The State docket was called and there was several pleas of guilty entered by parties who were charged with misdemeanors. The first jury case was that of Jackson Daniel, for carrying concealed weapons. A verdict of guilty was returned by the jury after a spirited trial that consumed all of Monday. The next cac tried was an illegality. The parties were Mathews vs. W. I. Pike, admin istrator of J.J. Flournoy. This occupied the attention of the Court until Thursday twelve o'clock. Court is moving along slow on ac count of the tediousnes of the cases, and there will not oq much of a hole made in the various dockets, althouge Judge Erwin is doing his utmost to expedite business. The movements of courts are necessarily slow, ami it is almost an impossibility to hurry them up. Look Out! Tax-Payors.
