The 1 first case on the eival docket is llat- ! tie vs Cape Fear Lumber Coinpa- ! ny, which has already been tried 1 once, went to the Supreme Court [ and is back a^ain on the docket for k a new trial. This is likely to be the 1 only civil ease that will be tried at * t ho approach in <r term of court. The c docket is crowded with eases and 1 the next legislature will doubtless ' be asked to provide a special term ' at which all of these matters may be * cleared up. ' On the contingent (locket of the Sessions Court are several easos entered, but none of them will be tried at this term. On the regular dock et of the Sessions Court appear the , following three eases held over from | the last term, to wit: ; The State vs. Kelly Spears and , Molly Spivey charged with adultry. -t The State vs. W. O. Watts char- , jjed with assault and battery. \ The State vs. A. M. flardee. who i is charged with obstructing an of- ( fioer in the discharge of his duty. ] These are the only cases, but it is said that there are a largo number | of new eases arising sinco the last term of the court, and they will take up most of the time. Among the cases to be tried is the , case of the Stato vs. Jesso Jones, who is charged with shooting a Sy rian peddler recently near ' Peach Tree ferry. The Syrian had crossed the ferry and was in the thick woods on this side of the river driving along with his wagon, when he was shot from ambush, and he stated he was robbed while he was lying in wagon sulTering from a wound. Jesse Jones has been in jail ever since being unable to make the required bond His people have employed an attorney to defend him Another ease to be tried is the ease of The State vs. William Green who is charged with Killing another negro at Allentown about one year JLt/o. At that timn thi? ni'irrnns had a hot supper and general carousal, several of thorn getting into a row. William Green is said to have shot the other negro and at once Hod, and lie remained at large until recently when he was captured in Georgetown County. Besidos these cases there are many others of minor interest. MaffUtratcs for llorry.

She was a lady and a Christian, and to that we can add nothing. For about thirty years before her death, Aunt Finma was very much of an invalid and for the past live years has been completely helpless. At times her sulYerini; was severe, still she was never hoard to complain but always expressed her willingness to abide the will of her Lord. Particularly was her trusting faith noticeable At times of oreat trouble or excitement never expressing fear or doubt in any emergency but rather, always admonishing others to pat their faith in God. The last words Aunt Kmma wa^ ever able to utter audiably was just a few hours before her death, when it uncertain whether she was conscious, Imm husband asked, "Kinma are you still trusting in* Jesus?" Her answer, ''Yes" come quickly and with more, power than it was thought possible. The burial took place at the Withers Swash burying ground at noon on August the fourth, The Ucv II K Marlow conduetinir the service. "Though he slay me, yet will I trust him" was the passage of Seriptute from which Mr Marlow deducted his remarks and those' very words seemed to portray the life of the deceased. '^uite a larjje crowd of relatives and friends were present to pay their last tribute of respect to the dead and to comfort the heartbroken husband who was left all alone in the world.
