Judge Ilanscll convened the spring term of Lowndes superior court on Monday last, charged the graud jury and then adjourned it over until next Monday. The venerable judge, whom every body esteems very highly, celebrated his golden wedding on Tuesday hist It was proposed at first to adjourn one day only, but after consultation with lawyers and people, it was agreed to adjourn over until the next Monday. Several of the lawyers had to go to Atlanta during tlie week to attend the supreme court, and the farmers were busy cutting outi and doing helafed farm work. So it all came in very well. The judge’s charge to the jury was characteristic of the great and good mail. He had a message for them, and delivered it in an impressive and forcible manner. The Times congratulates the judge upon this golden anniversary of his wedded life, and were such a thing possible, would wish for him and his good wife many returns of the happy day.—Valdosta Times.
