Death of Alls* Bettie ( leghorn,
Miss Bettie (’leghorn, aged about sev
enteen years, died at the residence of her
sister, Miss Lou ('leghorn, on Main street,
at six o’clock yesterday morning, after a
brief illness. The deceased was a (laugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. W. I). Cleghorn. A
few weeks ago she was in the vigor and
strength of young girlhood, but when
her little brother was stricken with the
fatal malady, from which he died a few
days since, she became so constant and
devoted in her attentions to his suffer
ings as to exhaust her strength, and
from which her last illness began. Miss
Bettie was a young lady of beautiful
character. Her life was one of simple pu
rity and full of good deeds and splendid
exemplifications of the teachings of her
Master. Rv her gentle manners and
sweet, amiable disposition she won the
esteem and love of all her companions.
Just blooming into womanhood, with a
bright, intelligent mind, and many ad
mirable qualities, hev’s promised to be a
life of much usefulness.
The funeral took place at the Metho
dist church this morning, and were con
ducted by Rev. W. H. Cooper, assisted by
Rev. Mr. Timmons. The church was
crowded with sorrowing friends to pay
their last sad rite to her memory. The
sermon was eloquent and impressive.
One of the most touching features of the
services was the mark of esteem and love
shown by her former schoolmates, they
all attending in a body. They occupied
the middle pews in the church, and their
sad faces and the tears that would till
their eyes as the preacher dwelt upon her
many virtues and her beautiful Christian
life, was a more eloquent tribute to her
memory than any eulogy from the lips of
man could possibly be.
The remains were interred at the fami
ly burial ground, in the country.
CRAVING FOR THE REMOVAL OF A
COUNTY LINE GROCERY.
Just in the edge of Cherokee county
and abount 12 miles from Garters ville,
is situated the whisky store of John
AY heeler, who sells considerable of the
fluid to peop’eofthesurrouudingcountry.
It has been pronounced a nuisance by
many of the good people of the immedi
ate community and they have set about
to do away with it. A petition to incor
porate the County Line church has been
industriously circulated and has received
a good many signatures of the best peo
ple of the community. The petition asks
that whisky not be sold inside of four
miles of the church. The petition, or at
least the most salient points, read thus:
“YVe, the undersigned, being the heads
of families and owners of lands in, and
adjacent to, the community known as
County Line; and others, who are citi
zens of said community, have recently
organized a church and Sabbath school
at County Line, in the 1041 dist., in said
county, and near tin* line of Cherokee
county, all in said state; and as there is
a grocery or a place where whisky is sold
in less than one and one-half miles of
said church, and as there is much drink
ing and carrying of whisky iu jugs
through our neighborhood, together
with all the vices and influences for evil
which forever surrounds the doggeries,
we find it impossible to counteract the
evil done our church and our families —
eternity alone can tell the evil effects of
these baneful influences on our youths.
We therefore, pray that our honorable
legislature take such steps and enact
such laws as they (the legislature) may
deem proper to remove this curse from
our community, and forever prohibit the
establishment of such a nuisance nearer
than four miles of our church. And we
will ever pray the blessings of God upon
you individually and collectively."

THE CITY COURT.
•Judge Neal Turning out Cases in a Hurry
—An Interesting Case.
The .Tunc term of the City rourt con
vened last Wednesday. Judge J. M. Neel
presiding. No time was lost in organ
izing for business.
The jury is composed of Geo. W. Head
den, J. AV. L. Brown, J. P. Johnson. H.
F. Jones, W. W. Cotton. W. B. Brook
shire, S. C. Pritchard, Geo. W. Rogers. J.
L. D.vsait. J. H. Gaines, Aaron Collins
and Jno. W. Hill.
The civil docket was first called and
the following eases disposed of: C. C.
Sorrels vs. T. C. Moore, complainant ;
verdict for the -plaintiff for #97.20 lie
sides interest. Baker A Hall vs. J. D.
Murchison, complainant; verdict. #112.-
.70 principal, #4.20 interest and #11.25
attorneys' fries.
