With the present number The High lander enters on the second year of its existence ; it is yet only a bantling in size as well as in age, but we hope that it holds within it the promise of future growth as well as of greater usefulness. Its mod est sheet 'goes out weekly with the pur pose of conveying such local and general news as may be interesting to the dwel ers in and about this town, as well as of helping in its small way the spread of in formation regarding Western North Car olina,. and particularly Highlands. In political questions it takes no part, but it will, wo hone, always be found on the side of progress in education, in morality in social conditions, in agriculture, etc. etc., and in the love for and appreciation of all that is beautiful and all that is good. MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING IN 1886. ; "Dost thou not suspect my place ? Dost thou not suspect my years? I am a wise fellow, and which is more an officer, and which is more a householder, and one that knows the law, go to ; and a rich fellow enough, go to ; and a fellow that hath had losses, and one that hath two gowns, and everything handsome about him." Shak. The Asbeville Citizen in the persons of its editors was a few days since summon ed before Judge Shuford of the Inferior Court of Buncombe, on a charge of con tempt of court, based upon the publica tion on July 28 of the following mildly facetious paragraph : Hanging the Juries. "Judge Shuford's Inferior court seems to be playing the mischief with its lunes It adjourned Monday evening with two hung juries. Now if they would- hang the court and the bar and all the plaint iffs and defendants, we really do not know but that the country would be helped. However, we would really re gret having some of our friends tied up." To whatever cause owing, the dignity of this august court would seem to re quire emphatic self-assertion,. On the day after the case had been partly heard, two other short articles which had ap peared in the Citizen of July 29, were likewise taken exception to, and for all three the editors were adjudged guilty of contempt, and sentenced to pay a fine of $300. Determined however to assert and maintain the rights of a free press, and feeling assured that the Judge com mitted a grave error, they will carry the case to a higher court. 1 The Asbeville Citizen says : "Our ex cellent friend the Highlander is evident ly m trouble. He cannot leave his sanc tum without treading upon Microstvlis ophioglossoides ; Liparis liliifoha," Sec, Sec, giving a number more such names, and ending thus, "and he in a 'dry town' at that." We thank our friendly neighbour for his sympathy, which we beg to return in kind ; we do not know whether the "dry town" has anything to do with it, but certainly Mi crostyli8 opliioglossoides, alarming though it looks, is not nearly so danger ous as the Inferior court, and even Gyvi- naaema tnuentata does not insist upon jeing respected to the amount of $300.
