lot §sm if y ROB’T S. HOWARD, Editor. JEFFERSOIsT, GrJA. l'ltll>AY Orlohor i, I**o. NettTuc-May is election day. “Uncle Pete,” you are mistaken in the man. Don’t forget that next Tuesday is election day. Lota of the cities are suffering from a water famine. Gen. Gordon has been canvassing Florida with good results. The Atlanta Constitution says that the epizootic is raging in that city. Speer’s majority will not be as large as some of his most sanguine friends expect. In our next issue we hope we will he able to tell you who will be the next resident of these United States. Now, that it is too late to answer them, the friends of both of our Congressional as pirants are flooding the country with circulars abusive of the other man. 'L’lie Geogia Legislature meets next week. Atlanta will he crowded by office-seekers, as there are a good many offices to fill—from United Slates Senator down. lien Hill says that the defeat in Indiana can tie set down against Mr. Bayard and Wade Hampton. It is always nice to have a reason ready for any emergency. The Givhun'tt Herald calls theNKWS.a Speer paper. What leads it to this conclusion we know not. lint we must put in our protest; we could spread ourselves upon the subject, but what is the use ? We are rejoicing over the fact that the citizens of .laekson county have not allowed themselves to get excited over the Sneer and I tell contest,. It, is far hotter to turn this part of the programme over to the politicians. It, will not profit the hard working people of the District one cent. Vote for the man of your choice, and say no more about it. We give in allot her column the details of a horrible milder which happened in our neigh boring comity. To-day a man is to pay the penalty of just such a crime, perpetrated in our midst not may months since. The citizens of Hall should leave no stone unturned in trying to find out the perpetrators of this dastardly crime. Such events are getting too common. A man by the name of MoCalla has been doing a paying business in Atlanta by col lecting money out of the State Treasury on papers purporting t,o be the claims of maim ed soldiers of the State of Georgia. The papers were all regular, and bore the seals of the counties where it was supposed that the applicant lived. Becoming too bold he got caught up with, and has been convicted of forgery. The Gainesville Southron., in its last issue, accuses Prof. Glenn of writing an article in our last Week’s issue, signed “ Democrat.” In justice to Mr. Glenn, we state that the! Southron is mistaken. The article was at masterly statement of the case against Mr. ; Speer, and wvb somewhat, similar to Professor Glenn’s arraignment of Norwood in the late Gubernatorial campaign, which “spouting,'’ as (he Southron choused to term it, was copied in several papers, and highly com mended by the Colquittites. “ Democrat” is another individual altogether. The Southron must not think that we have but one man down here able to write an article, and con sequently attribute everything to Professor Glenn. But, on the contrary, it should re member that not long since we had in our Columns a most eloquent appeal for Mr. Speer. We have plenty of chaps down here that can handle a goose quill. How Watches are Made- It will lie apparent to any one, who will examine a SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside from the necessary thickness for en graving and polishing, a large proportion of t ie previous metal used, is needed only to s'iffen and hold the engraven* portions in \ lace, and supply the necessary solidity and st rength. The surplus gold is actually need lass so far as utility and heautv are con cerned. IN .JAMES BOSS’ PATENT GOLD WATCII CASES, this waste of pre cious metal is overcome, and the same so 1.1 hity and strength produced at from one third to one half of the usual cost of solid cases. This process is of the most simple nature, as follows: a plate of nickle compo sition metal, especially adapted to the pur pose, Ims two plates of solid gold soldered one on each side. The three are then passed between polished steel rollers, and the re sult is a strip >f heavy plated composition, from which the cases, hacks, centres, bevels. Ac., are cut and. shaped by suitable dies and formers. The gold in these cases is sulfi eiently thick to admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and enamelling; the engraved cases have been carried until worn perfectly smooth by time and use without removing the gold. THIS IS THE ONLY CASE MADE WITH TWO PLA TES OF SOLID GOLD AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL CER TIFICATE. For sale by all Jewelers. Ask for