With this issue the News enters upon its fourth volume. With bowing and tipping our hat we thank our former customers and patrons for their favors and hope, in the future, to be able to merit a continuance of the same, and add new ones to our list. While it is impossible for one man to please every body we do not think that we have made a single enemy through the medium of our little paper, and if so, we are willing to make amends for any thing that we have done amiss. We are glad to see that our efforts are not entirely void of appreciation, and can say that the prospects before us are promising uit f we (rope to realize our expecta¬ tions and not lie decieved iu our calculations. Molten wants a Mil at re! Troup. McVille has been paid a flying visit by a butterfly.—What a sight. Mr. John B. Cabling of McVille is dead. He died ot palpitation of the heart. Our exchanges have a good deal to • ay about the munps. We have been iortionnte so far to escape. There has been more cotton carried to Ml. Vernon this season than ever before, This surely substantiates the first item iu the “Mt.

It was done about 5 o'clock iu the evening and he being unable to secure any medical assistance had to suffer until the next day. Among the exch iiige items in the penny Local of the 17th instant it has this to say,‘ A devil of a fellow sets types on the Wiregrnss Watchman with much e’s ” The Penny Local has had an un¬ pleasant visitor, J. 1). Roberts, who acted deaf and dumb, and said bv vtiling t'tsl he was from Texas and wanted help to get home. However, he was seen the next morning on the street engaged in a “giggling con¬ versation,” which showed that he was a fraud, and ought to go l ’ the “only” Lung Pad Company. The Jesup Sentinel contained a true and interesting sketch ot the resources lie., of Wavue county, last week which are. very much applicable to our county which join Wayne on the west written bv A.

The “bar” is full Jury all in parties and witnesses all present Eleven o’clock and we do not hear the voice of the Sheriff at the Court House, meet the clerk and ask what’s the matter, and is informed that the Judge has not arrived, suppose he will come on the one o’clock train or receive a dispatch to adjourn over until morning, and at the time ap¬ pointed his Honor arrives deposits his baggage and walks deliberately to court house takes his seat orders the Sheriff to proceed to call the Jury, perhaps some one supposing he would be all right in time got “tile" and is fined ten dollars which is all right. Hut we never hear even and excuse from his Honor and every thing goes on smoothly after perhaps a half or a whole day is lost to the county. I ask the question, is he not amenable to some tjibunal or is he a privilage charactert because he has a salery who is able to come on Saturday if he does not wish to travel on Sunday. If there is no tribunal to which he is amenable there should be. Again, court adjourns to meet at nine in the morning Juries, parties, and witnesses standii<’ around the court house notice that court is in session, all not having the correct time with his ° Honor, . informs Juror th;it sonic one u he had better » go in, whohurrysin and ittids the clerk has Just finished cull ,, ing the list his name is marked, this is all right as they should be prompt. Hut suppose his Honor is ten minutes late all is well; again a case is called and some motion is made which meets opposition from the other side and an apjieal is made to his honor and he is not prepared to d cide, he does not turn to the “Code or rules of practice" but allows couucel to search up au thorites by •running through many mtmbers of “Georgia Reports" and finally finds a simui.tr case which was decided , . twenty or more years ago . by the Superior court under some statute which has been repealed and the Judges dead or out of office, and after an hour or |uore being consumed the time of the country and expense of the county, he is able to decide the question which might have been done in two minutes. If the decisions of the Suprem court is law what use have we for any other law making power. The decisions of the Suprem court . Judge* , . and . „ Bar ,s 0 .^ reat Hs0 1 * l “ 1 ' tn their studies but tun to make a ‘law school’ ot the court room the Code and subsequent statutes arc all that is need cd in tile court room, ii I was a Judge my opinion differd from the <leci« * on * ^ should decide according lo my own opinion, cl the law and tacts of the cast*, suppose for an instant there W " J8 a case betore rhe court and a Bimular • • wee tafpeeD j i decided » • . it by the . Suprrmecmrt and you was Judge snd believed it was wrong what won I i you do? Could vou decide under your oath contrary to what you believed to be law and justice because time or even five wise men had so decided. The opinion of five men often is belter than one, hut all is subject to error and 1 would not. give my own opinion after due consideration for the opinion ot no one, though we often get informa¬ tion from others. 1 think the proper place to consult the opinions of others and other authorities, is in your law office ar.d not in the court room, and so far as justice will premit let all tilings be done with as much dispatch as possible.
