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 nals at once and prove it. An oppo site course wears the garb of a guil ty conscience. Since tho above was put in type Nunn has been arrested und is nowin jail, lie was arrested at his fathers, about til roe miles from town, by u lio8Se of six men.

Wheeler, jnne 30, 3t Tax Receiver. A party, so raadama rumor says, is being formed to visit tho mountains, striking, by way, the beautiful waters of Tocoa and Tal lulah. We heartily wish them joy and mourn because wa cannot go. A fashion journal says: “No thing will be worn this summer by the fair sex, except longtitudinal striped hose.” Good-bye! We are off to the Feejea Islands where the wo men, in addition to a red string around the left ankle, wear bracelets of sharks, teeth around the wristand a fish bone in the nose. On Wednesday morning a young lady sent ns a notice of a lost earring, and we ecaree had got the advertisement in type, wben up steps a party to say an ear-ring was found. The mere fact of the adver tisement being in the printing office brought forth the finder, hence lost ito publication, and then, some people will sit carelessly down and jay It does no good to adrertise. Churns and churn talk cease to annoy the passers by, as was tho case a short time ago. Telegraph to Prof. Salvo and find out the cause. As Dr. J. C.

Peek, together with three other men, curried the priso ners, Horatio and Claude Chisolm from the jail in this place to Atlanta, there to await tlie trial at Haralson Superior court September nxt. We have on our table a cotton bloom sent us by Mr. Neal Monroe, of Haralson county, which was plucked on the 11th inst. This is the earliest bloom we have seen, und proves conclusively that our sis ter county, Haralson, in point of en ergy and enterprise, is au honor to Cherokee Georgia. Died At her residence in this place, oil Tuesday, the 18th inst., Mrs. 11. G, Herbert, after an illness protracted for several weeks. She wits well aware of her approaching fate, and in Iter own language, "was ready to give up this world.” Site was well known through our whole commu nity, and her memory is enshrined in the hearts of many through her kindness and generosity. Wc, to getlier with many others, tender to iter husband our heartfelt sympathy. Up to within a few days ago our farmers were with reason unusu ally hopeful about their crops, for there was never hotter prospects in any country or time than was over all our county. The rains had been sufficient for every purpose and not so plentiful ns to retard laboring. Everything in the farming line was in good condition and nowhere could The “Dime Parties” at the residence of Oapt. J. A.

Miss Bartlytt most especially deserves honorable mention for the enjoyment site produced iu every lis tener by the very happy rendition of a piece entitled “Nothing to Wear.” There is nothing iu wliiolt we tuk more delight than seeing young peo ple enjoy themselves; and wc con gratulate ourselves that wo do not belong to that class of croakers who require tho youth of twenty to ho forty in actions.

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. All kinds of Fancy letter papei for sale at Burbank & Jones. 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.
