tivities of an occasion like this to
linger beneath the beautiful oaks,
and together recount the splendid
time spent beneath their protecting
a?gis.
Substantial Improvements.
Mr. Hyde has commenced work
on the new colored Methodist
church. He has a full number of
workmen engaged, and he expects
to push forward the work, so as to
be on hand when any other work
may require his attention.
The old buildings belonging to
the Thomas estate, on the corner of
Peace and Liberty streets, have dis
appeared, and Contractor Hyde is
laying the foundation for two hand
some brick stores. There will be
two stories to this building. On the
second floor will be large rooms
which will probably be occupied by
the dub and one or more of the
lodges.
—Scherer always keeps the finest
and best fruits to be found in the
market.
The Jury Presentments.
The presentments of the grand
jury refer to matters of general in
terest to every citizen of the couuty.
They are published in this issue of
The Citizen, and are well worth
a careful perusal and thoughtful
consideration. The matter of coun
ty finances, the records of the courts,
the duties of public officials and the
best mode for the education of our
children, have all passed under the
investigation of the jury, and the
satisfactory results of their exami
nation are embodied in the present
ments.
The suggestion and recommenda
tion that “the term of the grand
juror shall extend to the next term
of the court when their successors
are sworn in,” should be carried
out. The laws ought to be enforced,
and there should be some legalized
element in every community em
powered and authorized to take cog
nizance of all wrong doing so that
the interests of the people are pro
tected and the good name of the
county preserved. “What’s every
body’s business, is nobody’s,” is a
fact that the every day experience
of the world fully demonstrates. A
citizen in his private capacity very
often really fails to do his duty be
cause he does not care to appear
officious in attempting the control
of such matters as does not directly
interest him; besides he would
avoid the enmity and ill will oi
those whose wrongful acts he would
bring up for public investigation.
The officers of our courts—those em
powered to arrest and try offenders
—one would imagine were ex-officio
not only authorized but enjoined to
consider it a part and parcel of their
obligations to see that the laws in
their respective localities are re
spected. But these officials con
strue their duty to consist in arrest
ing and trying offenders only after
others have brought them up for
punishment. According to the idea
aud plan as heretofore practiced it
has been considered as the duty of
the grand jury only to act while the
body is in session, which ouly em
braces about five days for each term
of the court. Now if the actual
duties and obligations of the jury
are construed to last until the next
panel is sworn in, then there will
be scattered all over the county
some of its best citizens whose oaths
will enforce them to report all vio
lations of law. This extension of
time will add to the influence and
usefulness of a grand juror, and the
mere fact that there is one or more
men in every neighborhood whose
obligations force them to report the
doings of bad citizens will exercise
a most salutary influence. Again,
our public officials may be, and we
trust are, faithful in the perform
ance of all their duties, but during
the short space of-only four or five
days when the jury has really more
work than it can do, it cannot in
vestigate the public records and be
come cognizant of the acts and do
ings of the various county officers.
To meet this emergency the jury
acted wisely in appointing a com
mittee of three from its body, whose
duty it shall be to examine careful
ly all the public records and report
their action to the next jury so that
their attention can be specially di
rected to all such matters as will
need their intelligent action.
We are glad that the jury investi
gated the charges as to the misman
agement of hhe board of education,
and it is a matter of general con
gratulation that this investigation
exonerated the board: and the an
nouncement is made that the school
board has been faithful in the dis
charge of its onerous and Important
duties. The matter of education
appeals directly to us all, and the
able report of Commissioner Roberts
will be published in pamphlet form
for general distribution, and the
people will get much valuable in
formation. Mr. Roberts has made
education his study, and to it he
has devoted all the years of his use
ful manhood. He is a zealous work
er, and his experience, zeal com
bined, peculiarly fits him for the
important duties entrusted to him.
The compliment paid him by the
jury is merited.
A Handsome building.
When completed the new store of
Messrs. Daniel, Sons & Palmer, ot
Millen, Ga., will be one of the hand
somest buildings to be seen in any
town. The building is of brick, two
stories high. On the first floor there
are two store rooms, 120x25 feet
each, with iron fronts and galvan
ized iron cornices, and plate-glass
windows. The second story is of
granite and pressed brick. There
will be a large elevator and the en
tire up-stairs will be embraced in
one large room which will be used
for storing goods in bulk. The cost
ot the building is $14,000. In its
construction 415,000 bricks were
used, 300 barrels of lime, 1,000 cart
loads of sand, and 100,000 feet of
lumber were used. Mr. T. O. Brown,
ot Augusta is the contractor. This
firm is one of the largest as well as
the best in Georgia and their in
creasing business called for a larger
and better store room. We congrat-
late Millen upon haying so enter
prising a firm In its limits.
—Scherer has undoubtedly the
finest cigar in the city. Try them.
Court Proceedings.
We give a summary of the trials
at the court house this week. ^
will be seen that Jesse Gotier was
found guilty of murder and will be
hung on the 9th of July. The sen
tence calls for a private hanging, so
the sensational sightseer might as
well remain at home. Mat Jack-
sou was found guilty of murder, but
a recommendation to mercy sends
him to the penitentiary for life.
James Cain was tried for murder,
but escaped as the public thinks by
the very skin of his teeth. A biind
tiger, by the name of Newton plead
guilty to a violation of the prohibi
tion law, and was sentenced to pay
$350. There was some talk of fight
ing the action of the grand jury on
the ground that some three mem
bers of the body were not according
to the strict construction of the law
citizens of the county. The matter
has not yet been brought up before
the judge tor his decision:

