(Continued from page 1)
Monday, February 22nd, there will
be no jury. This week will be de-
voted principally to winding up the
term and other routine matters, with
the trial, perhaps, of some non-jury
civil cases not theretofore disposed
of.
The entire term of court promises
to be a busy one. There are a num-
ber of criminal cases brought over
from former terms, it is said, and of
course the present grand jury in ses-
sion will add a large number to the
list of cases to be tried. There are ;r
number of civil cases that cannot he
reached this term on account of there
being several civil cases on the doc-
ket scheduled to be tried that wilt
take up about all the time allotted to
jury civil cases.—Jacksonville Pro-