On Tuesday morning the following
cases were tried: The state vs. James
playing and betting. A demand
having lieen entered of record in this
case at a former term of the court, and
the defendant being ready for trial and
the state not ready, it was ordered by
the court that the defendant lie dis
charged. The state vs. Joe Clarke,
charged with playing and lietting; the
state lieiiig ready iu this case a demand
was taken. W. A. Gillum vs. Nellie Wool
ley, complainant ; verdict for plaintiff
for #22.70 principal, besides interest and
attorneys’ fees.
The next case called was that of Mm.
F. ('. Memmler vs. W. W. Roberts, sher
iff. This ease is jierhaps the most im
portant one of the term, made so espe
cially beenuse it involved a very nice le
gal question. The suit was for three
hundred and seventy dollars. The case
arose in about this way: It appears
that at the term 1H8 —, of the
old county court. Dr. Memmler, husband
of the plaintiff, was arraigned upon the
charge of wife-beating, tried and con
victed, whereupon the.court sentenced
him to u fine of three hundred aud sev
enty dollars, or in default thereof to
serve at hard labor in the chainguug for
the space of twelve months. The defend
ant’s counsel carried the case through
the projier channel until it finally reach
ed the Supreme court. There the case
was carefully reviewed, and the judgment
of the court below was affirmed. The
defendant’s last hope was in a petition
to the governor asking pardon. Imme-
diately after the decision of the Supreme
court, the defendant became a prisoner
in the hands of the sheriff, whose duty it
was to execute this sentence of the court,
to either collect the fine or enforce its al
ternative. On the 20th of January, 1886,
while the petition for pardon was being
considered by the governor, the defend
ant, rather than be imprisoned, paid to
the sheriff the full amount of the fine
(#•470), taking from him a receipt stipu
lating that the money was being paid by
his wife: and, further, that in the event
of a pardon, the said amount was to be
returned to Mrs. Memmler. On the eve
ning of the 20th the fact of the gover
nor's refusal to interfere was telegraphed
to defendant’s counsel. That night the
defendant died very suddenly. The
money thus paid to Mr. Roberts as slier
iff is the amount for which this suit was
brought to recover. The plaintiff bases
her right to recover upon the ground
that the wife cannot be made responsible
for the husband’s debts. Mr. Roberts’
counsel moved to dismiss the case be
cause it was brought against individ
uals, and the evidence showed that he
received the money as an officer of the
law. This motion the court overruled.
The further point was made by defend
ant's, that this was not a debt, but a
penalty imposed by the law, for which
the wife could be responsible, and pay
ment of which would preclude any right
of recovery. The case was ably argued
by Col. E. D. Graham and Maj, AY. I.
Heyward for tho defendant and John AV'.
Akin, Esq., for the plaintiff. A epdict was
rendered In favor of the plaintiff for
#.470, with interest at seven per cent,
from January, 1886. Of course, this
case will not stop short of the Supreme
court, where this important question
will be settled.
In the case of the state vs. Samuel
Jones, assault and battery; verdict, not
guilty.
Baker A Ilall vs. A r . AW Davis, com
plaint; verdict for plaintiff for #6O prin
cipal, besides interest, cost and attor

of, to serve for the space of twelve months
lit hard labor in the chaingang.

meanor; using obscene language iu the
presence of females; verdict, guilty; sen
tenced to pay a flue of #7O; or, iu default
thereof, to serve at hard labor in the
chaingang for the space of three months.
One of the most important cases tried
at this term of the court was that of
Thos. N. Fulton vs. the Phoenix Fire In
surance Company. The plaintiff was
Only represented by Col. J. A. Baker, and
Ihe defendants by Jno. C. Reed, of Atlan
ta. The case consumed the greater por
tion of yesterday iu its trial. The jury
I'eturned a verdict at 4 o’clock for the
jdaiutiff for #I.OOO principal and #22.40

A Darkey Tries to Poison a Former Bar
tow Citizen and His Family.
