Mr. Editor:—Tbe closing exercise* of Grantvllle High School began last Tburwia.v evening, June 16tb, with recitations,dialogue* and music, prin cipally bv the smaller pupils of the acboof. To say that ea>:h pupil did well, is putting it mildlythey could not have been excelled Tbe follow ing was the programme for Thursday evening: PROGRAMME. “Magic Spell Sehnttisb”—Annie Camp, Loudie O'Kelly, Jennie Col- linswortli. Lillie 0 Kelly. “Burial of Sir John Moorc”»—J. W. Arnold, Jr. Dialogue—Nellie Collinsworth and Ernest Biwant. “The Little Boy's Valentine”— Daniel Jacob*. “Three Little Mushrooms”—Jen nie Arnold, Lizzie Carter, Blanche Lambert. “The Boys we Need”—Lamar Stsflord. “Who Made the Speech ?”—Rowena Jacobs. “Caroline,” (song.)—Lizzie Sims and Class. “Less than Cost"—Bennie Carter. “Afternoon Calls"—Cora Carter and Mattie Collinsworth.

Bradley, Jr., Loudie O’Kelly. W. G. Post- It would be an injustice to mention the name of one without all;—I could not soy tbut ibis one did extremely weH without giving some verdict to each one whose name appears on tbe programme, for they could not have beeu excelled anywhere, by anybody’s childreu, and if anything better eould be said on their behalf, why, put it in, for they deserve it. The dialogue, “Book Agent,” was well rendered by some of tbe larger pupils. The author of the piece had certainly learned from experience some of the wiles of the irrepressible hook agent. The Operetta—“Tbe Laud of Nod”— was well executed, but was rather lengthy for the little “Dteatn Sprites,” who, unde* - the soft strains of music and song, soon reached the “Land of Nod" in reality. The evening passed away almost be fore we knew it, so interesting was the entertainment. The audience evi dent d their appreciation by frequent applause and the best of order. Friday morning at 8:30 o’clock the exercises were resumed, opening with prayer by Dr. H. S. Bradley, pastor of tbe Methodist, church here. Prof. Leigh asked Col. H - . A. Hall and Profs. Culpepper and Nall to act as a committee to award the prizes, all of whom accepted the position. To the first and second classes asilver medal, each, and to tbe third and fourth a gold medal, each, were ottered by Prof. Leigh to the successful contestants. The following was the' PROGRAMME. 1-KI7.E DKCLAMATION AND RECITATIONS. “Heidelberg”—C.C. Converse, IoDe Camp, Lizzie Sims, Annie Camp, Bailie M.

Each speaker was applauded by the audience heartily, and every one de served a prize. I say it, boastingly, for Grantvllle High School, teachers and pupils, that it was tbe verdict of judges that Thursday morning’s exer cises could not be surpassed by any school in Georgia, colleges thrown in. It was good to be there. It was a feact not fully anticipated. As the lsst strains of “Clayton’s Grand March” died away, Prof. Leigh announced that be hail received a telegram from Rev. J. W. Lee, D. D., of Atlanta, stating that he could not tie present as advertised, but the Pro fessor congratulated the audience and himself that by good fortune he was “enabled to substitute fo: Dr. Lee the silver-tongued you ug orator of West ern Georgia. Col. Hewlette A. Hall, of Newuan," who pnceededat once to deliver a speech full of thought, re search, and at times grandly eloquent. He held the closest attention of the audience throughout his admirable address. Many expressions of admi ration were freely indulged by his hearers. His theme was “Ettort,” and right well did he handle it. “Grand Concert and Exhibi tion*'came ofl Friday, at 8:30 p.m. The Academy was filled to overflow ing at an early hour, aud everybody ■earned to be on the tip-toe of expec tancy, and well they might. From the previous exercises, aud from the material “down on the boards,” they could not do otherwise than expect something good and ibey were not Dialogue—“Georgia Cracker Still Ahead”—Moreland Zellars, Bennie | •Camp, Ham Banks.

