Grand Jury Landing Many True Bills.
The April term of the Superior
court of White county convened at
the court-house in Cleveland Mon
d|v morning at 10 o’clock. Judge
presiding. After deliver¬
ing the charge to the grand jury,
and that body had retired to the
room assigned them, the court pro¬
ceeded to dispose of some divorce
cases before it.
The criminal docket was not a
very large one, and the business
thereon was soon disposed of, some
pleading guilty while others stood
trial.
The case of Jos. M. Miller ver¬
sus the Gainesville & Northwestern
Railroad Co, was continued. 1 his
is a suit brought by Mr. Miller
against the railroad company tor
alleged damages sustained in the
removal of his residence off tire
right-of-way at the time the road
-was being constructed.
Tbs case of Luther C. Smith
against the Gainesville & North¬
western Railroad Co., for injuries
•sustained while in their employ in
a motor car accident, was compro¬
mised upon the payment of $aqo.to
Mr. Smith .and all costs and attor¬
ney fees.
For some reason the test case be¬
tween the G. & N. W. K, B ■ in
conjunction with the Guarantee
Committee against TV. R. Power,
which was appealed from a Justice
Court to the Superior court, was
■not turned jo by the Justice to
ihe-Clerk of the Court, thus pre¬
senting the case from taking the
i it was intened i| shouid/fhis
<j| um ^e r j
lof the subscribers to the X N.W.
'R. refuse to pay their subscrip¬
tions on a contention the railroad
company failed to comply with
their part of die contract by not
operating a passenger train by the
time they bad agreed to do, claim¬
ing that the train then being oper¬
ated was a mixed train.
At the time the subscriptions were
made fifteen citizens ofWhite coun¬
ty were required to guarantee the
payment of these subscriptions by
a given time, and upon whose
shoulders fell the responsibility of
complying with the subscribers con¬
tract, and the necessity of borrow¬
ing $10,000.00 last December to
meet the unpaid obligation.
The grand jury has been very
busy attending to their usual duties
and the thorough investigation of
some charges of a very serious
nature, and, up to the time we
go to press, we learn that body has
found between forty and fifty true
bills. Possibly the most outrageous
case coming before that body at
this session of the court, will be
presented by a family by the name
of Martin from Towns county.
They walked all the way through
the rain and mud (with the excep¬
tion of seven miles out ofCleveland )
from their humble home. They
came by the way of Tesnatee Gap,
carring babies in their arms, for
fear their mission hpre might be
pome known, hence their lives en¬
dangered, if they attempted to
prpss Urpeoy (Jap,
About six months ago this family
lived in the extreme northern por¬
tion of White county, and their
home invaded by four young men. I
who, they allege, shamefully and,
criminally abused them, and that
a very old lady, said to 9 § years |
old is supposed to have died from
the effects of injuries sustained. J

REPENTANCE
Editor, Cleveland Courier ;
Will you please alow me space
in your paper to speak a few words
I thank God that we as people can
repent of our sins, I am thankful
and glad that I have repented of
that mistake I made in White coun¬
ty, and I know that 1 will never
drink another drop of strong drink.
God knows that I am sorry 1 did
the way I did. I am glad to say
that my heart is right with God.
I haven’t got anything against any¬
body, and noyy yyffuff [ want to do
is get right with the church.
I want to %uy again that I am
done with drink, and what I want
to do is to get up again.
Brethren, J sufe feel a deep call
to preach the gospel. J have a
sweet mother gone to heaven, and
I want to meet her in the home in
glory, and in order to do this I
must do what the Lord wants me
to do. Numbers 10 and 13.
Brothers jLMk please re¬
member me in your prayers, 1
would sure be glad for the church
at Blue Creek to give me anolhef
chance, I knqw (lys'd called
to preach, and J will never drink
any more. But I am going to live
better from now on than I ever did
So I will close, asking the people
to bear with me, and I will never
give them any more trouble. I am
just aa sorry as I can be for the
way 1 have done, but I know I
have repented,
D. F, MORRIS.
Consolidation of Schools Wins.
1 he election held Saturday,
April utli, to determine whether a
majority of the patrons of White
Creek an® new Bridge schools de¬
sired a consolidation of these
schools, “resulted in a majority of
live votes favoring consolidation.
There were eighty votes cast in the
election which was one of much
interest, and', in fact, more than
interest, was taken. So determined
were some in their views that a
fight was narrowly averted.
Officers Get Fifteen Gallons Whiskey.
Saturday night, within the cor¬
porate limits of (lie town of Rob¬
ertstown, officers A. W. Aber¬
nathy, Will Holms and Ed,
1 homas raided a party of men sel¬
ling liquor. At the time the officers
arrived bottles were sitting all
around upon the ground ready to
be filled, and when one of the party
asked one of the officers how much
he wanted, and was told that he
believed he would just take it all,
two of the party consisting of four
made a dash for liberity. One got
away and the other one was caught
and brought back, being Corbin
Ash, who along with the qther
two, Jim and Raleigh Helton,were
placed in custody. A very poor
horse and an almost worthless one
horse wagon, and 15 gallons of
whiskey was taken in charge by
the officers. It appears that cases

jury now in session against the ac¬
