SUPERIOR COURT
CONVENES MONDAY
On Account of Important Busi¬
ness Judge Park Has Re¬
called the Grand Jury.
Mitchell Superior court wil con¬
vene next Monday morning for a
special term and a number of
important cases are docketed for
trial.
At the time of adjourning the
October term Judge Park fixed
this date for the holding of a
special term at which such crimi¬
nal cases as were not disposed of
at the October term would be tried
and also for the taking up of the
civil docket. He dismissed the
Grand Jury and Petit Juries and
ordered that a new panel of
travel's jurors be draw r n to try the
cases at this term. Recently,
however, it seems that business of
of importance, demanding the at¬
tention of the Grand Jury, has
been called to his attention and
the October Grand Jury has been
ordered to re assemble on Monday
for the purpose of transacting any
business brought before them.
The docket is crowded with
business and it is the Judge's in¬
tention to clear it as soon as pos¬
sible.
Below we publish Judge Park’s
order, calling on the Grand Jury
to reassemble:
At Chambers,
Morgan, Ga.
It being made to appeaar to the
Judge of the Superior court of
Mitchell county that it is neces¬
sary to have a special term of said
court for the purpose of trying
new criminal business, and the
Grand Jury having been dis¬
charged at the last term of said
court, and only the traverse jurors
having been required by order
to appear for the disposition
of business already on the docket.
It is ordered that the Grand
Jurors who served at the previous
term report for duty at the special
term on Monday, the 13th day of
December, 1909 , for the purpose of
transacting any business that may
be required of them by law, and
traverse jurors ordered to appear
for the regular term will remain in
attendance during said special
term for the trial of any business
at that term.
Let this order be placed upon
the minutes of Mitchell Superior
Court and he published in the of¬
ficial gazette of Mitchell county.
This 7th day of December, 1909.

Late Crop of Tomatoes.
Rev. E. M. Whiting was show¬
ing some very fine tomatoes on the
streets Wednesday which had just
ripened iu his garden. His fond¬
ness for tomatoes led him to ex¬
periment with a late crop and
notwithstanding the recent dry
weather he has been successful in
raising some as fine specimens as
ever seen here in the summer.
He set out the plants some time
ago and has since protected them
from the chilly night winds by
turning a barrell over each plant.
When the days were warm he left
them exposed to the sunshine and
they thrived as if planted in regu¬
lar season.
Mr. Whiting is proud of his
his success as a gardener and
thinks he has proved that home¬
grown tomatoes are a possibility iu
this section up to Christmas.
Partnership Dissolved.
The firm of Holton & Perry was
dissolved by mutual consent last
Wednesday, Mr. S. J. Holton
taking over Mr. Leon Perry’s in¬
terest in the livery business con¬
ducted by the firm.
Mr. Holton will continue the
business himself, with the assis¬
tance of his son, Mr. Cap. Holton,
who has been holding a position
as bookkeeper in a bank in Macon.
Mr. Perry, we understand, con¬
templates leaving the city.

X. Y. Z. Club Entertained.
Mrs. W. F. Cullens entertained
theX. Y. Z. club at her home on
Thursday afternoon from three to
five o’clock.
The house was beautifully
decorated for the occasion. On a
table in the parlor was placed a
miniature Christmas tree gorgeous
with tinsel, pink and blue balls
and laden with the tiniest of
of Christmas toys. To each toy
was attached a bow of colored
ribbon. Each guest was given a
tiny bow of ribbon which she
matched with the one of corres¬
ponding color on the tree and
found her favor in that way.
Tables were arranged in the
parlor for trail and quite an en¬
joyable game was played. Dishes
of salted almonds were placed
arround on the tables. A very
delicious two course luncheon was
served after the game, after which
the pleased and happy guests took
leave, extending their thanks to
Mrs. Cullens for a most delightful
afternoon.
Mr. J. H. Powell Hurt.
Mr. J. H. Powell was painfully
last Monday morning by a
from his buggy while driving
along the road a short distance
from Mr. Jessie Cochran’s place,
about two miles east of Camilla.
A shower of rain came up as he
was returning home from Cotton,
and he stood up in his buggy to
put on his overcoat. His horse,
which was walking along slowly,
stumbled about the time he got on
his feet and, losing his balance,
he fell out of the buggy on to the
wheels.
For a short w hile he was ren¬
dered unconscious by the fall.
When he revived he managed,
though] quite painful, to walk
to Mr. Cochran’s home, where his
injuries were given attention and
Dr. Lewis summoned from Camilla.
The physician pronouced him
suffering from a fractured collar
bone, a badly sprained shoulder
and numerous bruises.
He was brought to his home in
Camilla and is now considerably
improved.
Furniture Company Expands.
In addition to their large store
room on Scott street, the Camilla
Furniture Co. have rented the
handsome two-story building from
Mr. I. Berman, next door to Ber¬
man Bros. Co’s, big establishment
on Broad street, and will open up
a large stock there about the first
of January.
From Mr. Hay, whose energy
and attractive business methods
as manager of the company is
largely responsible for its success
here, we learn that the company
will increase the stock carried in
Camilla by adding a line of bug¬
gies and waggons to their furni¬
ture business.
The Broad street store will be
used exclusively for their furni¬
ture department and retail busi¬
ness, while in the old store will be
displayed their stock of vehicles,
together with such bulky furni¬
ture as cannot be handily stored
in the new building.
Mr. Hay informs us that their
business has been entirely
satisfactorly this year, exceeding
their highest expectations, and
that they are well pleased with
this location.
Dr. David Bennett Dead.
Hews was received here last
Friday that Dr. David Bennett, of
Richmond, Ky., had died the day
before in an Atlanta sanitarium
from heart failure.
This will be sad news to many of
our people who remember Dr,
Bennett pleasantly as the affable
gentleman who spent several weeks
in Camilla recently in the hope
that he would be benefited by our
climate.
He came to Camilla in company
with Dr. M. C. Heath, and they
intended spending the winter in
South Georgia and Florida.
Recently, however, his health
demanded that he enter a sanita¬
rium and he went to Atlanta,
where he died Thursday, of last
week.
Rev. E. M. Whiting returned
Tuesday evening from the meeting
of the South Georgia Methodist
conference at Waynesboro. He has
been returned to this charge for
another year, as was confidently
expected, and his members and
the townspeople, generally, are
well pleased.
