Petition for New Militia District GEORGIA—Bartow County: To Hon J A Howard, Ordinary of said County: The uudersitrned, resident citi zens of the 827th district, Georgia Militia, Bartow county, Georgia, residing in the northeastern portion of said Militia Dis trict, respectfully represent to your Honor that a large number of the residents of said part of said District are eight miles from the justice court ground and voting precinct, and are compelled to cross the Pine Log mountain and Balacoa creek, and said creek when swollen is unpass able, making it inconvenient as well as a burden to them in going to the court ground and voting precinct. And your petitioners conceive it to be necessary and expedient to lay out anew Militia District off of said 827t1i District, G.

Your petitioners further represent that \\ ithin the said portion of said district there is sufficient population and persons subject to militia duty to authorize the es ablisliing anew district as provided by law. Wherefore your petititioners pray that Your Honor appoint three commis sioners, citizens of said 827th district, to lay out and define the l ; nes and boundary of said New District, and such other order and proceedings as are necessary and law ful to cary out the objects petitioned for, and your petitioners will ever pray, &e.

BEST, m 3-3 m A BACHELOR. I lead nty quiet life alone; I am not cynical or bitter. N_ vela I like —am always prone To waste the time I could use litter. I like a song—my barytone You'd hardly think was one time pleasie? I tike a pretty face; but groan To think of nieces, noise and teasing. i Poems I read and sometimes -/rite; (You see I frankly tell my failings.) Time was when I would oft indite To one—who found them 'neath the railings— But that was long ago. To-night I've fallen into retrospection; It can not lie —and yet it might— That that girl's voice gave thought direction. I bear it rise. I hear it fall. A happy voice iu idle chaffer; I lean my head against the wall And close my ears to such light matter. I know her lover, young and tall. And very, very fond of dancing. I know her, too —not large or small, Or, to my mind, at all entrancing. Nearer it comes. How like (great Heaven!) How like a voice I once knew better. When in my room tit's thirty-seven) I'll hunt that last long tender letter. I wonder if her life’s hud leaven Of care and pain. Do ills beset her? I wonder if I'm quite forgiven. Or does she think I quite forget her? Or is she placid, old and dull, Without one thought of me and folly? Or is her life of joy so full That now she seems (she was not) jolly? Well: I'm a fool. That young girl's chatter Has turned my thoughts to hours long faded. Her lover loves his love to flatter; So did I when we promenaded. Dear me ! how long ago that was! 'Tis years since e'en I've thought about it. She was a winsome, dark-eyed lass. And always won me when she pouted. She knew the art of good effects, Of downcast eyes and sudden changing; Heigh® J a mist is o'er my specs, This cold night air is quite deranging. ♦ * * * * * * So, like a rare old book that's hid In monkish solitude for ages, Till accident betrays its lid, And gives to light the sacred pages, The past in life's dull cloister laid.

HELEN LAKEMAN; OR, — The Story of a Young Girl’s Strug gle With Adversity. BY JOHN R. MUSICK, Author op “The Danker of Bedford,” “Walter Brownfield," Etc. [Copyright, isse, by A. N. Kellogg Newspaper Co.] CHAPTER IX.—CONTINUED. “That bracelet was gold,” said Airs. Arnold, mysteriously, her naturally large,white eyes expanding 1 to an unus ual size; “It was gold and worth a heap. Now, gold bracelets don’t walk off of their own accord.” “I’m a goin’ to search every thing about this house,” said Ilallie. “I would,” acquiesced the mother. “I am goin’ to search that girl’s things, too. “Yes, I would,” said Mrs. Arnold, sitting in her eliair and bobbing her head approvingly. “If you can’t find it anywhere else search her, but search every place first; I am not going to have a thief about my house,” said the firm father at the front door of the house, snapping his whip at some vines. “Well, it's nowhere here,” said Ilal lie, her red face assuming a look of vexation. “Now I'm going to the kitchen and look in that girl's carpet bag.” “Oh, rio,” said the mother, a faint smile on her face. “it will make Helen mad.” “I don’t care, I am goin’ to have my bracelet,” and, her mother close after her, she bolted in the kitchen. “Hel en,” she said, “I'm goin’ to look among your things.” “What for?” the astonished girl asked. “My gold bracelet, worth twenty dollars, is gone.” “Well, Miss Arnold, I have not got it,” cried Helen, her eyes Hashing. “I will