suggestion of the undersigned that
this Court is postponed. It is due
to the facts set forth in the written
petition (which is ordered to be
(tiled herewith) and personal re
quests of all four of the lawyers at
Homer, both of the hotel proprie
tors, all of the officers of the Court,
including Judge Hill, the Ordi
nary. The attorneys who are in
terested in cast's in said Court who
do not reside in Hanks County and
with whom I have had the oppor
tunity of consulting, say that they
are willing for this adjourned term
to be called oil'. Many of the peo
pie are busy in their farms, either
picking cotton, sowing grain or
gathering corn, and, for these rca
sons, do not want the Court held.
Hut the main reason why the
Court will not be held is due to
the condition of the t 'ounty Treas
ury. Judge Hill says the County
has no money w ith which to de
fray the expenses of this Court and
that he can’t borrow it. He not
only says this is undisputeJly true
but that the September Term of the
Court was run on a credit; that he
had to borrow the money to pay
the expenses of this September
Term and, in order to obtain it,
had to promise to pay it back out
of the first taxes collected, lie
says this loan has not yet been
paid and he hasn’t a cent to carry
the expenses of the adjourne I
term.
In the face of all these tacts and
after seriously considering the prop
osition, the undersigned feels com
polled though reluctant to do so, to
call off said Court.
And it is so ordered.

The first cost of a good job of
paint—Devoe—is SSO ( average

The wear is likewise. The better

the sacred edifice to assume these
solemn vows.
'i'he groom came to Jackson from
Atlanta, Ga., and has made for
himself a name as one of the city’s
best business men, and is alike
popular in the social realm. He is

(o'clock, at his home in Maysville
occurred the death of Mr. T. .1.

For sonic time Mr. Carr had been

He w as a life long member of the I

four years an elder, for twenty

BANKS TO COURT
Judge Brand Acceeded to
Requests of Many Citi
zens There.
COUNTY IS BROKE
And Tax Payers asK the
Judge to Help Them
Save Money this Fall.
Judge Brand was to have con
vened superior court in Banks
county at Homer on the fourth
Monday in this month—next Mon
day.
But he isn’t going to do it.
He will adjourn this term over
till next March—the regular term
of the spring riding.
The people of Banks petitioned
the judge to do this. They assert
that the city is dead broke—and
that it simply cannot bear the ex
pense of another term of court just
now.
The last court—with the county
broke—was the biggest and most
expensive of twenty years in Banks,
costing four or five times as much
as the average court in that county
—mainly on account of the volu
minous and various litigation aris
ing out of the Carr-Boyd Company
failure. So the people do not leel
able to afford now theluxury of an
other big court and have asked the
judge to give them a breathing
spell till they can got a fresh hand
hold and maybe get in some tax
money to pay off the jurors and
bailiffs and the other expenses of a
court.—Athens Banner.

DECLARE WAR ON COLDS.
A crusade of education which
aims “that common colds may be
come uncommon within the next
generation” has been begun by
prominent New York physicians.
Here is a list of the “dout’ts”
which the doctors say will prevent
the annual visitation of the cold:
“Don’t sit in a draughty car.”
“Don't sleep in hot rooms.”
“Don't avoid the fresh ait.”
“Don’t stuff yourself at meal
time. Overeating reduces your re
sistance.”
To which we would add—when
you take a cold get rid of it as
quickly as possible. To accomplish
that you will find Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy most excellent.
