Onr County Eleetiou
\V edo not remember tp have
seen a more active campaign for
the several county offices than has
been going on for the last mon>h,
especially for Tax Collector and
Receiver and County Treasury
2’here is not a nook or corner, no
matter how remote, but what the
anxiogs aspirant has found Lis
way to it. If then is a man in
tne county who has not beeD elec,
rioneered with, he must be in jail
or kid sj far back in a dark cor
ner that he could net be found
with a search warrant.
As this is our last regular issue
ihai vviJl reach ihe people, before
the election, we present below a
list of the candidates. As there
nas been no nomination made for
any office by the Democratic party,
the Herald has taken no stand
for any one but bus sought to deal
perfectly impartial and give them
a 1 a fair chance by presenting
their claims to the people and
if such a i Ling was possible would
like to see them all e ected and
happy. Many of ihem will be dis
appointed and we always feel s„r
ry for a man who has sethis heart
on being elected, spent Lis time
and money and then realizes’ that
lie has been beat. If he has been
fairly beaten he has no right :o
complain, and may console him
self with the reflection that in pop
ulav elections tlio best maj is not
always the most successful, an liun
dred circumstances enter into the
race that control the votes of the
people, and sometimes a very small
thing—a false rumor or a misap
prehension will turn the scale.

A Sad Death
A BOT CRUSHED TO DEATH BEFORE
HIS FATHEB.
Ou last Saturday was a week,
Mr A W Miles, who lives on the
plantation of Clarence L Hutchins
on the Chattahoochee, was build
ing a corn crib with logs. He
and his older son were putting
the logs up as they were notened.
his younger son, a bey about thir
teen, was standing by Ihe side of
tie crib. They had liuished the
wall except the top log and had it
up on lop and attempted to roll it
over so as to make it tit in the
notch cut in the Lg below. In
tuining it over they lost eon/rol of
it. and instead of stopping at the
right place, it rolled entirely off
and fell square Iv upon the head
and shoulders of his son standing
below. The log was heavy and
falling a considerable distance, it
crushed his skull and 1 roke the
collar bsne. They hurried to him
at once and carrio 1 him to the
house and posted a messenger to
Suwannee afier Dr Harr’s. The
child’s sufferings were|terrib!e and
he lived only half an hour.
Who can imagine the feelings of
the father and hi other as they
saw this heavy log go crushing
down upon the little boy who
was innocently standing there ut
terly unconscious of danger ?
A Candidaice Misfortune
Mr J T Baxter was out canvass
ing the lower part of Gwinnett
last week and started to cross
Yellow River at Holts old mills.
His horse became frightened at a
hole in the bridge and backed the
the buggy off the abutment. Mr.
Baxter just had time to jump out
as the buggy and horse wen' over
falling about ten feet. The hone
la ided in the buggy, smashing i>
up badly. Mr Baxter extricated
him as soon as possible, thinking
he was badly huri, bui while be
was attempting to get bis buggy
pulled out he looked and the horse
was quietly making bis dinner ofl
the leaves of a bush to waich he
was tied, utterly careless of the
wreck he had made.
Editor of the Herald.
Your correspondent “Gwinnett"
in your last issue is ignorant of
the duties of the CouLty Commis
sioners .
He leaches the fa se doctrine tha'
“they have power to regulate our
public schools.”
That board has no more to do
with the public schooli as a board
than they have over the Inaugura.
tion of the President,
He must be some small Peda
gogue from the backwoods who
needs to be taught rather than to
teach.
An act was passed in 1872 pro
vidiug for the election of a beard
of County Commissioners for this
County,to be elected by the people,
they to have Juiiediction over
"Road and Revenues, the public
property, paupers of the Co untv
finaiioies. This is the extent of
i heir authority.
I wi 1 try to en'ighten him furtb
er by staling that the Cede pro
vides Lr a “Board of Education’
in ea.h County, elected by the
Grand Jury, and iu connection
with the “County School Commie
sioner” appointed by them have
sole jurisdiction over public
Schools. They at all times are
subject to the State School Commis
siou, iu all cases not deticed by the
law.
A man writing fora newspaper
to go before tne people ough' to
know what he is talking about.
While your correspondent shows
his ignorance, he also shows that
he is a demagogue on a small pat
'ern in trying to prejudice the
poorer class against those that
may be better off, and the country
against the towns. The Public
School System makes to distinc
ion between the poor and the
rich; iu the towns or in the coun
try, and white I tun not connected
with the Board of Education iu
any way I give them credit for do
ing thei' - duty to the best of tbeir
ability so far a s I know and so far
as I have heard, except the sense
less complaints of yoor aforsaid
correspondent.

In calling the attention of the trade of Gwiimtt and Walton Counties to our Fall and Winter *>tock, we ela
sire to saythat we have changed our store, [moving next door to the old stand | and now have one of the largest
and best arranged houses in Lawrcnceville. Having a goodroom forstorag-e of goods, we have takenspecial paias
in selecting them lor the trade, and are satisfied that we have as good or better line, of every thing kept in a Qaa
eral Store, as has ever been shown to the people of Gwinnett and Walton bounties. Realizing that the
crop is short, and knowing that the people are bound tohave low prices in order to be able to buy, we have
marked our Prices AWAY DOWN, and ask a careful inspection of our stock before buying elsewhere,feeling
assured that wee in save you money.
To our customers that we have extended time to, in or der to enable them to make crops, we ask that theyaoma
to ward promptly »nd make settlement!-, so as to enable us to extend them credit another year, as we believe next
year, will see money matters tighter than they lraVebcen this season.
- From this date our rule will be strictly CASH until tbe first of January next, When we will be able to sell on time as herttefere.—
We are not adopting theCASH SYSTEM, as we know our people are not yet able to pay as they go, and we haven’t the “CHEEK.” te ask
them to come and spend their money with us in tbe Fall, and in the Summer refuse to sell them the necessities of life.
In asking the trade this Fall we call attention to
DRESS GOODS.
In this department we have bought largely this season, an 4 can show the ladies the lates’ styles ami something to charm the eye
every time Our stock of these goods is not a half dozen pieces, but is fall and complete, and we are confident we can please every ra*

These goods are changing all the time, in style Our stock ii /VA’W, md embraces all the latest designs.
FLANNELS LINSEYS & PLAIDS,
Our line of these goods is full, and you will find iu it everything from the cheapest, to the best Twill, Opera and Basket goods. la
Notions and Oents famishing goods we ask a careful inspection, as we know we have something here that you won’t find elsewhere.
JEANS AND CASIMERS
We have a hundred pieces of these goods in the house of different grades, bought at the lowest prices, and we believe that we eaa turn
down any competition in this town on prices, as we propose to sell them at a BA R.GAIN-
This department is one of our special’ies, and we have no hesitancy in saying that we lead the FIELD, and a eareful exaaaiaatiea of
his stock will convince any on# (hat we can suit them in any style of BOOT or SHOE that they may want, and can save the a aeaejr eves
,er ATLANTA PRICES.
Hats and CaPs
We hav© double the amouut of these goods ot any other house iu town, And all we have to do, is to show them, to satisfy customers that
ihey have been bought LOW and WILL BE SOLD THE SAME WAY. ’
Our line of Ticking, Bleaching, Sheetings, Shirtings, Sea I sis nits and Checks, is immense for this town, and we wtll make U to yoor IS
erest to look through them before buying ‘ , , , . , . , «. .
