“ A chlel'n anianf/ i/r talcin' not ch, And faith lie'll print' rm." ATHENS, GA., MAY 27, 1882. THE LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION. "lIRGEST COI ATI CIRCULATIOAT Liooal Dots- Read Gray’s new advertisement. His stock of goods is simply superb, and the 1 adies of Athens and vicinity are fast finding out that at Gray’s is the place to secure bargains. Rev. Dr. Mell will preach at the Baptist church to-morrow morning. Rev. C. D. Campbell left on Tuesday last for an extended visit to the North. Pleased to have visits from Messrs. Henry and John Winter, and other friends from Winterville within the last few days. An extended notice of the German of Wednesday uight,a most pleasant occasion, and the Factory Dots are [crowded out. A large portion of our local page is de voted to the grand jury presentments. This matter however is of interest to every citi zen of Clark county, and should be read by all interested in matters pertaining to the county. “Sophmore” lias furnished us some inter esting news in regard to the University this week. See statement of condition of National Bank elsewhere in to day’s paper. Mr. M. B. McGinty has some beautiful furniture which he has just leceived. Something new in this line is his toilet stand, a wash stand and mirror combined. Col. /Hex. R. Jones and wife, of Atlanta, are in the city, visiting relativesand friends. Dr. W. L. Jones was in the city® day or two this week. He left on the Northeast ern yesterday evening. Miss L zzie Stovall will return next week from a visit to her sister Mrs Dußose in Columbia county. Her friends will gladly welcome her home. Mrs Welborn Hill of Atlantans the guest of Miss Rutherfords at the Lucy Cobb. • We understand the broom' stick drill will constitute one of the most interesting fea tures of the approaching Lucy Cobb Com mencement. Mrs. Dr. Branham nee Miss Jule Billups « will visit Miss Rosa Delony during the University Commencement. Professor’s Floyd and Alexander of At lanta and Thomasville respectively, will lay aside the birch long enough to smile upon our city during commencement. It is needless to add that this announcement will fill the hearts of our young ladies with glades. Judge Gibson, the ladies man of the Augusta News, will dance the German with us during commencement. While their church is undergoing repairs, the congregation of the First Methodist " "c^diWi 1 win worship at the Ouuri House. Misses Belle and Jennie Harris, of Win terville, were in the city Thursday. Messrs. Lynch & Flanigen have our | thanks for a bar of circumlitio or lightning cleaning glass-ware, polishing w giving a brilliancy to silver-ware. It is made by Mr. 11. T. Lynch and gives entire satisfaction wherever used. M*s Hill, an aged lady, died at the county Farm on Thursday last. Col. J. N. Garrison, the genial host of Gillsville, gave us a cull a few days since. He is a firm friend of the Chronicle, and is authorized to receive rubscriptions for it. Mr. John R. Nichols has placed upon our table, some curiosities from his corn-field. One ear of corn has 40 rows around the j top; another corn cob has almost exactly the appearance of a human hand; while still another is a sort of Siamese twins ar rangement—two ears of corn being unite d together, yet distinct. These singular mal formations have attracted the attention of a number of persons who have been in the office. Thieves are playing sad havoc with the gardens of the citizens of Thomas street. — A load of shot might induce them to mend their ways. Mr. J. H. Dorsey narrowly escaped a bite from a rattle snake one day last week. He was examining his potato vines when a rat tle snake struck, and only missed his arm by about an inch. Col. R. 11. Kinnebrew, of the Monitor, was in the city Thursday. He informed us the people of Danielsville will picnic to-day, and our thanks are hereby extended him for an invitation to the same. The most complete bathing place in the county is on the dairy farm of Mr. J. 11. Dorsey. Large numbers of his friends visit it every summer. Mrs. H. R. Palmer is visiting friends in Virginia. On Monday night last the sounds of pro fane language and terrible oaths awakened the citizens of South Lumpkin street. The next morning we were informed that the author of these was a man who, owing to the crookedness of the sidewalk, was forced to turn a double somersault and alight in the gulleys. Another gentleman had his leg badly sprained at this point last week- The walk should be repaired. The Good Templars installed their offi cers Tuesday night. The campus grounds are being mowed, and by Commencement will present a most beautiful appearance. Mr. P. Benson is suffering much from a swollen leg. Hope to see him well soon. The Athens