We with to keep tho fact ptonii
nenlly befoie nil *>»v county readers
that there is tc be a mats uieetiog,
held at the cnuit house in '.his place
on the hist day of May, nest, for the
purpose of appointing seven delegates
to a convention, to he held in Cutti
bert, to noniinuto four candidates A.r
the constitutional convention. This
meeting is to he held by authoiity of
a call by the Democratic E> ecuiive
Committees of the three couuties com
posing the 11th senatoiial distiict.
This is a matter to \vl ich every
good citizen should give some atten
tion. If a convention is to be held,
it is important that it should be com
posed of the very be6t mate rial that
the state can muster.
And in order that the action of the
mass meeting may fairly reflect the
wishes of the per pie of the county it
is necessary that they attend and
make their wishes known. Not only
those iu favor of a convention, should
attend, but, also, those opjesed to it,
for all are equally interested in the
proper constitution of the body, in
esse a majority vote to call it.
We hope, then, that evoiy pre
cinct in the county, may be fully and
fairly represented iu the mass meet
ing.
There is a man, named Meeks, un
der sentence of death iu Polk county
Ga., for murder. Meeks and a mar
shal, named Wilkes, had been placed
in charge oi a prisoner, who had beer,
arrested for some misdemeanor, and
were convoying him to a place of con
finement. Alter proceeding quietly,
fur a while, the prisoner took lefuge
in a house, —drew a knife and declin
ed to go any further, threatening the
officers with death, in ease they put
hands on him, whereupon, Meeks and
Wilkes, shot their prisoner and fled.—
Meeks was apprehended, tiied, convic
ted and sentenced to death. The Su
preme Court pronounced the v.
diet a righteous one. The marshal,
Wilkes, has not yet been arrested.
This case teaches an important les
son. Borne pe.iy officers think they
have a right to shoot a prisoner on
the slightest provocation.
The news.hom Eniope is again
getting somewhat warlike. Tut key
is spreading hi r tail and struting de
fiantly before the eastern world. The
prospects of war is having some effect
tu the nnrthein gold arid provision
markets. But, war or peace, we think
from the number of wagon loads ot
bacon Ac., we have seen moving down
Alain street, duiing the pest week
that Dawson and Terrell county has
at least a years supply of rations se
cured, bo we are complacently indif
ferent as to what takes place in Tur
key, Russia, Herzegovina, or any
other man.
The commission that wasseut down
to Louisiana has made a report to
the president. The commissions spem
to think that l’ackard was elected
Governor, but that Nichols has deci
dedly the best actual hold on the of
fice. They think that it would take
an army to enforce Packard’s authori
ty while Nickola.if let alune can run |
the concern without help. The prob- j
ability is that Packard will go the j
way of Chamberlain.
The Southern Hotel, in St. Louis, j
Mo., a large six. story building was j
destroyed by fire one night last week, j
The bouse was full of guests and j
boarders and 11 of them perished in
the flames.
We copy the following notice of au
address delivered by Thomas A.
Cheatham, formerly of this place, and !
eon of Dr. (J. A. Cheatham, from the
Atlanta correspondence of the Macon
Telegraph and Mese.ngtr. The address
was delivered beforo the Pharmaceu
tical Association at Atlanta :
“the address ok
T. A. Cheatham, of Macon, was then
delivered by that gentleman in an
admirable and impressive manner
We regret that we are not able to in
sert the whole of this scholarly and
polished speech, but owning to the
misplacing es it, we were not able to
obtain a eopy in time to do more than
make this brief and imperfect notice.
Dr. Cheatham drserves a higher
praise than wo can give him for this
most successful effort; replete with
truth, power and log's, and wreathed
with the choicest flowers of rhetoric, it
would have reflected credit on a prac
ticed orator.
