J. W. Ilill, of Homer, was in town this week. He says he heard wc all had the mumps, and come down to see about it.

The following affair occurred not very far from Gillsville, on the Northeastern Rail road, and is copied from the Gainesville Ea gle : “ One of our committing courts bound over three or four young gentleman from the lower part of the county one day this week, on the charge of riot. They say it is all the result of a practical joke. It seems a gentleman had sold some land, and received in payment a check for twenty-eight hundred dollars. They conceived the idea that it would be cap ital fun to frighten him on his way home. For this purpose they posted themselves at a con venient point on the road at night and when he came up they halted him, and asked him if he was the man who sold the land and got the twenty-eight hundred dollars, whereupon, to use a slang phrase, he “quit the patch,” that is to say, incontinently fled. Afterward learning who they were, lie swore out a war rant for them, and now the courts will have to decide whether it was a joke or not. It seems to us. that by the time they get out of it they will find it a sorry joke.” IlPTbe Gainesville Southron has tire fol lowing to say of John I. Cheatham, who died in that town not long since. Many of onr readers will be interested in this, because Mr. Cheatham was for a long time an honored citizen of this count}’: “He was,” says that paper, “the pioneer cotton manufacturer near Savannah, in its earliest days, and he first put in motion the great mills at Lawrence ville, which were destroyed bj* fire during the war. Mr. Cheatham was far above the aver age of men in intelligence, energy and physi cal endurance, and in every walk of life he was scrupulously honest and exae-t. lie des pised littleness or dishonest}’ in every form, as almost every old man in Georgia well knows.” At the time of his decease he was seventy years of age. A Terrible Crime. Our town is in a state of feverish excite ment over one of the most brutal munlcrs ever perpetrated, committed here Wednesday evening. The person killed and murdered was Mr. 1 homas N. Skelton, the jailer of our county, by the only inmate of the jail, one Henry Hill alias Henry Turner, colored. The facts of the case arc about as follows : Henry Ilill lias been in jail ever since last September, and when arrested was put under especial surveillance, having a year or two ago been tried and convicted for an assault on Mr. Skelton—at that time only choking him very severely'. For that offense he was sentenced to one year in the county chain gang. he not having been the principal, and served out his sentence in Madison county. He was again arrested, for some trivial offense, last year and lie was placed in a cell •and a chain put around his ankles, and locked securely in there. The cell door had a double lock—one of the locks locking a little trap in the door about 12x14 inches in size, through which his food was passed to him. 4 esterday' evening M. Skelton went in jail by’ himself, and unlocking the passage door lie went to the cell door and unlocked Ljie trap to his cell, as I have described, and handed him his food through that and took the bucket to fetch him some water. When lie took out out the bucket lie locked the trap in the cell door and went after water. Henry had, by some means, managed to drive out. the bolt that held the lock of the trap in the cell door, and while Skelton was gone, crawled through this little trap. 12 by 14 inches, and stationed himself on the right hand of the inside of the passage door, and when Skelton returned with the bucket of water, was waiting there for him, and as soon as he opened the passage door, knocked him in the head with a piece of plank, taken from his bunk, and beat him over the head, literally beating him all to pieces. This occurred about 5 o’clock yesterday evening, and the hands at work on the livery stable not more than twenty steps from the jail never heard anything of it, which is accounted for from the fact that the wind was blowing very’ hard at the time. Henry remained in the jail until some time afterdat k, for Mr. James E. Tickoy in passing the jail an hour after dark heard Henry halloing for someone to bring him some whisky. Mr. Skelton was not missed until about 9 o’clock last night, lie had left his wife at home after dinner, who was very sad, hav ing just received news of the death of her brother, N. K. Sullivan of Anderson, 8. C., and told her lie was busy’ in his store, but would return as early as possible, lie re mained in the store until about five o’clock in the evening and then taking his bucket told his partner Air. Snipes, that lie would feed the prisoner in jail, and then go home—and Mr. Snipes thinking he had gone felt no un easiness about him until about 9 o’clock, Mr. Snipes wanted a key that it was necessary for him to have, sent to Skelton’s house for it, when he learned that Mr. Skelton had never been home. He at once called in several citizens and they went to the jail and found one of the most revolting and sickening sights ever witnessed—that of Mr. Skelton, lying on the floor of the jail weltering in a pool of blood, and beat all to pieces as before de scribed. Henry has made his escape, but at once a band of men was made up, and organized and went in pursuit, but returned this morning unable to find him. It is supposed lie has crossed the river, and has gone to South Carolina. Henry is a large black negro, weight about 160 ponnds, and can easily” be identified by his having two thumbs on one of his hands.— Atlanta Constitution. Hartwell, February 25. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

