Superior Court
Adjourns For Term
The second week of Wheeler
superior court convened Mon
day morning, continuing through
the day, adjourning for the term
Some few criminal cases were
disposed of, but the business of
the court was cut short. The
weather is ideal for farming and
no doubt this fact had its influ
ence on the court and hastened
an end.
The grand jury reconvened
Monday and completed their
deliberations Tuesday after
noon. Judge Graham came over
and adjourned court at the con
clusion of the reading of the
grand jury presentments.
Any motorist who thinks laws
are not enforced in America
should try parking alongside a
fire hydrant.
