Hon. Thos. W. Grimes was not the choice of
the Tillies for representative of the fourth in con
gress. Ho is little known to the people of Carroll,
perhaps less known to the editor of the Times
than to many others. But he comes before the
people with such strong endorsement of his
neighbors—of the people whom he has represent
ed in the state legislature and as solicitor-general
in the courts of his circuit as at once commands
our confidence and our hearty support. We have
met him once and our impression of him was
most favorable. To us the expression or his
features bespeak both intellectual force and a
generous and gentle nature—that of one who
loves his fellow-man and is therefore u pat riot.—

A Cow Thief Jailed.
A negro named George Johnson was brought
to the city yesterday, charged with killing a cow
on Mr. Henry Almond’s place with a view to
stealing the carcass and selling it for beef. The
Cow belonged to a negro woman on the place and
was grazing in a field. Mr. Almond was attracted
by a pistol shot and going in the direction from
which the sound came, he met the negro and af
terward found the dead cow. The negro was evi
dently going tA arrange for moving the cow, but
Mr. Almond interferred with his plans by arrest
ing him and bringing him to this city. He had
« preliminary trial before Judge Wynne, and in
default of bail in the sum of $100, he was sent to
jail.

A Tree (k Known By Its Fruit.
In another column of this paper is found the
advertisement of the LaGrange female college,
RufUa W. Smith, president, it is a pleasure for
us to say a word or two in reference to this school
which is neither superficial nor denominational.
Believing there can be no higher calling than a
conscientious teacher, Prof. Smith has devoted
people, did not pause
I the desired information, but as if
by instinct the thirsty man hurried on towards
i Springer’s corner.
The next heard of him lie* was in Mayor Grimes’
court, protesting that he was not drunk but had j
| only taken too ■ much Opelika ether. Mayor t
l Grimes, with his accustomed hospitality, extend- j
i od the Vicksburg traveler the freedom of the city
f of Macon provided he would leave on tlie first ,
i train. He promised and was allowed to leave the I
j court a free man.
| Columbus whisky, however, seems to have had i
j a charm for this man. and instead of taking the i
i risk on Macon’s being n dry town, lie decided to j
j remain a while longer. In the afternoon lie was j
j found by the police mounted on a dry goods box :
i near tho Broad street depot advertising his 1
powers ns a frontier revivalist. He was kindly j
taken in, and Mayor Grimes was surprised to ;
meet him in his court again yesterday morning, j
When his name was called Mayor Grimes asked: j
“I suppose you have been taking too much |
ether again.*’
“No, your honor; I cannot tell a lie. It was red
liquor this time. I u as s c’< yesterday and the
landlady advised me to take n drink of black
berry wine. This advice was not hard to take,
neither was the wine; but when I drank that
wine an irrepressible longing for something
stronger took possession of me, and if I took
one drink of red liquor I took forty. I have no
defense to make. I simply throw myself upon
the mercy of the court.”
Mayor Grimes delivered a free lecture on the
folly of the excessive use of ether or red liquor,
meanness oi some great people.

allege in the beginning that from time immemo

that much abused territory have been

“Mr. John D. Carter has sold the vacant lot on
Third avenue to Mr. B. A. Biggers for $3750,’* re
marked a prominent real estate agent yesterday
to a small party of gentlemen.
There was a general verdict that the price paid
was a good one, but not too much when the
bright future of Columbus is considered. The
lot is just back of Mr. Carter’s old home
and is about a quarter of an acre. The
locality is a most desirable one, but still a yoar
ago $3750 would have been considered a very
steep price for it. The fact is Columbus is
booming and is bound to boom a good deal
more. The Georgia Mivland and the Columbus
and AVesteru extension have served to strengthen
the confidence of people in the ftiture of the
city, and on every hand there are evidences of
renewed life.
