It is a ' ba?y timo with our farmers, and 1 they ?ee:n to realize the fact that ' their preseree is required at home just now.

A true bill has been rendered in the case of the State against Frank M Player for breach of trust with fraudulent iutent. When this case was called for trial, the defendant being absent, his attorney, LeRoy Lee, Esq., explained to the court that j he had received information that: i his client, who is on bond, was j sick at his home, whereupon : Judge Watts by request of the so- J licitor,issued a bench warrant and > sent alter the defendant, not deetniug his excuse valil without the certificate ot a physieiun. II is Honor also instructed the sheriff to have Doctor j W. G. Gamble accompany him I to examine into Mr. Players condition and, if necessary, give hi**' the required certificate. Several hours later the sheriff returned with Mr. Player, Dr Gamble certifying that while Mr. Player*# vi J tality was somewhat reduced as a result of influenza, he did not I think it to tmneri! tllCi latter'* life or to jeopardize hi*! health. The case will be tried to-morrow morning. We learn that Mexori.
