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.

Gen. Toombs’ Illness.
Washington, Ga.. Sept. 29.—There
is no change In GeueralTooinbs’ condi¬
tion in the past twenty-four hours

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

some provisions for the children of

mated at about thirty five million dol¬
lars.
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. Clark’s Sons, a well known
milling (inn, of Augusta, failed and
made an assignment last week. It is
claimed, however, that they are honor¬
able men, and wiil pay every debt in
full.
Thomas Graham, of Conyers, com¬
mittee suicide last week at l’arson s
mill near McRae, this State, where lie
was.empioyed as a mill hind. 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

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.