see for myself,” and she seized the old carpet bag which sat where Helen had placed it that morn ing. Tearing it open, she pulled out the clothing of Helen and her brother, much to the indignation of the “hired girl.” Halite’s mother stood in the doorway entreating her daughter to desist. “No, I won't,” and she jerked out a small bundle of handkerchiefs which unrolled, and something bright and heavy fell upon the floor. It lifts a gold bracelet. Ilallie seized it in triumph, but Helen was dumb with astonish ment. A cry from mother and daugh ter brought Mr. Arnold to the kitchen. “She—she is the thief,” cried Ilallie, holding up the bracelet and pointing to Helen. A mist came before Helen’s eyes, Iter head swam and she sank insensible to the floor. CHAPTER X. THE ARREST. The tableaux was a striking one. Mrs. Arnold held up both hands in hot* ror; Hallie stood triumphant with her bracelet in one hand, and the linger of scorn pointed at Helen, who sank be fore her awful accusation. Mr. Arnold alone, of all, was calm and unmoved. He knew his duty as a good citizen in sucli cases, and allowed no foolish emotions to come between himself and that duty. Little Amos, who had only partially realized what had happened, and yet knew it was something terrible, burst into tears. Mr. Arnold, with features 11 ELKX ACCUSED. as imperturbable as stone, walked to ward the boy and, laying a hand so heavy upon his shoulders tvs to almost bentl the little body double, said : ‘•See here, sir, wo want none of that noise, do you understand me now ? you just hush that up.” “Oh, sister—sister is dead,” sobbed the child. “No, she is not. She will recover soon enough; now you must keep quiet.” Turning to his wife, who stood in a stupefied manner at the door, her face turinal upward, he added: “You had better look now and see what else is gone. We don’t know but half the silverware is stolen.” “Oh, sister, sister!” cried the little boy, sobbing and holding his out stretched hands toward the insensible Helen. “Had I not letter do something to restore her?’ 1 asked Mrs. Arnold, who was really agitated. • No, she will recover soon enough —all that is put on. 11 “I ot me sprinkle a little water in her face ?” “Hunt your silver spoons, 11 cried Mr. Arnold, “and let her alone! I'll war rant die’ll recoverall right.” The suggestion to sprinkle some water in her face seemed to strike the bov favorably, and he began to strug gle from the chair in which he was sit ting. Either the excitement or partial paralvsis of his limbs caused him to fall from the chair to the floor. “Oh my back ! 1 have hurt my back,” cried the little cripple. No one seemed to care if he had. though the child cried out with the most intense agony. Mrs. Arnold was rumaging through her silverware as though she was not certain it was all there, and little Amos struggled to his feet, and by holding to chairs reached a pitcher containing some water, and dashed the contents in his sister's face. “Sister! sister!” lie cried, most pit ifully, “come to yourself again, won’t you? lam sure Helen is dead.” All tin* iron in Mr. Arnold's nature could not keep little Amos from shed ding tears over his sister. Helen began to revive. She started up in a dazed sort of a way, unnoticed and uneared for by any one save her ■; rippled brother. She made an effort to rise to her feet, and, linding her head tizzy, sank down in a chair and placing her arm around the back, laid her head upon it and sobbed violently. “Sister, sister!” cried little Amos, who was now unconscious of the pain his back gave him, “do look up!—are you better ?” ICI 111 “sister! sister!” he cried, most PITIFULLY. “She’ll be better soon,” said the deep rasping voice of Mr. Arnold, while his chili seemed a degree higher in the air, and his mouth was close as a steel trap, Helen heard the bitter taunt, and all her noble soul aroused, she cried : “Judge Arnold, I never put that bracelet in my carpet-bag. I never stole it, I am innocent, and you know it.” “Oh yes,” and the chin and short roan whiskers rose higher, “1 have seen many as equally innocent; I never heard one plead guilty on the lirst accusation.” “Some of your own family put that jewel in my carpet bag to ruin me, ' sobbed Helen. “O dear,” cried Hallic, with tri umphant irony. “That’s an old dodge,” said the man in the doorway. “A thief is always imagining that somebody’s trying to ruin his character. Now, that bracelet is worth twenty dollars; you will have to explain how the stolen property got into your possession, or you may get into trouble.” “Judge Arnold,” said Helen, rising and bringing all the energy which she felt in her case required at her com mand, “I swear, so help me Heaven! that