Jones, a well-to do farmer, was waylaid and killed lor his money. No clue to the murderer at last accounts. The North Georgia Conference of the M. E. Church South, met at Milledgeville yesterday—Bishop Keener presiding. The conference will be invited to hold its next sesssion in Cartersville. We hope the disgusting scones of the late judicial elections —and some of their unfortunate results —will not fade from the, memory of our legislators before any steps are taken to correct the grow ing evil by changing the mode of select ing judges and solicitors. Charlie Echols, of Covington, charged with the murder of Thomas and Cohen, had his preliminary trial last week, and was committed to jail to await trial by Superior court. Cohen is still alive and improving, and it is supposed he has already said things that make it dark for Echols. We can’t bear fawning and boot-lick ing, but there’s no use throwing vitriol in the eyes ol Gen. Harrison because he beat us. Independence and manliness is not made manifest by bluster and black guardism. A few —very few —of our Georgia brethren are rendering them selves ridiculous by their so-called fore cast of Harrison's Southern policy. The St. Louis Globe and Chicago Tribune deserve the censure of all fair minded men of all sections for their infa mous attempts to renew race prejudices in the South, arid rekindle the smoulder ing embers of sectionalism. They are evidently opening up old barrels of lies that had served their purpose in more exciting times and been snowed under by indisputable refutation. There is one thing for which the good people of this city should be thankful; Since prohibition went into effect, not a single man who was in the liquor busi ness in this city has vioiated the law. Every one of them has proven loyal to the result of the prohibition election, and lias so faithfully abided it that not even the faintest suspicion has rested against them. What other city in all the* land can boast such a record?—Rome Herald. The Maine men seem to think that Mr. Blaine wants to be Secretary of State in the next cabinet very much indeed. They all want it for him. They say that Gen. Harrison has been inform ed of their desires, but they admit that lie has received no intimation as yet from Gen. Harrison. However, they console themselves with the fond belief that Gen. Harrison cannot affor.d not to appoint Mr. Blaine, now that he knows Blaine wants the place. The Evening Herald, of Rome, Ga., is one of our most valued exchanges. It sensibly fills the field there for an even ing journal—catching up the passing events of the day, and placing them before its readers in an easy, graphic style that renders it alway’s attractive. When Bro. Martin touches deep subjects editorially, he evinces thorough acquain tance with the subject in hand. The Herald reflects credit upon its live pub lishers and is a paper that Rome should liberally support. The following are votes of the States named for President, according to the official count: South Carolina—-Cleve land (55,825, Harrison 13,740—Demo cratic majority 52,085; Connecticut Cleveland 74,920, Harrison 74,684, Fiske 4,284, labor 540—Cleveland’s plurality 336; Virginia —Cleveland 151,977, Har rison 150,442—Cleveland's majority 1,535. We are strengthened in our be lief that Cleveland and tariff reform re ceived a plurality of tiie popular vote of the United States. Gen. Harrison may not have decided what course he is going to pursue with regard to the South, but he has decided what he is going to do about going to church on Sundays. He doesn’t propose to have a crowd rush to any particular church to see him, so he has concluded to rent pews in several churches, and nobody will know where he is going to worship. All ot the churches in which he will rent pews, however, will be Presbyterian. The General is said to be a firm believer in predestination, and probably ho would stoutly maintain that, no matter what he did or said, he would have been nom inated for President and elected. Last Thursday was a big day at Augusta. The Governors, Legislators, etc., of this State and South Carolina met there. The main attraction ot the day was an oration by Henry W. Grady, and it was about the best speech he has yet made. It was a grand oration in many respects —evincing not only the outgushings of a true, patriotic heart, but the deep thought of a philosopher and the erudition of a well ba anced statesman. The New York Court of Appeals has declared unconstitutional and void the acts of the Legislature to annul the char ters and franchises of Sharp’s Broadway and Seventh avenue railroad in New York City, and Sharp’s estates and the estate of others engaged in buying and stealing that splendid property from the Legisla tvre and Aldermen, will by this adjudica tion gain some millions of dollars. New York courts send a forger of mortgages to prison for a quarter of a century, re lease an alderman from prison sent for seven years for selling out the property and rights of 2,000,000 people, and sus tain the theft as good and sound in New York law and policy, all within three weeks. GreatisNew York law; and what a moral people are New Yorkers ! MK. VICNABLE’S BILL. Mr. Venable’s bill to amend the law regulating fees lor legal advertising, so as to leave the matter of this service open to bids between different news papers, is not a good bill —though in troduced with the best intention. This whole subject was thoroughly canvassed before the present law was passed; and tlie bill finally adopted has worked well. The fees allowed now are reasonable and just—as low as any well prepared paper can afford —and it would prove to the injury of estates if little second-class papers without circulation should do the work, even at half the present rates. If the law takes a hand in this matter at all —and we think it should—then the line should be drawn at stated figures, and all parties be governed thereby. Mr. Venable’s law would only bring about the old trouble and confusion, which the present law was intended to remedy. The bill should be permanetly tabled,. Til E I’jv |<> i. iIX ! .H M ‘ GE. President {'Fvrhi nil's niM.-.-nge was read Monday. 1; is an aiiiiu! a. >* docu ment —taking np and dealing v%. r ! i the countn’s varied interests ia a clear, business-like manner. It evinces the fact that he possesses the courage of his convictions, and that no reverses of personal political fortunes can drive him from a line of duty once conscientiously marked out. In a comprehensive and yet not bur densome way the President points out the dangers to be apprehended from monopoly, reaffirms the necessity of tariff reform, and urges congress to give it- immediate attention to our fisheries t on des. The other portions of the. mes s' ige are in the nature of a review of the i .‘Qpat course of the administration, and a nummary of the reports from the vari ous departments of the government. There is no gush or fulminating filigree about the document, but it covers all the ground in a practical, business-like way. THE DEPARTMENT REPORTS. Secretary Eudieott made his report to the President of the administration of the War Department during the fiscal year ending June 30th last. Total ex penditures were $41,165,107. The ap propriations for the current fiscal year amount to $59,679,934, and the esti mates for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1890, aggregates44,632,so7, as follows: Salaries and contingent expenses, sl,- 978,890; military establishment, support of the army and the military academy, $25,293,372; public works, including river and harbor improvements. $13,- 785,234; miscellaneous objects, $3,575,- 010. The estimates for river and harbor im provement represent the probable cost of such improvements, if approved by Con gress. The Secretary called attention to our defenceless coasts, and concludes by re commending the provision for an assist ant Secretary of War. Postmaster General Dickinson’s report is a full review of that branch of the Gov ernment pertaining to the mails. The gross revenue for the year was $52,695,- 176. The total expenditures, inclusive of liabilities for the year, unpaid, and embracing Hie amount for transporta tion of mails on the Pacific railroads, for which the Government receives a credit, were $56885,403. The estimated defi ciency, therefore, is $4,190,227. The total estimated gross receipts for the year ending June3o,lßß9, are $57,392,- 576. The amount appropriated for the service of this year, is $60,860,233, or an excess over the amount of revenue esti mated of $3,467,657, which will be drawn from the general treasury should the total jfmount be needed. The total es timated gross receipts for the year ending June 30, 1890, are $62,508,658. The probable amount of the expenditure to be made in carrying on the business of the postal service for the year endiug June 30/1890, as shown by estimates, submitted to the Secretary of the Treas ury, is $65,802,073. The deficiency to be supplied from the general treasury is, therefore, $3,334,145. The total number of postoffices is 57,- 376, an increase over 1885 of 6,124. The adjustment of July 1, 1888, estab lished 97 offices of the first class, 497 of the second class, and 1,908 of the third class, making the total number of presi dential offieec at the date last named of 2*502. The gross receipts of presidential offices for the four quarters ending March 31.1888, show an increase of $3,322,826. as compared with the adjustment of July 1, 1887. During the past year 791 persons, of ficials, employes of the department and others, were arrested for various offenses against the postal laws and regulations. GRAB.MDALK. Bro. White gladdened the upper Grass dale people by his presence. He gave us one of his happiest talks, paid his whole charge, a most glowing tribute, spoke feelingly of the way in which he had been received and treated and expressed him self as having spent two of his happiest years among us. I have never seen a charge who regret more ‘to give up a pastor. ‘He has made himself dear to all, and no matter where his lot may be cast, the prayers and good Wishes of this w hole people will follow him. John Rowland who has been railroad ing near Augusta, is at home quite sick, Albert Weems and family are visiting relatives at his old horn* . On Wednesday night last, at a