of M. L. Day wus ciiosen a delegate
to the congressional convention. J.
R. Osborn, of Atlunta, was oil hand

Tiicre seems to be some dissatisfac

house and went to the senate from
which body it has never emerged.
Since then un election for municipal
officers has been held, resulting in a
tie vote for mayor. Citizens not fa
voring the inc n rporutien favor anoth
er election while the other side do
not, aud this seems to be the cause
of the dissatisfaction. A suit at law
may grow out of it.

Berrien Superior Court.
Tbis tribunal, for the adjudication
of legal matter for Berrien county,
convened lost Monday morning
promptly at ten o’clock—Judge
James M. Griggs, of the Patitula cir
cuit, presiding.
Solicitor-General Peeples was on
hand to assist in organizing the ma
chinery of tho court and to uphold
and vindicate the majesty of the
crimina' laws of Georgia.
The grand jury was empanelled by
the selection of lion. Francis M.
Smith for foreman and the venerable
John Crosby for bailiff. Judge
Griggs’ chnrge to the jury was not
lengthy, but very pointed. It was a
cliargo which not only the jurors
but all who heard it will remember
for some time. He dissipated many
erroneous legal opinions which have
obtained among the judicial of
ficers und people of the county for
years.
There is a full attendance of the
legal fraternity from Thomusville,
Quitman, Valdosta, Albuny and oth
er points. The business of the Court,
is being transacted with dispatch.
The newpapers represented at the
court are the Valdosta Times, Adel
News and Tifton Gazette. The
collections are very slow; there is a
painful scarcity of money.
The discipline enforced by Judge
Griggs is favorably commented upon
by all present.
The political waters are being
troubled and the candidates names
arc “Legion.” It is said that Hon.
H. II. Knight will not accept the
race for the senate, lion. W. L.
Kenuon, of Adel, nml Dr. P. W. Al
exander, of Alapuhu, arc the an
nounced candidates for that place.
Col. C, W. Fultvood, of Tifton, ami
Mr. J. R. McCranie, of Sparks, will
probably be the only candidates for
representative. Candidates for the
various county offices ure also looming
up in great shape.
Two negroes plead guilty to steal
ing hogs. One from Adel district
wus sentenced to two years in the
penitentiary, and the one from Tif
ton district wits sentenced to six years
ia tho penitentiary. Thu criminal
docket was taken up Thursday morn
ing and several cases adjudicated.
The negro charged with burglurizing
Wilkes’ store, at Adel wns dischurg
cd; the evidence in the case was nut
sufficient to find un indictment. An
other negro, charged with some tri
vial offense, wus discharged for want
of prosecution.
Mr. Fred G. Boatright, of Tifton,
made application for admission to the
legal fraternity, and after a searching
examination in open court by u com-
mitteo of lawyers, among the best
talent in attendance, was admitted
to all tin* priviledges of un attorney
solicitor and counsellor. He passed
a moBt creditable examination. We
learn, however, that it is not Iiib pnr
pose to begin the practice of law for
some time yet, but will apply himself
assiduously to its study os a science.
Quite it nlimber of important civil
cases have been tried. Among them

Brown vs. Brunswick and Western
railroad, damages, nonsuit; Hester,
el al., vs. Dobson, el ah, bill to cancel
deed; Robison vs. Brunswick and
Western railroad, damages for killing
husband ut Enigma.
The court adjourned Thursday af
ternoon at five o’clock. The last day,
iiB stated above, was devoted to crirn-
nal business. A negro boy, charged
with some petty offense, was sent to
the chain gsng for six months. A
negro oonviotcit of murder, was sen
tenced to hang May 10; his case will
be carried to the supremo court.
