LEGAL NOTICE.

ter this .lute the legsl advertisiag, citations
Ac., issuing from the Ordinary - Office will
appunr in the (,'uvingtoa Sun, until further
notice. K F. HOWARDS, Ordinary.
Fob. IMrd, ISHS. In]
This means, if it means anything,
that the Ordinary desires to ‘reprove’
The Enterprise for daring to oppose
Indcpcudcntism in Newton county.
So lie it, now that this officer has
seen proper to remove his official pat
ronage from this paper, he is thus put
|on notice that his political history
1 shall be placed on record and kept
there to bo used against him should
he ever again offer for office in New
ton county or the State of Georgia.
His private character is his personal
property and we have not one word
to whisper against it, but we are de
termined that lie shall not pose as an
! organized Democrat abroad while he
i runs tor office as an Independent at
| home. In justice to our readers we
I will say that every notice issued
from bis office will continue to be
published in this paper, while the Star
will also publish the legal sales. This
| arrangement was made in order that
l the greatest publicity possible should
Is- given to the official advertisements
iof Newton county. Ordinary Ed
wards knew of this arrangement —
knew that we were willing to divide
the county patronage with the Star—
yet, he desires to show his disfavor of
our devotion and feaitv to the Deni- j
ocratic party by refusing to continue
to acknowledge that the Enterprise is
worthy to publish notices issuing from
his high office which he secured only
“by the skin of his teeth.” No mat
ter what motive actuated him to pub
lish his “Legal Notice,” we shall in
sist that it was done on account of
our remaining true to the nominees
of the Democratic party. To-day is
not always, neither is to-morrow for
ever. We shall watch the future,
not failing to keep pace with the pres
ent, and probably be near at hand
in the sweet and blessed bye-and-bye
when the “Judge” gets to “nosing
around” after an office outside the
“Independent ladt.” Had be the
power he would doubtless deprive us
of all the county patronage ; yet, we
do not believe the people of old New
ton wi I see tin- Enterpris - “crippled"
on account of the Ordinary with.:raw
ing his pair mage t’r >.n a- mat a •
had a rigiit to do so, we i > u .t deny,
that we have a right to “treasure it
up against him,” none will dispute.
MAJOR BROWN IN TOWN.
Major Frank Brown “shook” our
hand Saturday for the first time in
near 20 years, it will Iw remembered
by many of our readers that Frank
was, at one time, a conspicuous char
acter in this community, ile imag
ined that he was very wealthy, and
called himself the “F. F. \ . of
Georgia. Soon after the war he de
manded of Hon. Jas. L. Jones ‘■per
sona! satisfaction” for having circula
ted a report that “Major Brown had
a spine in his back and blue-blood in
his veins.” He is as close an observer
as ever, for, before he told us good
bye be spied a shot gun in.the corner
and remarked: “That gun was an
old fiint-and-steel single barrel pistol
the last time 1 saw you, and if “she’’
keeps growing “she” will lie a Krupp
cannon before long, shooting steel
shells and solid shot by telephone.”
A rich and racy work could be penn
ed on the life and character of this
j easy-going, good-natured man, whose
greatest mistake was in letting a wu
| ter gate fall on the bare hack of Jim
DeEaney while he was taking a show
er bath under Floyd’i mill race iu 18-
65. Another error he committed in
his youth was that ol filling Bennett
Harper’s sucker hole with thorn bush
es and retiring to a safe distance to
enjoy the sport wheit the old man
jerked and hear him give vent to his
feelings by “cussing the luck.” Hun.
dreds of amusing incidents could be
recorded in which lie figured, but we
do not wish to stir up the ‘old Adam’
in our frrend’s nature, for a kinder,
more accommodating man ever lived
than Frank Brown, and our object in
writing this item is to let the world
know that he still lives and is in the
best of health.
SPEER’S CONFIRMATION.
Emory Speer was confirmed Judge
of the Southern district of Georgia, ;
by the U. S. Senate, one day last!
week, by the hare majority of one j
vote. The vote which fastened this
infamy upon a proud people was cast:
by one Joseph E. Brown, a so-called
Democratic Senator. This gray-hair
ed old reprobate thew an insult in
the face of his people when he cham
pioned the cause of the renegade and
“political turn-coat” Speer, and by
his work and influence had his ap
pointment confirmed. For, without
his voice and vote the mirage would
IK vet h vc he i pc petrated. Will
this insult he resented by the peoples
representatives at the July session of
the Legislature by asking Mr. Brown
to step down and out of the Senate ?
Georgia has honored this man tar be
yond what his services or fidelity to
the Democratic party warranted. As
a reward for crimes forgiven and hon
! ors awarded, he insults the in toll i
' gence of his State by securing a life
time .Judgeship for such a man as
Emory Speer is known lo he. Joe
Brown should he made to' know that
i lie is no longer “boss of both politi
cal parties in Georgia. This old gal
vanized radical in disguise should
lx? kicked out of the democratic party.
IN AND AROUND THE CITY.
SHORT CHAT ABOUT EVERYTHING
AND EVERYBODY.
'frit, lightly over trouble,
Trip lightly over wrong;
We only make grief double
By dwelling on it long.
Why clasp woe’s hand so tightly :
Why sigli o’er blossom’s dead?
Why cling to forms unsightly?
Why not seek joy instead.
Trip lightly over sorrow
Though all the day be daik,
The sun may shine to-morrow,
Ami gayly sing the lark,
Fair hopes have not departed,
Though roses may have fled :
Then never be down-hearted,
But look for joy instead.
Trip lightly over sadness,
Stand not to rail at doom ;
We’ve pearls to strings of gladness,
On this side of the tomb;
| While the stars are nightly shining,
And heaven is overhead,
Encouraging not repining,
But look for joy instead.
