During the recent term of circuit
court many cases never came to trial.
They we're either settled or dismissed.
Although the calendar was an unusually
long one it fell to pieces under the guild
ance of Judge O'Neill and the tax pay
ers of Sank County were saved much
money. The jury cases were short an
so arranged that the cost was very
slight. 1t is a rule of Judge O'Neill to
ask litigants to.settle their:differences if
possible, there being no loss to the at
torneys and much time saved. Often
those on the opposite sides of the case
fell much better than if they had gone
through the trial, which is all for the
good of the community.

SOME BEAR STORY

Mr.. Folks, who has a large corn
field out about three miles from the
city has been troubled a great deal
lately with a bear which has been
getting In his corn and doing consid-
cradle damage to the crop. Last
night, Mr.. Folks invited some friends
out to help him Kill the bar. Arriv-
ing on the scene about 8 o'clock the
party went down to the field and took
their positions in a drizzling rain to
wait the approach of Mr.. Bear. They
did not have long to wait before they
heard him breaking down corn near
the swamp. Two of the party work
cd around him on their all-fours in
order to get between him and the
swamp. After giving them plenty of
time to get into position, the others
began closing in on the bear. He could
he seen tearing down a stalk of corn
and not paying any attention to the
hunters. After getting about ten
yards from him the command, ready
was given and all took good aim and
when the word fire was called out by
Young Blalock, all pulled the trigger
and put four loads of buckshot into
Mr.. Bear. The result was big black
hog granted, turned and charged the
bunch and some Marathon was done
by the bear hunters.
Mr.. Folks says they tore up more
corn rafreatipO than the hear xror1If
have torn up in a week or two.