H. A. Hal|, of Newnsn. “O’er BlisimiDg Meadows” was well rendered by the three young musi cians. The “Georgia Cracker Still Ahead.” though very short, shook the roof, and put the audience all in good humar. The "Fan Drill” was most excel lently rendered by a large class of girl*—Miss Jennie Collinsworth, com mander. “Too Greedy by Half.” was good. H. 8. Bradley Jr., is a fine toothdoe- tor, as evidenced oy his skillful work upon bis patient in this case. His able assistant, W. B. Smith, showed a perfect willingueas to help pull the patient’s head ofl to stop the aching of the tooth. J. B. Simms, tbe pa- tieut, became verv impatient while the demist delayed bis work to run his fee to five dollars, and expressed himself in pretty strong language to the doctor, as if money was of any value to a man suffering tortures with toothache. “Jumbo-Jum.” By Jum! But wusn’i it fullof good things! In'bis, J. B. Simms exhibited rare skill as au amateur delineator of negro character. Ilia acting was simply auperb for that character. Everyone of tbe players seemed to enter iuto the spirit of the play and put all their energies forward m au endeavor to do their best. “Getting a Photograph” was re peated, by request, aud afforded more merriment, if possible, than on tbe preceding night. “That Rascal Pat,” like “Jumbo- Jum,” kept the audience in a roar of laughter trom beginning to end. H. S. Bradley, Jr., as “Pa»,” found him self in many unpleasant positions in his vain endeavor to serve two mas ters. He was well supported by each of the players. All did well. After the rendition of "Lacarricala” by Misses Collinsworth and O'Kelly, Col. H. A. Hall, in ins inimitable way, preseuted the medals,to the suc cessful contestants in declamation and recitation. He endeavored to pacify those wiio lost, but it was a mammoth undertaking. In the first class the prize was awarded to Ellen Zellars; second class, to Sam Banks; third class—well, the committee could not agree—tied; and wanted two of that class, H. S. Brad ley, Jr., aud W. G. Post, to draw straws to decide it. But Prof. Leigh, showing that liberality for which he is noted, put an end to the straw drawing business aud broke tbe tie by giving both a medal. Iu the fourth ■-lass the prize was awarded to Annie Camp. Now we draw the curtain, for va cation is here. "NOTES ON THE SITUATION.” The exercises of the school were de cidedly far ahead of any for many years, aud were never surpassed. Many visitors were here on Friday from many points. They came from Fairburn, Palmetto, Newnan, Lutb- trsville, Corinth and Hogansville. Mr. 8. W. Mutiny wore a broad smile on tbe frovl seat; but bow could he help it while surrounded by such a bevy of p etty girls? How can it be possible for a com mittee of three to tie as to tbe respec tive merits of two contestants? Miss Sail'e Cotter left for Senoia on Monday morning. May her vacation be as pleasant as it is merited. The patrons, teachers and pupils of the school are to be congratulated up on the successful termination of the spring term of Grantviile High School. May the fall term open with still brighter prospects. The people have never heretofore shown so much iuterest in the school, but the medalic part of the exercises were danger.ius. Let those who bad prizes awarded them take not unto themselves too much glory and boasting, for many have disagreed as to who were enti tled to the prizes, so closely and well did their competitors press them.

