Dead.
Mrs Ruth T Brown, who has been
an invalid for a number of years,
died at the residence of her son, S.
J. Brown, in this place, at 10 oclock
on last Friday night. 8ome five
years ago Mrs Brown was stricken
with apoplexy from which she
never fully recovered, and as she
was quite old being in her seveny-
eighthycar, hence her death was not
unexpected. Mrs. Brown was one
of the old citizens of this county,
as she had been living here, some
thirty years. She had been for a
number of years a consistent mem
ber of the Primitive Baptist church.
She leaves a large family, having
four sons and three daughters liv
ing in this county, numbered
among our best citizens To the
friends and relatives we extend
our sympathy in their bereave
ment.

George MerrellEsq., of this place
has bloomed out recently as a full
fledged correspondent of the Har-
alsou Banner. In the last issue of
that paper he gets off the follow
ing characteristic hit at walking
matches in general, and the late
walking match here in particular:
“If the muscle that is used in walk
ing matches, was employed in
splitting rails, cuttingwheat, hoeing
cotton, or some other useful
occupation, the country would be
benefitted. It looks queer that our
“Southern Bourbons” ,are so ready
to ape the Yankee clerk of New-
York, who invented and smarted
this “manly” pastime. When the
Yankees “take snuff,” we southern
ers are still ready to “sneeze.”
Col Fitts of the Haralson Banner
paid a visit recently to our connty.
While here he met the Hon. John
W. Carroll, and in speaking of him
pays him the folloM’ing fine com
pliment: Mr. Carroll represented
his county in the legislature for
the last two years, and the good
people of Carroll county could not
do better than to send him back
agaim He is one of the oldest cit
izens of the county and is a good
Democrat. AYe have heard gen
tlemen say who were with him
in the legislature, that Mr. Carroll
was always at his post, and always
voted for such measures that
would redound to the interest of his
constituency. AYe would like to
see Mr. Carroll again honored with
the position he so ably filled in the
last legislature.
Godey’s Lady’s Book for July is an
especially good number, and, con
sidering the high standard of this
excellent magazine, this is perhaps
as generous praise as could be be
stowed upon it. The book is just
entering upon its fifty-fifth year
and celebrates this mature anni
versary in a fitting manner. M.
E. B. occupies the opening page
with a poetical salutatory of more
than ordinary merit, and then
come the initial chapters of “Dree
ing of the AA’eird, ” the new serial
by Helen Mathers author of “Corn
in' thro, the Rye,” “Cherry Ripe
etc etc. A pretty picture of Agatha
illustrates “The Nut-Brown Maid”
this month, and Charles Ledyard
Norton spins a curious yarn called
The ^New Hand.” The original
design for crazy patch work which
accompanies the book furnishes
the illustration for a story by
Dulcie A\ r eir, in which the trials of
two vouhg ladies who start out to
make a quilt are amusingly set
forth. The poems this month are
especially good, and there is a full
quota of short stories and sketches.
That all may beable to seehow beau
tiful the book Is the publishers, J.
IT. Haulenbeek A Co, Pliila., offer
to send the new volume, six
months, to any addess for $1.00.

AVe are very hard to satisfy. Some
times its too dry and sometimes
too wet, blfc it does seem like when
we had about as much as we could
do and then a week of rain it
throws everything out of gear. But
when we sum it all up its all right
and all for our good, if Ave can’t see
it. Cotton is growing less but I guess
when the hot sun comes out upon
it it will straiten up again.
As twas too wet to do anything