I never touched that bracelet since my mother owned it. It was put in my carpet bag by other hands than mine.” “Helen Lakeman,” said Mrs. Arnold, confronting the beautiful girl, with her head high in the air, “it is bail enough for you to steal a bracelet without add ing perjury to your crime.” Helen was shocked. She realized how hopeless was her condition. She had been completely trapped. Every thing was against her, and yet she was innocent. It was no use to accuse these people, whose standing in society was higher than her own, of putting the bracelet in her carpet bag to ruin her. No one would believe her. Helen, with a firmness born of despair, sat down in her chair again. All the emotion attendant upon the first shock being gone, she was calm. Her calmness could be called either con scious innocence, or the brazen indif ference of a guilty soul. “Do your worst,” she said, “I am in your power.” “What do you think we would want to ruin your character for?” sneered Hallie, rubbing her bracelet to get oft the stain of the “thief's fingers,” “do you suppose wo find you in our way ?” Helen was silent, it was useless to exchange words with these people. “I don’t think a young girl of sixteen who comes in after dark through the rain with a peddler can have much character to boast of.” said Mrs. Arnold, her head turned upward and sideways, so that she might get a view of the culprit’s face from beneath her glasses. “That’s what you get by takin’ such trash in your house,” said the stern man at the door, his chin* coming up again. “We can go now if you wish to get rid of us,” said Helen. “Oh, no, don’t trouble yourself. We don’t want to gift rid of you just yet, so you need not hurry yourself. ” “Do you mean, Judge Arnold, that I am to be arrested for this?” Helen asked, calmly. “I am inclined to the opinion you will,’’ the Judge answered. Why the farmer was called Judge,Helen did not know. Titles are clump, and the num ber of colonels, judges, and generals xve have in our country is astonishing, and the list increases every day. “Then, sir,'’ said Helen. “I Avill wait here. lam innocent, and know that God in llis goodness will, in some way, see that I am vindicated.” “You had better depend upon Him, for He is the only one who can do you any good,” said the iron man, with an irreverent wit, which he enjoyed. Helen again relapsed into siienee, and her little brother, groaning with pain, drew a chair up by her side, climbed into it and lay down with his head in her lap. She folded her arms about him, feeling that it was the hist time in life she would ever be permit ted to take him to her heart. Mrs. Arnold, having satisfied herself that nothing else was gone, was called out by her husband, and the door closed and locked. The hired man was left as a guard, and Mr. Arnold got into his carriage and drove away to Newton alone. Helen sat there with the little hot head in her lap. Great tears arose in her eyes, and she tried to pray, but could not; God would surely not desert her. She had read of so many persons punished for crimes they ha i lever committed that she feared she must sutler for this. Helen was not one of those romantic girls who wished to boa heroine or a martyr. She was content to live humbly, to have no mis sion save that of helping her crippled brother. The child closed his feverish eyes and slept. “Sleep on, little brother,” said Helen, softly, “Heaven only knows where your little head will rest to-night.” She did not weep now, her great calamity had dried up the fountain <>f her grief. But silent, cold ami deter mined, she sat there, trying to bring herself to face the inevitable. “If they will only let me take my lit tle brother with me, 1 shall not mur mur,” she said to herself. Then she thought of the tempest of the day before. How much better it would have been if both herself and brother had been killed by the light ning than lived to see this day. V, hat evil had brought her to this house. A natural chain of reflections brought Pete, the peddler, to her memory. Where was Pete now. Doubtless many miles on his way with his heavy pack, trudging along the road. Pete had promised to befriend her—would he do it ? Most of all, she thought of Warren. Would he sneer at his avowed low for her when he heard of her disgrace. Somehow the bitterest pang she felt was that Warren would hear of her fall. The future was dark —black. She knew whither Mr. Arnold had gone. He would return in three or four hours with the sheriff and a warrant for her self. Little Amos slept on, his last sleep in his sister's arms. Helen could not disturb him, and when his hacking cough seemed likely to arouse him, she gently rocked him in her