Around The Court House.

The County Board of Equalization met ana organized Monday morning; It consists of the three County Commissioners, Hons. Prevo, Nichols and Tabor, who are members, ex-officio, and of Messrs. J. T. Randle, H. W. Wood, Lucius Strong and Lemuel Shortridge, appointed by the Judge of the Circuit Court. Judging from the large number of property owners who are applying to have their assessments equalized, and the progress already made, Board has a big task .before it, which is likely to consume many days. < The regular work of the Commissioners’ Court can not be taken up until the Equalizers complete their labors. In the saloon case of J. G. Reynolds remonstrance has been filed by Rev. David Handley, and there is an interesting fight in prospect. The case was set for this, Thursday, afternoon, but will not likely be reached by that time, THE CIRCUIT COURT. In the Circuit Court* most of the State cases upon the docket have been continued, but tlie following have been otherwise disposed of: David Hamilton, malicious trespass, dismissed. Chas. Wiseman, intoxication in a public place; plea of guilty, and a tine of $1 and costs. Total $16.15. Louis. Mosier, (the Keener, tpshot gun case) assault; plea of guilty, and a fine of sl, and costs.
