Negro I-awyer. McDonough has been treated to somewhat of a sensation this week by the appearance of a negro lawyer in court. lie hailed from Jackson, and his name was Johnson, being educated for his profession iu some of the northeu cities. His color is dark mulatto, has an intelligent bearing for one of his race, conducted himself becomingly and was treated with due respect. He defended another negro for mis demeanor and conducted his case very creditably, but lost it before the jury. As he was the first, colored limb of the law ever in the Henry county court house, and the first ever seen by many of our citizens, naturally enough lie attracted considerable attention. Robbery. .Mr. Clarence Harris, of Flippeu, was robbed of a valise at Griffin last Friday, while on bis way from Gor don instiiute at B irnesville to the ex position. The valise c mtaiued a fine suit of clothes and some valuable jewelry, be sides miscellaneous wearing apparel.

Much valuable property will lie put upon tlie market, Itv executors and ad ministrators, in winding up estates, and the occasion w ill afford an excellent opportunity f«>: those desiring to pur chase land to get almo-t any amount they may want. Altogether, the attractions could scarcely he better, as some of the most choice localities in the county are in cluded. Out of the large amount to he disposed of, bargains of joorse wi’l he obtained. Consequently a big crowd w ill he on hand—some to buy, many to look on, others to swap horses, not a few for tun, etc , etc. —in short, you will not he “iu it” if you stay away from McDonough next Tuesday. Below is the list of sales to be made : The Arch Brown estate, consisting of some valuable lots, houses and oth er investments in Locust Grove, be sides excellent farms of various sizes near by —a tine opportunity for any sort of purchaser.

This gentleman preached an able sermon at the lloptist church last night A pastor has not fteeu selected for this church yet, and as Mr Culpepper will doubtless be among the names consid ered, we reproduce the following from the last issue of the Jonesboro News, in order that our citizens may know in what esteem he is held Ity those who know him well: “Rev. Culpepper was called at the last regular conference to serve the Baptist church at this place another year. Our readers may obtain some idea of Rev. Culpepper’s popularity with the Baptist congregation here when we announce that this call was a unanimous one, and every member of the church rejoices that this able and fearless preacher of the gospel has ac cepted the call. He will soon begin the erection of a home iu our town, and it is understood that he intends to make Jonesboro his permanent abiding place. He has also accepted a call of the church at Hollanville, iu Bike coun ty. and will preach there once a month. He received a call fiotu the Flat Creek church in Fayette county and could not accept. Also the Hogansville church culled him and liave not yet been answered. Help Your Town. An exchange has this to say in re gard to helping one’s town, and it is well worthy of every man’s attention. By helping to build up our town we make it possible to build up ourselves. It is the duty of every citizen to do and say everything possible in favor of bis town Read these few words and j profit by them : “Help your town. It is the place in which your living is made. Your neighbors live there, and they are your friends. Help it. Think well of it. Speak well of it. Enter iuto public plans. It is not necessary to go wild, to spend more money than you can spare, but you can help some. Don’t forget that if you do well by yourself, by your home, by your family, you are helping the towu, but something more direct still can be done. Don’t think when times are dull in your town, that they are duller there than anywhere else. Be hopeful. Believe in your town. Believe in its future Prophe sy good things. Think well of the 1 people. They are good folks. Be ' lieve it. Speak of their merits, Quit talking about their faults. Know ev i erybody and be pleasant to all.” Cotton. Ihe cotton market is still quoted at cents for good middling. It has been staudinf at this figure for some time, with but little prospect of an advance at present. It is hard to take even 8 cents for the staple, and all who can are holdhig it with a hope for better prices. Give us your job work. It will re ceive prompt attention. Superior Court. ! lie second week of court lies hern consumed with tlit- ciiinitial docket, "diieh was taken ii|> Monday morning. Below is a list ol the cases disposed of as far as we could oh ain at the time of going to press yesterday evening: Clark Gilmore, was found guilty of assault and battery, lined SSO and costs. •John < : ollis and Byrd llvidson, charged with tiring gin house of d. B. Bryans—Col lis acipiitted, Davidson nol prosstal. Ike Crockett and .lira Rogers, lar ceny —Crockett 8 months in chain gang, Rogers 12 months.

Claik I’pchurch. selling whiskey, lined SSO and costs. Adam Ellis, assault with intent to murder, plead guilty to assault and battery, titled sftio. A number of other cases were dis posed of, hut we are unable to get re suits for this issue. The “Big Spring.” Perhaps thousands of times lias ex pression been uttered as to what a love ly resort might be made of the place surrounding McDonough’s “Hig Spring.” I lie place is notorious, being well known us a part of AleDonough’s his lory, and ihose who know the town need no description of it. \Ve understand that I)r. J. M. Arm strong, of Jonesboro, Ims made appli cation to the county authorities for the purchase of several acres around the spring, his purpose being to move his water cure establishment here. If he succeeds his plan is to erect a nice hotel for the accommodation of patients, together with other suitable and attractive conveniences. The Weekly sincerely trusts that the arrangement may be satisfactorily and speedily made. As it now stands it is no possible benefit to the county or town, hut if improved would not on ly become attractive, but a great ad vantage to the entire community. lly all means let the sale l»e made if possible and theieby turn this val liable piece of property to some ac count It is capable of being converted into one of the loveliest places in the State. Then why not utilize, rather than let it lie idle ? Improve! Improve! Improve! IMease Remember. The money season is now here, and while it is passing we kindly ask our readers not to forget the small amount due us for subscrihtion It is true each subscription, isolated, is a small matter, ami to the individual in insignificant, but several hundred summed up is a very great help to us.
