D. IM'IEIS. Bnslncn. Malinger 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 cy is its “profit.”—Brunswick Times. 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. A. Q. Moody, W. T. Beasly, II. A. Alderman, E. L. Neel, Prior Lewis, W. It. MacIntyre, J. W. Cochran, D. X. McKinnon, J. A. Pone, J. W. Maxwell, Henry Wight, J. W. Moore, W. E. Davies. 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. B. D. FUBShE, THOM ASYTLLE, GA., DEALER in HARDWARE Stoves, Iron, Tin and Hollow Ware, KEEP-:-K00L! —YOUR E Jk.
