Those Exercises—Our Row Post Master, Etc. My Dear Mo.—Well I was sor ry lust night you were not around at the caning of Rev. Mr. C. Rut upon inquiry, as to your wherea bouts, I was informed that you were usually in bed at 7 1-2 o’clock. Me. you ought to havo had a sten ographer thtfro to take down my speech. I made somo very good points. 1 cfulic very near getting caned the (jfher night myself by my affect iomite ivife. I eamo liome the other night at a late hour, and found the front door locked. I eo' - eluded 1 would slide up the win dow and slip in. Mrs. Franklin made out she thought 1 was a bur glar and the lirst thing J know she was making for me wi.h an old grizzly hickory-fire stick. It was by no means a gold headed ebony. You ought to have heard mo giv ing the countersign and you ought to have heard the lecture that fol lowed. She did’ut deal in many high flown rhetorical phrases, but a good many figures of sp, oeh. There was several of that crowd there last night, that wanted to ho in Brother C’s place. Well may be our timo will come around after a while Me. to be presented with ‘a rope if not’ a stick. Did you know we were having the nienshs in our fumily, and they arc neither tho french, black, nor little red variety, but knowwas tho Toombs- boro measles. They arc imported. Expecting tho mumps every day. Wnats become of the Health com mittee? Me I don’t believe this city dog law is constitutional, 1 wish you would write nil editorial on this new departure* Have you heard anything of our new Post master recently. We’ll havo n merry time when ho begins to han dle tho nihil. I’ll bet ho semis letters directed to Warlhen by the way of Liverpool. Wo suppose lie luisnot the remotest idea where Lickskillet er Panhandle are situated. Home folks arc grieving and lamenting mightily over bhipton’s world ending proph esy, but as for my part, 1 think we are getting in ship shape lor that big blaze./* Me I havo tho greatest respect for tho Bundursvillu & T. R. It. It is managed by the clev erest sort of officials. They have •the cleverest Conductor in Ga. But there is one tiling they are be hind the times in. Every R. It. in Ga. and some even in Florida have given we Legislators free passes for the whole year. But you bet GEORGIA, Washington Co. get on our own county li. R. and we have to shell out a quarter. 1 think it is only necessary to re mind them of this fact. We shall see.’’ I dont’ believo our names were mentioned by the Grand Jury presentments. This is as it should he. Yours, Randall Franklin. Bandei’sville, March ii, ’Hi. NOT QUITE REPUBLICAN.

Sarah Duggan, sister to the v.ncrable Asa Duggan lute deceased, was born in Edgefield, North Carolina, February 14, 1801, inariiod at the age of 24 years to Vmcent Tanner, joined Sisters Baptist church about 1835, baptised at Brantley’s old mill and died at her residence near S indersvillc January 2d, 1881. During her latter years she could not meet nt the House ot God from Provi-p. dential causes. A pleasure missed up- S reciated alone by those who have seen er countenance glow as she related some reminiscence of joy and bappine. i, experienced at the church. On the 27tli day of August, 1770 she was stricken by paralysis and for four years and four months she was confined to her one of To the Grand Jury of the Superior Court of Washington County ; sebet- vd, chosen -.and sworn for the first week of the March Term, 1881 .* Gentlemen :—Tho under, igned com niittoo, appointed by the last Grand Jury to examine into the financial condition of tho county, and tho books, account:, nud vouchers of tho officers of the coun ty, take, pleasure in submitting to you the following report : We find all the books of the several officers of the couuty neatly and cor rectly kept, nud all tilings appertaining to tluir respective positions in good or der, A careful examination of tho books of the Ordinary show that there was ex pended during the last ten mouths : For support of paupers $2490 25 For purchase of land for homo for t lie pour 1402 02 >'or building, provisioning, and furnishing poor house Amount paid Coroner Amount p ad for lunatics For priming For Court expenses rialary of Ordinary id out on roads Tins balance includes the tax c rec tor’s commission, Errors in Digest, In solvent tax li-4, etc., etc., and Mime tax es which will lie collected by the officers wiio have, in hand the executions wlii*h have, been levied ; also the Dixon tax, which cannot he collected it being paid in Hancock c lunty. Tho Errors in l)i- ;ost are numerous nud are generally caused by parties giving in for others a practice which should be stopped, it being contrary to the spirit of tho law, although it has been the custom, nud is often the cause of much trouble. Our able and efficient Ordinary hm bis office in in excellent order, and it it a model of neatness, system pervading every portion.
