Unc-le Jack Collins, the veteran guard to the portals of the grand jury room, is at his post this week. Judge Fain evidently means to make this a strictly business term.

With Mr. Franklin the r< sponsibilities of this office is not new to him ; it is like stepping into harness that are ma le to fit by "constant use and and careful wear, so long has he been associated with the sheriffalty *f Bartow county. Indeed, so long has Mr. Franklin beau connected with the office the mention of the one uat urally suggests the other- He is always faithful, clever, genial and accommo dating. Mr. Williams, the new deputy, comes to the office with experience in that pai ticular line of duty, but his good business judgment and experience will soon make him an efficient official. His friends bank on his making as good a deputy sheriff as he did a justice of the peace. If he does he will be first-class. Mr. VV. W. Roberts, the retiring sheriff, and John A. Gladden, his deputy, turn the office over in the best of shape. Mr. Roberts leaves a record as sheriff for effi ciency and faithfulness to duty that is unsurpassed in the history of the county, He was at all times careful in the dis charge of his duties, neglecting not the slightest detail ot the office. He was courteous and accommodating, His ad ministration was a most satisfactory one and pup that he can always look back upon with commendable pride Private Boarding House.

A Watch Whose History Runs Back Over one Hundred Years. We have been shown an old silver watch by Mr. Charles Howard, that, be sides being a good substantial piece of property, has a good record of over a hu.aired years. It belonged to tbp father of the late Felix Franklin, and has passsd down to its present owner. Mr. Felix Franklin at his death, was near a hundred yefffs o|d and carried the watch for a long time. It .is a quaint old piece of antiquity, very large, with thick, projecting crystal that looks some thing like a bull’s eye lantern. In old tigiea when a watch was repaired the jeweler would p}ape hjs ‘imprint,” or card inside the oase, printed ou a piece of paper the size of the case. This watch has three or four of these. Mr. Mouutcastie, who is authority ou the subject, says there is probability but oue other piece of mechanism of the kind in this section. It keeps good time and bids fair to record the millenium.

Peacock Comes to the Front With Several Startling Fact* in Regard to Our Minerals. In the last issue of the Baltimore Manufacturers' Record, Capt. D. W. K. Peacock has an article, iu which he de fends the quality of the iron and man ganese ores of this section, as against an article iu the Iron Age, of New York, charging that they were of an inferior character. He says : “In the Iron Age, of New York, of lfith iust., appeared an article antago nizing the iron and manganese of this part of our State, in which it was claimed that the quality is so poor that there is no market for it, aud that the only good ore is that owned aud operated by the Dade Coal Company, of which Jos. E. Brown is proprietor. Why any one wouid write such an article is a mystery to me. Is it possible that the one who did so is simply misled, or is it from in terested motives ? Surely it cannot be the former, because I cannot think any responsible party would write so grave an article simply from heresay evideuce, because responsible men only write what they know to be true. Then if from in terested motives, where does the motive aud the interest come in ? Was it writ ten by some one who desires to cry down onr property for the purpose of getting it at a lower price than it is now held ? I cannot account for it on any other hypothesis, aud if this be correct, then the motive is a most unworthy one. Now for the facts. We have brown iron ore in great abuudauce and of tine quality. So abundant that there are plenty of places where a thousand tons per day might be mined for the next ten years, and to show its quality I quote from Prof. H. C. White, State Chemist at the University of Athens, Ga. Sample brown iron ore furnished by A. R. McCutcheu. Metalift iron.... 61.100 per ct. Sulphur O.OOS “ “ Phosphorous ... ... 060 “ “ Sample gray iron ore by same party. Metallic iron 64.500 per ct.

C. White, of the State University at Athens, Cn., from samples of ore obtained from the mines by A. K. McCutcheu, geologist, and I imagine it would be hard for the correspondent of the Iron Age to find two men who stand more highly than do these gentlemen, and I am very sure any mau who understood his business would be slew iu questioning their reports. I do not own any of these lands or mines, but as a citizen of this State I feel I would be .derelict in my duty were I to let so gross a statement pass without notice. D. W. K. Peacock. For Sale.

