in which the Star man turned him off a
small lot of job printing, when, without
even having presented the bill for settle¬
ment, the account was placed in the hands
of the officer for collection. The claim is
for $1, and no doubt the Doctor is con¬
gratulating himself that he is to become
a full-fledged citizen of the banner county
of the state at so small a cost.

We have to again beg indulgence of our

be looked for on time. David, our fore¬
man and compositor in chief, is again at

get there quite soon enough to enable us
to recover all the lost time. Me are on

SUPERIOR COURT.
The mills of justice are still grinding,
and have been turning out grist with
great celerity and certainty for the past
ten days; and still there is
much to be done. The cases disposed of
have largely been of an unimportant
charncter, so far as the public interest is
concern *d. being for such trifling as the
carrying of concealed weapons and fight
iug and quarrelling among negroes.
Perhaps the most important civil ease
was. one that w as disposed of this (Thurs¬
day) morning, consuming most of the
day yesterday. It was a three-cornered
fight, in which John G. Williams, David
A. William* and Nicy Williams were the
participants, represented respectively by
Judge liiaes, Fol. Lester, and Fob J. A.
Bra linen.
It appears that about the middle of
1890 D. A. Williams sold toJ. G. Wil
Mains a certain piece of land, and took a
$5(10 note in part payment. About the
same time 1). A. \Villianis and Nicy Wil¬
liams separated, and Hit* decree granting
the divorce set apart this same laud as a
support for the children left in charge of
the wife. J. G. Williams refused then to
pay the note, and D. A. Williams brought
suit for the amount. The result of the
depended upon whether D. A. Wil.
hams was living with ins wife at the time
of disposing of the land, otherwise lie
not legally do so: if he was, then
the land was illegally set apart for the
wipport of the children, being at the time
Gie Property of John G. \\ dimms.
T| .e jury divided that I). A. and Nicy
\\ lilianis were living together as husband
end wife at the time the land was trans¬
ferred; therefore, John G. Williams’s title
to the land was perfect:, and 4. G. Wil¬
liams owed David A. Williams $500, and
interest on the amount.
The effect of this verdict is to dispos¬
sess Mrs. Williams and herchildren of the
home set apart for them. But we under¬
stand that Judge Gamble's decree in the
case will provide that the money now due
to David A. Williams by Joint G. M il¬
(jams shall be set aside in lieu of the land,
with which a home shall be provided for
the children during their minority. It
seems that Mrs. Williams has been frozen

'] HE L).‘& S. SOLD.
At noon yesterday the Dover A States¬
boro railroad was put up to the highest
bidder, before the Court House door, and
was knocked down to Mr. Fred. T. Lock¬
hart, of Augusta for "the sum of $35,000,
the only bid offered.
Mr. Loekhart bid on the property as
the representative of Messrs. Janies L.
Fleming, L. C. Hayne, J. 'I'. Newberry and
Fred. T. Lockhart, a syndicate of Aagus
ta capitalists. These gentlemen will be
joined by others, and the new company
will organize and be ready to settle for
and take charge of (he road at the next
sitting of the United States Court, tin#
ir>tL inst.
The name of the road will be chungod,
p ut Lockhart was not prepared to
say what it would be styled. What oth
( >r changes and improvements would be
effected it, was impossible to state until
the company should be organized and
get its hands upon the property.
NO NEW COURT HOUSE.'
It is to he regretted that the grand
jury failed to recommend a new Court
House for this county.
A report made by the Acting Superin¬
tendent of Census, in Washington, ex¬
hibits Georgia as in next to the best fi¬
nancial condition, so far as mortgage in¬
debtedness of its inhabitants is concerned,
of any state >u the Union.
Arkansas has a mortgage indebtedness
of $13 per capita, and Georgia comes
next with a debt of .$15 for every man,
woman and child in the state.
Of nil the counties in Georgia, the
Timhn believes that Bulloch is ip about
the best financial condition. Her soil is
good, her people are industrious, and ihe
comfortable homes all over the county
show that they are prosperous. They
are not taxed heavily, it being very
doubtful if tbepeophiof any other county
get a way from the collector so lightly as
they do here. The fact that no property
ever has to be exposed to public sale in
this county for taxes, affords the very
best evidence of the general prosperity.
Bulloch could and should build a better
Court House.
A CORRECTION.
The Timks erred last week in the state¬
ment that thesejitenceinthp ease of Lew¬
is Jacksw as “$1,000 fine or one year
in the chaingang.** The fine imposed by
The Court was $500. The error crept in¬
to the statement by the impression which
was made upon the mind of the reporter,
that the total cost to the defendant in
tin* ease would amount to a thousand
dollars.
