The Trade Outlook.—While
there has been some improvement in
trade the general outlook is not as
encouraging as was looked for. It is
thought by those who are most com
petent to judge that a few weeks
more with develop some improve
ment for the better.
It is stated that eight thousand per
sons viewed the remains of McCul
lough at St. George's Hall, Philadel
phia, at the funeral ceremonies. A
large number of actors and admirers
of the great Histrionic Star, were
present. He died November 8, 1885,
in his 53rd year.
Judge J. H. Stevens of Stevens’ Pot
tery passed through our town on yes
terday on a business trip to Coving

Parnell at an Irish meeting in Liv
erpool made a speech in which he
complimented Gladstone on the
breadth of his views of the Irish ques
tion. and called on him to formulate
a scheme for self-government in Ire
land before the election, so that the
Peers would have no chance to re
ject it if the Liberals should return to
power. The Irishmen at Portsmouth
have sent: a dispatch to Parnell say
ing that they will vote as he directs.
Galveston Swept by Fire.—A
destructive fire raged in Galveston on
the 13th inst. The path of devasta
tion is a mile and a half long and seven
blocks wide. One hundred acres were
cleared of buildings. One thousand
families are left homeless. The ag
gregate loss is fully $4,000,000. The
great misfortune fills the city with
gloom and business is almost entirely
suspended.
The Georgia Mutual Aid Associa
tion, of Sandersville, Ga., sent R. M.
Benford, of Stevens’ Pottery, and C.
P. Whaley, of Mayfield, checks, last
week in payment of claims on their
deceased wives who were members of
that Company. That Company is do
ing what it promised. It is entirely a
home institution, insuring no lives
out of this State. Every man with a
dependant family of little children
should not fail to join and secure to
their loved ones, $1,000.
The Historian, who may record the
virtues and the exalted talents of
Gladstone, could safely, in speaking of
him. adopt the language wliich Juuius
us.‘d in speaking of the great Earl of
Chatham, for Gladstone is as Chatham
was, a man of the people. This is the
language of Junius in reference to
Chatham: “Recorded honors shall
gather round his monument, and
t.hinl
adorn it.
It seems to be settled by common
consent that Hon. John G. Carlisle
will have no Democratic opposition
for Speaker of the national House of
Representatives. It is believed that
John B. Clark, of Missouri, will be
clerk, John B. Leedom, of Ohio, Ser
geant at Arms: Samuel Donelson of
Tennessee, Doorkeeper, and Lycur-
gus Dalton, of Indiana Postmaster.
The Republicans have their ticket
for all these places but of course as
the House is largely Democratic
there is no chance for the Republicans
to elect a single officer for the House.
Mr Stead editor of the London Pall
Mall Gazette, Mr. Sampson Jaques, of
the same newspaper, and Mrs. Rebecca
Jarrett and Madame Louise Mourey
have been found guilty of assaulting
Eliza Armstrong. The Justice sen
tenced them as follows: Steads to three
months imprisonment without labor,
Jarrett six months without labor,
and Mourey to six months with hard
labor. Many good persons, in Lon
don, sympathized with Mr. Stead and
believed he was unjustly convicted.
Indeed, that he was the victim of a
conspiracy because he had exposed a
good deal of licentiousness in high life
in the columns of his paper.
Mr. Gladstone’s Health.—It is
stated that the late English Premier’s
health has net been impaired in the
least by his late speeches aDd men
tal excitements during the excite
ments of the electoral efforts for pow
er in the Parliament. He takes
a great deal of exercise especially In
walking, and it is stated exhibits the
sprightliness of step for which he has
been so celebrated. This is fortu
nate for him and the Liberal party of
which he is the distinguished head.
The odds appear to be in his favor.
If the Liberals shall triumph by a
strong majority he will claim the
Premiership at the opening of the
Parliament.
