The history of this country offers no parallel to the scenes enacted yes terday throughout the south. In every city and town the great hearts of a loving people throbbed responsive to the sol) of mntHed drum and the subdued strains of mournful music. From Hattcras to the Ivio Grande; from the shrouded peaks of the Allc- gbanies to the coral reefs of Key West, the emblems of mourning fluttered alike from post and lintel of the humble, and pillar and dome of the mansion The banker left his counting room ; the merchant closed his crape-covered doors; the artisan laid aside the tools of his trade ; the husbandman left his plough in the furrow; the minister came from the seclusion of his study ; the professional man laid aside his work ; the school children and college students abandoned their tasks, and all came to join the long procession that formed to do honor to departed greatness.* Here in Atlanta, the proud capital of the state, there was a wondrous mixture of the pomp and splendor of uniformed men and the serried ranks of the great democracy of the people. It was a pageant without a parallel, a scene that will be repeated at no other time. Even the most unsympathtlc heart could hut be thrilled by the spectacle of that long line of veterans, many of them hobbling along from the ellect of unhealed wounds, hearing on their battle-scarred bosoms badges of mourning deep and sincere, and with bowed heads and downcast eyes marching toward Georgia’s enpitol to do honor to the dead hero; There were tears, mute tears, more eloquent than the riotous cheers and thunderous applause of the multi tude that greeted the Grand Old Man when last he was borne in triumph along these same thronged thorough fares. A sentiment of chivalrous patriot ism that, like purest gold, grows only the brighter through the friction of passing yea 's, animated the hearts of these war worn soldiers who are them selves marching down the hill of life to join their dead commander. But not alone did they come, but in their train marched their children and their children’s children, from the strong armed youth to the pratt ling school girl, taught thus early to pay tribute to the man who, in death lives in the hearts of a great and gen erous, people.—Constitution. Augusta and West Florida Rail road. In an interview with Mr, Robert Bearden, one of the directors of the above projected railroad, yester day, he informs us that he is in receipt of a letter Irom president Smith, questing him to attend a meeting of the stockholders at Augusta, (with as much stock properly signed up as possible) on the 31st of this month, for the purpose of perfecting a permanent organization of the officers of the road, and also stating that ac tive work on the road would be begun in January. This road seems to be an assured thing, and our people are to be congratulated on having another, if not two, outlets in the near future. Impressive Words. The following impressive words uttered by Bishop'Gallaher, as Mr. Davis was being lowered into the tomb: In the name of God, amen, we here consign the body of JelFerson Davis, servant of his state ami country, and soldier in her armies, sometime a member of congress and senator irom Grand Jury Presentments. We. tin grand jurors selected am jsv.oru for the October ami Ocfohei adjourm-d term 18811, of the Siiperioi court of Thomas county, Georgia, beg to submit the following genera! pre sentments : We congratulate our people upon the excellent standard of morals which we find to exist, throughout the county—which situation of aflatrs has been brought about by the efficiency of both the judicial and executive officers ol the, court, and we take this method of extending to them ihc thanks of the people for their faithful and untiring efforts in behalf ot the public good. We find the roads with a few ex ceptions to he in had order, and that the road commissioners throughout the county have been grossly negli gent of their duties, and are mainly responsible for the condition ot the same. The propriety of presentin each and every one of these commis sioners was seriously considered by this body, but it was considered best not to do so at this term of the couit, but to call their attention plainly to their neglect of duty and therefore violation of the law, and admonish them that they may not expect a like leniency from future grand juries, to whom we hereby recommend a strict and rigid enforcement of the road laws. In view of the fact that the roads have been neglected for such a length of time (and in a few instances that there is a scarcity of hands) that it is impossible that all the roads can be worked to the required standard im mediately, we suggest that, each over seer he required to work one-third of his road according to the require ments of the law by the April term, 1890, another third by the October term, 1890, and the remaining one- third by the April term, 1891, of this court. In event of a failure to accomplish this, then we recommend that our representative in the general assem bly have passed a special act for Thomas county, authorizing the levy and collection of a tax of not more that three (3) dollars per capita ( the same as collected in all towns and cities for street purposes) in the levy and collection of which tax there shall be no exemptions whatever, each district to expend on the roads within its own limits all taxes collected for that pur pose from citizens living therein. It having come to our knowledge that there is some dissatisfaction with the contract between the county and City of Thomnsville concerning the hire of the chain gang, we have ex amined into the matter, and recom mend as a fair and just solution of the matter, that as soon as practicable, the said contract he so revised that the City of Thomasville shall pay all expenses of the chain gang from the time of the delivery of the convicts into their keeping—provided that they shall not he precluded from the use of the county jail as a place of safe keeping of the convicts. If this can not he done, then that the com missioners otherwise dispose of the convicts to the best advantage. Although we have found it neces sary, under the law, to present various parties (among them some of our best citizens) for the offense of selling cigarettes to minors, yet in considera tion of the recent enactment of the law, and other mitigating circum stances, we recommend to His Honor, the presiding judge, to discharge these parties at as small expense to them as the law will allow. We recommend that W. II. Bihh be appointed his own successor as notary public and ex-officio justice of the peace of the 037th District. We recommend that both grand and petit jurors be paid two dollars per day. We beg to tender our thanks to His Honor, Judge A. II. Ilauscll, to Solicitor D. W. Rountree, and Solid- tor-Protem J. R. Slater, for courtesies extended. Ordered that these general present ments he published in the Times- Entkrprise. In open court, December 12, 1889. Auo. II. Hansell, Judge S. C'., S.
