Blassengame 0-FI0B OVER DOW LAW BANK, FORT VALLEY. : GEORGIA morning the April term of ton Superior court was adjourned since die, 9$ days having been oc cupied in the consideration of court business. Of the 70 civil cases on the cal endar, about 25 were filially dis posed of, and of these not more than six were submitted to a jury. The first case tried occupied 2^ days, and the next was almost equally lengthy. The grand jury acted upon 52 indictmects, sending, into court 29 true bills and 13 no bills. On the caleudar there were cases against 29 prisoners. Of these all but six were called for trial, resulting in seven verdicts of guilty, eight pleas of guilty,six verdicts of not guilty, and one case nol posed. Six cases were transferred to the county court. Of the convictions, nine wero for misdemeanors and 5 for felo ny offenses. , The heaviest sentence in the felony cases was 10 years, given Nelson Howard, charged with rape. Isaac Dennard’, indicted for murder, was convicted of un lawful shooting at another, and sentenced to 2 years in the peni tentiary.

Facilities unsur passed. HOWARD M. SMITH, No. 814 Sscond St.. Maoon, Ga. — * - governing Hons- iprimary to be held on June 5th, every person desiring to vote must register at least 10 days before the date of the primary, Tuesday, May 27th,is the last day on which a voter can regif ter legally. The primay will be on Thursday. On last Monday the registration book at Perry contained only 216 names, but this book is constant ly open in the Ordinary’s office at the Court house. If all voters were required to register in this book, the vote on June 5th would be exceedingly light, as a very great many men would fail to come to Perry for that purpose. This inoouvenience has been obviated, however, and ’ twenty other books have been sent into the several districts. There is a book at each voting precinct, and one at each other place Where the Tax Collector made special ap pointment to collect taxes last year. In the book at Perry voters from all the districts may regis ter, but in the books at other places, each voter must register in his own district. It is hoped there will be a full registration, as the primary will be for the nomination of all state district, circuit and county of ficers to be elected this year. The privilege of voting is a duty that every good oitizen should per form. On Monday the registration in the book at Perry was by districts as follows: Upper 6th, 18; Lower 5th,, 8; Sixth, 8; Ninth, 12; Tenth, 21; Lower town, 92; Upper town, 80; Lower 11th, 1; Upper 11th, 2; Twelfth, 2; New 18th, 6; Old 18, 6; Lower 14th, 5; Upper 14th, 5; Total 216. or in Not the FOREMOST Modern Shoemaking has become an art.
