In looking over soma old justice of the peace dockets filed away in the Clerks office of this county, we find the following epistle which is addressed to the grand jury by a retiring officer, whom we will designate as Peter Joues. It is an interesting document to us, and we give it to you as it stands on the docket, word for word: To the grand jury, March term Superior Court. Hear ends the labors of Peter Jones as Justice of the Peace for the last four years last past, and though imperfectly done yet honestly done. I would not after looking back change one decision that has been made, but regret my incompetency, and now after having tried it four years, am fully satisfied that the com pensation allowed justices by law is not sufficient to pay for time lost (with nothing for labor done) and earnestly reccommend your honorable body, to take notice of them and their pay in your next general presentments. Tljerse is a very useful office, their duties are indispsnsible and there pay is the most meager and inadiquite of auy of all our public servants. Respectfully yours, Peter Jones of choice no longer J. P. ' The docket is duly approved at the March Term 1877 of Madi son Supeeior Court. FOUR BIG SUCCESSES.

Meadow I The Muster Roll |)F MADISON GREYS CALLS FORTH A FEELIING LET TER FROM REV. DR. CLEVELAND. ; Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 28th ’96. Mr. Editor —Dear Sir: Your taper of Jan. 24th. came in my nail this morning. The rain is leating on the windows aitd as I 00k out upon the dreariness of lbe day, I begin to muse “and musitig Lhe fi“vLurnß for I Id we will not tlu! ,1 productioi jt, JuTH I I seemed to call the roll of 140 ssen,-sons,- brothers, husbands, lathers and* sweethearts of so Jaany who saw them leave home; ,'randfathers of so many who have never sepn them yet. Out of the -.umber two-thirds did not answer the call. Some are reported as hist ami unaccounted for. Several '.ied at home on furlough. A number returned as survivors and nave since died. Some died in hospitals and some upon the field. •How many hopes went out when Uißse. men died! How many wid owed hearts are made! I'nfh.e tears come to my eyes as 1 lead the names, many of them so familiar to me as names of men I knew and loved in old Madison— fSloocTkin of the men I did not know. .How can any true man go pack on the dead heroes, their Swiddfre and their children. t I don’t sse Lee Bird’s name in Fihe list. He belonged, I suppose [Lo another company. I paid my jlSpsi' tax as a citizen to him. I ypr;;ached his funeral soon aftor l Bpteßt to the county. Noble fellow ptid a good Christian citizen, ft. And John McCurdy’s name is ytiot there. He too, no doubt, was fm-another company. Like Lee WfcJraf he also loat a leg,, and both jive'nt limping to their graves. IBrave John McCurdy! If anyone pays yes, he had his faults, I say jyes, but he had his virtues. I got .near to his heart. I have heard him pray. I have seen many a time the large tears roll out of his large eyes, as they are now rolling out of mine, and if he has not gone where the rude alarms of war will never reach him, of whom then around you can you hope? And very recently my dear friend Ed Sanders has gone to meet the boys on the other side under the shade of the trees, never more to endure the summers heat and winters cold, the fatigues of the march, the loneliness of the picket, or the dangers of the bat tlefield. Noble men, these, whose j names are mentioned and the | many more who could be. i Oh! if I could have felt when a resident of the county, as I have felt since I haye been here and connected with the Fulton County Association, [and as its Chaplain for four years, how much nearer could I have got to some men who yet live and to some who are gone. There ia a feeling which one Confederate soldier has for anoth er Confederate soldier which is pe culiar. Nothing has ever been like or ever will be like it, I trow. If I was a & s< "' 1 *. OT ,/your coun ty to-day, I to find ev ery true Conf<3*npwJe soldier and talk with.him’ the past, the present and the future. If any of them read this, let me earnest ly beg them to ask God to give them the moral courage to seek Jesus, enlist under His flag as the Great Captian of the souls salva tion, to listen to-day to his loving orders— Attention ! About face! Forward March— So that when life’s warfare ends it may at last ba the “good fight of faith” and the reward of the crown of Life. P May the God of the living and the dead richly bless these brave men who yet live, arid the widows and children of those who have fought their last battle. T. P. Clevkland. NOTICE.

I have two shoulders of meat in my smoke house and enough clothes to last six weeks. We’ve got to go back to head quarters —home—to find out the trouble. Home ought to be the brightest, happiest and cheeriest pla e under the sun on the face of the earth. Every man shows what he think of wife and children by the kind of home he puts them in. A man whose home is always out of whack, the blinds down and the door off the hinges, the steps rotten—that shows character. The husband shows his character by the exterior. I don’t see why some men can’t keep pious on what they can gat three times a day. Spurgeon in cludes all human miseries undw; ‘dirt, devil and debt.’ I have been in houses where they had 2,600 worth of silver and fifteen cents worth of grub. I would like to be able to digest silver,but can’t. I like girls that can play on the stove as well as the piano. Many a man has been sent to a drunkard’s grave by what lias been given him to eat by his wife. You give him a biscuit that would knock down a yearling and he has got to have something else before night.

B. WHITE. rvrova bjnr EDYV. McGOWAN, Business Manaser, Ft, Lamar, A COLUMN OF INTKRKITIN Q news from the OLD FORT. M iss Flora Hutcherson, spent last week among relatives and friend* at Bold Springs. Mr. W. F. Wilder has been Buf fering excruciating pain with a sore hand for the last two weeks. j Mr. Willis Stephen happened to . the misfortune of loosing a good I milch cow several days ago. Mr. J. M. Hutcherson went to Danielsvillo last Saturday, on bus iness. Miss Addie Freeman attended church at Mt. Hermon la*t Sun day; accompanied by Mr. W. S. Wilder. Mr. Call is Brown is very much troubled about a dream that ha had a few nights ago. It was a strange dream indeed, and would doubt less make the most of us feel un easy. We learn that Mr. W. A. Tabor is talking of moving to Athene. We regret very much for such a good citizen to leave our communi ty. He will be greatly missed by all, and most especially by the church. While we regret to loose such a good Christian gentleman as Mr. Tabor we wish him much prosperity and hope that all his undertakings may be crowned with success. A certain young man in Ft. La mar is color-blind. There is only one color that he can distinguish aud that is Brown. IN SCHOOL. Throwing knives is very popular among the school boys. Several of the school boys saw a peculiar varmint not far from* the school grounds,several days ago and have been on the alsrt ever since. They are determined to capture it if possible. The recitations by the school girls last Friday evening was beautiful indeed, but the spaeches by the boys, we are oblige to say, surpassed anything that was done by the girls. The girls can down the boys in a spelling match, but when speaking day comes the the girls get left. While we have young oraters in school, we also hare youpg poets and who knows but somb day Ft. Lamar may have a Patrick Henry or a Henry Grady; and perhaps she mav produce a Tennyson or a Shaxespeare. Who can tell? Liberty High school is on a boom. It numbers upward of sixty pupils. Ft Lamar can boast of the beet school in the country. The Jpcople should feel proud that they have secured the services of such an able teacher as Prof. Mellurry. Ha is a graduate from Dahlonega and better qualified teacher is hard to find. And the bright children of this community whose minds and , hearts are all aflame with eager yearning for pearls of truth and wisdom have learned to love and and respect him. Lotus cooperate, and talk and work for the school. Miss Octie Pittman, the accom plished assistant, performs her part with great care and accuracy. The young people of this com munity have been talkingof organ izing a Literary Pociety. There is nothing that rs more interesting than a good Literary Club; not only interesting but it is very instructive. We hope soon to note the organisation of a Literary Society at Liberty Academy.