The Washington Gazette gave the
latest intelligence of Gen’l. Tooinls’
health which we have seen. It stated
on the 30tli ult., that his condition was
but little changed. He sleeps some
better and his appetite is slightly im
proved but his brain is vary much af
fected. It was reported, weeks ago,
that he was suffering from paralysis.
We infer from the above, if lie really
had symptoms of paralysis, he has
improved in that respect, as his affec
tion of the brain is presented in the
above as. at present, tlie most serious
symptom. We have known persons,
who suffered from brain affection for
some time, to get over it and enjoy
good health. We hope that will be
the ense with Gen’l. Toombs.
No man had a more vigorous con
stitution tinyi he hail, and it may ral
ly and restore him to vigor again. It
would delight thousands upon thou
sands of his old friends and admirers,
to have the hearty pleasure to take
him by the hand and congratulate
him upon his restoration to* firm
health again.
The ladies of the Methodist churdi
gave one of their nice entertainments
at Amusement Hall, last Friday uiglit.
Recitations, tableaux, music and an
excellent supper were i he pleasant va
rieties of the occasion and the pro
gramme was interesting and well car
ried out. The substantial success of the
evening was the receipt of $68.20,
which, after the deduction of a small
amount for necessary expenses, form
ed a very acceptable addition to the
fund for church expenses.
The following was the programme:
Recitation, Mr. Anderson; song, ‘"Old

Prohibition Contest in Atlanta.
The liquor canvas in Atlanta, in
view of the election to take place on
the 25tli inst, is such a one as for beat
and energetic w T ork has probably nev
er had a parallel in this State. The
liquor trade at Atlanta, both whole
sale and retail, is so large and profita
ble that those engaged in both branch
es of it are making a desperate fight
to secure their rich profits in the fu
ture as in the past. Every person of
note has been forced to take part in
the contest and come out on one side or
theother. We note among the prohibi
tion speakers all the clergy of the city
and some of the most prominent law
yers, including Messrs. Harry Jack-
son, Ben Hill, Jr., John Milledge,
Judge Lochrane, Mayor Hillver anil
■ev. Ram Jones on Lotteries.
In a speech in the Opera House in
Atlanta, Sam Jones used this lan
guage speaking of the Louisiana Lot
tery; .“General Lee rests in his peace
ful grave, a man revered by every pa
triotic Christian in this country. Beau
regard and Early, will soon be laid to
rest in a grave covered all over with
ignominy.”
For centuries, Lotteries have been
sanctioned and established by all civ
ilized and Christian countries. Many
lotteries were ’instituted, to build
churches, and raise funds for mission
ary and other religious purposes and
many to raise funds to meet the
wants of Governments. Lotteries, in
the course of time, became unpopu
lar, mainly because too many persous
relied upon them for the means of liv
ing, instead of labor in all its depart
ments. Some opposed them on the
score of morality, but they have nev
er ceased to exist for special purposes,
such as brought in to existence the
Louisiana lottery, with which Gener
als Beauregard and Early are connect
ed. Louisiana was, as other Southern
States were, dreadfully ruined by the
war; education was at a low ebb, and
thousands, having lost their all, were
languishing under the horrors of
hopeless poverty. Some wise and
good men suggested a lottery for edu
cational and charitable purposes. It
was incorporated by the Legislature
of Louisiana. By an overwhelming
popular vote, its franchise was made
a part of the state constitution,'adopt
ed December 2d, A. D. 1879. It is the
only lottery ever voted and endors
ed by the people of any State. Hav
ing been instituted, it was justly
deemed necessary to have its manage
ment secured against suspicion, and
two great Confederate Generals, who
heroically risked their lives in the
cause of the South, w'ere invited to
superintend the drawings. We have
heard that they reluctantly consent
ed, influenced no doubt, by the same
noble and patriotic devotion that took
them to many bloody fields in the
cause of their beloved section. Beau-
reguard and Early, whose names are
the very synonyms of chivalry and
honor, will live in the admiring and
loving hearts of the people of our
south land, far longer than perdura
ble marble can last to perpetuate
their fame. Sam Jones has com
mitted an unpardonable sin, in
saying they “will soon be laid to rest
in a grave covered all over with., iomo-
ineuiwmie tne writer lives, without
being rebuked with just indignation.
