Chas. Carter, the notorious land
swindler, has been captured in Birming
ham, and was taken to Chattanooga on a
requisition. Carter went to that city
from Erie, I’a., and by fraudulent repre

He has been carrying on this operation
extensively in the south, and is wanted
at several points.
Judge Allen G. Thurman and a com

Judge llinton of the \ irginia Su
preme Court of Appeals, has filed his
dissenting opinion in the case of Cluveri
us sentenced to hang the 10th of this
month, for the alleged murder of his
cousin and fiance Fannie Lillian Madi
son. A strong effort is being made to
influence Governor Lee to pardon or
commute Ciuyerius’ sentence to impris
onment for life. The evidence against
him was purely circumstantial.
Late telegraphic reports from Rich
mond state that Gov. Lee has refused
to either commute the sentence of Gluve
i jiis, or pardon. So he will have to suffer
the deatli penalty. It is thought a respite
of thirty days will be given him.
A Montana newspaper prints the fol
lowing notice, which shows how horse
thieves are looked upon in that territory:
“The night of the 14th inst. a dark bay
mare, fifteen hands high, small
white star in forehead, both hind feet
white, was stolen from the stable of Ira
Sampson, the undersigned. I will give
the mare and SSO in cash for full and re
liable particulars regarding the funeral
of the thief. That’s the kind of a man I
am.”

During the session of the conference
of the A. M. E. Church in Atlanta
on Saturday last, trouble arose
between Revs. W. J. Gaines and
J. S. Flipper, in which the former
accused the litter to the conference of
insubordination, misinterpretation of the
churj4Kand rebellion against
It. Rev. Flipper
to the first two charges, and begged the
conference’s pardon on promising to do
better in the future. The whole attair

Flipper resigned and left the assembly

ONE OF THE COMING GEE AT MEN.
One of the rising young men of this
country, and one who is destined to make
his mark in politics and statesmanship,
is Col. Lon. V. Stephens, of Booneville,
Missouri. Col. Stephens though but about
twenty-six years old, is an astute politi
cian, an able and sagacious*financier, a
talented and able writer and speaker.
He is president of a National bank in
Booneville, and besides, owns a long
stretch of railroad which he leases to the
Gould system atfd from which lie derives
a large revenue. Col. Stephens is de
servedly popular in his State. He is
a handsome and courtly gentleman, a con
sistent Christian,a man of rare and versa
tile ability with unbounded generosity. It
is more than probable he will be the next
State Treasurer of Missouri.
TO SUSIE, I.V REPLY.
BY “ASA HAKTZ.”
I’ve read your verses, Susie dear,
Addressed to “Captive Hartz,”
Iu exile on a lake girt isle,
And held by Mars’s arts,
And sat me down, and wrote to you,
Avery grateful letter,
The wliich, if you will kindly take,
I’ll like you all the better.
Fair friend, ’twas very kind of you,
To think of humble me,
And send a ray to cheer my heart,
On wings of poesy!
’Tis very sweet to me—the thought—
(And strangely too it seems),
That I. the “Asa Harts,” should tie
The ideal of thy dresma.
1 have a little secret now,
To tell you, Susie dear,
I pray you let me whisper ’t’in,
Your rosy little ear:
I’ve no one left to love me now,
No bart from Cupid’s dart
Has entered yet, within my breast,
Or lodged within my heart;
JCow would you like to change your name
Ere this leap year is o’er?
Just think—where others give a heart,
Why I can give you—Hartz!
Then be my queen—while I’m the ace—
And spite of wind and weather,
We’ll shuffle, cut the cards, and deal,
And euchre time together.