Foundry gives notice through our advertising columns that they are now prepared to test boilers and steam gauges. We consider this announcement of sufficient importance to call especial at tention to it in this way. Our country is filling up rapidly with small engines, many of them in careless hands, and life and property are in continual danger from their use. Il these boilers were tested at stated periods, the owner would always know just what pressure of steam could be safely used, and with reasonable care could avoid > the danger of raising ste imto too great a pressure for the strength of the boiler. We believe some of the Stater have been 1 in dering such tests obligatory on all steam users; but whether compelled or not, en • gine owners fur their own safety should not neglect so important a matter. Death of Mrs. Franklin. This estimable lady, the widow of the late Co). L Franklin, died at her home in this city on Sunday morning last, after a long and painful illness. Mrs Franklin was well known and universally esteemed in the community. The bereaved have the sympathy, of a large circle of friends. Death of Miss Jennie Saye, This estimable young lady, daughter of Mr. W. N. Saye, of Atlanta, died at the res idence of Mr J W Saye, in this county, at about five o’clock last Sabbath evening, in the 20th year of her age. She had left her home in Atlanta only a few days before, with the hope that the change might be beneficial, as she had been in bad health for some months. A sudden change for the worse quickly terminated her life. Miss Saye had been a member of the Presbyte rian church for four or five years, and was a young Christian of bright promise. The stricken parents did not reach here until the morning after her death. Xhe remains were placed by loving hands in the church yard at Bethaven. The bereaved friends have our sincere sympathies. Marriage. Mr. Jno Ash, one of our most popular clerks, left our city Tuesday evening ac companied by several friends, and returned Wednesday evening with Mrs. Jno. Asli, nee Miss Lula Blown, an accomplished young lady of Madison county. The young couple were tendered a reception by Mr. W. C. Ash, brother of the groom, on the night of their arrival here, and the enjoy ment of the occasion was greatly height ened by a serenade from the band. They have our best wishes for their future hap piness. .. < THE GA. ROAD AND CARR ESTATE. The extension of the Ga. Road has given rise to some statements that a suit would be brought bj’ the heirs of Win. A. Carr against the Ga. Road, for the recovery of the lands and improvements now used for the freight and passenger depot. Mr. Alex R. Jones, of Atlanta, who married a grand daughter of Col. Carr, has been in the city during the week and from him we have learned the following particulars. The land mentioned was given to the Road by Col. Carr, for the purpose of electing a depot &c., tbrereon. It was a condition in in the deed, that should the Road discon tinue the use of the depot to be erected on the land specified in the deed, either for freight or passengers, or should the Road ever be extended beyond its present termi nus, the property with all improvements should revert to the heirs of the donor No suit has as yet been brought. No de mand has yet been made of the Road and consequently no refusal by them, both of which will be done Delore any suit is con templated. In whatever is done the heirs will be represented by Mr. Jones, and Mr. E. K. Lumpkin, who also married a grand daughter of Col. Carr. No other attorneys have been employed by the heirs, nor is 41 likely there will be. Chips From the lluilders. Real estate in our city has been on the rise for the past three years or more, but never before in her history has property attained the value it lias at present. This fact connected with the sound of the saw and hammer that is heard in our midst, gives our city a decided boom. Capt. Brumby is building a neat cottage of four rooms on States Right street. Mr. R. L. Bloomfield has nearly comple ted a neat, tasty church and school house, in the rear of Mr. Willie Griffeth’sresidence in Cobbham. The yellow lute of the timbers and rafters begin to mingle with the green foliage that adorn Prof. White’s front yard, as the work on his handsome residence is rapidly pushed forward. The Lucy Cobb chapel, as a complete finished building, is looked for by its friends in the hazy, distant future, unless work on it is pushed more rapidly than it has been within the past few days The improvements on the Methodist church are progressing rapidly, and will add greatly to the aheady handsome structure. Capt. Brumby’s new residence on Han cock Avenue is almost finished. It pre sents something new in its architecture