The great Mississippi bottoms con
tinue covered with water. Great dis
tress prevails in many localities.
The republicans are trying to find a
silver lining to the lowering clouds
which are fast enveloping their party.
Georgia military will be represented
at the great inter-state drill in Kansas
city in June. And the boys will bring
back some of the chink.
The increased production of corn
wheat and oats in the Southern Slates,
as compared with production ten years
ago, is over 220,000 000 bushels.
The democrats will fight old Hoar’s
fedeial election law to the bitter end.
And we believe they will whip the
fight. O, for Sam Randall.
According to a statement made by
ex-Goveriior Glick the farmers of
Kansas have succeeded in morrgag-
ing their lands for about seventy
million dollars more than they are
worth.
New York State has 6,000,000 peo
ple of whom one-h»lf live in the six
largest cities. The most densely pop
ulated square mile in the world, con
taining 289,000, is said to be in New
York city.
When the Republicans* wanted to
steal the Presidency for Hayes, they
cried, with an air of patriotism: "You
can’t go behind the returns.” But
when it came to stealing the two Mon
tana Senators, they said, “You can go,,
behind the returns,” and they did
Great is Radicalism, and Inconsisten

The Jacksonville, Fla., Times-
Union seconds amotion of The Atlan
ta Journal, as follows: “If the com
pound lard bill becomes a law the
people of the cotton states should
refuse to buy hog lard and content
themselves with cqtton seed oil. The
latter is more wholsome, and it is
product for which there should at
least be a home market. Let the
people defeat the real qbject of the
law, if they cannot prevent its pas
sage.”
Miss Winnie Davis.
The recent reported engagement of
the “Daughte r of the Confederacy”
To the grand-son of a noted Northern
abolitionist has attracted very general
attention. A special to the Augusta
Chronicle, from Atlanta, says:
It now transpires that Miss Winnie
Davis, the cherished daughter of the
Confederacy, is not going to marry
the son of a notorious Abolitionist
and South hater, as alleged.
Facts have reached Atlanta which
conclusively silences such rumors.
Miss Winnie is going to marry, and
is going to marry a New Yorker, but
he is a state rights Democrat, dyed in
the wool. His father and grandfather
before him were of the same political
faith, and both were prominent ex
ponents of that doctrine.
The prospective husband of Miss
Winnie is a grandson of Judge Wil
kinson, the founder of Syracuse, N,
Y., and a n.an universally beloved
and honored. The families from one
generation to another have been so
cial leaders of New York society.
The young man, in question, is said
to bo very polished and highly &iica-
ted. He graduated among the first
ol a large class at Harvard, and is by
profession a lawyer of conspicuous
practice.
Cupid is a treacherous little nymph
when a game of hearts is being played,
but he is certainly not guilty of de
livering the “childof the Confederacy”
into the camps of the enemy.
Grand Jury Presentments.
We, I lie (irand Jurors, chosen and sworn
for the April term, 1890, of the Superior
Court of Thomas county, beg to report the
following general presentments:
Wc can not retrain from expressing our
regrets for the enforced absence of Mr. J. A.
Ilurst, the‘efficient sheriff of our county,
and to extent! to him anil his family, through
this medium, the sympathies of the entire
court.
The limited time allotted to the Jury of
course prevented a thorough and critical
examination of the hooks and records of the
county officials, but we have performed this
duty as well as we could under the circum
stances,and find them, without^exccption, in
good condition and neatly kept.
The management of the school fund by
the present Commissioner and Board of
Education meets with our entire approbation.
We especially commend the method adopted
by them of contracting with each teacher
according to his or her merits and ns the
circumstances ot each case may demand.
Our examination ot the hooks of the Jus
tices of the Peace and Notaries Public, found
them in most instance's correct. In some
fey.' instances the dates of tlie issuing of
summons are omitted. A few others have
failed to keep an itemized record of the
coits. These are important duties and we
urge those who have been remiss to conform
strictly to the law in these cases.
We found upon inquiring that the roadl
and bridges of the county, with a few ex
ceptions arc in fair condition. And wc beg
to extend our thanks to the Commissioners
for their faithful services.
We call their attention, however, first to
bridge over the Aucilla creek on the Sum
mer Hill road, the flooring of which is
rotten and broken and calculated to result
in serious inconvenience to the public if al
lowed to remain in its present condition,
We recommend that new flooring be placed
on said bridge. Second, to the Jones bridge
which needs the substitution of new for
broken plank.
Upon a careful examination of the new
jail wc find that the plans and specifications
have been closely followed by the contrac
tors. The plans are admirably adapted to
the purposes intended. The ventilation and
heating npparntusjand other piccautions for
health and comfort arc ample.
The old jail is ns cleanly and in ns good
condition ns it is possible to keep such
building.
The Court House is in g>od condition ex
cept in a few places the plastering is cracked.
This we consider impossible to prevent.
The waste pipes arc not in such a cleanly
condition as could be desired and wc suggest
that all pipes be flushed once a week.
The building tor the paupers need some
repairs. The outside fence should be white
washed and protected from vegetation.
The cross fences should be rebuilt and white
washed.
Wc find that the salary to the keeper ($10)
is hardly sufficient to pay for the cooking
and washing for the inmates, of whom there
are nine, and recommend th*e\County Com
missioners to make the salary for the deeper
of the poor house $25 per month.
It having come to our\nowlcdge that the
county still owns about 300 acres of the old
pauper farm, ami that divers depredations
arc continually being committed thereon,
which are difficult if not impossible to pre
vent, and that the present poor houses arc
in bad condition, we recommend that said
farm be sold to the best advantage and at as
early a date as practicable, and the proceeds
of the sale be applied to the improvement of
the poor houses.
We recommend that the County Commis
sioners contract with the city of Thomos-
ville for the use of the convicts of the coun
ty, provided the said city shall pay all ex
penses of said convicts, from the time of de
livery to the city. Provided that if the said
city shall refuse to enter into such contract,
then the Commissioners shall make the best
possible disposition of said convicts to other
parties.
It is with pleasure that wo cite the fact
that although the county has taxable prop
erty amounting to over $4,000,000 there re
mains on the tax collector’s books but $25.47
unpaid insolvent taxes. We deem this
one of the good effects ot the registration law.
We recommend that Addison Way, Esq.,
be appointed Notary Public, and ex-officio
Justice of the Peace for the 763rd Militia Dis
trict, to succeed himself. And that G. P.
ITaiiscll, J. L: Hall and D. T. Forrest be ap
pointed ou the hoard of education to succeed
themselves.
Wc recommend that the salary of the
Judge of the County Court be fixed at $1,000
We recommend that these presentment!
be published in nil the papers published in
the county.
We beg to extend our thanks to the offi
cers of the court tor their uniform courte
sies.

The Brunswick Times pithily re
marks:
Judging from scattering remarks in
the Georgia papers, there will proba
bly be an election in this Slate alone
in ihe fall. Gentlemen who love to
serve their country should let the
fact be known. The dear people are
shouting for you to come out and
the offices are seeking the office-hol
ders.
Here’s something interesting about
the gold fcaf: There is a firm in
Cincinnati which, each year, beats 2i,-
ooo gold dollars into gold leaf; and
as each dollar can be beat into a sheet
that will carpet two rooms sixteen
and a hall feet square, some idea may
be formed of its tenuity. It takes
1,400 sheets of gold leaf to equal in
thickness a sheet of writing paper,
and 280,000 of them piled one upon
the other to make an inch in thickness!
Burglars never trouble a safe filled
with the airy gold leaf.
