The Georgia Enterprise February 7, 1873
~Col. Henderson saw a large red fox in the road near Brown’s Bridge one day 
this week. Hunters take notice.

~Rev. Mr. Kinnebrew, the new Professor in the Female College, preached at the 
Baptist Church in Covington, last Sunday.

~The City Council at their last meeting re-elected H. W. Smith, Marshal and A. 
M. Cureton, Clerk, for the ensuing year. The salaries of these officers were 
not increased but stand as formerly.

~Gov. Smith has seen proper to appoint JOHN _. HALL, Judge, and THOMAS B. 
CABINISS, Solicitor for the Flint Circuit. We have heard no objection offered 
to the appointment of Mr. Cabiness, but we think his Excellence could have made 
a better selection for the Bench. This Circuit possesses many eminent lawyers 
who would be far preferable to Mr. Hall as Judge. But Smith was 
under “obligations” to Hall and consequently he was honored by the Judgeship, 
much to the dissatisfaction of the people and bar of this 
Circuit. When he was elected Governor it was not expected that he would be 
guided by his personal preferences and ignore the talent and experience of such 
men as Judges, Floyd, Speer and others, and yield to such “obligations.” Had he 
appointed Hall, Solicitor, then, nothing would have been said. This act of Gov. 
Smith has rendered him unpopular with a number of the best men in this Circuit. 
Smith has simply played “the wild” in making the appointment. Hall is not to 
blame for accepting.
