FROM THURSDAY’S TRI-WEEKLY,
Kurd .t Dwincll have on sale a cumber of
valuable farms.
Vagrancy seems to be on the increase
everywhere—not only among the grown
up people, but among the young. Is
there no law against it?
Some men seem to have a hankering
for court-rooms—from police courts up to
the superior court—for they are always
there, cold or hot, dry or wet.
Don’t forget to attend the meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce to-night, as it
is important that all the members should
he present. Remember it, gentlemen.
Ingratitude is close kin to all the low
vices human nature is heir to, yet there
is a great deal of it in daily life among
those who should he friends. Sorry to
see it, yet it is so.
C. C. Cato says he had much rather
drive his “ red City Express” than be a
town constable. lie seems to enjoy it
hugely, and we are glad he does. We
only charge him a few rides for this com
plimentary notice.
Married.
At the residence of the bride’s father,
on the 24th inst., by J. A. Winn, Esq.,
Mr. B. J. Miller to Miss Mattie A.
Smith, all of this county.
Tliejury, in the case of the State vs.
Joseph Moncrief, charged with the mar.
der of Tom Fain, on the 25th of Decem
ber last, rendered the following verdict
yesterday at half past ten o’clock : “ We,
the jury, find the defendant guilty.” The
jury was discharged, and the prisoner re
manded to jail, to await his sentence,
millinery ami Dress Making.
The ladies will find the novelties of
the season at 97 Broad Street, where
Miss Isbell Fromm will exhibit a beauti
ful stock of millinery and dress goods,
and do elegant mautua making in the
latest styles. Sec advertisement.
Cigars nt Wholesale uml Ketatl.
Mr. Chr. Fromm, late of Knoxville,
Tenn., has opened a cigar store at 97
Broad Streer, secyjid door below .N orton’s.
He proposes to supply the trade at 20
per cent, below the prices in Eastern
markets. He has had long experience,
and is thoroughly posted in his line of
business. Hgalers and consumers will
find it to their interest to give him a
call. See advertisement.
I’rof. S. C. Caldwell will deliver, this
evening, at the Hall of the V. M. C. A.
the first of a series of lectures on the
English language. The lectures are
delivered under the ausuices of the
association and for the purpose of rais
ing funds to relieve it from an una
voidable but embarrassing debt. To
this end a small entrance fee of 25
cents wilTbe charged. We hope a full
house will greet the Lectures.
FROM SATURDAY’S TRI-WEEKLY
Greenville Smith is quite sick, but
improving some. _
A party in Florida sent here for $5.00
worth of McGhees water-melon seed
They have gained a wide reputation.
Some hail thought that the cotton sea
son was about over hut the appearance of
things doesn’t seem so by no means.
The monthly issues were out yester
day and to-day in full force with their
bills for collections. Some, did well
and some did not.
The County Treasurer paid of the Ju
rors last week. We hope he will do so
again this week. This shows a healthy
condition of the finances of the county.
So much for good financiering.
Five Dollars Reward.
I will pay the above reward for proof
to convict the party that mutilated th
sign in front of Iloyt’s drug store.
D. S. Powers.
On the 19th inst., by Rev. W,
Glenn, at the residence of the bride’s fa
ther, Rev. W. D. Apderson, to Miss
T -timfir. of Cobb county. The
couple left for Cedertown on I uesaay
evening.
The large number of cotton wagons
on the streets, yesterday, made business
quite lively all day. There is no mis
take about this being a cotton country
as well as a grain and grass country.
The staple raised in this section is al
ways sought after by spinners, who are
always willing to pay a better piice
for it than cotton grown elsewhere.
Thrifty Business.
We took a short look through Mr. T. J.
Langley’s boot and shoe factory yester
day, and were surprised at the extent of
his business. He now has fifteen Lauds
employed and is turning out regularly
300 to 350 pairs of boots ai d shoes per
week, and he has machinery and capacity
to make a thousand pair per week. He
has the latest and most approved machin
ery including one of Gay’s famous
bottoming machines, for which
he paid $450, and pays also a royalty
of 2 cents a pair for all work done on
This is the only machine of the
kind south of Richmond. Mr, Lang
ley is in every respect a good citizen,
and we are glad to know that he has
built a large and growing business.
Merchants and consumers will do well
to examine his goods, nearly opposite
Choice Hotel. See advertisement.
8 jmething About Old People.
Grangers’ Life and Health Insurance Co.
of the United States of America.
This vigorous and progressive Southern
company, at its late annual meeting, has
declared a dividend of teu per cent, to
its stock and policy holders. Notwith
standing the terrible commercial struggle
through which the country has passed
for the last f.w years, this company has
steadily progressed, and secured a large
business. A company that can secure
such results as the Grangers’ Life, most
assuredly deserves the patronage of our
people. Its entire reserve is loaned at
legal interest in each State department.
The entertainment, tatileaux and
concert, aiven i-,- juuug mutes ot
Rome Female College, under direction
of I’rof. Carl Hintz, was a very pleasant
and interesting affair. The songs were
V-’r_v good, and sung with touching
sweetness. The tableaux illustrating
the beautiful little poem of Jean Inge-
low, ”The songs of seven,” representing
seven stages in the life of woman were
happily adapted and well performed.
Little Dolly Webb as the happy child
among the bees and flowers; Miss M.
McDonald with the first rosy flush of
romance glowing on her cheek ; Miss
Caldwell waiting and watching for her
sailor lover; Miss Beville playing the
happy mother watching her children
gathering daisies and butter-cups ;
Miss Parker as the pensive widow,
sighing for the loved and the lost;
Miss Burnett, like a sure enough
mother counseling Miss Allgood like
a sure enough bride; and Miss Park
er longing for home were all so good
that there is no room left for criticism.
Miss Hall’s singing was exquisite and
elicited pleased applause..’ The entire
entertainment was a success.