This time it has taken a beautiful and sweet little babe, the daughter of our nearest neighbors and best friends, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Irick. As I looked upon the beautiful face of the little sleeper, (for she locked as natu ral as when she slept,) my heart went out in sympathy for the bereaved parents and relatiyes. I could imagine how lone ly they would all feel, hut the saddest of all will be that devoted mother, who, many and many times, will clasp it in imagination to her warm, loving heart. Many will be the nights she will feel the warm little form huddling close to her side, as she sleeps and dreams ot her an gelic darling. The greatest consolation is, that it is relieved of its sufferings, and now rests in the bosom of Him who gave. Now they have one more inducement for them to hold out faithful to the end. I know not of a couple who can more sincerely say: “The Lord giveth, and the Lord has taken away: blessed be the name of the Lord.” Fannie Battle Irick was born 28th of July, 1886. Died the 15th of Doc., 1886. “I take this little l.irab, said He, And lay her in my breast ; Protection she s'-ail And in Me, In Me, be ever ble-sed. His words the happv parents hear, And shout with joys divine; O, Savior, all we h v.\ and are, shall be lorever Thine.” Massdale, Jan. 12, Crofton. A Nortliwestern Patriot. We have just received a letter from a patriotic citizen of Granville, Ohio, en closing remittance for a continuance of his subscription to the Courant, in which he says: “I am as much interested in the South as in the North, and I hope the time will soon come when there will be no seotional feeling or waving of the bloody shirt for political ends or any other purpose. Jt can he no patriotic or Christian spirit that is interested in keeping up sectional strife or hatred, and I think all goo l people of the North are as ready to praise the piogressive quali ties aud grand achievements of the South as they are of their own part of the country.” This conservative Westerner is tilled with a spirit that is not universal in his section, but one that is growing ; and fU lch credit is due to his sort for its spread.

BARTOW’S BULLETIN. OUR CORRESPONDENTS NOTE THE INCIDENTS OF THEIR NEIGH BORHOODS. And Dish Then Up in a Delectable Shape For Our Reader*. Adairsville Notes. The new year ojiens upon us finding our people cheerful, acd generally in a better condition than for some years past. There was not the unlimited credit given the farmere last year. Crops were made on the.resources of the farm, and not on supplies purchased at the bankrupt rates of credit. The result is, that compara tively few of our farmers have those fear ful things known as lien netes to pay off. It may have beeu hard to deny one’s sell the pleasure of giving the children and the good wife an extra dress or two; it may have been harder work to make ma nure at home and let the humbug fertiliz ers alone, but the sweet realization of no debts mrkes the fire burn brigiiter, and the wife happier and the heart of the old man lighter these cold winter days. Just another year or two of self-denial, of steady work, and careful,economical and judicious farm management, and this paat of Bartow county w ill be independent, prosperous and happy. God grant it. The merchants at Adairsville are very cheerful. While they say that 3alcs have not been as laige, quite, as when the credit plan whs their portion, yet collec tions are easily made, and but few of these to run down. Messrs,Earl & McCollum haye dissolved, McCollum continuing at the old stand, while Mr. Earl occupies the store house of Col. Gray, in which he has fitted up a convenient arid comfortable postoffice. We wish those gentlemen, in their sin gleness, the prosperity they enjoyed when yoked together. We have no clever a citizen than E. B. E irl; none that is more lull of laudable enterprise and pro gressive spirit. There is much being said of the new railroad from Rome to Gainesville. Letters received here give the assurance that the route via Adairsville, Pine Log and Ball Ground will be surveyed shortly. This will certainly give Rome an excellent feeder aud open one of the finest and most productive countries in the State. Our people are strongly alive to the importance of building the road and will do all that can in reason be expected of them. The new town council organized by electing J. F. Dyar chairman and lien D.

Will is a young man of great promise. His many friends here wish him the success which will certainly crown his energies and sterling character. The health of the < o nmunitv is excel lent, and onr girls as pretty as a clear mountain sky, fresh air and joyous hearts can make them. m Hall’s Mills Doings, Well Christmas has come and gone and another year is upon us, we have had a very nice time during the holidays eating nice dinners, hunting with our friends and amusing ourselves with visitors from abroad, sucb as Messrs. George and John Sherman from Louisiana who were raised in our midst, Mr. Wood and family, from Cedartown, Mr. Dantzler, of Alabama, Mrs. Burns and son of Gordon county, and several others. When such visitors as the above mentioned come in, we can have a nice time, if the most of our young folks have moved off. Mr. James Harris, of Kingston, one of our former Sunday school superinten dents, met with our school on Sunday in Christmas and gave us quite an interest ing talk upon the subject “Time,” which was very appropriate tor the occasion, his speecli was yery pointed and deiiyered in splendid style, besides there were several of his scholars that had grown up and moved off into other countries several years ago, and had come back to spend the holidays with us, wnich made the oc casion very interesting. We hope Mr. H. will come to see us often. Mr. Joe Shaw, of this place was mar ried to Miss Annie Dantzler, of Kingston, a few days before Christmas. They have gone to Collinsville, Ala., to spend a few weeks with the family of the bride’s father. We extend to them our heartiest congratu lations and best wishes for their future life. Mr. T. S. Edwards, one of Hall’s most prominent young men, is selling goods lor Mr. Gillam, of Kingston. It is our loss and Kingston’s gain We wish him much success. Mr. Edwards is making quite an im provement on our town, macadamizing the sidewalks, cross streets, etc., also pre paring to put a bridge across the creek, something ihat has long been needed. We heard one of our farmers say, “a man that will go on another man’s place with his fine breech loading gun and pointer dog and kill his birds when he knows it is strictly forbidden, may be be a gentle man, but he doubts it.” Mrs. James Burns and her charming litile daughter, Nellie, are visiting rela tives in Rome. As unlikely as the weather was last Sunday evening, our new pastor for this year met a small congregation and preached a yery Impressive sermon. We like his style and length very much. Boh Bail.

