W J Johnson has moved into his new parlor store, *hieh is now complete, tasty and shiny. The rain from ♦he nor th this week was suggesdve of the ap¬ proaching gloom of ice crested win¬ ter.

This Sept, 23,1885. Mrs. W A Andeison. A series of services will begin to-night (Thuisday) at the Metho¬ dist church. All are invited to attend. We call for help upon all Christians who see the great need of a thorough genuine revival religion in our town. Gcd is will¬ ing to bless us—are we ready to accept His compassionate offer of salvation. There are many pre¬ cious souls to be saved and many believers who are in need of quick¬ ening. This being true, we cannot afford to be indifferent. The North Georgi Association held a very harmonious session at Cool Spring latt week. The at' teendance was large and the meas tires discussed of interest to all whose ptivilege it was to attend. The Sunday services wera rained out which was probably advanta¬ geous to the cause. God ha been peculiarly lavorable to His chil¬ dren this year m sending rain on Sunday of our camp meetings and assodiation. Thus thwarting the circus and parade devotees. A synoptical review of the most important cases tried at the Au¬ gust term of the superior court , will be found below: Charles H Mitchell vs Cecilia E Mitchell, divorce; first verdict. Jacob Moody vs David White , verdict for defendant. Thomas Lowery vs Margaret Lowery, divorce; first verdict The State vs Samuel Dean, aim larceuj: ■verviict Oi guiltyf The State vs John Oockburn, Bastardy, verdict of not guilty. The State vs Jack iVhite, mis¬ demeanor, verdict of guilty. The State V3 James Greer, lar¬ ceny from the house; verdict of guilty. Tnc State vs Jut]son Galt, mis¬ demeanor; verdict of guilty The State vs James Ridley, dis¬ turbing public worship; verdict of not guilty. The State vs Judson Galt, as sualt with intent to murder, ver¬ dict guilty of an assault. Fannie Johnson vs Dan’l John son, divorce, second verdict. Lizzie Bing vs Andrew Bing, divorce; second verdict. There are a great many cases on the docket that were not ready for trial at the above term of court. Eugene W Beck, the Clayton, Ga., wife murderer was taken from his cell in the Gainesville .jail the other day and carried to the town in which the murder was commit¬ ted to stand his trial. After look¬ ing upon the ghastly form of his lovely wife, Beck craved death, but now since the passing of a num¬ ber ot months, he is content to live. He declares if his life is spared he will reiorm. The insan ity dodge will De resorted to by his counsel who are very able law¬ yers. This case gives a frightful picture of what whisky will do for a hitherto happy home. The hus¬ band sips the poisonous cup until uatural affection is destjoyed, his brain set on fire from hell's sul¬ phurous fountain, his manhood a wreck, his hopes blighted, and then with the fury of a devil incarnate he cruelly murders the wife of his bosom and mocks at the outpour¬ ing of her heart's blood. Our blood chills at the indescribable scene and we turn away and lilt our voice to other men who drink the cursed stuff and plead with them to desist and profit by the example of Eugene Beck, lest, a calamity as dire in some moment oi' intoxica tionovertake you. Prohibition in Murray, The liquor question is being more universally discussed at the pres¬ ent than ever before, not only in our own state, but in the different states and most all the civilized countrb s of the world- From ages of experience humanity has learned that intoxicating drink has sent more curses upon the people than a hundred other evils combined, consequently the good citizens of each country aro uniting in the struggle to thrust the destructive monster from their midst and save the next generation from its ma levolent influences. We do not have to ask our readers to visit some foieign place and there close ly examine the effects of prohibi tion, and then say whether it has a beneficial tendency or not. But let us only inspect the records of our own county during the past two years, or sinco the legal sale of whisky has been voted out, and we will find ourselves forced to the conclusion that prohibiton has proved to be vastly to the in¬ terest of the people, socially mor¬ ally religiously and financially. It is tme that prohibition ia Murray has not been entirely successful in stoppping the sales of whisky among our people for like all oth¬ er laws this has its violators. Our laws against murder do not total¬ ly prevent this worst of crimes, but only serve as a great protec¬ tion to the lives of our people, and the more rigid our judiciary is in executing these laws, just in that proportion will they suppress the commission of the crime. We in Murray county, have prohibition and it is the duty of al. good citi¬ zens who feel an interest in the morals of the county, to do all in their power to enforce the prohi¬ bition laws and thereby stop the eale of whisky in our midst. We believe that whisky has been con¬ stantly sold in our town dur.ng the past year, in the face of the courts and the law, and now the people have become tired of this pest, and all law abiding citizens are anxious to see it suppiessed. In our opinion a man can engage in nothing that will bring more dis tressing scenes on the community in which he moves, than selling whisky, even if it were recognized i by the laws of the land. How shall this imposition on society be endured? Willjtke parents of this country allow tne characters of their children ruined, and their fu¬ ture blighted on account of the sale and distribution of poisonous red liquor, when they might by simply acting in accordance with the dictates ot duty have it imme dial ely suppressed? If you have an old craving, hankering appetite for strong drink which you think beyond your control and must be satiated at the risk of health and hell, steal away at the silent hours of night and procure from him who is engaged in propagating crimes and crushing intellects, that Plu¬ tonic potion, and suicide your life and soul secretly; and while thus engaged in self murder be sure and close your doors m order that your example may not be seen, nor your influence felt beyond your own hearth-stone. We hope that the people may become so thoroughly awake on this subject that a grog shop or tippling room, neither public nor secret, cau be found in the state of Georgia. Then will the people have gained a victory for which humanity and posterity will unite in chanling a chorus of glory and gladness. New lot of buggies arrived at T A & S E Berry‘s.
