1 :10 by the time at Rome. Mrs. Shorter
knew of her son's illness, but nevertheless,
it is very strange that the impression should
have been vivi 1 enough just at the moment of

Larceny from the Person—A Farmer Rob
bed in our City.
On Friday afternoon last several members
of our police force noticed a man named
Eberhart, who had come to the city and sold
some cotton, in company with a young man
named Richard Clower, who is also from
another county, going to a barroom quite of
ten and drinking pretty freely. This arous
ed the suspicions of the police, and they de
teimined to keep an eye on them. They
Finally heard Clower make arrangements to
take the other man to a wagon yard, where
he could put up for the night, and a short
time afterwards, seeing Clower come in from
an opposite direction and go into a store, a
policeman who knew he had no money the
night before, followed him and found him
spending money pretty lavishly for clothing,
&c. This fact was reported to Capt. Cobb
Davis, Chief of Police, who ordered the arrest
of Clower on suspicion. Mr. Eberhart was
then searched for and found, and upon ex
amination, he stated that he had been robbed
of some twenty odd dollars.
Clower was held until Saturday morning,
when he was brought before Judge Thomas,
of the County Court, where he plead guilty
to the charge of larceny from the person, and
was sentenced to pay a fine of S6O and costs,
or eight months on the county chain gang.—

