i HE ELLIJAY COURIER. W. F. COMBS. - - ~ Editor. ELLUAY, OA., JULY *B, IWI. The President’s Condition. THK VERY LATEST. (Special to the Constitution.) We failed to get our Atlanta mail yesterday, consequently our advices in regard to the Presi dent’s condition date as far back as Sunday. At that time his con dition was not as favorable as it had been. Some obstruction in the way of a free discharge of pus from the wound occurred on Saturday which caused the Presi dent to be seized with aehtll and that was followed bv a burning fever that caused the pulse to run tip to 130. The Atlanta Constitu tion of Sunday says editorially- “The current of good news that has come from Washington through three full weeks was in terrupled yesterday by reports of discouraging symptoms iu the case of the distinguished invalid. He had a chill, and then his pulse and temperature became very high. The state of the wound itself seems to be uncertain, and yet the surgeons bid us hope— that the condition of the Presi dent is still favorable to conva lescence. Let us hope that the four doctors know what they are diking about. It should not be forgotten, however, that they have never declared their patient out of danger. And he has not been for a single hour since he was slot, down by the cowardly wretched egotist. Wedding of Eon. Emory Speer. L (Washington Post.) I A brilliant assemblage of Buests attended at No 905 E St., llAt evening, (14th) to witness the Bptmis of lion. Emory Speer ■ Miss Eleanor D. Morgan. K groom is tho young and pop * ’Mr member of Congress from A Ninth District of Georgia. He bride is a daughter of that Hpus Washington physician, Hjames- E. Morgan, and sister V>r. Carroll Morgan, of rapidly Hg fame fhe parlors of Dr. HMgan’s handsome residence beautifully decorated with Horticultural and other aids to overyi day elegance of the robot's. TWv. Father o*ll, of St Dfiminio’s church, was selected t® per’. :i tho ceremony. At half pan seven o’clock precisely the l.iph contracting parties, sur rounded by their immediate rela tives and close friend's, stood bo fore the improvised altar, made beautiful by various intricate floral devices. There the solemn and impressive ceremony of the Caiholio church was performed, and united, ’till death them shall part,' as handsome and akogeth er promising a couple as ever lost their separate individuality in martial unity iu this District. The congratulations were hearty and as numerous as sincere. — Guiteau’s Confession. • 1 The facts from Washington about Guiteau’s preparations for l.is crime are remarkitble. lie aid not act on a sudden impulse, or without being fully ready for tbe deed. As far back as the 18th of May, or six weeks before he fired the shots of the 2d of July, he came to hrs murderous determination; and before tbe close of tlie month of May he was searching through Washington for the kind of pistol he desired. The pistol he pro cured eu the Bth of Jane, and at once began to practice with it. Four days afterward, on the 12th ef June (Sunday), he equipped himself with his pistol and lol lowed the President to church, but finding the circumstances un- favorable, he did not nse it. Dur ing that week he visited the church, examined it with refer ence to the President’s seat, and was satisfied he could accom plish hit purpose, which he deter mined to carry oat there the next Sunday; but learning the Presi dsat would leave the city on Sat urday, he made preparation to shoot him at the depot, practicing once more with his pistol in the \grly hoars of that morning. He !?**pt from his purpose at that A, according to his own story, by —Mrs. Garfield in frail that he had not , - r ’\ shoot her husband in mr p. seiV®. Four days after varl, wheh the President was ”t ridingjtiuiteau again armed nimßelf With the pistol, and watched for an opportunity, which, however, he did not find. Again, on the let of July, when watching for the President, who came out of the White House alone, he followed him as far as the residence of Mr. lllaine, and when the President with Mr Blaine returned to the White House he again followed them ; but on nei'her of these occasions did he find his opportunity. It was the next day that he perpe trated the crime, having previ ously examined the pistol and tried the trigger. The Legislature- The legisfafure has done but little else at its present sitting than introduce local bills. There are now more than eight hun dred bills on the calendar of the House, about five hundred yet remaining in the hands of com mittees. There is a long session ahead. Ou the 19th Mr. Withrow in troduced a bill to abolish the of fice of County School Commis sioner in Fannin. Gilmer and Pickens counties. On the 20th Mr. Winn, of Cobb, asked for a committee to inquire into the condition of the Mariet* ta and North Georgia Railroad. Three appraisers have been agreed upon by the Senate and House to fix the sum Atlanta is to pay for the new capitol on a valuation of the old capitol build ing. On the 21st the following bills were put on a third reading : Providing compensation for Clerks, Sheriffs and