The Court, since our last issue has moved on smoothly and a great deal of business has been disposed of. Judge Rice has lent his whole energy to the closing up of the cases on the dockets and with most satis factory results. A number of cases have been tried, a list of which we append. In addition, many judgements were rendered by default, while many more cases were continued because the parties were not pre pared for trial. Every docket has been gone through with and but few cases are left of which some disposition has not made for the term. On Wednesday morning the Criminal docket was taken up and the jail was cleared, while various other cases were tried. There are several cases on this docket still to be tried but most of them were acted on by the Grand Jury at this term. In all cases where the parties were ready the Court has pressed the business to a finality and much has been acomplished. Judge Rice is untiring and the county has been greatly benefitted so far by this term of the Court. On yesterday morning the juries were sworn in for this, the second week and everything started off well, not withstanding the bad weather. Mr. J. R.H.

Price, ot Dahlonega. The equinoctial caught the sheriff with out any wood, and hence the Court ran on a rather damp and cool schedule yesterday. An old negro testified in court, the other i day, that a certain attorney told him if he I would bring him a good watermelon, he , should have no trouble about his case. We knew that newspapers sometimes took pay in such commodities, but this is the first time we ever heard of a lawyer’s fee being paid in watermelons. —' —• Hcllton Abolished. The case brought by Joseph 11. Banks ’ and others against the Mayor and Council of Bellton, calling on them to show by what authority they exercise rights as incorpora , tors, came on to be heard before Judge , j Rice, in the Superior Court to-day. The , I ease involves the constitutionality of the ; act by which Bellton was incorporated. It j was ably argued by Col. J. N. Dorsey for the ’ plaintiffs, and Col. W. P. Price and 11. H. Perry, Esq., for the defendants. Judge Rice decided that the act was unconstitutional, and that Bellton had no legal charter, and ’ therefore her Mayor and Council had no B right to exercise any authority as such. * This decision abolishes Bellton as a char tered town. 1 The City Council at their last meeting f passed two ordinances of importance.

A short entertainment was given at the College Chapel, on Friday night last, as an introduction to the meeting caller! to discuss the public school question. The exercises consisted of music and recitations by some of the College pupils, and were very inter esting. Those who took part were Misses Anna Smith, Fannie Jackson, Jennie Aus tin, Genie Ix>den, Sallie Rudolph, Willie Butt and Mr. Burrell Mayners. We would be glad to give more particulars but the names of the selections were not announced. We understand that very little preparation . was made for this entertainment, and it waS only a sample of tlfe daily exercises of the College curriculum. We are sure that the large audience enjoyed it. After the entertainment was over, Prof. LaHatte called the house to order and an nounced the object of the meeting—the consideration of the public school question. Col. J. B. Estes was chosen chairman, and Mr. J. Frank Boyd, secretary. Col. Estes opened the meeting with a few appropriate remarks, and called on Prof. LaHatte to suggest any plan that was practicable, and the meeting would take action on it. The following was the plan proposed: Tax on $545,000. city property, at } of one per cent, $2,725 Matriculate 150 students at $6 per year, 900 Fund from State, over, 400 Tuition from outside corporation, 200 4 225 Matriculate 100 colored pupils at $6, 600 $4,825 EXPENSES. 1 Superintendent, SI,OOO 1 Grammar School Teacher, 4<)o 1 Common School Teacher, 300 1 Primary School Teacher, 300 Incidental, 100 $2,100 2 Teachers colored school, 400 Incidental, 50 $2,550 $2,550 Leaving balance in treasury of $2,275 which may be used to finish up college building, and as a sinking fund towards payment of public debt. The plan was favorably received, and on motion of Col. Lawshe, a committee of five vtas appointed to request the City Council to take steps to bring the matter before the people, so that they rnay express their wishes at the ballot box. Committee: Col. P. F. Lawshe, Dr. J. W. Bailey, W. E. Stevens, Esq., Judge J. B. M. Winburn, Prof. C. B. LaHatte. Bee Culture. This is a new work, just published by Thomas G.
