North Georgia Conference.
Incidentally, we have mentioned, more
than once, recently, the convening of this
ecclesiastical body, in Gainesville, on the
28th inst. This is the first time, we believe,
that an Annual Conference has met in the
upper part of Northeast. Georgia. Delegates
to similar convocations which have met from
time to time in the “Queen City.” have al
ways spoke in the most glowing terms of the
hospitality of its noble-hearted citizens—o' -
all classes and denominations. And in the
present instance, wc have all reasons for
believing, her good people will render them
selves entitled to renewed encomiums for
their courtesy and noble-spirited generosity.
In this connection, it may not be out of
place to remark, that Rev. Mr. Fa Kiss, who
has Iteen on the Jefferson Circuit for the past
three “Conference vears,” will fill his last
appointment in Jefferson on next Sunday.—
At this particular point, he leaves his charge
in a pretty fair condition—spiritually ; and
"ill we think, carry with himself and his
interesting family*, the prayers ami good
wishes of the entire Circuit.

A Compliment.
The Oglethorpe Echo commenting on
Mr. Davis’ Photograph triumph at the State
Fair has this to say : Everybody knows that
the best place in Georgia to get an elegant
picture of one’s self is Davis’ Galleiv, in Ath
ens : and now that times are easy, we would
advise our people to ornament their homes
with photographs of their family—pictures
that will prove to be “joys forever,” instead
of wasting their money on trashy engravings,
and the like. Remember, delays are danger
ous. Don’t wait till sickness lays some lov
ed one of the family at death’s gate, and then
think of “what might have been but take to
day for it, and with your family go to Davis’
Gallery, and be photographed. You will be
glad when you have done it, and find money
and the little time well spent.
Treating for Votes.
M e think the time has come when our peo
ple should speak out on this subject, and set
their faces as flints against such evils. Our
delegates wisely made provision, in the new
Constitution, for restraining this crime, but
all such laws are very inefficient unless they
are sustained by public opinion. Where can
didates and voters unite to set aside the law,
who will try to execute it ? Certainly not the
officers who get office by “treating.” We
take it for granted that onr people have suf
fered enough from embezzlement and corrup
tion, and that they are tired of having the
Governments, State and Federal, maladmin
istered. There is but one wav out of this
trouble, and that is for the people to demand
and elect such officers as are not only above
temptation themselves, but above seeking of
fice by tempting others. We think this is a
pretty safe proposition, that a man who will
try to buy votes with liquor or anything else ,
as a general rule, can be bought himself. Why
not? He is teaching*corruption, and he who
teaches it is apt to practice it. We do not
wish to be harsh, and we admit that there may
be exceptions, though we doubt, it. At any
rate, it is time our people were looking into
this matter. Again, we all know, that it is
contrary to law for any one to treat for votes,
directly or indirectly. If, then, an office-seck.
er violates this law. or in any way ova les it
when, as a good citizen, lie is alrea' ly bound
most solemnly to observe it, what con fidence
can v'c have in the oath of that man, when, if
elected, he swears to support the Constitution,
and to faith fully execute the fairs ? Can even
the voters who take such bribes, trust him
who offers it ? We talk plainly; for it is
time our much plundered and long suffering
people should select, all their officers, as they
do some, from men above suspicion of break
ing or evading the laws.
We have had enough of sad lessons on this
subject, in all conscience, in our State ; but
the plunder and robbery in South Carolina
and Louisiana, by officers who evaded and
disregarded the laws and their solemn obli-
I gations, and whose rascalities are now being
exposed, should so impress these lessons as
to make us reject any man who ofi'cVs to treat
for vote*, however indirectly —and thereby
evade the law. We cannot afford to trust
such men.

