Jt is about lime for the false witnesses, the liars and tho perjurers to be looked after. Our people should do their best to have the Guorgia Midland railroad ex .tended from McDonough to Coving ton. We need this road and it would be the best pitying railroad property in the south, when the eost of con struction is considered. Jt would not require a very heavy outlay to byild this line. | Not only dealers, but everybody else, are put upon fair warning that j Hie Governor has signed the bill to prohibit tho sale or furnishing of cig arettes, tobacco or cigurette paper or any substitute therefor to minors.— 4 here arc a great many cigarette smokers among the minors of Coving ton, and hereafter any one furnishing Them with cigarettes—either by sale or gift—is a violator of the law, and subject to imprisonment for not more than a year or tine of not exceeding 8i ,000, or both. A. little past 10 o’clock last Satur day night Mr. James Wilson, pf Jas per county, died quite suddenly on the streets of Covington. An inquest was held and a vqnliot returned that lie came to bis death from heart dis ease. His body was shrouded, placed in a neat coffin and carried to his res idence by friends and relatives. He was called here as a witness in court, and appeared to be in good health up to the time of bis death. He was per haps 80 years of age and bail been Coroner of Jasper county for more than one-third of his life. In January, 1886, Mr. Isham Kel ly was shot on the road leading from Starrsville to bis home, and died al most immediately. Mr. Wm. .Simp son was charged with the crime. He fletl, was captured this year in Greene county and brought to trial here last week. He admitted the killing but tiled a plea of self-defense. A jury of his countrymen returned a verdict of voluntary manslaughter. Hons. J. M. Pace and L. L. Middlebrook, of Covington, and Col. Fred Foster, of Madison, defended the prisoner, while Col. J. F. Rogers and Solicitor General E. Womack represented the state. The prisoner had not been sentenced when we went to press.

There was a largo crowd present and/or an hour and a half t{ie Colonel ,enter taiued and ejithused his audience. It was a splendid effort, full of facta, reason and logic. After <the speech, I/on. John D. Stewart, our immedi ate. Congressman, was called for and responded with a twenty minutes talk in which he related an auecdote or two and jumped on the.tariff, trusts, .combines and molopolies with both feet. All in all the two hours recess given by the coprt was pleasantly and profitably utilized. On Thursday, ,19th inst., Mr. W. H. Wells, of Covington, was united in marriage to Miss Minnie V. Calla way, of Oglethorpe county. Rev. R. J. Bigham, of Augusta, officiated. The ceremony came off at the home of the bride's parents. Col. and Mrs. Thomas I’. Callaway, and was wit nessed by members of the family and a few special friends, /lie happy couple came immediately to Coving ton where the gallnut groom had .erected a handsome new residence for fiis charming bride.

The saloon tempts the weak, breads crime, increases tuxes, is mi outrage on public decency, and tills our jails with .criminals. Down with it! Heuutor Bluir says : Very few peo ple have studied this subject. When the American Nation lias thoroughly done so, the liquor traffic will be pro hibited as a great crime by all the laws and forces of the nation and of the atntcs. Over 1,106 magistrates ill Ireland hove signed a memorial complaining of tho excessive number of public houses as the cause of most of the crime and poverty of Ireland. The population has diminished by one half through poverty, and there remains to-day J. 7,000 public houses in the country “in excess of the require ments.” llow much would fill “the requirement,” we wonder? The new Earl of Carlisle is a strong teetotaller, and so is Lady Carlisle. Since he has had the management of the estates as one of the trustees he lias closed all the public houses on the property. The cellar at I’astle Howard contained some of the best home-brewed ale iu England, mid the brew-houses were famous everywhere, but they ha,ve been entirely destroyed and the vats emptied. Says the London Christian World : In England temperance is becoming not only respectable but popular.— Never belb.re has the cause found such support from a lord iniaycg of Lon don. The lord mayor of York is a total abstainer of thirty years’ stand ing. The mayor of Birmingham is a life abstainer, as also is the mayor of Ripod. The mayor of Stafford lias a teetotal experience of 53 years and the mayor of Sheffield 49 years. ..
