Dock Carr and Tally Comer of Maysville spent last Sunday in our town. We oall attention in this issue to the change in the ad. of J. E. Murphy of Gainesville. There was one fight on the streets here last Wednesday during the Pop ulist blow-out. The Royal Arch Chapter of Masons will meet in their hall next Thursday night, July 12th. Mr. Bill Saville of Maysville was in the city last week and gave us a pleas ant call while here. Miss Eva Butler, who has been on a visit to Clarksville, returned home last Tuesday evening, much to the delight of her many friends. Judge William Griffeth and Mr. Allen Brock of Miller’s district were in the city on last Tuesday. They are both clever citizens. Several of our people will leave next Monday for a pleasure trip among the mountains of North Georgia. They will be gone about ten days. Mrs. Robert Shields and Mrs. Scott Ethridge left for Porter Springs on last Saturday, where they will spend some time. Mr. H. N. Winburn of Jacksonville, Fla., together with his three children, spent last Sunday and Monday in Jefferson visiting friends. The Ortk Grove Democratic club, in Chandler’s district, will meet on Sat urday night week, July 14th. Let there be a large attendance. The Masons of Griffith Lodge will have a picnic at their Lodge ball next Saturday. The Masons of the county are invited to be present on that day. Rev. George T. King, who has been at Lithia Springs for several weeks, endeavoring to recuperate, we are glad to state is much improved in health. It is not known yet what time he will return hom£. The teachers of Jackson county are saying a great many complimentary things about Professor G. G. Bond, the expert of the Teachers’ Institute of this oounty for the past two years. They say the more you know him the better you like him. Professor G. L. Gunnels and wife are in Toccoa this week, attending the Methodist District Meeting of the Elberton District. The people in and around Jefferson are delighted with the Trustees’ selection of Professor Gunnels as Principal of Martin Insti tute for next year. Catlett Moore, colored, the janitor of Martin Institute, says that the Trustees of that institution make changes in the Faculty occasionally, but that he is one part of Martin In stitute that is always retained. Cat lett has been growing fat eating wed ding cake since last commencement. Mr. George H. Suddeth purchased the I. T Austin place, in Chandler's district, a few weeks ago, and now comes the news that he has swapped that place for Mr. J. A. Suddeth's farm, near town. Mr. G. H. Suddeth will move here this fall and Mr. John A. Suddeth will go to his place in Chandler’s district. In this issue will be found forms of 1892 of the three political parties—Democrat, Republican and Populist. We publish these platforms for the benefit and convenience of our readers. They are interesting docu ments, and wheu you peruse your paper it will be well for you to put it away in some place where you can al ways have the platforms at your com mand. W. A. Fountain, the colored school teacher of this place, is a soon one. For some time he has been iu love, bat the woman’s father didn't want to give up his daughter. She lived over at Elberton, and Fountain went over to see her several times, and she was always ready, but her father’s consent he could not get. Fountain determined not to be outdone. So he had some of her friends to invite her here, ard she came over, and while here Fountain soon got the Methodist preacher up to Ike Stevens s, where Fountain soon was tied to a woman so hard and fast that he could not break loose if he wanted to. THE POPULISTS IN CONVENTION. They Nominate Candidates for the Gen eral Assembly. The Populists met here last Wednesday to nominate candidate* for Representatives and Senator. Men, women and children all came to celebrate the anniversary of the Dec laration of Independence, and the dele gates came to nominate their men. There was a large number of Dem ocrats here to see what their Populist brethren intended to do. The Demo crats .came, they saw, and they will conquer. At 10 o’clock the people were called into the court room. Colonel J. N. Twitty mounted the stand, took the gavel in his hand and called the meeting to order. Colonel Mahaffey moved, and it was carried, that a committee on creden tials be appointed, one from each dis trict. One delegate from each dis trict was appointed, and Colonel Ma haffev was added for good measure. The committee remained out in one of the jury rooms about 30 minute*, and Colonel Mahaffey read the report of that committee. Then came the nomination for can didates for Representatives and Sen ator. Colonel Mahaffey put in nom ination the names of George D. Ben nett and L. F. Sell as suitable candi dates for the legislature. No other names were put in nomi- nation, and they were unanimously elected. Colonel T. S. Johnson’s name was then put before the house for Senator from the Thirty third Senatorial dis trict. Some man put Rev. W. H. Bridges’s name in nomination, but he received a significant wink, and after a little consultation his name was withdrawn and Mr. Thomas S. John son was unanimously chosen, not withstanding his declaration, on last Saturday night, at Oak Grove, that he had no political aspirations and would accept no office in the gift of the peo ple, from bailiff to President. "We now see that Mr. Johnson’s saind has changed. Delegates were chosen for the Con gressional convention, to meet in Gainesville July 25th, to nominate a candidate for Congress, and Colonel Mahaffey moved that they be in structed to cast their votes for Colo nel J. N Twitty. Colonel Mahaffey put the motion, and it was unani mously carried. So Colonel Twitty’s Congressional boom was formally launched Wednesday. Then Judge Mahaffey, who was once judge of the county court in Jackson county, and tried to remain so, but the court was illegal, and who was an applicant for the judgeship of the city court, read the following res olutioD, which was adopted : Resolved, That