At the September term, 1872, of the Superior Court of Clay county, Arthur Hood announced to the Court the death of Col. Richard Sims. On motion, the Court appointed AKhvtf Hood, Isaac E Dwver, Herbert Fielder, E. L. Douglass, Thomas F. Jones and Isaac A, Bush! Esqrs., a committee, with instructions to report at Early Superior Court. In obedience thereto the committee ap pointed to report & suitable tribute to the memory of the late Col. Richard Sims, a member of the bar of this circuit, submit the following preamble and resolutions: Col. Richard Sims Was born in Han cock coilnty, Georgia, in the year 1818, and died on the 29th day of August, 1872, at his home in Bainbridge, in the 54th year of his age. Hte removed to Decatur county with his father and family, when about 12 years of age, and spent his early life in youthful amusement and sport—not in cultivating and developing that superior mind with which Divine providence had so kindly blessed him. He was elected County Treasurer At the age of 20 or 21 years, which office he faith fully filled. Some time during his term of office he commenced the .study of law and wivs admitted to the bar at about the age of 22 years. He commenced the prac tice of his profession without much prom ise, education, or money. But his untir ing energy, perseverance and application, supported by an tttiCommon memory, a vigorous and discriminating mind, soon rendered him conspicuous as a rising mem ber of that profession, at the head of which a few years later, and ever until his death, he stood distinguished. His political career was short, his time and energies being devoted to his profes sion. lie was elected to the legislature from Decatur county in 1854, and perform ed the duties of legislation with marked integrity and ability. When the disturbing elements of Seces sion and Union were perplexing the pub lic mind, he chose to bmfeark with the South and share the fate of his country men, and his country. He was sent to the Secession Convention at Millodgeville, and there his voice was for “Southern Free dom and his services there, though sad the result, were to that end. After the war begun, he took part in its as a patriot and soldier, holding the commis sion of Colonel, and dignified and exalted that position by his patriotic services. A worthy Mason, of long standing, be nevolent and humane, a friend to all man kind, ho died the oldest member of that fraternity on the list of his Lodge; and was buried with its honors, leaving a re cord Without a blot or a blur. Hb was a member of the Presbyterian Church, believing its faith—devout in his nature and reverence to God. Resolved, That this BAr and Court and Vis country sustained an irreparable loss and are bereft of one of their brightest lights and most distinguished sous in the death of Col. Richard Sims. But we question not, nor comptaiA at the workings v<f the omnipotent and Divine Ruler who “docth all things well,” but humbly say, “Thy will be done.” Resolved, That the bereaved family of our departed brother and friend, have our heartfelt condolence and sympathy. Resolved, That this report be entered on the minutes of this Court and a copy of the same transmitted to the family of Cfil. Richard Sims, by the Clerk-. Resolved, That the Early County News and Bainbridge papers be requested to publish the same. The above preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted. Terrible! Terrible! We were very much pained yesterday, on going into the street to learn that a certain politician was very much “down in' the mouth” about the Pennsylvania elec tion. We bid him be of good cheer, for Roseufeld has on hand a large and com plete stock of domestics and prints, no tions. hosiery, &c., which he is Selling at Fabulously Ldw prices. He sells the best calico at 11 cents. He has also reduced the price of his dress goods ao that nb one wishing to purchase can fail to do so, He challenges the town to produce a sines As sortment or to compete in prices. His stock of ladies and gents boots and shoes cannot be surpassed. H’g also has on band a large supply of groceries in cluding everything in that line. We would advise the gents to go and see his fine assortment of stylish hats, just feceived. In conclusion he begs us to inform house keepers that he has a Agleridid stock of crockery & glassware. In fact his stock comprises everything that the eye or the heart could wish for. Simon A. Wkil.— This gentleman, who is one of the most liberal patrons df the press in this city, i3 out in a column ad vertisement in the Sun this week. We cau specially recommend this house to the favorable consideration of our readers. Mr. Well buys for cash, buys iargely, hnd the very fact of the liberal way in which he advertises, shows that he wishes to make quick sales and small profits. Coun try people coming to town, and who are Ift search of goods at low figures, will cer tainly find them at Weil's. We wert ifi bis store yesterday, and fio ; tlCed the magnitude of his stock. His shelves are packed, and every article that any one could wish fat, he has on hand: Rettiember we specially fecommend this house, as one at which thd public should trade. > * * H. E-. Courtnby.— Mr. it. E. Courtney is going right ahead in the stove and tin ware business. He is located on Broad street, in the same store with Mr. James Watt. Give him a call. City Telegrams. Bainbridge can now boast of three oys ter saloons. Neither of them advertise, hence theft is room for a good saloon here. So far Decatur County has only one knight entered to ride at the Thornasville fair, Mr. W. W. Wright Gumming is going to take pictures again. Everybody and their kinsfolks and Cous ins, are going to the Tbomasvillg fair. We would urge upon our delinquent subscribers the necessity of paying up tit once. Patterson & McNair bhvti about got their store in running order Again, in the Hopwn building. T he Dog family of Bainbridge is on the increase. Those owing ua little bills will please call and settle. These little things must be paid. Our senior has been quite sick again, and is hardly able to be out this week. Last Saturday was quite a lively day. A great many people were in tewfl &hd every body seemed in a powerful good humor. A young man in this city has had the courage to admit that he had no brains, but that his good looks kept him going. A rollicking feuian waS relieved of a ten dollar willie this week, by mayor Jones. Probe is complaining of dull business. At the colored festival last Saturday night, one blooiblttg colored damsel went for another with a stick. No. 2 received her in good Style, and considerable of a fight ensued. The weather has been quite cool this week. Billiards are having quite a run in our city.

The little trundle-bed stock have un to count the days and weeks before Christ mas. We think our night watch should be increased. One man is not enough. Our fighting editor is not in this week. Beligerent parties take notice. Our market is well supplied with pretty red apples. Our “devil” sftys the country must be “going to the dogs” because we are reduced to a choice for President between a type settkr and a West-PoiNTER. A prosperous merchant has for his mot to : “Early to bed, and early to rise, nev er get tight, and advertise.” To tell a falsehood is like the cut of a saber; for, though the wound may heal, the scar will remain. Notwithstanding the near approach of the fall elections, W 6 festive mosquito still gambols around at night. Many persons write articles and send them to an editor to be corrected—as if an editors office was a house of correction. The first appearance, for sometime, of aurora borealis was on Monday flight, about 7 o’clock. Young men and maidens ate arranging evening parties for fall and winter.