—",rr\TV MESSAGE*
THE THE SI DEM *
, 'fZtiee to the fiftieth
The President s which ag .
Congress of th voluminous
gem bled on .nd a half or
doenmei.t, cor "L coluoon9 G f nonpareil
rrZrUat refers to tlie friend-
f yP i* maintained between this
country and ether powers, but rails at
temion to the fact that we are without
ten • • ag vet for the settlement of
elXrof citizens of the United States
aeainst Chili for injuries during the late
war between that country and Peru. He
alludes to the cruel treatment of the in
oin nsive Chinese in some of the western
States and territories, and recognizes a
willingness on the part of China to assist
in devising a comprehensive remedy, by
which a limit of Chinese emigration,
joined to the protection of those China
men who remain in this country, may be
secured. He says that proper legislation
on tliis subject is needed. The message
refers to the American interests at Pana
ma, the continued sympathy existing be
tween France and America as demon
strated in Bartholdi’s Statue of Liberty,
the submarine cables, and relations with
Germany in reference to naturalized citi
zens of German birth. To the fisheries
dispute the President devotes quite a
space, reviewing his former recommenda
tion as to a mode of settlement, calls at-
tention to tlie fact that negotiations are
still pending, and promises at an early
day that all correspondence in relation to
this subject will be laid before congress,
in reference to the Hawaiian treaty the
President expresses his unhesitating con
viction that the intimacy of our relations
with Hawaii should be emphasized, and
earnestly recommended that tlie existing
treaty stipulation with that country be
extended for a further term of seven
years. In tlie message mention is made of
matters connected with other foreign coun
tries as follows: this country’s relations
with Japan, the weakness of Liberia, tlie
trade with the Netherlands, the mission
to Persia, the peace in Peru, the expedi
tion to Siberia, the Samoan Islands, the
amicable settlement with this country’s
little difficulty with Spain, the treaty
with Turkey, and Venezuelian claims
The Cutting case and Mexico, eomes un
der review and the message states that
tlie watchful care and interest of this
government over its citizens are not re
linquished because they have gone
abroad, and where sucli citizens are
charged witli crime nothing less than a
fair and open trial conducted with a de
cent regard for justice and humanity
will be demanded. lie urges a revision
of the existing legislation concerning tlie
naturalization of foreigners, lie also
recommends that express provision lie
made for the immediate discharge
from custody of prisoners committed for
extradition, where tlie president is of the
opinton that surrender of such persons
should not be made. In the matter of
international copyright, the nresident
trusts that tlie subject will receive at tlie
hands of congress the attention it de
serves, and that tlie just claims of au
thors so urgently pressed will be duly
heeded. He calls attention to tlie need
of a trustworthy inspection as to how
consulates are conducted. From the re
port of the Secretary of the Treasury,
engrafted in the message the toil owing
is noted of receipts and expenditures:
“For the current year, to the end of
June 80, 1887, tlie ascertained receipts up
to October 1,188 G, with sucli receipts
estimated for the remainder of the year,
amount to $356,000,000. The expendi
tures ascertained and estimated for the
same period were $266,000,000, indicating
an anticipated surplus at the close of the
year of $90,000,000.
The president recommends a reduction
of the revenues of the government, as
they far exceed its actual needs, and he
suggests legislative action to relieve the
people from an unnecessary burden of
taxation. The treatment of labor and
taxation is considered at some length, in
referring to this the president says:
“But our farmers and agriculturists,
those who from tlie soil produce the
things consumed by all, are perhaps more
directly and plainly concerned than any
other of our citizens in a just and careful
system of Federal taxation. Those act
ually engaged in and more remotely
connected w ith this kind of work number
nearly one-half our population. None
labor harder or more continuously than
they. No enactments limit their hours
of toil, and no interposition of the gov
ernment enhances to any great extent
the value of their products, and yet for
many of the necessaties and comforts of
life, which the most scrupulous economy
enables them to bring into their homes,
and for their implements of husbandry,
they are obliged to pay a price largely
increased by an unnatural profit, which,
by the action of the government, is given
tlie more favored manufacturer.”
He recommends in this connection that
the increasing and unnecessary surplus
of the National income annually accu
mulating be released to the people by an
amendment to our revenue laws, which
shall cheapen the price of the necessa
ries of life and give free entrance to such
imported materials as by American labor
may be manufactured into marketable
commodities. Nothing can be accom
plished, however, in the direction of this
much needed reform, un’ess the subject
be approached in a patriotic spirit of de
votion to the interests of the entire coun
try, and with a willingness to yield some