Each seemed ui enter into the spirit of her piece and alt won goldeu opinions fiom the au dience. The young meu’s spe*ches were carefully selected aud gracefully delivered. Misses AnDie aud Emmie Hindsman, of Lulhersville, read orig inal comp sitious. These two young ladies received certificates of scholar ship from Prof. Pendergrast. The crowning feature of the day was the address by H A. Hall, Esq., of Newnan. His subject was "Fidelity to Trust.” Mr. Hall han dled his theme In a masterly manner aud proved nut only that he possessed no ordinary degree of talent, but that be had been a close student. His speech was replete with excellent thoughts and was quite encouraging to those young people who are ambi tious io excel. Palmetto was pleased w ith Mr. Hall, aud we hope to hear him again. He is a finished orator and has a brilliant future before him. Tuesday evening Mrs. Wiley’s mu sic class gave a most enjoyable con cert. "A Natural Spell” was the most amusing feature of the evening. Altogether, tbe commencemeLt, from beginning to end, was a brilliant success, aDd our people are justly proud of it. Prof. Pendergrast has given entire satisfaction to his patrons. The school has been full the whole year aud closed with more than one hundred pupils. The fall term begins ihe second Wednesday in September. Tbe attendance at that time will prob ablv be from 125to 140. Prof. LeRo-eu and Miss Elia Harrell have ably as sisted Pr f. Pe .dergrast ihis year. It is to be hoped that he will secure their services for the fall term. Many visitors are, aud have been, in Pal metto this week. Nemo. June 23d. Palmetto High School. Mr. Editor:—This has been a gala week io Palmetto, and our people have enjoyed a rare liter ary feast. The commencement ex ercises of Palmetto High School, under the efficient management of Prof. Jno. E. Pendergrast, clos ed Tuesday night. Rev. W. C. McCall, of Atlanta, preached the an nual sermon on Sunday to a large and attentive congregation. Text—(Col., 2: 3.) "In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge?” Monday was toe little folks day. So many were they and so well did all act their parts, that to personate one would be injustice to the others. Want of space forbids personal men tion of all. Monday evening the young meu’s debating society discuss ed the question—“Resolved, That the steam engine has been, and is now, more beneficial to man than the pri nti ng press.’ The debate was spir ited and all the boys gave evidence of careful study and thorough training. Rev. R. C. Rhodes. Dr. W. A. Zellars and C. S Reid, Esq., were tbe judges. The race was very cloee, but the judges decided in favor of the afflrn a- tive. This debating society has been of incalculable advantage to the school boys, and they have improved great ly'during the year. The following programme was gone though with on Tues Jay: PROGRAMME. Music—(Transcription) “Old Black Joe”—Will Dean.

Mr. Editor:—I would be much pleased to give (lie readers of The Herald and Advertiser tbe lull programme of the closing exercises of Senoia High School, which embraced the 19lh, 2l)ih aud 21st iust., but owing to my limited space I will undertake to give only a brief synopsis. Sunday morning a large congrega tion assembled at tbe Methodist church to hear the commencement sermon, which was preached by Rev. W. R. Foote, of Newnan. It is impossible, in a report such as this, to give au ad equate idea of Mr. Footes brilliant aud eloquent sermon. Suffice It to say that no discourse on any similar occasion h: s ever beeu more enjoyed byourpenple. He also preached a fine sermon Sunday night. Monday was devoted to the exami nation of classes in the Primary aud High school departments. Tbe pupil* exhibited a degree of proficiency that did credit both to themselves and to their teachers. Monday night an exhibition was given by the Primary department, conducted by Miss Blanche Brown. The little fellows all did well and showed the excellency of their train ing. Tbe exhibition was prououuced a perfect success by tveryone pres ent. Tuesday morning was devoted to speaking, recitations and readings by tbe pupils of the High School de partment, aud each participant de serves a special compliment for the part be orsiie took in the exercises. At 11 o’clock the Literary Address was delivered by Col. Luther M. Far mer, of your city, which was highly appreciated. It was happily conceiv ed aud eloquenlly delivered. Tuesday night an entertainment was given by the pupils of tbe High School department and the pro gramme was carried through without a bobble. Every one present seemed highly pleased with Ihe exercises. The drama entitled “Our Bread and Water,” especially, was well received. The music for the occasion was fur nished by Miss Jennie