Illus trated Catalogues, and to see warrant. A Wise Deacon. “ Deacon Wilder, I want you to tell rac how you kept yourself and family well the | ast season, when all the rest if us have been sink so much, and have had the doctors visit ing us so often.” “ Bro. Tavlor, the answer is very easy. I used Hop Bitters in time; kept, my family well and save 1 doctor bills. Three dollars' v-orth of it kept us well and able to work all the time. I’ll warrant it has cost you and the neighbors one to two hundred dollars apiece to keep sick the time.” Deacon, 1 11 use your medicine hereafter.” How Shall I Vote? Next Tuesday is election ciujy On that r]ay we are to choose a I're-dglent nhd anew Congress for the United Kfmcspy}( is hard ly neccsaa r y for us to fell Win tll|t if you favor a free government by the! people and the rights of the St a amUJeciiietdape those principles perpetuated, Wyrt ytui Had better vote for Hancock and is but one side to that question, and but, one man as the exponent of those principles so dear to every Southern man. As to who you should vote for to represent tiie Ninth District, our deliberate opinnion is that you can vote for cither Bell or Speer and get a good member. We can see no difference In the men as regards party or principles, and as to intellectual qualifications, you have seen and heard both, and can make your own deductions. Both men have been slandered by t lie friends of the other; both have done tilings that we do not approve of; but, as far as their general fitness goes, they arc about as good as the general run of Con gressmen, and perhaps some better. Both have been there, and 1 ave had a trial ; their record is familiar to you, and you areas able to make a conclusion of the matter as we are. Whenever one of them ceases to be a Demo crat, wc will warn you of it, but until then do as you please. OUR RAILROAD. Fush the Work On. I find that the outside world are watching us with great interest. They regard our railroad from Gainesville as a fixed fact, and they arc looking on old Jackson as one of the most enterprising counties in the State of Georgia. I have recently met many in piirics about our lands, products, &e. If our railroad is completed by next summer, we may safely expect a large influx of new citizens, and much needed capital. Some of the Northern capitalists ever are watching our movements with considerable interest. Just, here. Mr. Editor, let me sug gest that we do not kill the goose which is to lay the golden egg, even before we have found the first one. I mean this: our land holders about Jefferson and along the line may anticipate the advance in property and real estate, and place such prices on their property as to exclude the capital seeking investments here. This will be a fearful mistake; indeed, a fatal mistake; and I hear that some of our citizens a*’e already falling into that mistake. It will be too bad, after so many warnings, to blunder at this point. There is a glorious chance ahead of us ; let us not lose it. Let those who hold land offer a part of it at low, even very low prices, so as to start the intlux of immigration hither. Let those who have only small places, and cannot either one offer a sufficient amount for a settlement, pool a small portion from several places, and offer for sale at low pri**e. Our success hinges right here. Friends, do not make a mistake. If, you cannot sell at such prices as you wish, sell a part any how, and at any price to secure the inflow of capital. Above all, let us not check the work on the road. Let us pa)’ up the assessments promptly, and keep the contrac tors fully supplied with means to push for ward the work vigorously." I hear that some influences are at work to prevent the pay ment of stock subscribed. Let all parties interested in the road dis regard any adverse suggestions, and meet the calls of the Direc tors promptly. We are engaged in a grand enterprise: We see clearly the magnificent results if wo are suc cessful. Let us not entertain even a thought ZD j of failure or hesitate in the work. Day up your stock if it is needed, and sub scribe more if necessary. A grand future is ahead of us, if we do not now shrink. Dally, rally to the work, and bring for ward your friends to tiie support. Do not I never, and we will garner a rich harvest in ■ the near future. John W. Glenn. [l/OMMVN [GATED.] Jin. Editor :—ln your issue of 22d instant there appears an advertisement, asking Le gislative enactment to protect Martin In stitute from S v C l l ll inn domination, which requires a brief notice. Being without signa ture we can only guess at its real intention and the parties complaining. It