Alile E. Gammon Accidentally Killed.
Mr. Allie E. Gammon, third son of
Col. W. G. Gammon, of this county
was killed on the night of the 16th
instant by being thrown from his horse
at Blountville, East Tennessee. He
was thrown from his horse about 4
o'clock r. m., and his skull fractured
He lived in an unconscious state till 1
a. m. of the 17th. His age was about
twenty-five years. He moved from
Rome some three and half years since.
He was a young man of more than
ordinary social powers and popular
ity, and his sudden and premature
death brings deep anguish to his nu
merous friends and associates, who
deeply sympathise with his father and
brothers in this their great bereave
ment. His remains will be buried at
Jonesboro, East Tennessee, where the
family formerly lived.
Fire at Stlleaboro—Incendiary-
ism.
We learn that on last Wednesday
ight the hotel and store, with the Ma
sonic Hall over it, belonging to H. D.
& R. N. Cunyn3, and the store of J. C.
& J. D. Lanier were all burned, with
most of their contents. The fires in all
the buildings origuated at about the
same time, and could not have accident
ally communicated from one to another.
Mr. Stevens’ stables were fired a few
weeks since, and that community ia con-
iderably excited upon the subject oi in-
eendiaiyisin.
The Cuny us’ are reported to have been
lartially insured, but our iufurmant did
not know as the to Laniers in tuis respect.
Since the above was in type we learn
that Dr. Beasley’s office was burned, con
taininc S3,500 in greenbacks. Also, that
Joel Conyers bad SI,200 cash burned.
An unoccupied dwelling house was al-o
burned. The fire was discovered abnui
2 o’clock Thursday morning and two of
the stores were then in full flame.

Death of Miss Mary AUgonJ.
It is with sorrow that we announce the
death of Miss Mary Allgood, which oc

Allgood, in Chattooga connty, last

Grand Jury Presentments for January
Term, Second Week. 1878.Fiord
Connty, Ga.
We, the Grand Jury, chosen and
sworn for the second week of the Jan
uary Term, 1878, make the following
report:
We concur with the presentments of
the Grand J ury of last week with, the
following exceptions:
1. We have not examined the books
and records of the various officers of
the county, they having been examined
by last week’s Grand Jury—except the
books of the sheriff and the tax collec
tor. And we recommend that the
Grand J ary of the following week ex
amine said books, as circumstances be
yond their control have prevented them
from making a full report.
2. We find the amount consumed by
the poor of our county to be $3,966.17,
said sum being derived as follows, to-
wit: » .
From the taxes of the people-S2,67147
From the crop of 1877, on the
poor farm, and sale of stock 1,265.00
Total ..$3,966.17
Of this amount $400 was paid for tie
hire of two laborers, aDd $400 for the
salary of the Superintendent
We have estimated the feed of tie
two mules on the farm worth about
one hundred ($100) dollars—maki ^
nine hundred ($900) dollars, whi b,

