Heeling uf the CIlizeus of Rome.
Rome, November 19.
\To liie Citizens uf Rome:
Those who feel any interest in having
[pood and reliable men to serve us as
navor and aldermen next year, are
■equated to meet at the City Hall on
night next, at 7 o’clock,
'hen and there unite on a ticket.
Ci'W one, come all! A ticket will be
logreed upon with open doors.
Many Citizens.
Married.—At the residence of the
brides father, Dr. Wm. West, in this
city, on the evening of the 18th, by
Rev. S. E. Axson, Mr. Henry Hamilton
of Dalton, to Miss Nannie E. West.
Our best wishes reach out after the
happy couple. No more lovely and
gentle bride was ever borne from the
parent home to gladden the heart and
the home of a husband. May her
path through life be as bright with
flowers as her life is rich in womanly
graces.
8. D. McLendon, who moved from
Middle Georgia some years ago, con-
cludvd to sell his farm and move back.
He went down to look for a {dace, and
won saw that Cherokee Georgia was in
a much better condition than Middle
Georgia, and came back perfectly satis
fied to remain here the balance of his
pipes of iron or clay should he intro
duced in place of the wooden ones
from the water closets now in use,
which with the utmost care will not
prevent a very unpleasant smell in the
rooms on the second floor, and must
cause sickness. An iron door is needed
for the cast room of the second floor.
A ceiling should be put to the room
used as a dining room by the jailer.
We feel satisfied that it is for the
best interest of the county not to move
the jail from the present site. A new
jail will cost at least fifteen thousand
dollars. The present one is capable of
being made in every way complete by
the expenditure of fifteen hundred
dollars. We find that Sheriff Lump
kin and Jailer Jenkins are faithfully
discharging their duties to the county
and the prisoners.
An examination of the court house
results in finding defective stove pipes
in court room; we recommend brick
flues instead. Two rugs should be
provided for the front door. Some of
the desks need repairs.
The attention of this grand jury
having been called to the condition of
the two bridges leading into Rome, in
that they are not kept properly lighted
at night; we would recommend to the
municipal authorities that they look to
this matter for the benefit and conven
ience of the citizens of this county.
We have to some extent examined
the books of the county treasurer, and
so far as we have been able to ascertain,
find them correct.
We have also reviewed and exam
ined the report of the special finance
committee, and from its voluminous
character refrain from passing upon its
merits, and recommend its being filed
in office of the Clerk of Superior Court
for general inspection.
We recommend that the Commis
sioners of Roads and Revenues refund
to Capt. S. C. Trout, tax collector,
S2S7.50, money paid by him into the
county treasury by order of the special
finance committee, which we find to
be an error.
IV e approve of the county board
working the chain gang on the public
roads, and recommend that they ask
from the adjacent counties such con
victs as they may think proper to
work upon the roads and public build
ings.
We take pleasure in calling attention
to the diminution of crime in our midst,
and general prosperity of our county.
In taking leave of the presiding judge,
Hugh Buchanan, we tender him and the
other officers of the court our sincere
thanks for courtesies shown our body.
We do not, as former grand jurors,
recommend the publication of these
presentments in the city papers, hut
refer the matter to the Commissioners of
Roads and Revenues of Floyd County.

herself as expecting to live at the same

was her own act, and that she was

speak angrily to her, only expressed

Rome, November 23.
To the Editor of the Courier.
I fully endorse the call for a meeting
of the citizens to-night at the City Hall.
Heretofore but few of the prominent
citizens and largest tax payers have
taken any interest in selecting a ticket;
but, left it in the hands of Young
America and office seekers.
But it is to be hoped that all will
come out and take some interest in
putting out a ticket, and have but
the one ticket. No time now for pet
schemes—rewarding friends and pun
ishing enemies at the expense of the
tax payers.
Come out this one time, and protect
your interest A Tax Payer.

The Storm—From every quarter of
State we have alarming reports of
the ravages of the storm that swept
over tire land last Sunday night. The
destruction of property was serious,
and in one or two instances we hear of
the loss of life.
The violence seemed greater in the
more southern counties. In LaGrange
the female college building was de-
, stroyed. In Griffin several houses

Preiieutmentj} of the Grand Jury*
M e the Grand Jury chosen and sworn
lor the second week of the adjourned
July term of Superior Court of Floyd
County, Georgia, beg leave to make the
following general presentments:
” 8 have, through our several
committees, carefully examined the
records of the various officers of the
county, and the public buildings of
the county, the condition of the poor
house, and the public roads.
W a find the books of the Clerk of
tie Superior Court neatly and well
ept and the business all up. The
books of the Ordinary are in like excell

are in general good condition.

