Dalton, Ga., December 21.

(Special.)

The January term of Whitfield superior court will convene here on January 5, Judge Fite presiding.

This is not the term at which the grand jury meets, but owing to the fact that there are a number of men in jail here charged with felonies, it is probable that a grand jury will be called and empaneled.

There will be several murder cases, among them being that of Ira Fisher, charged with the death of Dug Steele in 1909.

Fisher also figured as a post-witness in the Frank trial, which revived the old case here and resulted in his indictment; also the trial of William I. Umphrey, who awaits indictment and trial for the murder of Joseph S. Pritchett, November 17 last.
