HABERSHAM’S TROUBLES.
The County Officers In a Peck of Trouble.
The county officers of Haber
sham county have at last come to
grief. Some time ago the Ordi
nary’s office was entered, the safe
broken into and the books and rec
ords extracted therefrom. For some
time there has been a cloud resting
on some of the officials, as there
was never any money in the treas
ury to pay off the orders, and Hab
ersham county was getting in a bad
fix, owing to a great deal of crook
edness in the different offices of the
county. The court is in session
this week, and it was hoped by the
good people of the county that the
crookedness would be looked into,
and the parties who broke into the
Ordinary’s office caught and
brought to justice. Ben C. Martin,
we learn, went before the grand
jury and confessed that he broke
open the safe, and implicated
Groves, the Ordinary; Fuller, the
Tax Collector; J. W. West, Roberts
and five others, against all of whom
the grand jury will prefer bills of
indictment. There seems to be a
regular organized ring in Haber
sham to get all the money in the
county. The grand jury are ferret-
ing’it out, and the chain gang will
catch several good citizens from
that county.
country that every citizen is under
as serious obligations to the govern
ment as he wno has beep chosen as
its chief magistrate, and he invokes
the co-operation of each one, how
ever humble, to aid him in hisfirm
purpose to restore good government.
He declares that democratic princi
ples need no apology, their faithtnl
application being the surest guaran
tee of honest government. They
need no apology for their existence,
and demand no display of mere
partisanship to insure their popular
ity. He urges an immediate aban
donment by men of all parties of
that spirit ot sectional prejudice and
distrust which has done so much to
keep alive the passions of the war,
to prevent ths proper and natural
development of the country and to
blind the eyes of the people of all
sections to the fact that the name of
American confers distinction on the
citizens of the north, tlje south, the
east and the west.
The new president declares that
he will be guided in the discharge of
his official duties by a just and un
strained construction of the consti
tution, and by a careful observance
of the distinction between the pow
ers granted to the federal govern
ment and those reserved to the
states; and he takes occasion to
remind the people that the constitu
tion, the government and all the
machinery that has been set in mo
tion thereunder belong exclusively
to the people themselves—a fact
that maladminstration has taken
pains to ignore.
The government, President Cleve
land says, must be economically ad
ministered, not only because an im
portant element of justice to the
people is to be found in administra
tive economy, but because an eco
nornical government sets an exam
ple to each citizen. The president
strikes one of the key notes of gen-
oine democratic policy when he de
clares that the people should be en
couraged by those upon whom they
have conferred the dignity of official
station, in that plain way ot life
which promotes honesty and sim
plicity, thrift and prosperity.
The toreign policy of his admin
istration, President Cleveland states
in a few pregnant sentences. It is
the policy of independence—the
policy of peace—the policy of neu
trality—the policy of Washington,
Jefferson and Monroe—the policy of
honest friendship with all nations
and entangling alliances with none.
There is no direct allusion to the
silver controversy in the address,
but the president declares that the
interests and prosperity of all the
people demand that “our finances
shall be established upon such a
sound and sensible basis as shall
secure the safety and confidence of
our business interests and make the
wages of labor sure and steady.”
On the tariff question he follows the
Chicago platform. The interests of
the country demand that “our sys
tem of revenue shall be so adjusted
as to relieve the people from unne
cessary taxation, having a due re
gard to the interests of the capital
invested and the workingmen em
ployed in American industries, and
preventing the accumulation of a
surplus in the treasury to tempt ex
travagance and waste.” *
Tne president declares that the
THE INAUGURAL.
The Crowd—What TheyTThink otUs Abroad.
Washington, March 5.—Such
exact figures as are obtainable indi
cates that all the estimates of the
number of strangers in Washing
ton yesterday were much below
the actual number. The figures
furnished by the Baltimore and
Ohio and the Pennsylvania railroads
show that these two roads alone
brought from or through Baltimore
105,000 people yesterday. Add to
this number those who had been
flocking to the city for the several
days previous, over these roads, and
from the West over the Baltimore
and Onio and the Virginia roads
and steamers on the Potomac river,
and it is probable that from 200,000
to 250,000 strangers were in the
city yesterday. Many thousands
still remain here.
The London Telegraph says that
the inaugural procession in Wash
ington augured well for the success
of the democratic regime. America
holds such an important place in
the comity of nations that it is hard
ly exaggerated to say that when
she is prosperous and happy, the
rest of the world sympathizes and
is benefitted thereby.

with her father.
“Won’t yon come home now,
father, please?” she said. Her
voice was low and childish, and the
sweet upturned lace was pale and
quivering with some hardly sup
pressed emotion—but the man to
ward whom the appeal and agony
were directed took little notice of
either.
•Why do you bother me?” he
said, impatiently. “Go home. I’U