Rome, Ga„ February 2,1S77.
To the Editor of The Courier:
I understand that the Ordinary pro
poses to take the bonds of the county
officers. Is this true ? The law makes
it the duty of the Board of Commis
sioners Roads and Revenue to do this
as the board has ail the financial officers
of the county in charge.
A Citizen.
We are not ’prepared to answer this
question, but refer it to the county at
torney. We can state, however, that
Board of Commissioners in other coun
ties exercises this duty.

*>eath of Win. G. Graham*
We are pained to announce the death
of this estimable gentleman, which oc
curred on Sunday night last at in resi

of 52. Mr. Graham was a South Caro

many a heart
Judge R. 1<- I Iain*.
At a meeting of the county officers,
consisting of theClerk of Supreme Court,
Ordinary and Sheriff, the Board of
County CommLsioners and the Mayor
and Aldermen of the city, Judge R. R.
Harris was unanimously re-nominated
as Judge of the County Court. This
re-appointment of Judge Harris will
meet with public favor, as he has given
universal satisfaction in all his rulings.
Them was no opposition to his appoint
ment. We congratulate both him and
the public upon the appointment.
On Saturday last an effort was made to
get a new trial for Joseph Moncrief, but
the Judge thought tliesliowingmadeby his
council was notsufficient to authorize him
to grant it, therefore he sentenced him to
be hung on the 30th day of March next.
On his way hack to jail he remarked to
he guard, “ mother told me I would be
hung before I was 21 years old, I will
not he 21 until the 21st day of June next,
so you see she was a very good prophet.”
Up to that time he had seemed unmoved
and defiant. He is here without father,
mother or relatives. His case may go up
to the Supreme Court, but be that as may,
he deserves the pity if not the sympa
thy of our citizens. Who will be a
mother, a father, a brother, a sister for
the short time allowed him? Though his
deeds be condemned by the law of land
who will do it ?
mmmmm Bargains! Bargains!
Save 25 per cent, by buying dry
goods, boots and shoes, hats and cloth

