CARROLL FREE PRESS.
CARROLLTON, GA., Doc. 21, 1883.
I Ion. T. A. Hendricks of Indiana,
mailed for Europe on the Htli inst.
The next annual meeting of the LaGrtmg.e Su^thx.^
Georgia grange, will be held \\Mth
the Banksville grange, near Har
mony Grove, Jackson county, a
lodge that has over 3(H) members.
Chicago has been selected !>\ the
g R^RP^ns, as the place for hold
ing their next national com en-
■»■*■•"■in.tiem. to ■nominate a candidate for
the presidency.
The Rev. W I). Anderson, a few
years ago, 1 prominent as a lawyer
and legislator, was appointed by
the late north Georgia conference,
presiding elder of the Marietta dis-
; tri'ct.
We see it stated in one of out ex
changed, that Senator Butler, of
South Carolina, has already intro
duced a hill in congress to abolish
• e the internal revenue system. This
is a move iu the right direction,
and we trust that the bill Mill be
come a law, and that the iuiquitom
system will be done away with.
Politics are red hot in New Oi
lcans, between the two wings ol
the Democratic party. At a pri
mary election there* on Decembei
14th, for delegates to the state con
vention, a general row ensued be
tween the opposing factions result
ing in the killing of three men and
the wounding os a gooel many oth
ers.
The North Georgia citizen pub
lished at Dalton, and edited by our
old-time friend, Col. J. T. AN hitman,
is one of the handsomest typograph
ically,. as well as one of the able
edited country weeklies in the
State. The colonel is one of the
veterans of the Georgia press. The
first paper the writer ever read
when lie was a boy ten or twelve
years old was the A\ est Point Boa
cou, then published and edited by
Colonel AVhitman. It was in eon
ning the pages of this interesting
little local paper, that he first ac
quiretl that taste for reading, which
through life has always.been a so
lace as well as a source of informa-
. .H tion.
The Washington correspondent
of the Savannah News thinks that
Georgia’s war claim for $•>>,<•(Ml will
_ soon be paid. This claim, it will be
remembered, is for supplies fur
nished, during the revolutionary
war to the United States army. It
was ordered to be paid by last con
gress, but payment M as M'itliheld
by the secretary of the treasury,
acting under the opinion of the
comptroller general, M ho held that
it should he applied as an offset due
the state, on account of the direct
tax war measure. The News cor
respondent says that representa
tive Turner stated to him, that this
point was made while the claim
was under consideration in the
house, and the result of the discus
sion was the conclusion, that tin*
tax M as due from the citizens of
the state, and not from the state it
self.
Carroll the Best Place.
Several wagon loads of pilgrims
from Florida to Carroll county pas
sed through on yesterday. Emaci
ated with malaria, they M ere seek
ing health on their native Georgia
hills. Let our people meditate long
before plunging into the swamps ot
the misnamed Eldorado.
The above is from the LaGrange
Reporter. The parties referred to,
Mr. J. K. Rooker and two sons-in-
law and a M'idowed sister and two
children, arrived in this county, the
latter part of M eek before last and
have settled near here, on Air.
Elisha Creel’s place. AVe saw Air.
R. last week and he informed us
that he left Carroll in 1857, for Alis-
sissippi. He lived sixteen years
in that state, when he M eat to
Florida, where he has resided
since. He says that he has drank
no good water since he left, till he
got back to Carroll county, and that
he believes after all that old Car-
roll is the best place. He thinks he
will settle permanently here, in the
home of his boyhood, alter liis long
and tedious M aederings in search
of a better country.
There is a tradition in this coun
ty, that all persons, who leave it,
return some time or other, and the
history of a good many, who have