Last week Mr. J. AY. Sims, a former
citizen of this county, and who is a mem
ber of the saw mill firm of Sims A
Auchmuty, near Cedartown, discharged
a negro from his employ. On the even
ing of tin* day of the discharge the fami
ly of Mr. Sims became sick, save Mrs. Sims.
It was thought that poison was pat in the
water bucket and some of this water was
used in making coffee for the evening
meal. As Mrs. Sims did not drink any
coffee? or water it was from this fact that
she eecaped. Upon investigation it was
found that the servant that brought the
water had stopped on the way from the
well at a tenant shanty where the dis
charged mill hand, Dave AA'hatley, was
visiting, and it is thought that lie there
put poison in the bucket. He had been
heard to make threats by several against
Air. Sims, but was not arrested.
Last Sunday morning the mill was dis
covered to lie on fire, aud before Mr.
Sims could reach the mill, it was past
control The same negro is suspected,
and he and his whole family are under
arrest, and the preliminary trial was set
for Tuesday. Facts, as near as can be
ascertained, are these: The negro was
working at the mill and wanted to leave
for a day, but they would not release
him unless la* got a man in his place. He
left anyway, and they, having to stop
the mill till another hand could be em
ployed, discharged the negro. He made
threats of waylaying Mr. Sims between
the depo£ and mill. Shortly after that
the whole family, consisting of eight per
sons, were poisoned. The negro left
v/hen discharged and returned the day of
the poisoning. He then left and was not
seen in the neighborhood till the day of
the burning. AA’hile the family were suf
fering from the effects of the poisoning
the mother of Dave AA'hatley told some
of her neighbors that if they recovered
they would burn them out. The threats
of the negro and his mother, together
with the appearance of the negro at the
time the deeds were done, with other evi
dence, will fasten the crime on him and
all the family. One instance of the evi
dence was that the evening before they
bought oil at the commissary of the
the mill, and the mother says if her son
bought it he did not bring it home. It
seems as if J>e AA’hatley family have de
termined to exterminate Mr. Sims and
his family.
Close of the Presbyterian Meeting;
The meeting at the Presbyterian
church ceased last night. From the
very commencement of these services, the
interest upon the part of. the people has
been earnest, and perhaps no previous
meeting held at any of the churches, ac
complished more real good in touching
and awakning the hearts and consciences.
Dr. Bachman has preached at nearly
every service, and his plain practical
discourses have had wonderful effect in
causing a deeper interest in religion, not
only upon those without the
pale of the church, but those on the
inside, l lis forcible yet plain and simple
expositions of the truths, as they are,
have made many lasting impressions.
A number have been brought from the
paths of darkness into light, and all of
our churches have been quickened and
stimulated.
On last Sunday morning, his sermon
to men only, was a grand effort. The
church was crowded and every word he
uttered fell upon an attentive and inter
ested congregation. Many a stout heart
was softened and stirred by the almost
irresi,stable appeals of this man of God.
The closing service last night was
largely attended, the church being
crowded to overflowing. The sermon
was a strong one and the services
throughout im iiressi ve.
A Dangerous Disease.
Out in the Bishop neighborhood there
is a disease similar to dysentery that is
raging fearfully and seems to be an epi
demic. Mr. Dempsey Bishop, an old gen
tleman well known here, having been one
of the first settlers of the county died
and was buried Thursday afternoon.
Two of his grand children had preceded
him only a few days before, djir.g of the
same disease, His son Thomas Bishop
is now very sick. Miss Bettie Cleghorn,
who died yesterday morning, was taken
siek in that neighborhood and was
brought into town for better treatment
and attention. There seems to be a
dreadful fatality in that neighborhood
and is creating considerable alarm.
“Fido” and “Carlo” Must Pay for His
Howling.
At a special meeting of the city coun
cil yesterday morning, an ordinance was
passed requiring owners to pay a tax of
one dollar each on their dogs, the law to
take effect July first. The ordinance will
be found in another column. m
There are entirely too many dogs at
present, especially when hydrophobia
seems to be an epidemic, and this action
of our city council will be commended by
all good citizens.