thing for the public good.
He reviews all the departments of tlie
government, commends many marked
improvements, recommends the correc
tions ot existing evils, and concludes
with an earnest invocation for such wise
action on tlie part of the people’s legisla
tors as will best subserve .the public and
point to their ability and inclination to
anticipate and meet the people’s require
ments.
HELPING THE POOH.
The prompt action of the city council
and citizens in taking steps to find out
the needy and destitute ones in this com
munity and alleviating their sufferings,
commends itself to every one. Commit
tees were appointed for each ward at the
meeting held on Monday, and the mem
bers of them divided up their districts
and instituted careful search for all who
were in need or suffering and furnished
the necessary relief. A few actual cases
of destitution have been found, but there
is more or less need, and wherever this
need is found to exist and it is known
that those in want deserve the charity of
the people, relief is immediately afforded
them. The need of fuel seems to be
more pressing than anything else at
present, but at the city council and citi
zens meeting, Mr. John T. Owen was
authorized to telegraph for two car loads
of coal and urge its immediate delivery
here for the destitute. Somebody has
said that true philanihropjwis the key to
leaven s gate. It is certainly the grand
est and tlie most enviable trait that a man
eoukl possess. Let If mw ho lias enough,
or more than enough, give to him who
has nothing. The spi.it that evoked tlie
kind and charitable actions ol the citi
zens Monday, and the promptitude and
decisiveness witli which they worked,
calls forth not only the praise of men
and the gratitude of those relieved, but
heaven itself encircles the heads of all
such men who love and help their fel
lows, with the nimbus of God’s approval.
CHESTNUT!
It is a grtat pity that nearly always
the very best tilings aie run to tlie earth,
“done to death” so to speak. A beautiful
song, an entertaining poem, a witty or
sublime saying, anything and everything
nearly that happens to strike the popular
chord is sung, and said, recited and read,
until the very mention of its name almost
calls fortli a frenzied shriek of “chest
nut!” chestnut! chestnut! En passant,
may be mentioned as one of the murder
ed pieces that sweetie, tender and
pathetic poetn “Beautiful Snow,” around
the author of which lias been woven so
many sad and thrilling romances; this is,
realty a beautiful poem, but it lias been
repeated and printed so often that it
sends a chill through a man’s vertebra to
hear it now; catchy, bright and pretty
music meets tlie same fate. The end of
these things are like tlie east oil dress of
a belle, once tlie very embodiment of
fashion, delighting tlie eye, exciting the
admiration and tickling the vanity of the
fair one it adorned, pow cast off, out of
style, and scorned. In consilering this
idea, the very expression just written of
“chestnut” lias grown so old and worn
out that some new term will soon have to
be, invented to supply its pir.ee. It’s
decidedly a “chestnut” now to spring
that exclamation on an unfortunate fel
low when lie perpetrates a stale joke, its
tw in brother tlie “chestnut bell,” whose
soft and subdued little tinkle had force
enough to down the witless one who
sprung a hairy anecdote upon an unof
fended people, lias been relegated to a
back seat in tlie peanut gallery, and its
mild ti ntinnabulation is heard no more
in tlie land. Now why does the excla
mation “chestnut” survive? It is old,
infirm and feeble. Some one lias said it
not only lias whiskers on it but that they
are actually gray, so if the curtain is
rung down and the lights put out on all
tlie beautiful poems, songs and sayings,
and are kept at bay by “chestnut,” isn’t
it about, time that “chestnut” itself was
cracked, eaten and disposed of?
THE 11 SNOWY" SOUTH.
Such a snow storm as prevailed here
last Friday, Saturday and Sunday is cer
tainly unparalleled. By Monday morn
ing the snow fall attained a depth of
nearly if not quite two feet, and tlie
drifts on road sides and embankments
were very deep. Visitors from the north
seeking a balmy climate in the so*vth,
who happen to pass through *his usually
genial section, will fee) that they have a
personal grievance against, the south and
southerners, and might now, while gazing
upon “ear t hs wintry covering” which
blankets the ground to tlie full extent of
the vision, claim that tlie “Sunny South
comes under tlie ban of the statute of
frauds. Leaving the rigors of the north
the health and camfort seekers, look lor
sempiternal verdue, the blooming mag
nolia, the sweet violet and tlie blushing
rose, but just at this juncture they draw
their furs and overcoats around them
more closely, and declare that they have
swapped a “witch tor the devil” and
refuse to be comforted by the explanation
that snow falls and icicles and polar like
winters are as unusual in the south as
lawn dresses and white vests are on
Greenland’s icy mountains.
Congress convened in its fiftieth ses
sion last Monday, amid the usual scenes
and incidents of the occasion. Nearly
all of tlie members of tlie House of Rep
resentatives were on hand tlie first day.
The reading of tlie Dresident’s message
consumed nearly the whole of Monday’s
session.