ETFThe Athens Watchman lias been imposed upon by somebody who told the editor a terrible talc about a brutal murder that had been committed in this county. NVe have heard nothing whatever concerning it, and upon inquiry can find nobody who knows anything at all about it, so we put it down as being out of the whole cloth. Recovering Burned Money. The American Express Company had several safes in the cars which were burned at the recent railroad disaster at Tioga Centre, N. Y., on the 23d ult. 'The company did not open the safes, —as they contained, among other things, paper money, that if burned would be destroyed beyond all hope of re demption if carelessly handled,—but sent them to Washington to be opened in the base ment of the Treasury by the experts from the redemption division of the Treasurer's office. In the burnt mas 9 were found jewelry, includ ing a lot of diamonds and watches, gold and silver coin, legal-tender notes, national bank notes, Government coupons, and railroad bonds. The coin was melted in all manner of shapes. The jewelry, diamonds, is worthless. The burned legal tender notes were a black mass, with slight crevices on the sides, showing the separation of note from note. The scaly and brittle remains were separated with great care. The experts, by examination, o were enabled to identify the notes, together with their respective numbers. They will be replaced by new notes. One young lady is busy on the coupons, and has identified a number of 4 per cent, coupons representing SSOO each, and 4$ per cent, coupons representing $11.75 each. These will also be redeemed. Such is the expert ness with which, apparently, nothing but black brittle masses are handled that it is very likely that every note, coupon, and bond that was burned will be separated and identified. The LTiion Point correspondent of the Greenesboro Herald writes that a negro woman, living at the Belle Greene Copper Mine, locked her three children up in her cabin a few days ago, and went visiting. While she was away the house took fire, and the house and children were all burnt together. According to the Elberton Gazette, a few of the monied men of that town have determined to start a factory there, of a capital of $35,000 can be raised. REPORT OP School Commissioner for 1880.

The law to which your attention has already been directed says, “ That it shall be the duty of the County School Commissioners of each of the counties of this State to make a report of the school operations of the preceding year to the Brand Jury, at the Spring term of thcCourt, and to place his books before them for examination ; and in making up the gen eral presentments, it shall be the duty of the jury to take proper notice of the matters thus brow-lit to their attention.” While 1 am sure that for want of sufficient time, it is quite impracticable for your body to fully investigate all to which your attention is directed, and to make all the calculations whose results only arc here tabulated, yet, [ do hope you will give the subject that attention which the cause of education justly demands. Would it not be well for grand juries to begin to consider the impor tant fact that is now seriously claiming the attention Of all the leading powers of the civilized world that there is more true statesmanship in that line of policy which prevents the commission of crime than in its punishment after committed. Hitherto your predecessors have given little more attention to the school work of the county than to condemn in unqualified terms the salary which l have received as County School Commis sioner. This is a matter regulated by the Board of Education undcrithc law, and over which juries have no control ; still, 1 earnestly request that you investigate this feature not partially, but'in all its hearings. To do this 1 take the liberty to make the following suggestions : Ist. Carefully consider what the duties of a County School Commissioner arc as given by the law itself, the Instructions of the State School Commissioner, and the Regulations made by the County Board of Education; and then, from the record here presented, see whether I have dis charged these duties or not. 2d. Interview the Board of Education. If the entire body bo not available, consult its President J. A. B. Mahattey, Esq. 