E. Arnall’s music class, and I do not need to add that it was as good as could have been rendered by amateurs. Taken all in all, it was one of the most successful events of the kind ever eujoyed in Senoia or any other town. jy Rev. W. R. Foote, of your city, and seemed to be much enjoyed by the l.i • _-e aud ienee present. The exercises ot the school will close today, (Tues day.) We have been unable toattend, but from those who have it ia safe to say that rrof. Brown, assisted by his accomplished daughter. Miss Blanche, well sustain their reputation as first- class educators. We were shown some days ago, by a miuister of the gospel, what was (we suppose) intended to be a sort of poetical production for this minister’s special benefit. To say that the piece was simply outrageous, ridiculous, aould be slating it mildly. We can only say that no well-bred gentleman ever indulges lu fully of that kind. It was mailed at Turin. J. D. Bra -sell has closed ont his con fectionery establishment and expects u> go West aud engage in telegraphy —bis choseu profession. Mr. W. C. Davis closed out his mer cantile interests here last week. These changes need not be taken as evi dences of any general financial depres sion. It was simply the inevitable in a small way. VINCENT. June 21st. Luthersville. Mr. Editor:—Tbe infant child of Mrs. Sewell died last Sunday morn ing. The remains were placed beside those of its father, who was buried one week ago. Rev. Dr. Bradley, filled his regular appointment at the Methodist Church m-re last Saturday and Sunday. Miss Anuie Wilson, who has just graduated at the LaGrange Female College, returned home last Friday. Mr. John F. Hendrix, formerly of your couuty but now of Gainesville, spent several days in our town last week. Miss Effie Reeves, after a pleasant sojourn iu our community, returned to her home in Greenville on Sunday last, accompanied by Miss Loretta Hi ues. Capt. R. S. McFarland, of La Grunge, spent Sunday in this place. Dr. W. E. Hines went to Green ville last Sunday. Col. R. R. Nall, of Savannah, was here on legal business yesterday. It is expected that he will locate here, and we shall be glad to Welcome him. He is a brilliant lawyer. Rev. Dr. Cousins filled his appoint meut at Autioch last Saturday aud Sunday. The annual singing at Rocky Mount on the Fourth of July will not. be held this year, on account, of tbe prevalence of measles. Eudo.

And should we do it, will therefore, to give him up was a sore they not conclude, and rlghriy, too, trial. But we have abundant reason that all who do not sign said petitions to believe that Jesus loves just such are opposed to the an • id ment we sweet little children as he, aud will j ask? Therefore, if yon favor this give him a home in “that house not [ movement signify the same by signing made with hands, eternal in the ! one of said petitions. Do not conclude heavens." We would console tbe be- ; that your course heretofore has been reaved ones with the truth that, al- : such that our Representatives know though little Aivan cannot come back i you favor tbe amendment. If y our to them, yet though they live for years, ! name does not appear on the petition bye-and-bye they may go to him. The I they will naturally suppose that you di funeral services were conducted by Rev. F. J. Amis, at Elim, after which the remains were consigned to the grave. Mrs. Cavender and Anna were too ill to attend tbe funeral. In behalf of the community we tender sincere sympathy to the bereaved. Several colored people have died with dysentery iD this neighborhood recently, aud the disease still prevails. Up to date (Wednesday) our imme diate settlement is very dry. In the vicioityof Enoo Grove there was a good season Monday between 1 and 2 o’clock, accompanied by considerable wind and hail. Iu the neighborhood of Hollingsworth’s ferry on Tuesday evening there was rain, also, with wind and hail. Rev. F. J. Amis opened his school at Elim Academy last Monday, but I am not informed as to tbe prospect*. As a matter of curiosity I will state that Mr. John Payton, who keeps Mr. Hutcbinron’s mill on Panther Creek, has a kitten with four eyes and two mouths. Tbe kitten was alive wbeu my informant saw it, and he is a re liable gentleman. Vanpelt. June 22d. Powellville. Mr. Editor:—We are glad to see the much-needed showers passing arouud again, though we have not receivea our proportion as yet. Crops are still growing, and have been well worked. Dou’i think I ever saw them cleaner or in betur condition. Everybody is at home and at work, and but little news can be obtained this week. Miss Katie Kershaw, of Atlanta, is visiting the family of Mr. John T. Brown. Miss Witt Moseley and the Misses Palmer visited Mr. Jacob Hearn’s family in Powellville last week. Dr. F. T.