we ratify our State and Na tional platforms; that we pledge the party to make all offices elective by the people; we In sist that there be a Juror re visor from each militia district: we ojpose extra pay to the Ordinary; we favor the reduction of salaries 25 per cent.; we Insist that the City Court for Jackson county be abolished. Then Dock Dowdy, who was com plaining some two months ago that the Populists had promised him $25 in the last campaign, and hadn’t paid him a red sou, and that ha would be darned if he was not going to quit the Third party, introduced, and it was passed, the following resolution: Whereas, There has been much complaint on the part of all parties of bribery, fraud and Intimidation In elections. Be It, therefore, resolved, That we shall In sist upon a free ballot and a fair count, and we condemn the use of whisky, money and all other corrupting means In elections. We guess the Populists have paid their debts. The meeting then adjourned and retired to the court house yard, where basket dinners were spread. After dinner the crowd congregated at the court house steps, and Rev. King Minish opened the ex ercises with prayer. He prayed a good long prayer and prayed for the success of the party, whereupon one mischievous boy said he didn't think that prayer would be answered. Then the song, “I Am Bound for the Promised Land,” was sung in an old-fashioned, camp-meeting way. Rev. King Minish then sang a solo. It was a daisy, too. Messrs. Johnson, Bennett and Sell then accepted the nominations tendered to them. Colonels Mahaffey and Twitty then shelled the Democratic party. The Rev. King Minish concluded the ceremonies with a fervent prayer, wt are told. CLOSING EXEBCISES Of the Jaekson County Teachers’ Institute. W did not make a full report of the doings of the Institute last week fiom the fact that your paper was published before the work of that body was completed, I therefore beg a little space for that purpose. I must compliment the young ladies and young gentlemen who so kindly, faithfully and efficiently performed their duties as members of the choir. Although they had no opportunity of practicing the pieces rendered, the music was very fine indeed, and con tributed largely to the pleasure of the occasion. The members of the association were very much gratified to learn from Professor Bond that Jackson county had contributed more money for the building of a permanent home on Cumberland Island for the teachers of the State than any other county, except, perhaps, those in which are located some of the largest cities. But, while the teachers of Jackson county have cause to b * proud of this showing, there is yet another thing for which they and the entire popula tion of the county have reason for re joicing. Friday, the 29th day of June, 1894, was a red letter day for the cause of education in our dear old county. On that day, by a very large majority of those present, the teach ers determined to make the next an nual meeting not only an Institute, but a fair for the exhibition ‘of al! kinds of school woik, both of teach ers and pupilp, such as map drawing, maps in relief, language lessons, speci mens of penmanship, work in arithme tic, algebra, geometry, and, in fact, all kinds of school work. That, in my humble judgment, has been the most important step for the cause of education ever taken in Jackson county, and the Institute of 1894 con sequently the most important body of teachers ever assembled within her borders. Hail, auspicious day for the children of Jackson county! Hail, auspicious day !! I trust the young teachers will all come up to our assembly a year hence with the full determination of enter ing heartily into all the work. To fail to teach properly before a body of intelligent, sympathetic teachers is no disgrace—to fail before your class is a disgrace. The committee on resolutions, con sisting of Professors J. N. Ross, C. L. Gunnels and A. H. Stapler, made tie following report, which, on motion, was adopted: We, the teachers of Jackson county, in an nual Instltue assembled, desire to show our ap preciation of whatever tends to elevate and en noble the teacher’s profession, and especially of the lasting benefits received during: the ses sion now closing; therefore, be It Resolved, That we renew our devotions to our chosen profession and and ;clare a determination to give the schools of Jackson county the bene nt of the most excellent methods set forth In tho exercises of the Institute during the pres ent session. Resolved, That the thanks of this body are due and are hereby tendered our distinguished expert, G. G. Bond, lor his elegant and able manner of presenting every subject taken under consideration. Resolved, That the courteous manners, devo tion to duty and able services of our County School Commissioner shall ever command our admiration and commendation. Resolved, That the thanks of this Institute be extended to the choir for their faithful at tendance and the sweet music discoursed dur ing the week; also, to the Trustees of Martin Institute for the use of their excellent school building, and to the hospitable citizens of Jef ferson for the manifold courtesies extended to us while In their midst. J. N. Ross, C. L. Gunnels, A. H. Staplkr, Committee. Before closing, I respectfully sug gest to the honorable Board of Edu cation to employ Professor G. G. Bond as the expert for our next an nual Institute, first, because I don’t think they can secure a better, and second, because, having taught us last year and the present, he is in a better position to do us good. If a new man was employed he would be very apt to go ever the same ground Professor Bond has already gone over, and consequently would be un interesting, and hence would fail to benefit us. S. P. Orr. Attention! Confederate Veterans. The survivors of the Forty-third Regiment of Georgia Volunteers will hold their tenth annual re union jointly with the Forty second Regiment of Georgia Volunteers at Buford, Ga., on Saturday, July 21st.