The girl looked after him wist
fully, then, as his form was lost to
her view in the crowded room, with
a deep despairing sigh she turned
and left the place. Outside the
electric lights streamed full upon
her slender figure as she hesitated a
moment before descending the step.
One or two policemen loitering
near eyed her curiously, and some
men hurrying in gave her a quick
questioning glance, but no one mo
lested or spoke to her, and slowly
she went out front the glare and
dazzle into the darker street be
yond.
The night was cold and stormy.
An icy sleet was falling, driven in
every direction by the capricious
and fitful wind gusts, and the few
pedestrians who were abroad hur-
ried on their way anxious to gain
shelter. The girl alone appeared
unconscious of the discomforts of
the weather. The rain beat upon
her, the fierce wind met her with a
force against which she staggered,
but she did not heed them. With
doubtiul purpose she walked slow
ly on, turning back once or twice to
look again at the place whence she
had jusi come, untij as the clock
from a neighboring tower indicated
to her how late the hour was she
stopped altogether.
“So late,”- she murmured. “Oh!
I cannot go home without him;”
and now she turned swiftly and re
traced her steps. She paused not a
moment on the threshold; evidently
she feared her own resolution. The
doors yielded instantly to her touch
and once more she looked over the
scene whose light and warmth and
comfort were as little to her as the
rain and wind outside. Her search
ing glance soon found out her fath
er; for the moment he was standing
alone, and his daughter felt that she
had one more chance. Rapidly she
gained his side.
“Father, dear father,” she began,
speaking low but passionately,
cannot leave you here. I cannot
face mamma without you; she has
waited so many nights for your
home-coming, and the hours are s*
dreary without you. Oh! father,”
the child went on, gathering up all
her energies, as she saw that her
listener was half heeding her words,
“break away from this wretched
place, come back to your home and
mamma and me; we love you so
dearly we cannot live without you,
and oh! it is all so different now
from what it used to be."
The childish voice was breaking.
“Such a little time ago we
were all so happy.” Here
a sob almost choked her. She slip
ped her clinging finger into the
unresisting hand of the man who
staggered at her side. “Come
back to us, father; come home with

an annual appropriation from the

L. Gantt: I have been intending io
write to you for several days, but
have been prevented by a press of
business. I want to congratulate
you and the friends of prohibition
in my native county, on your grand
success in putting down by such a
decisive vote, the destrucive evils of
of liquor saloons. It was one of the
greatest victories of the nineteenth
century. It will build up your beau
tiful and growing city. The Uni
versity will soon feel its beneficial
effects in its increased patronage.
Many parents who desired to send
to Athens, were afraid to do so on
account of the existence of so many
bar-rooms; now they have no fears.
People looking for places of resi
dences, will be most likely to select
Athens, as in addition to its many
other good qualities—it will have
no bar-rooms—so it will increase
your population.
You and your friend of the ChronJ
icle deserve great credit for the ac
tive stand taken in this great fight.
It shows the power ot the press,
and I hope the good citizens of Ath
ens and old Clarke will not forget
to reward you for your active and
unselfish course in this great con.
test.

With respect to civil service re

the negroes themselves as a definite

Washington, March 4.—The
inauguration of Mr: Cleveland has
been a complete success in every
detail so far as the weather, the
military pageant aud the pleasure
of an enormous crowd can contrib
ute. The new administration starts
off well. It is burdened by the
doubts of some, and in the great
task of reforming the government
friction must come.
Mr. Cleveland is not a striking
looking man, though showing up in
the presence better than in pictures.
He looks like a business man of
promptness and decision. Those
who are near to him say he is a
strong man and thoroughly sustain
ed by his conviction as the power
of truth and justice. - He has noth
ing of Andrew Jackson in him and
does not desire to accomplish re
sults by the mere force of personal
will. He intends to make a great
effort to reform the government
and asks the patience and aid of
the people. His administration will
be democratic—that is there will be
no recognition of the political coali

