At the pres nt ti dp Jt-fleisonun
democracy consists of theories a. and
piinuip cs that Jctt-rson would go
out of the way to kick.
Don’t fool yourself about the free
coinage of silver. It does not nut
a dollar more into circulation, and
can he refused as legal tender b\
our importers. Listen to Cleve
land and learn something.
These Geoigia woods are just a.-
full of democrats as they are of
pines and blackjacks, and they ere
just as hard to down. You ha\e to
cut the i down and dig up the
st umps to get rid of them, and then
you can’t do it. Democracy wili
not down.
A prominel Griffin gentleman
says that there can only be one so

that the goldbugs and silverites
will agree to —and that is to mix

WOULD IT NOT BE AWFULLY
MEAN?
Christ loves to save sinners. He
came into this world to seek and to
save them. He pursues them ail
(Ko litwo mitt, Ki J n-nf.i.,o, 1 .—I - 0
spirit, and is glad to receive and
saye them at all times. But it often
happens that when some poor sin
ner sees his lost condition and tie
sires to be saved, Satan tries te pre>
vent his making a complete sur
render to Christ. He suggests that
it is too late, that it would be <iis
honorable, or unmanly, or mean to
ask Christ to save him now. The
following from theQiuver is to the
point on ibis subject:
“Some years ago in the Edin
burgh University there was a fine
manly fellow, a medical student,
a very Hercules in strength, but as
gentle and loving as he was strong
He was immensely popular, the
captain of the football club, and
not a cricket match was considered
complete without him. He was a
man of good intellectual gifts as
well. He taught typhoid fever
while attending the infirmary, amt
soon he lay dying in a private ward
One of the house physicians —an
earnest Christian and successful
soul-winner —spoke to ’him about
God and eternity. The dear fellow
listened, became anxious, and
eagerly heard the story of redeem
ing love. “Will you give yourself
to Jesus?' asked the doctor. He
did not answer for a space, and
then, earnestly regarding the man
of God, he said. ‘But don't you
think it would be awfully mean just
to make it up now, at my last gap,
with One I have rejected ail my
life?’ ‘Yes, it would be mean; but,
my dtar fellow, it would be far
meaner not to do it. He wants you
to do it now, for He has made you
willing; and it would be doubly
mean to reject a love that is pui
suing you even to death.’ T 1 e
dying man saw the point, and,
apprehending the great:ess < f
that exceeding love, he east bimselt
upon the Eternal Heart of Mercy
and passed away in sweet blessed
ness and peace. May the contiru
anee and perseverance of Christ's
love—his pursuing love—be an
argument with you who read these
Hues ; unless, indeed, you have
already received Christ. Many a
long year has he pursued y oCk and
will you still say him n ty?i Do
not let your own pa3t f-dly stand
in the way of the salvation ( ffered
’otillbut life may be quickly
fleeting, and the ‘still' may be very

GRaND jury presentments.
We, tiie Grand Jury for the October
term of the Superior Court of Hutts
County, make the fol’owing general pre
sentments*
We have examined, through our com
mittees, the books of the various c.uniy
officers and the dockets of the justices oi
peace and notaries public submitted to us,
and find them kept in terms of law*
The clerk and sheriff report that no
money belonging to the county has passed
through their bauds since the last term of
this court. 'the judge of the county
court reports that $10.05 belonging to the
connty has passed through his hands, for
w hieh he has the proper vouchers. The
report of county treasurer is herewith at
tached and made a part of our present
ments.
We find that the H >or of the jah is in
need of repairs, also that the buildings on
ihe poor-farm occupied by the superin
tendent needs recovering and the window -
sash repaired, all of which vve recom
mend to be done at once. The pauper
farm has been well managed, and has
produced this year five bales of cotton,
250 bushels of corn and a fine crop of
potatce 3 , oats, etc. TLe paupers, seven in
number, have been welUcared for in com
fortable quarters.
We find upon examination of the tax
digest that a number of persons arid cor
porations have returned their piopert v
below its value, and we have manted such
returns in red ink, to which we call the
attention of the tax receiver for 1894.
We recommend F. Z. Curry for notary
public for the 612 District, G. M., made
vacant by the resignation of 11 N Ry ara.
We recommend that J. E. Price and J
M- Crawford be paid $lO each for g/iard
mg F. Al. lUcaver, also that the jurors
and bai iffs in attendance on the court be
paid two dollars per day for next teim
and the lidtug bailiffs one dollar per
day for use of li orse and one dollar per
day extra lor the clerk of gland jmy.
We find that there are places in the
public roads that are in such a condition
that it is impossible for the road hands to
fix, and we recommend that upon the re
quest of the commissioners of said roads
that the Judge of the county court visit
and examine such places aud have such
work done as he may deem necessary.
IFe recommend the biulding of a bridge
across Indian creek at Henley’s mill, the
cost not to exceed $125, also that a bridge
be built across the brauch at Jink’s Gin.
IPe call the attention of the judge of
the county court to the bridge near the
residence of Mr. Wm. Saunders, on the
road from Jackson to /Stark, and ask him
to have the abutments to said bridge filled
in and make it passable or move it out of
the road.
In taking leave of his Honor, Judge
Jno. T. Hunt, we desire to express our
approval of the able manner in which
he has conducted the business of the court,
and we endorse the action of Governor
Noithen in appointing him to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of Hon.
J V S. Hoynton, being a sured of his
ability to fill the office efficiently. We
heartily recommend the General Assem
bly to elect him to fill the unexpired term.
We return thanks to one able Solicitor,
Gen’l. At. W. Heck, for courtesies shown
and services rendered to us during our
1 session.
We recommend that each paper in this
county publish these presentments and be
paid five dollars for same.

To the People of Butts County and Surrounding
Counties:
This is the place to buy your winter shoes. We
can and will save you from ten to twenty per cent,
if you buy shoes of us. This assertion you will no
doubt consider nothing but an advertisement and
amounts to nothing. Now, we beg you to come in,
take a good look at our shoes, examine them closely
and see our prices. Then if you don’t think they are
cheap and good, we won’t ask you to buy.
How is it we can sell shoes cheaper than other
houses? We bought this immeuse stock in Boston
during the great money panic, and with the cash in
hand we bought almost at our own prices. We don’t
buy our shoes of drummers and small manufactories,
but go direct to headquarters, and buy Of the largest
manufacturers fOr the SPOT CASH, thus we
CAN SELL BELOW ALL COMPETITION.
Other houses may try to imitate our prices by offering a bargain at or below cost
but take a line of shoes through “THEY ARE A'OT IjY IT. As we need money, this
immense stock M UST BE SOLD. So we have put Panic Prices on them . Come and
buy Shoes of us at PaMC PRICES.
