We have to again beg indulgence of our readers for delay in coming out, but as¬ sure our readers that next week we may be looked for on time. David, our fore¬ man and compositor in chief, is again at his post after a severe spell, but did not get there quite soon enough to enable us to recover all the lost time.

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 <>»«•• j Latek.-TIio Judge has rendered his , a “ W** J '' 'k 11 ™’" T'TrT7,7!, , •"“4;.'

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. APPOINTMENT.
