Through the courtesy of the same legal friend who gave the readers of the News the benefit of his labors last week, we are ena bled to lay before them, in this issue, an ** attract” of the amendments to the original law establishing County Courts. We are vain enough to believe our little sheet has thus done the people of the county some s<‘r vice in furnishing the “ gist*’ of a matter in which all are interested—to a greater or less extent. ABSTRACT ok the amendments to the act OF TUK ll) Til OK LISHING COUNTY COURTS. By Act approved. Aug. 24th. 1872, it is provided, that when an indictment for a mis demeanor is found by a Grand Jury and the* Judge Of the Superior Court shall direct it to be returned to the county Court, together with the papers pertaining to such ease, to be dis posed of by said county Court, it shall be the du ty of the said county Court, when the party accused shall be adjudged liable to pay a fine or costs, or both, to collect the same as costs and fines arc collected by the Superior Courts ; and that before paying the same over to the County Treasurer to deduct tliero from the costs due the Clerk of the Superior Court and the Solicitor General, which sum sr> deducted, the county Judge shall hold subject to the order of such officers. % said act it is further provided, that should the Grand Jury, at the Spring term, fail to provide a salary for the county Judge for his services, then the Grand Jury, at the Fall term, may fix his salary, which shall be paid over to him by the County Treasurer of the county without other or further order. By act approved Feb’y loth. 1873. it is pro vi(fed that when no salary is provided by’ the G-rnnfF Jury, then the county Judge shall re tain the costs prescribed by act of 1872, as his compensation ; and in eases not provided for by the Act of 1872, as to costs, then the eosts allowed’by act of 1865-66. The same act also provides, that the Sheriffs of the counties of this State, where county Cosn r ts hare been established, their deputies, or the bailiffs ol’ snidCbiivf s; may serve and execute all processes issued by the county Courts of their reaftectlve counties. Section 2d, of tlie act of Feb’y 15th, 1873, provides tlmt in all civil and criminal cases w 1 wye the amount involved is over one hun dred <kdlars, said officers shall be entitled to such fees as are paid or allowed for similar services in the Superior Courts. When less than, huudred dollars, one-half of such fees. .Court c<*sts in cases over oue hundred dollaps, exclusive of sheriffs or bailiffs fees, shall be four dollars, and when the amount is less than one hundred dollars, two dollars. % third section *of the act of 1873, it is enacted that the jurisdiction of the county Court is extended to two hundred dollars, principal; provided the county Judge shall previously fix, by public notice, of at least one month, at the Court-house dobr of his county, wnen and wher& lie will hold the tcrmV'dif his Court to hear such claims, which terms of Court must he three months apart, and judgments shall only be rendered at the second term after the service. Summons must be issued at least twenty days bofore the term to which tsbe case is made returna ble County Judges may grant new trials in cases tried before them ; which order or judg ment may be carried for review to the Supe rior Court by appeal or certiorari as in other casea, to wit: Where amount is under fifty dollars, by certiorari; where over fifty dol lars, by appeal. Cpunty Judges, where county Courts are established, have concurrent jurisdiction with Courts of Ordinary in issuing, hearing and determining writs of Habeas Corpus. The Intelligent Compositor Talks Back. An exasperated and sarcastic “ blacksmith” who sets type in Cairo writes: “Who ever heard of an editor making an error during his whole editorial career ? No one. The mer chant swears at the printer ; so does the occa sional correspondent humbug, who writes about the ‘people,’ ‘sovereignty,’ ‘common wealths,’ ‘burden of taxes,’ ‘tyranny,’ etc.; so does that cheerful hieroglvphieal prodigj*, the associated press agent; and those intoler able frauds, the poetess and poet of the city ; the man whose friends desire that he should be Mayor; the individual who received a ben efit and a stuffed watch for his brilliant talents, and in his card of thanks used the glittering commonplace, the antiquated and excessively vain pronoun ‘l,’ thus “I,” in fact, the printer gets bounced on all sides. lie wlk> rummages after unintelligible pieces of metal, who corrects, on an everage, about fifteen villainous errors an hour in common words, such as traveler, jailor, hypocrisy, ful fill, holiday, gauge, separate, alleged, fetid, judgment, skillful, counselor, impanel, and many other simple ones, and makes probably one blunder in five thousand words, is