This community, at least those who have been buying fish caught in Flor ida, and thoio who make occasional raids on the finny tribe in lamnnec lake, have been stirred up lat.-ly. The report that a Florida law against sell ing fish caught in Florida, or nilowing ■ion residents to tisli in Florida waters was being cuforced in onr sister state, was what caused tho ripple. Several disciples of Izaak Walton, devotees of rod and gun, liaviug heard llmt par ties were nrrested, employed Mr. T. N. Hopkins to go across the border and take charge of the cases. Mr. Hopkins returned on Wednes day afternoon. "What was the result of your trip?” the reporter asked Mr. Hopkins, as the latter stepped from the Monticcllo traiu, ’.‘I got my men off," said Mr. Hop kins. “What about the case, who were ar rested, and for what?” queried the re porter. “To go back to the beginning,” said Mr. Hopkins, “On Monday, July 28th, Bill Jones, with several other lamoncc fishermen, were nrrested and committed in default of a §200 bond, for trial by the circuit court of Leon comity, Fla., for violating the first section of a law made by the Florida legislature in 18$7, lor the protection of fish in fresh water streams ami lakes in the stale of Florida: sec Acts, 1887, page 1-122. The section refer red to, made penal the fishing in fresh water lakes and streams with lines, for barter, sale or shipment beyond the limits of the stale. The nets of 1880, Florida Legislature, page 153, re pealed the first section of the act of 1887. “I wis employed hereby a number of gentlemen interested ill the lisli question, and went immediately to Tallahassee. I had the prisoners brought upon a writ of habeas corpus before llou. D. S. Walker, Judge of the Circuit court, who after hearing the euse, discharged the prisoners,” “The Inw, examined,” continued the gentleman, “does not prohibit fishing with hook and line in fresh water lakes or streams in Florida, and carrying the fish for sale, beyond the limits of the state; nor docs it prohibit non residents from fishing with rod and line in any of the fresh lakes or streams, provided fish so caught are fur homo consumption, and not for sale.” Many of our citizens buy fish caught in Florida, and many go to Iamonce for the sjiort of fishing. These all, will be interested in the lucid expla nation of the lnw by Mr. Hopkins. In Memoriam. O iii.oc.kovke, Ga., ) July 30, 1890. j Mr. A. L. Mnrkclt died at the home of Mr. James Massey, of Brooks county, near Harmony church, on the 23th inst. He was confined to his bed but a few days. Mr. Mnrkett was one of the leading and most prominent young men in the county, was a farmer, and will be greatly missed in that community. H&had a large circle of friends, and was making u mark in the world ns fast os any young man. He never prolessed religion, but was nn example to young men who have started out in life. May his death prove to be the cause of some poor shipwrecked souls in that community to find Joy iu the religion of the Lord, and professing him publicly ns their personal .Savior. We trust he has gone to that better lnnd where around the throuc ol God tho niigcis stand, with golden harps in hand, siuging praise to Him who delivers the sin-sick soul out of its bond, and stands its feet on the Hock of Ages, where sickness nor death Rover comes to part friends and loved ones; where peace and happiness shall reign throughout eternal ages, and the saved of the Lord shall rest from toil and strife, forever with God. W. L. Massey. Southwest Georgian, Boston World and Quitman Press please eopy. To The Alliancemen of Thomas County. At your meeting in July, you did me the honor to elect me President of the County Alliance. Ab such, it becomes my duty lion estly to advise you on nil questions affecting the interests of our order. 1 learu from opinions expressed to me verbally, nnd from letters written to me by prominent members of the Alliance, that great dissatisfaction ex ists as to the result of tho primary election as declared by the democratic executive committee. The main grounds of dissatisfaction arc: 1st. That the executive committee were not sufficiently diligent iu having their orders thoroughly understood in regard to the manner of conducting the election, 2d. That the lbul weather caused the loss of hundreds of votes to the Alliance ticket in the couuty pre cincts, and therefore that the rc- dict of a majority of the legal demo cratic voters of Thomas couuty. In afiswer to the first complaint, I am satisfied that the members of the executive committee are all gentlemen of sterling integrity, and that they did the best they could in the short time which elapsed between the hold ing of the mass meeting and the pri mary. In the second place, while it is con ceded by all fair-miuded men that the heavy ruins uloue prevented the triumph of the Alliance ticket, it would he unjust to Mr. Mitchell and his supporters to hold them responsi ble for the acts of Providence. In conclusion I would say let us, as good democrats, giv-i Mr. Mitchell a cheerful, cordial and Hearty sup port, nud let us frown down all hints at independentism, which bus been, and always will ho, the curse of party organization. With my thunks lor your generous support, 1 remain, Fraternally yours, A. Q. Moody. M. W. Simmons. This gentleman, and lie is well and favorably known to many of our rend ers, announces himself to-day as a candidate lor Tax Receiver of Thom as county. Mr. Simmons is a one legged confederate soldier. He has been a tru* and trusted democrat all these years, supporting with a loyalty worthy of commendation, the nomi nees of the party in national, state und county elections. He has never held office, but thinks now that the time has come to pass tho “dumplins.” Mr. Simmons is thoroughly competent, and will, if elected, fill the office well ami faithfully. Like the sterlni; democrat thnt he is, lie submits his claims to the democratic party. Council Proceedings. Ji i.y 29, 1890 Called meeting Mayor Hopkins presiding.
