. ’ CHRISTMAS GOODS CHEAP AT JESSE R. GRRIFFIN’S. *r< XM> 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 Neighborhood Notes.

Russell as president and Samuel E. Smith secretary. The Rev. J. AY. Bishop has been called to the Baptist church at West Point and lias accepted the same. The AYest Point Enterprise thinks that AYest Point Mill get 20,000 bales of cotton this season. Mrs. Evalyn Thompson, wife of L. L. Thompson and daughter of Air. and Mrs. N. F. Cobb, died at CedartoMii, November 15th. The NeM iian Herald says that there was a large attendance at the colored Arethodist conference there last M eek and a number of most ex cellent sermons preached. Col, Pike Hill of Atlanta has pur chased the home place of Air. George AAA Ragsdale, near Dallas, and M ill move to that village at an early day. The Meriwether Vindicator is in dead earnest about a railroad to Greenville, Bro. Revill seems to lie hopeful and we trust his zeal will be duly rewarded. The tax collector of Heard coun ty told the Lagrange Reporter man last M-eek, that the people of that county had paid their taxes in full, M ere out of debt, and Avere in good condition as to “hog and hominy.” Airs. Bice of Haralson county, who was shot, as our readers will remember, some year ago, by a trusty convict named Rataree, sued the Marietta and Georgia railroad, at the late term of Cobb superior court, for $5,000. The jury were.una- lile to agree upon a verdict and Avere discharged. NeAvnan Herald: AYe notice that Hon.
