L*t Wednesday, the first day of May, waa rather warm. Eilijay has two flourishing Sunday schools. Let the good work go on. Service on the new mull route from here to Spring Place commenced yesterday “Doc” Holt showed as a stalk of reid s aaae a few days ago that was headed ou t like oats. Won't some agricultural youth stphda to as why Ibis tbusness ? A motion for anew trial in the Kate Souther* murder case will be made at the Gihner Superior Court, and the case will no doubt go to the Supreme Court. The fanners of Pickens are in high life, and the crops are looking well. Every where indications of prosperity met us. Those people have our kindest regards. Read the law cards of Styles A Vincent, of Canton, Ga., and 8. A. Darnell, of At lanta. They are prompt aud reliable, and all liusiness entrusted to them will he care fully attended to.

Solicitor-General Greer has been “taking a real” this week so far as “may it please your Honor and gentlemen of the jury” is concerned, but be liob beep plowing in his garden. Tom is a bad-haiml cat. - A terrible cyclone passed through Mur ray county last week, doing a great deal of damage to property. The *iud was heavy in this county also. Aliout two miles North-west of town large trees were blown do on, but uo gr eat jjaiqage was done that we have head of. A Gihner copniy My being asked if she wwutd have it)lik in her tea, replied thus: “The superfluity of tlic heat, added to the flavnrosity of the milk, renders tlic con glomeration insupportable and obnoxious to ruy diabolical appetite. ” She wouldn’t take milk in hcr'n; she wouldu’t. Tin well! Co|. J. P. Gobh, of this place, lias just received a large stock of goods, consisting of dry goods, ready-made clothing, boots, shoes, bats, and everything that a person needs. It is probably the largest stock ever brought to Ellljy, and one of the best selected. His ready-made clothing is remarkably cheap, and, in fact, everything is. Give him a call. Hog- Gustavus J. Orr, State School Commissioner, will address the citizens of Gilmer county at the Court house on Wed nesday of Court week, the 15th of May. Every person is earnestly requested to be present, and bear the great educator dis cuss the question of public education and our camnion school system. We guaran tee a rich feast on that subject to all who attend. Come one, come all. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Marietta A North Ga., railroad will be held in Canton, Ga, on Wednesday, Mag Bth, for the purpose of electing a President and Directors, and for the pur pose of either transferring stock or agree ing to pro rata fragment with Maddox & Cos. Three-fourth* of the stock has al ready been transferred, and the ' prompt attendance of all stockholders, either in person or by proxy, will doubtless insure the early completion of the road to Mur -I*7.

In addition to the local bar at Pickens Court we bad the pleasure of meeting Cols. Paal Lester, C. D. Phillips, Moseley, I) " P. Lester, Newman, Darnell," Styles, Baker and Payne. The bar was sufficiently heavy and the business exceedingly light— rather hard oh the profession.

