Roux, Ga^J-ui. 23,1878.
At a meeting of the senior class and
boarders of the Rome Fem-le College,
w rich'was called to coDsiiler the death
of Mfos Mary R. Allgood, the following
is mass meeting at the court house at
12 o’clock Mi this day.
- Oa motion, Gen. Geo. S. Black was
called to the chair, and J. R. Towers
j£,’and Max Meyerbardt were elected
secretaries.
Gen. Black, on taking the chair, ai •
nonneed the object of the meeting to be
the memorializing of Congress on the
financial question cow agitating the
country in the interest of the tax-payers
and laboring classes.
Hon. A. R: Wright introduced the
following resolutions, which were, on
motion, read seriatim, and adopted :
Resolved 1. That the act of March,
1869, by which the public debt of the
United States was payable (except its
interest) in lawful money, was deeided
to tie payable in coin, was a fmud upon
labor aud all productive industry; it
was a clear case of the use of the Gov-
Rffint'Bjr'the money power to double
its money.
2. That time cannot hallow the fraud
“read and known.of all men,” nor can
the change of the s-cunty into a bond
paying less interest, make we bond
holder “innocent,” and validate the
contract.
3. That justice and humanity to the
great laboriug aud producing classes,
out of whom til their last analysis come
all taxes and iuterest,'require that the
bonds be recalled and paid ia legal-
tender: greenback uoti-B, "the lawful
money of the United States” at the time
the contracts were made.
4. That the system ot vast bonded
debts in European countries, by which
-the mo ied classes have permanently
saddled themselves upon the laboring
aud producing classes at an interest
more than the value of the products of
labor, making eyery tenth man, in the
richest country therein, a pauper, ought
not to be tolerated by the free people of
these United States'; that as tne Govern
ment pays no interest upon the blood
of her sons who fought her battles,
neither should she pay the shy locks in
future contracts for the use of their
money, - It ought to be enough that the
•Whireas, The sad intelligence of the
death of our beloved friend and com
panion, Mary Allgood,- has reached us,
filling our hearts with grief and mourn
ing at th9 loss of one so young, so
amiabie, bo beautiful, so eminently
lovable, ber most constant associates in
household and class-room do hereby
resolve,
1. That in the midst of our grief at
the untimely death of our friend we
feel unspeakable consolation in the be
lief that she was one of God’s chosen
ones, and that she is now resting in
glory.
2. That in her death we have lost an
amiable and faithful friend, and that
the place she occupied in our hearts
will never be vacant.
3. That in her the college has lost
one of its brightest ornaments, and its
Faculty a obedient and aff.-c-
tionute pupil.
4. That we tender to her parents and
kindred our sincerest sympathy, pray
ing that though Mary’s voice is stilled
forever, the voice of her God will
whisper to them Words of the tenderest.