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS. Senoia. Mr. Editor:—Vegetation is suffering in our section very much for want of rain. Gardens are badly damaged and upland corn is beginning to suffer. The corn and cotton crops, up to this time, are very promising, and with good seasons now and for the next month or two these crops will be fine. We learn that Mr. Sanford Gay, who was dangerously cut about the neck and face by a negro some time ago, is improving aud will soon be well. Mr. T. N. Burdett, who had two bullets shot through bis body on the 11th of May, went June 12th some five miles to Bethel church to an all-day singing and conducted several exercis es on tbut occasion. Panther Creek. Mr. Editor:—After an arduous week's work iu the grand jury room. I returned home and found ail well. I have served on a good many grand juries, but I never have seen a jury with as much business before it as this had. When we closed there were sev eral parties waiting at the door who desired to lay some criminal matters before the body. I never served with a more agreeable set of gentleman. At this writing it is hot aud dry. While attending Court I spent a night “dth Mr. Daniel Smith, who is quite sick. Brother Dan Hearn aud myself were invited to dine with our clever Sheriff one day daring the week, and we bad a mighty good dinner. I spent one night wi'h Major Glover, also. He has one of tbe nicest places in the county aud the finest vineyard that I have seen. Miss Frances Lang is quite sick. Another of Mr. L. Mullens’ children ia very ill, i-lso. Rev. Mr. Mullens preached an in- teresiing sermon at Roscoe on Sun day la«t. The luscious blackberry takes Ihe lead in the matter of pies, and the people have tuned their stomachs to the same. It is about the only fruit we have and everybody is gathering them for canning purposes. I received quite an interesting letter from Mrs. Hubbard Moseley recently, who is now at Mineola, Tex. She says they have fiue crops, cyclones, storms, measles, roseola, dysentery, and everything else just like we do in old Georgia. It has been over.tMrty years since she moved from this coun ty to Texas, and she loves old Coweta yet. Farmers are up with their work and only waiting for rain. Grandma Jones is gradually grow ing weaker. One of tbe “Ripples" boys ca ight three turtles the other day and our folks had fried turtle for a change. The hare looks of the animal makes a mess for me. Big meetings are being mapped out for tbe summer and the people are gettiug their chickens and other good things in readiness. Are their hearts in order for the campaign ? Mr. N. F. Hyde’s little girt, Susie, is quite sick. Mr. Jesse Gurley has three cotton blooms to the stalk. A small shower of rain fell Monday night and crops are somewhat revived. One of oar young men who weut to see John Smith hung says be helped to cut him down and brought tbe rope home with him. I don’t want any such relic. Watermelon vines are dying and tbe prospect for a crop is somewhat dis couraging. Prof. W. A. Allen’s school wlU open at Macedonia tbe first Monday in Riverside. Mr. Editor:—Misses Shackleford and Gladney, of Hogansville, were visiting friends aud relatives in Cor inth last week. Mr. Shade Hogan is still quite sick. Mr. J. F. Copeland has been quite ill, though he is somewhat better at this writing. The closing exercises of Prof. Nall’s school was pronounerd a success and an exceedingly enjoyable occasion b.v tbe large crowd iu attendance; also, the concert given by Miss Rossie Hop son. The Corinth Agricultural C.ub met last Saturday. There were several ac cessions to the membership. Miss Belah Spearman, of Hogans ville, has been visiting the family of Mr. G. Y. St. John. Prof. Nall will resume the exercises of his school at Coriutb in about three weeks. The farmers of this section are about through harvesting iheir gram. We are glad to know that “Asa’s" sentiments coincide with ours. We are satisfied “Asa” and ourself would make a good team—especially in up holding a lost cause. Misses Beulah Summers, Mamie English aud Hillie King, ail of tbe Fourth district of Coweia, attended the closing exercises ot Corinth High School. Prof. Nall is spending his vacation at his home in Meriwether. Mr. Cul pepper, his