THE COLORED RACE IN LUCK. Ex-Gov Wzrmoth's former ConcliitaD Se cures One-Tenth of the Capital Prize of $150,000 in The Louisiana State Lottery. In the recent drawing of T' ; Louisiana State Lottery Cos., held on the !4tn inst., j No. 93,174 won the capital prize, and part ! of this ticket, it was announced, had been sold in the city of New Orleans. Next day Mr. Bendernagel, an esteemed local notary public, announced over his signa ture that he had been paid, “on account of one of his clients.'’ the amount due for one-tenth of the capital prize. There was a find, but it was evident from the tenor of the certificate that the winner did not desire the publication of his name. Was it nly a bluff? Here was the rub. But the Pelican is a fly bird, and not easily caught with chaff. It had determined to probe the mystery to the bottom, and it wbs going to do it. It meant to beat the daisy reporters of the great daily papers, and it has done it. It instituted a still hunt, and after patunt. search it* succeed ed. The man who won the $15,000 lives, exists, and has a being. His name is Dan iel Jones. lie is a colored man of excel lent reputation, and resides on Gasquet street, and can be seen at his place of bus iness at Theo. Dumas’ furniture store, No. 257 Royal street, where he is at pres ent employed. The Pelican regrets not to have as yet made the acquaintance of a m m upon whom fortune has so deserved ly smiled, but it did the next best thing tb it by seeing his wife, Mr. Jones not be ing at home. Mrs. Joues, who was just moving into her new residence, was found to be a comely and intelligent lady of perhaps 35 years of age. She received the Pelican very kindly, and cheerfully furnished ali the information in her power. Her husband, who is 57 . yea- 3of had not told her where he purchase., his ticket, not anything about it. until the golden shower poured into their laps so unpeetedly, and just in the nick of time, a mortgage upon their property of $1,200 having been foreclosed, and they having befen in imminent danger of losing it. Her husband was born in Louisville, Ky., but had lived in this city for many years. He had always beeu a hard-working la boring man, had worked for railroads for many years, and had been employed in the Custom-house and United States Mint. He had also been the private coach man of ex-Governor Warmoth, but Mrs. Jones did not care to haye this fact men tioned, as ifmight hurt their reputation as old and respectable citizens. The Pel ican, however, begs pardon of the lady for mentioning the fact, even against her wish, it being fully germaine to the sub ject, and whatever may be the ex-Gover nor’s merits or demerits, there could no disgrace attach to honest laboi,even in his employ. Mrs. Jones herself was born and bred in this city, and was a Miss Jones before she married. They had been married for a number of years, and had two children,, boys, of 16 and 12 years respectively, who haye been attending Straight University. While grateful to a kind Providence for this bountiful gift, these good and deserv ing people appe tr to have in no wise “got above themselves” by then- good luck. They have kept right on working, and have not even as yet marked out any plan for the employment of their wealth, except that Mr. Jones has resolved upon a visit to Louisville, where resides his on ly living relative, a sister, whom he baa not seen for twenty years. It would thus appear that fortune, al though described as blind, has not made at mistake this time, but that her blessing have fallen iuto the hands of worthy peo ple, who will know how to make a good and sensible use of them.—New Orleans (La.)

PHYSICIANS AND DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND IT. •# ft- About twenty years ago I discovered a little sore on my cheek, and the doctors pro nounced it cancer. I have tried a number of physicians, out without receiving any perma nent benefit. Among the number were one or two specialists. The medicine tney applied was like fire to the sore, causing intense pain. I saw a statement in the papers telling what S. S. S. had done for others similarly afflicted. I procured some at once. Before f had need the second bottle the neighbors could notice that my cancer was healing np. My general health had been oad for two or three years—l had a hacking cougn and spit blood contin ually. I had a severe pain in my breast. After taking six bottles of S. S. 3. my cough left me I grew stouter than I had been for several years. My cancer has healed over all bet a little spot about the size of a half dime, and it is rapidly disappearing. I would advise every one with cancer to give S. S. S. a fair trial. Mrs, NANCY J.
