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.

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.

PenDington, in South Rome, and occupied by a colored family, was de stroyed by fire. The occupants had left the house to go to church some hour or so before the fire broke out. The cause of the burning is not known. The negroes lost about all their household outfit, which was replaced esterdayby Col. Pennington, he having set them up in as good style as before the burning.

I'irc Thousand Again. Meeting of Board oi* tSuucitlon# Rome, Ga., Jan. 8, 1877. The Floyd County Board of Educa tion met to-day. Present, W. L. Whitely, Chairman; J. R. Towers, Wm. Watters, and A. J. King. Minutes of last meeting read and ap proved. On motion the sccount of the County Commissioner for services for the year 1877 was allowed, and bis salary for the year 187S was fixed at $225. On motion, M. A. Nevin was re elected County School Commissioner. The following was adopted: Resolved, That the County School Commissioner, from and after this date, is not authorized to license auy teacher until said teacher produces a certificate and recommendation from the Trus tees of the District where he or she ex pects to teach. Ou motion, the County Commission er was ordered to prepare or procure blanks for the use of teachers that will be more explicit than present blanks as to age of pupils, name of parents, number of days taught, etc., and that all teachers be furnished with snch blanks, and be required to make out their returns upon the same. On motion the following was adopted Whereas, Amos Mathews, a colored teacher, from evidence before this Board, attempted to practice gross fraud in his return and account for services the past year, therefore be it Resolved, Thatthelicense of said Amos Mathews having been taken from him, the public is notified that he will not he allowed to teach in the public schools of this county in future. Board adjourned to first Wednesday in May. 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.
