- Sudden Death.
Mr. Wih.S. Grimes of Paoli, Madi
son county, Ga., was, one day week
before last, assisting in rolling logs on
his place, when after a heavy lift he
was discovered to have sit down near
by, and upon being approached by
some of the assistants, complained of
a peculiar feeling in his head. He
was at once taken to his house near
by and a physician sent for, but be
fore anything could be done he was
dead, having lived only about twenty
or thirty minutes from the time he
wsb first attacked. Before arriving
at his house, ke lost the use of his
lower extremities and though con
scious up to the last moment, yet life
seemed gradually to become extinct,
it being beyond the power of any
human aid brought to bear, to stay
this awful blow to his now greatly
bereaved family. It is thought by
his friends, that from over straining
ke brought on an appoplectic con
dition which was the cause of his
sudden death. Mr. Grimes, aged
about thirty-five years, was a worthy
and consistent member of the Baptist
Church and will be greatly missed in
the religious circles which he so
ado* ned. He leaves a bereaved wife
and two children, who together with
other mourning and afflicted, friends
and relatives, have the deep felt
sympathies of the entire community
in which his u efullnt-ss was so fully
recognized and in which his loss is
now so greatly felt. May that over
ruling Providence “ which tempera
the winds to the Bhorn lamb’’ soften
this blow to the afflicted and mourn
ing friends and relatives.

From Banks.
Editor Georgian—Court has been
in session during the week, andxfrom
conversation with our citizens I learn
that the people are thoroughly-
aroused to the importance of holding
a Constitutional Convention, and are
in favor of party unity Banks is
entitled to one delegate out of the
four from the Senatorial District, and
wants to know how that question is
to be decided. I suggest that the
chairman of the executive committee
of eacli county get together in the
absence ot the district chairman—
there being none in the 35th district,
and call a convention to meet at
Gillsvillo to settle the matter and pnt
in nomination the best man in the
county. Banks.
Constitutional Convention.
Editor of Georgian : Permit
me, through the columns of your pa
per, to snggest the name of Col. J.
H. Ilnggins, ns a most suitable gen
tleman to represent Clnrko county
in the Constitutional Convention.
Col Huggins is a sound, practical
and able gentleman, whose name is as
familiar as “household words” in
onr good old county. His known
firmness, and unflinching honesty,
would insure the protection' of the
interests of all classes in framing a
now Constituioo. Therefore let all
our pfeople, on the day of election
vote for the above well known fellow
citizen. Clarke
Storm Petrels. ,
There have been flocks of these
sea-birds passing over our town for
the prist few nigffts Which has created
somewhat* of an fexcit?ftn&it. Those
who are superetitiously disposed have
termed them the “Seven- Whistlers,”
from the fact that they do whistle and
are said to oome only every seven
years, Of course they are ill-omened
bird and are supposed to be the
prognosticators of some fearful calam
ity just ahead of us. A seveu years
famine probably, or per chance a cy
clone, or some other much-to-be-
dreaded visitation.
The Storm Petrel, or, as they are
sometimes called, Mothur Carey’s
Chickens, and which the bird in
question most resembles, possess
great power of wiug, and are among
the most striotly oceanic of birds.
They are qnite observable at sea
during storms, running along tho
surface of the waves, which they do
a remarkable manner and with
great rapidity. Tlmy aro seen de
scending iuto the very depths of tho
hollow between two waves, and then
touching their highest, foamy crests
and flitting about with perfect safety
and apparent delight, while they seek
the moluses and other animals form
ing their food, and which are now
brought in abundance to tha surface.
From this habit of these fowls
hence their name Petrel, diminutive
of Peter, from the apostle Peter’s
walking on. the water. From the
frequency with which flocks of these
birds are seen in stormy weather, or
as heralds of a storm, they are very
unfavorably regarded by sailors. If
thew presence iu our midst has any
significance whatever, perhaps they
might he taken as the forerunners of
the rainy and stormy weather which
s now upon us.
Company 13.
Why don’t the young men of
Athens get up Company B. of the
Athens Guards ? There are certainly
yonng men enough in our city to
make two military companies. The
organization of another company
eonld be easily effected if the proper
efforts were made. By the purchase
-of twenty stand of arms additional,
there' would be guns enough to arm
Company A. and B. These additional
muskets would cost not exceeding
one hundred and fifty or two hundred
dollars, which amount oould he easily
procured. Let the company be raised.
It wiil bring about a rivalry between
the companies which will not ouly
keep both fully alive, hut add a
pleasing and interesting feature to
our city. Conte, hoys, stir up, and
don’t let our sister towns and cities
exceed you in esprit dc corps.

Young Men’s Library.
What say the yonng men of our
city to establishing a “ Young Men’s
Library f” This is one of the most
plearing and entertaining features of
Atlanta, and we don’t see why Athens
riionld no't move on the same line.
Let the association be formed. It
will prove both useful and ornamental
to onr city, and will bring mnch of
interest to onr whole comrannity.

Tho Convention.
Dear Georgian—The recent act
of the Georgia Legislature calling a
Constitutional Convention provides
for ibnr delegates from this Senatorial
district. Is it not time the democ
racy of Jackson county was taking
some' steps in connection with the
party in the^ counties of Banks and
Hall to bring out good and true men?
Would it not bo well lor the chair
man if the executive committee in
this county to call a meeting for the
purpose of sending delegates to GUIs-
ville? ’’ Jackson.

Mr. Editor - In common with all
other • citizens of Georgia, I deem it
my dnty to think, feel and act as
best I may be able relativo to the
coming Constitutional Convention,
am for the Convention; and yet I
fear that should it be held, it will
overlook and fail to do much of what
the gt;eat mass of the people, white
and colored, need most. “ Retrench
ment*’ is a pretty word that we often
hear from those who are, or would be
State or county officers. The people
need more than this euphonious, tri
syllable enunciation. They need an
equalizing retrenchment founded
upon Constitutional law, to that a
very respectable class of citizens may
not continue, as they long have done,
and now do, hold the reins and drive
the car of legal oppression over the
heads of a mnch larger and equally
respectable class of citizens, and
thereby unequally, unjustly, ruinously
oppressing-them; and all this legal
legalized.
• In my next, I will state, and try to
maintain the proposition that, “ We
have too much law."
