It has been the rule rather than the exception heretofore for court to hold only a few days of a week's term and not much long er than a week of a two-weeks' term, but Judge Cook has kept the court grinding away up to tne limit He keeps the work moving along and his wit and humor keep the machinery well oiled and everybody in a good humor and in trim for work.