there can be no good government

A GIRL’S CHOICE.
Eloping With One Loser and Then (Sending {for
and Marrying Another.
Hopkinsville, Ky., March 2.—
Miss Emma L. Henderson of this
place, a bright girl ot good family,
was the heroine on Saturday of an
elopement with one lover and a mar
riage with another. For about two
years she has divided her heart
about equally between W. H. Mar
tin, of Croften and O. S. Stevens.
The lovers were not on speaking
terms with each other. On Satur
day morning Martin and Miss Hen
derson, by the invitation of the
young lady, took a train for Spring-
field to be married. Miss Hender
son wept occasionally as they trav
eled along. Having arrived at
Springfield, Martin lost no time in
procuring a license.
When he returned to thehotel Miss
Henderson demanded that the
ceremony should be postponed a
tew hours. She then returned to
the privacy of her room and took
the landlord into her confidence.
She told him all, and said she loved
both, but preferred Stevens, the
man she had left behind. The land
lord volunteered his services, and
she handed him the following tele
gram to send:
Mr. O. S. Stevens: Come to
Springfield first train. I am wait
ing for you.
Emma L. Hendbrson.
Stevens received a telegram and
left on the 12:26 traih. Martin had
again asked for the marriage to bo
solemnized, and had been put ofi
until 3 p. m., at which time the
train would arrive with Stevens.
The young lady gave as a reason
that she wanted to wait for her
brother, who would come on the 3
o’clock train.
At that hour Stevens, accompa
nied by the brother, arrived and
went to the hotel. The girl then
had an interview with each of her
lovers, and each of them also talked
with her brother. Stevens won the
prize, and the news was broken to
Martin as gently as possible. He
declared that he loved the girl, hut
accepted her decision manfully anl
was present at the wedding. He
shook hands with bis old enemy,
and congratulated bis bride with a
kiss. Thq whole party then re
turned to this city on the evening
train, Martin dividing time with
Stevens in talking to the bride on
the return trip. The train arrived
at 8 p. m., and the engineer blew
his whistle for five minutes while
entering the city. Stevens’ father
has denied him hia house for the
part he took in the matter. The
bridal couple are at Mr. Hender-

Opelika la a Blaze of Political Wrath.
Columbus,Ga, March 5.—Re
oorts have reached here from Ope
ika, Ala., which- indicate that the
municipal war has been renewed
It is rumored that the sharp reports
of shotguns and pistols were heard
several times last night. These
demonstiations were but challenges
from the heated advocates of op
posing factions that they were
ready for the fray.
Thirteen years ago, when rad
icalism was odious, it triumphed in
an election in Opelika, in which s
combination of white men and ne
groes triumphed over the better
class ot citizens. In every election
which has been held since, the bad
spirit which was then engendered
has played its part. As a conse
quence, the town has been under
the terror of mob law half a dozen
times, seven or eight men have been
killed, and such lawlessness has
been developed that finally the leg
islature had to interfere by legislat
ing out the city government, and
placing it under a commission of
the Governor’s appointment.
The city has since returned to
municipal rule, and with it came
revival of the old spirit. The elec
tions recently held showed that
anger still ruled, and the demon
stration oflast night shows that
passing bullet may, at any moment,
throw the city into a riot.

Daybreak found them with ranks
unbroken, a solid phalanx, ready

one hundred and fifty prohibition
votes were polled, and this solid
shot was followed by another of
one hundred and eighty prohibition
votes from Pike’s district. Theliq-
men then threw in a solid
column of 250 negroes, but they
could not break the enthusiasm of
the prohibitionists. The brass band
was stationed at ths polls, discours
ing sweet music, while the ladies
occupied the adjoining windows
and blocked the sidewalks, encour
aging the solid workers with all
the enthusiasm of their presence
amid banners flying, martial music,
and the irresistible encouragement
of mothers and sisters, the liquor

St. Louis, March 4.—There are
prospects ot a duel between Gover
nor Marmaduke and Major Rain
water. The latter is the most prom
inent candidate on the democratic
side’for the office of'Mayor of St,-
Louis, and is just now in the very
heat of the canvass. The other day
Marmaduke was interviewed by a
reporter, and was credited with us
ing language concerning Rainwater
unfit for publication, claiming that
Rainwater had violated certain
trusts, and calling him all manner
of names. In reply Rainwater has
written a letter to Marmaduke
which closes with these words: “I
desire to relieve you from any em
barrassment the recollections of
former intimacy and friendship may
impose upon you, and to invite you
as a public official whose duty it is
to protect and guard the common
welfare of our citizens to divulge
any secrets you may possess, and
proclaim any charges you may have
which can affect my character as
an honestman and gentleman. Your
position as Governor wifi entitle
your statements to high considera
tion, and will afford you an oppor
tunity to do a public duty and at the
same time ‘punish an enemy,’ but I
warn you to stick to the truth. Al
though butjan humble citizen, you.
cannot successfully assail my private
character with falsehood or impu-
nity.”
The trouble between these two
gentlemen dates back to 1873, up to
which time they were warm friends.
Its inception was a very frivolous
matter, and two or three circum
stances occurred to intensify'the
feeling. Gen. Marmaduke has on
several occasions during the past
ten years made some ugly remarks
about the Major, and while the lat
ter did not retort in kind, he did
halt Gen. Marmaduke on one occa
sion, in the presence of several gen
tlemen, and, after calling attention
to Marmaduke’s slanders, told him
that if there was any form of satis
faction which Gen. Marmaduke
deemed necessary to make amends
for any grievance that he had sus
tained, that satisfaction would be
given him at any time or place that
Gen. Marmaduke chose to name.
The hope was expressed in the same
connection that if Gen. Marmaduke
did not see fit to avail himself of this
fact, he would at least control his
tongue thereafter. Gen. Marma
duke retorted hotly, but nothing
came of that meeting.
The present controversy, how
ever, it is thought, will only end on
the “field of honor,” and that Gen.
Marmaduke will fight there is no
doubt, for he has already figured in
a duel. II is opponent was Gen.
Walker, whom he killed. This duel
arose out of an engagement which
took place between the Confederate
and the Union forces in Arkansas.
In the heat of the battle Gen. Mar
maduke charged Gen. Walker with
an act of insubordination, which,
resulted in a challenge from Gen.
Walker. The duel was fought im
mediately after the battle. Gen.
Marmaduke will come to the city
to-morrow evening, and then a
meeting of some kind between him
and Rainwater is looked for.

