We are informed that a number of our citiaens will invite Maj. -I. F. Hanson, of Macon, to address our people upon the tariff question at an early day. Major Hanson is thoroughly posted upon this very important question and his speech es have been highly regarded by all who have heard them. We hojie this move ment will be carried out. There is not a question of graver importance to our whole [H'ople than this, and none so lit tle understood by the masses. If Maj. Hanson can come, due notice will lie given. There was quite an animated scene around Stilesboro Tuesday morning when the traiu arrived. The farmers of the community were iu town and their teams and horses were hitched near the track. Several became scared at tin* en gine mid broke for a more congenial elime, and succeeded in completely wreck ing Jim Jolly's and Jim Hammond's road carts. One of the horses scattered a crowd iu one of the stores in double quick time, and could hardly be kept from running into the store. Strange to say, no one was injured, but it was souie what of a bad day for road carts. The w hisky warehouse<if N. J. Wheeler, in the southwestern part of Cherokee county, was destroyed by fir*' last Thurs day night, together with about 1,000 gallons of corn whisky. The origin is unknown, but it is thought to be the work of an incendiary. Within the past eighteen months Mr. Wheeler has lost by fire two distilleries, one barn and con tents, and no\f his warehouse and 1,000 gallons of whisky, entailing a total loss of about fa,ooo upon him. All, with but one exception, was supposed to aa <-e been fired by some incendiary. There was no insurance on any of the properfcy destroyed. Mr. A. M.

His stock of prevarications are new and fresh and ure far from I wing chestnuts. A corps of U. S. geological surveyors have been in town several days urul will leave to-day for Alabama. They are an orderly set, and made a tine impression among our people during their short stay. Misses Relle and May Weedon, two ac complished young ladies from Sanders ville, is visiting the family of Maj. W. H. Renfroe, at Irouville. Their visit is lieing much enjoyed fortunate enough to meet them. Harmony Grove camp-meeting begins Thursday night before the third Sunday iu August. Harmony (drove is in Pauld ing county, ten miles from Cartersville, and the successful meetings held there an* well attended by our people. Miss Rosa Crawford, of Atlanta, is on a visit to the family of her brother. Her health is not so good, but it will lie grat fviag to her many friends that she is rapidly improving under the balmy influ ences of our health-giving mountain breezes. Joe Lowrey, of Euharlee, has placed on our desk an agricultural production that we flail a hard time in naming. It ap pears to be an ear of corn with an innu merable number of ollshoots, at least thirty. I is a curiosity—and will, no doubt, find its way to the Piedmont ex position. Rev. Mr. Cooper is conducting a meet ing in Madison this week, but will return Saturday and will preach Sunday as usual. His services are in demand over the state and numerous calls are made upon his time and presence. He is a painstaking and hard worker in the cause and makes friends wherever he goes, Mr. Dave Curry has again decided to cast his lot away from Garters ville, this time going to Rome, where he has bought out the large drug establishment of Cothran, Sproull &. Cos. He took charge this week, but has not yet moved his stock from tliis place. Mr. Curry is a genuine prize for any community to cap ture, and Rome can well congratulate herself. Mr Curry's family will remain for aw hile yet. On last Monday, the 4th inst., Mrs. Sarah Hogan, of near Dallas, was mar risil to Mr. Asa Dobbs, of Cartersville, Judge 11. C. Scroggins officiating. Mrs. llogan was formerly a Miss Cantrell and is well connected in this county. Mr. Dobbs is one of ('al tersville's best busi ness men and we wish the couple much joy. The printers enjoy cake usually, and certainly did on this occasion.