AYe spent last Saturday at quar
terly meeting. Heard a very inter
esting discourse from the Rev. AVm.
D. Anderson presiding elder. Ow
ing to the inclemency of the weath
er we did not get out Sunday.
I must say thanks to the Hon Jo
seph E. Bro\yn for an extract of his
speech. I have been thinking that
we ought to get right hold of those
Utah fellows and shake them all
around, but when old uncle Joe
brings it down to figures it seems
that the United States and especial
ly the New England States are
practicing polgyamy more than
Utah. He proves his point from
Divine authority and that is the
best that we can have and there is
no law other than fornication that
man and wife can legally be divor
ced, and yet there are numbers au-
ually divorced just simply because
they are tired of living together in
adultery.
I have been thinking of this state
of affairs for a long time. Christ
says from the hardness of your
hearts Moses suffered it but from
the beginning it was not so,'so there
must be a wrong and why not our
la wmaking powers see into the mat
ter. It is a good moral that they
live in glass houses better not throw
stones. If it is wrong for Utah to
have more than one wife, it is wrong
for any man in these United
States to have more than one.—
Let us sweep before our own doors
and then clean out Utah.

Gentlemen :—I, as one of the
committee, appointed by the grand
jury, to examine books of S. J.
BroM’n, County School Commission
er, deem it proper and right to
make the folloM’ing facts knoM’n: I
had hoped to have been spared
this unpleasant task, but his com
munication of June 6th calls forth a
reply. He stated that the committee
reported that his books M’ere not
kept in a business like manner.
say they could not have made a
different report and stated facts.
AVhen he presented his books to
the grand jury for examination
and being asked by the foreman
what amount of school funds he
had on hand, he said seventeen
dollars. The foreman said “Mr.
BroM’n, you say you have seventeen
dollars in your hands belonging to
the school fund; noM' Mr. BroM’n is
this seventeen dollars all the
money that you have or that has
come into your hands from any
source since you settled with teach
ers in December:” To M’liichhe, Mr.
Brou'n, said it was. He then told
him his books ought to show it.
The grand jury then appointed a
committee of three to examine his
books and report to the body. This
committee met him in the clerk’s
office that evening and commenced
the examination. All that they
could find on his books, Mas elev
en dollars and seventy-three cents
buthe stated to the committee that
he had $230, and asked if the com
mittee wanted to see the money.
They told him they had nothing
to do with the money but his book
ought to show* what he had
received and paid out, giving date,
etc. Non* you see why the report
was made that his books were not
kept in a business like manner. He
states that itwas based on the fact
that at the time he went before the
grand jury, Friday, he had failed
to enter on his book some money
which he had a fen* days before
court received from the.tax collect
or. Non’ if he had said he had failed
to enter on his book any money
that had colne into his hands, be
fore or since the settlement with
the teachers for 1883, he M’ould have
stated a fact.- He further states
that the committee expressed them
selves as being satisfied, tliatit was
all right. Their report back to the
grand jury proves to the contrary.
He says he made all the entries on
his books-and carried them before
the grand jury on Saturday morn
ing in order to prevent an unfavor-
ble report, and believes if every
member of that body had examined
his books after all the.entries M ere
made and seen for himself just
what the books shon ed, they M’ould
have refused to make such report
as they did. The grand jury M as not
satisfied M’ith the books hence the
appointment of the committee.
That committee met as he states
in the court house April 22. He
brought his book and vouchers for
1883, He states that the committee
M’as satisfied in regard to them, as
Ration irc’-o^i
>7 in his favor. Non’ fc
Upon the investigation of the com
mittee they found that his book
should shon* $328.52; this amount
was ascertained by vouchers from
tax collector, AS’. I). Jones, and oth
ers. Non’, gentlemen lion' is this to
be reconciled He stated to the grand
jury in body he had only seven
teen dollars on hand, but that same
evening he stated to the committee
that he had $230.00, and his book
only shoM’ed $11J3. He, S. J.
Brown, stated to the committee
that he knew nothing about book
keeping. I suppose he offered this
as an excuse for the maner in M’hich
he had kept his books. Permit me
to say lust here, that the book pre
sented to the grand jury n as not the
book examined by the committee
and the book turned over to the
present commissioner is not the
book the committee examined.