is scarcely credible that this complaint comes from any pcdo-Baptist sect. The Principal, himself a leading Methodist, has had associated with him as Assist,cuts only Methodists and Presbyterians for the last twelve years, or during the whole time he has had charge of the Institute. Under these circumstances, therefore, it is not reasonable that these denominations, having had control ol the Institute for twelve years, and, in fact, ever since the war, would now come forward invoking Legislative interferance to protect their denominational rights. Who among them would for a moment think of such a tiling? The personal interests of some may be jeopardized, but their denominational rights never. It is more reasonable to conclude that this complaint comes from Baptists, whose de nomination has been overlooked in the selec j tion of teachers for nearly a score of years, | though largely represented in the patronage ' of the school. I therefore take this occasion to assure them | that the Board of Trustees are well provided now to protect the rights of the various denominations represented at the Institute, j At tiie last meeting the Trustees either in i tentionally or unintentionally elected a Baptist (\Y. H. Simpkins) to if 11 tiie vacancy caused by the death of lion. J. Bell. This gives an equal number on the Board of Metho dists and Baptists—there being three of each ; one Presbyterian and two non-dcnoiniua , tioual. It seems then that no sect, need to | fear being domineered over by another with this division of the Board of Trustees. I exredinglv regret to make mention of these denominational q<v.vious acre, and *-peeially the (lengmini'co >al e*m iition of tiie Beard* but the apperanee of the advertisement re l ferred to, asking the Legislature to interfere' in this matter, makes it necessary to bring out the facts above mentioned, though trivial, in themselves. At another time I may make another guess at the real cause of this extraordinary advcr v tisement. A. J. Kelly. A Chapter of Blood. The body of Mr. A. D. Henderson, who I was missing neHrly two weeks, was found on Sunday morning last at about 11 o’clock, is a mud hole in a very deep ravine about a hundred yards from Mr. A. G. Dorsey’s resi dence, and in less than half a mile of the court house. There is no doubt that the resurrection would have found the ashes there, hall not George Davis and Willie Black, two lads about fourteen years old, I been clambqring along the bank of this dis mal, out-of-the-waV* raviiuj in search of grapes, i Willie discoveredMo ltfWy first, and the two boys, frighteledalunAt out of their wits, gave the alarm at omMjjjprid within half an hour hundreds of our citizens were at the spot. The body was dragged up the bank, and pre sented a sight that makes us shudder. Yet the clothing was not disturbed, and all on, but the hat, which is not to be ‘found. The face and head, although blackened and dis tort-ed, showed evidently marks of great vififr* lence as with a club, or some heavy weapon, the skull being broken in the back of the ear. A memorandum and a copy of the Souhtron, plainly marked A. D. Henderson, were found in his coat pocket. Nobody doubts his iden tity. or that he was most brutally murdered. ; Constant searcli has been kept up since his I disappearance, to the west of town, in the | direction of his home, but nobody dreamed iof iooking in the direction he was found. | Mr. Henderson was a quiet and good citizen, ; about forty years old. and everybody deplores his tragic end. He leaves a wife and five j small children to mourn his death. They | have our heartfelt condolence in this, their 1 saddest hour. We hope and pray the heart | less scoundrel who took his life may be | caught and hanged before they imbrue their | hands in another good citizens blood. STILL ANOTHER. Wc understand Coroner Lowery hold an inquest Saturday night over the body of a woman, found dead near tlie railroad, about two miles above Sulphur Springs. The body was nearly consumed by fire, the lower limbs, being entirely so. but enough was discovered to convince the jury that the woman had been murdered, as there was blood stains on the remnant of. clothing found upon the up per part of the body, and the back part of her head seemed to -have been crushed in. The investigation seems to have, been very incomplete, as even the name of the woman or where she came from, was not ascertained. We hope lie* ease w'l! he further looked in -1 to. These cold-blooded murders and assas i sinations are becoming entirely too frequent, Ito enjoy a feeling of safety in the commu* j nity.— Gainesville Southron. —<••-*■.-Jar- • ♦ - Mrs. Wm.