—Dal las New Era. Mr. Dobbs is indeed fortu n ite in the possession of such an accom plished lady. Mr. Dobbs is a whole souled gentleman and well liked in this community, and his many friends wish him unmeasured success and happiness. Death of Judge M. (i. Dobbins. Judge M. G. Dobbins died at his home, near Cass Station, on last Monday even ing, after several weeks of painful illness, at the age of seventy-seven years. The deceased was one of the oldest and most highly esteemed citizens of Bartow bounty. Ho was true t > every obliga tion to his fellow man, and always ready to aid in any enterprise that pointed to the good of the community. The Constitution, of yesterday, gives the following brief sketch of his life : “Mr. Dobbins w r as born in Clarke county Ga., November 281810, where he resided until 1830. In 1835 he entered the mercantile business at McDonough, but five years later removed to Grffin, where he lived until the close of the war, and where in 1 Hfi he was united in mar riage to Miss Susan J. Butler, who now, with two sons and three daughters, survive him. In 1806 he moved to At lanta, where he engaged in the banking business. His career as such was sig nally successful. His industry, tine judgment and unusual business talentf soon made him a strong and prominent figure in financial circles. In 1873 he removed to Bartow county, where he has since resided up to the time of his death. In the home circle and in private life no man was kinder and nobler than M. (i. Dobbins. Asa husband, gentle and affectionate; as a father, kind and indulgent; as a friend, true and loyal. Acting up so the golden rule he was always willing to yield to others that justice which lie claimed for himself, and he lived and died “an honest man, the noblest work of God.’’ llis sympathy was never appealed to in vain by any w orthy person who, without fault, was persecuted or oppressed, but his help was extended in so unostentatious way that none but a few intimate friends ever knew ! of it. In the matter of giving his ideas were just as w‘ell as charitable, his motto | being “to help those who tried to help themselves.'’ Mr. Dobbins was an ex cellent citizen, always advocating what was just w ithout regard to ex|H*diency. During the later years of his life he was an ardent prohibitionist, and the recent prohibition'Victory at Home seemed to mak* him happy on his deathbed. It w as his habit of late years on each birth day to assemble at his spacious and hos pitable home all his children and grand children in a happy family reunion, it being his delight to render each occas ion more enjoyable than the former had been. When he perceived that the evening of his life was coming on he turned from his earthly labors, gathered his family around his dying lied, and without a shade of fear faced his death, without a murmur in full faith of a better life here after.’ The remains were carried to Atlanta yesterday and interred at Oakland eem tci v. A number of friends from here at tended the funeral. The following gentlemen acted as pall bearers: .Judge George Hillyer, G. T. Dodd, J. 11. Meraslin, Dr. J. I). Turner, E. H. Thornton, A. D. Adair, l’aul Keely, G. \Y. Adair and M. Kiser. Rev. J. If. Hawthorne conducted the funeral services. When you need a Watch, whether a $2,50 Water berry, or a $l5O Gold Tieker be sure to eall on us. We are confident wo can suit you in goods and prices. Turner & Baker. AT WORK IX EARNEST. The Committees Organize for a Proper Kxliibit of Bartow’s Resources. Pursuant to call of the general meet ing held on the sth, the committees ap ]minted for the purpose of making ar rangements for tin* projier display of Bur -1 ow's resources at the Piedmont aasoeia t ion and the State fair, met at the court bouse at 12 o’clock last Saturday, per f*c!ed organization and proceeded to work. Each eonunitteninn present was exhulierant and felt confident that there would not be any trouble in getting our jieople interested, and each pledged their most active energies from now until the day of exhibit. Mr. R. M. Pattillo was called to the chair, while Mr. George H. Aubrey was made secretary. On motion the following names were added to the committee: Oliver Rich ards, J. T. Conyers, .Jabez Gilreath, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Brown, John P. Stegall, L l . I*. Mahan, S. P. Hubbard, Sam'l Bonis, J. P. Isnris, Henry Gaines, R. 0. Crawford, John S. Leake, J. X. Dobbs, Hayne Dodd, R. 11. Jones and A. M. Willingham. Every member of the county agricultural clubs were also added to the committee. The committees will meet at the ojiera house every Saturday morning at 10 o'clock until the close, and it is confi dently exjmted that each and every one will be present. The time has come for hearty and united action. The best in terests of our county are at stake, and it remains to Is* seen whether our people will take the interest tht* occasion de mands. The Piedmont exposition will be at tended by the people of the w hole country, people who will be looking around for desirable homes and capi talists who are looking about for the safe iu vestment of idle capital. No sec tion can compare with