Dooly superior couTt, after a two weeks recess on account of small pox, re-convened in Vienna last Monday, with Judge Littlejohn and Solicitor Hooper, Hoth on hand. The grand jury had already been oTgumzed, with Mr. J. 0. Hamilton as foreman, and it took but a short time to get down to business. There appears to be not as much interest in court as usual, due to the fact that not many cases of very great, importance are to be tried, and more largely due to the fact that the people are decidedly fewer in number than usually at tend this court. The small pox scale, no doubt, has kept many away, while farmers, who are not compelled to go to court, are taking advantage of the fine weather by working on their farms Several candidates are m attendance upon court, shaking hands with t he people and pressing their respective claims for the ticular office he aspires to fill. The candidates tor the legislature seem tooutnumbar those tor any other office, unleash is for ordinary.

Mr. Jim Francis, manager of the Acme Bottling Works, of this city, offers $25.00 in gold to either the white merchant or the colored merchant of the city, who sells the greatest number of cases of bottle soda water, pur chased of him during the seasau. He gives a check or certificate with each case, and the merchant holding the greatest number of these at the close of the season, will surely get $25.00 in gold. It is true that the very best grade of soda water are made by these people, and they already enjoy an extensive trade. Our soda water men should take ad vantage of this offer, besides it is right to patronize home industry. Send in your orders and you will be treated right. Prices—60 cents straight. No cut prices.
