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. J. W. Olliff & Co. - 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. Are you g ung hunting? Then go to W. A.
