Death of Pat Merrell.
The young people ot our city
and community, with older
lriends, were made sad, when
on JJSunday Oct. 31st. the an
nouncement come out that Mr.
Pat Merrell, son of Mr and [Mrs
E, B. Merrell was dead .
The deceased was about 24
years ot age, a young man of
excellent business qualifications,
and [had been tar some years
connected with one of the lead,
ing business firms of the city of
Talladega Ala, where he estab.
lished himself in the confidence
and high esteem of his employ
ers.
f The parents and relatives have
the tender sympathies of many
friends. Fwneral services were
conducted from the First Baptist
church on Monday afternoon,
by the pastor Rev ?J. M. Dodd
Cur eyes have seen the rosy light.
Cf youth’s soft cheek decay.
And fate descend in sudden night.
On manhood's middle day.
We are headquarters for
scissors, pocket knives, and ra
zors. We have lighted up the
woods with lanters—get you one
q^nd get in the procession.

New Store Fixtures.
Hamrick's Pharmacy and
Jewelry Store is being greatly
admired by everybody who cill*
there. The new fixtures, show
cases, mirrors, etc, have just
been installed and are the very
latest and most imptoved to be
found. Dr. Hamrick carefully
looked over the field belore
making his selection and that
he has secured about the most
attractive that could be had is
fully attested by the appearance
ot his store. This popular estab
lishment wilt always be found
keeping abreast the times and
high class goods ccrried would
be a credit to a city several times
the size of Carrollton.
Presbyterian Church.
A congregational meeting
will be held at the Presbyterian

a. m. to consider and act upon
the [resignation of the pastor.

The Kicker’s Kick.
It is with regret and a tinge ol
sympathy we note the Carroll
County Times’ denunciation and
criticisms of the last Grandjurys
i General Presentments. lint
when one comes to think serious- 1
ly of the matter, nothing else
, hardly could be expected from a
I fountain of spleen. There is
nothing surprising about it as it
seems to be natural for the Times
to raise a general kick against
anything that is done or happens
to be unless he is its author or
the dominating spirit in its crea
tion. Just simply the usual long
eared kick.
i The editor of the Times takes
the grand jury to task for recorm
mending that the City and Su
perior Court and Grand Jurors
aud their bailiffs be paid $2 .00
per day. It is matter of record
that this has long been the
custom in this county, and we
suppose that there is no one who
considers it exhorbitant pay.
The Times admits that much.
Knowing that fact, we are at a
j loss to understand why he refer
red to that portion ot the pre
sentments at all; only one expla.
nation seems to be clear, and
that is that he merely wanted to
lay a foundation from which to
register a kick and censure the
grand jury for not giving him
more money’. If the grand jury
had given the job exclusively to
the limes with a fee of twenty
or twenty-five dollars, doubtless
all would have been smiles.
He who sets himself up as a
paragon of wisdom and assumes
the role of general dictator to the
people, should guard their inter
ests by example as well as by
precept—practising intelligent
economy in all things, and espe
cially when handling tne coun
ty’s funds.
Personally the grand jury cares
very little or nothing for the
Times’ kick and should have let
it passed unnoticed, except to
call attention to its underlying
selfish motive.
The grand jury considers, as
most people do, that grand jury
presentments, like other court
proceedings, are looked upon as
news items, interesting to the cit
izens of the county, and which
the various papers would like to
print free for the benefit of their
subscrioers, rather than not have
them ; thus, the fee paid is com
plimentary. Newspapers often
pay good money for news not so
wholesome and less interesting
to many of their readers. With
an eye to spending no more o
the county’s lundthan necessary
we committed the awful crime,
as the Times views it. of recomi
mending that the Times, along
with the other three papers, be
paid five dollars for printing the
general presentments. As it is,
the cost will be S20.00 and we
thought that sufficient.
We hope the sensible people
; will caretully consider the
■‘Kick’’ and not forget to place
the censure where it belongs.
It can be easily seen what the
Times would do if it could, and
how insincere its pretentions
have been when boosting the
“lowly and hard pressed farmer.”
With it, it depends entirely
whose ox is goad.
Why gentlemen ! we are reli
ably informed that the editor of
the Times tried to keep some of
the other county papers from
printing the presentments at all-
just think for one moment what
a noble deed that was for so
saintly an apostle of justice. Had
I it not not been tor the loyalty
i and good sense of the Times’
j contemporaries proha aly the
presentments would have been
surpressed. The public take
warning. Yours truly,
Some of the Grand Jurors.
