the Grand Jury was thorough, able and el

of concealed weapons. In this connection,
he. with much pathos, alluded to the recent
tragedy in Atlanta, published in our edi

A Delicate Operation.
Dr. A. J. Mathews, of our town, as
sisted by Dr. Page, removed a cataract
from the left eye of Mr. William Cooper,
of Murphy, Cherokee County, N. C., last
Thursday. We witnessed the operation,
which is exceedingly painful and nice, as
one can well imagine, as a kind of needle
lias to be run into the eye to crush the
cataract. Mr. .Murphy stood the operation
with superhuman fortitude. Never a groan
escaped him nor a muscle quivered, not
withstanding the exquisite torture he suf
fered. lie is doing finely, although he will
have to remain in a dark room for some
days, lie would make a brave soldier.

Last week, in Atlanta, one of the most
successful and enterprising merchants said
to us : *• About a year ago we concluded
to try printer's ink. We selected forty
newspapers to advertise in, the Hartwell
Sun among them, and kept a book and en
quired of new customers how they knew
of us and what paper they saw our ad
vertisements in, and The Hartwell
Sun brought us twenty-five per cent, more
trade than any other paper.” This is a
fact—no buncombe. This firm now has
about 3,500 customers.

It is worth a trip to Atlanta just to feast
one’s eyes upon the gorgeous display of
China. Granite and all other kinds of crock
ery and Glassware with the thousand and
one other useful and ornamental articles
for housekeeping and the comfort of the
richest and poorest people, to be found at
Mcßride & Co's. We had no idea of buy
ing a bill when we entered, but before leav
inc bought a big one. The polite and gen
tlemanly clerks wait on all alike, whether
buying at retail or wholesale, and all their
goods are as che p as they can be purchas

We learn where Schaefer furnishes a

him Cotton op'ion 15c on the provisions.

the conductors if their name was not .Mc-
Cool; but we struck him last week. A poor
woman, with three little chileren got on the
train at a station arid took that always
shunned side seat next to the door. When
the conductor came in he moved them to a
comfortable scat, and as there was not
room to seat the whole party comfortably,
he took one of the children in his arms and
fixed it up snugly on a seat by the side of
a clever-looking old gentleman. We gave
the conductor our card and he handed us
his in return, which read thus: •• J. A. Mc-
Cool. Conductor, Atlanta. Ga.”