Girard Items.
Correspondence Citizen.
Girard, Ga., June 10.—We are
haying fine seasons, and the corn
and cotton are running a race.
Mr. William Brigham has cotton
half leg high, which has forms.
Mr. S. H. Buxton has corn as high
as a man’s head, and the finest
peaches in the country.
Mrs. Howard Royal and Mr. H.
O. Odom, of Augusta, are visiting
relatives among us this week.
The tone ot J. B. Heath’s article,
in your last issue, is so perverted
that our sense of decency forbids
our stooping to reply. Our three
letters are before the people,
and we stand flat-footed on our
same platform and emphatically
reiterate all we have said, But •d
he asked for information, here it is.
We did see Dr. Brigham and Mr.
Heath, at Bethany, and asked them
to call the board together, we then
wished to apply for the school. Before
the board met we decided not to ap
ply. When they met, Mr. Heath
wrote us that they were ready to
hear any statement that we wished
to make. His note for evidence.—
We appeared before them simply
to make a statement concerning
the trouble in the school, and what
we had written, and not to ask for
the school. We distinctly said to
them that we “did not know wheth
er we wanted toapply for theschool
or not.” The president of the board
is our witness for this. After sig
nifying that we would keep the
school, if asked to do so, we did ask
them to decide at once. After their
adjournment, Dr. Brigham told us
that while a change had been deci
ded on, they had hardly known
what action to take, as they were
not sure that we had intended to
make a direct application, and we
told him then and there that we
had not so intended. The president
for testimony. Before we came
here, we sent to the board just such
an application as we this time de
livered in person; the only differ
ence being that one was sent and
the other carried, and we were then
informed that it was too indefinite
to be acted upon. Messrs.Heath and
Brigham for evidence. This time
it suited their convenience to con
sider it differently. They perhaps
thought they had grounds for act
ing, but we have produced evidence
enough to justify us in repeating
that we did not ask for the school.
If we applied directly, their min
utes should snow it, and a record of
the action taken upon it. Those
children who do not respect, us have
been taught it at home, and they
do not respect even their parents.
We do not know what he means by
his “vulgar and damnable sensa
tion.” He says it is not anything
we have done during our time here.
As for anything else, we can resort
to the law of the land for redress.
At any rate, we are willing to put
our character to an equal test with
Mr. Heath’s before his own people.
We have done. R. E. L. F.

pleased with the interest manifest
ed, and is better pleased with his
reception. He thinks well of the
people of this yillage.
Lightning struck a large black-
gum tree near Mr. Jno. A. Rhodes’
mill last Monday. The tree was
torn into splinters and Mr. F. W.
Harris and Sandy Williams, col.,

Bowman, Ga., May 10th, 18S8.
Dr. W. M. Pitts, Thomson, Ga.—
Dear Sir—I can cheerfully testify
as to the intrinsic merit of your
Carminative. In the latter part of
the spring our little girl, in the
process of teething, was suffering
from cholera infantum, and was fast
becoming a mere skeleton, when
fortunately my attention was called
to the curative properties of your
Carmiuative. After using a few
doses, she commenced to improve,
resting sweetly at'night, and soon
regained her natural bloom of
sweetness. You are at liberty to
use my humble testimonial as you
think best. Trusting that God’s
blessings may rest upon your labors
in disseminating your Carminative
to the alleviation of the troubles
consequent to teething children. I
am gratefully and respectfully
yours, Jno. L. Nance.

A Pleasant Surprise.
Messrs. Editors: The parsonage
at Girard, on Tuesday, June Ilth,
the birthday of the pastor, was the
scene of a pleasant affair. At the
suggestion of Mrs. J. W. Denning-
ton, the children had gotten up a
quilt and they came to the parson
age to quilt and donate it. About 7
o’clock,a. m.,they began to pour in on
us with hams, pies, cakes and other
nice things too numerous to mention.
I had heard of house warmings,
&c., but had never seen one on
so large a scale. I soon took in the
situation, and told them I would
surender. About a dozen families
were represented. Some that could
not come, did the next best thing,
they sent. We accepted these things
as tokens of the love they have for
the pastor aud his ’family. May
God bless them all and help me to
faithful. J. S. L.
