The Petersburg electric light and power company haye filed suit in the circuit court against the Town of Petersburg for failure to comply with the terms of contract, in that the town refuses to pay &ai<V company's bills for supplying electric light for the town. The town owes the company $1,125 for lighting. Thej case will probably be tried at this term, and a great deal of interest Is manifested in the outcome of it. The Jasper Courier in speaking of the recent term of the circuit court of that county pays Judge Ely the following compliment for his energy and esdeayors to lessen the court expenses : The expense of the last term of Dubois Circuit court lies mostly In the taw, and not in any of the officers. Court held night sessions several times ip order to expedite business, and did not adjourn till about midnight on the last day. Judge Ely did all he could, after examining the docket, to lessen expense, as did all other court officers. There were 167 suits disposed of in the 80 days—an average of nearly six each day, and over half of these were contested actions—so it will readily be seen , that these, in addition to the regular oversight of reports in decedents’ and guardians' estates, were enough tQ keep any jud^e as busy as a bee in clover time,