Private Way Through City Commons
Prohibition in Hancock.
Was recognized and sustained by
Ordinary’ Sanford, last week, in an
application by Dr. J. B. Duggan and
others for the removal of a fence re
cently erected by Cox & Gardner, on a
tract of West common, lately pur

The warm canvass upon the liquor

480 for and 393 against prohibition,
the majority being 87. A friend writ-

the Ordinary hod no jurisdiction to
hoar and determlnine such an issue
arising within the corporate limits,
but that it was exclusively cognizable
iu the Mayor’s Court. The fact of the
seven years prescriptive right of way
was established clearly, we hear. The
question of jurisdiction, however,
“hung the jury” all night Judgment
was rendered for the plaintiffs the
next day, and the ease will go to the
higher Courts, if there is any higher
Court than our Ordinary.
The final decision of this question
is said to have a good deal of impor
tance attached to it, as in a number of
similar cases, legal measures may’ be
taken to open roads or steets through
land heretofore sold by the city au
thorities, with the streets included, as
iu the above case.
Capt. C. P. Crawford represented
the plaintiffs and Messrs. Whitfield
and Allen the defendants.
It is said, preparations are being
made for the execution of Riel. Fonr
physicians have been secretly examin
ing him to ascertain whether there is
uuy truth iu his reported insanity.
They were appointed by the Canadian
government to make.the examination.
One of them, Dr. Lavells, expresses
the opinion that he is insane. We
presume of course that the case will
be settled by the opinion of the ma
jority. If they should be equally di
vided the Governor General, Lord
Landsdowne, will decide his fate. As
far as is known only one believes him
to be insane. If two of the four
should concur in that opinion it is
probable that executive clemency will
be extended to the unfortunate man.
Riel's acts were terrible and blood
thirsty. Eight of his followers it is
said will be hanged, and he, as the
chief and leader, can only hope for
clemency in the certainty of his in
sanity’. There is much sympathy for
him under the belief that his reason is
dethroned.
Free Trade Meeting at Chicago.
Some 200 delegates met inHaverly’s
Minstrel Hall on the 11th. Hon. Da
vid A. Wells, President, called the
meeting to order. Gen. Stiles of Chi
cago, delivered an address of welcome.
R. R. Bowker, Honorary Secretary of
the conference, read a report in which
he stated there were tariff reform as
sociations in 13 States, and local or
ganizations in many other States. He
urged the necessity of planning for
great campaign and the first step
to raise $20,000, which will be needed
for this and the next year in view of
the Congressional elections of 1886.
J. Q. Smith read an address on “tariffs
and their relations [to farmers.”
telegram was received from Henry
Watterson of the Louisville Courier
Journal, that, at the latest moment
he regretted his inability to attend
the meeting. Frank Hurd and ex
Gov. J. Sterling Morton, Benj. Reese,
of Toledo, Mr. Dargan. of South Car
olina and Gen. Win. Trumbull made
speeches at night. Mr. Hurd was the
last speaker.
He said, “Grand Master Powilerly
of the knights of labor, asserts that
there are over $1,500,000 laboring men
who were able anil willing to work
who are out of employment caused
by’ so-called over-production: that
word “over-production” is only anoth
er term for no market, caused by the
absence of freedom for trade and by
the ignorant selfishness of protected
manufacturers.”
At this point the Anarchist, Gor
such, of this city, who had taken t
seat among the delegates, arose, and
declaring himself a free trader, de
manded permission to ask Hurd
question. The audience ignorant of
the interrogator's identity, seconded
him in his effort. “Why,” he shout
ed in stentorian tones, “ilo not those
1,500,000 of men organize an industry
for themselves against the protected
manufacturers. That is a question
of a Socialist.” The rest of his
marks were drowned in hisses, and
the audience quickly’ left the hall.
