Negro I-awyer.
McDonough has been treated to
somewhat of a sensation this week by
the appearance of a negro lawyer in

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.

Large Amount of Valuable Property
to be Put I poo tile .Market and a
Lively Time Ahead
Next Tuesday will he one of the
biggest sale days Henry county has
had iu a long time.
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

Clark, administrators.
Itev. K. Culpepper.
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

Ike Crockett and .lira Rogers, lar
ceny —Crockett 8 months in chain

Henry Spivey, assault with intent
to murder—verdict of guilty.
Nelse Tomlinson plead guilty to
assault with intent to murder-—*) years
in chain gang.
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. Indeed, it is
impossible for us to get along without
these little mites, and we mean just
what we sav when we tell you we need
the money—and need it now.
