Library Swindle.
The Gazette feels it n duty to
those citizens *>f this community
who have subscribed to the
“Franklin Square Library Com
pany,” J. M. Axlev, Agent., to say
the enterprise is a genuine swindle.
In the first place the Franklin
Square Library is copyrighted by
Harper Jc Bros., N. Y. On their
publications, which constitute the
Franklin-Square Library, will be
found riXntice” to the . effect that
Harper A Bros, ‘‘are in no manner
responsible for the formation of
chins” as persons representing
themselves as agents for Harper’s
Franklin Square Library, are get
ting up.
Now the GO books proposed for
•1-10.00, can he bought from the
book store in Barnesville for ten
dollars. Why give WO for the
privilege of reading them one or
two years as the “agent” proposes?
Take the S4O and invest it in books
for the Public Library soon to be
organized, and you have them here
as long as they will last, and four
times as many of them. If you
need the proof of what we say, call
at this office and get it.
Eighteenth Volume.
With this issue of the Gazette,
we print the first number of volume
eighteen Wo have no promises for
the future, hut to work hard and do
the best we can, under the circum
stances, as Bill Arp advises. With
the late fire, came a change in tie
form of the paper and an increase
in its size, to amply meet the grow
ing patronage. We are more than
gratified that many readers have
assured us that they are belter pleas- j
ed with the New (iazetto, than they j
were with the old, quoto form, and
the enlargement was a necessity,
and yet we fully realized that it was
an experiment. We shall endeavor
to give you a paper that will be
welcome at any fireside in the state,
and one whose contents are sufli
contly varied to meet the tastes o
all classes. We shall he found on
one side or the other of all impor-
tant questions of the day, and will
tax one best endeavors in behalf of
morality, good goverment and the
advancement and protection of
society. In so doing we feel ve
shall always he in good company
and much of it.
We desire to have every family
in the county receive and read the
Gazette. If your neighbor, does not
take if lend him a number or two
of yours and he will see that he
cannot do without it.
Upson Superior Court.
In the last issue of the Gazette
we gave the organization of Upson
Superior Court, and endeavored to
get the cases disposed of up to go
ing to press, but did not do so.
The civil business disposed of was
limited, owing to a day and a half
being cpnsumed in empanneling a
jury in one ease, a juror getting
sick and causing a continuance of
the case till the next term of the
court, thereby losing that day and a
half.
The criminal docket was taken
up Thursday, and the State vs.
John Drake was called. A jury
was soon empannelled and the case
was given to the jury late Friday.
A verdict of guilty was promptly
rendered. John, in all probability,
will pay the penalty for murdering
his wife, as that is the crime of
which he has been found guilty.
Judge Stewart adjourned the
court Saturday to Monday.
The conductor not receiving or
ders Sunday to run the train to
Barnesville," Judge Stewart and
Solicitor Womack had to lay o ver

Macon to engage in business, deci
ded to return to Thomaston and

Col. J. T. Tisinger boanlcd ihe
up train Saturday and spent Sun
day with his wife in Gainesville. Re
turning on the down fast mail tram
Monday morning, the track sprung
and several boxes were thoroughI}' 1 }'
jostled up by the cross ties. Strange
to say, however, the cars all got
hack on the track save two wheels
that supported the tender. About
an hour was spent in getting these
on the track.
Mx. W. T. Hammond, who has
i been severely afflicted for several
I days with sore eyes, has suflicient
! ly recovered to resume his duties
with the road.
Mr. Robert Mitchell was in town
last Saturday with a drove of hand
; some mules. For several years
past he has been supplying the
farmers of this section with mules
and horses. He drove them out to
I his elegant farm, where all who de
-1 sire to purchase can see them.
Mr. Berry Williams was acquit

The court then took some negroes

While my opinion is not entitled to much
weight I will venture It any way. 1 believe
there is an element of truth, in the position ta
ken by each of the gentlemen; but not all of
the truth. Another element which enters
into non-paying farming;-—is the over prod
uction of the cotton crop, and a failure to
make the farm sell" Sustaining, in the way of
provisions for man and beast. I know this Is

I have tried seven or eight physicans

It was affected by Swift’s Spcifie.

for six years with Asthma and

was felt, and by continuing its use
for a short time she was completely

There is a man in this neighbor
hood eighty three years old who
bus been in his bed "fifteen months.
When he first took his bed a physi
cal! was called in and thoroughly
diagnosed the caso.The doctor left a
few tonics and said he would soon
be up and all right. But such was
not the case. Days, weeks, months
and a year passed and still he kept
hi# heel. All this time life recieved
more attention than a real sick
person and the family and relatives
become worn out waiting on him.
Something had to be done, so tho
family petitioned the ordinary for
relief The Ordinary issued a com
mission directed to twelve compe
tent Jurors, one a physician, to
m**et and examine and pass a ver
dict upon the said man —So on the
21th .Jan’y last the twelve Jurors
with Dr. H. Perdue as physician
met at the home of Sherod B.
Shehee and after inspection, con
sultation and examination brought
in a verdict of imbecility.
On the Ist Monday in February
there will be a guardian appointed
for the said Sherod B. Shehee
which ought to have been done
over a year ago, which would have
saved a great deal of trouble and
anxiety on the part of the family.
The family can not be praised too
highly for the patience they have
shown and exercised towards this
old man —I have been an ej'e
witness to this whole business and
know whereof I speak, and I have
told the family often that they must
be closely related to old man Job-
Old man George Buffington still
lives but there is no hope of his
recovery As I said before ho will
be quite a loss to tho community
and a greater loss to his immediate
family, as he will leave two single
daughters, to battle with this un
friendly world as best they can.
They arc, however, grown and have
been taught the lessen of self
protection.
There is right smart sprinkling
of sickness in the neighborhood, at
present writing, but nothing serious
or fatal.
Potato Creek has swollen, its
banks and is committing depreda
tions upon fences and cultivated
lands. She is a bad neighbor, and.
causes your humble scribe to do a
great deal of hard work every spring
repairing washed away fences. But
you say there is a stock law usd you
dont need any fences. Me are com
pelled to have pasturage and the
creek swamps is the best place wo
have. I kept all my fences intact
around my premises till tins year,
I thought "1 would he in fashion and
removed the rails around our field
on the public road that had no
water in it and could never benefit
me for pasturage. I am sorry now
1 . moved that for last Saturday
while the ground was wet enough to
mire a saddle blanket, a drove of
twenty five or thirty mules came
by in "high spirits. They didnt keep
the main road but scattered all
over that said field. 1 have taken
great pains for several years to keep
all stock off of that fluid in order to
1 get it in good tilth. Just as soon
1 as I take the benefit of tho Stock
law I have my prospects for a crop,
for that drove of mules has ruined
a portion of that field for years to
come. What ismy remedy? Shall I
sue the owner of the mules for
damages? That certainly would
look badly and 1 cant do that.
Mules we are compelled to have,
and how will we get them if we
forbid them travelling over our pre
mises. J wish hereafter they would
pick a dry time to come through
this part of the country.
I am glad to see so much written
in your colums upon agriculture.
While n:> two seem to agree, great
good is being done to the masses,
they advice is, diversify and inten
sify. I believe it will yet be the
salvation of our country.
