FITZGERALD, IRWIN COUNTY, GEORGIA, NOVEMBER 11, 1897.D A Maine young man kissed a pretty girl and caught the measles. He should now have no difficulty in catch- ing the girl. An unmarried man’s opinion of pretty clothes for women is better than a married man’s, because he is not biased by bills. In searching for twelve men in Cook county who have not formed an opinion as to Luetgert’s guilt the may come across the missing woman. The life of Lily Langtry, “ The Jersey Lily,” reads like fiction. “Men are born to be slaves” was her motto, and while her husband was dying in a lunatic asylum she was winning money on a horse race. They say money is so plentiful in Kansas creditors are running away from it, and “ farmers are forcing them to accept pay at the point of a pistol.” pol¬ Now, that’s the kind of shot-gun icy which we heartily approve. A young man in Germany kissed his sweetheart 3,750 times in 2 hours, 48 minutes and 10 seconds. Whert he finished his lips were paralyzed and he swooned. The girl died, but the doc¬ tors say that the man will recover. In order to stop the practice of flirt¬ ing with commercial travelers, an Ohio village council has decree^ that no girl shall be allowed to loiter in the vicinity of the railroad station unless she can produce a railroad ticket. Recently a Hollmau locomotive covered a mile in 32 seconds, thus traveling at the rate of 128 miles an hour. It will be only a few years be¬ fore the schedule time on railroads in the North will be two miles perminute. There is said to be a ghost at Grave¬ send, England, that throws invade its coal at every one who tries to quar¬ ters in the attic of an old house. Of course such a thing would be impos¬ sible in this country. The coal trust would secure an injunction, or else shove up the price until it forced the ghost into bankruptcy. Every lover of sport and friend the toothsome possum will thank Rep¬ resentative McCook, of Chattahoochee county, for the passage a day or two ago of a bill for the protection of beast, The bill prevents tlie or catching of possums in this between March 1st and October 1st, and went through the house by a vote of 10!) yeas to 0. A girl in St. Paul sued a man for kissing her against her will and re¬ covered twenty-five dollars damages, but in a Canada suit of the same na¬ ture the verdict was only twenty cents. If that is the market price of Canada kisses, the American girls along the borders should have a high tariff duty placed on the British article.—Mont¬ gomery Advertiser. The American people were not given an opportunity that to semi-barbarous say whether they desired the popu¬ lation of Hawaii should be received into the body politic as American cit¬ izens and given the right to vote. It was not intended that the American people should have any say in the matter, for the reason ihat the sugar trust demands the annexation of the Hawaiian islands so that the value of its property would appreciate and from its raw materials be forever exempt tariff duties._ The proposition of the Bank of En¬ gland to hold a part of its reserve in silver has met with such violent oppo¬ sition that it is believed no more will he heard of it, and McKinley will have carried out his international monetary farce to the letter of the most corrupt platform of the most corrupt party that ever existed. The London Times is authority for the statement that American manufacturers have ex¬ pressed their disapproval, urging that “ it was to some extent a confession of the advisability of what Mr. Bryan has clai med.” _ The sanitary authorities of Paris have induced the prefect of police barbers, to issue stringent instructions to informing them that all metal instru¬ ments must he plunged directly after use into boiling, soapy water. All combs of tortoiseshell, ivory, cellu¬ loid must be replaced as far as easily possi¬ ble by metal, so as to be more cleansed and disenfected. Scissors, razors, clippers and brushes must be kept in a stove and heated to 100 de¬ grees centigrade, or in a recepticle containing a prescribed chemical so¬ lution, before use. Shaving brushes must be dipped in boiling water. In¬ stead of powder puffs blowers must be used. Finally, hair-dressers must wash their hands before passing to an¬ other customer. The House has passed Georgia. a bill pro¬ hibiting foot ball in I General Presentments. We, the grand jurors, sworn to servo during- the present term of Irwin superior court, beg- leave to submit the following- g-eneral present¬ ments: PUBLIC ItOADS. We find some of our public roads in fair con¬ dition, others in bad condition. We request that road commissioners have all roads put in good condition at 911 cc, PUBLtC mubciES. The public bridges are in good shape except bridge across Hat creek on Irwinvillo and Al¬ bany Columbus road; also bridge across Big creek Factory on road; also bridge across creek, near Irwinvillo: also bridge between the residence of W. F. Paulk and Daniel Pur¬ vis. We call the attention of commissioner of roads and revenues to these bridges, and sug¬ gest that the}' have proper repairs made. JURORS AND BAILIFFS. Wo recommend that jurors and bailiffs bo paid $2 per day, mounted bailiffs, for night ser¬ vice, the rate of $3 per day for the ensuing year. PAUPERS. We recommend that Thomas Cleatman and Mrs Mollie Copeland be placed upon pauper list. The allowance of former be $3 per month, that of the latter $7 per month. PENSION LIST.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS. We find the foundation of jail in bad condi¬ tion and recommend that county commission¬ er have the same repaired. We also suggest that the stockade be cleared off at once, and that stock be kept out of en¬ closure. We request our commissioner to in¬ sure all public buildings against damage by fire, and that he buj r suffieient blankets for jail. COUNTY SOLICITOR. We recommend that James B. Clements, county all judge, appoint Col. Tom Eason to pros¬ ecute cases in county court, and we earn¬ estly ask that he attend each term of said court., REPORT OF TAX COLLECTOR. We have been furnished with a report from lax'collector of amount of specific tax col¬ lected by him, which we adopt as a part of out¬ general presentments. ACCOUNT OF COMMISSIONER OF ROADS AND REVENUE. We have examined account of M. Hender¬ son, commissioner of roads and revenues, for transacting county business from April to September, inclusive, he amounting to $3uo, and we recommend that draw his warrant unon county treasurer for said amount. ACCOUNT OF SHERIFF. We have examined the account of R. V. Handley, sheriff, for summoning 126 witnesses before the grand jury, amounting to $63, which we recommend be paid. BOOK COMMITTEE. On account of the large amount of business before our body it has been impossible for us to examine the books of the various county officers, and make report at this term, we therefore recommend and appoint J. Y. Paulk. Geo. W. Fletcher and L. D. Taylor as a com¬ mittee to examine the books of county officers for the present year and report to spring term of grand jury of said books, and that they be paid $2 per day for their services. We find ex-treasurer has not made a final settlement with present county treasurer, and we recommend that he make final settlement at an early date. REPORT OF TAX COLLECTOR. To the Hou.
