J. Strauss has everything in
readiness for ensuing term of
district court which convenes
on October 18th.
Thursday was last day for
service for this term and there
are on civil docket 35 new
cases, 21 of which are for di-
\orces; none of the 14 others
are of any special importance,
being for foreclosure of iiens,
partition of estates, removal of
disabilities etc.
On dockets from previous
terms there were left undis-
posed of 31 civil cases, 17 of
which are for divorces. Many
of these old cases will doubt-

and sufficient reasons.