This address, or rather ovation, was
received with great and hearty
plause,” 1

The Legislature huving piovidod
fir the holding of a Constitution! Con
vention . in the event the people should
so by votes; and, iu
the event that it is so held, it is pro
vided that there shall he lour dele
gea'es from this, the 11th Senatorial
Distiict, and, in case the convention is
held, it is important that we ho rep
resented by our widest and best men,
therefore;
As Chaiirren of the Democratic
Executive Committees we huvo con
sulted fully and finely and have deci
ded that, to attain that object and
preserve the unity of the Democratic
party, it is best to hold a convention
in the usual manner for the nomina
tion of delega'es, and p is, theiefore,
suggested theta mass meeting of the
Democratic patty of the counties of
Randolph, Olay, and Terrel, be held
at their respective county sites, on
Tuesday, the first day of May, next,
at which seven delegates shall be ap
pointed. The delegates, so appointed,
wiii meot Pt Cuthbert, at 12 o’clock,
m. on Wednesday, the 9th day of
May, and select four delegates to be
voted for by the veters of the 11th
Seno'.oiial District at the electu n in
June, next.
Wo earnestly request the people to
attend the meetings to be held on
the flist day of May, aud that they
uuito in the folectioc of wise and dis
crete persons to represent them in the
convention at Cutbbeit, to that the
candidates nominated will meot the
approval of the people.

There is hope for one, at least, of
the Grant boy*, and pet haps for more
than one. When the cortege was
marching up Pennsylvania avenue to
the Capitol on the stb of March, and
the carriage containing the actual and
the Fraudulent President passed a
point where a son ot Gen. Grant was
standing with some of his frionds, he
pointed to Ilayes aid said with much
animation: “That man has no right
there; Tilden was electel.” If the
true inwardness of tho whole family
could bo made known, it would prob
ably appear that this youth was only
expressing the opinion of his house
hold : and if Grant himself had to go
over the work of tho six months
which proceeded his exodus from of
fice, there is good reason to believo
he would strive to shape it differently,
and to retrieve tome of his confessed
blunJeis. Repentance,however, oomes
rather late in the day, when it cannot
mitiga ethecocsequences of the crimes
he committed.—Aria York Sun.
This from the Douglassville Medium ; j
“The economy of the wife of one of our j
citizens is unsurpassed by any one we
have ever beard of. The lady refer- i
red to has been martied sixteen years !
and has four children and since her j
marriage has never purchased a pa-!
per of pins nor a package of needles.'
Neither has sho been an expense to
her husband in the way of purchasing
those nice little articles that go so lar
towards making up the toilet of a wo-1
man—white linen collars. When she!
was married her thoughtful mother
gave her a paper of pine, a package
of needles and one dozen collars and
she still has all these articles and they
have been in constant use. Is there
any offer woman in this State who
bus used one paper of pins sixteen
years?’’
A negro in 1874 burned the house of
Mr. Strange, in Washington county,
and shot Mr. Strange and threatened
his wife, lie disappeared with Sher-1
man’i bummers. On the 3rd inst. the j
Sheriff of Washington county received I
a ditpalch tiorn Lexington, Missouri, I
from this negro, Asa Lawson, asking
if his toirner owners were living. The
Sheriff answered by telograf King the
Marshall of Lexington to arrest the
negro calling lor a dispatch from him,|

been procured, and an agent gone on
to bring Asa back to W ashington

C-S. SIMMONS, : : Editor.:
We attended the Sabbath School
exercises at New Providence church
on last Sunday, and had the pleasure
of listeniug to an interesting lecture
on the Sabbath School cause by,Prof.
W. J. Horsley. The oration wasable
eloquent and instructive, and we trust
that tho School wa* benefited by it. j
Our jovial young friend, SipTuiner,
having donned anew spring suit, is
nowjsojourning among his many friends
in Middle Georgia. If “Cfuilp” of
the “Henry County Weekly." or any
other of his friends aronnd McDon
ough should discoveran unusal amouut
of jewelry about his person, we hope
they will not be so ungenerous as to
think that he is in any way connected
with tho ‘‘George Sharp” swindle, for
Sip, himself, sports a vast amount of
such valuablesnow-a-dnys.
