It is hardly necessary to add that we need the money due us;—that “goes without saying.” fact., that all matters demanding in quisitorial attention had been disposed of by 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon, when the jury adjourned for the term. This record for expediteness has been equaled but once in many years, and that was when Matt Cole was foreman of the grand jury last September. The City Board of Education has filled the vacancies in the faculty of Atkinson Grammar School by electing Miss Katie Sue Brewster teacher of the fifth grade and Miss Gary Trcadaway teacher of the fourth grade. Miss Em mie Terry Snead, chosen teacher of the fifth grade at a former meeting, has been transferred to the sixth grade, in the same school. It is believed now that the new school building will be no nearly finished by Monday as to permit its occupancy, thus obviating the ne cessity of getting temporary quarters for this school. Mr. Frank L. Stevens, who returned from New York on Friday last, said he found more buyers from the South and West than he had ever seen at one time in New York at this season, and that a bou.vant feeling prevailed in the irv goods market. Asked if the new tariff had affected prices to any marked extent, he said it had not; that most of the large jobbing houses had antici pated the new law by making heavy importations in advance o/ the passage of tne Payne-Aldrich bill, thus evading the higher duties levied by the new law, and that immense advance pur chases of American goods had been made also. For these reasons he thought prices this fall would be little, if any. higher than those which pre vailed last season. Walter Barrentine, a young man who shot and killed his brother in the Hur ricane district about eighteen months ago, and who was afterwards convicted and sentenced to the State Prison Farm for a term of five years, was granted a pardon last week by Gov. Brown, upon the recommendation of the State Par don Board. Barrentine is a half-witted fellow, and, in the opinion of those fa miliar with all the circumstances, was regarded as irresponsible for his mur derous act. Several weeks ago Col. J. C. Newman and Col. W. L. Stallings became interested in the cnse, and, with the co-operation of many good cit izens in the western part of the county, went to work to secure a pardon for the young man, with the result stated above. Barrentine returned home last week, and seems to be enjoying his liberty. Ordinary’s Court.

The present grand jury, with Golsey Farmer as foreman, has been a very industrious body — so industrious, in Court Notes. The fall term of Coweta Superior Court, which convened Monday morn ing. brought together the usual num ber of spectators, in addition to the ju rors, litigants and witnesses whose duty or interest compelled their attend ance. Judge Freeman’s charge to the grand jury was an able and exhaustive expo sition of the law defiining their duties, and each member was fully enlightened regarding his obligation as a public in quisitor. All matters subject to inves tigation and review were brought to their attention, with the warning that their findings must be uninfluenced either by favoritism or prejudice. The entire week has been consumed in the hearing of civil causes, none of which were of much importance. The criminal docket will be taken up next Monday.
