In the latter part of the year 18J7, be returned to Georgia and taugnt the Academy at Hillsboro, in Jasper coun ty. Ou Christmas day, 1828, be re turned to the vicinity of Athens, and was married to Miss Sarah Caroline Neisler. During the month of Febru ary, 1830, he was chosen tutor of math- ematlcs in the University. This po- sition he filled acceptably hr four years, when he yielded to the Inclina tion aud natural bent of his mind, aud began tho practice of the law. He received his license to the Georgia bar from Judge Thomas W. Cobb, in Jasper county, but most of his life was spent in the Western circuit. In his chosen profession, he rajtidly rose to distinction. His discriminat ing mind, his accurate memory, his fearless and energetic espousal of his onuses, and Ills clear, conscientious convictions, fitted him well for great and efficient work as a lawyer. During the administration of Gov ernor Towns, when the state railroad hail been completed to Dalton, it was determined to push it on to Chatta nooga. In the prosecution of the en terprise it was found necessary to cut a tunnel through the Little BlueRldge. In those early days oi railroad build ing, there could not be found in. $h$ State of Georgia an engineer willing to undertake the work. When Gov. Towns announced bis Inlcqtiqn of sending north for an engineer, Col. Mitchell maintained that Georgia should not acknowledge to the world that site had no citizen capable of ac complishing any . work that other men could perfoi in. For the pride of the state, he offered to give up his pro fession and lucrative practice to do that work, and he was accordingly ap pointed superintendent of the state railroad. With a determination and*, zeal characterlstioof the man, be pur chased all the necessary books of en gineering, aud with such practical as sistance as he could obtain from those skilled in the science, and with no other groundwork than a collegiate training in mathematics, he educated himself in the science of engineering, undertook and completed the tunnel, and before his term of . office expired' he rati the trains into the city ofChat- tanooga, the present terminus.x>f the roud. He then returned to the practice of Ills profession, which he pursued till his death. He was for sixteen years the secretary and treasurer ef the Univer sity board of trustees, of whiehhe was, for a much longer period, one of its most earnest, faithful and devoted members. Iu 1867, upon the death of Judge Lumpkin, be was elected pro fessor of Law, and under his aecurate, careful training, more than one hun dred and twenty-fljve lawyers have come to the bar of Georgia. The skill they all displayed and the distinction which many of them so rapidly at tained, attest the character of his in struction and the thoroughness of his training. , , , It may be truly said of him that be was reared and lived pnder the cave of his Alnta Mater.- 'Upon the col lege grounds he learned to lisp his A B C’s. Through his long and active live he Imparted to its students the knowledge he had stored, and iii Its service he fulfilled his lifeldng wish that he might “work to the end.” Thus did he obey the Master’s injunc tion, “Occupy till I come.” In his early manhood he professed religion and connected himself with the Presbyterian church. In hia more than three score and ten years, his walk and life exemplified the sinceri ty of his conviction and his love of Christ. As a friend be was true, as a counsellor safe, as a citizen patriotic, as an officer loyal, as a man virtuous aud as a Christian faithful and de voted.

The kind of “gin” they had been working on all day had no saws to it, but a big lot of headache. A SAD AMD TERRIBLB TRAGEDY. On Saturday last one of the most sad and heart-rending homicides occurred in our bounty known in its history. Mr. Henry and Charles Chambers, brothers, got Into a difficulty ut the house of their father, near Stiver Shoala, when Henry violently stabbed Charles in the left breast, and so terri ble was the blow that It severed four of his ribs. The difficulty occurred about sundowu and Charles lingered until about five o’clock, next morn ing, when death ended his suffering. The- sad gloom this affair casta over our whole con^munity can only be im agined wliea weatate that these young men were * own horn brothers—that they stood high as citizens, and were prompt and honest in all their deal ings. Their parents are above re- proach. Henry remained until the death of his brother, when, we learn, he made his escape.—Bellton Georgian. For Mayor.—Skiff, the jeweler, If elected, he promises the citizens of Athens St;, elty clock, to be placed where it ean be heard and seen by All, and do all that can be done for the happiness and welfare of the people and prosperity of the elty. Elect 8kifT, the jeweler, your mayor and have a city clock; and for your Christ mas presents, go to Skiff, the Jeweler* You will there find a variety of pretty, useful and suitable presents for lady or gentleman. Death-Bed Repentance.—Mr. Sylvanus Miller, s well known manu facturer of Urbana, Ohio, who has aiU his life been an avowed infidel and atheist, died on Monday last. When on his death-bed he renounced Inger- soll and his teachings, and professed tbe Christian faith. He said that In- gersoll’B religion,was good enough, to I(W by, but not good enough to die with. Astkoxomical.—Tho earth is now crossing the track of the meteors, and tbe latter may be seen quite abundantly near where tho comet was seeu iu Oc- was tober * though not oiltll late in the night. No Very marked meteoric display Is pre dicted until 1899. The wonderful display of 1833 has been often advertised to re appear, but no one generation has ever yet beheld two such graud displays os that. Glam Clothing.—A glass-making firm In Pitfobnrg.

