The grand jury of Hancock conn

legislature to have a local option law
passed for that county, giving as a
reason the many violations of law
that grow ont of the sale and use of
liquor.
It is proposed to print in some
newspaper in each county, the names
of those persons on the pension list
who live in that county. It is a good
idea, and will serve to expose those
who are fraudulently drawing funds
from the federal treasury.
lirifflii Society.
The first number of the Georgia Demo
crat appeared on Saturday, and in it wa9
a “word of explanation” that should effect
ually silence those envious rival communi
ties whose organs have taken so much
pleasure in occasionally dilating upon
“Griffin lawlessness,” as they choose to
denominate those few out-of thc-way inci
dents which will always occur in a live
community. The editor, Mr. Bearce, of
Maine, takes it for granted that the public
would feel e natural curiosity as to his oh
ject in starting anew paper in a place al
ready fully supplied with newspapers, and
in explaining it pays a graceful and well
deserved tribute to Griffin society by say
ing:
“We might have done better in some re
spects, in a small place unrepresented by a
newspaper, but we prefer to locate in a
larger and older community, where we can
enjoy those moral, socle I and other advan
tages to which we have been accustomed
most of our years since boyhood, und
without which life is not life, and is a poor !
enough thing indeed.”
While yet a boy, Mr. Bearce had been
in this country, and in his short stay here
had formed an attachment “for this state
and some of its people which was found
too strong to be easily severed, and drew
him stronger and sponger as the years
passed away,' until finally it has drawn
him down here to once more enjoy moral
advantages. It is thus that we are vindivi
yatcu 0 y rumaii new n-ngiuuu irom tnc !
Puritanic attacks made upon us by Editor i
Waterman, Marcellus E. Thornton, and
other misinformed and misguided persons.
When the moral sentiment of a commu
nity is felt thousands of miles away, from !
the pincy woods and red hills of Georgia j
to the frozen Penobscot and the turbid j
waters of the Umbagog, it ill behooves the |
small-minded pigmies who live around the !
base of this moral elevation to cast their
ineffectual missiles at the moral giants who ;
dwell on the apex thereof. Indeed, these \
words in a broader sense may be consider- j
ed as a rebuke to our contemporary of the j
Sun, who is so given to flings at the poli- I
ties of Georgia and diatribes on the excel- I
lent men who so ably rule the state. !
Surely, in a place which draws virtue to
ward it as the pole draws the needle, the
editor of the Sun can have no opportunity i
to know those iniquitous political practices
of which it speaks so glibly.
The refinements and advantages of j
Griffin society are great, and we hope that, j
•once these are Mr. Bearce’s main reasons i
in locating here, he may enjoy much of j
them and the contact prove of mutual j
benefit.
The above editorial appeared in
the Griffin News of the I4tli instant.
We publish it in full because we pre

any one whom we oppose, and also
because it is a literary curiosity,
which the intelligent readers of the
Advertiser will enjoy.
Passing by the ridiculous—not to
say ludicrous—features of the News’
editorial, we desire to say that it
misrepresents us. We have not
