A LIE. ,
We have been informed, upon
what we believe to be indubitable
authority, that some party, to U3 un
known, has circulated a report sit
Millen, and, perhaps, at other places
in Burke county, that The Citizen
is run in tho interest of Judge Thos.
M. Berrien, and incidentally in the
interest of the Coalitionists. We
have here to say that Judge Berrien
has never contributed one nickel or
one cent for the support of this
paper, and that he is in no way,
directly or indirectly, interested in
its publication. We have heard
some of these reports before, and
have passed thorn by with silent con
tempt, but as we now believe that
they are injuring our business, we
deem it time to put a slop to them.
The circulator of these reports, we
uronounce to be a liar and a sneak,
and we hold ourself ready to respond
for every word here uttered when
ever he chooses to make himself
known.
One word to those who have exer
cised themselves so terribly as to the
ownership of The Citizen. If you
will examine the record in the Clerk’s
office you can satisfy your idle curi
osity, and learn that The Citizen is
owned by its publishers. It is paid
for, and asks the countenance of the
public only so far as its merits de
serve. Planting itself upon the broad
platform of the principles of govern
ment laid down by Thomas Jeffer
son, it stands unpledged, to individ
ual, faction, or party, and will give
its support to those who honestly
serve the people.

THE FAIR ASSOCIATION.
The Fair Association seems to be

fore used as a driving park have
been bought from Mrs. Mandell for

tion good judgment and taste was
displayed. The following is a list

—The Fair Association calls for one-
fourth the amount subscribed by its
stockholders. Come up promptly and
insure the success of this great enter
prise.
—Mr. W. McCathern has lost 14
of his plow stock this season, and is
unable to account for this strange
fatality, or to discover what is the
disease. Mr. Me. uses home-raised
corn and oats to feed on, but nearly
every horse taken sick dies.
—The Lorette correspondent of the Syl-
vania Telephone has this to say of one of
our most popular citizens : “Col. Jno.
D. Munnerlyn, of Waynesboro, paid
our town a flying visit Monday. The
Colonel is in fine health and spirits, and
if Sylvania wants a council of the
Royal Arcanum, he can put the job up
with less expense and more dispatch
than any man in the State.”
—What has become of the Burke
County Game Association ? We
have heard not a word from it for
months, and are much afraid it has
“gone where the woodbine twineth.”
But really this association bid fair
to do much good in preventing the
destruction of insectiverous birds
and fish. It may not always be con
venient for country members to at
tend, but, there are enough members
who reside in town to transact all
tho business of the society, and
should by no means be allowed to
die. Wake up, gentlemen, and do
your duty. Don’t let the society
die out.

—'“J. S. R.,” in a recent letter to
the Macon Telegraph, has the follow
ing to say concerning one of our
citizecs :
“At a recent meeting of the stock
holders of the Fair Association a
permanent organization was perfected
and Major VV. A. Wilkins elected
president. A word concerning this
enterprising gentleman may not t>e
inappropriate just hero. Fully im
bued with the progressive spirit of
the age and century, lie has been for
many years a leading spirit in our
community ; and to-day, whatever
of growth and prosperity our town
possesses is*traceablo in a large mens.-,
ure to his energy and enterprise.
Possessing in a supreme degree that
quality known as business acumen,
he has been a prime mover in all ot'
those advance movements that have
given form and beauty to our little
city, and the splendid buildings that
to-day adorn our thoroughfares are
but evidences of his euergy and
monuments of his genius. Such a
man in any community is indispen
sable and his spirit of energy and
enterprise has impressed itself in
inc'elible finger-points, -upon every
improvement of which our town
can boast. Hence, his election to
the position of president of the asso
ciation, was a grateful acknowledge
ment of his ability and peculiar fit
ness. An able ticket was elected to
co-operate with him, and with such
officers at the helm, the success of
the enterprise is assured.

—Augusta News : Judge Snead is
rapidly disposing of cases on the civil
dooket this week, and is keeping well
up with the business of the Superior
Court. Instead of delaying the assign
ments of this week of the adjourned
term for the lengthy case of Mont
gomery vs. the Masonic Trustees, Judge
Snead instituted what is called the
double barreled court, and called in the
assistance of Judge Lawson. In this
way two sessions of ihe court progress
ed at the game time without extra ex
pense or loss of time, or the delay of a
single case on. the docket. Judge Snead
deserves many thanks for big expidition
and orderly arrangement of the court
business, and it is just such able dis
charge of duty and conscientious work
that has made him a proud record as a
Judge and won from every grand jury
in all the counties of the Augusta cir
cuit their thanks and lull endorsement.
Suoh tributes have their meaning and
point out Judge Snead ns a faithful and
uppreoiatqd officer of the law. He ha
been now around the circuit, and
although the work is tedious nnd oon ;
tinued, he is going on with the adjouri
ed terms in tho counties without evi
a day’s intermission or rest. Motioj
and postponed cases will he heart ne>
week, and Julfge Snead will then
right oil for auAadjouruod tonuir
