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.

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.

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. Blanks for Road Commissioners.

There are other blind and helpless inmates, but not so old. There are 33 who are supported by the contry, none of them being able to support them selves. It will be seen by- the above that the Superintendent has no easy position in looking after these old and decrepit people, providing for their wants and comforts. It takes a good and a human man todo it, the present Superintendent fills that bill. 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. ■Veekiy Cotton statement. Benj. F.

Graham* We are pained to announce the death of this estimable gentleman, which oc curred on Sunday night last at in resi dence in this city. He died at the age of 52. Mr. Graham was a South Caro linian, butsince the ruinous war resided in this State. He was a good and true man, and his death brings sorrow to 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 ing, at Harpold & Hillyer’s, as they are determined to close out their entire stock by the first of March. This is no humbug.

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 “Wad/xampion, Goyemor of Sooth Carolina is the subject of an exquisite nearly Id-size engraving, just publish ed (widow ready) by our enterpris ing friels, Walker, Evans & CogwelL Charlesn, S C. We congratulate these gtlemen on the grand success they hfe made of so noble a subject 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 procesaased on photography, having the ad ntage of great truthfulness.

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. _ A recent contrivance for the protec tion of. money-safes is a net of tele graph wire spread all over them, in elec tric communication with an alarm bell.

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. . Tax Payer. The new Board of Commissioners —W. G. Gammon, W. G. Whitmore, S. G. Whatley, and T. McGuire, being present—was sworn in yesterday, R. J. M. Perkins not present. They organ ized by electing Col. Gammon Chair man. Thos. J. Perry, Clerk, tendered his resignation, and Halsted Smith was elected in his stead. J. B. Shropshire was elected Superintendent of the Alms’ House. We regret the resignation of Judge Peny as Clerk of the County Board of Commissioners. He made an efficient officer, and his labors were of invalua ble service to the county. There is no man who could have discharged the trusts imposed upon him with more faithful and conscientious regard to the interests of the county than he.
