The C!ii ’riT Couftt. -Court ad - jourued last Thursday and opened again this morning. A short dock- ■ etmakes-long faee,s-for the hawyers. You can’t be a legal vote r, at any election, until you have res ided six months in th? state, sixty days in the township, and thirty days in the precinct. Harvey E. Parkison is the re- ( publican candidate for trustee in Hanging Grove township. He is an excellent man and. sure to be elected. The repubiiea-fts of Union township have got out a full ticket and have wisely placed the name of Stephen T. Cornier at its Jpead, for tiustee. Union is close, but we heli eve Mr. Comer will “get there.” He deserves to at any rate, for he is just the man for the place. t Mr. AV. H. Sayler having declined the noiiination Ur justice of -11. AV ‘ dctermin;.don not io accept a reelection, the (madmen of the republican precinct committees of the Township, llave placed upon the ticket to all the vacancy. Declines the Nomination.-Mr. AV. H. Sayler requests us to thank the republican voters of Marion townshi p for the honor they conferred upon him, in the nomination for justice of the peace, but also wisj es us to say that his business interests are of such a character as to compel him to positively decline th© domination. The .democrats .of Marion township held their township convention at the court house, last Saturday afternoon, immediately after the adjournment of the county convention. N. S. Bates, L. K. Yeoman and AVm. Hoover, were all put toward as candidates . for the exceedingly empty honor of a nomination for township trustee. Mr. Bates was . nOmiuat >d cm tlie second ballot. A wise choibe, inasmuch as he has figured so often in the role of a defeated candidate that he hits really grown to like it. Only one horn in a tion was made for j ustice ortho peace: A. H. Wood, the independent republican Candidate. Daniel W. Duvall, John Minicus and Henry Zull were nominated dor constables. ...

The Democratic Convention.

The Democrats of Jasper county held their mass convention, at the Court House, last Saturday afternoon. The meeting will, probably* be reported by the organ of the party, as large and enthusiastic, or words to that effect, but at no time were there as many as seventy-five persons in the room, and a largo sprinkling of them were Republican spectators, and nearly all of the remainder were from Marion township. Converted Greenbacker-once-a-republi can, C. H, Price, called the meeting to order and made a short speech, Characterized by some wit, but more profanity. Converted Greenbacker-once-a-repub-lican, Hon. G. H. Brown, was nominated chairman of the convention by erat, Mr. E. C. Nowels. The last named gentleman also-nominated the secretary of the meeting, Dr. F. P. Bitters, and, m fact, ruu the convention from beginning to end, except when some ,of the boys stole a mar ch on him, and got in a little work while he was bossing the work of a committee, in the jury room. Mr. Price was indiscreet enough to suggest that the roll of townships be called, which was done, by Mr.Nowels, of course, and by that means it was ascertained that no representatives whatever were present from any of the townships except Gillam, Barkley, Newton, Union and Marion, and most of them had not . more'than one or twa representatives J present. On motion of Mr. Price, a committee of five was appointed to make up the campaign committees for the various townships, and, as Mr. Price ( declined to serve, Mr. Nowels, “of course,” was made head and front bf the committee. Mr. Nowels, and his obedient subordinates, then retired to tiie jury room, and although their absence evidently left the house without a quorum, “the boys,” under the leadership of Mr. E. P. Honan, being released from the restraining, influence of Mr. Nowels’ severe and earnest eye, began to feel their oats a little, and to run the' convention on their own hook; and proceeded to the selection of delegates to the various conventions, with the following result: To the State convention: Messrs. E. G. Nowels, J. G. Culp, Fred Hoover and Franci s Lakin. To the congressional and judicial conventions: Messrs. J. W. Douthit, Dr. Loughridge, Jariies’Yfcomafi, T , resley Davis and— Austin, of Carpenter. Mr. Nowels, and his committee, then brought in the list of township committees, after the reading of which, Mr. Honan arose and asked for an explanation of the duties of “that committee.” The president, and Mr. Nowels, evidently thought that. Mr. Human had asked ' them “something hard” that time. A gentleman on the front platform, who seemed to be suffering from a severe attack or “malaria,” was very persistent in interrupting the convention, and now arose and wanted to know- if “this committee can select a successor?” The 'convention gave it up. They could not see what the malarious gentleman was ) trying to get at, no more, perhaps, than i than he could himself. It goes without saying that Mr. | Nowels was made chairman of thecoun-i ty central committee, ami of which J W. Douthit was made secretary. Mr. Honan expressed a desire for a little “inspiration,” as he called it, from Mr. Nowels, whereupon that gentleman made a few remarks, saying, among other tilings, that he was convinced that the democrats of the county would elect at least seven out of the thirteen township trustees, at the approaching eleclion.

A Divorce Case.

i. WA»w...inyW. A (.livorce was grante«l,.. last Thursiiay, in the Circuit Court, to IdaCE. Hurley from Theodore J. Hurley, on the grounds of cruel treatment, abondomnent and failure to provide. Mrs. Hurley’s maiden name was Ida E; Cavinder, and she was married to the defendant, in Barkley township, on. or about Uro 22nd of November, 1881, she being at the time about 16 or 17 years of age. One child, Elma L. Hurley, who died in June, 1883, was the fruit of this union. According to the plaintiff’s bill of complaint, the defendant not only-failed to provide any support for herself and child during the lifetime of the latter, or for herself after the child’s death; but, furthermore, on the day of January, 1882, and at divers other times, he “abused, cursed and maltreated” the petitioner, and “then and there struck her, called her divers indecent and profane names, and treated- her in all manner indecently and disrespectfully.” The defendant, Hurley, by his attorney, denied “each and every material allegation” of the plaintiff’; but the court, after hearing the evidence, granted the divorce, with permission to the plaintiff to resume her ma idea name; which last she did not retain long enough to 4 be of much use to her, es she was majried again on the second day after the divorce was granted. ‘
