Mrs. Moore returned from her Florida
visit, yesterday, much to the delight ol
Col. R. Lee.
Mr. Geo, W. Williams, who went from
here last Sunday to attend the Superior
Court at Reidsville, returned home last
night a full-fledged lawyer, having stood
examination and been admitted to the
bar while away.
Judge Martin went out to investigate
his potato patch before breakfast last
Monday, and found that the product was
altogether too scrappy for home use; so
hejuHt tumbled it into a basket, and
brought it up to the Times office. One of
the little roots weighed at Donaldson’s
tipped the beam at 4% pounds.
Mr. I). B. Rigdon, for several years an
employee in the railway mail service, has
secured a new appointment, and went to
Atlanta this week to take a run between
that point and Brunswick. We learn that
Mr. Rigdon is an afficient mail clerk,
whose services were dispensed with by the
last administration on account of his
politics.
Postmaster Johnson has sold his lot in
the Lee Hotel block to] Mr. S. T. Chance,
and has invested in a house and lot on
South Main, about a quarter of a mile
from the public square, purchased of
Messrs. H. S. Bliteli and J.W. Olliff. Mr.
Johnson is arranging to have the house
completed, and will soon occupy his own
pro pi r y.
Rev. W. C. Cleveland preached in the
Fields hall night before last,and Rev. J.I).
Draughn, of North Carolina, last night,.
These gentlemen are above the average
preachers of any denomination, Mr. Cleve¬
land being blit a classic scholar; and we hear
nothing discourses the highest commendation
of the delivered on the occa¬
sions referred to. Their large audiences
were well pleased.
Walter Reaves’s sign, which is now be¬
ing executed by Mr. I>. B. Glymph, at¬
tracts crowds of spectators who call in to
seethe work as it progresses. It is a
beautiful painting, executed on canvas,
each side presenting a different landscape
scene and differently lettered. Mr. Glymph
is an artistic sign painter, having follow¬
ed that particular occupation for many
years. We learn that his first job in
Statesboro has been the result of already
securing him a number of others in the
same line.
The “Grand Millinery Opening” an¬
nounced by the World's Fair Stotg seems
to have been a great success, our report¬
er being positively unable to remain
away from the display that was made
there last Monday, Tuesday and yester¬
day. Monday was a specially attractive
occasion to him, when, dropping in con¬
stantly, he noticed that while pretty hats
got scarcer pretty (being a married man
and a good judge he says it) women kept
getting more plentiful. If they all didn’t
go away prettier and happier it wasn't
the fault of the World’s Fair Store.
If you don’t believe that we are
determined to sell eveiy suit we’ve
got this season, call and see the
bargains, for they’ll surprise you.

In Justice Court.
The regular monthly sitting of
the Justice Court for this district
was held in the Court House Mon¬
day, when Esquires Lee and Roun¬
tree disosped of several cases.
Justice Rountree handled five
cases, as follows: I. V. Simmons
vs. Z. II. Lee. Sued on note,
against which Lee produced re¬
ceipts. Submitted to jury. Ver¬
dict for Lee.
Mrs. Henry Peterson vs. T. F.
Brannen. Brannen attached cot¬
ton as Peterson’s, and his wife
claimed the property. It was
proved that Peterson did the work
that produced the cotton and had
not been paid for his labor. J udge
ment for Brannen.
J. W. Smith vs. Dempsey Smith,
Judgment for plaintiff.
J. L. Brown vs. Dan Alderman;
tiff. two cases. Judgement for plain¬
Justice Lee had hut two cases:
B. F. Lanier, Jr., vs. John S. Mal¬
lard. Settled.
Blitch & Newton vs. John S.
Brannen. Suit on note. Judge¬
ment for plaintiff.
This morning each of the Jus¬
tices disposed of a case against
Mr. John D. F'ord, brought in the
state’s name.
That before Justice Lee was fo)
a peace warrant, sued for by C. H.
Stephens in behalf of his wife.
A $50 bond was required.
That before Justice Rountree
was for assault upon J. E. Stephens.
Dismissed.
5 he Stephens family are tenants
upon the farm of Mr. Ford, and
he objected to their pulling pea
vines for their cows, last Tuesday
evening. J. E. Stephens persisted
in the offense, and the old man
crawled over the fence and ran the
boy away from his job, indulging
in threats and cansiderable pro¬
fanity : hence the two cases.
A SIX-SIDED CONTEST.
An interesting contest will be
made in the approaching Superior
Court, over the estate of late Rev.
James Flier bee.
February 11, 1889, Mr. Ellerbee
made of a land will, the bequeathing Executive 1170
acres to Com¬
mittee of the Baptist Convention
ef Georgia, and the remainder of
his property to his cousins, Mr.
John E. Mallory of Savannah and
Mrs. Sarah Welsh of Baltimore.
April 22, 1892, he made a new
will, in which he bequeathed $175
to the trustees of the Salem Bap¬
tist churh, 180 acres of lan 1 to
Willie Edenfield, and the remain¬
der to the aforesaid re'atives, John
E. Mallery and his sister, Mrs.
Welsh. The Executive Committee
of the Baptist Convention of Geor¬
gia lias entered suit to set aside
the last will of the testator, on
lie ground that he was not of
sound mind at the time of mak¬
ing the document, while Mrs. Mary
A. Young, of Axtell, Tex., being a
niece of Mr. Ellerbee, and next of
kin, enters suit to upset all the
wills in her own behalf.
Col. D. R.Groover represents Mrs.
Young, Coi. J. A. Brannen repre¬
sents Mr. Mallery and Mrs. Welsh,
and Messrs. Steed & Wimberly of
Macon, and Col. Geo. W. Williams,
Statesboro’s new attorney, repre¬
sent. the Baptist interesst.
So far the contest has but three
sides; but Salem church and Wil¬
lie Edenfield. both being interest¬
ed in the last testament, will have
to protect their interests, which
will take off two of the corners,
while Col. II. B. Strange will com¬
plete the sexagonal shape of the
contest by pressing the claims of
Mrs. Loretta Stone.
It appears that Mrs. Stone had
served in the family of Mr. Filler
bee for a period of about twenty
years; and to compensate her for
her faithfulness, and in the further
consideration that she should serve
him as long as he lived, he, in 1885,
deeded her certain real estate, and
then in 1801 gave her personal
property of the value of $700. La¬
ter the old gentleman became dis¬
satisfied, took legal steps to oust
the woman from the premises, and
incorporated in his last will the
property which he had. transferred
to her.
However the contestants of the
will may come out, it would seem
that Col. Strange’s client stands a
good chance of getting possession
of her property.
