There is an old one-legged ped dler who comes to Athens fre quently, and still wears the mili tary belt that he wore through the war. He says he has continued to wear it daily ever since the war, intends to wear it until he dies, and then wants it buried with him. He was a good soldier, and loves to talk o» his war experience and tell how fights were won. OUR NEIGHBORING COUNTIES. WALTON COUNTY.

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 come when I’m ready,” and regain ing, with an effort, his uncertain bal ance he left her. 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 Burled la an Alpine Aralaaobe for nree Days. The Italian and Swiss papers re late some striking incidents, to which the recent avalanches have given rise. A man by the name of Rapelli, an ex-marshall of carabi neers. iived with his wife and Lis children in the village of Groscavel- lo. The wife was an invalid, and while her husband and their little girl were in her bed-room two Sun days ago an avalanche fell on the village and crushed the house. Ra pelli was killed, and the child, on* ol whose feet was caught between two ioists, was thrown head down ward, without any possibility of extricating herself. The mother, though saved from destruction by a beam, had one of her arms so tight ly wedged under it that she could only just touch the child’s head with the tips of her fingers. After hanging in that position for thirty hours, continually crying to her mother for help, she died in convul sions. Mme. Rapelli would pro bably have perished of hunger and cold if a hen had not come within the reach of her free hand. She seized and strangled it, plucked it with her teeth, and placed the feathers under her neck, which was in contact with the snow. Then she devoured the fowl just as it was. After remaining thus impris oned nearly 60 hours she was got out by a rescue party and carried into a stable hard by, where a short time ago she lay in a condition bor dering on insanity.

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. _ Now let the good work go on till Georgia is free from this greaf curse.

With respect to civil service re form, President Cleveland reiterates and strengthens the declarations he has already made in behalf of that law, and there is no doubt that he will make an effort to enforce its provisions—an effort that will be distinguished by qualities which have been totally lacking in the ef forts of the republican administra tion, namely, earnestness, honesty and conscientiousness.

Sassafras Tea lad I One of our young friends, well known for his genial ^nd social characteristics, says that he has been the first to test the beneficial effects of prohibition. He says that it has been his custom to keep a bottle of the best old rye for Sun day morning’s use, and his friends could usually be seen, early in fine, on that sacred day, wending their way to the Mecca of their hopes— bis room. The Sunday after the adaption of prohibition, he had a large pot of sassafras tea prepared to order, and quietly awaited the coming of hit friends. Soon they began to arrive, and when the usual inquiry of "anything to drink’’ was heard, he pointed to the sassafras tea. One by one they walked np and tasted the new beverage, and then one by one' remarked that “it was about time for ’ church services to commence.” He started six to church last Sunday morning, and that he will go himself next A BRIGHT PROSPECT. OtmrtBgVIsmcatlisIaooialBg Adalalstrstion [A. B. Lamar, la Maeon Telegraph.] 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 tions at the South. It is held that there can be no good government in that section without a clean 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.

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. TRY IT DESELP, .

The prohibitionists, thorough ly alive to the work before them held an all night session in the Ma sonic hall. Speeches were made, and old men, young men, as well as the ministers of the city, offered up eloquent petitions to the Great Rul er above for help on the morrow Daybreak found them with ranks unbroken, a solid phalanx, ready and easier for the work that would free their county from the demon alcohol. As soon the polls opened 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 men could not stand, and so at 2 o’clock in the day gave up a con test of which they had been unusu ally confident of victory up to the day of election. The Banner-Watchman kept open until the telegraph office clos ed and the very latest we could get was that the county went for Pro hibition by 412 majority. Score an other victory. 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. m 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. Lawrenceville, March 5,1885. Judge Hutchins is presiding over the Superior Court at his own home this week. This was also the home of his distinguished father, Hon. N. L. Hutchins, Sr., who so long and so ably filled the office of Judge of the Superior Court. Lawrenceville is a pleasant and prosperous town, now having rail road connection with the work! by its road to Suwanee, which con nects at that point with the Air- Line. It also has telegraphic com munication. In the town is an excellent newspaper, owned and ed ited by Col. T.M. Peeples, and pub lished by Mr. John T. Wilson. It has a flourishing school and several churches; a number of mercantile and business houses, hotels, &c.; 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. Spear, charged with assault with intent to commit rape, was tried and convicted of assault, and sen tenced to a fine of $150, or twelve months on the chain-gang. A negro plead guilty to the charge of horse-stealing, and was sentenced to six years in the peni tentiary. Another to the offence of burglary, and was sentenced for 3 years. Several other cases of different kinds were tried and disposed of. novelties in Jewelry. Tortoise shell pins studded with glistening stones are worn in the hair.

Lancaster, Pa., Feb. 28.—At a sale of ex-President Buchanan’s ef fects last summer George Kreiner, a fish dealer of this city, bought a small bag containing a lot of min erals, paying 25 cents for the pur chase. Recently he examined the ore and, noticing that some of it had the glitter of gold about' it, he pulverised just one pound of it, by actual weight, and took jt to Ed- ward J. Zahm.a prominent jeweler of this city, who put the ore in a smelting furnace. The result was a gold button, the residuem of the ore, tor which Mr. Zahm offered Mr. Krejner $10.90, its actual value.

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.

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.