The extremely pious young man,
who “does up” the local page of the
Journal, gives the following advice to
his renders gratutiously:
“Don’t read dime novels on Sunday.”
Now, as to whether be, himself, in
dulges in this sacreligiousamusement, !
we aie not prepared to say, but there’s ,
one thing we do kuow, aud we ’rise
tossk; Which might he considered
the greatest moral wrong, “Dima
novel readiag,’’ or “egg Idlings’ on a
lovely Sabbath evening?”
| No subject for debate, Charley;
it’s very wrong to road dime novels on
Sunday, and we hops you won’t in
dulge. Local Ed J
Cor.mcTroN. —In » recent issue of
! the Journal, we gave an account of
the fracus between Mr. Frank Ister
and Mr. Henry G. Lamar, of Baker
county, in which tbe latter gentleman
was seriously wounded. In gleaning
the particulars of the affair, we were
led to belie >e that thed fficulty origina
ted in consequence ofa law suit pend
ing between the two gentlemen, in
which Mr. Lamar was prosecuting
Mr. Isler for perjury, and so cronicled
it. As to the existance of a law
suit, we were correct; but beg to state
that we were in er'or as toMr. Lamar
being tho prosecuting party. Instead
of Mr. Lamar’s prosecuting Mr. Isler
for perjury, Isler was suing Lamar
for the payment of an old saddle and
some other frivilous aiticle.
We make the correction at the in
stance of Mr. Lamar in order to show
that it was from no personal malice
on the part cf him (Lamar) that
tho difficulty originated.
Died.—Death has again invaded
our community and cast gloom and
sorrow vvor a once quiet and happy
heme. Alisa Lena Smith, who has
resided in Leary ever since the town
was first organized, departed this life
at 3 o’clock on Saturday sveuing lasi,
after a bogering illness of nearly two
weeks of fever.
The deceased was a strictly pious
and estimable young lady, a consis
tent member of the Baptist church and
loved and esteemed by all who knew
her. She leaves an aged mother, and
several brothers and sisters, who have
our sympathy as well as that of
the whole community in their
severe affliction. The funeral
took place from their residence at
3 o clock in the evening following her
demise—a large concourse of sorrow
ing friends being present, among them
the entire Sabbath school of which
she was a member. See resolutions
adopted by tbo Sabbath school.
Sad, —Mr. George W. Avera, of
Morgan, whom we chronicled last
week as lying dangerouily ili of ty
phoid pneumonia, died on the morn
ing of tbo 11th inst., and his remains
were interred in the Methodist ceme
tery on the following day, with mason
ic honor*.
Air. Avera had but fairly entered
the prime of life; was a strict mem
ber of the Methodist church, a good
Mason, a genial, clever gentleman,
and had the confidence and esteem of
all who enjoyed his acquaintance.
He was, we learn, originally from
I Crawford county, and came to Cal
houn soon after the war, locating at
Morgan, at which place he has resi
ded ever since he was for a time prety
extensively sngaged in merchandis
ing, but, being unsuccessful in his
collections, failed in business, and was
at the time of his death couside-ably
embarrassad financially, consequently,
leaving his family in lather destitute
circumstances. From 18G8 to 1872
he served the county as Sheriff, and as
a public officer, he was dilligeut arid
efficient, always lending his best abil
ity to the discharge of the duties im
posed upon him, thereby render
ing perfect and general satisfaction to
his constituency, vv’e, in conjunction
with the who'e county, rrgret pro
fomidly the 'oss of tl is vxltted citizeo,
and tonder the sorrowing widow and
four small childron that he leaves,
our sympathy and condolence in this j
their hour of sore ber&vement, and j
trust that on All-wise Providence may
ever watch over the orphan*, and
prompt them in the absence of a
lather’s counsel.
The Convention Question. —The
Early County IStict, of last week, in
an editorial on tbe Convention ques
tion, puis forth the following sensible
remark*, which coincide with our
opinion exactly;
“There is n responsibility sboul the no*i
lion of delegat-- which wise »nd though!*
ful meu would accept only when so
licited to do so by their fellow-citizens ; but
there is no lack of tniall politicians who, un
solicited, would seek the place ai.d resort to
all the ‘tricks’ known to ‘tbe trade’to secure
their election—for our purl we want none of
these to succeed. We want the movement
of rutting candidates in the field to originate
with the people, aud not with aspirants for
office.”