determined to close out their entire

We see by the report of the third
week’s Grand Jury that they have the
New Jail fund 7,074.50 iucluded in the
amount of taxes for the year 1876. We
do not consider that amount one of the
county’s assets, as it had been borrowed
by the County Commissioners; therefore
it most be placed to the debit and not
the credit of the county. Werespectful-
ly recommend that the Board of Com
missioners refund as soon as possible the
New Jail fund borrowed by them, as it
may be wanted to be applied to the pur
pose for which it was designated.
We deem it unnecessary to examine the
public records as they have been exam
ined by former Grand Juries during the
present term of this Court all agreeing
that they are neatly and correctly kept.
J. F. Winn’s Justice Peace docket has
been examined and fund correct.
We concur with the report the Grand
Jury of the third week on Roads except
the portion which recommend’s that the
roads bo worked immediately. We sug
gest that there be no work on the roads
only when the are at present impassable,
as the weather at this season of the year
would no admit a thorough work. We
would also call the attention of the Board
of Commissioners to the condition of the
bridge across Cohen’s mill pond, the west
end having sunk from one to two feet.
The dirt work at each end should be ban-
istered or railing put at each side to pre
vent vehicles runningoff. We would call
the attention of the District Road Com
missioners to the had condition of the va
rious small bridges over the county; also,
we would insist that the law in reference
to finger boards and mile posts be en
forced.
We are informed by some of the mem
bers of the Grand Jury that the bridge
across Cabin Creek is in a very unsafe
condition, in fact, impassable, and should
be attended to immediately by the proper
authority.
We have examined the condition of the
Alms House property and find the in
mates well cared for. We find the farm
and stock in excellent condition. We
concur in the report of the third week’s
Grand Jury in reference to the rations of
tobacco; also, in despensing with the sur
plus stock. We would recommend tbs
the Board of Commissioners curtail tl

As a wk of art it stands unrivalled;
but stilts chief merit lays in its being
a dife-lt portrait. It is the first product
on so rgea scale, of a new and secret

the ad ntage of great truthfulness. As
the pfcograph has superseded the oil-

want a portrait is truth—they do
not the artist’s conseption of a

this and result be better attained

But tile these great advantages are

Hampton Declared Govekob.—A
dispatch from Colombia says that Gov
ernor Hampton,havinggranted a pardon
to Anizi Roe bo rough, colored, a prison
er in the jail of Chester county, and the
Sheriff refusing to release the prisoner
on the gronnd that Wsfie Hampton is
not the Governor of the State, Judge J.
T. Mackey issued a writ habeas corpus
on the petition of the prisoner, and yes
terday the case was signed, when Jndge
Mackey Dromptly decided that Wade
Hampton was the legal Govenor. The
Sheriff’s counsel promptly appealed the
case to the Supreme Court
The other day, in Catalona, two col-
S rits were to be executed, The first
ied instantly, but when it came to the
turn of the second, the collar of the gar
rotte, owing to the malformation of the
prisoner’s neck, would not work. The
executioner removed the dead man
from the chair and tried the other col
lar, but the deformed criminal did not
fit it and after an hoar’s cruel work he
h?d to give np, the culprit’s neck and
throat being badly torn. The circum
stances was telegraphed to King Alfon
so, who replied by pardoning the poor
wretch.

Any attempt to force the safe open or

To the Editor oj the Courier:
I notice in the proceedings of the Leg
islature on last Friday, that a bill was
introduced by Mr. Reece to “repeal the
second section of an aot amending the
city charter of Rome.” From the best
information I have been able to obtain
the “second section” referred to, requires
a registration of voters, and that no one
be allowed to register who has not paid
the taxes required of him. When it is
remembered that the debt which has
hung like a mill-stone around the necks
of tax-payers was the result of no regis
tration, would it not be well to know
from whom Mr. Reese gets his authority
to ask for the repeal of this all impor
tant section of our charter.