We are indebted to the Augusta
Chronicle for the article from which
we make up this statement. Qnr
readers are well aware that we favor
a reform in the tariff. For some time
we have said but little about the tar
iff and our silence has been caused by
a desire to see all democrats firmly
united on this as well as all other po
litical questions. * Mr. Cleveland is
pledged to a tariff reform, and we
have preferred to await an exposition
of liis views on the subject. Our par
ty is now in power in all departments
of the Government except the Senate
and we are anxious to see the Demo
crats in a majority in that body.
Though not the most brilliant, dis
cretion is the most useful quality of
the mind. Let us be cautions; 1*4 us
see what our able and good President
may suggest and if we can be a unit
the reins of power may long exist in
the hands of the great Jeffersonian
Democracy.
A Frightful Wreck.—A terrible
accident occured at Bluestone (Quarry,
on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
on the 12th, owing to a switch being
misplaced. A train, sleeper, coaches,
two baggage cars and express car,
were thrown from the track and com
pletely wrecked. The sleeper rolled
over the embankment, on its side 30
feet below, into the river. The cars
were thrown together anil broken up.
One member of Congress and a num
ber of ’Government officials were a-
board. Twenty one persons were in
jured, several badly. Congressman
Boyle was seriously hurt; but it was
hoped that he would survive the inju
ry. The officials of the road say that
the switch had evidently been tam
pered with for the purpose of causing
the wreck.
The Balkan troubles continue in
state of confusion with no very defl
nite action on the part of the small
States, or the great Powers. We do
not care to wade through all the in
terminable conflicting views of the
various parties. The powers, who
could settle the matter, differ in their
views and the question of the Berlin
treaty is far from being settled by its
makers. Perhaps the powers, as the
result of their conference, may give
shape to the problem of settlement.
The Berlin treaty is plain enough,
but some who participated in making
it, seem disposed to disregard some of
its provisions. A conference is being
held, but will they command obedi
ence to the treaty? Every thing de
pends upon the result of the confer
ence. If the treaty is thrown over
board, new arrangements will of
course be made; each party will adopt
new ideas and plans ana In the ab
sence of any general fixed decision,
each will act in accordance with its
views of its own interests. No one at
this stage of the difficulties can form
any opinion of what may occur
Prince Alexander is brother-in-law
of Beatrice, one of Queen Victoria’s
(laughters. The Czar and Denmark
want Prince Waldemar, who is a son
of the King of Denmark, and married
Princess Marie daughter of the Dnc
de Chartres. So it seems that instead
of being governed by a formal treaty
of the Powers and the principles of
justice, the fight is on what Prince,
because of relationships of marriage
to Queens and Kings, shall be put on
the little Balkan States.
This election places ust In the posi
tion of being ahnost^arroiinded by
prohibition counties: The only out
let from Baldwin for a “thirsty" indi
vidual who wished to avoid those
arid- regions where he could not get
a drink with facilty, would be through
Washington county. And there, the
great leader of the prohibition party
in the last Legislature, Mr. Pringle,
lives and will probably ere long, carry
his county with him In the march
of the great movement which is mak
ing triumphant progress throughout
the Bt&te. -
The important point is, what is
Baldwin going to do about it. It is
useless to t ry to dodge this greet ques
tion of morals and policy, which is
stirring communities to their depths
in all the counties which have not as
yet acted upon it. We shall have to
settle it here and we earnestly hope it
will he discussed with feelings which
should prevail among friends who are
trying to arrive at right conclusions
concerning a matter in which we all
have a mutual aud common interest.
