He is a recent graduate of the Florida University law school, and assisted in the de fense of Mr. J. S. Burns in Coffee superior court, charged with mur der. Last Saturday was the time for regular September monthly term of the Justice Court for the 1.130 th (Pearson) Militia District, There was no business I ransactcd owing to the absence of parties and w it nesses at a special term of Ordi nary’s Court at Douglas. Judge Levi O'Steen was present from 1 )ouglas. Sheriff Perry Leo. of Clinch county, came to Pearson last Sat urday night in search of a man and woman who were wanted for a misdemeanor. The man could not be found but the woman was in the employ of the Hotel Malone as a cook. In his search for the pat ties wanted the Sheriff got into a room where two lads were sleeping and threw his flashlight into their faces. It, of course, aroused them and. it is said, they proceeded to “cuss him out.” Even officers of the law get themselves out of place sometimes. The woman was ar rested and carried back to lloincr villc. Messrs. William C. Patterson’s and Isaac S. Owen’s claims for cx emption from ’military duty have been denied by the District Board at Savannah.

For five years after the people vote in the constitutional amendment creating (he county, it will have no court house or jail. Represen tative C. E. Stewart, now of Coffee County, but who will be from At kinson, is here today, and his ex planation is this: “We expect to make a mark on the map of Geor gia. For the first five years the new county is going to devote itself to building good roads, and after that we will lake up the mat ter of a court house and jail. Not only is that because of the fact that we really don't expect to have much need for them but the Pear son authorities have donated to the county the use of the high school building for five years as a courthouse. We are not going to build a jail, but will use (ho jail either at Way-cross or Douglas, botli of which are near by.—Macon Telegraph. xxx x x The cheapest and best plan that Atkinson county can follow is to vote a bond issue for roads and pub lic buildings at the earliest possi ble moment. Otherwise they will have neither for a long time. Bond money is cheaper than borrowed money. It looks as though Coffee County would investigate this question.—Coffee County Progress. XXX X X These are among Hie earliest recommendations for the officials of the new county to act upon. Just what policy will be adopted the Tribune cannot predict at this early date, but it is sure a policy will be adopted that will be safe and sane. They should try to profit by the mistakes made in other new counties. MORTON -JAMES. The marriage of Miss Lillian Morton to Harry It.
