At a negro fiolic, near Walnut
Grove, Walton county, oue night last
week, one negro was killed aud sever¬
al wounded. An inquest was held
and the usual verdict rendered, “came
to his death at the hands of parties
unknown to the jury.”
Special taxation for the payment
of a county debt may be all right,
but when such taxation fails to reduce
said debt, then it grows burdensome,
tedious and tiresome, whether the
amount be much or little. The pres¬
ent plan will never clear our county
ot debt, and it seems wise to adopt
s >me other plan. If not bonds, then
the taxes must lie increased to a high¬
er rate, and we do not believe our
people are willing to 1111 increase now.
A large number of the solid farm¬
ers of the county have been in town
within the past week and most of them
appear to be in better humor than is
usual at this season of the year. Fair,
but not large crops, have been made,
many obligations have been met, and
the people at large are better satisfied
with the outlook for the future than
they have been for many long years.
That our people have practiced econo¬
my and been indmtfrious f,,r the past
year is true—that they have been
happier by so doing, is also true.
MEMORIAL SERVICES.
Wednesday, Dec. 11, will long be
remembered by our people. Business
houses were closed from 12 to 2 p m,
bells were tolled aud several stores
were draped in mourning A large
number of ladies and gentlemen met
in the court house to engage in ap¬
propriate memorial services over the
death of Hon. Jefferson Davis.
Judge E. F. Edwards, President of
the Newton County Confederate Vet
era its’ Association, under whose aus¬
pices the service was held, took the
chair. Rev. T. H. Grier opened the
exercises with prayer. Judge Ed¬
wards paid a beautiful and teuder tri¬
bute to the life and character of Mr.
Davis. Major J. M. Pace presented
patriotic resolutions eulogistie of the
dead Chieftian, and moved their adop¬
tion in eloquent language. The. mo
tion to adopt was seconded by quite a
number present and appropriate ad¬
dresses delivered by Messrs. Capers
Dickson, Jno. B. Davis, W. H. La
Prade, T. J. Swanson, T. H Grier,
Jno. V. Woodson, B. F. Camp and
Emmett Womack.
A committee was appointed to so¬
licit and receive contributions to the
widow and orphan and monument
funds, and quite a sum was raised.—
That Newton county will discharge
her full duty in this matter is sure
and certain--and that she will do so
without any unnecessary display is
also true.
COMMISSIONER HENDERSON.
We had a pleasant call from Com¬
missioner of Agriculture Henderson
Saturday. He was looking well and
appeared to be in the best of health.
His friends all over the state will see
that he is enthusiastically supported
for his present position at the election
rnxt year, He has made a faithful
officer aud deserves to be elected with¬
out opposion.
In speaking of our friend the Au¬
gusta Chronicle says : < i Col. Hen
derson has been in office ten years
Heretofore his appointment has been
coufered by the governor, Now that
the office held by him has been made
elective, it is natural that he should
go before the people for an endorse
ment.
Hot. Henderson has administered
hus office for the benefit of the farm
era. It has been cleanly conducted,
and has been productive of great good
; to the agricultural iutereat; Goloaei
.Henderson has been an intelligent,
hon est and faithful official, and we
sincerely trust and believe that the
farmers by their ballots will elect him
. »o the office which he has so long and
i“ h ®“«»bly filled by appointment »t
. the hands of the governor,
town and county.