negro frolic, two young bucks became enraged, and one Jim Henderson pulled out a razor and went to work on All Wilson, inffictingseveral slight cuts and one quite severe on the arm, from which the blood poured profusely. Dr. Griffin attended to the wounds, and next morning he was hauled to his home. I have heard of no arrests as yet. Master Ecca Weems and younger brother, of Atlanta, came to Mrs. Weeni’s on Saturday. Ecca came up to be re ceived into the church at Cassville. He returned to his home on Sunday evening. Capt. and Mrs. Brown spent the day with the family of J. 0. Herring* Urofton. ADA IIW VILLE A little man (of the brunette type) with a large noi -<‘,*;ime down the street u( a 2:-D ga■ • . -I"earning fire! fire! All sizes and shape- of humanity responded to this cu!i. F> >3l owing the small man to the scene, no f ; e was discovered, as it had been put on; ilter doing small dam age to the rooi < r Mr. MeDow's residence. There is no need of a fire department when our little man is around. An engineer on tins railroad under the name of Ducket, has been in the habit of using his whistlein an unwarranted way. Through this carelessness on the part of said railroad employe, there came near being a serious accident above town a few days since. If this imposition is re peated those concerned will see what pro tection there is in the law. The construction cars are here, and our depot opens its arms. A. M. C. The Baptist church has recently ex changed pastors. For two years Rev. W. M. Dyer has labored with general ac ceptance and proven himself a strong doctrinal preacher, but on re-election a few days ago, he declined to serve longer. Rev. W. H. Cooper, of Cartersville, then held a very successful meeting with the church, assisted by Rev. G. S. Tumlin, of Marietta. Fourteen have been baptised, sixteen received by letter, and the church and congregation greatly strengthened. The church has now raised almost twice as much for pastoral support as in any past year of its history, and called Rev Wm. Henry Strickland, of Atlanta, for one Sunday in the month and Saturday before. It is confidently expected that he will accept. The church has a bright future before it. A famous Washington gambler, it is said, will soon go to preaching. He would have begun it ten .\ears ago, but he has only just now found a cure for his cough. It is Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup. Tiiat hacking couon can be so quick ly cured by Shiloh s Cure. We guaran tee it. For sale by J. R. Wikie & Cos., Cartersville, and J, M.

And then we t all them dead.” “He leaves our hearts all desolate— * He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers Transplinted Into bliss, th4y now Adorn immortal bowers.” Again has the “Angel with silent tread” borne from our midst a member of our church and Sunday school. Emma E. Stocks, eldest daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Stocks, died in Car tersville Xov. 19th, 1888, aged 18 years. Of a bright sunny nature, she met life’s trials bra vely, and made herself a blessing to those around her. How sadly she is missed from the home circle, they who are left there only can tell. For al most a year we have missed her from the Sunday school, and often would come the message from her, ”1 hope to be with vou soon,” but she will meet us here no more, for God has willed other wise. With a spirit chastened and sweetened by suffering, she calmly yielded herself to her Savior, and with the same sweet smile with which she bade her loved ones good bye here, she will greet them on a fairer shore. Resolved by the First Baptist Sunday school. First, That in the death of Emma Stocks we have lost a faithful member. That while young she gave her heart to Jesus, and she has not left us without the assurance that she lias gained the inheritance of all those who love and trust Him. Second, That as a Sunday school we cherish her memory, and while we miss and mourn our companion, we will pray God to sanctify this affliction to His glory. Third, That these resolutions be recorded on our minute book. That a copy be sent the be reaved lamily, and they be published in the Courant-American.

Cartersville, Ga-., December, 1888. Pay Your Tax and Yote. A S I UNDERSTAND THE LAW, I AM required to furnish the County Commis sioners a list of the registered voters ten days before the January election, which takes place on the 2d day January, 1889. Therefore, I can not register any names for that election after the 22 and day of December. Young men who have become of age, and old men who are not due any tax should nave their names registered so they can vote if they desire. This is a duty the law requires me to perform, aud I hope the people will feel interested enough to attend to the re quirements of the law. I wish every legal voter to exercise that privilege if he so desires, and if I make mistakes I am always sorry when I find I have done so. Again, the Legislature last year passed an act requiring tax collectors To issue two fl. fa’s, against persons due poll and property tax, and while I can see no good reason for the law, I have no discretion in the matter, but must comply with the law.
