The Marion County Clipper came out last week much improved every way. Andrew Jackson and George Washington are citizens of this county. From the amount of guano going- out we predict a good time for law¬ yers next fall. Several strangers from Americus attended the funeral services of Hon. J. X. Hudson.

Money: Money Cheap Money 200,000 dollars to loan on improv¬ ed farms in Schley and Macon counties. Titles must be perfect, for particulars apply in person or by letter to J. C. Mathews, jan7-3m Americus, Ga. Col Bill McCrory says he has been running hogs out of his yard and garden for the last seven years, but says now since he got his new yard and garden that he is done; wonder if he got any body’s be¬ sides his own. Mr. F. M.Devane, showed us last week an Indian relic,he picked u port his place not exactly in the shape of a tomahawk but our opinion is that it is not that instrument, but such is the peculiar shape of the ancient article we have not been able to get any name for it. Go to J. T. Carter’s for your La rd- ware and groceries; such-as meat, meal, sugar, coffee, flour, tobacco and a general line of merchandise. He also has the combined Euraka cotton planter and guano distri l>u- tor, plant’s corn and peas. Mr. William Allen will sell as cheap as any. A wrong impression is prevailing on VV. C. King mail weigher at Anderson. lie was culled off unex¬ pectedly to meet a party at Fort Valley, on business and was order¬ ed to Atlanta from there. It was all a joke about his being arrested in Fort Valley. He did not have time after receiving orders, to come back and pay his board, but Air. Buber informs us that he settled up his board, sent tlie money by ex¬ press. Mr. King we think is a nice young man and a perfect gentle- man and is so regarded by those who made his acquaintance during ltis stay in our town. I’EUNOftAL.. Col. 0. H. Hudson, was in town yesterday. J. A. 8. Baisden, of Atlanta, in the city last week. Mr. P. H, Williams, of Americus, attended the fur.eral services Hon. J. N. Hudson. Mr. J.T.

H, anti ourself accepted an in¬ vitation last Saturday to a turkey dining at Dr.Sears. We don’t know how the others felt but can say that we felt better just after dinner than we did before. The Dr. and his excellent wife will please ac¬ cept our thanks. We hope to have the p] easur() 0 f returning thanks to ^me one else soon. It was not the only turkey by several that we have helped to devour in our sociable lit- tie town. Esq. 8. Murray, tells us the fol- lowing:J.li.Collins is his son-in-law and has two children. The parents on both sides are all livii g and the great-grand-lather and great-grand¬ mother on fathers side and great- grand-inother on mothers side, making four grand parents and three great-giaud-pareuts, seven iu all. He also states there is a flat indian rock on his place with smooth sur¬ face except iu the middle where it is hollowed out as lie thinks by In¬ dian ingenuity for a mortar for pounding their medicines. Mail Route. All that want a mail route estab¬ lished from Butler by the following offices: Starting point at Ellaville; SchU ,y f Murrav X Roads, Turners Chapel) Batemans Mill’s and lJut- ler, will ple.ise get up every name they can in the vicinity of each of¬ fice and send to us at as early day as possible and we will forward a petition with th ir names attached to Hon. C. F. Crisp, our member in Congress and solicit his influence in securing the much needed route. We hope all that are friendly to the route will interest themselves with¬ out delay and inform us as early as convenient. We heard some of the Schley guards, 5th Ga., telling funny war happenings the other day among them there was a man that stole some meal and about that time the yankees tame on them and every man was doing his best getting away ami the meal man among them. When they got to a place of of ^safety he unloaded as he thought his meal but no meal was there, while he was running a yanki t hall struck the sack cutting a hole large enough for the flying meal man to lose his meal; he could be tracked by the meal. Another a member of the clinch Rifles from Augusta 5th Ga., just be¬ fore (lie tight at Coosahatchic, S. C., the man in question, had a chicken cut up when they received orders to charge but carried his chicken in one hand and gun in the other when going through an old Held he held up his frying pan to keep trash from getting in it when they stopped he would prepare to cook. lie was no¬ ticed holding on to his chicken through the charge, from to best report he failed to get a taste of his chicken. Lieut Frank Ford, from the same company caught a rabbit during the tight at Chickainuga and the last our informant saw he had it under his arm carried through the fight amid flying bullets.

