The Wilcox county court house
is said to be a very fine one. For
$50,000 it should be the best.
Superior court will be held at
Blackshear, in Fierce county, next
week. • Several Douglas lawyers
will go down.

England has made application to
Georgia for young men who will
go to Africa and teach the natives
how to make cotton.

That the New York World is
opposed to Jlearst as a presidential
candidate is not surprising. In
business matters it does the same.

Macon made a success of the
State Fair, and the people were

The clothing manufacturers and

continued warm weather makes no
sales for heavy clothing.

The majority of democratic con

Georgia are marching on Augusta,

The Sunday laws will be enforc
ed to the letter in Waycross. The
grand jury has had every druggist
in town before that body, and in j
future nothing but drugs cun be
purchased on the Sabbath.
Some of the negroes who went
from Ocilla to South America last
spring have returned to the United
States, and will soon be at their
old homes in Irwin county. They
are not inclined to try any other
country.

Manley Peacock who was shot
over at Eastman last .Saturday by
11. G. Avcrett whose wife he had
seduced and eloped with to Birm

who was also shot by Peacock,
before he had fired a single shot,
seems to be recovering.

The B. <Si 15. having discontin
ued one train over the A. A 15.
from Brunswick to Irvvinville caus
es more talk, and there are nu
merous rumors in the air, as to
how the B. & 15. will proceed.
We are in the dark on that subject,
but we hope some means may he
brought out of chaos to build it to
Doug’as.
Parties wishing to enter the
printing office at this season should
be governed by the following rules,
says an exchange: “Advance to
the inner door and give tiiree 'dis
tinct raps or kick the door down.
“The devil will attend the alarm,
you will give him your name, post
office address and the number of
years you have been owing the pa
per. He will admit you, you ad-
vance to the center of the room and
address the editor with the follow
ing countersign : “Extend the right
hand about two feet from the body
with the thumb and linger extend
ed, the thumb and index finger
clasping a sio bill which drops into
the extended hand of the editor, at
the same time saying : “Were you
for me?” The editor will grasp at
the hand and bill and say: “You
bet" After giving him news con
cerning your locality you will be
permitted to retire with a receipt
for an obligation properly dis
charged.”—Ex
The Grand Jury and the People-
Two successive graud juries of
Wilcox county, in the spring and
fall terms of Wilcox superior court,
recommended that the commission
ers of that county build a new
court house. It will be remember
ed that there were two factions at
that time, one of which wanted the
court house at Rochelle, and the
other wanted it built at Abbeville.
The jury in the fall, we are told,
voted on this subject of recommen
dation when there were only eigh
teen members present, being seven
against and eleven in fftvor, but the
minority claimed the oth
er five members been present there
would not have been any recom
mendation, that “wire pulling fby
malicious persons brought out the
result.” Referring to this some
weeks ago, we said :
“Sometimes the recommenda
tions of a grand jury do not ex
press the sentiments 0/ the body,
only show the shrewd wire, pulling
of a few prompted by malice.’ For
this reason the presentments of
grand juries are often without Ef
fect.” ‘
Thinking that The Breeze refer
red to the Coffee county grand
jury, and anxious to create an ill
feeling toward this paper, tire Cof
fee County Gazette grabbed the
item as a sweet morsel and rolling
it under its editorial tongue said :
“The above shows what The
Breeze thinks of the grand’- jury.
Wonder what the grand jury thinks
of The Breeze?”
In the case under discussion by
The Breeze, it does not care what
the grand jury of Wilcox county
thinks, for it is not supposed they
even knew or cured for what we
said.
Perhaps it was natural for the
editor of The Gazette to assume, as
he did, that vvc referred to our own
grand jury, as it was just after court,
! but it was also just after the tax
collector of Wilcox county had
been prevented by injunction, from
collecting the court house tax, by
the people, showing that the rec
ommendation of the gran-d jury,
eleven against seven, with five ab
sent, did not express the sentiment
of that body, nor meet the views
of the people. They (the people)
fought the collection of the taxes,
but have lost, and the people must
pay ,$50,000 for a court house rec
ommended by two grand juries and
built by order of the county com
missioners.
The editor of The Gazette is a
very shrewd gentleman, still his
desire to harm a contemporary al
lows his inquisitiveness to get the
best of him. For his benefit »ve
may state that the Supreme court
has turned down the injunction of
the people, and the tax collector
will proceed to collect the heaviest
tax ever levied in any county in
Georgia.
The Southern Book Publishing
Co., fought for uniform school
books and we are in favor of the
contract to supply those books be
awarded them,
Whenever you leave an order
for Job Printing at this office you
may expect satisfaction or your
money back or the work done
over. Prices will be right, too.
The Macon Telegraph and the Sa
vannah Press, two excellent papers,
seem to think the democratic vic
tory in New \ ork last week points
to the nomination of Grover Cleve
land-
A young mhn connected with the
Gazette from the
Waycfoss last Wednesday
! night and reported that he saw
nothing down there but a seventeen
loot snake. It must have been a
horrid brand that John Greer was
furnishing to visitors of the craft.
A certain young man in town
says he w.ll see his best girl next
Christmas and expects to ask her
an important question. If she
answers “Yes," we are to furnish
dinner for the two and the young
man is to give the editor of this
paper .150.00. That’s the contract,
signed sealed and delivered, and
we’re writing to that girl. Sho!