CHEERING NEWS!!
A Reported Victory for the Democracy
in Ohio.
The Atlanta Constitution of Wednesday
says :
Our telegrams from Ohio this morning are
of the most cheering description. The radi
cals concede their defeat, and there seems to
be no sort of doubt that the democrats have
made a clean sweep of the state, including
both branches of the general assembly by a
majority of between ten and twenty-five thou
sand votes. The republicans claim that the
democratic gains in the western reserve and
elsewhere is due to apathy on the part of
republicans who remained" away from the
polls in order to show their dissatisfaction
with Mr. Hayes.
This is the “first fruits” of the Bx 7 “re
turning commission.” and shows that the
“dear people” are coming to their senses
once more.
Yankee Spleen in New York Tribune.
W e have received a circular containing ed
itorial remarks from the New York Tribune,
on Georgia Repudiation, and strictures there
on by J. Ilenly Smith, of Atlanta. It is well
known that the New York Tribune is no friend
to the South, and we would suggest to Mr.
Smith that charges made against us in its
columns could hardly present game worth the
ammunition.
W e do not think it is in the power of such
a paper to injure us much, even at the North,
and it can certainly have no influence on our
own self-respect. Much wiser, and certainly
much more honest men than said editor of
the New York Tribune, have thoroughly in
vestigated the claims of the bogus bonds and
have decided that they ought not to he paid,
and that Georgia’s honor will not be compro
mised by repudiating them.
We are glad to know that “Georgia’s hon
or” is in much, abler, purer and nobler hands
than that which could pen such editorials
about a State’s “ honor,” and yet uphold
thieves and robbers in the plundering of a
prostrate and impoverished people ; and snarl
like a cur at the heels of an honest President,
because the United States soldiers were no
longer employed hy him to protect the thieves
and robbers in their villainous work.
Out upon such a dog's sense of honor ! It
is the howl of a thief against an honest man,
who shuts his doors against further plunder,
and declines to pay a stolen note.
We do not know that Mr. Smith’s intima
tion that said editor is cither me liately or
immediately interested in the repudiated
bonds is well formed, but wc certainly know
that solicitude for Georgia's honor did not
suggest the editorial.
W’e would not give this much space to a
notice of such spleen, but we arc aware that
many honest Georgians have patronized the
New York Tribune, and the proprietors of
that paper are now, by advertisement and
otherwise, seeking to extend its circulation in
our borders, and making earnest bids for
some of those dollars saved by our “dishon
est people” in repudiating the bonds. We
give them the benefit of this free notice.
Milledgeville vs. Atlanta.
Editor Forest News : In your last issue
appeared an article over the signature of
“ Economy,” giving three reasons why the
writer would vote for Milledgeville: First,
because the buildings there are good enough
for all purposes of government. Second, be
cause the people are unable to build. Third,
because Atlanta can not comply with her offer.
Our people would do well to remember that
Economy's” reasons arc simple affirmations,
and as such, entitled to no respect without
proof.
“ Economy” places the State of Georgia in
the position of a beggar, unable to procure
shelter by virtue of his own means and too
proud to accept shelter at the hands of charity.
The question that should present itself to
the voter is, where ought the Capital of Geor
gia to be located ? In answering this ques
tion, we should not be influenced.bv the in
terest of Atlanta nor that of Milledgeville;
we should certainly not be influenced by
••Economy's'’ threat of abandoning the State.
The interest of the entire State should he re
garded. A certain degree of State pride is
always commendable, but it should be of a
high type, that raises us above little spiteful
feelings and local interests. Would we, as
citizens, feel proud of the old “ Empire State”
with tier Capital located in the village of Mil
ledgeville, and that, too, for the reasons that
we were too poor to build elsewhere, and
afraid to locate the Capitol in Atlanta for fear
Atlanta would haughtily say, “behold what
we did for the State of Georgia !”
Surely these things will not influence us in
determining the Capital question ; if they do,
then Atlanta may well say that we are “old
fogies, enemies to progress,” &c.
“ Economy” must bear in mind that his
statement, ••even now citizens outside of At
lanta are esteemed old fogies, enemies to
progress, &c.,” can not be received without
evidence.
If Atlanta is the proper place for the Cap
itol, then by all means let us vote for Atlanta,
and if we fear that our State can not prosper
in the event Mr. Economy should attempt to
execute his threat of moving out of the State,
let us demand the issuing of a writ ne exeat
reyno. Spero Milora.
Seventy-Five Dollars Reward I
At or near Friendship Baptist church, For
syth county, Ga.. on the 16th of September,
a young man named Newton Smith was shot
by one Enoch Bramblett, Jr. (commonly call
ed Bud Bramblett.) The members of the
church and community have offered the above
reward for the arrest and delivery of Bram
blett to the Sheriff of Forsyth count}”. The
Governor has, or will, no doubt, offer an ad
ditional reward. The following is a descrip
tion of Bramblett:
Description. —Said Enoch Bramblett, Jr.,
(called Bud) is about twenty-two (22) years
of age; about five (o) feet, nine or ten (9 or
10) inches high; weighs about one hundred
and fifty (150) pounds; light complexion;
sandy hair ; right eye out, blind eye very full;
ball of eye large and white. He has a very
peculiar appearance.
PAY YOUR DEBTS.
This may be, perchance, an unpleasant
subject to some people, yet it is one in which
all—rich and poor—young and old—are alike
interested. Hence, we make use of Brother
Tyler Peeples’ ideas, as set forth in last
week's issue of his paper, the Gwinnett Her
ald, and indulge the hope that each patron
may take time to read and ponder and then
apply the considerations therein contained :
One of the greatest curses to an agricul
tural people is debt. It renders men dis
satisfied with their lot, it paralizes the arm
of industry, and hangs like a horrid night
mare over many a home in the land, where
there should be sunshine and happiness.—
How many men are there in Gwinnett county
whose very existence is soured by being in
debt ? It is true that short crops for seve
ral years have rendered it difficult to meet
our obligations as they fell due, but this has
not been our onl\ r trouble. There has been,
until the last year, a general disposition to
speculate, to take heavy risks in the hope of
winning a big stake, and the result, in nine
cases out of ten. has been disastrous. This
spirit of speculation and over-reaching our
means, has been confined to no class, but
men in all avocations have been afflicted
with the mania of getting rich by some bold
move on the chess board.
The recent financial panic lias taught us a
lesson, if w’e are disposed to learn from ex
perience, and we are glad to note that in this
section, at least, for the last year, men have
become more cautious and prudent; and we
estimate that the aggregate debt of the coun
try is much smaller than it was two years
ago.
This has been a prosperous }*ear. All our
crops have yielded finely, and there will be a
much larger surplus for market this fall than
at any time since the war. Fortunately, our
farmers will not be compelled to take their
‘cotton money’ to suppliment their corn crop
next year. Nearl}* every man who has work
ed will make enough to supply home wants,
and a large number will have some to sell.—
Heretofore, ‘cotton money’ had to be saved
to buy corn and meat, but, if we are not mis
informed, this county will come very near
raising its own pork. It follows that, if we
get a fair price for our productions, money
will be more plentiful during the winter than
for several years.
Now, we desire to make a few practical
suggestions to our people. Let your first
care be to save what 3’ou have made, and
then pay your debts. Pay off that lien on
your crop ; raise that mortgage on your home,
hunt up your creditor and take up your
notes —in a word, get out of debt. Don’t
commence speculating, buying more land and
mules, or going on some wild goose chase to
the West, hut put yourself in a position
where you can be independent. Because a
man is poor is no reason why he cannot he
happy and independent, and no honest man
who intends to pay his debts can be happy
as long as he is involved. Don’t try to avoid
your obligations by flanking behind a home
stead. hut inarch straight up to the front, pay
as far as you can, secure the remainder, and
you will get time to pay the balance, and will
maintain your credit, which is worth a great
deal as you have learned in the last two
years.
If everybody would set out this fall to pay
up, it would he much easier than we imagine.
You pay your neighbor, that enables him to
pay somebody else, and perhaps the same
money will come hack to )*ou in less than a
month. A dollar put in circulation on the
first of October will pay ten before Christ
mas. and relieve many an anxious heart.
The great object in life, at least in a tem
poral point of view, is to secure happiness,
.and no man can he happy who is not con
tented. How can a man be contented who
feels that his home, and everything lie has.
is liable to be seized any day bv the Sheriff?
Or how can he he happy if he spends his life
in dodging around corners to avoid his
creditors ?
The Rozier Murder.
THE CASE TO BE RE-OPENED VERY SOON AND
enright’s story sifted.
W e are in receipt of a letter asking wheth
er or not Enright’s testimony lias succeeded
in clearing Lovett and Griggs of the murder
of Rozier in Sparta.
Enright, it will be remembered, is the wit
ness captured by Detective Murphy, lie
swears that the murder was committed by
two employes of Howe’s circus, then encamp
ed in Augusta.
In reply, we say that Enright has not yet
told his story to the court. When Detective
Monaghan arrested ’Griggs and Lovett for
the murder of Rozier, he also arrested a man
named Barnes. All were equally guilty or
innocent. Griggs and Lovett were tried but
Barnes’ trial was postponed to the next court.
It will come off next week, and Enright will
then be introduced. A test case will be
made with liis testimony during Barnes’ trial.
If Barnes is acquitted, steps will then be ta
ken to save Lovett and Griggs.
An intense excitement has been developed
in Sparta over the new revelations. The
story of Enright is not generally credited,
but there are many who believe it. Detective
Monaghan still adheres to the belief that he
arrested the right parties. He will attend
the trial in person. We shall report it fully
and promptly. It will be one of the most
remarkable trials ever set before a court.—
Atlanta Constitution.

