Frightened to Death.
We learn that on the night of the 0th
inst, a party of men armed with clubs,
pistols, a sufficient amount of iiqu<>r and
unlawfulness) went to tiie house of J. W.
Southern, who lives about 15 miles East
of this place, near the Franklin gold
mines, with the intention of "thrashing
Southern,” but was prevented from do*
ing so only by the sad srquel of the trag
edy which we give below. Mr. Jenkins,
of Atlanta, the father-in law of Southern
was visiting Southern and was in his
room at the time the parties came to the
house, upon hearing the loud aDd bois
terous talking and threats, cocking of
pistols, and shouts for Southern to come
out lie was so badly excited and scared
that he at once dropped to the floor
dead. The parties was then prevailed
upon to leave as they had sea e 1 to dei.th
Mr. Jenkins. His remains were dicsscd
and put. away in the earth on last Tues
day . Ouo ot the party has since been
arrested, four others are known, but we
will not now give ther names. The cit
izens in that part of the county are quite
indignant at this cruel outrage and were
in hot pursuit of the parties when last
heard from. We sympathies with the
bereaved ones; and triMt that the guilty
parties may soon be arrested and justly
dealt with.
GENERAL PIIE.HEN TM EN T8
OF liRAND JURY. AU
GUST TERM 1880.
We the Grand Jury .or tiie August
Term, 1880, of « In rwkee 8up< ri< r Court,'

Presentments: ^
County Officers,
We have examined the record* and
Imoks of tiie Ordinary and find them

ment of the nidi btcdiHsa of In* county
to date as follows:
Our new di bt on g. neml fund $915.05

aud oilier expenses,
$709 00,
Total
99.018 05.5
The above Mu en.entcovers the indeht-
nine s ot die county to this date, and
Glows a sun. I lei debt than our county lias
ever earned for any previous yearn, the
same date, and by doubling this amount
it will cover die debt accruing for the
present year, unless it Incomes necessary
to erect some public wo ks or bridg s of
which v:u are not now apprised.
Sheriff andClf.uk
T lie offices and books of the Sheiitf
and c Ink are neatly and properly kept.

with proper vouchers:

Leaving a balance on hand of |7.96
Tax Receiver.
We Imye examined tl.e Tax Reclever’s
Digest and find it ueatly kept. There
an parties who have, in our judgment,
given in their property far below its val
ue, and we have made suck changes in
the asscsmenls as in our judgment we
thought proper.
Tax Collector.
The Tax Collector's books show that
he lias faithfully collected and accounted
for all taxes. '
Ju ticks and Notaries.
We have examined the dockets ot the
Siveial Justices of the Peace and Notaries
Public, an.) find them not ail kept ac
cording to the requirements of the law.
PuiLic Loads and Bridges.
We find die roads in many portions of
the county poorly worked, and in many
places not been worked since last spring.
We are well aware that the roads have
been in bad condition to yrork until very
recently. We are uwureth.it a general
recommendation to have the roads work
ed lias not proven to be a good one, and
we recommend the commissioners of each
Militia District where Sheir roads are not
well worked, to call their oveJseeis to
gether at once and levy a fine upon each
overseer who lias not worked his road
properly; but to give them a resonable
time to work them, with the understand
n.g that the fine will be remitted provid
ed they work the roads within the time
allowed them.
We recommend our Ordinary to have
the necessary repairs made on the bridge
known as Hawkins' bridge, across Little
river, as it is now considered unsafe, and
also all the necessary repairs made on all
the public buildings in tbe county.
We recommend tbe Ordinary to build
a bridge across Shoal creek at or near
Donaldson's old furnace, as soon as in
his judgment the finances of the county
will justify it.
Pujjlic Buildings
We find the public buildings gome-
what out of repair.
We recommend one large iron cell
built in the south end of the jail house,
on the second floor, aud two windows
put in ti e same room, one on the east
side and one on the west side for ventilat
ing the cell; and a n w shingle root on
the jail of good heart shingles. And we
also recommend that the gutters, valleys
and saddling of the court house be paint
ed, and all the leaks in the rooi stopped,
and the chimney heads lepaired, and that
the plastering inside the court house be
repaired.
The committee appointed by this body
to inspect the convict camp in this coun
ty, uuder the charge of the M. A N. Ga*
R. R. Company, report that the enmp is
in good coddition, and well managed.
The quarters are pleasantly and con fort’
ably located and arranged. The convicts
are healthy and stout tanking men, and
have the appearance uf bt inf well flOj
for and humanely treated, nnd the c«H»
victs tfarmselves testify to the same. Th#
convicts are in fine spirits. Working wtll

ing rapidly towards Jasper We cog^
mend the z-nl. the < ff >rts nnd the untfr*

We arc pained to chronicle tho death
of one of our most respected and honor*
id citiz us after a lingering but not
paluful sickness of some months. JuotS
Jas. O. Dowda, who died at his home in
Canton ou the night of the 18th ioft.
His remaius were intern! iu the citizen’s
cemetery at this place Sunday morning.
Prayer was offered up by Dr. Parker.
Judge Dowda was horn in IredeU
county, N. C., in the year 1995, and la
1848 moved to this county, where be hit
, vi r suMjeJUved, loved and . honored by
all. who knew him; he having Ailed
unity positions of honor and trust in th!|
county, nnd always satisfactorily to the
people. "J, never heard anyone sty-
naught against Judge Dowda," Is prow
erbinl hero w here ho has for se many
year* lived No one was ever freer of
envy, malice, hatred and* uncharitable-
ness than was Judge Dowds, but instead
it was bis duty, aB he supposed, to quell
all tbe envy, malice and batted that
might arise in others. None wee more
charitable, generous or public spirited
than he. Judge Dowda was one of the
best posted men in the Bible. His illuf*
tuitions were drawn from the remember
ed. bright aud sacred poetry of Job and
David, the wisdom ot Holomcn, and the
prophetic inspirations of Ezekiel and
Isaiah—in word a from the Bible—which
made him uusually interesting in con-*
versation.
But the indulgent and fond father, the
devoted husband, the kind neighbor
nnd the public spirited citizen is gono
from r.mong us. The voice of censure or
praise is the same to him who lies in yon*
der churcli yard in his narrow home—
the cold und silent grave. We feci as
sured that he has recovered his wasted
strength . nd refreshed his fatigued fac
ulties in the balmy breeze ot Ilenvec'l
happy home. We tender our sincere
condolence to the widow, the fatherless,
relatives and friends, trusting that when
they and we too come to die, wc can bg
as fully assured of meeting our God w
was the man whom all loved, Judge
Dowda. May he rest, sweetly rest, who
could hut exclaim—
"By Thee, thro’ life supported,
I pass the dung’rous road;
With heavenly hosts escorted
Up to that bright abode.”
Cumin unreal ion.
Editor Advance : Amid tho cxcite«M
meat and anxiety over the approaching
• ret ions for President, .Congressmen,
Gove-nor and other State officos, the im-
po dance of selecting competent men to

in » great measure lost sight of. We erf
glad however, to see that the trends of
Capt. T. N. Dulaney have suggestedhl«
candidacy for Tax Receiver. HU elet*
tics will give entire satisfaction to the
