A CITY COURT.
How to Obtain it and What its
Jurisdiction Would be.
A TIME AND MONEY SAVER.
The Establishment of One Here Being
Discussed and May be Considered
by the Grand Jury Next Week.
A number of our citizens have been
discussing the propriety of having a
city court established for Og.ethorpe
county, and believing that some re
formatory change along this line is
much needed to expedite the public
business and reduce the county’s ex
pense as well as to avoid the tedious
routine . and long delays , , . incident ., , to .
our
present system, we have taken the
trouble upon ourselves to enquire into
the facilities and workings of such
courts.
They are established upon the re
comendation of the grand jury and act
under, and in accordance with an act
creating the city court of Macon.
They are especially fouud free from the
red tape procedure in other
courts aud their pleadings and practice
are so simple that any good business
man can prepare his own pleadings
aud conduct his own case without go
mg to the expense of hireing a lawyer
if he so desire. The rules of practice
in this couit are such that long delay
in the trial of cases are avoided and all
may be given a speedy hearing. I bey
may try all civil cases not specially re
quned to bo tried in the Superior court
and any misdemeanor on the criminal
side of the court, and in any of these
cases the parties may waive trial by ju
ry and have their case heard and pass
ed upon by the judge alone, which in
practice is usually holds quarterly done. and
The court terms
may sit from day judge to day until the dock
et is clear. The is appointed by
the Governor and aproved by the Sen
ate. Ilis salary is fixed by the grand
jury establishing the court. The So
licitor-General of the judicial circuit is
made the Solicitor of this court and
the Sheriff of the county and the Clerk
of the Superior court are cx-othcio offi
ot this court.
There is no appeal from this court to
the Superior court. Suits are filled
and iu three months judgment is ren
deredand the case is ended in less
than half the time required to get a
judgment in the Superior court.
In criminal cases the defendant may
waive trial by jury, submit his case to
the judge, and have be the released trial over punished in ten
minutes or
without any delay or unnecessary ex
p6nse.
This question has frequently been
discussed and considered by our peo
pie and it is said that more than once
the grand jury would but for have the recomend- fact
ed such a court that
there was always a number of candi
dates for the yarious offices made nec
essary by the court, for whose benefit
its establishment seemed to be desired.
We know of no such hinderance
now. We have heard no one suggest
ed for any office connected with such a
court nor indeed have we heard that
any effort will be made to have a city
court established in this county but we
believe it would be desirable for the
public good and we would like to see
the grand jury of next week take it
into consideration.
Many other counties in ^ e o
both larger and smaller than Ogle
tborpe, have established city courts and

Much toour disappointment.we have
to report the \ enable Bros with their
lorce of hands to work in the quarries
not vet here, though thev are expected
by every train. Their failure to come
is due to the fact that the building of a
massive ten-story eranite hotel on the
old capitol site in Atlanta was suddenly
sprung upon the Messrs. Venable
last week, which has engaged their en
tire time and attention as they are
rushing to get the work under headway
so as to have it ready to entertain vis
itors to the exposition this fall. They
write that they will give the work here
their attention just as soon as
possible and any train may bring them
and their force of sixty hands.

To Enlarge * the Cemetery
_ 1 he enlagement pn . „ p and Ant1 improvement
of the Clark cemetery iu this place is
being discussed by parties interested
with some prospects of the end being
accomplished. It i« proposed t® buy
of Mr. Ed. Maxwell oue acre back and
one acre front by two acres along side
the one acre now in the lot, making
five acres in all. The whole will then
be systematically laid off into lots with
necessary drive* and walks, and a rest
ing place for the dead creditable to the
town thus made. The matter should,
by no means, end in talk.

I believe I have heard it vaguely
hinted that Easter is a church festival
in commemoration of our Savior's res¬
urrection. It is but a faint impression,
however, and will, doubtless, fade en¬
tirely away as year after year brings its
array ot “stunning” costumes which
make their initial public appearance on
the holy Easter Sabbath, It does
seem that Easter is a very convenient
those projection upon which to hang all
cunningly devised draperies and
bewildering fabrics over which, and
other religious topics, Fashion has
been musing during the long Lenten
days. It is, moreover, the gateway
back into the gaities of the world and
what Is more natural than that it
should be metamorphosed into a free
for-all dress parade where the longest
purse gels under the string first.
* *
Easter! Once the shibboleth be¬
tween Christianity and Paganism and
now the great bendii day of tailors,
milliners and dry goods merchants.
Once rocks a and day cliffs, hailed by those who, God in after the
dictates worshipped
the of their own conscience;
uow welcomed but by those who are
able to prove the sincerity of their re¬
ligion by the newness anil fineness of
their apparel. Once ushered in by
heartfelt prayers-and praises; but now
bv the appearance of “Easter novel¬
ties.”
* * *
How many on the bright Easter
morning will be thinking of its glorious
prototype nearly nineteen hundred
years ago, when in defiance of the
laws of nature the earth gave up its
dead and lie who had been crucified
came out of its depths. How many,
like those gentle Hebrew Wouiuu, will
make their pious pilgrimage and to where
the Master is laid garnish Ilis se¬
pulchre with their choicest gifts. How
many rich garbed women, as they lis¬
ten to the soulful organ strains and
inhale the delicate perfume of the
Paschul lilies, will realize the changes
the day has brought to them. From
slavery to the royal purple; from dark
obscurity to the brightest jewels that
ever sparkled iu a conqueror’s diadem;
from the parching desert aud the loath¬
some jungle to the pleasant mountain
sides whose suow capped heads are
raised in perpetual worship and adora¬
tion. For woman the greatest wo r k of
Christ was done; she should burn on
his altar her sweetest incense and pour
her costliest ointment at his feet.
