DON’T GRIND THE POOR.
For the Georgia Enterprise.]
Mr. Editor : —ln a recent issue of
your paper you give to your readers
the presentments of the lust Grand
Jury.
One recommendation therein I trust
will never lie adopted by a Newton
county hoard of commissioners. Ire
fer to the proposition to “let tin
eounty poor farm to the lowest bid
dcr."
Such a course would he to put a
premium on grinding the faces of our
poor. Any man who would take the
contract to keep the poor of the
county with a view to making money
would not hesitate to pul them on the
very scantiest allowance of food and
clothing short of starvation and rags.
1 applaud the spirit of investigation
and frank expression shown by the
Grand Jury. If they found needless
expense, or careless or incompetent
management on the part of the pres
ent superintendent, they have done
just right in bringing the matter to
the notice of the commissioners and
the public generally. I am in full
sympathy with every effort towards a
proper retrenchment and economy in
our county affairs, but think the very
last to be cut down is the pitiful sum
appropriated for the support of the
unfortunates whose necessities have
driven them to our poor farm.
Rather let us iuerease their few
comforts and as far as possible make
them forget that they are homeless
aud friendless and dependent. And
to this end I would suggest that our
commissioners select the very kindest
and tenderest Christian man to lie had,
put him in charge and pay him such
| a salary as shall save him from the
temptation to withhold from the poor
in order to increase his own revenues.

A GEORGIA HERO.
WHO LIVES IS THE Col STY Of NEWTON
For the Georgia Enterprise.]
Did you ever know a living hero?
a mun who did a noble deed —a deed ;
when exumined in clear sunlight is|
found “without spot or blemish or
any such thing ?”
The commander-in-chief of the Bri
tish army, Lord Wohtely, says, “J i
never saw but two heroes in all my |
life —one, Chinese Gordon ; the other
Robert E. Lee.”
I know of another —a living man— j
a Georgian.
If the memory of his deed of pa
triotism shall perish, let shame crim
son the the check of every son of
Georgia. This man is as unknown
to fame as to history.
If he should chance to see these
lines in his county paper, he will not
suspect that he is the man spoken of,
hut will think it is some other “Joe
Roqucmore.”
I recall distinctly, the last time I
ever saw him, remember how he look
ed. It was iu ’7l, the last of May or
first of June. At the town ot C, in
the county of N, at store ot P & Cos.
He asked for credit until fall. Forty
dollars worth of corn and meat would
be enough, he said.
With this amount, at “time prices"
of’7l, he fed, for five long months,
a horse, himself, five children and a
wife. How? The guardian angel of
one of Georgia’s honest son’s could
tell —no one else knows. I can never
forget his looks. He’s six feet high,
perhaps an inch above. His face and
form are thin—not gaunt; so were
his hands and arms Eves and hair
jet black, with face aud hands tanned
brown. He wore his whiskers just as
they grew—no trimming, nor pulling
out of those which cold and heat and
lack of everything, but hardships,
made white at 39.
His feautures were not regular—
but in every line were firm.
This suited the patient, intrepid
soul within.
His face reminds me of a picture
I’ve seen somewhere of John Calvin.
Bishop Marvin’s features, if you can
recall them in ’73, had sharp resem
blance to him. Perhaps he is more
like the picture Dick Taylor draws of
“Old Stonewall” at prayer.
When he talked, it was a nasal
drawl —he said naw for no, and fust
for first.
Joe wore an old gray sack coat, not
ragged, but flayed sleeves and faded
front aud rear, arid old of hard ser
vice in more than one campaign.—
That coat had served every day in
winter —on Sunday’s in the summer.
It had one black button near the chin
—more he did not need. His pants
well matched the gray coat and white
shirt —were of “good brown jeans.”
'Thus clothed and shod in No. 10 bro
gans, he stood—every inch a man
But Joe still lives, perhaps you may
yet see his face, or his portrait, in
Georgia’s capital.
In 1862, May 31st. after the day’s
fighting at Seven Pines, two men—
brothers —were apart from their com
mand.