our own Bartow county for both. While the people of our county know what resources we have they are nevertheless comparatively un known to the outside world. A projier display at the Piedmont exposition and at the State fair will do much in putting our magnificent county before the world. Let every man anil woman in Bartow county constitute him or herself into a committee of one to see that Bartow county is well represented and not to be eclipsed by any of the adjoining or other counties of this section. We have the mineral wealth to dazzle the eyes of the hungry capitalists. We have the lands that will compare with any, our diversi fied field products are many and every thing nearly is raised to perfection. Our society is good and as for health our county cannot lie beaten iu the whole wide world. With all these u< antages, why remain quiet and allow home hun ters to pass our doors without even an invitation to stop and linger? Let the outside world know us and we need not fear the conclusions of its researches. Let us all work, and work hard. Just now is the most critical period in the ex istence of our section. Do not remain in idleness and allow golden moments to pass us by without even an e.Tort to better ourselves. The committees appointed can confi dently expect, we believe, the hearty co operation of our whole people, in get ting up specimens of different articles for exhibition. These specimens can be brought in and safely stored away until the day of ship ment as plenty of storing room has been secured. Send along your specimens, duly labeled, and they will be properly cared for. Any information, premium lists, etc., will be cheerfully given by Mr. George II Aubrey, the secretary. It is hoped that those on the commit tees will meet at the opera house on next Saturday at 10 o'clock sharp. Court Proceedings. July term of Bartow Superior court con vened at 12 o'clock last Monday, Judge J. C. Fain presiding. Upon the swearing in of the juries, the Judge delivered his usual vigorous and comprehensive charge to the grand jury. A greater por tion of the afternoon was consumed in calling and setting cases for trial. The following cases were placed upon the boards, to be tried in the order in which they come: Emsley Stegall vs. Thos. 11. Baker; J. H. Williams, pl’ffin li. fa., vs. Tudor & Hart, defts inti, fu., and Wil liam Tudor, et. ah, clm'nts; K. E. Hodge vs. H. S. Crawford, et. ah; 1). W. Curry, adm’r, etc., pl’ff in li. fa., vs. J. H. Ruck man, deft in ft. fa. and Mary J. Wilson, clm'nt; E. E. Field, pl'ff in ti. fa., vs. J. H. Ruckman, deft in fi. fa. and Mary J. Wilson, clm’nt; Pacific Guano Cos. vs. O. U. Glasgow; Montgomery, McLaurin & Cos., vs. J. C. Dodd; J. R. Humphries vs. E. lh Holcombe; A. L‘. Silva vs. Joseph Davis; Margaret E. Wofford vs. Mary Wyly, et. ah; Joe M. Moon, receiver, vs. Martha Dillard; John Terhune vs. J. A. Murchison, et. ah; J . Ih Smith vs. W. H. Terrell; L. J. Jackson vs. J. A. Ham mett, et. ah; Thos H. Baker vs. Emsley Stegall; l’yrolusite Manganese Cos. vs. Wm. Milner, et. ah; 11. M. Hammett, or dinary, et*-.. for use of Martha E. Morris, vs. J. li. McGinty, et ah; E. E. Freeman vs. J. A. Stover, et. ah; J. C. Tuuiliu, et. ah, vs. Yerdel (teems; Jane A. Schulte, administratrix, vs. M. E. Wofford, exec utrix, and M. L. Johnson; Martha Dil lard vs. estate of L. Dillard; Hilburn & Gardner vs. John Mosley, et. al,; R. D. Combs vs. H. Y. Pickard; Sinclair Mc- Menderson vs. Nancy Henderson. These cases were set for trial this week, but should the court fail to finish, the list will lie continued until all have been called for a hearing, each case coining in the order in which it stands on the cal endar. The first ease tried was that of Smiley S. Johnson, executor, etc., vs. Lindsay Johnson, et. ah, executors de son tort of Mary Johnson, deceased. This case, upon the hearing of able ar guments from counsel on both sides, was, by the court, non-suited. The next case, in its regular order, was that of Louisa E. Price vs. W. T. Wof ford, deft, and M. A, Goode, clm'nt. Ver dict for the t-laiinant. In the case of D. Haney & Bros. vs. Frank Vernon, verdict was rendered against the defendant in favor of the plaintiff for s2l>o. VOTES. The grand jury this week is composed of an exceedingly strong body of men. They have entered upon their duties with a commendable energy and zeal, and are giving public matters close attention. Fapt. A. F. Woolley is the worthy fore man and (’has E. MeEweu the efficient clerk. Sheriff Franklin and his able deputy, J. W. Williams, have surrounded them selves with