CHANCERY COURT
TERM PRETERMITTED
Chancellor Cntrer Decides That Be
cause Of Influenza II Is Best to
Have No Court.

Chancellor Cutrer has notified
Chancery Clerk Morehead that there
will be no chancery court next Mon
day. The first Monday in Novem-
Der is the date for holding the fall
term Of court, but the outbreak Of
influenza caused the chancellor to
pretermit the term this year.
Chancery court is now very small
affair The business OF each term
is usually disposed Of in two days.
In fact, we have but little business
for either chancery or circuit court
The criminal business is almost neg
ligible, and litigation OF all kinds Is
decidedly small.
