Since a republican must have it, North Carolina has no kick to make over the appointment of Judge Pritchard as the successor of Judge Simonton. His party did not have a better man for the place.

Four young men purchased a body of land on the suburb of the city for They divided the land in lots and in just three weeks after the purchase had an auction sale. At this sale enough lots were dis- posed of to pay the purchase price for the entire tract, and they had enough land left to be worth more at the same rates of that sold. This shows the profit in handling real estate judiciously. We believe such deals could be made, on a smaller scale, in any progressive town.

The ease was that of State vs. John Tipton, a resident of West End. Mr. Tip- ton was charged with assault on a woman through a cow. Accord- to the evidence Mrs. Cole- man was leading her cow through Mr. premises, the latter told her to get off and take cow with her. The man did not think that Mrs. Coleman was obeying his com- with sufficient dispatch, so he kicked the cow in the side. The animal lunged forward, the woman and knocking her down. Mrs. Coleman's husband later swore out a warrant for Tipton, charging him with assault. The case was tried before Judge Jones and Tipton was found guilty. judge did not put a fine on the defendant, as the assault was indirect affair, but allowed him to go his way upon payment of the costs.

She met the man and, though ids conduct was inexcusable, did not neap recriminations on his head, but like a sensible woman that she undoubtedly is, calmly told him that she would not condemn him until she had beard him and if he could justify his conduct with a good excuse she would return with him as he requested. This he failed to do to her faction, and as calmly dismissed him told him that they would have to continue apart.
