vile Case Dismissed

Verdict against the complainant was
given in the quo warranto proceedings
brought by T. A. Langford in the circuit
court, seeking to oust ]. T. Rogers from
the position of mayor of the town OF
Morris. The jury decided that MIR
Rogers was the lawful mayor of the town
and that his election was legal The case
was heard before Judge C. B. Smith If
the circuit court, and went to the jury
shortly before noon yesterday.
The question involved was whether MIR
Langford, who was elected mayor of Nor
ris. had resigned or not, from that office.
His contention was that he had not re-
signed, and that the town council in
electing Mr.. Rogers in his stead had done
so Illegally. The defendants held that
Mr.. Largford had resigned and that the
election of his successor was in accord
anee with the law, view of the case
that was evidently taken by the jury,
judging by the verdict rendered.
Judge c. b. Smith dismissed the peti-
ton directed at the town of Adamsville.

in almost every city in the known
world and in some of the worlds that
are unknown. Their appearance is gen.
orally heralded by calling out the po-

have heard the riot act read so many
times that they have had the words
set to music and it is included in tlleir