fre quently asked to step down and out. No wonder he feels savage, and drinks whisky and beer, and talks about the ignorance of the aristocrats, the middle classes, and all other classes.” “IN THE FALLI” In a conversation with a gentleman a few days ago, it was remarked—“ One of the first and greatest causes for the present hard times, is a want of confidence between man and man.” If this be true —and there is no doubt, at all, of the fact—how scrupulously should every one be in regard to the obliga tions which necessity has forced upon him or her during the pressure of the Summer just passed! Should it not be the great “chief end” of every one to restore himself to the confidence and in the confidence of his neigh bors and friends—the merchant, the physician, or any one with whom he has made a con tract or entered into an obligation where his honor as a man is at stake ? The writer is led to these remarks in reflecting on the thou sand and one promises made during the past months of the present year, as to what would be done “in the Fall.’’ Let mo have some i corn, says one, my family is almost on suffer i ance—and “ I’ll pay you in the Fall.” I’m obliged to have some sugar and coffee and j calico, says another to tiie merchant, and ‘ “ I’ll pay you in the Fall.” Please do not harrass me about that old debt, says a third, 1 “ I’ll pay a portion, or all, in the Fall.”— I And thus we might add line upon line in enumerating the obligations entered into on ! the assurance that they were to be cancelled “in the Fall.” Friends, the Fall is here! Now let us “quit” ourselves like men. Do 3*oll owe a man ten dollars—twenty dollars—five dollars —or even one dollar ? See that this debt is liquidated ere you begin to think of purchas ing this new thing and that new thing.— There is no telling how much indebtedness one five dollar bill will pay if put in “work ing order”—if put in circulation. Some who read this may recollect a story’ of a “ Bank Bill.” published last Spring in some of the papers that have a good circulation in this county. The substance of the story was about this : At the supper table a gentle man, for some reason, handed his wife a five dollar bill. She, turning to a lady relative, remarked that she owed her five dollars, and handed her the bill; this lady recollected that there was someone else present to whom she was indebted, and in this maimer the five dollar bill took the circle of the table several times, until this single note had paid a hun dred or more dollars indebtedness, and the beauty of the matter was it was still in cir culation. We have mentioned this circum stance—imperfectly we admit—to show what can be done when the “ ball is put in motion.” Again we repeat, remember what you have obligated yourselves to do “ in the Fall,” and these obligations cancelled, your conscience will lie easy, and hundreds perhaps of }'our fellow-mortals will be made happy by your deeds and y r our example. And should you be spared to see and behold the light of a “ New Year,” you will begin it with the “ confidence” and esteem of all 3 our fellow citizens. The Code Among Newspaper Wien. Apropos of newspaper quarrels resulting in duels and street-brawls, (says the Nash ville Weekly American,) may not the point of order be raised, while discussing the aesthe tics of modern journalism, as to the exact propriety of using language in the columns of newspapers that render such results imi nent or necessary. Usually the language employed—notable instances in point furnish ed from St. Louis and Cincinnati—is not the kind of language that gentlemen indulge in file presence of ladies and children, and by no means admissablc in the presence of well bred people, regardless of sex or age. As the boasted conservator of public words and manners, may not the fourth-estate set the age' a‘ ’better example ? In justice to journals which have a higher appreciation of the dig nity of their mission, and whose claims to social recognition and the entree to respecta ble family circles nVe indirectly prejudiced by the professional association, those of the lewd and baser sort might be subjected to that provision of the statutes, which comes under the head of obscene literature, without impairing the independence or usefulness of the press. Northeastern Railroad. The Athens Georgian has this to say in re gard to this enterprise : “ The present length of the line from Athens to Lula, in all, thirty nine miles, has been graded and is now ready for the road proper. So far, only nine miles of the iron have been laid, but the cross-ties have been provided for the whole distance. Two hundred and forty thousand dollars in all, has been expended, and it is estimated that about two hundred thousand dollars would equip and furnish the road. The Com pany is now out of debt, and the first mort gage