T. llackett, who was the choice of the Catoosa county pri mary. No one is hotter known in the district. Ho is a man of abil ity, plain and blunt but of ster ling honesty. No dirt has ever been found under his collar. If elected, tho interests of the dis trict will ho in safe hands. LaFayette has its first gravel roof, the one on tho drug store building. Tho board foundation has a fall of a half inch to tho foot. On this was put down a cover of unprepared lelting paper. Then follows the yard wide tarred paper, put on shingle fashion and having a show of seven inches. Each course has a coat of tho thickened tar between it and the one above it. After being shin gled with tho tarred paper, a coat of hot tar was applied and the gravel, screenings from tho crush er at Chattanooga, sproad. The roof is guaranteed for ten years. There will bo public speaking at LaFayette on Friday the 15th day of July, 1892. On this oc casion Col. Win. 11. Dabney and Judge Joel Hranham and per haps others, will address tho poo pie cf Walker county upon the political issues of tho day. These people are well and favorably known to the people of North Georgia, and as they are not as pirants for office, nor in tho inter est of any candidate, they will speak solely upon vital questions of the day in which all parties are interested. The public generally is cordial ly invited, and all may rest as sured that they will be highly en tertained by these eloquent speak ers. Two lectures will bo given this week in connection with the Coun ty Normal Institute now in ses sion by Supt. Harper of Americus, Ga., the conductor of tho Institute. The subject of tho first lecture, which will ho given to-night, Wednesday, will ho “How tho World was made and how it changing,” a popular scientific lecture, of great interest to every body. -The second lecture will he on “The Ways of tho Father land" and will be given tomorrow Thursday night. The first lecture will he free, for the second a nom inal admission of 10 cents will he charged. I’rof. Harper spent three years as a student in Ger many, speaks German fluently, and will be prepared to give an instructive and intensely inter esting lecture. ltoiiiiil Pond Reminiscences. Fifty years ago, about this time John Dickson, with a fishing par ty, spent tho night at Found Pond. Ho caught as his share 110 cat fish. On another occasion, Dr. Cothran and some others rode out there. The doctor was thrown near the pond and almost killed. His companions stripped and by diving down filled a bottle with tho cold water found there. This was poured on him to revivo him and given him to drink. Tradi tion does not say where the bot tle came from in that prohibi tion crowd. G. W. Clements had heard the old story that two Indians who wanted to ascertain the depth of tho Pond put a wash pot on their head and went down, bat never came up again. Time and again, he has dived there to find that wash pot hut always failed. N. E. B.uikhii, PiTst., S. It. ltu.vo, Vice-Prrst., ". A. Hum, Cashier.

Ochs Willard Warner, S. It. Head, N. E. Barker 15. bombard, Jr., W. A. Sadat Henry Clay King, of Memphis, a gifted lawyer and who had made a fine record as a soldier shot to death wantonly a distinguished attorney of that city, Henry Pos ton. When tried he was found guilty of murder. The Supremo Court of Tennessee has affirmed the verdict, and nothing now re mains for King, if there is no ex ecutive clemency, but death by tho rope. It is a magnificent il lustration of judicial impartaility, when such stern justice is meted out to one occupying his high po sition. The Catoosa Primary. Was held Friday. The result wo give elsewhere. In holding a county primary instead of having one for the dis trict, wo think Catoosa has made a mistake that cannot bo remedied. It is a common sense proposition that her sister counties, Dade and Walker, were entitled to ho heard in tho choice of the candidate to be furnished by her. Among democrats, the right to vote car ries with it tho right to say shall bo voted for. The privilege of furnishing under the rota tion system the senator from this district does not give her tho say so as to who that senator shall he. As weliavo said, we do not think 1 the mistake can he remedied. Ca toosa may come forwaid with the proposition that wo shall hold a convention to accept or reject her nomination, but it will be impos sible to got a vote on tho question. Tho time for a convention has passed. The County Congressional Con ' vention. On the 15th inst. the democrats of Walker will meet at LaFayette to select delegates to the District Congressional Convention. For whom should they bo instructed? If wisdom and conservatism rule, wo think Hon. It. W. Everett will be tho choice of our county. As a democrat, ho lias tho right to claim a re-nomination by the un broken usage of his party, which gives an acceptable member a second term. That ho lias done his whole duty no one can deny, He has boon faithful to his trust, and true to every interest of his constituents. When other men are leaving their post to look after fences, ho stays, mindful of but one thing—his duty. As a question of conservatism his re-nomination is demanded. Wo want to show tho farmer ele ment.of tho district that the man whom they made our standard hearer and whose democracy has been tried, can count upon the support of every loyal democrat. The district has no one that can represent it more worthily than Judge Maddox, hut ho can, wait gracefully before pressing Ins claims, as long as good faith and tho good of tho party demand tho renomination of Hon.