Sale Day
Was only tolerably well attended last Tues
day. The sickness of one of our young men,
as well as the busy season and growing short -
ness of the days, rendered it impossible for
us to “circulate” among the constituents of
the News on the dav in question. At the
“usual hour,” the stentorian “cry” of Capt.
Tom Williams notified us that the principal
feature in the day’s exercises had commenced.
The following lands, previously advertised,
were “put up” and “knocked down” as
follows :
Land of John M. Hancock, dec'd, W. M.
Willingham, adm'r, sold to the administrator.
Land of W. 11. Boyd, dec’d, W. R. A. Boyd,
adm’r, sold to the administrator.
Land of Wiley R. Garrison, dec’d, J. M.
Venable, adm’r, sold to Mr. Dink Crisler.
Temperance Exercises.
We frequently hear of a “ week of prayer,”
hut seldom hear of a week of Temperance
lectures —especially in the “forest; but, as
was announced last week, the friends of the
“cause” fulfilled the published programme as
far as “ wind and weather” would permit.—
The following was the order of “exercises”
for the week :
Harris’ school-house, Saturday night. Nov.
3d; Bethlehem. Monday night. Nov. sth;
Pond Pork Lodge. Tuesday night, Nov. 6th ;
Pentecost Church. Wednesday night, Nov.
7th; Gallilee Church, Thursday night, Nov.
Bth; Jefferson, Friday night, Nov. 9th ; Har
mony Grove, Saturday, Nov. 10th, 11a. no.
As many of our readers get their papers
Friday afternoon, we take the liberty of call-
attention to the meeting for that evening
O
to be held in the Presbyterian and Baptist
church. The week’s entertainment, it is
seen, will be closed with the meeting of the
County Lodge, at Harmony Grove, to-day,
Saturday.
Habersham, Evans & Cos.
In this issue is published the card of this
firm, located in our “sister city” of Gaines
ville. We bespeak for our friends, the earn

sell lands or other property for agricultural
or mining purposes. The firm is composed
of gentlemen of unexceptionable character,
while their “references” are among the best
in the State.
Dr. J. H. Rhinehardt
Requests us to say to his friends and the

to be, and will not be.

J. G. Thrower,
The “champion” Good Templar of the
State, dropped in on us the other day. He
is on a missionary tour, building up the
“cause” in the regions round about, this
week. When we read and hear of so main*
disasters and fatal results from the use of the
“dark beverage,” we cannot but wish our
friend and liis noble compeers an abundant
“harvest” in their “labor of love.”
Death of Col. Thos. T. Dorough.
Many of our readers were, doubtless, ac
quainted with the gentleman whose name ap
pears at the “head” of this short epistle.—
And they will, we feel well assured, mingle
their heartfeft regret with ours in chronicling
his sad and untimely demise on .Saturday
night last. lie was, we learn, run over and
horribly* mangled, on the night above men
tioned, by the train on the N. E. railroad, some
two miles above Harmony Grove. His head,
or at least a portion of it, was severed entire
l} f from the bod}', and was found some dis
tance from the lifeless remains. The engi
neer in charge of the locomotive saw him —but
too late to stop his engine before running
over him. Col. Dorough was in the prime of
life —being only about 40 years of age—and
leaves a wife and some half-dozen children
to weep over his tragic death. He was an of
ficer in the Confederate army during the late
war, and is said to have been an excellent
and worthy soldier.

Cavalry Boots-
The other day* when the mist and gloom
hung over the city like a pall, a man entered
a shoe store in this city presided over by* a
German gentleman and stated briefly :
“I want to see a pair of boots.”
lie was shown a number of pairs, the vir
tues of which were dilated upon largely* by
the proprietor, and after the customer had
overhauled a considerable amount of stock
he selected a certain pair, paid for them, and,
with his purchase under his arm, plunged
into the gloom of the outer world.
On Saturday evening he returned to the
shoe emporium, slammed a package down on
the counter and directing the German gen
tleman’s attention to it howled :
“ Lookee there !”
The proprietor quietly untied the bundle,
displayed a pair of boots with the soles en
tirely worn off.
“There,” exclaimed the irritated custom
er, •* is the pair of boots I bought from you
day before yesterday. Wlmt kind of work
do you call this? They are the same boots,
ain't they ?”
“Dot ish de same boots,” said the pro
prietor.
Well, what have you got to saj’ about it?”
“Mine Got!” observed the proprietor,
"you must have walked in dose boots!”
“Walked in ’em ?” shrieked the customer ;
“and n your eyes, of course I walked in
’em ; what do I want a pair of boots for?”
“Hah, mine frient,” remarked the proprie