a clever set of bailiffs, who strive hard to discharge their duties. Clerk Durham has all the courts’ re cords in splendid shape, livery docu ment is to its place, and no time is lost iu finding papers, llartow county has never had an official who performed his duties mere faithfully and efficiently than its present clerk. OVER THE COUNTY. OUR CORRESPONDENTS NOTE THE INCIDENTS OF THEIR | NEIGHBORHOODS, And Dish Thun Up In a Delectable Shape For Our Readers. CLEAR CREEK. We are blessed every few days with re freshing showers. The prospect for a good crop is very flattering. The fruit crop is almost an entire* fail ure in our community. except the blaek berries; we never saw them finer. The schools are all having vacation now, the girls are all at home, and the boys seem to take more interest in the Sabbath school than for some time past. Glad to see them come out. It seems that W. C. W. still persist* in giving the old gentleman over half the apples. I think he was quite selfish in re quiring half for himself, and I. for one, will not consent for him to have any more. Bob Bail is correct —lie only gives him half. In liob Bail's first example, 1 apply the rule of division to get the third of 50 cents, which is 16 2-8 cents, I then take the third of 16, which is 5 1-8, and the third of 2-8 equals 2-0; I tlieu take half of 16 2-8. which is 8 1-8,1 add the whole numbers 5 and 8, making 13, then bring the fractions 1-3 1-3 -2-9 to a com mon denominator and add them. 1-3 is equal to 3-9, and 1-3 again equals 3-9, and 2-9 more equals 8-9, The answer I get is 13 8-9. It seems by the other example that Bob sells his apples at one cent apiece. If he will come over and bring a basket of apples, we will work them all out for him by the single rule of three, and he may think himself faring well if he gets one left for himself. Water Lily. PINE LOG. Fresh turnip seed at Shelton's. Business in onr village is by no means on a boom just now. Mr. R. E. Adair has a very good schop at the academy here. We were sorry to hear of the severe ill ness of the young man who accompanied Miss Emma Heath ou a visit to her pa rents here two weeks ago. Miss Stella Vincent left last Saturday to begin her school on Stamp Creek tliis week. We wish for her much success in her new undertaking. The epidemic storm of sickness that has been raging in our country has about passed over. Mr. J. P. Adair opened his school at Bennett's school house, in Cherokee county, on last Monday. We hope he will have a good school—as to a good time, there is no question as to John having it wherever In* goes. We still hear the buzz and rattle of the thresher and the joyous shout and song of its merry crew. Prof. J. M. Boyd and his brother opin ed their school at Richards last week with flattering prospects; the Professor has won quite a reputation here as a thorough teacher and a man of moral persuasion. Mr. 11. It. Maxwell left the first of this w**ek to take a view of the western plains, and to try the healing waters of Hot Springs, Ark. Wo wish for him a pleas ant journey and that he may return ie stored to perfect health, to again take his place as secretary of Pine Log Sun day school. STEGALL. The Bartow Fruit & Wine Cos. have commenced to manufacture blackberry wine from the new crop of berries, and expect to make it on a large scale if they can get the material. They will pay the highest cash price for any quantity of berries. Stegall will be well represented at the Piedmont Fair in the department of min erals, etc. Our citizens are now prepar ing their collections and will be ready in due reason. Messrs. Rankin, Haas and Hill, of thp Etowah Mining & Manufacturing Cos., were here Friday looking over their min eral interests. Mr. and Mrs. Flem A. Cox, ofHawkins ville, are visiting Unci# Emsley Stegall’s family. Mr. and Mrs. Joel Conyers, of Stiles boro, are visiting Prof. C. W. Jones and family. Miss Lula Glenn, of Cartersville, spent several days last week with Miss Gertrude Baylev. Mrs. Lou Lowell, of Sicieo, Texas, is visiting friends and relatives of tliis place. Miss Mattie Brown, of Atlanta, is visit ing' Miss Lena Jones. Rev. Mr. Buford preached a very inter esting sermon to his church last Sunday. There was quite a large congregation of attentive listeners. Mr. Harvey W. Bayley excluded to Chattanooga anil spent his Independence day. He only wishes the gal- orious 4th would come often. ('apt.. Maddox's school, which is within our Curtilage, might be properly called a female seminary, as he had only one inale pupil last week. Sigma. KINGSTON. Mr. W. A. Gillum, of