Gctkb*l8m*shlt.—Wednesday night three-trains ran into each other a' lew miles below Union Point and a general crush was the result. A fireman was iKslly injured but no one else hurt. The accident was caused by a cab becoming detached from a freight train, which wws first run into by tbe exjdfess,' and afterwards two freights. A Violation of the Law.—The grocer who sella an empty oil barrel without first having erased the brand of the inspector, is liable to a fine of $50. Tbe object of the law in this is to preveut oil dealers from re-filling the barrel with An inferior quality of oil .and yeBIngjit atasuperior article. Trade Dull.—Our merchants com plain of bnslneas being unusually dull for this season. This is accounted for, we think, by farmers bolding back their cotton for a better price. They only sell what they are compelled to. We predict a splendid trade after Christmas and next spring. I Frightened Horses.—Last Stui- tfay ^Ulle Hok. W. lO.

Erwin, Judge Superior Court Clarke Couuly: We the Giand Jury, aelecled, chosen and sworn for the November Term 1882, have abended to all of the business that has been before ns, without bar or atfection. We have itiven it tlie closest, most earnest and conscientious attention possible; and we now respectfully submit tbe following recommendations and reports from the sev • eral committees appointed front our Irndgr,, 1st. We recommend that oar Represen tative in tbe Legislature endeavor '■*»■ have' tbe Act creating our City Court so amend- ed aa to pay tbe Jurors in said Court’ $2.00 per day. " 1 ™ ■ . 2d. Recent elections in this ceasin'have demonstrated the fact, that a certain clan of voter* in oar rahtst, sell tbelr political influence, under tbe pretence of being paid for tbe time they are engaged in 'advoca ting tbe claims of any given,, candidatet thus virtually selling both their vote ana influence. We cannot express in too strong terms onr unqualified condemnation or this practice. It is degrading and demor alizing ; it discounts virtue and worth and promotes vice and corruption; it tends to place the offices of the government, not with the worthy, but with those who can Jaty tbe most influence, without regard to fitness. Wo therefore most earnestly re commend otir Senator and Representative to use every possible means to secure tbe passage of an act, making such conduct criminal both in the person paying and in the person receiving; and in order that tbe law may not be evaded, we recommend that tbe law of evidence in regard to gam- iug be made a part of the act, so that one may be compelled to testify against the other. 3rd. We recommend that the expenses incurred in draping the Court Home in honor of tbe memory and distinguished services of our friend and fellow citizen, Col. Wm. L Mitchell, be paid by tbe prop er officer out of the funds of tbe county. 4th. We recommend. In the strongest terms, that the Ordinary or whatever offi cer has charge of the Court House grounds, be required tn prevent ali stock of any kind from tresspassing on said grounds. 5tb. We recomminend tbat the Ordinary issue only one order per month for the sal ary of the janitor at the Court House. 6tb. We heartily endorse the action of the last Grand Jury, in regard to issuing retail liquor license, and we earnestly re quest our worthy Ordinary to comply strict ly with the same. 7th. Tbe present year has been a very onerous and expensive one to the county, far exceeding the anticipations of the offi cers. As there has been a great deal of un expected litigation, in consequence of which, tbe Treasury of the county became exhausted before any of tbe taxes for the present year were collected. In this dilemma, our very worthy young Treasurer decided to borrow ntooey upon hia own responsibility, and meet all demands against the county; in this he in- curred the exjienae of $24 23 us in terest We recommend that amount to be refunded to him by the county. 8th. We recommend tbat the amount of $63 00 be paid to the Slier.if, John W. Weir for expenses inenrred in capturing one escaped prisouer, aud advertising an other. 9th. We recommend that the Tax Col lector H H Linton be relieved from the payment of the following tax fi. fas. viz: BenJ. Chambers -$1 95. E J Thrasher 1 fi2. Isaac Willliams 5 00. Henry Cary 2 90. As we have carefully examined into said claims and the causes of non settlement and find that the Collector was not to blame. 