The first, oldest and strongest, had
played a double part that day in the
game of war.
He had been chosen as a member
of the ‘litter corps.’ No wonder ; he
was Chesterfield without his vices;
Florence Nightingale without her
weakness; Chinese Gordon without
his foibles ; a handsome brave soldier,
lie had a bearing in the presence of
men, I huve never seen excelled by
any other in the presence of women.
His dignified, polished manners
were only exceeded by his tender de
votion to wounded comrades.
Enrolled among the bravest of the
brave, was—John Roquemore.
The day of which I write Joe
Roquemore had escaped from a camp
hospital. He ought to have stayed
there. For what right had he in a
raging battle .who was already shot
through both arms? But he was
there and fired his musket too, with
a deadly aim. He managed to get
into ranks —then notified John he
must load for him as he passed. This,
Joe could not well do, because of his
wounds. There might have been seen
that day, that litter bearer stopping
and loading that ‘‘old musket,” then
quickly passing to the rear, with his
dying comrades.
Earnestly—as composed as Ney—
that doubly wounded patriot took aim
and fired. Until John could pass
again Joe could only ‘stand and wait.’
Thus the day was spent ; hour after
hour John loaded and The
day went against us. It will be mem
orable in Southern history for two
other very peculiar facts, on that day
Joe Johnston’s star began to set —
Lee’s to rise toward its zenith of glory.
John tired down, was sitting rest
ing, Joe standing by, (his arm pain
ed less to stand), -his gun at bis side
held near the muzzle with his right
hand, -Suddenly, from the white oak
thicket dashed a squad of Heintzel
man’s cavalry. In a moment “sur
render" rang out from a dozen throats
while the gleaming barrels of well
aimed and cocked carbines added em
phasis to the command —‘surrender!’
John smiled on hi* victorious foes and
surrendered iu these words : “Gentle
men, if it will be any accommodation
to you, I will do so.” But not a word
from wounded Joe.
Again came the stern demand., ‘put
down your gun, sir, or wo’ll shoot
you ; down with your gun.’ Look
ing the men squarely in the face, with
a dozen bullets waiting to pierce his
heart, his strong brother a prisoner,
lie drawliml out: “Naw, I’ll die fust.”
A moment more and the brave spirit
of Joe Roqucmore would have been
hurried from the field of glory to its
honorable place among the “shades
of Valhalla,” John interposed, ‘don’t
shoot him, gentlemen ; he’s my broth
er ; I’ll take Ids gnu from him.”
Then etuae the struggle between
expediency and heroism.
What visions of eternity, of “wife
and bairn*," widowhood, orphanage,
want, must have flashed before his
great soul in that moment! But all
availed nothing with Joe when he
must surrender a musket Georgia iiad
placed in his hands, lie accepted it j
with the pledge to he true to her hon
or. He was true.
John’s superior strength soon bore i
the gun from Joe’s feeble grasp and
laid it at tlio conqueror's feet. —!
There’s a picture for a painter; that
wounded soldier unable to load his
gun, surrounded by twelve well arm
ed foes, refusing to surrender; while
his own strong brother, with a strug
gles disarm him.
Joe Itoqueniore is a prisoner of war.
I know of Miltindes at Marathon
pleading for battle ; Leonidas dying
\t Thermopyl*; Lannes at Lodi,
lighting like a (lemon ; Ney in rags
at Barodino, and Cambronne repell
ing Merde, at Waterloo ; but to my
Southern soul, not one or all of their
names aud deeds thrill me like this
brave deed of the Georgia hero —Joe
Roquemoce. NEMO.
CELEBRATION OF GRAND-MA 1
CONNOR’S 85th BIRTH-DAY.
For the Georgia Enterprise.]
It is quite a pleasing task to record i
the many happy events which trails-;
pired at the social and hospitable;
home of Mrs. Wilson Connor. —
“grand ma Connor” —ns the entire j
community call her—a few evenings |
since. In commemoration of her 85th j
birthday, which took place on the 9th
of April, 1889, many loving friends
decided to give hern “surprise” which j
would nv,t only evince their esteem
for this good and aged lady, but prove
quite gratifying to her children,
grand-children and relatives. Iu pur
suance of this object, her excellent
daughter, Miss Bettie, was informed
iu the afteruoou that some friends
would call and “take tea,” as it was
“grand-ma’s” birthday. She was also
instructed to make no preparations,
whatever, for their reception, as other
arrangements had been made.
