Hon. Kolrert Housoii Jucksoii.
The Atlanta Capital of last Saturday,
among other biographical sketches of the
of the State Legislature, had
the following relative to one of Greene’s
distinguished sons, Senator Robert H.
Jackson, now representing Troup, Heard
and Carroll counties:
“On entering the Senate chamber one
is attracted by the tall and commanding
form and handsome, striking countenance
of the above mentioned gentleman. He
is the representative from the counties of
Troup, Heard and Carroll.
He was born at White Plains, Greene
county, October 12, 1829. His early days
were passed there, and after that time he
resided in Heard county. His education
was obtaiued at White Plains and at
Dawson Institute. When twenty-three
years old he entered the ministerial ranks
and began preaching the Word of God.
At these pursuits he has passed the re
mainder of his life since then. He bad
been a member of the Legislature from
Heard from 1881 to 18tki. In politics he
is a Democrat.”
Senator Jackson’s mother was also a
native of Greene oounty. The subject of
this brief sketch spent a short time with
his relatives in Greenesboro, Mr. V. S.
Hall and family, and would have preach
ed at the Baptist church on Sunday, but
was unavoidably delayed until it was too
late.
Mrs. Frank Leslie’s Prints.
Our readers should not overlook the
advertisement of Mrs. Frank Leslie,
which appears in this paper. The pro
prietor of the well known and enter
prising publishing house oftors a splendid
statuette of Bartholdi’s “Liberty" free
of charge, to every subscriber to the Il
lustrated Newspaper or the Popular
Monthly, or for two subscriptions to the
Sunday Magizine. Each of these publi
cations have hosts of old readers and
friends in all parts of the country, who
do not need to be told that they are
among the very best issued. The stat
uette is the exact fac-simile of the co
lossal figure in New York harbor, of the
same material, and is an excellent
parlor or mantel ornament—“not for a
day but for all time.” Mrs. Leslie, with
dier usual enterprise, has secured abso
lute control for premium purposes of
the statuette, and it will be offered by
no other publisher. The Frank Leslie
Publications are of a high order of ex
cellence, and enjoy well-deserved pop
ularity.
Mr. John Park.
Many of our readers have an unpleas
ant recollection of the sad accident which
occurred to Mr. John Park, son of Judge
J. B. Park, by which, in falling from a
tree of considerble height by the breaking
of a limb, his back was so severely in
jured as to deprive him of the use of his
limbs and coniine him to the house, with
little prospect of early recovery. On a
visit to him the other day the writer was
shown a very handsome miniature chest
and wardrobe, and various tools and use
ful articles which he has manufactured
during his confinement, which show a
wonderful mechanical skill and untiring
perseverance under great and painful
embarrassments. Our friend may rest
assured that he has the prayers aud besj
wishes of the whole community for his
speedy recovery.
Distinguished Visitor.
Ex-Governor Henry D. McDaniel and
Mrs. McDaniel made a pleasant visit to
Ureeuesboro andvirinitv on last Monday.
They arrived at 11:40 a. m. from Walton
county, and, having dined at the Mapp
House, proceeded to the home uf his es
teemed and venerable aunt at Penflcld,
Mrs. Cynthia Sanders, where they remain
ed sevoral days. Governor McDaniel’s
father was once a merchant at Penflcld,
and the Governor himself graduated
from Mercer University at that place.

—There will be no other paper from
this office until January 7. Meanwhile
we commit the Christmas interval with
all its joys, those only, perhaps, in antic
ipation as well as those which are sure
of realization, to our friends, patrons and
readers, of whom there are quite enough
to make up a numerous and successful
holiday concourse. With our next we
will catch up with the procession.
—The J. * C, Fischer upright pianos
are the best, and they are unquestion
ably the only upright pianos that have
received the unsolicited and unanimous
endorsement, not only of the musical
profession, but what is still better, the
public itself, The universal success of
these superior instruments is due solely
to their standard worth and sterling qual
ities, and as such they are offered by
the Manufacturers. Phillips & Crew,

—After a rather protracted session the
legislature adjourned on Wednesday last
last, to meet again on the first Wednes
day in July next. Quite a large number
of bills were reported and referred to
committees, but few of general interest
passed. Oil the whole the present legis
lature will compare quite favorably with
its “illustrious predecessors;” most of
them have proven expensive luxuries to
the people. The sooner we return to an
nual sessions the better.

A Happy New Year!
In order that the coming New Year
maybe such, it will be seen that the
Woman’s Christian Temperance Union
earnestly appeals to their sisters to with
hold, in their reception of New Year’s
guests, the tempting intoxicatiug drinks.
We trust this timely appeal will be
heeded:
In view of the fact that there is a gen
eral effort being made throughout the
State to redeem our people from the evils
of drunkenuess, through which comes so
much sin, and wrong, and suffering, and
ruin and crime, resulting from the custom
of indulging in intoxicating beverages,
the Woman's Christian Temperance Un
ion makes an earnest appeal to the
women of Georgia to withhold this temp
tation from our men, especially ou the
coming New Year’s day.
Many of them who have felt its danger
ous influence and are aware of the harm
it is doing them, would be glad to re
nounce the habit with the beginning of
another year. And many, who have not
as yet become a slave to it may perhaps
take the fatal glass on that day, which
may tempt them over the line on the
downward course, from which there will
he no returning. Mothers, sisters, friends,
will you he the ones to give it ?
Let the terrible tragedy which has so
recently sent a thrill of horror through
the State be a warning to every woman
in Georgia. Every glass that was offered
them and every drink taken helped them
a step nearer to the fearful crime! Will
you lend your hands to such a deed as
that ? We trust not.
Do you call us fanatical ? Then tell us
whether it is better to stand between
such a curse and its victims, or to aid it
iu its fearful course ?
Which will you do ? Trusting that for
your own sakes as well as for the easily
tempted, you will withhold that which
may lead to wrong, we are, respectfully,
The W. C. T. U. of Georgia.
Mbs. W. C. Sibi.ky, President.
N. B.—State papers please copy.

ing with enthusiasm. The results may
be therefore confidently foreshadowed,
l’be entertainments will no doubt excel
the very best of other years iu many re
spects.
“Many Marriages.’*

and crowded columns led us into “many

blunders, howevermuch we doubtless de
served blame. The corrected list is as
lollowß, and we renew our congratula