EDITORS Sux : Last week was court
week. It passed oft I might snv ns usual,
and I might very properly say not as usual.
Judge Bottle presided with his usual air
of dignity, sanctity. Imperativeness anil
tyrannisni ; or. I might snv a little more
so than ever before. For he certainly
merited more than ever before the displeas
ure of the people of the town and county.
1 will give as an example of his most de
spicable rigidity his actions on Tuesday of
last week as to a case, which ho called an
outrage upon public justice and a very high
degree of contempt for His Most Illustri
ous Honor. It is ns follows : On the morn
ing of the dav above mentioned, one Mr.
‘'olcman. an auctioneer from Athens, np
died to the city council for license to sell
g tods at public ou’ery. Tho council, as a
matter of course, granted the • license, for
which the man paid t' e usual price—slo.
A ter having obtained his license bespread
.oine of his wares on a counter in front of
ihe old stand of das. A. Sanders A Son.
using (lie house ns a depository. Having
co nplcted his arrangements thus fur. he
decided to advertise by starting a negro
hearing a flag with the strange device
" Auction !” ic.. inscribed upon it, over
the streets, and to attract attention gave
the negro a hell to r’ng ns he went. Away
be vwnt —"ringing, sweetly ringing.’' and
passing near the courthouse, there is no
doubt but he did somewhat disturb the pro
ceedings of the court. Tho Judge sent n
bailiff out to stop the racket. The bailiff
ordered the negro to "stop dat knockii g
—stop tint ringing.” The negro stoppod
immediately, ami returned to his employer
with the complaint, "dat detn men up dar
wouldn't 'low me ring de bell.” Mr.
Coleman, supposing that some of the boys,
or perhaps some nl the men. hail stopped
the ringing merely for their own sake, and
not having any idea that it was a command
from the court, told the negro to go hack
and ring the hell —that he had paid for the
privilege of ringing a hell m town, and to
go it ! The negro, prompt to obey orders,
started again to ringing the bell. The
court was thereby disturbed a second time,
when the Judge sent an officer nut to ar
rest the man who had so little respect for
the court as to ring a bell (as lie said) for
no other purpose than to impede its pro
gress. The negro was brought into the
august presence of llis Honor, when he
ordered him to be carried to jail immedi
ately. The negro wanted to explain the
matter to the Judge, but be would not
hear a single word from him, but very im
peratively nr lered him to he put in jail
without hesitation, and the poor negro
spoil found himself away from the bustle
and clatter of the streets, and entirely
away from the sound of a bell ; but the
j pour fellow says that the walls of that
j hideous dungeon re-echoed the sounds of
! that impious hell with even more clearness
I tlian outside. Later in the day tho Judge
I learned that the negro had been sent to
ring the bell by Mr. Colein n (just wliat
the negro wanted to tell him. but lie would
not hear). He immediately ordered Cole
man's arrest. He was brought into court,
and. just as the negro had been, was not
allowed to make any explanation of the
matter. The Judge (•ailed up several men.
by whom he proved that Coleman had or
dered the negro to ring the bell after the
court had ordered it stopped. His Honor
then proceeded to impose upon the unfor
tunate man a very severe reprimand to
gether with six hours in jail and a fifty
dollar flue. The people thereupon became
indignant and expressed their disapproba
tion of such conduct. The Elberton boys,
with their usual liberality and fellow feel
ing. set to work in getting up the fifty dol
lars to pay the fine, and when the six hours
were out they presented the Sheriff with
the money and demanded that the man be
released, which was done. Later in the
week, I think the last day of court. His
Honor, finding himself on the unpopular
side remitted the fine ; but that could and
did not cure the wound that hail been in
dicted upon the unfortunate Irishman he
was, and this remitting the line did not al
leviate or excuse the outrage which had
been committed upon the hospitality of the
citizens of the town and county, who are
always so ready, and whoever stand with
open arms to welcome strangers, and es
pecially those from a foreign land of op
pression. as was this man. This is a free
country with a republican form of govern
ment. and is said to tic an asylum for the
down-trodden and oppressed of all nations.
This is a just and true saying of our coun
try. but what should the people say and
how should they treat such a step toward
tyranny. And while on this suhject, we
would like to mention some other facts
concerning His Honor, which is very no
ticeable, and sometimes very amusing. It
lias been said by some of our most promi
nent and reliable men that Judge Bottle in
trying to keep the best of order in the
court room, creates more noise than any
set of men would if turned loose to do as
t icy please. We have always understood
anil still believe that example is better
than precept, and therefore think that if
the Judge would correct this in himself,
and make less noise himself, thereby set
ting an example that the audience in at
tendance would he justified in following,
he would get along better. What we have
said is merely the promptings ol a true
nature, and is not an outbreak of envy,
malice or anything of the kind, and ive are
conscientious in the belief that in this we
speak the public sentiment.

And have a family of children running
about the house, making the time pass

and should discover ttt any time that one
of those bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked chil
dren are troubled with n Cough, Cold,
Hoarseness. Difficult Breathing, or any
Affection of the Throat. Bronchial Tubes
and Lungs, leading to Consumption, our
advice is. go immediately to some druggist
and get a bottle of "Hale's Honey of llorc
hound and Tar,” an article which, we un
derstand. was used for years in the private
practice of Dr. Hale, a celebrated physi
cian of Europe, to the entire satisfaction of
Ids patients. The article, we understand,
is now manufactured, according to the
original recipe, by C. N. C'rittenton of No
7 Sixth avenue. New York, who is now the
sole owner and proprietor, he having paid
a very large amount of money for the right
of same, and from what we hear lie is sell
ing very large quantities. In fact, he has
had to enlarge his Isbratory and increase
his help to supply the constantly increas
ing demand, which is good evidence of how
the article is appreciated. Every mother
is well aware of the medicinal qualities of
Honey and Horehound in soothing and
scattering all irritations and inflammations,
and that the Tar Balm cleanses and heals
the throat and air passages leading to the
lungs. Five additional ingredients in this
article keep the organs cool, moist and in
healthful action. Our advice is. let no
prejudice keep you from trying this medi
cine of a famous doctor, who has saved
thousands of lives with it in his large pri
vate practice. It is sold by all druggists
it 5o cents and $1 per bottle, and at C'rit