I have seen no ticket suggested for

be taking any interest in the matter. Ai-e
the people going to lay still and let an
other full bridge ticket be elected? If
they do, every man who owns land on the
river will stand a good chance of having
a bridge ouilt for his convenience. Let
the good work go on. We have plenty’
of money in the treasury and taxs are
so low that no one is inconvenienced
these Hush times to get up the mere pit
tance of one dollar per hundred. I think
there ought to be gotten up a ticket of good
business men who will pledge themselves
squarely against building more bridges.
It is clearly wrong for two-thirds of the
county to be taxed for a thing they de
rive no benefit from. Let this matter be
agitated and the people aroused.

GEORGIA’S ORPHANS.
THK NORTH GEORGIA ORPHANS*
HOME TRANSKSKRKD TO THE
KKTI R E COST HOI, O F R EV.
SA M JON I S.
What Mr. Jones Says About Ir.
Rev. S tm. Jones returned from Augus
ta Tuesday morning where he had been
attending the session of tlie North Geor
gia Conference. lie was seen by a
Courant reporter and questioned as to
the transfer of the North Georgia Or
phan’s Home at Decatur, to his entire
charge and control. In reply to the
query as to his present relations to the
Orphan’s Home, and in what respect it
differed from his relations to it in the
past, Mr. Jones said :
“The trustees of the Orphans’ Home
have turned over their management to
myself; not only the maintenance of the
Home rests upon me, but the superintend
ent, matron and teachers aie selected and
appointed by me.”
Have you fixed upon any persons for
these places ?
“Mr. Hollenv.n, of Rome, comes best
recommended to me for siipeiintendent,
he was for seven y< as in charge of the
Augusta Orphans’ Home. Theolßee of
superintendent is a very important one,
tlie superintendency and care of a num
ber of children. The superintendent
ought to be an intelligent, cultured and
business man. The matron should be a
motherly woman, warm hearted, intel
lectual and economical, witli first-class
management at tlie Home, and an eco
nomical administration of its financial
features. I hope to make the Home com
mend itself to all people everywhere,
who belieVe in caring for those who
have no one to care for them.”
Will you have an advisory board to
assist in its control ? -
“Mr. R. A. Hemphill and Mr. W. A.
Gregg, both trustees in tlie old board,
will assist me with counsel and practical
etforts for the advancement of tie
Home.”
ilow many are in tlie Home now?
“About forty, perhaps equally divided
between boys and girls.” By tlie way,
in speaking just now of Messrs. Hemp
hill and Gregg, I want to say that they
are not only first-class business men, but.
their hearts lie right along on a line with
the work which I have asked them to
help mein. It may be with a first-class
superintendent that the Home will man
age itself, and that I will have but little
else to do farther than to see that they
have tlie funds necessary lor its mainte
nance.”
Upon what conditions did tlie trustees
turn over this Home to you?
“I made three propositions to tlie
board of trustees.
First —That I would buy their Horne
and take the children.
Secondly—That I would take tlie chil
dren and they keep tlie Home and planta
tion, or that they could put six ladies as
trustees of tlie Home, with one gentle
man as chairman of the board and ex
officio treasurer. If. It that under its
past management the Home was not
developing and culminating according to
my idea of an Orphans’ Home. The
board of trustees are all Christian gentle
men, but they are scattered throughout
the state, and besides are all busy men
with enough to do without this extra tax
upon their time and mind.”
Won’t you find th* a a T6T7 pressing
burden on vou ?
“Tlie difference between the old and
new' management will be simply that the
responsibility is concentrated upon one
man. The beard of trustees considered
the three propositions, and by resolution
turned tlie Home and children over to me
to be run in accordance wi h the funda
