The county commissioners decided
ut their meeting last week to build a
$10,(100 court house by issuing bonds
for that amount payable in thirty
years. The details will be perfected
by their attorney, Col. R. H. Shef
field, between now and their next
meeting on the 1st Tuesday in June.

You are much more liable to dis
ease when your liver anb bowels do
not act properly. DeWitt’s Little
Early risers remove the cause of dis
ease. R. L. Hicks.
Irish Tramp—“Good raornin’, sor;

DeWitt's Little Early Risers search
the remotest parts ot bowelH and re
move the impurities speedily with no
discomfort. They are lamo.is for
their efficacy. Easy to take, never
gripe. R. L. Hicks.
A lawyer in a courtroom may call
a man a liar, scoundrel, villain or
theif, and no one makes a complaint
when court adjourns. If a newspa
per prints suoli reflections on a ihihi’b
character there is a libel suit or a
dead editor. This is owing to the
<f mt that the people believe wnat an
editor says; what a lawyer suys cuts
no figure.
Lkin affections will readily disap
ptsr by using DeWitt’s Witch Hazel
Salve. Lookout for counterfeits. If
you got DoWiu ! s you will get. good
results. It is the quick Hud positive
yi'ye for piles. R. L. Hicks. .
Good roads in the country are
just 08 important as good streets in
t ie city. The farmers of this county
ought to get together during the dull
days of the summer and formulate
some plan to improve the highways.
If a few enterprising farmer* will
take up this proposition they can, by
interesting every land owner nnd resi
dent, of the county, lay the founda
tion for permanent road betterment
Mr. W. J. Baxter, of North Brook,
N. C., says he suffered with piles
for fifteen years. He tried many reut-
mlics with no results until he used
DeWitt’s Witeli Hazel Salve and
that quickly cured him. R L. Jlioks.

a.line attendance of clerical and lay
delegates.
No less than seventy-nine Presby
teries are represented in this body,
which is one of the most noted re
ligious parliaments that meets in this
county. Presbyterian ministers are
famous the world over for the.r learn
ing and general preparation for their
work n* well as for their zeal and
devotion. It is impossible for a man
who is not well educated to enter the
Presbyterian ministry. The south
ern branch of that church; especially,
lias been and is laiuous for its learn
ed and eloquent pulpiteers. The as
sembly at Little liock will therefore
furnish a rich feast of reason, as well
delightful flow of religious
spirit.
The great organization which this
body represents lias grown steadily
and with 'increased rapidity during
the past few years. The past year
has been an unusually prosperous one
for it.
The delegates have therefore dome
together buoyant in hope as they are
steadfast In the faith. They are hap
py over the prospects of a continued
growth and extension ot the church
to which they are so deeply devo
ted.
The assembly lias many matters of
importance to consider and act on,
besides the reports of the operations
of the various church organizations
for the past year.
One of these special matters is the
election of a new secretary of home
missions made necessary by the death
of the lamented Dr. .1 N. Craig, of
tins city, some months ago.
A strong effort will be made to
remove thu headquarters of the home
mission hoard from Atlanta io Little
lioek. The Presbyterians of Geor
gia are well represented at the as
sembly and will be able to give good
reports of the condition and pros
pects of their church in this state,—

A big land suit has been filed in
the federal court at Macon by Hall
& Wimberly as attorneys for Mrs.
Caroline A. Kilgore, of Utah feui-
torrv, Mis. Arinina T. Anderson, of
Dekalb county, Ala., and her fifteen
year old son, S. Robert H. Anderson,
against J. B. Norman, Jr., of Col
quitt county, and fifty-seven other
defendants, the majority of whom re
side in Colquitt county. Among the
defendants are Virginius G. Hitt and
W. W. Ash burn, of Atlanta, and the
Union Lumber Company, whose
place of business is in Fulton county
The defendants, who are particularly
mentioned in the suit are Henry M
Hitt, now deceased, who was a real
estate agent in Richmond county
and A. T. McIntyre, Jr., also deceas
ed, who was a law’yer in Thomas
county. Virginias G. Hitt, of Atlan
ta, is administrator on the estate of
his late brother, Henry M. Hilt, and
Henry G. Turner, ot Brooks county,
is administrator on the estate of A
T. McIntyre, Jr.
The suit involves the ownership of
nineteen lots of valuable land, consis
ting of 490 acres each, a total of 9,-
310 acres, all lying m the county of
Colquitt, but originally in tlie county
of Irwin, and then Thomas.
The suit will have to be amended,
in so far as the estate of Mr. A. T
McIntyre, Jr., is concerned. Henry
G. Turner is not the administrator of
that estate. Mr. Samuel L. Hayes is
the administrator. The case is at
tracting a'good deal of attention, and
will no doubt be a hard fought one
We understand that the Union
Lumber Company do not own, or
claim any of the lands, but they have
bought and paid for the timber on
three ot the lots invoyled.

We have had so much muddle and
gush about “the new south” that we
suspect it 1ms become wearisome to
northern audiences to whom it
usually addressed in a sort of apolo
getic manner. It has certainly worn
the patience aud excited the contempt
of very many persons in the south
It is therefore refreshing to read
the following words which Were lit
tcred a few days ago by Mayor
Smyth, of Charleston, in an address
to tlie Southern Railway Agents’ As
sociation:
“You will not find this a new
Charleston. We do not believe
that anv more than in the new south.
We are unchanged in our reverence,
iu our loye and devotion to the grand
principles of the olden time; we are
loyal, we always will he loyal to
the glorious teachings of our heroic
past.”
We have no doubt that every
northern man who ^ieard Mayor
Smyth’s speech felt a great deal
more respect for hitn thgn would
have been inspired by anything in
the nature of a penitential plea.—

Mr. Easel, a stiller on Capt. J. K
Sharpe’s turpentine place at Twilight
had twotmudred and fifteen dollars
stolen from him a few days ago. Aj
young man bearing the name of
Cravin, who rode the woods, was sus
pected, arrested and lodged in jail
here about a week ago.
The day after Ins arrest he acknowl
edged that he had committed the
robbery and made known to Sheriff
J. S. Wilkin the slump bole in which
the money was hid. The money was
restored to Mr. Easel.
Cravin waived a commitment trial
and will most probably languish be
hind the prison bars until the Octo
ber term ot Superior Couit.—Miller

The collection of Assyrian and
Babylonian records at the British
Museum has revealed more of the
domestic life of people who lived
5,000 years ago than is known in the
case of our own countrymen 1,000
years ago, says the London Chroni
cle. Such was the opinion expressed
by Mr. W. St. Chad Boscawen when
he explained these relics to an inter
ested audience recently. The clay
bricks and cylinders beneath the
glass cases were covered with char
acters testifying to a completely or
ganized system of justice, marriage,
divorce and commerce. The book
keeping of 5,000 years ago was
shown to be wonderfully accurate.
A curious form of record is that pre
served in tlie form of baked clay tab-
tublets, which were inclosed in clay
envelopes, also enscrlbed with the
terms of the transaction, so that a
double record provided against the
possibilities of damage. The “open
and closed evidence,, spoken of by
Jeremiah-is supposed to reter io this
svstem. The practice of recording
oil h brick the name of the King, of
tlie building and of the city in winch
it was being erected lias had tlie ad-jj
vantage m modern days..Hint an odd I
brick may become the means of dis- ‘
interring a city intherto unknown, j