Presentment* of tHe Grand Jury for Jan
uary Term, Third Week, 1878.
We, the Gr ind Jury, chosen and
sworn for the third week of the Janu
ary Term, 1878, make the following re
port:
1. As the Grand Jury of the first
week of this court has examined' into
the financial condition of this county
we deem it unnesaary to make any fur
ther investigation.
2. We- visited the jail in a body,
made a thorough examination, and
would make the following report: We
concur with the Jury of last week in
.regard to the bnilding of a new jail, if
theJJounty Commissioners are prepar
ed to do it. We have not been able to
find out the cost of the present jaiL Ag
to the present value of the house and
lot, we are of the opinion that one thou
sand dollars wonld be a good price for
it. We are satisfied that it costs the
ocunty double the amount to keep the
prisoners in another county than it
would at home if we had a safe place
to keep them. We are, also, of the
opinion that no jail will hold prisoners
where they are furnished with tools
with which to make their escape. We
notice the County Commissioners are
preparing to bnild a stockade around
the jail. We do not think the stockade
will accomplish the end desired by the
Commissioners; and are of the opinion
that It will be a useless expenditure ol
and amount turned over to Coun
ty Treasurer in cash for stock sold in
the year 1877, 8313.20. Total cost for
maintaining an average of 35 inmates
is $1,653.40. We find 28 inmates fur
nished with supplies in every way, as
much so as the oounty can do in its
present financial condition, and its in
mates well cared for aud kindly treated
by oar worthy steward, Mr. Shropshire.
We find conditions of the farm in a
good state of care. It will be seen that
our, report differs from the report of
last week in this, that this alludes to
the current expenses of the alms house
and not to the general poor fund.
4..; The following roads are in a very
bad condition, and we would recom
mend immediate attention. The Pleas
ant Valley road, running to the bridge
at Mr. Estes’; the road commencing at
the western line of the Hooper pond,
running to South Rome; the road run
ning through the corporate limits of
DeSoto in front of the residence of John
Franks; the road running through the
corporate limits of Forrestville, in front
lOLobinson’s steam-mill; the small
irtage on the road leading from the
Summerville, road to Floyd Spring.
We also concur with the Grand Jury
of the last week in reference to the
bridge on Cabin Creek.
6. We recommend the Tax Collector
and Commissioners of Roads and Rev
enues to relieve J. R. Stewart from the
tax account against him, except poll
tax, for the year 1877, he having made
oath before this body~t£ot Hie' asses-
ment was made from the tax book ior
'ear 1876, and that he had no prop-
dn the first of April, 1877, which
was liable to taxation, except his poll
7. That injustice to the people living
in the country we recommend that the
sheriff do his advertising in the Rome
Courier, as having the largest circula
tion in the county.
We concur in the recommendation of
the preceding Grand Juries of the pres
ent term of this court relative to the
Commissioners Court of Roads and
Revenues.
8. The books of Wm. Watters, J. P.
S59 Dist. G. M., were examined and
found correctly kept.
9. We recommend the form originat
ed by Thos. J. Perry for the J. P. Dock
ets of this county.
10. We tender our thanks to His
Honor Judge Underwood, and the So
licitor for courtesies extended, and re
commend the publication of these pre
sentments in the city papers, they not
charging more than two dollars and
fiftv eents for the same. - Respectfully
submitted.

The Jury returned a verdict of vol
untary manslaughter in the case of the
State vs. Joe Moncrief, charged with
the murder of Tom Fain, colored,
Christmas day, 1876. There bad been
a former verdict of guilty of murder,
at January term, 1877, and a motion
for a new trial, which was refused by
the Judge of the Superior Court, but
the Supreme Court reversed the judge
ment, and granted a new trial. After
the rendering of the verdict, Judge
Under—ood sentenced the defendant to
the peni’entiary for fifteen years. The
diicresion of the court in this kind of
case is very large, the penalty being
from one to twenty years imprison
ment The court took into considera
tion the imprisonment of over a year
he had already Buffered, with the sen
tence of death hangittgover him most
of the time, and did not go to the foil
extent of the law.
A gentleman who visited Moncrief
in his cell, last Sunday, informs us that'
he denied ever having used unkind
words about the Judge or witnesses, or
any person connected with the trial, but
on the contrary, the prisoner seemed
thankful that bis sentence was no hard
er, and expressed only the kindest
feelings forthoee whose dnty it was to
try the case.

Antecedents o( Disease.
Among the antecedents of disease are
inertness in the circulation ofthe blood,
an unnaturally attenuated condition of
the physique, indicating that the life
current is deficient in nutritive proper
ties, a wan, haggard look, inability to
digest the food, loss of appetite, sleep
and strength, and a sensation of
oral languor. All these may
garded as among the indicia
proaching disease, which will evl
ally attack the system and overwheli
it, if it is not built up and fortified in
advance. Invigorate, then, without lose
of time, making choice of the greatest
vitalizing agent extant, Hostetteris
Stomach Bitters, an elixir which has
given health and vigor to myriads of
the sick and debilitated, which is
avouched by physicians and analysts to
to be pure as well as effective, which is
immensely popular in this country, and
extensively used abroad, and which
has been for years past one of the lead
ing medicinal staples of America.
