Any information desired and copies of the programme may be obtained from Capt. Robt. E. Park or Prof. B. M. Zettler of Ma¬ con or the undersigned at Rome, Ga. S. C. Caldwell. Sec. G. T. A. Crawford Court. Crawford Court adjourned last Saturday, it being found impossible to get a jury in the criminal cases of Joe Hall and Green Thurman, whose cases have been transferred to our county for trial, week after next. This adjournment was unex¬ pected, but considerable civil busi ness was transacted. Tho Grand Jury, we learn from liorosay, looked into matters properly coming be¬ fore them, bnt the presentments ooald not be had to publish. Our friends in Crawford have a way pe¬ culiar to themselves in some things, but why they object to having the matters which properly belong to the public kept dark, without a suf¬ ficient reason, wo can’t understand. As wo have repeatedly offered to print these presentments, either for pay or gratuitously, and as with one excepiion, have failed to furnish us with necessary copy, it is presumable they do not want them published. We have a large list of readers in Crawford, some whom feel a deep interest in welfare and don’t go to court, we should like to give them all the legitimate information possible. For this reason we invariably ask the grand jury to order their pre¬ sentments published, either itously or for pay, as they see fit, and we can see no good reason why it should not be done. That readers may know that we do duty, we ■ bring the matter prominently before them. It may be an oversight on the part of ju¬ rors, but if so it is one that to be remedied. Their fellow citi¬ zens have a right to know of actions, and it is the universal tom to print grand jury present¬ ments. Wo hope they will overlook the matter next time. $500 REWARD For every grain of impurity or adulteration found in Dixie Bakjng Powder.

How Watches are Made. will Mfyfiil examine be apparent Solid Gold to any Watch, one, who a that aside from the necessary thickness for engraving and polishing, a largo propor¬ tion of the precious metal used, is need¬ ed only to stiffen and hold the engraved portions in place, and supply tile neces¬ sary plus solidity gold and strength. The sur¬ is actually needless, so far as utility and beauty are concerned. Iu .JAMES BOSS' PATENT GOLD WATCII CASES, this waste of precious metal is overcome, and the same .solidi¬ ty and strength produced at from one third to one half of the usual cost of soHd oases. This process is of the most simply nature, as follows: a pla'e of nickle composition metal, specially adapt¬ ed ,to the purpose, has two plates ot solid- gold soldered one on each side. The three are (lieu passed between polished steel rollers, and the result is a strip whicirlhe of heavy plated composition, from cases, back#, centres, bezels. &o., are cut, shaped by suitable die? and formers. The gold in there ease is suffi¬ ciently thick to admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and enamelling: the engraved eases have been carried until worn perfectly smooth by time and use without removing the gold. THIS IS THE ONLY CASE MADE WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD, AND WAltRANTED BY SPEC¬ IAL CEUTHTCATE. For sale by all Jewelers.