HOW TO TELL.
The New York Graphic givCfe
the following directions “how to
tell a woman’s age:”
Ask some other woman.
Few grandmothers are less than
26 off the stage.
Brunettes as a rule look older than
blondes of the same age.
Slenderness is supposed to be
girlish unless it produces wrinkles.
An unmarried woman is a girl
until she is 40. After that she is an
old maid.
During leap-year deduct ten years
from the age of every unmarried
woman.
It a woman has false teeth and
plumpers it is safe to put her down
as over 20.
_ Ask her how old she is and mul
tiply the answer by two. If she is
an actress multiply it by four.
Fat increases the apparent age
of a woman under 25 years and les
sens it over that age.
FltOX LAWHENCEVlLLE-
Coffee Lore.
Coffee comes to us laden with
the fragrance of Oriental bazaars
and the romance of the “Arabian
Nights.” Its early history as an eco
nomic product is involved in con
siderable obscurity, the absence of
historical fact being compensated
for by an unusual profusion of con
jectural statements, and by purely
mythical stories. Throwing legend
aside, ihe use of coffee seems to
have been introduced from Ethiopia
into Persia about the year S75 A.
D., and into Arabia from the latter
country at the beginning of the 14th
century. Notwithstanding that its
use as a beverage was prohibited
by the Koran, it spread rapidly
through the Mohammedan nation,
and was publicly sold in Constanti
nople in 1554. It easily found its
way from the Levent to Venice,
where coffee houses were establish
ed as early as 1615. A Jew named
Jacob opened a coffee-house in
England, selling it as a common
beveraga at Ballo College, Oxford,
in the year when the Long Parlia
ment met.

lished by Mr. John T. Wilson. It
has a flourishing school and several
churches; a number of mercantile

and its new court house, when com
pleted, will be one of the largest
and handsomest buildings in this
section of the state.
Nothing of any great importance
was tried this week, though a good
deal of business has been disposed
of. A white man named W. F.

THE LOTTERY LAW CONSTRUED.
The Revised Statutes of the Uni

circular concerning lotteries * *
shall be carried in the mail. Any
person who shall knowingly de
posit or send anything to be con
veyed by mail in violation of this
section shall he punishable by a fine
of not more than five hondred nor
less than one hundred dollars.”
This language is general. It is
broad enough to cover not only lot
tery agents but every buyer of a
ticket—every person who mails a
letter “concerning lotteries.”
Judge Hughes, of the United
States Circuit Court in Virginia,
gives the act a more restrictive
meaning. If it were construed lit
erally, he says, “a father writing his
son warning him against spending
money on tickets in any specified,
lottery would be indictable for a
criminal offense.” He holds that
the law applies only to lottery deal
ers who mail circulars and letter,
concerning lotteries, “and not the
occasional and individual buyer of
lottery tickets.”—N. Y. Herald.
They Fooled With the Goat.
[Erie Dispatch.]
A billy-goat owned by James.
Martin was pensively nibbling stray
wisps of hay, when three boys;
John Clark, Tommy Dadin and
Geo. Maguire, ; conspired to have ; -
some fun at the goat’s expense. Be
fore the boys were aware of it the
goat raised himself on his hind.legs,
lowered his head, and like a rock
from a catapult, he shot Dadin 'into
a snew bank, rendering him insen
sible. Dadin’s companions fled
down the road, but the goat had
pressing business about that time
in the more immediate vicinity. He
plunged into the snow bank after
his victim, and the force and fre
quency with which be brought his?
head in contact with the (exposed
parts would have made & pile-
driver green with envy. When
satisfied that he had had enough fun-
for one day, the goat shook .the
snow from his body and resumed
his pensive attitude and interrupted .
meal. Dakin requires an air cush- e
ion for his comfort.