Kingston, died at the residence of his sister, Mrs. Slieek, in Atlanta, on the Bth inst. He lmd been a great sufferer for many months, and had gone to Atlanta for treatment, and to Is* with his brother, Dr. L. M. Gillum. He had all that medical skill cotfhl do, be sides the best attention from his loving wife and sister and other friends and rela tives. His remains were brought here on Friday evening. His funeral was preach ed at the Methodist church at half past ten o'clock on Saturday, by Rev. J. M. White, to a large and sympathetic con gregation, and after services the last sad rites were performed at the cemetery, where our neighbor, friend, brother and fellow-citizen, was consigned to the silent tomb. Nearly all the people in the town and surrounding country were present, show ing by their presence that the de ceased was highly respected in life. He leaves a vile, five children, one brother, two sisters and a host of friends to mourn his hiss. He left every evidence that he was ready for the summons. ('apt. John F. Hardin went to Atlanta Sunday with his brother, Col. Mark Har din. ('apt. H. has been quite ill for sev eral months, and he goes to Atlanta for medical treatment. Judge J. C. Branson is badly afflicted, but lie keeps up. He went to Cartersville Monday. Mr. John H. Harris is still suffering, but his friends think he is better. Mrs. J. S. Goodwin is still in a precarious condition. I am sorry to have to give such a dark picture as to the health of Kingston. The health of our yieople, aside from the names given, is good. We notice in town Dr. L. M. Gillam, Mrs. Sheek and Miss Trout, of Atlanta, at Mrs. W. A. Gillum's. Rev. J. A. McMurray, of Hall's Mill, and Rev. G. 8. Tumlin, of Marietta, are here to assist in a protracted meeting at the Baptist church, the opening sermon to be preached Monday night b.v Rev. Mr. Tumlin. Our people are glad to see and hear him, as he was once pastor of the church here for several years. We trust the meeting will result in much good being accomplished. Our citizens are rejoicing over the great prohibition victory of Floyd county. Score another big county dry. Every county between Atlanta and Hamilton county, Tenn., except Gordon, 1 believe, have raised their banners for prohibition. 1 was glad to meet Mr. George Lump- # The importance of purifying the hlood can not be overestimated, for without pure blood you cannot enjoy good health. At this season nearly every one needs a good medicine to purify, vitalize, and enrich the blood, and we ask you to try Hood's Op p i iI i a r Sarsaparilla* It strengthens r cLUIlai anu builds up the system, creates an appetite, and tones the digestion, while it eradicates disease. The peculiar combination, proportion, and preparation of the vegetable remedies used give to Hood s Sarsaparilla pecul- -i"_ u. if iar curative powers. No * D IIS6IT other medicine has such a record of wonderful cures. If you have made up your mind to buy Hood’s Sarsaparilla do not be induced to take any other instead. It is a Peculiar Medicine, 1 and is worthy your confidence. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is sold by all druggists. Prepared by C. L Hood & Cos., Lowell, Mass. 100 Doses One Dollar kin, of Hall s Mill, on our streets Mon day. He has returned from Salt Springs much improved in health. Mr. W. A. Chunn, of (’assville, was in town a few days since, in the life insur ance business. Some of our citizens will take a policy with the company he rep resents. Jackie. * W * HALLS MILLS. Considerable rain and hail Monday af ternoon. Our farmers are all very busy finishing f heir crops. The recent heavy rains have thrown them a little behind. We notice in our midst .J. T. Edwards, of Kingston, Masters George and Tom Harris, of Rome, and Miss Edna Ilailey, of ('alhoun. 1 am glad to state that I was present at (Tear Creek Sunday School picnic Sat urday, and congratulate them on the se lection of the ground. I was perfectly carried away with the people and dinner, and can say that they are truly a gener ous-hearted people, and take a great deed of interest in entertaining strangers. The dinner was just as good and bountiful as I ever saw. A person couldn't help but enjoy himself among such people. We wish them much success in their Sunday school work. We’re sorry that Halls was not any better represented than it was, but business prevented. Hope that Clear Creek will be well represented at our pic nic on the MOth inst. Clear Creek has a right to be proud of her pretty girls. Many thanks to W. C. W. for his invi-. tation to their singing, but-1 