— ——
tragedy occurred in Chicago last
week, which created a great sensation. A
man named Joseph W. Gladden, of Oshaloo
sa, lowa, ended his own existence, and also
that of a woman who had come to the board
ing house where he was stopping, claiming to
he his wife. The two had been closeted togetli
er sometime, when the chambermaid, in pass
ing the door of their room, heard loud cries,
and a moment later was horrified at seeing
the woman emerge from the room with her
throat cut. She was followed by Gladden,
whose throat wbs also cut, and who fell upon
the woman, when both expired. As they
were being carried from the building on the
way to the Morgue the covering of the wo
man’s face was accidentally lifted, and a
bystander recognized the body of the woman
as his wife. He had just arrived in the city
to search for her, and was accidentally pass
ing the house when he made the horrible dis
covery.
THE NORTHEAST ROAD.
A TWO MINUTES TALK Wlfli OOV. COLQUITT.
He ruts a Quietus Upon orik of the Sample
“ Arguments ” of Mifledae dilie —How Atlan
ta Interested IJefdetf Avoid the Bonds.
Reliable reports frOrii tidrctienst Geoagia
have reached this city, stailtig that Senator
Furman, in his campaign speeches ?ri thritsec
tion, has been endeavoring to arr.ly the peo
pie against Atlanta by elaborating an "#rgn'-"
ment"to prove that Atlanta is opposed to the
building of the Northeast Georgia railroad
to its terminus and that the people of this city
are Uniting thier protests and influence to pre
vent the endorsement of the bonds of the road
by Govehor Colquitt.
In order In fcntftt just how far there was
foundation for any Stich "argument*’ a reporter
of The COJWTIUjTIttN yesterday called upon
Gov. Colquitt, at the executive (''flier?, and de
layed that obliging gentleman from his din
ner just about two minutes, while the follow
ing interview took place :
WIIAT THE GOVERNOR SAltb
Reporter—Governor, the statement is be
ing made in northeast Georgia that the peo
ple of Atlanta are opposed to the interests of
the Northeast Georgia railroad, and have
sought, some of them, to influence your ad
verse action in the matter of the endorsement
of the road’s bonds?
Gov, Colquitt—That is a very great
mistake. There has nothing of the sort
occurred.
Reporter —Then we may deny that such
a thing exists as a fact ?
Gov. Colquitt—You may go further and
state that no man, or set of men. in Atlanta,
have sought to influence me to adverse action
upon the claim of the Northeast RaifrVytfd
company to state aid by endorsement of (be
road's bonds. Upon the contrary, the only
action urged upon me by citizens of Atlanta
in this connection, has been in favor of the
road and the endorsement of the bonds.
Reporter— You conclude, then, that At
lanta is not opposed to the interests of the
road ?
Gov. Colquitt —From all the expressions
upon the subject, I should say not, and I
might add that the citizens of Atlanta have a
direct interest in seeing the project success
fully accomplished.
Reporter —How does the matter of the
endorsement of the bonds now stand ?
Gov. Colquitt—The matter now stands
for ray action. I have not endorsed the
bonds.
Upon any other point in the affair the Gov
ernor was silent. lie gave no intimation of
his probable action upon tlie application for
the State’s endorsement upon the bonds of
the company. Some persons who appear to
know, intimate that the directors of the com
pany are not at all afraid that Atlanta or her
people are keeping them out of the endorse
ment.
It, is sufficient that the above remarks of
t he Governor should be known, to put at rest,
in the minds of all sensible men. any reliance
upon fiie so-called “argument*’ of our speech
making enemies.— At. Const.
