Judge Sink wrote Judge Town send explaining that he was willing to open the term of court, but that due to the serious nature of his mother's illness he might have to break up the court if she took a turn for the worse. In his statement Judge Town send said that in view cf the men tal worry that Judge Sink must feel in connection with his mother's illness it had been decided to re lievC him of the Gaston court and he will not be assigned any addit ional court until he feels that his> mother's condition will warrant his being away from her.

The potatoes had been dug but a few were overlooked. After making his nest as comfortable as he could in this place he rolled several potatoes in it and began set ting. After missing him from the yard for several days Mr Cabaniss started hunting for him and found him setting. Thinking he would break him from the nest Mr. Cabaniss threw him off the nest and roil ed a stump in it.
