As wo have rib large bank account io fall buck on, we cannot afford to 8ond hundreds of papers to r iom, Dick mid Harry, hoping to reap sometime in the '"‘sweat by and bye” *a pecuniary harvest from such individuals. Wo do not purpose sending out three or four hundred pap' i\s a week “on time” to people that we know nothing - bout and whom wo are not likely to see. For these reasons we shall en¬ deavor to do business on a., cash basis. When we get pay in ad¬ vance for subscription we know whore we’re "at. Each man who desires TitE News can better af¬ ford lo pay for it iii advance than Tan wo to send it to four or live hundiod people and wait from one year, and in some instances till doomsday, for our pay. To-day we send out to many subsciibers a circular letter. If you desire The News send us some money ; if we don’t hear from you iii a week v,e shall presumo that you do not want Bur paper, and we will not impose cm you by send¬ ing it to you.

Cleveland is spoken of frequently as the “first lady of the bind.” Doubtless there are thous- A lids of women in 11 le United States who are her superior intel- i ictuaily, her equal in refinement, rr.d v ho are much more useful, Vo every womMi an opportunity is yivmi to .occupy a more lofty jKwiiion tlsan that of “first lady of the land.” Ter action of tho II. & D. road in ( iff mg down tho wages of only th< employes who receive as inuc.t as $100 per month, and making tho greatest reduction in the salaries of those who were beat paid, is to be commended.

But of ail these convocation*? the in oh t important and remarkable m some fespeete, according to pur view, was the religious convention a^-.nWed thore • ^otnng x . of the kind has lion purred before, for hot at only tHiS the conven- were present rep- resentatives of the Various branches of t lie Protestant church v nit Catholics, JewSj Mormons, B ud d h i s t«, - Mohammedans, thv disciples of Confucius, of Zoroaster an d 0 f various other sects. .And the uniqueness of this assemblage was increased by the native cos- tumes worn by many of the delegates. Upon the same platform sat men- the representatives of beliefs differing as much or more than did their personal appearances, and yet all met on an equal foot- ing, and each expressed a fraternal love for the other delegates. The narrowness and , seMshhess c cre eds sank into insignificance when each one recognized the fact that h is associates weie honest men who were striving to attain to that which is good, though in vkrious ways. To have gazed upon this scene and heard the addresses of men of widely differing views, but all agreeing as to the brotherhood of man. am. an xepiessing a common love for that which is true and noble and for each other—to have soon and heard this must have caused some to think that the mil¬ lennium is at hand. For a lofig, long time it has been a source of sorrow to broiid-min- ded Christians to see the petty pp/.t-'q' jealously and lack of charity ex- py those professing to believe certain religion” creeds. The members of one church say plainly by actions, and some¬ times by words, “We only are right, and all others must be wrong.” But this convention marked an era of more liberality and more vital religion, and may result in much good. It showed to the world that the time has come when the more advanced thinkers among religious people have discarded many of the super- stitious notions and contracted views of former days, and by so doing have become more charitable and more useful. God speed the day when the Catholic and the Baptist, the PreS'- bvterian and the Universalist, the Methodist and tlie Buddhist, the Episcopalian and the Mohamme- dan may say, the one to the other, “My brother!” Col. J. AY. Kenfroe has been tendered the position of secretary of Alaska. The salary is not less than K',000, and it is thought that he will accept this place.

Habersham County. We, the grand jury empaneled for September term, 1803, of Haber- sham bupenor court, submit the following ... . presentments ...... \ Having through our various ec’ffihtit- tees examined the public affairs and public buildings of the bounty, we fiHd as follows: "> '“™ <™«l«- 1 ' the books ot ordinary, *, sheriff, clerk and treasurer. and flm tbe books and p{ ,^. rs of all the above officers kept in a neat and business way. The treasurer’s report shows a balance on hdfid of $1,899.20: the ordinary's, a balance of $29.00. We have examined the dockets of the notaries public and justices of the peace, hnd end them neatly and correctly kept. We have examined the court house and And it in a very good con- 'lition.witlbi Hie csception of some re- P“' rs m ' cdl f th ".’fft -lass needed in some of tne window sashes, and some of the blinds are missing. We have examined the jail and find that it is kept in a rathe** ’.thcleanly way; the floors need scrubbing and the flre •>"“** “<*« «>”“>•« »«• are a great many window panes broken out which need repair; also the bricRs at the window facing in front, of the cell have been removed from the wall 8hould be replaced. The jail needs whitewashing: the stove g pipe, where it . bolted u together t from the ■ ., to . is msiue the outside of the cage, should be cemented together tb prevent the smoke from filling the cells to the in¬ convenience of the prisoners. We find the sheriff guilty of criminal negligence in not looking after the jailer who, by his carelessness in leav- ing the doors open from tliecage to the street, allowed the two prisoners, Tims and Van Hughes, to escape; allowing the planks to be knocked off, leaving a way open for outsiders to furnish the p r j SO uers with whatever they desired; in not searching the pris oners eaeli **d every time they enter the jail, thereby letting them have kni ves, clubs, files and a pistol in their posession. We hereby censure the sheriff for al¬ lowing the above, and request tfie re- iiioval of the jailer. We have examined the paupers’ home and find it in good condition, with the exception of tile mill,which is in a bad condition, the timber being decajed. We do not think it will pay the coun¬ ty to repair it. We would suggest that a new mill be rebuilt when the lease of the tenant in possession expires. The roll of the mill for the past 15 months lifts been 3G5 bushels of corn. That it be left to the discretion of the ordinary whether lie continues to let out the pauper home as heretofore or to employ a superintendent at a stated salary and furnish the uiKiC to run the farm. That a graveyard be laid off near the Hazel Creek graveyard, of one or more acres, in the discertion of the ordinary, and that the bodies now buried on the farm be removed to said graveyard. There are now Being taken care of at the paupers’ farm 8 paupers. We, having examined the roads and bridges, find some in good condition; others, owing to the heavy tv'ins, are badly damaged. We recommend that the commissioners have them reworked and put in good order as soon as possi¬ ble. We find two bridges in Fair Play district in bad condition; one at the widow \\ aldr^ep’s and tlie other at the field of Mary Harris; also one Peep Creek, near G. W. Wheeler’s. We call attention o v the road commission- ers to the fact that the* have them repaired at once. We find some of the sills in the Clarkesville bridge decayed; also the rock pillar needs a sill on top of it to help support tbe bridge. We hereby instruct the ordinary to see that the above reccommendations in regard to road and bridges be carried out. We find that the ro.Kl and streets inside of the incorporation of Clarkes¬ ville are in a bad condition, and recom¬ mend the proper authorities to have them worked. We Yecommend the road starting at the cross road the other side of Gabe Sisks’, on the Clayton road, and run¬ ning about one mile across to the Clarkesville and Toccoa road, coming into the C. & T. road ne’ar the switch on the Blue Ridge & Atlantic railroad, be made a public road. We, having examined the insolvent list, find the following names we believe the money can be made out of: G. C. Boggs, John McAvoy, Sanford Purcell, Richard Thacker, J. W. Pruitt, Robert L.