bonds have been limited to nine thou sand dollars of graded road per mile, a first class security. Arrangements, we arc in formed, will soon be made for borrowing the necessary means to complete the road, as the Directors, very justly, are unwilling to sacri fice their stock atj>resent. Mr. Johnson, the Secretary and Treasurer, thinks, that from the present outlook, the road will be complet ed this winter. So mote it be.” A Curious Creature. —Yesterday, Mr. Wm. Ira Smith brought into our sanctum an amphibious terrapin, caught at Smyrna, 15 miles out from Atlanta, upon the State road. This old hardshell had a legend inscribed upon his back, which read as follows : “D. Kirk, 78th Ind. Vols U. S„ July 4th, 1864.” There were some other letters, but their meaning could not be made out. There was a battle fought near Smyrna about the date written upon the terrapin’s shell. How much older the creature is than the eleven 3 r ears made certain by the inscription, we cannot say. He is now on exhibition at the Young Men’s Library.— At. Constitution. McDermed sells the cheapest Oil and Lamps, at Kilgore's stand, Athens. For the Forest News. The Sarepta Association. Mr. Editor : — This body convened on Tues day, Sept. 21st, with the church at Cloud’s Creek, in Oglethorpe county. The Rev. Benjamin Thornton, who was Moderator last 3 r ear, not being present, the duty of presiding during the organization de volved upon W. C. Howard, former Clerk. Most of the churches belonging to the As sociation (forty-two) were represented. Rev. A. J. Kelly 7 was chosen Moderator and W. C. Howard Clerk. Rev. W. F. Stark preached the Introductory Sermon to a large and ap preciative audience. The attendance during the session was fine, and the session was a most pleasant and profitable one—a cordial and exceedingly harmonious christiau spirit seeming to pervade the entire body. There was in attendance a number of prominent Baptists as visitors, amongst whom were Revs. P. H. Metl, C. M. Irwin, B. M. Cala way, G. A. Nunnally, J. R. Young, T. C. Boykin and W. N. Chaudoin; J. H. James, Esq., was also present from Atlanta. J. R. Young and B. M. Calaway’ preached at the stand to attentive congregations ; T. E. Skin ner, D. D., preached in the house a most effective Missionary discourse, at the close of which a collection was taken, amounting to over one hundred and thirty dollars; P. H. Mell, D. D., LL. D., also preached in the house a powerful and effective sermon, such as characterizes this eminent divine. A difficulty pending between the Millstone and Elberton churches was happily and ami cably adjusted by the delegates representing these churches. The usual reports were made and elicited appropriate remarks from brethren present. The condition of affairs within the associational bounds appeared to be healthful; the subject of Missions, Sun day Schools, Temperance, State of Religion and Religious literature received prominent attention. Pledges of money’ were made to help pay* for a home for the famil3 f of Rev. H. J. Goss, deceased, and also to aid in erect ing a monument to the memory 7 of Rev. Asa Chandler, deceased ; there was also some funds raised to aid in paying for the new church at Handlers creek. The next ses sion of the Association will be held with the church at Handler’s creek, in Jackson coun ty, two miles from Maysvillc, on the North eastern Railroad,. commencing on Tuesday after the fourth Monday in September, 1876. The session was closed amid the expres sion of brotherly* love, by appropriate re marks from the Moderator, the singing of a hymn, extending the parting hand followed by prayer led by that good man of God, Rev. W. N. Chaudoin. It was a meeting that will long be remembered by magly present, and it is believed that much gpbil has and wiil re sult from this of the Baptist de nomination in this part of the State. Anew church established at Harmony’ Grove, was received into the Association, represented by’ Rev. W. B. J. Hardeman and R. S. Cheney. The hospitality of the community was un bounded and dispensed with great liberality. Visitor. 'Kerosene Oil, 25 cents per gallon, at Kilgore’s stand, Athens. 