Supgrior Court. i
The fall term of Jeff Davis
S,npegifi}“()fufi convened Yoo
Monday morning last, with
Judge T. A. Qarker presiding,
and Solicitorr J,' H. Thomas look
ing after the inteéresf of the state.
The Judge's charge to the
Grand Jury demonstated, con
clusively, that he wanted this
body to find bills agaimst law
violators whenever they hacd
sufficient cvidence before them
to warrant a bill, and that he
would do the rest. His charge
was a master effort, and we dare
say, met the approval of all law
;vbiding citizons within his hear
ng. .
Monday was what you might
term divorce day, for most of
the day was taken up in trying
divorce cases, _
Tuesday the criminal docket
was taken up, and as there are
four murder cases to be tried &t
this term they will probably con
gume the entire week,
The following attorneys, are
here in attendance:.
Cols. J. B. Moore, W. W. Ben
nett, H. D. Williams, J. F. High
smith and A, V. Sellars, of the
Baxley bar; Col. John. W. Ben
nett, Wayvecross; Cols. C. A.
Ward, Levi Osteen, Judge W.C,
Langferd, Judge F. Willis Dart,
of the Douglas bar; Col. J. F. De-
Lacy, Eastman, Ga, Cel. J. M.
Denton, Denton, Ga. The local
Bar was revesented by Cols.
H, A.King, S. D.. Dell, P. &
Smith, J. H. Parier, R. B. P’rice,
and Jas. R. Grant.
We will give a full list of the
cases tried at this texm, in our
next issue, and the dispositon
mmade of them.
The big clock in the tower of
of the court house has been stop
ped for several days, owning to
something had gone wrong with
it. On Saturday last Messrs.
0. W. Clark and S. F. Leßoy as
cended to the tower to regulate
it, and had finished their work—
as they thought—but decided to
remain in the tower for a few
moments and watch the clock, te
see that it was runningall right
before they came down. Als of
4 sudden the cable that was held
ing the 80CC pound stricking
weight broke, and the weight
came tearing through the ceiling
to the second floor, making an
awful noise and {frightening
everybody who happened to be
in the building at that time. It
was fortunate that noone was
hurt. It will take 3500 to repair
the damage done to the building
py the falling weight, and we
dare say, that it wili be quite
awhile before our people wili
hear the court house clock strike
again. e
We had fondly hoped—yea,
firmly believed —that this weel:'s
issue of The News wou!d have
been printed on the big press,
but owning to the illness of the
gentleman who was to come and
put the press up for us, huve
been disappeinted. However,jour
son is here now from Florida—-
came up to pay us a visit—and
he understands these kind of
presses, so lie hag linked right
. dewn to it, and we hope that it
will be in ranning order by rext
week. We told him upon
his arrival, that he could go to
work and put up the press, and
visit us afterwards, So Le took
tisateur wordand jerked L s
‘coat off and went at ic.
