CASES ASSIGNED
FOR SUMMER TERM
CRISP SUPERIOR COURT WILL
BE HELD ON REGULAR SEIZED
ULE.

From CordeIe Dispatch.
The Crisp County Bar Association
met today to assign civil cases for
trial at the July term of court, and a
motion was made by some members
of the bar to adjourn the term of
court because of the term coming in
midsummer, and the light docket.
Judge Crum presided at the meeting
stating to the bar that his policy was
to hold all terms of court as fixed
nv the. calendar of the circuit, and
the trial of such civil business as liti-
giants and counsel desired disposed of
ia the various counties. 1t was de-
cided that the court be regularly held,
and cases of the civil docket were as
signed for trial - -,
The summer terms of the courts in
the Cordele circuit would ordinarily
begin with the converting of court in
Wilcox county on Monday, July 5th,
hut because the people of Fitzgerald
and Ben Hill county have arranged
for TINS date great Fourth of July
celebration, this court at Abbeville
...'has been adjourned over until Tues
& day, July 9Th. at which time all mat
ters coming before the court viii be
in order for hearing.
''''" The civil and criminal dockets of
The counties Of Wilcox, Ben Hill,
'Dooly and Crisp, comprising the Cor
dele circuit, are unusually light, due
to The policy of consistently holding
the courts at the times fixed, and the
: efficient manner of disposing Of the
business with as few jurors as posi-
BILE, brought about the cooperation of
the attorneys of the circuit. 1t has
been such that the courts in all the
counties are nearer up with their
work than has been the case in years,
and the business has been transacted
at minimum of expense to the tax
payers.

DOGS Name and Address

The New York Women's League
for Animals is making plea to have
your name and address engraved OF
written on your dogs collar. This
will help greatly in returning the ami
NAL if lost, to the owner. The license
number or merely the name, on the
collar, tells only half the story if seen
by those finding stray dogs. The
name and address on the collar would
make the task. of returning a dog to
his owner an easy one.

HE TOOK A CHECK

During a voyage across the ocean
tanker struck an iceberg and start
ed sinking. Having no life boats or
preservers the situation was hopeless.
The sailors herded into respondent
crowd as the ship slowly sank lower
and lower. A deathly silence gripped
the scene. Suddenly deep negro
voice doomed out: "Do ennybody
heah want to buy a good pair %
bones?"
