Mr. Horn, of Griffin, was in town this week. He has rented one of Mr. Almands new stores. We never saw the like of people wanting to rent houses, as at present, in Jackson. We have heard a number of our citi zens declare themselves for General Gartrell for Governor. A gentleman sent us word the other day to stop our paper. We will con sider the matter ; but hardly think we shall suspend yet awhile. The American Light Infantry, of Americas, are visiting Indian Springs. Why can’t the United States mail now he carried over the new railroad? If you want to sell your commodities in Butts county, advertise in the News. It is circulated in all parts of the coun ty. Messrs M. A. Linrlsey of TFarrior, BiM> county, and S. N. Kicffer, of Ma con Ga., were here last week, on a prospecting tour. Mead Hendrick is feeling good all over.

Patterson, Griffin Ga., solic -bring him all your fruit. He .and will pay you a bring him. and gins. 8* ~ ' "p and The stock law goes into effect, in Butts county, 20th day of January 1883. A number of citizens of the county swore they had paid their tax, and vo ted last W ednesday. W e leaan Rev. Henry Quigg, ot Con yers, Ga., will preach at the Baptist church, in this place, on next Fridav night. Ike Slaughter says it is a remarkable fact that every one-eyed fence man got the “no” on the red tickets, on the blind side of him last Wednesday. Mr. J. J. Barns, of Worthville, sent us the finest and nicest peach that we ever saw. It measured lIJ inches around. Have you forgotten our proposition, that the one bringing us the largest watermelon this season, will be enti tled to a years subscription to the Nf.Ws? But one has been brought in so far. An accommodation train, for the convenience of visitors to Indian Springs, is now run from Macon to Jackson leaving Macon every Satur day evening and returning Monday morning. Gus Cloud is still on a quandary in regard to moving his brick machine. He brought a sample of dirt from some point above Atlanta, with which to make a test. He wants to be certain of success where ever he may deter min to go. Look here! It will soon be time to look up a man to represent Batts coun ty. There seems to be no objections to Major Fletcher, lets shove him through. He will make us a good rep resentative. Some of the boys are out of humor because Uncle Alex., is nominated. Cool down fellows, its a bitter pill for some of you, but the voice of the peo ple are against you. Take it good hu moredly as did Jim AfcDaniel on the fence question and the red tickets. Our citizens seems to be so absorbed in the bright future of our town that they have forgotten the dead. The condition of our grave yard is a dis giace to a civilized community. Owing to absent witnesses the county court accomplished but little up to this writing. A verdict of not guilty was obtained in two cases “car rying consealed weapons.” All that portion of New tan county lying this side of Yellow river, three districts, voted on the stock law last Saturday. The “no fence” carried the day. A number of “no fence” men, ex pressed themselves displeased with the successful attempt at deceiving fence men to vote for “no fence” by means of the red tickets. Live and learn,” says Jim McDaniell. You should read as well as vote boys. “Stick’em in Jim, you are running this thing to-day,” said Bob Lawson to Jim McDaniel who voted about 20 red tickets thinking they were for “fence.” “You are mighty right,” said Jim. “I’m put’nm in in a hurry.” Jim didn’t dis cover the trick until he came back to Jackson, his own district, and it is £a id would have lost his own vote, bail not his attention been called to the fact that the red tickets were ail “no fence” tickets. Jim sorter weaken but took it all good humoredly, and laughed it off by saying, “It won’t hurt me no how, I was only opposed to “no fence” because some of my neighbors had no pastures. The Democracy of Butts county are requested to meet in Jackson on the Ist Tuesday, in August, to appoint del egates to the 26th Senatorial District to convene in Griffin on the sth of Au gust. E. E. Pound, Chairman Executive Committee. There being only one bidder, the contract for building the wall around the court house yard, was not let out on the 22d instant. Judge Carmichael informs us that he will make a private contract, and the construction of the wall will soon be commenced. Our delegates have returned from Atlanta in a good hmnor. The follow ing gentlemen were nominated by the Democratic convention for the vari ous offices. The two-third rule being adopted, A. O. Bacon withdrew his name. The nomination of Alexander Stephens by acclimation was objected to, and the calling of the role of counties was or dered, which resulted as follows: Ste phens 325; blank, 37; Marton J. Craw ford, 4; W. E. Smith, 2 ; Geo. P. Woods, 