10th. We recommend that the pay of the Jurors and Bailitfa remain the same us heretofore. PUBLIC BUILDINGS. We have examined the Court Bouse and all other public buildings. We find the Court House in good repair, with the ex ception of the tin roof, which needs some repairs and re-painting, which we recom mend be done at once. We think the fire proof vaults in the Court House, could be used now with safety. The desks in the offi ces of the Ordinary's and Cierk's offices are very convenient and useful improve ments. Wc find the jail neat, clean and comfortable, and reflects credit upon tbe officer in charge. We recommend that the projection under tbe upper windows be tborougbly cemented with the best cement. Also tbat tbe wall around tbe jail be re painted with the best lime mortar. There is-a new, brick, fire-proof stable being erected near the jail, the old one having been burned. We are glad to see prepara tions being made to complete the cistern recommended by last Grand Jury, and hope that it will be pushed to completion at an early day. W« find the fence around the Court.House ground is in fair condition, and we think with a few repairs will last for several years. We find the lights around jail insufficient, which we trast will soon be remedied. PUBLIC RECORDS, DOCKETS, ORDINARY'S AND SIIEBIFP’S BOOKS. We have examined the records in the Clerk’s, Ordinary’s, and Sheriff’s offices, and we are glad to say we find tbem all kept in a neat and business-like way, reflecting great credit upon these officers. TAX RECEIVER AND COLLECTOn'8 BOOKS We have examined the Tax Receiver’s and Collector’s books, and find tbem neat and correct, and we are glad to say these officers are very efficient aud well qualified to perform all the duties of their respec tive Offices. We are sorry to say, that in onr opinion, there area good many of our citizens who do not return their property at its fair valuation. We hope this will be corrected, so that the burden of taxation .will be equal on all. Below we give state ment ot Collector’s books- To am’t due county from May re port,... ,.a $517 21 CR.

"We have examined the bond of ehcli county officer, and find thefn'amply suffi cient; atnl we feel gratified that the Interest Of the citizens is «u well protected. The Committee on Public Schools have no report to make at this term of the Oocrt, except rtliat the schools are all doing well and in good working order.. , . We recommend that the Clerk "of the Superior Court make out‘and have printed the name* of all prison* wbo have been convicted of such crime* .a* will debar tbem from the privilege of voting, ana fur nish said list te tbe managers at (rich voting precinct in the county, prior to every election in the county. - ■, • i . *, We recommend that, the Clerk, of the Superior and City Courts be required to re cord all criminal bonds immediately upon their receipt by him. . Owing to the limited number of Grand Jurors m the county, end tbe great labor necessary to tbe faithful performance of their dunes, we recommand tbat our Repre sentative in the Legislature endeavor to have an Act passed relieving the Grand Jurors from beiug compelled to nerve aa Petit Jurors in City Court ' ' *• We recommend that J. C. Williamson, a Bailiff of Jackson, be paid $7 25, expenses in arresting and delivering J. E. Thurmond to the Sheriff of Clarke couuty. ■' We recommend that the pay of Jnrors and Bailiffs be tbe same as heretofore. We recommend tbat Asa.M. Joels in. Ordinary, be paid $234 25—amount ot bill rendered. We desire to express our hearty and cor dial approval ot the firm and manly con duct of the Hoc. Howell Cobb, Judge of the City Court, in Inflicting severe penalties upon paitiea convicted ot “illegal voting.” A better service could not be rendered the country—for he who will not contribute to the support of the Government ot a right, ought not to have a voice iu the selection of the rulers of the Government. And he who contributes by bis official conduct, as Judge Cobb has done, to preserving the purity of the ballot, renders his country a service for which he deserves tbe thanks of all good citizens. Io conclusion, we desire to express, in behalf of the people of our county abd of ourselves, our deep and sincere regret at the voluntary retirement of bis Honor, Judge Alex. 8. Erwin, from the bench of the Superior Courts of this Circuit And we also desire to express our admiration and appreciation of the ability and dignity with which be has presided during his term of four years. And we beg leave to assure him that be leaves tho bench with the hearty good wishes of his fellow-citizens tor liis future success; and while we regret bis loss as a Judge, we congratulate our selves and the community, tbat we still re tain him as a citizen. We heartily extend the thanks of this body to Judge Pottle, Solicitor General Mitchell, and our very attentive BailifiLW. H.

