Th* Hail resolutions formed the

important before the legislature—-and

The resolutions read:
Whereas, It is alleged by those
who now control the Western and
Atlantic railroad that they have
certain chums against the statej
growing out of the lease of the said
road,and,
Whereas, They allege a wish and
willingness to settle and adjust the
same, and,
Whereas, Neither the validity of
said claims nor the duty of the state
to allow the same or make any set¬
tlement thereof is admitted, but,.
Whereas, It can work no harm to
receive from said parties an author¬
itative statement of their claims and
their proposed settlement thereof;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That a joint committee
of five from the senate and nine from

Every Kind of Business Room in
« Griffin Rented.
There is not a vacant business
opening in Griffin.
Most of the more available ones
were rented early in the season, and
the last three on hand were rented
yesterday
J. A. Scott has rented the room in
the News and Sun building, just va-
caten by Mrs. Benson, and will open
up a general store.
L. Gordon, of Atlanta, who had
store here last fall, has secured ac¬
commodations in the front of G. A.
Cunningham’s room for dry goods,
shoes, etc.
Kinard & Brother, of Towaliga,
have rented the room on West Solo¬
mon street recently occupied by
Spence & Smith, and will sell dry
goods and groceries with, it is said
>
a slight sprinkling of wet goods.
Everybody is looking forward to a
big business for Griffin this fall, and
if everybody will advertise liberally
in the News and Sun, which circulates
in this and all adjoining counties,
we w|li be sure to get it.

Macon eptton buyer has made ar¬
rangements with a Liverpool firm so
that he can allow a tare of eight
pound* on every bale of cotton ship¬
ped by him, and that.be has located
a buyer in Barnesvilfe. This is the
most patent nonsense, as no Liver¬
pool firm would ever enter into such
arrangement, thereby paying for
eight pounds more of cotton on every
bale than he buys, and losirg that
much without any necessity for it,
because so far at leastt here has been
no necessity for such action in order
to get all the cotton that is wanted.
Besides, if they wanted to buy cotton
on such terms, they would have lo¬
cated their buyer in Griffin, which re¬
ceives three or four times as much
cotton as Barnesville. It is simply
a scheme to get cotton to Barnes¬
vilfe under false pretenses, and will
react on that place.

The work is being done as cheaply

This is because, as the raifrood au¬

they mean this, as tlfe present hovel

J§The new depot, it is said, will be
built of wood, although a handsome
structure, possibly costing several
thousand dollars. It will be located
just west of Sixth street, which will
be bridged, thus allowing all the
room from the farther end of the
freight depot to Hill street for trains
to stand without blocking travel.
Owing to the elevation on each side
of the railroad at the Sixth street
crossing, this bridge can be easily
built.

Dr. Henry H. Tucker.
Augusta Evening News.
The greatest light in the Baptist de¬
nomination in America was extin¬
guished this morning when Bev. Dr.
Henry Holcomb Tucker died at his
home in Atlanta. The simple an¬
nouncement of his death was a sudden
and terrible shock to all who heard
it, for the qews of the accident which
befell him ofrSatUMay night had not
reached this community, and when
the conseqnences and fall meaning of
his taking off were considered, the
sorrow and feeline of irreparable loss
were deep-seated, wide-spread and
universal.
Dr. Tucker had no superior in pul¬
pit ability and was without a peer in
logical statement and pure argumen-
tati ve power in this country. Added
to this his zeal and eloquence were
strong factors in his character aad
maimer; and his general gifts and
wide experience made him one of the
most commanding figures in the min¬
istry on this continent. He was a
southern man and a Georgian in all
that the patriotic term conveys. He
was born in Warren county, and af¬
ter a long and varied career in the
ministry, in educational leadership
and in the editorial chair of the lead,
ing Baptist paper in this section, he
passed away fall of years and honors
to the final reward set apart for the
saints in glory.
In addition to his ministerial serv¬
ices in his native county and else¬
where in Georgia, Dr. Tucker was
connected with both Mercer Universi¬
ty and the University of Georgia,
which latter he was Chancellor from
1874 to 1876 "inclusive. Since his
resignation he has been connected
with the Christian Index, and he was
owner and editor in chief at the time
of his death. He was one of the best
educated men of bis day, and his
written and spoken words had the
brightness of sunshine and the weight
of pure gold. His published sermons
will remain as a monument and me¬
morial of a great man, and his won
derfal lectures to the students of the
University and his editorials and
sketches in his paper will be cherish¬
ed and preserved among the richest
recollections and rarest gemsgather.
ed in a lifetime. The clearness of his
expression and the truth of his words
carried conviction to head and heart,
and left an indellibleimpression which
never failed of doing good to all who
heard him.
“A prince and a great man isfalfen
this day in Israel,” and all who ever
knew, read or heard of Dr. Tucker
will join in the profound spmpathy
and condolences which we extend to
the devoted wife, son and daughter,
who are now bowed in grief over the
prostrate form of the great leader,
whose home life was after all the best
and happiest and highest part of his
career. Here he was seen at his best;
and his conversation, rich in humor
and ihformation, freighted with Jove
and friendship, and free from re¬
straint, well matched in charm and
strength the weightier utterances of
his public life. His family circle was,
indeed, a happy one, and was un¬
broken until this sudden loss of it*
head and the fountain of its inspira¬
tion. His son and namesake was
connected with him in his editorial
work, and he inherits the ability of
his father, and, let us hope, will at¬
tain to that father's stature and
reputation. His daughter is happily
wedded to Dr. Hunter P. Cooper, a
rising young physician of Atlanta,
and these three worthy mad estima¬
ble children will comfort and brighten
the remaining days of a mother now
breft of her life partner and her
greatest joy. Dr. Tucker was past
bis three score and ten year*, aad re¬
covery from a faff two days ago was
