Mu. Editor: —There appears to be some
dissatisfaction in regard to the reduction of
the jury fees in this county, which was done
by a Bill introduced by myself in the last
Legitlaturc. And it appears that the Inde
pendent candidate for Representative, and
ids friends are disposed to try to make
some political capital out of this and charge
tl e unpopularity oi the measure upon my
sclf. I did not get up the bill at my own
instance, but by a recomendation of the
grand jury of this county, signed by all the
members of that body representing every
part of the county, and Mr. O. C. Slurman
was a member of that grand jury himself-
In doing tliis I only acted as a public
servant endeavoring to accomplish the wish
es ot the people ot Upson, as expressed by
their grand jury. Will any candid and fair
minded man censure me for this? Suppose
that I bad not introduced the bill and de
feated it by keeping it in my pocket, thinking
that it might affect my popularity in the fu
tn re, certainly I would li..ve been most se
verely censured. Certainly no gentleman,
we’! acquainted with the taels, will attach
auv blame to myself, for the passage of
ii at t'irt. John W. Brown.
A Sweet and Touching Inc dent. —
Toe following incident which we find in the
Macon T elegrapli is truly heau:i,'.i! and
should lead all parents who read it to give
c’oser attention to the training of their chil
dren, as regards their deportment a< c' u .cli
and i'ie:r uxerence for holy tilings. How
sc,deni we se e such :
“On Sabbat it morning, during the servi
ces 'd the rector, Rev. Root. F Jackson, til
St. Paul's church two beautiful children,
aged apparently four and six years, ami ev
idently brotliei and sister, drew down rpon
them the attention ot the entire conmcga
tion. The eldest, tbe boy, was a splendid
little teMow, dressed in a neatly fitting
brown suit, while tlia petite girl looked d!;e
a verv elf in her while skirt and brown
cloak, with a jaunty little Leghorn hat trim
med with brown ribbon on her head.
T ie two w dked lightlv up the aisle al
mo t to the char, and, turning into an emp
tv p*w. inclined their little heads for a halt
nunote in silent player, Ylien gave the clos
es; .-it tent ion to die se mo.i throughout.
NcV'-i w s there beheld a more beautiful
exr.tr le of in fan die <? race and devotion, and
i: c certain that these children are order
Godly influence*, and are faithfully taught