couldn't go on account of a pet I have. Couldn’t leave her, and was afraid to carry her with me for fear she would go wild. I will not tell what it is nor w hat her name Bon Bail. GUM SPRING. The farmers are pretty well up with their crops. Corn and cotton look fine in this sec tion. We are sorry that Rev. Mr. White could not preach at the Cumberland Presbyterian church. Rev. Mr. Fletcher (Jilreath tilled his appointment. Mr. liilreath preached a very interesting ser mon last Saturday night. Rev. Mr. Smith preached Sunday morning. Mr. I*. T. Daniel left us a few weeks ago on a visit to his sister, Mrs. A. Stephens, in Tennessee. Prof. .J. M. Boyd's school commenced the first Monday in July, opening with pupils. Mr. Anderson's school commenced last Monday, at the Bell school house. &a<l Afflictions of llcv. Mr. llillliouse. The trite old saying that “misfortunes never comes singly” is fully corroberated in the case of Rev. Mr. Hillhouse, the be loved pastor of the Presbyterian church at this place. It was only a few weeks ago his aged father passed over to the majority alter a long life of usefulness, and now on the heels of this great afflic tion he is called to the bedside of his be loved mother and younger brother. Both died Monday in a few hours of each other. Marcus, the young brother, was 2d years of age, a noble Christian and when thegrimmonster beckoned he found him ready to go. Mr. Hillhouse has the condolence of our people in his sad be reavement. The Old Fraud Again The Courant-Anierican has time ami again noticed the wanderings of an old female fraud. She has moved to pas tures anew an we had about given up hearing anything about her until we find this telegram in one of our daily exchanges: Jackson, Tens., July 12.— A female swindler beat a farmer of this county out of several day's board, a fine neck lace and other articles a few days since. She represented herself as from St. Louis, stated that her son was through here last fall and took a fancy to the farmer’s land, and she wanted to buy it. She agreed to give a round price for the farm and to farward the money on her return home. She obtained the necklace from the lady of the house to exchange for more fasionable jewelry. She left the impression that money was no object with her and agreed to take the family to Europe with her. They have not heard from her since her departure. A woman answering her description work ed the same racket on a farmer near Milan last week. A week or so ago we noticed in one of state exchanges a squib to the effect that a committee was in pursuit of the old fraud but had about given up the chase. To Our Citizens.

Tlie Jones Carriage Factory Presents a Good Showing. Below will be found a eurd from the R. H. Jones & Sons’ Manufacturing Company, and from it it will be seen that this large and thriving enterprise is growing in importance as well as popu larity. Such enterprises as this is what builds up a community, and would we had them scattered broadcast through oat the land. The Stamp Creek depart ment of this industry is growing; lately some valuable and important machinery has been added. Now the company can, besides sellin a finely finished vehicle, sell one in the rough, ready for the iron of the blacksmiths. Considerable of this material in the rough, ready for iron, has been shipped to Florida, South Car olina and parts of this state. It is a growing industry, and one that we all should feel pcoud of. July Ist, 1887. Messrs. Editors : We have just fin-* ished our annual inventory and held our stockholders’ meeting, elected officers, enjoyed a nice little picnic at our Stamp Creek works, and feel highly gratified at being able to report all in good shape J and greatly improved. We find the out- ) look for our business is better than it has been at any time in the past three years. Have not had at any one time hajf so many as now —are full of them now for months, which is always encour aging to business men. We have had a close, hard time, but we believe that day has passed, we trust forever. We present our claims to the community again, and ask not for charity or patronage because simply of local consideration, but upon strictly business principles. If we can give you vehicles as good and as cheap as you can buy them in any market, (and this we guarantee to do), we insist that you give us the preference. Being located here in your midst, fully iden tified and in many ways beneficial and serviceable in building up and sus taining onr county, we think it proper to say this much and express our thanks for all past favors.

