in the Su-
Jim Courney, the
onvicted of
the Spring term of
the Superior court of Ware county, and
whose motion for a new trial was over
ruled by Judge Smith on the 13th inst.,
is still hopeful, through the untiring ef
forts of his council to set aside the ver
dict of the jury and obtain a new trial.
His case has been taken to the Supreme
court, and will probably be heard this
week or the early part of next. The
Courts, however, are not apt to inter-
lere with the course of justice, and with
all the facts in Jim Courney’s case be
fore them, the Supreme court will no
doubt sum Jim up as a fit subject for an
impressive example to those disposed to
be reckless destroyers of human life.

In Clinch County.
The question of the removal of the
court house from Homerville to DuPont,
is furnishing a nice little excitement for
Clinch county. It seems to be a ground
hog case with Homerville and she is
alive to the situation. Barbecues are to
be given at almost every precinct, and
the county iR being ransacked from one
end to the other for votes. The DuPont
people are also active and both sides
claim the victory. It is to be hoped
that ill feeling and personal animosities
will be avoided.
who, it will be i
to Waycross for safe-keeping, has been
found guilty with a recommendation to
mercy. Mrs. Wisenbaker swore posi
tively that Cothran was the man who
committed the murder. She pointed him
out and said, “Gentlemen, he is the
man.” And now, a question arises, if
Cothran was guilty at all he was very
guilty, why then should the jury recom
mend him to the mercy of the Court. If
he killed Wisenbaker, and the evidence
is plain that he did, he should have
been hung. He now goes to the peni
tentiary, will doubtless escape, and the
next time heard from will be serving in
the Texas legislature.

A Starter.
Just as a starter we relate the follow
ing true fish story. Mr. W. R. New-
some caught a cat out of the Satilla riv
er last Saturday something over a foot
long which had attempted to swallow a
trout nearly as long as himself. More
than two inches of the trout protruded
from the cat’s mouth. Cat fish do not
often catch a trout napping. The
strangest thing about it is that the cat
should take Mr. Newsome’s bait with
seveial inches of trout protruding. We
refer to Mr. John Hogan, a gentleman
of undoubted veracity lor the truth of
this statement.

They Pay the Penalty.
News somewdat meagre, but neverthe
less true has reached us to the effect
that the negro who killed Mr. I. J.
Brown at Nichols about a week since,
has paid the penalty of his crime. He
was captured near Hazlehurst but was
taken from the officers as they were car
rying him to Douglas, and lynched.
Reports say that he was burned but this
lacks confirmation. It is also rumored
that another negro who was with the
man who did the shooting and probably
urged him to the crime, has also been
found dead.

Bright Spring Dnjrs.
The spring should be pre-eminently a
season of contentment, happiness and
hope. In these bright and pleasant
months the country should enjoy its
highest degree of tranquility and pros
perity. But spring, it is well known, is
often a period of discomfort and dis
turbance in the physical system. Im
portant organs of the body become tor
pid or irregular in their action, and the
fact is instantly reflected in the mental
condition of the individual. A disorder
ed liver means disordered nerves and a
dull and unsteady brain. Anything
which will bring the physical system
into harmony with budding Nature con
fers an enormous benefit upon the na
tion, besides the mere allaying of physi
cal discomfort Hood’s Sarsaparilla
does this, as thousands of grateful men
and womeu can testify, and increased
use of this standard spring medicine is
ot more real practical importance in pro
moting health and quiet in the business
world than reams of abstract theorizing.
