Chathaaiites Complimented. It is always a pleasure for The Record to note any compliments paid our former countymen who are now residing in other States or counties In last Sunday's is sue of the Charlotte Observer is a "write-up"-of the session of the Western North Carolina Con ference, held last week at Win ston, from which we are pleased to copy the following compliment to three of our former county- men: "Rev M. B. Clegg has finish ed his four years' pastorate on the Crouse work. He has taken 160 members into the church and built in the town of Crouse a handsome Methodist church. He and his brother, Rev. J. W. Clegg, are both choice men and good preachers. "Rev. W. F. Wombleisa four year man. He has had a fine four years' pastorate at Morgan -ton.

Bur- i f t -r-v T i gess, w jn. LMxon, J. j ranK Cook. W. B White, J. F. Stone and R. M. Clark.. The judge's charge to the grand jurors was a clear and con cise explanation of their duties and the responsibilities devolv ing upon them and was heard with close attention bv them and the bystanders. Solicitor Stack was promptly at his post of duty and began the prosecution ot the cases on the criminal docket, and th j follow ing were disposed of : . State against K. R. Baum; in dicted for false pretense; de fendant pleads nolo contendere and judgment suspended on pay ment of costs. State asrainst J. C. Lightning- burg; larceny; defendant pleads guilty and sentenced to the roads of Ansoncounty fer six months. State against James Cruteh-j field; assault with deadly weap on: defendant pleads guilty and ined $10 and costs. State against Dock Gotten; as sault with deadly weapon; de fendant pleads guilty of simple assault and judgment suspended on payment of costs. State against Dave Horton; as sault with deadly weapon; defendant-pleads guilty and sen tenced to pay the prosecutor and a fine of $15 and costs. State against Jean Farrell; as sault with deadly weapon; de fendant pleads guilty and judg ment suspended on payment of costs. State against George Pittman; carrying concealed weapons, de fendant pleads guilty and sen tenced to jail for six months with leave for county commissioners to hire out to pay costs. State against Laura Leach; disturbing public worship; ver dict of not guilty. State against Henry De Graf fenreidt; trespass; defendant pleads guilty and fined $15 and costs. The most important criminal case was that of the State against Dixie Alston, colored, who was indicted for burning the stable and barn of Mr. R. R. Smith, in Hadley township, on the night of the 25th of last May. This trial attracted much attention, and, at the close of the evidence, the judge said he did not think the evidence was sufficient to convict the defendant and he was discharged and a nol pros entered. Another case that attracted much attention was the hearing of the application by John Cheek for the custody of his five-year- old daughter, he and his wife having separated some time ago and she, having retained the child- After hearing much evi dence the judge refused to take the child from the mother but ordered that the father might visit it whenever he wished No civil cases were tried but several were disposed of by com promise and other .vise.
