Landmark Mr Shelton of Davidson township raised 12 bushels of wheat on a little over one and one eighth acres That is pretty good and shows what can be done when a man tries Mr A Haithcox of this place bas shown tbe largest apples and pears of anyone yet He has one tree of apples that is very full and nearly all of them will weigh over 8 ounces each He said that he had raised some apples and pears on tbe same trees that weighed over one pound each Wheat threshing is not quite done in this section yet Tbe weather was so bad that some of the threshers quit be fore all the wheat was threshed Crops in general are looking pretty well in this section Protracted meetings are going on at nearly all ofthe churches armers are breaking up their lands preparing for a good a zed crop of wheat next year which is a very good idea It would be much better for the people iu general if we had enough of home made Hour to suppy the home market without using so much West ern flour etc Nute Aug 13 1889 In the trial of the Connelly case here Iasi week and after the verdict tbe de toiinsr i moved for a new trial for certain technical tuntters which motion wa over ruled by the judge They then moved in arrest of judg ment and based the motion on the broad gtouud that there was no law statutory or other iu this State mak ing it iidlelablc for any county oficer as such to use or misapply funds re ceived from individuals that is mon eys received by a clerk of the Superior Court from executors administrators They maintained that sections 1014 and 1016 The Code (these are the only statutes that seem to reach the CuuuHiy cases of misapplication of funds ot his tfficejdo not include breaches of trust by a clerk unless ths fund belonged to the county as set out io section 1016 that the Legislature has never created an offence to correspond with the present case and that it is casus omissus The prosecuting officer maintained that while the Supreme Court has never construed the statutes and had never beaid a case presenting the exact points in this that tbe stat 1 utes especially section 1014 includ ed this class ot cases and that the bill was drawn broad enough to include the class of cases denounced iu either of these sections 1014 or 1016 both of which make the offence a felo ny and if the court should bold that neither of the statutes reached the case and it should turn out to be a clear casus omissus that ia that event tbe bill was good for malfeasance in ojjlcc at common laic The court over ruled the motion in ariest sustaining the bill and the contention and gave judg ment for tw years in the penitentiary but remarked that he was not certain but that the Legislature had failed to reach such a case by legislation De fendant appealed It is singular if tbe Legislature has failed to enact such a law (as it has ev idently tried to do it) and still more singular that no case appears in the records of tbe Supreme Court giving interpretation to the statutes in which a cleik or other county officer has been indicted for conversion of funds placed in his hands as such officer by individ utils It is a matter of universal concern to the whole State and the opinion of the Supreme Court upon tbe appeal will no doubt be looked for with interest es pecially so when by a recent act of tbe Legislature clerks are authorized to re ceive the whole personal effects of dead men upon final settlements tpade by administrators and executors after one year from the qualification of such personal representatives NOTICE Valuable Lands or Sale T'vo Halrlgh