An Important Decision.
It will be remembered that some days ago
we alluded to some important Guano cases
that were being tried before Judge Hillyer,
in DeKalb county. The merchants in selling
the Guano now take notes with a waiver of
the implied warranty. The Guano is sold
on the inspector’s brand and the faith of the
analysis. In the notes that is made the con
dition or basis of the sale is an express cove
nant. The defendants tried to go behind
the notes and resisted payment on the ground
that the Guano did not benefit them. This
Judge Hillyer ruled they could not do, and
in substance decided that if one signs a note
of this character, without being misled, de
ceived, overreached and defrauded thereto as
to the terms and stipulations contained in
such note, or could by the use of ordinary
diligence and prudent action have discovered
or ascertained the contents and conditions
specified in the note, then they are conclud
ed by its terms and estopped from pleading
or setting up that the Guano did not benefit
them, lie further held that if one by his
own mistake or omission failed to read the
writing, that would not excuse him. This is
an important decision, and made by an able
lawyer.— At. Const. Ith.

Murkta Pasha,
Again comes to the front. The Russians
very recently made a strong effort to cut off
Murkta Pasha from Kars, and therebj’ destroy
his communications, but they were beaten
back by the Turks wUh heavy loss, accord
ing to Constantinople news.
It Will be Remembered
That Kars is in Asia, near the eastern fron
tier of Turkey, where there was some heavj T
fighting early last spring.
Little or Nothing Has Been Done
there during the summer and fall until very
recently.
The Western Armies of the Russians
having been completely checked sent
heavy reinforcements to the East, to make
one more desperate effort to break the lines
of Murkta Pasha and capture the long threat
ened Kars ; but it seems the}’ have found fhe
old fox wide awake and his teeth well whet
ted.
Nevis from the Russian Army
however, report their losses much less than
the Turks in the recent contest.
Still it is admitted ,
that no advantage was gained and no real
progress made, but Russ and Turk occupy
the same positions as before the fight.
In the West ,
nothing of importance has been done since
our last report.
Muhktars Victory.
A dispatch received from Muhktar Pasha
increased his former estimates of the Russian
losses during the recent fighting at 15,000
and places the loss to the Turks at 2,500.

so much really valuable, ’paying information
: for so little money—not 3 cents a week, a

, the paper will be sure to help one to do.—
| This Journal is prepared by practical men
and women, who know what they talk and
write about from actual experience and large

The Tipton White Prolific Corn.
I BOUGHT one thousand grains of this Corn
last Spring, and paid *2.30 for it. Mr. E. G.
Wigington planted and cultivated it forme. There
was just one-eighth of an acre, on very thin pine
land, and it was just beginning to silk and tassel
when the drought came on the first of July, and
notwithstanding the poor land and dry weather,
it yielded at the rate of forty bushels per acre.
The corn is perfectly white, good si/e ears, large,
flat grains, shells quite easy, and has from three
to six ears on each stalk. It is from three to four
weeks earlier than common com, and stands
drought much better. It is better suited to thin
upland than any corn I ever saw, and will make
three times as much on any kind of land. I will
sell a small quantity at One Dollar per Quart.
This may appear high for corn, but I had the grains
counted to me at 23 cents per hundred. 1 refer