As advocates of prohibition, we shall
earnestly deprecate the use of harsh
terms towards those who differ from
us. aud es(>ecially all fanatical denun
ciation of men who have heretofore
used their lawful privilege to deal in
liquor. Many of them are honorable,
upright and generous and will cheer
fully bow to the will of the majority
as expresed at the polls. We propose
to act justly towards all men, and if
we cannot succeed by the use of well
known facts and incontrovertible
arguments, we shall feel, under the
disappointment of defeat, the consol
ing oonsciouness of duty faithfully per
formed and enjoy the approval of a
clear conscience. We have, however,
but little fear of defeat. The tem
perance movement* is victorious near
ly everywhere and we have no reason
to be fearful of defeat here, if every
friend of the cause will but do his
duty faithfully, when the time for ac
tion shall arrive.
Ctood Results in Bvery Case.
D. A. Bradford, wholesale paper
dealer, of Chattanooga, Tenn., writes
that he was seriously afflicted with
severe cold, which settled on his lungs;
had tried many remedies without ben
efit; being induced to try Dr. King’s
New Discovery for consumption did
so and was entirely cured by use of
few bottles; since which time he has
used it in his family for all coughs and

A TELLING ARTICLE.
Washington Letter,
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Patti, it is said, guards herself care
fully against cold. She evidently does
not believe in free concerts, but does
believe in the free use of Dr. Bull’s
Cough Syrup, as it lias cured her sev

Washington, Nov. 9, 1885.
The Capitol has been set in order
for the Forty-Ninth Congress. It has
been thoroughly cleaned inside and
outside, newly carpeted, and other
wise made ready for the Representa
tives of sixty millions of people.
Although the new Congress meets
in less than a month, there is little
speculation about its organization.
Usually at this season an exciting con
test over the Speakership is in pro-
gres. This high office, third in rank
of the offices of the Government, and
second ouly to the Presidency in
point of power, is a prize justifying
au earnest canvas. This year, for the
first time almost in the history of
Congress, no contest is indicated. Mr.
Randall has said that he would not be
a candidate for the Speakership, and
Mr. Carlisle is sure to be re-elected, as
the Democrats have a clear majority
of forty-two over the Republicans.
Other old officers are likely to be re
elected, Clark the clerk, and Leedom
Sergeant-at-arms. There is a vacan
cy, caused by death, in the office of
doorkeeper, which is being sought
by three candidates, including Mr.
Eugene Higgins, the much <abused
Appointment Clerk of the Treasury.
The casting of the committees will not
take much time, either, for most of
the old members will get their old
places, or be regularly promoted to
fill vacancies.
Nearly one half of the new Congress
will consist of inexperienced men.
The total number of members iu the
House of Representatives Is 325.
There will be 128 new members.
These will be at a disadvantage for
some time. No matter how able or
how well informed a man may be on
general (Subjects, he will be clumsy in
Congress, until he learns something of
its circuitous methods of doing busi
ness. It has been charged that the
rules of the House were made especial
ly for the purpose of retarding legis
lative work. The majority rule was
abolished loug ago, and the present
rules are so constructed that a well led
minority can defeat with ease the
most positive will of the majority.
Governor-elect Fithugh Lee of Vir
ginia, and also the Lieutenant-Gover-
nor-elect Massey, have been In the
city since their election. General Lee
came with his two sons to make some
purchases, and only remained a few
hours. Everywhere he went on the
streets he was followed by a congrat
ulatory crowd that insisted on shak
ing hands with him.
Senator Malione is so broken polit
ically and socially, that some of his
friends have been urgjng him to leave
Virginia and make his home in Wash
ington in the future.
Everything that the President in
tends to recommend in liis message,
will, it is thought, receive the sup
port of his party. The Administra
tion is in high spirits and great har
mony .among Democrats is looked
for now. The party feels united and
strengthened by recent victories, and
that it has been given new vigor and
a long lease of political ascendancy.
Tli - Star Shone Brightly on an Algiers Trl*. j
Some days ago three very worthy
citizens of Algiers, La., Augustus Kev-
lin. a joiner on Patterson st.; Louis
Hyinel, foreman of the Vallette dry
dock, and Anthony O. Gnillot, ma
chinist at Patterson and Oliver eta.,
all industrious and accomplished me
chanics, of the highest respectability,
bought a one-dollar ticket in the Oc
tober Drawing of The Louisiana State
Lottery. Yesterday when the draw
ing of the lottery "was announced it
was found that the one-dollar ticket
had won one-fifth of the capital prize
of $75,000. Nor was their equanimity
disturbed by their winning $5,000
each.—New Orleans, Daily States, Oct.
