Coweta Superior Court.
The regular fall term of Coweta Su-
,‘rior Court convened last Monday
lomirg, Judge S. W. Harris presiding.
As b well known, Judge Ilams has
keen llmost an invalid for several
nont'^ past, bur it affords us pleasure
r, m e that lie is now improving—
llowlj it is true, but none the less
Lively and in a few months it is be
lieved he will be able to resume his du-
lies refularlv. Appreciating his condi-
jion, md loth to impose upon him two
. eeksof unremitting labor which he was
nanif'stlv unable to perform, the bar
Imaninously requested an adjournment
until he first Monday in January, at
ivliicl time the full term of two weeks
will le held. This action on the part
,f tie bar was entirely spontaneous,
,nd (videnced a friendly consideration
,nd fraternal regard that must have
[l )een extremely gratifying to Judge
Jlari's. In accordance with the re-
thus preferred, an adjournment
was ordered until the first Monday in
.1 antary, and the grand jury was
disnissed before organization had been
..ffe ted. Judge Harris instructed both
[^r.iAfl and petit jurors to be present at
i Imadjourned term, however,
i (hurt remained in session, informal-
u 11 til Tuesday at noon, during
,i eh time several motions were
ip.j.i d, orders granted, and judgments
, ben in cases where no issuable de-
„« e was filed. The petit jury was
upanneled Monday morning to try
t„ divorce case of Soplironia Burdett
. James Burdett, which, by consent
all parties, resulted in a decree of
, . s ,i separation—mutually and ttbso-
utely. Xo other cases were heard
ml the jury was dismissed for the

Messrs, F, A, Pearce, of Lutliers-
, ille, and It, L O’Kelly, of Grantville,

:i r. Judge Harris appointed Messrs. P.
Smith, L. It. Ray, W. A. Turner,
It, W. Freeman and H. A. Hall a com
fit tee to examine the applicants and
i seer tain their fitness for admission.
The examination took place Tuesday
morning, in open Court, and was en
tirely creditable to the candidates.
The Coilit was likewise satisfied as to
i heir proficiency and they were duly
admitted and licensed to plead and
practice law.
In addition to the local fraternity,

Dr. Urquhart. It w as' a rare treat to
hear these ladies talk about the olden
times in South Carolina.
The school children are being dis
banded in this section to pay homage
to King Cotton. Mrs. T. O. Dominick
had the finest school of the season,
numbering sixty-three pupils. Mrs. D.
is a model teacher, and her pupils show
signs of advanced ethical culture. Her
mode of teaching reminds one of a pho
tographic artist preparing his plates for
a picture. When she gets her pupil’s
mind fixed, then she throws a flood of
intellectual light, and the result is a
perfect impression. Newman would do
well to engage her as a teacher in the
public school next year. I do not know
that she would accept, but a better
teacher cannot be found in this county.
Muscadines are getting ripe, and the
girls are sending out invitations to
Judge Persons.
The people on White Oak think The
Herald axd Advertiser the best
paper in Georgia.
The report is current in this neck o’
the woods that Jeff. Davis and Grover
Cleveland will hug and kiss at the Pied
mont Exposition, in Atlanta, and that
Governor Gordon will pay off the Con

In Brief, mid to the Point.
Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is one
of the most complicated and wonderful
things in existence. It is easily put out
of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits, and many other things
which ought not to lie, have made the
American people a nation of dyspeptics.
But Green’s August Flower has done
a wonderful work in reforming this sad
business and making the American peo
ple so healthy that they can enjoy their
meals and be happy.

“Stinson, Ga., Sept. 1st.
••.J. E. Iiroini. Xcirmui, % G«.—
My Dear Sir: 1 am pleased to inform j
I'Ouiliat your communication and ae-
'omfianving papers relating to an m-
rease of mail service from Xewnan to
promptly referred by me.
Cookeville.
Mr. Editor:—Since writing to your
valuable paper last I have changed my
location from Riverside to Cooksville,
from which place I will endeavor to
present regularly to your readers such
news as I may gather in and around
our little village.
Our fanners have begun to gather in
the fleecy staple. Most of them report
the cotton crop off a good large per
cent. There will be scarcely any corn
made on lowlands through this section.
Why do not our law r -makers endeavor
to get the new- road law, as adopted by
Coweta? It is? undoubtedly the wish
of their constituents.
Misses Idtt kiid Ada Daniel, from
neftl' Dfikesville, and Miss Etta Blake,
of Alabama, have been visiting rela
tives at Cooksville.
Rev. Mr. Leak has recently closed a
very interesting meeting at Harmony
church, with several accessions to its
membership.
We noticed some time ago in the cbl-
umns of The Herald and Advertis
er an article from the pen of your
Cooksville correspondent declaring the
extreme need of a dude law in this sec
tion. And now-, while we do nDt hank
er after a controversy with the fellow-
who calls himself “Xale,” still we do
not like to have “dishwater” insinua
tions thrown upon ourselves and friends.
It strikes me The H. & A. correspon
dent is a little too previous in his ideas,
for w-e do not think he fully under
stands the issue involved. Indeed, how-
can he, having no family but a wife,
and no daughters to receive the atten
tions of troublesome, beaux? Living
away back off the big road, as he does,
how- can he be materially benefited' by
the enactment of such a law? And
while there is no probability that w-e
will ever have such a law-, still that fel
low’s letter has a tendency to give the
people a wrong impression as to w-hat
m-Albii* jjitu Miccii o a -A. iv/wyi

peptic. Ask your druggist for a bottle.
