h Let us meditate thoughtfully on ig]
ls the following observations with re- w(
d gard to our personal religion: ttl
.i A r\"D A n AD A XT TTDT TDTO ttt
it A UAAU, UIV u r JU1X' X ; VV
Is religion ever a drag on us? hi:
Some people, make it so. The Chris- an
ld tian who is trying to get along with as
just as little religion as conscience nc
Le will permit, finds that little a bur- of]
v. den. Religion will not be treated
that way without protesting. If we
1_ do not give it first place, it is likely
w to remind us unpleasantly of its pres e
ence. As a preacher recently put it, of
>f "Some people try to carry their rer
ligion; others let their religion carry B?
them." The person who has given
r_ the second plan a fair trial wonders gj.
,y why he ever staggered along under si(
the old load. It is like carrying the ve
weight of a heavy deflated balloon co
' on our backs when we might let the
balloon carry its own weight and our- tr,
selves besides. Seeking God first
y never made life harder for anyone. se
y If our religion is burdensome, let us an
ie try lightening it by adding to it.? p

The criminal cases of the presenl

ken up Saturday morning.
The first case tried was that of H,
Faust, of Denmark, against th
tlantic Coast Line Railroad. The
lit was for $650 damages for the
lrning of a barn and stables, set oe
e by an engine of the company,
le jury returned a verdict for the
aintiff for $225.
The case of the Cotton Oil Comtny,
of this city, against the South
n Kanway was witnarawn irurn tue
rv by the judge, with leave to the
irties to make certain amendments,
lis was a suit for something over
,000 for cotton seed destroyed by
e when the gin house of Mrs. May;ld
at Lees was burned.
The case of C. W. Rentz against
e Southern railroad resulted in a
rdict for Mr. Rentz for $472.75.
lis was an action for damages to
r. Rentz's farm just below town on
count of the railroad obstructing
e flow or water and backing water
i his crops. The case was tried
t? once before and the railroad
pealed to the Supreme Court. No
ubt the road will pay the verdict
thout further litigation.
An interesting suit that has been

impton and G. B. Clayton. This
is suit for recovery of land. The
it was dismissed.
In the case of Mrs. M. E. Edwards

F. Carter, Esq., representing the
ilroad, directed the jury to return
verdict of $8.75 for the plaintiff.
Presentment of the Grand Jury.
To the Honorable G. W. Gage, preling
judge:
We beg leave to report that! we
ive examined the trial justices and
eir books.
We find numbers of irregularities
it nothing criminally wrong. We
id that their system of book-keepg
is not in accordance with blanks
id docket furnished them by the
unty. They have promised that in
ture they will keep them in accordnMfh
fnrms nrnvidod.
We examined the office and books
the master and find them neatly
id systematically kept.
We have examined the office and
?oks of the probate judge and find
> system in his methods of keeping
s books, we find several documents
several years' standing that have
?t been indexed. We find entries
ade by others than the probate
dge that are very illegible. It is
ssible that he has not been furnled
with the proper books, and
5 recommend that if such is
e case that they be supplied,
e find that the windows to
s office are in bad repair
id should be repaired at once,
evil disposed persons would have
? difficulty in gaining access to his
Ice and valuable documents.
Respectfully submitted,
W. S. BAMBERG, Foreman.