14.
The Atlanta Capitol comes to the
front with the following article:
In three-fourths of Georgia prohibi
tion has been tried with the best re
sults. Iu uot a single proven case has
it failed to better the condition of a
community. It has diminished crime,
decreased litigation, relieved disorder,
shortened the courts, lessened the oc
cupancy! of jails, mitigated poverty,
increased sobriety, swelled the church
membership, preserved the young
men from dissipation, checked law
lessness, enhanced private virtue,
helped the public welfare, spread
peace anil happiness, stimulated mor
ality, furthered the blessed cause of
religion, enlarged the sphere of home
joy and contentment, multiplied in
dividual prosperity, reduced taxation,
strengthened schools, placed business
upon a better basis, and elevated civ
ilization.
Striking instances of business, so
cial and moral improvement could be
given, and a grand record of popular
amelioration shown to the world.
With such a benificent harvest from
prohibition, can any prohibitionist
conscientiously desert his cause? And
Is there not the most powerful induoe-
~.—jiGy, every well-wisher
of law, and every true citizen of our
community to fairly and prayerfully
consider whether the time has not vet
arrived to give to our young giant of
a city—our throbbing young Titan of
a metropolis—the prestige, the benefit
and the glory of this great Christian
reform?
But this vast question cannot be
discussed in one article.
The Capital throws whatever news
paper influence it possesses on the
side of prohibition.
It will give a fair, temperate, con
servative discussion of the subject
Abiding open its columns for the re
spectful presentation of argument on
both sides, but editorially advocating
the prohibition cause in a proper spir
it and with argument alone.
The writer has a personal interest
in this matter beyond his strong con
victions of duty. He has a young boy
who is the pride of his heart, and
whose career of sobriety and honor
may be thwarted by dissipation.
Thousands of noble boys have been
wrecked and are being daily ruined by
the gilded intemperance that tempts
at every corner ot our streets. No
youth is tafe from the peril. What
is it that bands together in solid con
cert our women on the side of proliibi
tion all over the country? Mothers,
wives, sisters, daughters mourn over
wrecked homes and ruined fathers,
husbands, sons and brothers. It was
truthfully said the other night that
there is hardly a family that cannot
point to some victim to intemperance
in its membership.

STATE LUNATIC ASYLUM. >
Near Milledgeville, Ga.
ICthNov. 1885.}
At a meeting of the Trustees, Offi
cers, etc, T. F. Newell, Vice President
of the Board in the chair anil F. G.
Grieve, Secretary, Dr. T. O. Powell,
Super intcadent, presented the follow
ing memorial. .
A great and-good man, a faithful
and effioftnt public officer, lm* pa-.--d
from lftbor to rest.
Judge John Hammond, the Steward
of the Georgia Lunatic Asylum, died
at his home iu Midway, Ga., of paral
ysis, Nov. 13th, 1885." Age, 74 years,
one month and sixteen days.
In writing a tribute to the memory
of so good and nseful a man as Judge
John Hammond, who has been the*
efficient and faithful Steward of tin-
Asylum for the Insane for many wears.
1 feel and know that I am not equal
to the task. It was, however, Hie.
privilege of the writer to have knravu
him intimately for about twenty-fftur
years. He was juodest, unassuming-
and retiring in his disposition, not
confiding, save to those he knew well.
The more I was thrown with him, the
more I loved him and appreciated his
great worth. His high social qualities
endeared him to all who knew 1b in
welL When I came to the Institut i< >n
in 1882 he was then Steward of the
Asylum. It was my good fortune.to
come constantly in contact with liiju.