assistaut, is also at home for the vacation. Corinth and Cooksville failed to re ceive The Herald and Advertiser week beforelast. What is the matter? Mrs. Nancy Brown has gone to Mer- iwtther to visit her grand-daughter, Mrs. James Hunt, nee. Miss Ruth Copeland. The members of Corinth Methodist church have changed the time of their semi-monthly prayer-meeting to 11 o’clock a. M., on the thi-d and fourth Sabbaths. R. T. South continues to holler “Gee up, Buck!” Our part of the coi nty was well rep resented at tbe hanging of John Sm.th. in Fraukiin iast Friday. Tbe respite granted by Gov. Gordon is at an end —Smith is no more—an additional ex pense has beeu added to Heard county —and, to our mind, no good lias beeu accomplished except to rid the com munity of a bad man. June 21st. Calamity Jim. An Encouraging Crop Report. Mr. Editor:—We had glorious show ers yesterday (Wednesday) afiernooD, extending from Macedonia church for a distance of three miles, including all the farms on the read dowu to Leigh Potts’. The crops are still longing well. Some patches are smartly speckled with cotton blooms, and with a continuation of tbe show- era the year 7 in this decade will turn out as magnificeut a crop as any in the recollection of the oldest farmer. Henry Clay Arnall said a month ago if the crops were good this season thot, after “layiug-by” time, the ad vanced Democracy would give a big barbecue and have a perfect ground swell of the opponents of mat abomi nable war tax—the interna] revenue law. Mr. Arnall is tbe leadei of the advanced Democracy in this county, and backed up as he is by so many strong men—myself among tbe num ber—the Carliale-Locofoco wing of the Democratic party will tremMe in its boots. Occasional. \a)i . Messrs. Hand &. Lindsay have let out the contract to Mr. G.' B. Rooks to build them a brick store-hqnse. 27 July. Prof. J. J. Reese will by 90 feet. The work of excavating j charge of the writing department, for tbe foundation is well under way, ; June 21st.

Mr. Tom Jones has bad his cradle loaned out for quite a while. Now it- is occupied a* *.ome by a 10-pound 1 boy. Mr. Ed Brantly, of Chattanooga, | Appeal for More Effective Prohibi tion. To the Citizens of Coweta county: Last winter I promised some of our people to give tbe proper notice to have Coweta’s local option law so amended as to prohibit the sale of spirituous, vin»us, malt or other in toxicating liquors in said county, in any quantity, by aDy person, save on Iy wine for sacramental purposes; and also to prepare and send out petitions for the signatures of the people, re questing such an amendment at the hands of tbe General Assembly in Ju ly next. This premia- would have been redeemed sooner but for sickness in my family since the 8th day of Feb ruary last. The notice given in the last issue of The Herald and Advertiser is general and sufficient fi r all pur poses whatever, aud hence no other is necessary. The blank petitions have been prepared and will be, if they have not already been, sent to every prominent place in the county. Should any one desire to circulate one or more for signatures be can get them by calling at my office or writing me. Now let every friend of the amend ment proposed not only sign one of these petitions, but let him urge every one else te do so. These petitions most be signed hy a large number of onr voters before we can ask, with any hope of success, that said amendment be made. Without the consent and approval of a great number of the vo ters of Coweta no legislation will be badod the subject. And why? Be cause tbe law, as it n >w stands, is of force by the vote of a majority of onr citizens; and until those who thns made the law in some such wav make it known to their Representatives that they wish the law thus changed, the' presumption is clear that they oppose tbe amendment proposed. Last win ter when onr Representatives were asked to have the law changed in cer tain particulars they acted on tbe prin ciple that aa the people voted tor the law as it is, they preferred for it to stand aa they made it nnf il the con trary waa shown, and the harden was on those seeking to have the law amended to show that tbe people at>- •v* proved the amendment. We, who opposed the changes then sought, not only