D. powdy called the meeting to order at 2 o’clock and announced ready for business. T. A. Norris nominated C. H. Bry son for secretary. Green Hopson seconded the mctioD, and he was unanimously elected. The Chairman stated t’ae object of the meeting to be to elect a district or executive committee of the county. The Chairman stated ikat no parly would be considered to day but the Republican. A. J. Pittman moved, and motion wrs carried, for a committee to be ap pointed to get up districts and the committee. The Chairman appointed W. M. Witt, T. A. Norris and W. A. Stevens. Then the executive committee was chosen, as follows: Jefferson, W. M. Witt. Minisb, A. J. Pittman. Harrisburg, W. M. Dowdy. Wilson, Albert Griffeth. Miller, George Henderson. Cunningham, Henry Watson. Randolph, Sam Pettyjohn. Hoschton, Berry Moon. House, West Hoscb. Chandler, Richard Harris. Clarksboro, Stewart McLester. Newtown, Smith Jackson. Santa Fe, Adam Bell. C. H. Bryson was made Secretary for two years in place of H. L. Gar lington, who has joined the Third party. The Chairman made a most won derful speech, which was highly con mended on all sides. He i aid that if the colored people of this county ever exp ct to win fortune and be truly recognized in the race of life it must be by their own efforts. Resptci yourself and the people will respect you. If you expect to do anything you mist bo competent; need not expect to told office unless you are competent. T. A. Norris made a few timely remarks. Henry Aiken made a most wonder ful speech against the colored people being divided. He said they are all R-publicans and should not align themselves with either one of the other parties. His speech was a lively one in all particulars. The party of ours must take up the State and local tickets and examine them thoroughly, and then look after tho interest of the colored man. The following preamble and reso lution was passed: Whereas, Some of our people are making a mistake by joining them selves to other parties and creating a division in our ranks; therefore, be it Resolved, That we examine the can didates put forth, and that we vote as solid Republicans for those whom we think will better look after the in terests of county and State. Meeting then adjourned to assem ble in the court house at Jefferson July 21st, 1894, at 10 o’clock. All Republicans are invited to be present on that day. S. D. Dowdy, Chairman. C. H. Bryson, Secretary. SHILOH. I trust my letter will get to its des tination in time to escape the waste basket. I must tell part of the snake story again. It is too true to be left out. Mr. S. B. Culbertson did actually kill three large snakes (between three and five feet in length) with one lick with a hoe. They were coiled .in such a manner that every one were severed in two at once. Aunt Kittie Butler has returned from a visit to her daughter, Mrs. Bagwell, in Bartow county. Rev. James Smith preached an ex cellent sermon here yesterday. He will preach again on the first Sunday evening in September, Providence permitting. Elder’s McLeroy, Adams, and others, perhaps, will preach at Black’s Creek on Thursday i efore the third Sabbath in July, on there way to the Union meeting at Gravelly Creek, beginning on Friday and continuing till Sunday. Master Forester Yarbrough is just recovering from a severe spell of sick- ness. There has been some very good oats harvested in this vicinity. We are much in need of rain. Miss Eula Hudson has returned from the industrial school at Milledge ville. We gladly welcome her back. Messrs. Andrew Morgan and Brant ley Harwell, of Randolph’s district, were in our city awhile Thursday. They gave us a “pop” call while here and report everything lovely in their bailiwick. Falsely Accused. Mr. Editor:— Please allow m space in your worthy journal to say a few words in my own behalf and ii. my own defense. lam charged with being a traitor to my race. It is said that I sold my self to the Democrats, and also hired a man to work on my farm while J traveled around and made speeches for the Democratic party. I am ac cused of leaving my own party, and many other things. Now, who would or could believe such reports f It is a well known fact in Jackson county that I have never made a political speech, in this or any other county, in all my life. I have never even visited a political meeting except in the court house; neither have I ever gene to any family and made a speech. Why men should tell such talcs is for the want of sense au£ from a lack of prin ciple. As for m’y Liring men on my farm, I think I have the right to do so if I choose, and