Err THAN HAVE THE LATTER
INCUR EXPENSE TRAVELLING.

Chancellor Lytle came down We'd
nesday and spent the day here try
ng two or three cases in which the
lawyers were anxious to have DEGREES.
Judge Lytle makes it practice to go
to the lawyers whenever urgent mat
ters are presented to him. He reasons
that it is cheaper for the lawyers and
the litigants to have him come to
them than it would be for them to go
to him for the hearing of cases that
must be disposed of out of the reg
ular session of the court.