The Grant Parish Horror.
From a reliable gentleman, who has
just arrived in the city on the steamboat
Gladiola, we glean the following late news
in relation to the end anil just deserts of
one of the wretches who was implicated
in this brutal affair:
The steamboat Gladiola arrived at Col
fax on Saturday evening, and several of
her officers and passengers went ashore,
and there they heard the particulars of
the crime, and further, that one negro
man, whose name could not be learned,
but who was certainly implicated in the
affair, and was supposed to be the leader,
had met his death by the hands of the
justly- enraged citizens of the parish.
It is believed that among the citizens
who succeeded in hunting down this
wretch were many of them colored peo
ple who deprecate in the strongest lan
guage the inhuman act perpetrated by
these outlaws. Before the death of the
negro who was eaught, he confessed his
crime and gave the names of eleven
others who were concerned in the hellish
treatment of the young lady. The citi
zens of the parish have no objection to
the law taking its proper course, they
only insisting that this case be acted on
at once, and without delay.
The little child who was so brutally
treated, together with the deceased young
lady, and who was left out on the road
side in the chill air all night, it is thought
will die.—Few Orleans Picayune, 12th.
The Alabama legislature.
This body is now in session. We
have read the message of Governor
Lewis, and find it puerile almost to con
tempt. It is characteristic of the man
and the Radical party of Alabama.
The main points insisted upon by the
Governor, is the issuingof money bonds,
and the imposition of more taxes, and
the creation of a new office. Bonds and
taxes and office are the spoils of Radi
calism, and poor Alabama has to pay
them.
There has been some changes made
in the political status of the legislature.
The Democrats have a small majority
now in the senate, and on joint ballot.
Whether they basely sell themselves as
they did before, remains to be seen.
The rice crop promises to be abun
dant. Louisiana alone will throw in
the market over 150,000 barrels dean
rice, weighing over 35,000,000 pounds
at ten cents. This represents 83,500,000
grown in not more than three small
parishes—Plaquemine, St Bernard and
St Charles. . +
One negro was shot and instantly

The Donahoe-FIemmlng Tragedy*
The lower part of this county has
been in a lively state of excitement for
several days over the cowardly and
brutal assassination of a young lady.
Miss Alice Bush, and the severo wound
ing of a man named Flemming, by a
desperate character named Donahoe.
The particulars are as follows:
Donahoe, alleging that his wife had
been insulted by Flemming, went with
a party of armed ruffians to the house
of Flemming for the purpose of aveng
ing the alleged insult He hailed the
house, and as Flemming, unconscious
of danger, opened the door, he fired
lipnn him, th. load passing through
his thish and enterin'? the hnfiv pf
Miss Alice Bush, who was sitting in
the house at the time.
Miss Bush died soon from the effects
of the wound, and Flemming is still in
a dangerous condition. Donahoe and
his accomplices then made their escape,
retreating across the Alabama line.
The neighbors were soon aroused and
started in pursuit of the murderer and
his accomplice Hall. They arrested
Hall, but while under guard he broke
to run, when he was fired upon and
killed. Donahoe is still at large, and
defiantly threatens all who attempt his
arrest. Flemming avows his innocence
of the alleged insult to Donahoe’s wife.
Both he and the murdered lady are re
spectably connected.
Suicide.
On Thursday last the coroner, U.
Patillo, was notified of the death by
hanging of a negro girl on the premises
of Dr. Ballinger, in this county, and
straightway proceeded to investigate
the matter. The following are the
facts of the case as elicited by the
jury:
State of Georgia, Floyd County.
We the jury sworn and empannelled
to hold an inquest at the house of Dr.
M. R. Ballinger, 949 District G. M. of
this State, on the body of a colored
woman named Ann Lowe, now hang
ing dead before us, with a rope around
her neck and fastened to a beam in an
outhouse on the premises of Dr. Bal
linger, in said county. We the jury
believe the deceased committed suicido
by hanging herself with a rope.
T. H. Murphy, Foreman.
W. C. Whitmili J. Broom.
S. G. Rhudy. R. Phelps.
W. J. Simmons. T. Tally.
Dr. M. R. Ballinger being sworn,
answers that the colored woman’s name
was Ann Lowe, and has been in his
employ ns a servant for about ten
months; that he last saw her in life
about 7 o’clock P. M. yesterday, and
he next saw her this morning about
sun-up, hanging and dead. He also
thinks the act of hen hanging there
was her own act, and that he hasnever
heard of any threat of violence towards
her, but has noticed that for some time
past she has seemed rather sad, and a
little more so for the last few days. .
On yesterday morning she went to
him and asked him to give her some
thing to produce abortion, as sho was
in trouble; and he positively refused,
und advised her to desist from any
such purpose, as that would be a crime
for which she would bo liable to pun
ishment She then said she was
determined to go away to some place
where she was not known; but as the
evening was very cold he insisted on
her staying until morning, which she
consented to do. He also believes that
she was driven to the act in despera
tion os a last resort to get rid of her
trouble. M. R. Balungeb.

I err engaged in the manufacture of the cele
brate i Family Medicine, at Atlanta, known a*
the Calhoun Liver ard Auti-Bilious Pills, under
the supervision and assistance of Dr. Galhonn
himself. This Pill has been in use for the last
thirty-Jve yean, and has taken precedence over
all othor family preparations, by all who hare
need them. Thousands would certify to their
great value if neeesaory. One foot should super
sede any amount of evidence, and that fact is
this—Dr. Galhonn has been physician to Fulton
connty prison for over seven years, when the
number of prisoners ranged from 30 to 70, with
all the diseases incident to this climate. With
bat few exceptions they have all been treated
with this pill, and astonishing to say, during that
long period, net a solitary death occurred under
his treatment. This fact is worth any amount
of testimonials.
I AM NOW PREPARED
to fill order, from drnggiita, merchants, and
other.. All order. Hnt to mo .hall hero prompt
