Store Changes
Location After
Over 35 Years
The Hines Drug Company has
moved from the old location to the
Batte building, formerly occupied
by the Watson Food Store, which
vacated the place last Summer.
The building was recntly remodel-
ed, with a new front and a con-
crete floor, with other improve-
ments also.
With the moving of this store,
it changes location after having
been over 35 years in one place,
rlthough the name of the firm has
changed several times. For many
years it was operated by the late
C. S. Stephens, but P. O. Wilhite
now has the management. Thir-
ty-five years is a long time for one
kind of business to remain in the
same place, but Mr. Wilhite be-
lieves the new stand will be a bet-
ter one.
No arrangements have been
made for the occupancy of the
building vacated by the drug store,
but it is expected that some other
business will take over this loca-
tion soon, as it is well located" in
the middle of the block, where
hundreds of people pass daily.

District Court
Will Start Term
On Next Monday
Next Monday morning, Judge I.
N. Williams will open the January
Term of the Seventy-Sixth Dis-
trict Court, which will convene
for a six-week term.
Just how much business is to
be transacted by the court at this
term is not known, but it is
thought that it will be somewhat
lighter than the previous winter
terms, because there have< not
been a great many cases filed.
The Grand Jury will be conven-
ed on the first day of the session,
and will remqjn on duty until the
rases bound over for its action
will be acted on. The panel from
which the Grand Jury will be se-
lected is as follows: Millard Drig-
gers, C. E. Lee, E. Unsell, F. A.
Batson, L. A. Justiss, J. B. Kirk,
Emmett Ticer, Claud Russell,
Clyde Raney, Edgar Huffman, A.
A. White, Lee Wilson, L. L. Lee.
The Petit Jury will not be called
until the third week of the term
for trial of cases, and non-jury
cases will probably be called dur-
ing the first two weeks of the
term. At present, the panel for
third week is the only one that
has been summoned, but others
will be called for later if it is seen
that they will be needed.
