AA'hile in Calhoun last week, during tin; session of Court, it was remarked to us by an attorney of shrewd in sight and common sense acumen that, the Grand Jury was as fine a body of men, singularly and collectively, as he had ever seen drawn out of the Jury box of any county. To read I lie document they present lo their peo ple, published in another column, you agree in totn to vvhat the attor ney said. It shows upon its face Rome good, earnest, careful work for the county's constituency, ami clearly presents even to a casuist in thought ful minds that made the paper. Some important recommendations and conclusions arc given; but we don't propose to synnp.-i/c, so read. In reference to the recommenda tions given the News oil account of its general circulation, ns best suited as the official organ of the county, we most humbly bow our acknowl edgements. and return many, ninny thanks. AVe propose for our paper to ever have a high and noble stand ard of journalism, ami to be hold, fearless, unswerving and unbending in its course. AVe aim to work for, battle for and sustain our section of country, lo give a live, newsy, pro greasive. well-balanced, well-edited paper, and to these ends will ever use our energies. The recom mendation of the Callmmi Grand Jury is an appreciation that we will not forget. To the worthy gentlemen who en tered the protest we make our obeil- anre, and say we do not bluine them at all. but rather commend them. If we mistake not, a majority out of the five sire originally Early county people, and thus it is explained. New Militia District. The Board nl' Commissioners of Ronds and Revenues of Calhoun coun ty has given notice that a new Militia District has been formed and laid on: of the Xorth end of tln-tiSfilh District, G. M., of said county, bounded on the North by the Terrell county line; East by the Chiekasawhnteliie creek; AVest by tlie Ilehaway-Xotchaway creek, and on the South by the laud line running east between lots Nos. 182 and 178 on east and lots Nos. lPl and 167 on west side. The same liar- been entered on the mi not os of the Board, and forwarded to the Govern or, and numbered by him as Militia District 1301. You Can'i Help Skei.no it.—AVe mean the nmminoth advertisement of Mr. Joseph Ehrlich, a more extended notice of which w ill appear in onr next. Tribute of Respect. Tlie Atigel of death lias summoned to the throne of Jehova one, whose loss we deeply mourn. The devotional piety, the implicit trust our departed sister reposed in the tiod of onr Fathers led her safety over the rugged paths of her earthly destiny, 'ameliorated her bodily suf ferings anil upheld her in the 'hours of trials ami sorrow. Mrs. Mariana Grass rests by the side of her son, who in the bloom of youth left his bereaved parents to be wail his loss; she reposes by the side of her husband who was called from her side by the inexorable decree of Providence, when sickness had chain ed her to the bed of sufferings, when two little orphans looked up to her for comfort mid sustenance. Drinking life everlasting and eter nal joy out of the pure fountain of her spotless life, freed from its earth ly fetters, her spirit soars iu regions celestial, oonsumating the union en tered into upon earth, mid now sealed in Heaven. The Angel of Peace and divine con solation will hover over the bereaved family anil |mur comfort into the bleeding hearts of the orphans sob bing at the grave of their parents; the God of Isreal, the God of tin- afHined aud motherless will guide their foot steps. and ever lead them iu the paths of virtue, lead them in the wav their devoted mother would have them go. A faithful mother, a pious sister haslet! our midst; our. community has lost an'ornument. llesolced.

AVe find that the Court house needs Rome improvements, which we recom mend be looked after by the proper authorities. AVe here report the roads and bridges of the county in excellent con dition, with some exceptions. The road leading from Leary to Milford is iu bad order, notin consequence, how ever, ol‘ remissness of duty on the part of the Road Commissioner*, but owing to the fact the road puses through a low, dat section for some miles, and that said road Is a new-cut road, not having been in existence long enough to have been packed by travel. AVe also find on the road leading from Leary to Timmons’ bridge, two smsll bridges needing re pairs, and we call the attention of the Commissioners of Roads and Rev enues to the necessity ofpurehulng lumber for repairing said bridges after which we recommend that the Road Commissioners of the 3d Dis trict proceed at ones to put. la order tsid bridges. The Committee ou Public Roads find the books of the various officers of the county, including the Ordina ry and Treasurer, Clerk of the Court, bhcrlff and County School Commis sioner, Judge of the County Court aud Commissioners of Roads and Revenues, neatly kept and having the appearance of beiug correctly kept.— The books of the Justices or the Peace we also rind in proper condi tion, except a slight omission in the books of the Magistrate for the 3d District, who has failed for some months past to enter up and itemise as required by law, on his docket cases disposed'of, and respectfully call his attention to this omission.