mental rules of tlie charter, and also
appointed a committee which will report
within tlie next twenty days, to investi
gate the legal features as to their disposi
tion of the property they hold in trust.
I found in talking with several of the
board that they were willing, if there was
no legal embodiment, to deed the prop
erty to a board of trustees named by my
self, who would hold the property in
trust and fee simple for tlie use and bene
fit of an Orphans' Home. It is my pur
pose, as soon this question is settled by
tlie board, to erect additional buildings
and make for the orphans of my
state a refuge and a home that will
be an honor to the state and a
blessing to hundreds of orphan children.
I feel that in tlie providence of God He
has put me where I can do something
that will be permanent in its character
and broad and beneficial to orphans in its
work. The action of the old board of
trustees in the matter of the disposition
of their property, will di t irrnine whether
1 will put additional there or whether
the Home will be located elsewhere. It
is the purpose of my heart and mind, il
God shall spare my life, to build up and
endow an Orphans’ Home as near my
ideal of what such a thing should be as
possible. I have visited many of the
Orphans’ Homes of the United States and
Canada, and I never have gone into one
of these well managed Homes but what
I have felt that Georgia must have some
thing like them and if I live she shall
have as good as tlie best.”
The Home is not sectarian, is it?
“No, it is not sectarian in its practical
working.”
To whom should applications for ad
missions be made?
“All applications for admission must be
addressed to the Superintendent of the
Orphans’ Home, Decatur, Georgia.
“Please give space to the following
card ami request the religious and secular
press of North Georgia to copy the same.”
To the Superintendents and Sabbath Schools
of North Georgia :
The time rolls around again and it is
your privilege to express your kindness
to the orphans at Decatur in the way of
boxes and bundles of Christmas presents,
consisting of clothing, shoes, bedding
and Santa Claus gifts generally. I shall
arrange with the express companies to
ship free to tlie Horae such packages as
you may send. Just mark and ship tlie
boxes, bundles packages, etc., to the Or
phan’s Home, Decatur, Georgia.
I hope that some one in each town and
several in each city, will interest them
selves and aid our orphans. 1 have fed
and clothed these orphan children for two
years without a dollar’s cost to Georgia,
and I ask that our friends now respond
in the kind presentation of such gifts as
they can by or before Christmas day.
Yours very truly,

“Her majesty,” writes a London cor
respondent, “eats at state dinners with
out gloves.” The reason for that is at
once apparent. It enables her majesty
to get a better grip on the wing of a
chicken. In wrestling with the common
hen of commerce at tlie dinner table, she
must be bandied without gloves, or the
battle is lest. Gloves would also be very
much in the way when her majesty de
sired to clutch an ear of corn by each
end, the tip and the lobe, so to speak,
while she gnawed at it amidships. You
see, there are a hundred emergencies that
might arise during the progress of state
dinners wherein gloves would be in the
way. —Brooklyn Eagle.

I have been troubled with Acute In
flamatory Rheumatism for many years.
1 liave tried every remedy I could hear
of, but could get no permanent relief.
Finally I was prevailed upon to try
HINMCUTT’S RHEUMATIC CURE.
After taking one bottle I began to im
prove, and when I had taken six bottles
I was sound and well. I have not been
as free of rheumatism for forty-five years,
and Hunnieutt’s Rheumatic Cure Is en
titled to all the credit. Ido not believe
is a case of Acute Inflamatory or
Chronic Rheumatism your remedy will
not cure, if taken according to directions
and persevered m. I have advised many
of my friends to use it, and in not a single
case has it failed to cure.