DR. .T. C. DRAKE PROPOSED BY A HARRIS
COUNTY MAN AND NOMINATED BY
ACCLAMATION.
Tiie delegates ot Harris. Talbot and Up
sun met in Talbotton on Thursday last, ac
cording lo appointment and on motion, Mr.
T. J. Willis was elected chairman and au
thorized to appoint an executive committee
of three from each county. The name of
Dr. Jno. C. Drake was proposed by Mr,
Blount, of Tarns, and he was then nomi
nalby acchimation. The chair then ap
pointed Messrs. T. J. Neal, W. S. Ol'plnnt
and Dr. W 11. Philpot a committee to in
form Dr. Drake of bis nomination and in
vite him before the convention. The Dr .
soon appeared and accepted the same and
made the convention a brief but pointed ami
ve y appropriate addiess in his usual, hap
py style. The chair then appointed an ex
ecutive committee consisting of J. M. Math
ews, Henry Persons. J. F. Little, Hall
Mass, T. J. Neal. II C. Cameron, W. 8
Olinhant, T. S. Sharman and A, J. Cheney
and each member was authorized to appoint
altcternatcs.
Mr. Rod Leonard then moved to do away
with the rotation system in this district
but bis motion was laid on the table. The
convention then adjourned sine die. There
is no opposition to Dr. Drake now and we
hope thera will be none. Glad to see that
the good citizens of Harris who were in
the coevention were willing to unite with
Talbot and do justice to old Upson. We
felt satisfied all the time that the delegates
ot Harris would do the clean thing. So
they have and we now reassure them that
they will never have cause to regret the
choice ilioy have voluntarily made. They
hare nominated a man— oue who will ever
be trua to principles and his constituency.
But enough. The Dr. is too well known
tor any further comment from our pen.
We only hope that he will be elected as he
was nominated—that is without any oppo
sition.
Do You Belieok It?—A friend furnish
os us with ‘he following story at the expense
of one of die justices of the peace. A tew
night? ago the wife of the Squire was arous
ed a found sleep by a stern voice
shouting:
“Are you ready for trial, I say?”
“Hush ! Don’t make a noise, or else
ycu’H wake tlie baby.” she replied endow*-
oring to soothe him.
“Don t ta'k beck to tliis court.” lie v -.ciT—
erated. “If you’ve got any witnesses, bri g
’em on, but let your lawyer do the alk! >g.”
“Why, how you take on ! What is Tie
matter ?”
“I send you up for sixty days—that’s
wcat’s the natter. Mr. Constable, take her
away. >ow I m ready for that petty larce
ny case Bring up the prisoners.”
And jumping out of bed, he started to
ward tlie next room to summon a jury, but
fell oyer a rocking-chair, barking his shins,
woke up, and asked his wife what the devil
was the matter, anyhow.
Murdered. —Last Friday alternoon oue
ot the most outrageous and shocking mur
ders was perpetrated in this county. Mr,
P. F. Ballard, who lived near Zebulon had
been to Barnesville with a wagon load of
co.ton. He had sold the cotton and
returning home. \\ hile driving the team
along tbe road two negro men, asked him
to Jet them ride. He replied in the affirma
tive and told them to get in. When they
had rode beyond Sir. Leaks residence some
tour miles of Zebulon one ot the negroes
placed a pistol behind Mr. Ballards head,
and fired it. T lie hall entered the back part
ot the head and came out between the eyes,
o\ r er the nose. The negroes then attempt
ed to rob Mr. Ballard, but they were so
atraid that someone would overtake them
that they fled without even obtaining a
Cent of his money. Mr. Ballard was con
scious enough to drive to the negro house
just ahead. He gave his pocket book and
money to the negro and narrated the facts
as above to the negro. Mr. Ballard did not
know the negroes who murdered him Dr
Green ol Zebulon was sent tor at the earliest
moment, but could do nothing to relieve
the brutally wounded man, who lived till
Saturday morning and then died. Gazette,
We understand that Mr. W. P. Bussey',
of Barnesville, who was sent after the ne
gro, caught him up above Atlanta yestcr
terday. He had to shoot him before ho
would be arrested. His name is Ed Childs
and lie once lived near hero and is oerhaps
known to many of our citizens.
Many of he . tlvraates of MPlogeville a c
emleavoriua to create a fdse impression on
the minds of the people otihe S.ate, i-i a it
i-'g riiai ihere i- do reliar.ee to be placed in

aria l.- refer.ed to succestullv spines the big
g us of ,11 ilt.* opponents ot Atlanta on these
ooiuts. Atlanta couhl hot. it she would, i

(Aery particular, with her so'euin promise
to the people, if selected by them as the per
irnnont capital ot Georgia, and a clause In
’he new constitution, as wid be seen from
the article we publish, gives her the power
to m ike the appropriation necessary lor,lie
erec.jon ot a ctpitol building within die
I n its ot the city. The piopcsition of At
lanta is fair, libenil, and jiiit, and if accept
ed by the people of Geoigia. will prove ti e
most econombal and 1 est choice that could
he made by them. Besides being the most
most eligible point for the location of the
eadital, in Hie selection ot Atlanta the pe>r
pie of Geoigia secure the erection of a
NEW CAPITOL
building without the expenditure of a cer.i
while if Milled Seville he selected, they will
have nothing but the old capital badly out
of repair, deficient and inadequate in many
particulars to the wants of the State.
If the capilol is located at Alfunta, it will
cost the State nothing, but she can sell ti e
two capitols she now has, and pat the mon
ey in the treasury. If it is carried to Mil
ledgeville, it will cost over one hundred
thousand dollars to fix up the old building
and pay for the removal—besides that, the
State will lose 1 lie building in this cit} r , as it
reverts if the Capitol is removed. It is not
only the interest of the tax-payer to keep
the eapitol at Atlanta, but it is far more
convenient and desirable to every citizen of
the State, except those who are personally
interested in its removal.
ANNOUNCEMENT.
To the Voters of Upson county:
At the last election for a representative to
the General Assembly foui this eounty', my
name was used, and I voted t\r by a num
her of my friends* as on Independent candi

I ti ad gone into the nomination and would
abide its results, but that I would lie a can
didate before the people at the next election
for that office; That time has comeandl now
oiler myself as a candidate before the whole
people lor your next Representative. My
record in public life, as a servant of the peo
ple is known to the citizens ot Upson and I
am not ashamed of it, but willing fo endorse

victions anywhere. If you sec proper to
elect me, I will be zealous to do you all the
good 1 cau, and cautious that I do you no
harm. I respectfully solicit your support.
