ling with the new road law again

Represeu-itives of the Atlanta
Journal and Augusta Herald have
been raking in the subscribers for
their papers during the week.
They are both first-class papers
and we notice that at least a few
of the Times’ admirers (who adm.r
ed the papers enough to take it
out of the office for two or three
years, and refused it when called
on for a little cash 1) have enrolled
for oue or the other of them. We
aie always glad to see our
poraries pull a quarter out of those
hard cases.
Gabriel Blow His Trumpot.
One of the cases tried in the
court yesterday was that against
Gabriel Solomons, an old negro
living near Mr. W. H. Bliteh’e,
charged with assault and with
intent to murder. Gabriel is ‘“way
up’wardsof fifty,” he gues-os, and
the court suggested that he was
also upwards of sixty, but he likes
the beautiful women of his raco,
and on account of this character¬
istic he was constrained to use his
old musket eu one of his male
frieuds who had the same weak¬
ness. He shot the bosom out of
the other fellow’s shirt, and came
that near to getting him out of his
way, though ho denied the whole
proceeding, and that was the issue
for trial yesterday.
When Gabriel was placed on the
stand to make his statement, he
grew eloquent, swinging his arms
and declaring in thunder tones
that he was as innocent of the
charge as an angel in heaven; that
he loved and served God, aud was
being “persecuted falsely for
Christ’s sake”; etc. He grew
louder as he proceeded, and pos¬
sibly would have been preaching
till yet if his attorneys had not
stopped him.
Solicitor Rawlings took the old
fellow’s conduct as a joking matter,
and declared that Gabriel had
blown his trumpet to try to sus¬
pend the judgment and not be¬
cause he wanted it to come, which
sent a big laugh around the room.
He commented that old Gabriel
was a preacher of marked ability—
that he was able to preach as elo¬
quent a sermon over a peanut shell
as over either of the ten command¬
ments. This sent up another laugh.
The jury returned a verdict of
guilty, and Gabriel was sentenced
to one year in the chaingang or to
pay a fine of $150.
It Will Pay to Remember,
when in need of anything in our
line—Furniture, Buggies, Saddlery,
Harness, Stoves, Fuueral Supplies,
and Hay and Grain—that we will
supply you at the very lowest prices
and on favorable terms.

Proceedings of Court.
The April term of Bulloch Su¬
perior court has been in session
this week, and is still grinding
out justice as nearly as possible
between defendant and plaintiff.
The number of cases disposed of

cases, which have been pending for
two years or more was disposed of,
which occupied the court’s time for
one day, and the case between the

other long one.

day by the selection of W. C. Par¬
ker foreman, and W. N. Hall bai¬
liff, aud it has been diligently at
work ever since. A great many
true bills have been returned,many
of them being against parties for
selling liquor. The jury expect to
finish their labors possibly by to¬
morrow night, when they will ask
to be relieved.

cases so far disposed of:
John Doe aud Elizabeth Brown
