That he 10 dead-he 10 just awayi
With CHEEKY smile. and wave OF the hand,
He has wandered into an unknown land,
And left No dreaming how very fair
Il needs must be since he fingers there.
And you-O you, who the widest yearn
For the old time step, and the glad return
Think of him, faring on, as dear
In the love Of There, as the love OF Here.
Think Of him still, as the same, say,
He IL not dead-he Is just away"

March Term, 1915.

More than the usual amount OF busi-
ness In the line of actual trials has
marked the proceedings of the first week
ofcourt. From Tuesday afternoon up
to adjournment Saturday, the court was
kept continuously busy with the hearing
of civil cases by the jury.
However, these cases for actual trial
number only five, out Of trial list of
nearly forty made up at the call of the
docket on the opening day Of the term.
There are no more civil cases for jury
trial, and after certain matters assis ned
to Monday are cleaned up. 1t is expected
that work on the criminal docket will
begin Tuesday morning. 1t is under
stood that there will be Q number Of
criminal trials, which may take up some
days. time.
The most important case of the term
will be the trial of Patrick J. Harrington
of Marlboro, Mass. who is indicted for
the murder of Thomas E. Preece In the
town Of Sumner on the 7th OF November,
1914. Details of this affair are more or
less familiar to the public.
The day for the opening of this trial
has not yet been definitely fixed, but
probably will be by Tuesday morning.
Present indications are that 1t will not
open until the last of this week, possibly
not until the first of next week.

years, drsgs It's slow length along for
many hours or days, and even II 1t may

After this case, which babe fair to be
prolonged, had occupied q portion OF

from the jury and some disposition of 1t
was made between the parties.
The court then, at about II O'Clock

Al last some lights, even II temporary
ones, have been placed at the court
house steps, and it is now much safer
for people over twenty five years of age
TO come down from the court room after
sunset. The new lights are mere globes
set on the end of pipe standards, and
connected by overhead wires like the
antennae Of wireless telegraph station,
but there is a rumor that they will some
time be replaced by permanent lights
with concealed wires.