As to the lime and wanner ol s* I. cting
delegates to represent this .Senatorial Dis
trict (comprising the counties of Calhoun,
Baker and Early,) in the Convention io
fune, ihe Keies -,dds :
‘‘As a convenient time to move in tbe
matter, we would suggest to The people of
the counties composing this district, that
they assemble in mass meeting at their sev
eral Conrt-honses, on the first day of May,
and appoiDt, say ten delegates, to meet in
Arlington, say on the loth day of Mav, for
the purpose of nominating thiee candidates
to represent the district in the convention.”
We coucur with the Xeus that the above
method of selecting candidates is the most
fair and equiiable that could have been
suggested, and one that we are quite confi
dent will be acquiesed in by the people of
this county who favor the caiiiog of a Con
siitution&l Convention ; provided however,
that the thirty delegates go untiaauuelled,
and not pledged to any particular man or
set of men. Jn the meantime, we trust that
theCbiirman of the Executive Committee
of their respective count? s will confer with
each other and take the necessary steps
concerning this important matter.
Tribnte of Respect.
Whereas, in the wisdom of Divine
Providence, it hath pleased Him to remove
Irom oui Sabbath School our beioved and
worthy Sister, Lena Smith ; Whereas, it is a
privilege to give expression of our high res
pect, esteem and love for one who so long
and faithfully labored with us as a student
and teacher; Therefore be it
Resolved, That we bow cheerfully and in
humble submission to tbe will of our Crea
tor, who can make no mistakes.
Resolved, That in the death of our friend,
one hSo gone whose coming in and going out
were but to be seen to be admired.
Resolved, That we commend her sorrow
ing and bereaved family to her Cod, ‘‘Who
dneih all things well,” and Who can give
un o them “Beauty for ashes, tbe oil ol joy
lor mourning and the garments of praise
(or the spirit of heaviness,” a»d that we
er.der them our payers aud heartfelt sym
pa'hies.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions
be spread upon the minutes of our Sabbath
School, a copy be forwaraed to tbe Dawson
Journal with the request that they be pub
lished, and a copy be scat to the afflicted
mother.

Morgan Data by our Kegular Contributor,
Some of the farmers are complain
ing of a bad stand of corn. This is
hard, aspeeially as there is so much
guauo used—under cotton.
Alfred partook toa freely of those
mullets the other day, and says he
aia't tight jet. We suggested a game
of croquet, as it cured the Cok of the
same complaint.
We had a bsd case of ihe habeas
corpus at a special setting of the county
court last Monday. The able lad was
testored to the legal possession of Lu
eiuda Walker, his mother, in conse
quence of which Bane 1 turned loose
wrath upon his oppressor through a
tin bugle, and departed with a clear
conscience.
Croquet now prevails as an amuse
ment iu our town. Judge Beck, Col.
Millet and Judge Munroe are amoDg
our bray performers. Each of these
geutlemen is peculiarly expert at the
game-Judge Beck excelling in quiet
and telling deliberation, Col. Miller in
graceful attitude and scientific stroke,
while Judge Munroe just fights hi#
way by main physical force, aud if he
cau’t get out first he is sure ou keep
ing ethers in eheck.
The Bev. Mr. Houck will lecture at
Morgan on Monday evening, the 23*1
inst., on the subject of religion. We
look forward to the occasion with
pleasure as, no doubt, many other#
do who have before listened with charm
ed eats to the simple eloquence of this
quiet and unassuming, but by no
means ordinary divine. On the en
traiy, Mr. Houck is a man of supe
rior moral and imelectual attainments,
and we take pleasure in so recording
him (though not upon our own judg
ment a/one) to the public aud feel
assured iu the act that wo have not
exceeded tiie bounds of justice duethe