2. N. C. Barnes was nominated for Secretary of the State; H’in. A. Wright for Comptroller-general ; I). N. Speer, for Treasurer ; Clifford Anderson, At torney-general. Thomas J/ardemail, I for Congressman at large. Photography a first-class picture of mem tier of your 'WAE. L. Hen- Some of the colored laborers have struck for a dollar per day. They are not satisfied with 75 cents for a days work. The strike has not amounted to much as yet, other hands having been secured at the usual price. Some of the negroes have been influenced to quit work, by the leaders, whome we learn are Gus Goodman, Monroe Moore and others. Our citizens, or at least a number of them, say they will not give these influential colored strikers work at any price, and more-over, if they come around their works threatening laborers, they will make it “warm enough for them to seek a cooler cli mate.” We would advise our color ed people to desist from this course ; 75 cents per day is a p.:etty fair price for common day labor, and if the scar city of labor demands it, they will get better prices without any trouble. As soon ns crops are laid by, labor will be still more plentiful and cheaper. ■' ♦ ♦ ♦ Some of the boys say they will have our present representative’s hide on a pole before long and then—boys the Doctor, we think, is conscientious in his opinions regarding the stock law, and if he is wrong it is an error of hand and not the heart. While he did not introduce the bill into the legislature, he offered among others, the most ap propriate, and in fact the only clause in the “stock law” that protects the tenant. There are plenty of land own ers who would deprive you of all your stock, hence the following amendment was offered by Dr. Mays. “Sec. VII. Be it further enacted, That each owner or proprietor of lands in any Malitia district adopting the pro visions of this Act, who shall rent his lands, or establish a system of tenant ry thereon, shall furnish pasturage for at least one cow and calf, for the fami ly of each tenant provided that said tenant shall do his proportionate part of fencing.” This will relieve the minds of many who are under the impression that land lords were not compelled to fur nish pasturage. It is true you are limited to but one cow, but if you will keep a good cow, she will give you more and better milk than three or four sorry cows, and be of less expense to you. We learn the lessee of the State’s property at Indian Springs, and the council of that place have had some trouble. The Spring is very inaccess ible for the citizens on this side of the creek in very wet weather, and the council contracted for a foot bridge to be built from the hill, across the States property to the Springs, it seems without consulting the lessee, who became offended and would havo the work torn up as fast as the hands could do it, and finally ordered them to stop. The council then got out a bill of in junction restraining the lessee and com pleted the bridge. The bill will be heard before Judge Stewart. It is astonishing that objections should he raised by any-body, at any improvement fiat might be put there. We arc sure there is every thing to be gained by it and nothing to lose, as there is anything else but improve ments on the reserve. And what is more astonishing, there has been no improvements made towards beautify ing and making the place attractive and accessible, under the provisions of the lease. And what is still more astonishing, we say astonishing, we are not astonished at anything Colquitt does ; consequently it is not astonishing that he has neglected to investigate the lease of the Indian Springs Reser vation, notwithstanding, he was so in structed by the last legislature, in a bill introduced by our representative. That the provisions of the lease has not been complied with, is unequivo cally so, and the matter demands the attention of the State, and more par ticularly the people of Butts county. It is a valuable piece of property, and should be made respectable for the con venience of the whole State. The peo ple of Indian Springs are particularly interested in this matter. Col. Lamar, it is true, is a man of some note and considerable wealth. But he has not done bis duty under the lease of this property, and a 1 lie cares for is what he makes off of it. The interest he has manifested proves it; he would’nt care if people had to mire up to their knees in mud and filth, lease or no lease, so he pocketed the proceeds, and carry them off to Macon where they will never be of any benefit to Butts county. Indian Springs could be made the Hour of the South, as a summer resort. It is free to every-body, and our people and the legislature should see that it is made perfectly and easily accessible jtf| beautiful, and adorned with evcrvA necessary to make it attrac'd; V pleasant.