W. L. Whitely, Pres’L
M. A. Nevin, Sec’y.
The case of Jame3 M. Elliott vs. the
lessees of the W. & A. railroad was
tried again last week in Bartow Supe
rior Court, and a verdict for five thou-
and dollars rendered in favor of the
plaintiff. Some four years ago Capt.
Elliott was ejected from a passenger
train of said company because he re
fused to sign some contract or agree
ment upon the back of his ticket or
pass. The case has been tried once be
fore, and a verdict for the same amount
returned by the jury, and a new trial
;rauted by the Judge of the Superior
Court, to which the defendant except
ed, and carried the case to the Supreme
xiurt, and that Court refused to inter
fere with the discretion of the Superior
Court Judge, and affirmed the judg
ment. So, the case came back, and
pen a second trial the same sum in
lamages wus awarded. The suit was
■riginally begun by Messrs. Undtrwood
Rowell and Wright A Featherstone
lor the plaintiff, but upon Judge Ur
derwood’s elevation to the bench soon
liter the suit was brought, Messrs. Dab
ney & Fouclie came into the case, alr-o.
for the plaintiff.
Gus Johnson’s Sentence.
At the January term, 1877, of the
Superior Court of this county, Gus
Johnson was tried for the killing of a
negro, and was found guilty of murder
and sentenced to be banged. His case
was carried to the Supreme Court,
which stayed the judgment of the Su
perior Court Tho Supreme Court af
firmed the judgment of the Superior
Court, and the defendant, Johnson, was
Drought up from Atlanta last Saturday,
where he has been held in the jail of
Fulton county on account of the sup
posed unsafe condition of our jail, and
'was re-sentenced by Hon. J. W. H.
Underwood, Judge of the Rome circuit,
to be hanged on Friday, the 15th day
of March, 187S, at some point within
obe mile of the court-house of Floyd
county.
At the request of the condemned the
Judge ordered that the execution should
be public.
We learn from gentlemen who were
near Johnson at the time of the read
ing of the sentence that he did not ex
hibit any emotion or seem in the
slightest degree affected by the sen
tence. Bat there is no telling about
that, as he is a man of remarkable firm
ness, and His self-control may have
been so great as to enable him to hide
what others would exhibit in counte
nance and action.
After the sentence was pronounced
the defendant was ordered back to the
jail of Fulton connty, and he was de
livered to the jailer of that connty
Saturday nigUihy 1 Deputy Sheriff J.
A.-Sharpe. -
The Alms House we find in goodtpr-
der, and inmates well cared foif. ,
3. Our committee report that the)
cape of the prisoners from the cou;
jail, not long since, was from no fapt
of the officers in charge, but from
unsafe condition of thejeil itself. Ah^
we concur with the Grand Jury of lust
week in recommending the building of
a new jail.
4. After an experiment of several
years with the Board of Roads and Rev
enue, we are satisfied that the old plan
for managing the county affairs is the
best, and, therefore, we recommend that
our Representatives to the Legislature
have the same abolished, and the busi
ness pertaining to that body be turned
over to the Ordinary of the county, to
be carried on as heretofore,
5. We recommend the Summerville
road, from Rome to a point four miles
distant, be put in good order at once.
Also, that W. W. Cheney be required
to work, according to law, the road
granted him by the Board of Roads and
Revenue. We call attention to the
condition of the abutments on Cabin
Creek bridge, which we consider un
safe.
We concur with last week’s Grand
Jury with regard to the bridge over Big
Cedar creek.
6. J. R. Towers, J. P., 919 District,
has presented his books, which lfave
been examined and approved
7. We recommend that C. O. Still
well be relieved by the tax collector of
Floyd connty, J. J. Black; and that
said J. J. Black be relieved by r -yi?P*
trailer General and Commissioners of
Roads and Revenus of said county, from
paying the tax returned by C. O. Still
well, agent, and C. O. Stillwell, agent
for W. T. Trammell, as the return'was
made through mistake and was retbrn
ed and paid by other persons.
8. We tender eur thanks to the So
licitor and His Honor, Judge Under
wood, for courtesies extended; and
recommend the publication of these
presentments in the city papers, pro
vided they do not charge more than two
and or.e-half dollars each for the same.

gress this salutary rule. It must be
matter of great importance to all who
do bo to know how they can regain the
vigor so recklessly expended. The rem
edy is neither costly or diffiult to obtain.
Hostetter’a Stomach Bitters is procura
ble in every city, town and settlement in
America, and it compensates for a draiu
of bodily or mental energy more tffectu
ally than any iuvigorant ever prescribed
or advertised. Laboring men, athletes,
journalists, lawyers, clergymen, phys
dans, all bear testimony to its wondrous-
ly renovating powers. It increases tbe
capabilities for undergoing fatigue, and
counteracts the injurious effects upon the
system of exposure, sedentary habits, un
healthy or wearying avocations, or an in
salubrious climate, and is a prime alter
ative, diuretic and blood depurent.
The Only Remedy.
Those who suffer from foul breath are
open to tbe charge of carelessness. It is an
offence that can be speedily abated, as a
single bottle of tbe fragrant Sozodort
will unmistakably accomplish the work.
No toilet table should be without it.