Dobbins, J. J. Howard and Others Settled by Comprom'se. Monday’s Atlanta Constitution.] Judge Marshall J. Clarke has just ren dered a consent decree in the litigation between Mrs. F. P. Gray and C. 11. Strong, administrator, M. G. Dobbins and others, which settles nine heavy law suits which have for a long time been pending iu the federal ami state courts, involving property to the value of about $50,000. This deem* was based upon a settle ment brought about by the attorneys interested. The s iits originated in some business transactions between the late Frank P. Gray, M. G. Dobbins and J. J. Howard. The first of these was the sale, by Gray, of one-fourth interest in a cotton factory at Adairsville in exchange for Howard's plantation in Barton! county. Mr. Dob bins sold to Mr. Gray the West End property and agreed to take a perfect title to the Howard plantation in part payment. Dobbins took a mortgage on the cotton factory as collateral security for loaned money and bought a ft fa issued by the Lowel Machine company against the Cotton Factory company for the purchase money of machinery. Since the first suit was filed the suits have in creased until there were nine settled by this compromise. these suits were: J. J. Howard vs. F. P. Gray and Miles G. Dobbins; Bartow superior court; bill for revision of contracts of sale of the Bartow company from and for the recov ery of possessions. Cora M. Gray vs. J. J. Howard A Sou ; suit tor the recovery of notes —Bartow superior court. W. 11. Howard vs. F. I*. Gray, J. W. Gray, Cora M. Gray, W. P. Inman, M. G.

Bill irt the l-nited States* dis trict court to enjoin the defendants from selling one-half of the Adairsville cotton factory claimed by complainant. THE settlement. When the attorneys saw this army of litigation, they began ho think that something should be done in the way of effecting a settlement, or the property of theii; clients would be eaten up by the costs of the various courts. The"mat ter was left to the attorneys, Colonel T. \\ arren Akin, Messrs. Hoke and Burton Smith, and ex-Judge John D. Cunning ham, and last week the settlement was brought about and the consent decree rendered. By the terms of the obit lenient, which is signed by all parties to the litigation, all the rases are dismissed at the costs of complainants. Mrs. Gray surrenders possession of the West End property to Miles G. Dobbins, he giving her an op tion, upon the property until July 15th at $10,500. Howard takes possession of the Wallace farm, he and Dobbins dividing the rente for the present year. Dobbins and Mrs. Gray execute to. each other a quit claim deed to one-half inter est in the Adairsville cotton factory. Other minor details were arranged.

Dks Moixks, July 12. —Sheriff Boylan, of Hardin couuty, writing to Governor I.arabee, concerning the effect upon criminal statistics of the enforcement of the prohibitory law in that county, says that five years experience in office, and the records of tin* courts furnish sulli cient evidence to convince him that pro hibition is l ight, and that the liquor law is as well enforced as any other criminal law upon the statue books. One striking effect has been to make a shortage of SI,OOO per year in the sheriff"s office. “But," says Mr. Boylan, “as 1 hear the same complaint from most every sheriff in the state, I console myself that 1 have good company.” “The open saloon in Hardin county is not going, but lias gone. Men who used to spend their week's wages at the saloon for drink, and got trusted, if they could, for their groceries, clothing, etc., and most frequently never paid their bills; or had their families supported by char ity or the poor fund, when the wifi* and mother could not earn food and clothing for the children, now are sober and indus trious, spend their money for their fami lies, and are paying their debts. The business men of Hardin county will cite you many such instances in proof of my statement, and declared that prohibi tion is better than the saloon. Among the farmers a large per cent, of the fore closures of mortgages on real estate is due to the fact that the mail of the house has spent too much of his time around drinking places. 1 have several instances in mind iu which farmers used to spend their nights at the saloon ca rousing, that now go home sober, and their farms look more homelike. The records of the District Court make a showing as regards crime that is sur prising. In Hardin county: The number of prosecutions for vio lation of the liquor law under prohibi tion is less tlmn under license. The number of all criminal prosecu tions under prohibition is less. Then, as a consequence, jail commit ments under prohibition are less, The cash receipts from liquor law vio lations for fines aud costs under prohibi tion are greater. The cost of prosecuting the liquor dealers under prohibition is less. For Sale, A few bushels of need wheat that harvested thirly-two bushels to the aero without comuter ial fertilizers. €has. H.