1 1 mm The Storm in Texas. Another great calamity has been added to the terrible catalogue of disasters of this year—disasters caused by extraordinary natural phenomena. The fearful storm of week before last, in Texas, was even more destructive of human life than the Gerogia cyclones of the spring, and. like the memory of our hurricanes, the dread of a repetition will long distress those who witnessed but escaped it. The high water and destruction to life and propearty on the Texan coast were not caused by rains or by high tides produced by common agencies, but by strong winds sweeping the waves upon the shore, where they accumulated and were piled up higher b} f each successive swell until they reached the habitations of men artd in some instances swept them off. It is impossible to estimate the amount of loss, but the destruction of life is truly appalling. Dead bodies are found strewn along the coast for a distance of twenty miles, and among the ruins and debris of fallen houses the unfor tunate victims are picked up, mutilated and mangled. The privation among the survi vors is truly appalling, and piteous appeals for help are sent out. The towns Indianola and Matagorda are wrecks. The people have lost their all— their property and their friends to a terrible extent—and the horror of these calamities is heightened by general privation and desti tution. A Kentucky Rat Story.— Wilst Mr. Joseph Terrell was sitting in his back porch, about dusk the other evening, he saw two rats coming from under some wood close b}\ Noticing something peculiar about them, he paid close attention, and discovered that they had a straw in their mouths, one rat at eacli end. The rats went down to a little pond in the yard laid the straw down, took a drink of water, picked up the straw and marched back in the same way they went down. Just before reaching the wood Mr. Terrell killed them both, and upon examina tion found the largest and oldest rat to have been totally blind. Mr. Terreil sa}'s the old rat was very fat, and is satisfied that the other rats have been feeding him on young chickens and turkeys, as well as watering him. —Ballard \Ky.) News. Meridian Homestead Report of tiie CLiNton (Miss.) Riot.— One thing [ must not fail to mention. The fracas occurred before dinner. The meat was on the spits, the bread was on the tables. But as the darkies ran, with a shower of leaden hail all about them, and death staring them in the back, they gathered the meat and bread, and when the black wave had passed on, nothing was left but horses and mules, carts, buggies and wagons, hats, caps and rags, and a few lifeless bodies. The ruling instinct was strong in the face of death. If you know of anything in the annals of war fare that will beat that, the world ought to have it. STATE NEWS ITEMS’.

Its color was not differ ent from that of the ordinary species, except that its breast was dappled with beautiful little spots, and its wings were partly red. In general appearance it was a perfect dove, though on the lilliputian order. best Wagon Yard in Athens, at Kilgore’s stand. Mr. M. O, McMullen, an ingenious mechanic, who has had considerable expe rience in the construction of machinery for water mills, is now building a mill for Mr. T. Jeff. Jordan, of this (Wilkinson) county, on a principle never before employed in the propulsion of water wheels. The stream upon which the mill is being constructed is a spring branch, and the wheel is an over shot. twenty-five feet in diameter. Attached to the machinery of the mill is a powerful pump, capable of lifting and conducting to the pond the greater quantity of the water used in propelling the wheel. Mr. McMul len is so well satisfied from tests that it will prove a success, that he has agreed to forfeit all demands upon Mr. Jordan for the con struction of the mill if it should not work successfully. And if it does work success fully it will revolutionze the mill system of the country. Every mountain spring will be employed in turning a mill, and as it works the same water over and over again, some speculative spirit will no doubt try to employ the principle in running a mill, depending upon carrying his water to a tank by‘hand. We shall watch the construction of this mill with considerable interest, and report results to our readers. It is'of more practical impor tance than Keely’s motor. Money and Life Saved by its Use.

Bradfield to penetrate the mystic depths of science, and drag therefrom the wonder of our century. The victory has been won, and woman is free. The sale of Dr. J. Bradfield’s Female Regulator is unprecedented in the history of popular remedies, and thousands of certifi cates are coming in from grateful women, throughout the Union, attesting its powers and applauding its untold benefits to their sex. A Beautiful Woman. In a neighboring village there lives a young lady who, two years ago, was an object of pity to all who knew her. From a little imprudence at an improper time, she became irregular, and was the victim of sup pression in all its horrors. Such were the ravages of the disease, she was miserable and unfit for social After trying many remedies, and paying much money to physicians, a friend sent her a couple of bot tles of Regulator. She improved after taking the first, and before taking the second she became sound and well. Now, two years after taking the first bottles, she is fully restored to her former health, and is a most beautiful woman. Proper respect for the family, prevents our giving the name.
