J. Adams Presiding Docket Heaviest for Some Time. With 153 cases already entered on the criminal docket and a probabil ity of that number being increased to 200 before court is over, the in dications are that the January term of Gaston County Superior Court, which convenes next. Monday, will liave more work to do than any term for several months past. Of the cases docketed tour are capital ases. Three of these will come up for trial, the defendant in the touith ase being still at large. The capi tal cases are as follows: Slate vs. Marshall Smith, white, rape; fctaie vs. Gilbert P. .Melton, white, murder; State vs. George bird, colored, mur der; State vs. Arthur Hardin, color ed, murder. Hardin has not been Apprehended and this. case, of course, will not be for trial. Judge W. J. Adams will preside M this term. The first week is for the trial of criminal cases and the second for the trial of civil cases. However, if many of the criminal ases are contested, as will likely be the case, more than a' week will be required to dispose of tne criminal docket, leaving only a small part of week for civil cases. It is probable that a large crowd will be in attendance at this term. This is certain to be the case should the weather continue as it is at present. HERRYVILLE, ROUTE 3. NEWS.

Inna HArtinna at thm flniiittwtai' sonal Mention of People Tsj Know and Some You Doat MONT HOLLY WENT FORWARD. Much Building Dnne During 191ft Southern Power Company's Bis; . Plant Completed Limits ExteaO ed and Population Increased Home Immediate Needs. Correspondence of The Gazette. MT. HOLLY, Jan. 14. During the past year Mt. Holly has grown, at least from the building view point. Many new residences and other improvements were begun and finished or else finished. The resi dences represent a monied consider ation of from a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars. In these we Bee the finished products of the ar chitect's art. The most gigantic piece of work was the completion of the Southern Power Company's steam plant, an auxiliary for the water plant. It is a 10,000 horse-power plant situated upon the Catawba river, near the town. It represents an expenditure of $250,000 I am told. Regardless of the amount, for one to see the machinery, the magnitude and thor oughly equipment, he will see that a few thousand dollars could not have assembled and put into operation surh massive machinery. This has been qiilte an addition to our town, and is worth seeling. , The town Is operating under a new charter, which went Into effect Juiy A. The charter gives the board of aldermen enlarged power, and they can submit to a vote of the people what Internal improvements may he needed. The new charter extended the incorpoate limits so that now we can boast of an increased popula tion. The town is lighted by a quarter hundred electric lights of sixty or more candle power. At night the effect is not dazzling, but is as bright as the Southern Power Com pany can make It, with the globe that is used. As a progressive town we need cement or brick sidewalks, water and sewerage and there Is not a town in Gaston county with such an excellent location, for Dutchman's creek runs through the northern part of town and half a mile off empties Into Catawba river. We need a Chamber of Commerce or a committee of busy, pushing, public-spirited men, who will look out for new enterprises and locate them If possible. Today we need a spirit of "get-together, pull togeth er and hold together." Such a spir it will deliver the goods. Cherryville Chat. The Eagle. 15th.