felt that onr Represenatives were had an opportunity to sign it and de liberately refused to do so; and in stead of counting you as fHvoring,.will class yon with the opposition. Is a change necessary ? Let tbe pre sentments of almost every grand jury since tbe law went Into operation an swer. Let tbe books of those author ized under tb» law to sell, showing how much sickness (?) there has beeu iu our county; and how oiten and how recklessly some men swear that they are sick for the purpose of buy- iug strong drink, give the answer. What change should be made? Cer- taiuly noue will answer the purpose save that one w hich prohibits the sale altogether. It has been demonstrated in many places and ways, aud cer tainly here, that tlie sale ot the miser able stuff cannot be regulated by law. Should uot tbe sale of it be outlawed? To make an effectual disposition of the siutt we should deal with it as we would with a mad dog—“cut bis tail ofl close up behind bis ears.” Fears are entertaiued lest the amendment proposed hy the last grand jury would fall far short of accomplirbiug (he end desired. It is only one step in the right direction where there are so many more to be taken before the goal is reached. Besides, by this act, we dignify humanity’s greatest enemy and admit that it Is essential and in dispensable as a medicine when we have it dealt out by the couuty. This proposition inaity of our people deny aud will oppose. But let us see bow much we better ourselves by tbt amendment they propose. How shall the sale of it by the county be so guarded that, those only who are sick can get it? Shall tbe'applicant pre sent to the officer of the couuty em powered to sell a prescription from a physician? Pbysiciauscan be imposed upon, for they have beeD. Would it not be very embarrassing to a physi cian to refuse to give a prescription to oue of his regular paiieuts? Could he afford to be very strict about it? They would be paid for the prescrip tions and thus would profit by it, the same as those who now sell under tbe law are paid a profit on all they sell. Besides, is it not likely that tbe agent appointed by the couuty as custodian and legal vendor of tbe stuffbe inter ested in selling enough to make bis position self-sustainitigand to warraur his retention in office? It is obvious that unless he cau sell enough to pay the expenses of his office it will be abolished. Before it can be bought in Newnan the appiicaut must furnish a permit from some member of tbe Council. These C >uuciliueu, though careful, can be aud have beeu imposed upon hundreds of times. Shall we, in ad dition thereto, require the applicant to swear that he needs it as a medicine, and tnat be will uot use tbe same for any other purpose? The present law requires as much. If meu have de ceived CouuciJmen aud have sworn falsely to get it from druggists and apothecaries, will’ they not deceive physicians, and swear falsely, if, by so doing, it cau be bad from the county through her ageut? But it is urged that by this means, those who need it can get a good article for a much less price thau they have to pay for it now. We are not studying that side of the question, but only how can we ksep those from getting it who have beeu and will continue to be injured by it. Tbis is a very doubtful commenda tion. It is a sword with two edges; for, while it may cheapen and fur nishes a more palatable article to the very-few who feel that they need it as a medicine, does it not at the same time enable tbe ones who do not need it and should not have it get it for less money? Yea, more; will not the very mellowness of the article the county as a disinterested vendor will keep on hand tempt the already tempted and yielding appetites of tbs slaves of strong drink? If men will swear falsely aud by every device evade Ihe law to procure at a high price a poor article, will they not do more to get a much more delicious thing at a less price? Would we not thus unwitting ly lay an additional temptation in the way of our weak and erring brother? Let us rather take all temptation, not only to driuk hut to swear falsely, out of iiis way. This can only be d<me by procuring an amendment to tbe pres ent law which w ill prohibit the sale al together. Alvan D. Freeman. E. S.

