Park, of the Oc¬ mulgee circuit, presided over the Newton Superior Court Thursday andl Friday, and by his rulings and gener¬ al demeanor on the bench, created a favorable impression among the Newton county bar and citizens of the county. He presided in the cases which Judge C. S. Reid was disquali¬ fied, because of his connection with H em when he was solicitor-general. Judge Park is very forcible in his manner, and dispatched the work of the court with much rapidity and carefulness. He is a graduate of Emory college, in the class of 1874, and until his ele¬ vation to the bench of the Ocmulgee circuit three years ago, practiced law in Greensboro where he had a fine practice. And in connection with Judge Park being from Greene county, it might be of iinterest to know that the last four judges of the Ocmulgee circuit have come from the Greensboro bar. T ose preceding Judge Park were the late Judge Hal Lewis, of the supreme court bench, Judge John C. Hart, the tax commissioner, and Judge Henry Gray Lew-is, (w ho is now a member of the law firm of Lewis, Davison & Lewis, of Greensboro. Thus it will will be seen that Greene is the “mother of judges.’’ NOTIC TO CITIZNS. The citizens of Newton county are invited to meet in the court house at 1<> o’clock Friday Nov. 28th, to per¬ fect a Newton County Fair Association and elect officers for same. J. O. MARTIN, Tem.
