Last Monday morning there was
a scence in the Houston County

ber of years, the popular and ef-
ficent judge of the Houston coun

Col. C. C. Duncan having been
appointed by Governor Candler
to succeed him on that bench,
In a few well-spoken words Judge
Riley gave place to his successor,
and Judge C. C. Duncan assumed
the duties of the office with appro-
priate expressions. The change
was made in a dignified and cour-
tous manner. Mr. C. E. Brun
son was re-appointed clerk of the
court, under the following order.
December Term, 1901,
Houston County Court.
In Re.
Deputy Clerk, Houston County
Court:
Whereupon, it is ordered by
the Court that C. E. Brunsdn be
and he is hereby appointed Depu
ty clerk of the County Court of
Houston county; and it is furth
er ordered that this order be
Bpread on the minutes of the
Court.
In open court, this Dec. 16th,
1901. 0. C. Duncan,
0. J. H. C.
Before the call of the docket
began, Solicitor R. N. Holtzclaw
addressed the court and asked that
a committee of three members of
the bar be appointed by the court
to report resolutions expressing the
high opinion entertained by the
bar of Judge A. C. Riley as an of
ficial and a citizen, and also ex
pressing regret that he deems it
necessary to change his residence
from Perry. The committee ap
pointed embraces, R. N. Holtz
claw, J. P. Duncan and L. L.

Following this resolution were
short talks by Judge A. 0. Riley
J. P. Duncan, L. S. Tounsley and
J. H. Houser.
The occasion was the regular
monthly term of the court, the
8rd Monday, and the resolutions
will be reported at the next
monthly term of the court, the
third Monday in January, 1902.
Only a few cases ,were on the
docket ready for trial, and they
were disposed of in a most expe
diticious and judicial manner.
A jury to serve at the next
criminal term of the court was
drawn.
The first judicial act of Judge
Duncan was thff signing of a judg
ment in a civil suit, in which
Judge John H. Houser represent
ed the plaintiff.
The first case tried was that of
the state vs Nathaniel Bynum,
assault and battery. The defend-
ent was represented by Mr. C. E.