it is no one’s busi ness. I say that not a man in the Democratic nor any other party has offered me one cent, or anything else, for my support, for everybody who was at our meeting in Jefferson knows how I stand. Gentlemen, be it known to the world that I have made no pledges to any party save the Republican party, and whenever it is possible for me to support my party I will do so, for I propose to be true to the office my party gave me. My party placed me at its head with the understanding that we would lay aside both the Peo ple's Party and the Democratic party and organize independently, looking solely to the interest of our own party —if we had a ticket to support it, but if we had no ticket of our own we would take up the next best ticket. The men who helped get up this meeting worked for three months to elect me Chairman, and by their own votes placed me at the head of the Republican party in the county, and they promised to stand by the party. But some of these men have helped to organize a People’s party sines then. They withdrew from our party without cause and wont, and organized another party and now charge me with going off and leaving them. It is the most absurd thing in the world. I am right where they placed me, and doing just as they instructed me. I begged them not to organize anew party, and offered to compromise, but they would not heed. If the above statement is not true, I am ready to meet any call aud stand the test. Gentlemen, if you will confess your faults I will freely forgive you of the charges you made against me ; if not, [ will defend myself at whatever cost. lam under no obligations to either party. So if you will come back right we will shake hands across the bloody sea and go arm and arm in our own party ;if not, let the fight come. If you can win by falsehood, the victory is yours ; but the prophet Joel says, ‘‘Behold, the day cometh, eayeth the Lord, the ploughman will overtake the reaper.” S D. Dowdy. A Good Man Gone. On Friday night last at 8 o’clock Mr. James T. Johnson, a mostwoitby citizen of Jackson county, passed away, after along and painful iliness with typho malarial fever. For three weeks he had been a great sufferer, but, until a very short time previous to his death, no serious apprehensions were felt as to his con dition. Mr. Johnson leaves a stricken wife and seven small children to mourn his death. He has been cut down in the full blush of manhood, when life opened out before him with every prospect of long life and prosperity. He was a man much beloved by his neighbors and friends, who will unite their tears with those of his family over his untimely death. He was a member of the Presbyterian church, and was a faithful Christian and a good citizen. The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon, the services being conduc ted by Rev. Dr. Lane, of this city.— Athens Banner. A fine milch cow for sale cheap for cash, or on time with approved se curity. The cow has a young calf. Apply to R J. Hancock, Jefferson. HAMBLEN'S B AMBLINGS.

We had some fine music at our Sunday schoo last Sunday evening. Miss Lizzie Wheeler of Fannin county, Miss Ella Dickson of Jefferson and Miss Adair of Bo gart are visiting In our town this week. Professor Gunnels and lady from JefTerson passed through our town Monday. Mrs. Emma Bush was In the Valley last week, the guest of Mrs. R. B. Shirley. Also, Misses House and Brewer of Banks county.

Mr. Gunter stepped on the snake before he saw it and jumped about ten feet. Professor L. L. Davis opened his school last Monday morning with thlrty-flve scholars. A few days ago Fritz and Jack Potts were at wprk together in the field, when Fritz, to have a little fun, worked the salavaln his mouth into a foam and went to Jack and told him that a dog had bit him a few days before, and asked blm to tie him. Fritz said he fflt awful bad with foam running out of his mouth, and while Mack was thinking about what to do with him, Fritz snapped at Mack, whereupon Mack knock ed Fritz about ten feet, which had a salutary effect upon the aforesaid Fritz. But Mack says It made his bones ache to think his brother had gone mad and tried to bite him. Mr. J. W. Shirley says he Is the richest man In the Valley. He has a twelve-pound boy at his house. Jlnsey says several want to know the reason why she has not sent any news to The Herald f°r the past two weeks. Jlnsey says Dlisey Ann, Mollle Ann, Tlshla Ann and Sophia Ann all wanted to go up to Jefferson to the Teach ers’ Institute, to learn how to be teachers, and It took about all her time to tlx the gals up and get them off.
