as ferry landing, which the tax collector de-. sired to sell for non- payment of tax es. The city of New Lendon makes the claim that the property is exempt from taxes.
 Findings were also filed in sfate of Connecticut vE. Nellie Nj. Main Of Preston and Samuel [. Hoidr.dge of Ledyafd, in which notice has been sfv- en of appeal from the courts decision in favor of the plaintiff. The suit is brought for an account of the sum of e257.76 interest on a trust fund of q, ,000 fer the benefit of Ernest Ma thaniei Main under the will of Seth Main. Nellie N. Main is trustee of the fund and Samuel E. Hoidridge is ex- ecHter Of the will of Gath Main.
 The next session of the common pleas court is to be held in this city at p. m. on Monday. Jan. 13.

Mayor of Old Norwich, Eng, Breaks a
 Lance with Conventions.

The stand against wedding presents taken py the new l6rd mayor of Nef- ~ich, Eng Arthur M. Samuel was Successful until the end-even en his wedding day. A repoftef of the Daily Mirror saw MT. Samuel just before he was married to Miss Phoebe Fletcher, daughter of pr. A. Chute Fletcher, the resident medical officer at Charter house, and found that he had ste6d to his guns In the matter Of presents in heroic fashion.
 Mt. Satnuel, who. at s9, Is one of the youngest lord mayors on record, re- gently expressed his determination not to receive any wedding presents, with the exception Of two which he could
 not possibly avoid. These we're d public fund raised at Manchester for the painting of MT. Samuers portrait by royal academician, and a pres entation. from the Norwich corporal tion and citizens.
 Ass Tt s has been a bit of a fight" said MT. Samuel, yesterday. Tt is very hard to break a lance with eonven- tion,. but I have been very firm.
 This present-giving at wedding is altogether outgrowing reasonable di- dons as serious protest against social evil IL is q tax upon the prf- VatS resources of ones friends, and the imposition should cease. Also people not infrequently hesitate to ask their friends to a wedding because the Invitation will at once be regarded by the recipient as involving the giving of present
 The people who are going to marry really desire their friends to assist in celebrating a joyous occasion for friendships sake, and not for the quantity and quality of the presents they may get out of them I honestly hold that If wedding presents are given at all, they should be given by bride and bridegroom to their friends to celebrate the happy occasion. rather than the other way about. I should like to add that my wife is entirely of my opinion"
