In view of tne fact that the Ex
ecutive Committee of the Demo
cratic parry in this County ha s
called a mass meeting of iheciti
zens to meet in Lawrenceville on
the first Tuesday in December for
the purpose of presenting to the
party a board of commissioners te
serve for the next four years, it is
imeumbent upon /he people to
look around for the moat suitable
men to manage «>wr financial and
County affairs.
As it is an office of responsibl ,
and laborious duties with but lit
tl e compensation it is hardly to
be presumed that it will be sought
after by any citizen and yet it will
demand for the next year at least
the services of an iuteliigen Boardt
who are willing to d evote theii
time to discharging its dudes
Tha uewoouri house is under con
<iac/ of construction to be finish
ed nex/ year and the new Beard
will be held responsible for the
proper completion of this impor
tant work according lo the speci
fications of the contract In ac
cepting or rejecting the buildin B r ,
questions may arise effecting the
mterest of every tax payer. Hence
it is iuipor a»t to hav e in ,h<
board men who fully understand
the terms aud specifications cf
of the contrac under which the
bouse is erec ed.
Ii therefore strikes us as good
policy 10 retain the preseDt Board
until this contract is completed,
if they are willing to serve. We
do not know that any of /hem are
wi 1 ng to act.
Wehavehetrd only one of the
old Board express himself upon
the subject and he is t ired es it,
but if they can be induced to
serve, we think i/ is to the inter
est of the county to retain them.
V Youthful Couple.
On last Thursday 6r’us Hall,
age d seventeen, and Lula Har
per, aged fourteen, were married
by Esq. Cole on the hill above the
old academy. The young couple
bad obtained the consent of theii
parents to the match, but the girl
had been raised by Jesse baucas
tei, with whom she lived at the
time, //is wife objected to th*
girl's mairying and died every
means in her power to prevent it.
Having obtained the conseut of
their parents there was no uifficul
ty in getting tbe license, and the
voting peop'e wera left to their
own ingenuity in consumating the
marriage.
Mr. Co)e bad been 1 otified to
meet them on the hill and the coop
le managed to evade the watchful
woman, slipped arcund through
he woods and met the ./ustice
with a erowd of town ooys on the
hill, where the ceremony was per
formed. The marriage over tbe
crowd marched down the stree.
singing: ‘‘Behold the Bride
groom, for he comes."

EDrroit Herald.—l am icw i
the land of “Flowers,” I thought
8 few hints “by the way,” would
be imeres ing to your readers.
We left home on 15th ult., in
company with W JMi nor, Thos.
Sea gar and a few “frenchmea,”
and made the trip through with a
drove of horses. Onr route was
from home to Ocoee, Florida via
Macon, Valdosta, (in Ga ) Jasper
Lake City, Gaiuesville Ocola, (in
Florida) to Ocoee. We all arrived
at home safe and sound having
gained a few pounds of flesh, .i/r.
Minor s slock look well, not one of
them hurt or even look jaded by
the long trip. The country from
*' winuett Co. to Macon is so near
like h >me in soil, surface and im
provements. a t ascription is un
necessary. From Alacon to the
Florida line the country is almost
level, soil of a dark gray loam cov
ered with long leafed pines. This
section of tfa. we think destine
some day to be n great agricu’tura)
country, i s now devoted to the
Lumber and Turpentine industries
The few farmers we see seem to be
poor but are out of debt and have
plenty to go on for another year.
It waß not until we got near the
1 h-rida line that we had the pleas
ure of seeing that ever liviug, ev
er growing, the most magnificent
■ree of Amrneriea. around which
clusters the greatest “boom” per
haps ever raised in any statt.
Tfiie orange tr e aloue would
make South Florida a great coun
ty. From Gainesville Sou'h
to Bartow may be considered the
orange belt. Within this bound
ary I find some as fine groves as
one could wsu to see ; vaiying
in size from five to fifty acres. The
countiy around C coee, the home
of our fr iends from Gwinnett, is
certainly very desirable. I find
all exceedingly well pleased. The
lamt on South Apopka is fast com
ing to notice, they will doublb
their value every three years, at.
the present advance in unim
proved lands.
This beautiful lake regiou de
mands more than a passing notice
and I will in a future let'er give
von a full decnj.ition.
Respectfully.

IN MEMORIUM.
AIISS EFFIE H. DYER —lt is
our painful duty to record the
death of our much loved sister and
Sunday School worker. She was
indeed a bright and lovely girl.
The cold, icy hand of death stole
wiihin that pleasant family circle
and severed the go'den link which
bound them. There never lived
a more devoted and affectionate
daughter. .She was dearly loved
by all her associates and acquaint
ances.
He it resolved therefore, by the
members of Hebron and Pleasant
/fill Sabbath Schools. That in the
death of our dear c'ussmste, wt
nave loit and honored, efficien
and faithful member, whose spirit
and e xample were a benedecticn
and inspiration to us in our work
2nd, TTiat while we deeply de
plore her death, we bow with sub
mission to the will of Him, whose
we are and whom we serve, ever
i herishing her memory as a pre
cious legacy.
3id, That we extend to the be
reaved family the strongest assur
ance of eur sympathy and prayer,
and that a copy of this be sent to
them and also to die Gwinnett
