COUNTY VOLUME XIII ■ 1 P /, Monday Judge Albert Cowper ©f Kinston opened and closed Jones . j' 'Counter Superior Court quickly but firmly. ‘Two uncontested divonees were granted and litigation over ownership of a Tuckahoe Township Farm was non-suited because the complaint failed to state a cause of action. . Two divorces — each on grounds of two-year separation went to Violet Marie Eubanks Messer from Edward Messer and to Radhel Bui lock Smith from Jerry Milland Smith. •' The land litigation was between Ethan Mills against Wesley Jones and Raiford Blizzard, the latter ~Atwo trading as Jones & Blizzard. A voluntary non-suit was taken in this action which stems from a transaction brftween Mills and the team of Jones and B)izzar<l. Mills claimed in his complaint that he had given what he thought to be a mortgage on his farm for a debt owed to Jones and Blizzard, and it later developed that he had signed a deed - rather than a mort gage. Judge Cowper says the non-suit at this time does not prevent Mills re-instituting his suit, but it will be necessary to pay the court costs that accumulated in, the non-suited action before another suit can be filed. Since a special very re of Craven County jurors was summoned to ar the jfctipn th^s week, th<e bill dollars,, which lengthens the doubt that- further action is likely.
