Fkikrso.v, Jan. 11. This week pre.
scuts no social topic for me to dwell up
on, so I will bave to write upou a legal
one. The lawsuit between Davidson,
Napier and Duke, was tried before
K-q. Geo. N. McKeunou, Saturday, at
V. M. Grey's store. This suit was quite
a complicated one. Duke first sueu Dr.
Davidson tor damage done his aud
Napier's crop by stock, on account of
bad fencing, which according to his
testimony the doctor proposed to mku
good. Davidson then sued Napier for
balance due on reuu Southall and
I'adgHt were tho attorney's, the former
fur Duke aud the latter for Davidson.
It apiwarcd to be a jollification rather
than a lawsuit, for the house was
crowded witli jollv spectators and the
contestant themselves were in high
spirits. About a dozen witnesses
were sworn and right amusing was it
when the lawyers cross questioned
some of them. ""The J t'n. Fat" asked
a witness which he thought best f ir
poMtoes; for cattle to tiaino them or to
plow theai, aud whether the tii.s fitt
ing tho tops uA stopped the potatoes
frnni growing; another ne asked how
many potatoes he made on the pli.ee
una Uie negro replied "1 (lou t know
Sii'i eating I aidt never dug eiu." I
c jiisiutieoT all the time from 11 until
t o'clock hearing the testimony. .o
decision was rendered that afteruomi.

Editor Heuald: When a boy I
often wondered why it was so neces
sary for all men to go to town on tirst
Monday. Audi frequently woudeied
why ihisday was more important lhn
second or third Monday. Tills thought
agaiu suggested itself last Monday
wnile watching the busy throng upou
our streets. A few moments study will
solve the question and give us all an
additional interest iu the day. It is
not one of those days made sacred by
some great deed or mighty change or
revolution, but a dav mutually agreed
upon by sober-minded citizens to meet
lor tue i urpose ol trading and pulling
shape to business. Tins custom ol
meeting ou nrst Monday Is not con

of the county seats near us and enjoy

mule market in the world, lends ad
ditional attraction to men of means
seeking profitable investments. Last
Monday we had an annual gathering of
farmers, merchants, mechanics, traders
and in tact every avucatiou aud pro
fession was well represented. I will
not attempt to estimate all the good
done or detail the drawbacks of the
day. But just here I wish to uotice one
sale that was ot considerable btnelii, al
though only one mule was sold at a very
reasonable prb-e. The mule changed
hands about 1 o'clock, and by 4 o'clock
1 learned that the money for'that tuulo
had paid six debts; and "I am satisfied
it diu uot stop there. If this is au aver
age case and 1 believe it is there
were enough mules and hors-s kfrn
