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. C. 11.

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.

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.
