Several posse’s of men for tlie lost

attempts fur tlie arrest of Jos. W.

As to their guilt or innocence
we express no opinion; hut we sav
this: should they he innocent, ’tis
their duty to themselves, families and
country to appear before our tribu

Up to within a few days ago
our farmers were with reason unusu

What I Don’t Like.
Below we submit some remarks
banded us from “Old Man,” which
contain some points that would be
11 to lie remembered. It shews us
bow circumspect we should be in ev
ery action, and while there may be
“nothing wrong,” yet the deference
that is always due public opinion de
mands that we “avoid even the ap
pearance of evil”. Young man, guard
your character with the excess of vig
ilance for Shakespeare spoke truly
when lie said, “lie that filches from
me my good name, makes me poor
indeed.”
1st. I don’t like to see a young
man dress like a millionaire when he
receives a small salary as a dry goods
clerk.
2nd. I don’t like to see the same
clerk smoking fifty cents worth of
ciga**8 per day. I always hud an idea
that there was something not exact
ly right behind the scenes, especially
if his employer keeps cigars for sale.
Beware, one temptation leuds to an
other.
3d. I don’t like to see the same
gentleman inviting friends into a
backroom after business hours and
politely treat to oysters & c. for the
benefit of the firm. Little leaks often
sink a ship.
4th. I don’t like to see the same
fellow speculating on clothes which
ho purchased at cost. Recollect your
mployer buys these goods and pays
you to make a profit for him, not for
yourself.
5th. I don’t like to sec this same
specimen of humanity with hair par
ted in the wrong place, walk in
church on the ladies side, and keep
up a continual, whispering during
about the weather to which all farm
era are more or less subject. The ex
cessive amount of falling weather du
ring the past few days is now likely
to put most of them behind, and
probably injure some oats and
wheat. However the * damage is
slight.

distressed and unfortunate had in
Wily a sympathetic bearer, and a
tender-hearted h.*iic-factor. IIis house
was an asylum for the poorer class
es of society and a faVorite rend zvous
for the distressed.
Ho was one of the most obliging
and accommodating men I
knew. The writer line known him
many times to uisoommode himself,
in order to oblige or accommodate a
friend, and so gracefully would lie
deny himselftlunthe friend in whose
favor the sncrilico was made, would
he emancipated from any of those
embarrassments which usually pre
sent themselves under such ciiv.unv
stances, and feel pei lVctly free to ac
cept. the favor.
As a citizen Wily whs highly es
teemed and respected. Public spir
ited and enterprising, tho growth of
his town and tho,development of his
section of country, were ends to
which he continually worked.
Being modest and retiring, Wily
never was ambitious for political
preferment, nor did he ever enter the
political ur nu SiVi as a private, in
which capacity, however, lie did val
iant- and effective service in the ranks
of the democracy for the weal of his
country. Ho was once or twio
elected to aldermanic honors in his
town, and wo believe, was wearing
those honors when he died.
In the last cold and bloody war,
when thousands upon thousands had
gathered from southern homes ill de
fence of their" wrongs,
Wiley enlisted at the early age of
seventeen. lie begun his career
there as a drummer, but after a short
time was engaged in actual service.
From tho account given of him by
those.who stood by him, shoulder to
shoulder, he faced and heard the
volleying roar and the loud long
booming of each peal n peal with
us little trepidation as the bravest.
To his companions iu arms, as at
home, he was ever affable and sym
pathizing. ilia duty, however ardu
ous, ho performed cheerfully and
with dispatch.
As a husband and father, Wlley
was devoted, loving kind and tender,
and his death has created a vacum in
the hearts of his wife and children
which the “world can never fill.”
To them we tender purest sympathy,
and may “lie who tempereth the
wind to the shorti lamb” suit tender
blessings to tlie bereaved wife and
fatherless little ones.
As a son and brother, he was obe
dient, respectful and loving. Ho
leaves and aged and widowed mother,
and affectionate brother and doting
sisters behind to mourn his loss. We
again tender sympathy, indulging
the hope that their “loss is his eter
nal gain.”
Wiley was a member of the Mis
sionary Baptist Church at Cedartown,
having moved his membership from
Lime Branch Church on Sunday be
fore he was taken sick Wednesday.
He had been sidle about three weeks
with measles, and the disease settling
upon his bowels, culminated in his
death at 1 o’clock last Sunday morn
ing. He was 32 years of age. Thus
it will be seen that in the prime of
life and bloom of manhood, he was
cut down. We trust ho was prepar
ed for the transition, and to-day he
forms one of the innumerable throng
who bask iu the sun-lit splendor of
the Great Eternal.
