GRIFFIN GEORGIA. SUNDAK MORNING, JUNE 24 188*
BY JINCO I
The Maine Statesman Sup¬
posed to be the Man.
THE GHICAGO CONVENTION AD¬
JOURNS UNTIL MONDAY
MORNING,
When Blaine is to be Nominated,
With McKinley as Second
on the Ticket.
Special to the News.
Chicago, June 23.— The fourth
ballot in the Republican convention
today resulted as follows: Alger 135,
Allison 88, Gresham 98, Lincoln 1,
Foraker 1, Douglass 1, Blaine 42,
McKinley 11, Harrison 21?, Sherman
238.
Chicago, June 23.— The fifth bal¬
lot resulted as follows: Blaine 46,
Alger 142, Allison 99, Gresham 89,
McKinley 14, Harrison 213, Sherman
236. After this ballot the conven
tion adjourned till 4 o’clock. Depew
took the platform and said that the
friends of all the candidates except
Harrison had agreed that Blaine
should be nominated by acclamation
at 4 o’clock. There is a chaooe, how
ever, of McKinley coming to the
front. The combination suggested
is Blaine for President and McKinley
for Vice President.
Chicago, 8:05 p. ____When the
convention reassembled at four
o’clock this afternoon, the field
bunched against Harrison and car
ried a motion, to adjourn until eleven
o’clock on Monday. This is held to
mean that Blaine is the only maa
who can be nominated, and the ticket
will probably be Blaine and McKin¬
ley.
. Williamson Notes.
Williamson, Ga., Jnne 22.— Think
ing a few briefs from this qnarter
would not be amiss in showing np
the progress of this oar little hamlet,
I subjoin its status (present) with its
future prospects. There are at present
three dry goods and groceries houses
and one furniture store house. There
are many other projects in contem
plation for the building np of tbe
plaoe. A cotton press would add
largely to the cotton trade at tbi 8
place next fall, which would be
very convenient and acceptable to
Griffin. A company is now prospect
ing its building. Little Williamson
now, big Williamson then! The
name then may become West Griffin.
Mr. Editor, I would like to make
some mention of one of the officers,
W. O, Gwynn, depot and ticket agent
of the Atlanta & Florida railroad at
this place. His courtesy and polite
ness to the traveling public together
with his accommodating business
transactions will surely win for the
road an inflance and p^war to be ap
predated. Suffice it to say should
the road be officered throughout the
line with sneb men as he is, it will be
one of tbe most popular roads as a
public carrier in tbe State. Now, a
word of bis chronological history.
He is dcscendent from one of the
first families of of Georgia. He mar
ried also into an equally distinguish
ed family. He belonged to the staff
of General John B. Gordon as Lis
special courier in the Confederate Ar
my, where he won for himself by his
gallantry the confidence and esteem
not only of those in higher rank, but
even those who were tbe more hum
ble. A, H. R.

Mrs. Helen Behrens, of New Or¬
leans, recently paid a visit to tbe
Louisiana state penitentiary, and was
astounded to discover that there is
not a Bible in the building. The
Temperance union, to which she re¬
ported the matter, agreed to send
two dozen Bibles, and other people
have promised to contribute .books
of various kinds for a library. Two
dozen Bibles seems totally inadequate
for the convicts, forty five of whom
are in for life. Can’t New Orleans
do better than that, or do tbe people
of that city think the two dozen will
urt be read?
An incident occurred in New
York the other day which would
have been impossible among the
Bedouin Arabs or the negroes of
Senegambia. A Georgia lady and
her daughter, refined, highly accom
plished, aristocratic, once wealthy
but now penniless, went to New
York in search of employment in
music and painting. They failed in
these efforts aud were reduced to ex
ceedingly sore straits. Tbe poor
girl’s writing desk contained corres
pondence iliowing that she had gone
to the extremity of seeking employ
ment incognito in distributing cir
culars in the street. She was even
unsuccessful in this pitiful recourse,
and pawned her clothes and trinkets
for bread, and cast herself from the
belfry of ber tenement, seeking relief
in death as the only alternative but
dishonor or starvation. This could
not have happened among tbe bar
bariaos of tbe Steppes or tbe Pam
pas, lor the simpler the life the more
human, but it might have happened
in Cincinnati, or Philadelphia, (or
Louisville. There is too much money

An Offset Claim. .1
From tbe Farm Magsria*. W',
A hired man, who has bees am-
ployed on a farm io this county, en¬
tered suit against bis employer tbe
other day for balance of wages,
amounting, as be claimed, to 182.
The suit was on trial in Justice el
ley yesterday, and iMooked at first as
if the plaintiff had e oiear case, He
gave dates and figures in e straight
forward way.*When tbe farmer took
tbe stand be said: “I claim an off¬
set tor that $32, for I honestly owe
it.”
"What is your offset?” said tbe
lawyer.
“He is an unbeliever.”
“In what?”
“What has that got <o do with
your justly owing hi,»■ ..’ ?”
“It has a beep t<> • » U» it. I
bad six hands in my employ and we
were hurried when I faired this man.
He had not been with us two days
when he stopped the reaper in tbe
middle of the forenoon to dieffete
about Daniel in the lion’s den, aud in
three days we bad a knockdown over
the whale swallowing Jonah. The
man who rnns the mower got to
arguing about Sampson, and drove
over a stump and damaged tbe mft
chine to the tone of $18. The next
day ray boy broke hjf leg while
climbing the fence to listen to the
row that was going on over tbe chil¬
dren of Israel goin’ thro’ the Red sea.
Worst of ait my wife said the didn’t
believe Elijah was fed by the ravens,
and bang it all, I found myeelf weak
ening over Noah and his flood. That
is my offset, sir; and if he was worth
anything I’d sue him for $1,000 be¬
sides.”