S. ERWIN, Judge 8. C. ALBERT L. MITCHELL, Sol. Gen. THE DRYGOODS REGULATOR: A Walk Through tho Bplondld Establishment of * B, O. Gray, While loafingaround the street thanks giving day we chanced to drop into the store of Bob Gray, and finding tbe pro prietor had a few leisure moments oil hia hands asked that he show us through his stock. As Mr. Gray it the soul of cleverueaa he readily complied. Our readers all know tbe history of this house—how a few years ago one of the staunchest firms in the south establish ed a branch store in Athens and began an indiscriminate slaughter in prices, that was the sensation of the day. Af terwards it was decided to move the house to 8L Louis, and for several months the business was closed; but Bob Gray being bound to Athens by the ten- derest ties at length decided not to leave and started business ou a small scale on his own account. It was not long, however, before he moved back into the old quarters aud has just opened a stock of dry goods that reminds us of old times. “The people have not aa yet found out what 1 have and I wish you would let me show you through my various departments,” was his reply to our re quest. Beginning at the door he first exhibit ed his stock of notions, gloves, fanoy goods, bu ttons, ties and hundreds of other things in this line. It was cer tainly a feast te the eye to view this de partment. On every hand was display ed tbe most stylish and and beautiful goods, and the prices at which he is sell ing them is truly astonishing. 1 Next he showed us his dress goods, and a finer stock you seldom see. He has all the stylish tabrics in every color and design, from the standard brand of prints at from five to six cents per yard to a black alpaca as $1, which the ladies pronounce the greatest bargain ever of fered in the state. “One of the best bat gains I have,” re marked Mr. Gray, ’ “is those Scotch tweeds, that are genuine imported goods. All I ask is for the ladies to examine my stock and prices, and I guarantee to save them utoney. They have no idea the style of dress goods I carry." Opening adrawer Mr. G. asktd us to examine some lace handkerchiefs he threw upon the counter. “These,’’ hfe continued, “are worth $50 perdozen and I brought them out for wedding and holiday presents; butlcan also sell'a good linen handkerchief at two fora uickel. You may also say that in do mestics and white goods of all kinds I offer great bargains. In fact I retail them . at juat what they cost me by wholesale, as I am deterinined to recov er {py old,trade at any oqst,’.’ “Thera is as good a shirt as yon can buy in the city and,I am selling it at flfoy cents,” he remarked,, stepping , to panther,counter. , “It is madq of tha best goods and guaranteed, wifli a fine lineu bosom. Hera is a shirt at 75 centa that la really fine. Ids theisatne. make that some firms now make a ran on at $2.25, when - laundried. And, by the way, let me tell you my interview, With ■ New York drummer the- other day. After examining my stock of, , dress goods he stated that I waaselling, at.re tail actually below wholesale prices. You see my father buys ,1a immense quantities npd few if any houses in tho south can compete with us.” ' Mr. Gray next showed us his mhgnlfl- cent,stock ol hosiery, suitings, CkSst- mdrea, undershirts, knit goods, blanket^ shawls, slices nnd all manner of gooda usually kept In a first-class dry gooda store. His prioos are oertalrity Yerjr low,, hfo stock fresh aud > fl rat-class, and' \re advise our readers, to give bjm % trial before buying elsewhere. He baa allthe novelties of the season.