We have examined said Farm and find twenty-five Inmates, of whom twenty-one are whites—two males and nineteen females;— and four are colored—three males and one fe male. We find tbe premises well kept and the inmates carefully provided for. We think the present Superintendent well suited for his position. JUSTICES OF THE PEACE. We find that Justices of tMe Peace and No taries Public in districts 806,647, 646,756. 992, 1383 have kept tbeir books according to law. We especially call attention to those Justices who failed to present their books. COUNTY SCHOOL COMMISSIONER.

The inside walls have been recently white washed, the floor kept clean and the building in good ord» r. We would further suggest that rliM pointing over the front verandah needs to be replaced. The Court-housa is in good condition. Since a grand jury ha • bet-n in session the County Commissioners have made considerable im provement on it, all of which we consider as timely and pr* per. ” the g<»od condition in which the publfo COUNTY COM3IISSIONERS. We also find the books of the Commission ers of Koadn and Revenue kept in the proper manner, reflecting credit upon this depart- mcn of the public service. ROADS. We find the r^ads in tne county generally in fair, but not good condition. We ca’I the at tention of the proper authorities to the plow ing and cultivation of the rigbis-of-wray, and throwing brush, stumps and rocks i*n the roads. We find the road at. a branch near Mr. John Bailey’s, and at Wlii^e Oak creek near Mr. John B. Goodwyn’s, in the Sixth district, need work. We also find the Columbus road, near Dr. Devine’s place, in the Fourth district, in bad condition. Also, a puncheon bridge in a lane on the plantation of J. W. Clarke, in the Hurricane district: also, a bridge at the Robinson place, in the Fifth dis trict. COUNTY COURT. We find the hooks of the County Court cor rect and neatly kept. COUNTY SURVEYOR. We recommend that the County Surveyor keep a book of record ot all lauds surveyed. DRUGGISTS’ LIQUOR BOOKS. We find the books of Dr. Jacob Starr for the record of the sale of liquors irregularly and unlawfully kept. PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE LOCAL OF- TIO^LAW. After an investigntfon of the books of the druggists who sell liquor in this county, and such other evidence as was before us, we are satisfied that the prohibition Jaw of t ills coun ty is not carrieo out as the law directs: and to reach violators of the law, both seller and buyer, we find ve y difficultto< nforce. There fore, we respectfully request and urge our present Representatives in the General Assembly to so amend the prohibition lawn, so far as it pertains to the county of Coweta, as to take the sale of spirituous, vinous, malt or other intoxicating liquors out of the hands of the druggists and place the name in the hands of the County Commissioners, who shall have full control of the sale of the same. And it is the sentiment of this body that the liquors thus sold, shall be sold at cost, with actual expenses added, and in the city of Newnan. Ga., only; and the Commissioners sliail appoint as salesman (at a stated wdary; a man or upright, moral and temperate char acter and habits, and who shall be a citizen of the couniy. And we further recommend that the salesman be required to give a bond of not less than five hundred dollars for the faithful discharge of his duties; and should the salesman fail to do so, he shall forfeit his bond, and such failure of duty shall be deem ed a misdemeanor. And it shall be the duty of Ihe County Commissioners to make a full written leport to each grand Jury of all liquors bought and sold under this amendment. PAY OF JURORS AND BAILIFFS. We recommend that the per diem of Jurors and bailiffs be two dollars. PUBLICATION. We recommend that thes*» presentments be published >n The Herald and Advertiser and the Senoia Sentinel, and that* ach be paid *hc sum of twelve dollar- and fifty cents for tame. THANKS. We tender our thanks to his Honor, Judge Jhs. S. Boynton, and O. McClendon, Solioltor- G»mer»I pro tern., ami also to the Bberlff, for kindness shown and a&«istance given. Andrew B. Brov-n, Foreman.
