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 lution to the money question, one that the goldbugs and silverites will agree to —and that is to mix ’em up and coin ’err together.”— Griffin Call. 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 short " t STARstore 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. J. A. Me Michael, Foreman.

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.