Two of ouryoung ladies called on a young mini Sunday eve, but he failed to he at home, it is ’nt leap year yet young ladies. Our school is progressing finely. Mr. 8ttwtell, of the Marshallville Times, was in our town last week soliciting subscriptions. ■m-g— a mt 1 . l>ciith of lion. Janie. \c\«i<iu Hudson. Hon. J. N. Hudson, was born in Laurens county, Oa., April 11th, 1832 and died at liis home in this county, March 2lith J88G. His father and rnotliel were married in 1807, in Colleton District, 8. C., and moved the same year to Laurens county, Oa. Ilis father amassed consider¬ able wealth, and was a generous hopitable man. The subject of this sketch was the youngest of thir¬ teen children. His parents died when he was young. He was noted for his piety. He entered Emory College at 17 and graduted at 21 never receiving a mark for an im¬ perfect lesson or any misconduct. Bishop Pierce’s own words about him when he graduated were that no young man ever graduated with abetter record. lie could not con¬ scientiously become a lawyer or physician. He was married in 1857 to Miss Amanda M. Stewart. They had eight children six living. He also has four grand children. On the breaking out of t lie war he enlisted in 17th Ha., in August 1802 as a private soldier soon after he entered the service ho was made chaplain by the soldiers of the regi¬ ment and continued in this position lili the close of the war. After the war he taught school with marked ability and satisfaction. In 1878 he was elected senator from the 13th district and filled the position w ith great credit to himself and his dis¬ trict, He was a generous man and the best of all,a Christian. His house was the home of the minister. He will be greatly missed at home in the church, an l by an apprecia¬ tive public. The esteem in which he was held was plainly demon¬ strated by a packed house last Sun¬ day morning, people coming from Americus and all over the county to witness the last sail rights of the beloved departed, the weather was not very inviting. His dying ad¬ monitions were truly affecting and we hope will be sanctified to good. Mb. Editor:— In common with all good citizens we are proud of our record so far as the violation of our penal statutes are concerned. If the last grand jury investigated as to the violation of the penal laws then indeed are we almost free from crime; but as they are chosen and sworn on account of their up¬ rightness, intelligence, and experi¬ ence their deliberations should lie open to praise or censure. To come to tlie point; about twelve true bills were returned against our best citi¬ zens for giving a minor whisky. This is a violation ot our law but did the circumstances authorize the grand jury to devote all of their time to this question and exclude all others and some of much more importance. We believe in temperance not only as to liquor, but everything else. Weare proud that it is a vio¬ lation to sell whisky in tlie county except by a two thirds vote of the freeholtiers living within three miles of the place of sale, but when we see extreme measures insisted upon this or any* other question then we doubt the wisdom of otu grand jury. Most all of thejreaders are familliar with the history of “The massacre of St. Bartholomew and the causes that lead to it and the result of it. There is a limit to human endurance, there is a line that borders reason and beyond which is injustice, fanaticism, and tyranny. Let us not be intemperate about temperance for if these ex¬ treme measures are insisted upon though we are .'no prophet still we believe that whiskey will be sold herein less than twelve months. Weare reliably informed that at least ten of the grand jurors are guilty of giving whisky to minors, if this is true should not they pass under the same rod that they call on others to pass under and if the tone of public opinion does not modify I am certain that they will be called to account. All the violations complained of is in regard to one man or boy living here away from his parents and ap¬ parently twenty one years of age and if not twenty-one for the sake of peace ought to have been. How is a man to know when a person is twenty-one, usually the party can not remember the occurrence and if at a party with a young lady you must not ask her to have wine be¬ cause it is presumed they are not eighteen summers and that pre¬ sumption remains with them untij I they are married and it would for j ever plight the brightest prospects to ask their age. We will guaran¬ tee that there is not more that one fifth of the people in Schley but that has violated this law. In conclu¬ sion we will say that there is no true bill against us. Very truly, X.