3. There arc many intelligent tcaohcrs in the county—men and women who are intimately ac quainted and closely identified with the educational interests of the people. At least some of'thcsse arc of easy access. Consult with them, as you would with any other witness who is supposed to know something of the case brought before you for investigation. These, and such other things as you may choose, being considered, I shall, to say tho least, have the satisfaction of not being condemned unheard. Section 13, School Law, approved Aug. 23,1872, makes it the duty of Brand Juries toelcct mem bers of the County Board of Education, and to fill vacancies when they occur. As the official term of no member expires during the present year, no regular election comes in order before your body ; but Mr. B. W. Brown, a member of the present Board, having, as I learn, moved beyond tho limits of the county, it becomes necessary for you to till the vacancy thus made. In making the appointment you will please state whom the newly chosen member succeeds, how the vacancy occurred, and when the term of office expires, which, in this case, will be Feb. Term of Court, 1882. And just here indulge me in making one more suggestion ; for it is one of great importance to all connected with public schools in the county. Be careful to elect a member who will faithfully discharge the duties of the office. It is poorly necessary to appoint a man who will seldom or never attend the meetings of the Board ; yet it is a matter very easily done. This, in a great measure may be attributed to the fact that members receive no nay for their work—a feature beneath the dignity of the State of Georgia. Before closing this Report your honorable body will allow me to commend the faithfulness and ability of a majority of the present Board of Education. [do not remember that any ono of this majority has ever been absent from the post of duty. Asa matter of general information 1 would further state that the standard of education is now such as to justify a more rigid and more closely contested examination of teachers ; and it is but fair to state in advance that those who are not able to “pass muster” will not be placed in chargo of public schools. Evils which were once necessary, are, in this respect, no longer regarded so." Thanking you for the courtesy extended, and indulging the hope that nothing herein is irrelevant, I close this Report, claiming that all the figures are correct; but without)the pleasing conscious ness that I have committed no errors in the detail of the work done. All of which is most respectfully submitted. G. J. N. Wilson, Bounty School Comimnissioncr. Dots from Rockwell. BY VAXDE LIXCTUM. Oat sowing is the order of the day.

A Black List. It may not be generally known to our country readers that among the laws govern ing the Merchant’s Exchange is one that makes it incumbent upon each member of the Exchange to furnish to the Secretary of the institution a list of all those who become delinquent in the payment of debts, and the Secretary, by the laws of the Exchange, keeps the names thus furnished in a book specially provided for the purpose, which book isopen to the inspection of every merchant of Athens. I, nder such a system, it will soon be impossi ble for one who has been backward in the payment of his indebtednes, to secure credit at all, and the sj’stem inaugurated will prove beneficial to both creditor and merchant, as it will eliminate the worthless class of debtors from ofTour merchants’ books altogether, and thus bring about a more healthy and trust worthy feeling between the better class of customers and the merchants. The above we get from the Athens Chron icle, and presume that it has reference to Athens. The plan is a good one, and if properly carried out would be a benefit to both the buyer and the seller. We would suggest that the same plan be put in force in Gainesville, and in the towns on the North eastern Railroad, then the citizens of Jackson county would be better off in more than one particular. Now, when a weak farmer ex hausts his credit in Athens he goe3 to Gaines ville. The merchants of that town open their arras to him, and think that it is their low prices that brings him to them; sell him a bill of goods, and then brag about taking trade away from Athens. When Gainesville finds him out he takes in some town on the Northeastern, and keeps up the game until he becomes well known in all of the trading towns. The bad effects of this system are too well known and patent to be named in this article. One, however, we will mention. We have reference to the scouring of the country every fall and winter by collecting agents from our large trading centers, hunt ing up delinquents, the consequent litigation, expense and trouble. The adoption of a black list will obviate the most of this work ; will reduce the time price of goods to those who are compelled to buy on time, and will make the delinquents strive to regain their credit.