Ordinaries, whenever no compensation is provided. Passed. Changing county elections to the first Wednesday in October, 1882, and biennially thereafter. Passed—yeas 112 nays 41. Pickens County Department. John W. Henley, • - Editor. Jasper, July 25th, 1881. LEGISLATIVE VISITORS. A committee of four from the General Assembly visited Jasper last Saturday. The gentlemen met with the heady welcome of our citizens, and wo hope our grand mountain scenery will make them true lovers of North Georgia. Their stay with us was lioiK but our citizens did wliat they could to make the gent 12- men pleasant while with us. A | dinner was set at tiie Court house by the ladies of (he community and alter listening to an address of welcome from C®l. W. 11. Sun mons, and speeches from Gen. William Phillips, Judge James Brown, Col. Clark and Dr. Bond, all gathered around the table and ate until they were filled and still the table supplies were not ex liausted. We regret that our business was so arranged that we could not attend the meeting. But that is always our lusk; if anything good comes about we are out ol place and .miss the fun. VISIT TO SLI.IJAV. Our visit to Ellijay last. Friday was indeed a pleasant one, not withstanding the iiot sun and rough road. After enjoying the kind hospitalities ol Mr. and Mrs. Hipo on Saturday night last we were delighted for a slioiT while witli the musical performance of Mr. Meats and Prof. Bates When Mr. Mears gets hold of the bow and draw-s it across his vio lin, and Prof. Bates touches his fingers to the ivory keys of the organ, music must come, and if any one doesn’t believe it just let him call at the Central Hotel at Ellijay and send for Prof. Bates and then he will see that our words are true this time and he will feel good in his musical soul for days to come. We left Ellijay Sunday morn ing and five miles South we found a large audience assembled at Ml. Vernon church, for worship, and from all appearances we ven ture the assertion there are some some noble citizens about that plsce. All seemed to be in high spirits and to love their neigh bors as becometli Christians. We were favorably struck with our hearty welcome at that place. From thence we moved on to ward Jasper and after proceeding a few miles lo ! and behold ! what met our eager gaze I Horses hitched and the people seemed to be in a considerable stir about the residence of Mr. McArthur. We determined to know the ob ject of the meeting, dismounted, tied our lusie mule to a limb and joined in with the crowd that was entering the dwelling. In a few moments we discovered the fun, for ltev. James West said, well Mr. McArthur, whenever the par ties are ready tiring them forlh, and sure enough they came and WAR MARRIED, on the 2411i inst., at the residence of the groom’s lather, Mr Thom as McArthur to Miss Susan Steel. We wish them a happy and long life. Mav their paths be paths ol peace, strewn Willi flowers and garlands of bliss. DANGSROL’SLT SICK. Intelligence has been received that Mr. James Wlielchel, who went from this county to Arkan sas a lew weeks ago is lying now at the point of death. A letter received this afternoon stales that he is better, but no hopes o( bis recovery. Mr. Welcliel was not well when he left here and has been getting worse ever since with spinal affection. nsarer Tutor. Mr. Ed. Lenningsucceeded this morning in moving bis engine and saw mill a few miles neirer town and now look out for the engine when yon hear the whis tle blow. Mr. Lenning is a man of considerable energy and means and is of great worth to our country. If the widow wants bread Ed. Lenning is the first man to give assistance; if there be a young man struggling to ed ucate himself to make his mark in society, Ed. Lenning opens his heart and purse to him ; if a neighbor gets sick and can not work his crop, Ed. Lenning gears his mules and works it for him. This is the work of a good man— of a patriot. 001. E. C. TATE is building his new house, and certainly is putting it on a firm foundation, for he lias been haul ing some of the largest rocks ever I saw put under the corner of any bouse. Anticipates a large family, I suppose. teacher's meeting. Thor teachers will please re member our next regular meet ing, first Saturday in August. We want to get our Teacher’s Association thoroughly organ ized in this county and meet our fellow teachers at some point and have a jubilee about the last of September or the first of Octo her. We must wake up and show ‘the world tin* we are yet alive if we propose to accomplish any good in the world. If we would have others help us, we must help ourselves and not be ashamed of our profession. If we would have the people lake an interest in education we must raise the standard in out common schools We are too careless and so are the people in general. DOTS. Union meeting at Salem church, of this county, will embrace the first. Sunday and Friday and Sat urday before. A thousand souls made happy in one night. It rained on the night of the 24th. Corn is again out of the kinks. Col. Simmons will leave for Atlanta to morrow. GEORGIA—GILMER COUNTY. Emily J.