arms. “Poor little fellow, sleep while you can, sleep while you can,” she said, sadly. At last, after a time that seemed short to Helen, she heard the roekawav of Mr. Arnold drive up to the front gate, and, looking out at the window, saw that gentleman and a large, dark-whiskered man get out. The dark-whiskered man was the sheriff’, Mr. Joe Belcher. “Come right in,” said Mr. Arnold, who seemed to have a disagreeable matter in hand, which he wished to dis pose of at once. Little Amos stirred uneasily, as though lie was receiving a warning in his sleep of what was to come. Helen awoke him gently. “Wake up, little brother, they have come.” “Who ?” asked the feverish boy ; “I don’t want nobody to come.” * But the heavy trend of feet in the hall awed the little fellow to silence again. The key was turned, the door opened and Mr. Arnold conducted the sheriff into the kitchen and, pointing to Helen, said: “There’s the thief.” The sheriff then drew a chair up to her side and, drawing a legal looking document from the breast pocket of his coat, began to read : “State of and County of . One James Arnold, makes oath and says, etc., etc., that one Helen Lake man, late of said county, did, on the fifteenth day of June, 18—, at said county,- then ahd there being, one gold bracelet of the goods and chattels of Miss Hal lie Arnold, then and there . being, of the value of twenty dollars, did then ami there, with force and arms, knowingly, willfully and feloni ously steal, take and carry away, against the dignity of the State. These are to command you, etc., etc.” CHAPTER XI. THE SEPARATION. Helen sat like one stupefied while the warrant was read. The voice of the sheriff quivered, for his honest heart told him the girl was not guilty, and then, when he looked at the wretched child on her lap and from the faces of each read their suffering, he men tally exclaimed : “I swear the girl can’t be blamed if she did steal it.” Little Amos looked inquiringly into his sister’s pale, stone-like face at the conclusion of the reading of the war rant, as if to ask what it all meant. Helen was silent—stunned—although she had been all morning preparing for the blow. The sheriff' carefully folded the document and thrust it into his side pocket, and sat in silence, as though he hardly knew what to do next. Helen at last turned her awfully white face upon him. He shrank like a guilty person before that stony gaze. Next she turned her face upon Judge Arnold, who stood in the doorway, Arnold struggled with all the power he pos sessed to meet her stare, but was com pelled to cower before the gaze of in jured innocence. At length her lips moved, and her voice was so hollow :i> to startle Arnold. “Do you believe that I am guilty of that charge?” she asked. Arnold was for a moment confused. He was afraid to risk his voice to sa v he did, lest his tongue might fail to speak, and yet he dare not say lie be lieved her innocent. He had sworn out the warrant and must believe what it stated. “I have no conversation for you,” he said, elevating his chin in the air, “you are now in the sheriff’s hands, and your case is beyond my control.” “Oh, God, that I had only kept beyond your control!” cried Helen, breaking down at last and sobbing violently. “To be robbed by you of our home, and every tiling that would have made myself and this poor afflicted child comfortable, and then because I asked shelter for one night under your roof, to have yourself or your family seek my rnin in this way—oh, God, help me! ere I get beyond the power of forgiv ing.” With u last wail, Helen threw herself forward and bowed her head upon a table near by. “Don’t cry, sister, don’t,” sobbed the little cripple, while the tears rolled down his cheeks, “they shan't hurt you. God won't let ’em hurt you.” The sheriff’, a frown on his brow, for this was a perplexing ease, arose and began walking the kitchen Hour. He was troubled, but, like a brave official, resolved to do his duty. Mr. Arnold stood patiently at the door. He had just caught sight of his wife, who stood at the door of the dining room. She Was, perhaps, the most hard-hearted of any, and yet weak and unable to hear with calmness any great display of feeling, Mrs. Arnold’s face was high in the air, but greatly agitated. Mi'. Arnold was impatient to have this “scene,” as he called it, over with. “Isay, Belcher,” he said, “why don’t you take her on and stop that bawling; I swear I don’t want such an uproar in my house.” [to be continued.] Astonishing Success, It is the duty of every person who has Boscliee’s German Syrup to let its won derful qualities be known to their friends in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and lung diseases.