As the shades of evening drew near,
the rays of a golden sunset, brilliant
ly lighted up the spacious dining
room, profusely decorated, by many
friends, with gay garlands o l nauure’s
choicest and must fragrant flowers.
The entire community had been invi
ted to join in the loving work —and
when the waiters, baskets and dishes
sent in, were aLi emptied of their de
licious viands, and, with deft fingers,
spread upon the snowy cloths, the ta
bles presented the appearance of a
wedding feast.
As the tables were smiling beneath
their appetizing burdens of delicacies,
so the parlors, hall, veranda, every
available space, was tilled with smil
ing guests, who had congregated to
congratulate this good “Mother in
Israel,” on the long and useful life
vouchsafed her by an all-wise aud
loving Father.
Her immediate family, consisting
of four daughters, viz : Miss Bettie
Connor, Mrs. Wells, Mrs. Osborn,
Mrs. Banks, ten grand children, two
great-grand children and several sons
in-law, were all present, with happy
hearts and felicitous congratulations.
All ages were represented, from the
ancient grandmother, with her silver
ed locks, almost ready to resign “the
fitful fire and fever of life,” to the
dear little lisping infant of two years.
The string band enlivened the occa
sion with sweet strains of melody,
while Misses Lucie and Denie Bagby,
two very handsome grand-daughters,
were the cynosure of all eyes.
By special request of members of
the family I must not omit to men
tion, that Judge E. F. Edwards, de
livered a brief and most appropriate
prayer or “blessing,” at the table,
thanking Kind Providence for his es
pecial care and for the long life of
this “Mother in Israel.” How beau
tiful is old age! and how pleasant the
thought of showing respect, by cele
brating the birth-days of those who
will soon cross over and be at home
“over there.”
This occasion was one long to he re
membered by all present. But should,
ere another twelve months pass, ere
another birth-day day roll around,
“the silver cord he loosed and the gol
den howl be broken at the fountain,”
may this noble, good woman, whose
life has been filled with deeds of kind
ness, hear with rejoicing, the welcome
plaudits, “well done, thou good and
faithful servant! enter into the rest
prepared for you from the beginning.”
And should the Master call, another
birth-day shall he celebrated on the
“other shore,” with an reunited fam
ily and a hurst of hosannas which
shall cause the vaults of heaven to
ring again. A FRIEND.

years’ standing.” Abraham Hare, drugget,

My Mother lias had a cough lor twenty
years, puctimonia leaving her with a bron
chial trouble. Two years ago, her lungs
becoming involved, she became very much
emaciated and lost nil strength, being tin
dor regular treatment of a physician and
taking medicine all hours of the day. This
continued until a year ago when I saw your
advertisement of Dr. Aker's English Rem
edy for Consumption and procured n bot
tle, us the tickling in her throat was unre
mitting and so irritating us to make talk
ing impracticable. She was so much re
■lieved that another bottle was procured and
we now buy by the ease, she never being
without it. She has no physician and takes
no other medicines. She remarked lately
that if she had not procured it when she
did she would now be dead.
We have recommended it to others who
always receive benefit from it If anyone
desiring further particulars will address me
with a stamp I will answer with pleasure,
as 1 deem it the best cough medicine made,
A trial only is necessary to convince
anyone of its merit. Very Respectfully,

I ilesire to stale voluntarily and
for tbe benofit of the public, that
having been troubled with a severe
bronchial difficulty and a terrible
cough for the past two years so that
at times I felt almost discouraged aud
even dispaired of getting better, I
have, through Jhe use of I)r. Acker's
English Remedy for Consumption,
been entirely cured, and cannot, say
100 much in its favor. Judging from
its effects it had upon me, I consid