While he was quiet and retiring iu |iis
disposition, and slow to make ac
quaintances, I soon saw in him a true
man, the soul of honor. My appreci
a tion and attachment for him grew
day by day, up to his death : my be
teavement tsthpfrof a friend. He-was
• true friend; a wise counsellor, his
convictions of duty were -always met.
boldly, regardless of circumstances
and surroundings ; he had great w ill
power, and could say no quickly
when duty demanded it. He was
faithful to every conviction of duty,
aud fell a martyr toll. He literally
lived for the official trust he held, to
thealmost entire neglect of his private
matters. He was a warm supporter
of all measures looking to the general
good of his County and State, express
ing his opinions boldly and freely, re
gardless of public opinion, condemn
ing whatever he thought was wrong.
He was a good judge of men, seem ed
to know them by intpition. He Was
one of the most charitable men I ever
knew; very few knew of his liberal
charity, for he shrank from every 11 dug
like notoriety. A great part of liis
life has been that of a public office r;
he has, for more than thirty years,
been connected with the Asylum i yr
the Insane, as Steward, Secretary, and
Trustee, save about five or six y.-irs.
In 1874 ha was Trustee with Dr. Bd/.e-
man, Col. Whittle, Col: Pinkard, Col
Mott, and General Pkillips, when M r.
Brown, Steward at that time, died.
The Institution was then growing
rapidly, and the responsible position
of Steward required a man of sterling
Integrity, and fine executive and fi
nancial ability. The Trustees ca st
about to see who they could find’ to
fill "the important trust. Hav i ug be* -n
thrown intimately with Judge Ham
mond as Trustee, they knew well his
integrity and ability as a business
man, and his commendable zeal and
devotion to duty; hence they request
ed him.to resign as Trustee and take
the position of Steward, which he did.
andwhich positionUecontinued to fill,
to the ffilland complete satisfaction of
the Trustees, andtojjie great benefit of
ths State, up to the day of hi*- last
sickness, as the records will show.
Some three or four years back, \h is
health began to fail. I advised the
Trastees of his true condition, and
they urged him to give up some of the
laborious work to his. Assistant, but
faithful to his convictions of duty,
he continued to perform the duties *>f
his office until the 10th of October,
when he was stricken down with pa
ralysis.
He was the first Ordinary of Bald
win County, elected in 1852, and
served in that capacity to the full am)
complete satisfaction of the ‘people,
and with honor to himself, up to
Gov. Bullock’s administration. He
was bom In Jefferson County, in
1811. His father, Col. Abner Ham
mond, of revolutionary fame, remov
ed to Milledgeville, Ga., to hold. I
think, the position of Secretary of
State, when his son, John, was only
three or four months old. Here he
was educated and lived liis entire life.
Matron; remarkable memory, oi decid
ed liter ay taste, fond of reading.
In 1842 he was married to Miss (’ar
rie Fort, daughter of Judge Moses
Fort and neice of Dr. Tomlinson Fort
He leaves a wife, four daughters, anil
two sons to mourn their loss. He was
devoted husband anil father. Ho
was the oldest member of the Methodic
church in Milledgeville, at his ileatl ,
having been a member for 56 years.
While he was not very demonstrative,
he lived a consistaut Christian life, for
mari^yMirs steward of the church, and
Trustee up to his death. He met all
the demands of the church cheerfully
and much more liberalise, than it was
thought his limited means justified.
In his youth he was rather tall, digni
fied, and handsome—in old age vener
able. He has passed from Ins labors
to rest. No more will we have liis
wise counsel, his official and fuitlilul
co-operation, in the discharge of our
duties at the Asylum, but he has left
us a rich legacy in his record.
In his death, the church, the Asy
lum and the community have sus
tained a heavy loss and tlie State has
lost pne of its most efficient and faith
ful officers. No. wonder the Chief Mag-i
istratc. of the State, telegraph.-:
a Tn the death of Mr. Hammond, the
Lnnatic Asylum has lost an admirable
official.—I tender to his farnilv and
associates my profoundest sympa
thies.”