THE TRIAL AND CONVICTION OF KATE SOUTHERN FOR THE MURDER OF MARCISSA COWART. Our readers will remember the terrible tragedy that occurred at tlic house of John Hambrick, in Pickens county, Ga, on the aight of the 9th of February, 1878, win n Narcissa Cowart WAS STABBED AND KILLED by Kate Southern, formerly Kate Ham brick. The murderess fled from the coun try with her husband, Robert Southern. Her apprehension and arrest in Cherokee county, N. t\, and the conflicting state ments of parties at interest are fresh in the minds of our readers. On Tuesday, the 28d hist, ahe was tak en from the jail to the bar of the Court, and then commenced one of the MOST INTERESTING AND EXCITING TRIALS ever witnessed in this portion ot the coun try. Sympathy tor her sex, and the influ ence of some ofter friends, aid much to remove the heuious nature of her crime fiom the always-reaily public opiuion. Thirty-six citirens were summoned besides the regular panels before a jury was ob tained. The State was represented by Messrs. S A. Darnell, J. Or Alien and T. F. Greer, the Solicitor-General; the defense by Cols. D. P. Lester, W. T. Day. Garey W. Styles and W. H. Simmons. The taking of tes timony pro and con lasted one day and a half; the arguments and the charge of the Court the same length of time. Too much cannot be said for the vigor ous, earnest and effective prosecution, while the defense contested every incli of ground in a truly meritorious manner. The State realized that she had met focmen worthy of their sieeL Seven arguments were nuwie to the case besides the opening argument. We will not attempt to note tlie testimony or the arguments during this long, exhaustive trial. Suffice it to say that the jury who were composed of the very best material, gave close, scrutinising attention, seldom seen in our Courthouses, lor which they merit the confidence of all good men. TIIE CHARGE OF TOE COURT was full,fair and exhaustive upou the law, applicable, so much so, that neither side asked anything additional to be charged as law. The jury, after twenty-four hours’ un tiring labor, name to the following ver dict : “We the jury’, find the defendant, Catharine Southern, guilty, and recom mend her to the mercy of the Court, if possible.” Rut alas! for her, the recom mendation to mercy was fruitless, iu view of such cases. A SAD SILENCE • pervaded the Court room—the saddest wo have ever witnessed. A few minutes of profound silence, and the order pronounc ing the doom of the unfortunate woman was written and signed by His Honor, Judge Geo. N. Lester. He expressed his duty as THE SADDEST AND MOST AFFrOriSG of Its life. Tlic carnage of the battlefield, the loss of that good, right arm, the man gled. dead that had fallen around him, all had failed to unnerve and affect him like this scene. He announced to the prisoner her fate, and hade her go to the fountain of God’s love, assuriug her thnt He was willing and able to save. Here the prison er, for the first time, broke down and gave vent to her feelings in a flood of tears. While His Honor read THE SENTENCE OF DEATH, reciting the duties of the Sher ff and fixing Friday, the Ist day of June next for her execution, his manly frame shook with the solemnities of that black day, and be it said in honor to his name and to hiß Christian character that almost involunta rily burst from his lips the words: “May the Lord God of Israel have mercy on your soul.” The effect was like magic. The Court and jury, the counsel for the State and for the defense, the old, young aud middle-aged, composing a large au<lieuce, found relief by uttering in their hearts that prayer, and mingling together their tears. The prisoner has one child, and the de ceased left one. The crime was murder, and the stern law demands life for life. Let us temper as far as we cn justice with mercy, and rejoice not in the death of any. GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS OF PICKENS COUNTY, GA.—APRIL TERM, 1878. We, the Grand Jury, selected, chosen aud sworn for the county of Pickens, at the April term of the Superior Court of said county, beg leave to submit the fol lowing general presentments: We have carefully examined into the condition of the county offices, and find them neatly and correctly kept, aud take pleasure in cheerfully commending the of ficers to the public for having discharged their duties with fidelity to tne people. The public buildings seem to be in good repair, and properly and neatly kept, and the sanitary regulations at the jail meet our approval. We find the public roads of tlic county generally to be in good condition. Some are deficient as to mile pouts and finger boards, and we urge the road commission ers to give this matter their prompt atten tion. We recommend the Ordinary to have some rocks iu the public the residence of S. C. Tate blasted out aud re-, moved from the road; we recommend the Ordinary to lay a sufficient tax to defray the expenses of the county ana keep it nut of debt; we recomineDd that a public tund be raised and applied to the paupers here after named, and he placed in the hands of the parties hereafter named, to lie ap plied Lo said paup.-i tos a trust fund; To ! Lucinda Bochanon, $5 E. W. Allred, I trustee; Catherine Fortin, $5, Steplicn Griffith, trustee; Milly Pendiey, $5, E. j \V. Allred, trustee; Margaret Stamms and two sisters, sls, Jos. Eaton, trustee; Ella Thompson, $5; Alfred Moore, $lO, C. J. Cornelison, trustee; Madison Gaines, $5, John Darnell,trustee; Wm. Clark,ss, Johu Clark, trustee; Wiu. Fleming, $5, John Evans, trustee; John Junes, $5, J. L\ Haily, trustee; Bethany \Vigiutoo, $5, Holcombe Cox, trustee. We recommend that the Ordinary issue and order to J. F. Lindsey $4 82 for work on jail; we recommend that the juries at the present teira of the Court receive for their services one dollar per day; wo re commetid that His Honor appoint Josiah Re B Notary Public for the 10ft9th district O. M, to fill the vacanoy of T. C God frey, removed beyond the limits of said district. It is the voice of this body that the Ordinary favorably entertain a peti tion to make null and void a public road beginning at the Frohalk place on the Federal road, near the residence of S. C. Tate, thence by the residence of Cicero Taylor and Wm. Chambers, thence to Je rusalem court ground to its intersection with the Canton read; we recommend the Ordinary to take 6uch steps in relation to Benj. Heath, Jas. Dobson, Frankey Ev ans, Wm. Fleming, Martha J. Moss, Benj. Williams, John Jones aud a daughter of Laiah Woods—name not known—who ap pear to be idiots, lunatics, or otherwise insane persons as may seem best far the interest of the county. We believe the Ordinary should be satisfied that the)’ can and will be properly cared for by relatives or frieuds, and if lie is not so satisfied we think they should be sent to the lunatic asylum at the least possible expense to the county ; we recommend the Ordinary not to issue any license for the selling or re tailing of spirituous liquors in this county. At the conclusion of our labors we feel it to be a duty we owe to tlie people of Pickens county to extend our commenda tion to Ilis Honor, Judge Geo. N. Lester, aud to 001. Tlios. F. Gjreer, the Solicitor- General, fully believing that the people concur with us in the opinion that the in terest of society and good government are being fostered and protected by their la liors. To His Honor we return our thanks for the able, impartial and high-toned manner in which lie bus addressed himself to the juries, and for tlie earnest, fervent manner in which he lias urged reform among law-break< rs, and for his determics ed efforts to suppress crime and for his wholesome advice to tlie young men of our couLty. We are due to tlie Solicitor-Gen eral our highest regards for the vigorous maimer iu which he Ims prosecuted crime and the success attending bis labors, and tor his kind attention to this body during the present term, and to members of the bar and tlie county officers for their uni form kindness to us during this session. We congratulate the county that under tlie prescut administration of law in our midst the evidence of reform and obedi ence to the laws is manifestly apparent, and we believe that the present vigorous prosecution of the law, with its penalties enforced, will soon bring us to the enjoy ment of much greater security, both of pel-son and properly. With these remarks we kindly ask to bo discharged lor the term. Resolved that these presentments be published iu I he Ei.mjay Goumkk. Respectfully submitted, Jordon l'resley, Foreman. J as. F.
