Court i'm Session.
The superior court in session here is
attracting the attention of most of our
citizens this week. An unusually in
teresting docket is before the court.
Quite number of visiting attorneys
are present and their eloquent speech
es are being much enjoyed. Solicitor
John H. Cheney is winning new laur-
I'els for himself in this most important
position. Col. Cheney is a Schley
county product, and is quite favorite
among our people. Courteous, kind
and affable, he numbers his friends by
his acquaintance, all of whom wish
that he may rise to the very highest
pinnacle of success in his chosen pro-
fession.
Judge Littlejohn is dispensing the
duties of his Office in his usual elo-
quent manner We are always glad to
extend to him the hand of welcome to
our city and bespeak for him the con-
fdence of our entire county. Court
will probably last several days longer
The pleasant Indian summer days
that we have been enjoying have given
away to the chillness of winter, and
we realize that another year is draw
ing to a close. Our farmers are ex-
urbent over 16 cents cotton, while the
merchants are rejoicing over their fine
collections. This is indeed a favored
country. If we can adjust the boil
weevil problem, we see nothing but
prosperity ahead. After all, we have
lots for which to be thankful.
