We learn that a petition is being presented to the citizens of this county for signatures to request the ordinary to order an election, as provided under the new local option law on prohioitiou and it remains with the voters to say whether or not this growing evd shall cease to exist in o ir county. The time h is come, indeed, it cam ; long ago, when every man, worn m nr child, who feels any interest in the moral - , social, and pecuniary well-fare of the country should exert all their power to suppress this—one of the great!St of evils. Tt at whiskey has caused thousands of or¬ phans, widows, and brought gray hair.} d iwn with sorrow to the grave, no one will dare deny that it has and will c mtinue so long as it is allowed to be sold in the present manner, to bring min, trouble, poverty and grief to the households of thousands, no o io will dire deny; Why then encourage the sale of it any longer V Fellow-citizens, think before you mike up your mind to vote against prohibition ;f any of you are Inclined to do so; remember the young wife and mother whose very life blood (Hows around the hearthstone and around the feet of her cliildr en, whenever her husband comas home in¬ toxicated, wild and abuses her; think, oh, think, of the millions of hearts that have been made to bleed and ache, because of the unclean thing; think ' of the thousands who have filled un¬ timely graves and whose souls have been banished forever from the presence of God, because they indulged too free¬ ly in the unclean tiling thereby des¬ troying themselves and committing crimes against their God, their fellow men and their country, which they would liayo never otherwise done. The old Maxium—'The greatest good to the greatest nutnbsr sliouMJ prevail in this matter a id all personal inter¬ ests feelings and preferences should tie laid aside. While wliiskv per sc may not bo an evil. yet. thd , privilege ■ >, has i , j frotu time immemorial been abused and will continue to bo abused so long ns it can be so easily obtained. In conclusion we would say if yon believe Whisky is ruinous to the country, vote ft out whether you are, so far as yo u tetrpwsona’ftyUbiicernod, Flavor of cr not. • —w Gen. Toombs’ Illness. Washington, Ga.. Sept. 29.—There is no change In GeueralTooinbs’ condi¬ tion in the past twenty-four hours Worth mentioning, outside of the fact that he is weaker to-day than yester - doy. For the past four days lie has imagined himsels in Richmond, Vir¬ ginia, whither lie lias been called to argue some important point in law. LATKIl. Washington, Ua., September 30.— General Toombs’ condition grows gradually worse. He passed a verv restless night last night, and is today in a weaker condition than for ^several days jiaat. lie did not leeognize his most Intimate friends last night, but this morning was somewliat brightor. and knew those around him. Dr. Mulligan says there is no possible hope for his iflcovsrv, tart that he might live a month yet, though his death may l>e expected at any moment. It seems that Geo gia in not the only southern stale that has u “little biom.” The ceiiniH of Florida, taken during U 19 pregput year, slmws th.it t!io p « ulavion of the suite lias increased 64,653 in the !a J t five years, being now 308,721 Tne value of real and person id pro|K'.ty has also largely increased, reaching an aggregate of 869,588.610, iigams: #30,033,309 in 1880.

Mil Clkvkland is now the heaviest president that has ever occupied the white house, wid u l.« «t«» » gain lie will weigh over 300 [rounds before the expiration of his first year’s service. It is good, solid tiesh at that. Profkssou John L. Sullivan esti mates that he has cleared §175,000 at fisticuffs in five years, and there are 1 its of poor persons all t hrough New England who continue to pound the pulpit cushion at §600 a year.

The Sunday Fticoiix, of Augusta, becoming financially embarrassed, has made a i assignment, and gives not'ce that the issue of the 27th will probably be the last. John M.

He was a young man of good character, and was quite popular, but was addicted to drink. Ned Burns, his wife and three chil¬ dren, all colored, were poisoned with arsenic at Atlanta, Monday. The wife mistook arsenic; lor yeast powder and used it in miking biscuit. At last accounts it was feared tlut the woman would die. James Usher, a night watchman of the Central railroad in Atlanta, was run over by a switch engine on Satur¬ day morning last, and killed. lie WHS exhausted with nursing a sick child, and it is supposed that lie was not en • tirely awake when the accident occur¬ red. At Columbus Sunday, a child 18 months old was taken to the oilice of Dr. Bullard for treatment of what was supposed to lie ulcerative citarrli of the nose. A f', er a careful ex animation the true cause was revealed and re - moved, which oroved to he a shoe but¬ ton that had been placed in the nose seven or eight months ago. Eugene Beck, the man who shot and killed his wife and lief sister, has been tried in Rabun Superior Court, con victed and sentenced to the penitentia¬ ry for life. Several distinguished phy¬ sicians testify that, in their opinion, when this double murder was commit led, Beck was insane, and on this tes¬ timony the jury recommended him to mercy. J. Luther Young, aged 52, of Wnglitsville, this State, has added his name to the long list of suicides. His sweetheart, Miss Morrison, had broken her engagement with him because lie had fallen into bad habits and was drinking. He called to see her in Co¬ lumbia last Thursday, and urge! her to marry him, but she refused to do so. He then walked into an adjoining room and shot himself through the heart.