and is one of the prettiest buildings in our city. In addition to the above there are quite a number of smaller cottages going up in different portions of the city, most all of which are rented before they are built. So that all in all, with new houses going up all over our city, the Ga. R. R. extension, telephone exchange and the water works in the near future, we think we can climb the fence and toss our hat in the air, for the future of our city. In passing, it might not be out of place to state that a prominent bachelor is talking of leaving the down town bailiwick and building a residence in Cobbham, where he can raise chickens, entertain his friends and sit on the front porch and see the girls ride by. Our sym pathy for Cobbham leads us to express the wish, the rumor is incorrect. • •-«-« Superior Court. The Superior Court, which has been in session for three weeks, tried but a few cases this week. Monday morning was consumed in an unsuccessful attempt to find some case ready for trial. Monday afternoon the case of Charles Green vs. Jos. Jacobs, suit for S3OO dam ages. The plaintiff was represented by Messrs, Lumpkin and Brown, the defen dants by Russell and Rucker, the jury found a verdict for the defandant. The next case was a rule nisi against Burrell H. Yerby who was defended by R. B. Russell, and the State represented by Solicitor Mitchell. The defendant’s plea was extenuating circumstances, in view of which Mr Yerby was only fined $25 01), which was a very small fine for the charge. Tuesday the case of B. O.W. Rose vs. 8. J. Sloman was tried. The jnry brought a ver dict for the plaintiff for sls and costs. The next case tried was Miss Elizabeth Colt, vs. John R. Crane, administrator of John H. Colt, being a suit for one-half the profits of Colt’s mill for four years. The jury found the amount sued for, to wit, $2,000, for the plaintiff, Miss Colt. On Wednesday the case of the State, vs. Jos. E. Thurmond, charge I with stealing a horse from a negro man, was Called anti occupied the entire day. The state’s evi dence consisted of connected links of cir cumstantial evidence which left no doubt that the defendant was guilty, unless his witnesses could disprove the state’s evi dence to the satisfaction of the jury. This they failed to do, and the jury found the defendant guilty with a recommendation to mercy. The defendant claimed that he won the horse and hat from the negro, playing seven-up, on Sunday morning; that the negro was drunk and proposed to play first, and having no money, they had finally agreed to play’ horse against horse, the best two gatrttes out of three ; that he beat the negro and took the horse home. The de fendant explained bis concealment of the horse on the ground that he knew tiie title to property won by gambling was not good. On Thursday the Judge sentenced him to serve six years in the penitentiary. A mo tion will be made for a new trial. The case of Patman vs. Patman, involv ing $20,000, was continued on account of the illness of Col. Thurmond. The Grand Jury adjourned Tuesday, af ter rendering bills aginst over 180 illegal voters and various other violators of the law. Their presentments will appear in in other column. Double Tax. All who fail to give in their tax by the first of June, will be subject to double tax. It is just as easy to comply with the law and give in your tax by June Ist, as it is to wait until some time later; and then, by com plying with the law, your tax will not be so heavy. American I.cgioa of Eloitor. The American Legion of Honor is a se cret benevolent society, and having been organized at a comparatively late date, and having the benefit of the experience of former organizations in the field, the found ers of this Society have been able to avoid many of the defects of the older organiza tions, while they have enlarged and im proved on their excellencies. A Council of this Order was organized in our city last Thursday night, by Grand Secretary, Pierce Hubert, under very favoi able auspices. The officers elected were, Gio II Palmer, Commander; J R Crane, Vice-Commander; Samuel C Benedict, Or - tor; Robert Chapple, Past Commander; J AV Vonderlieth, Secretary; Y II Wynn, Treasurer; J W Brown, Collector; J F Jackson, Chaplain ; C K Collins, Guide ; J Il Mealor, Warden ; D .Michael, Secretary ; John Gerdine, Medical Examiner; Samuel C Benedict, Alternate Medical Examiner; Y H Wynn, J II Mealor, Win Dootson, Trustees; Robert Chapple, Representative to Grand Council. In addition to the above named gcntli men, J II Dorsey, J A Grant, W J Hale, W It J.-noo, >3 *i. JHorr,., r —X Ilucker, James Dottery, W D Grift'eth, G Jacobs, A S Man devilie, John S McKie, AV B Thomas, were among the charter membets. This Order will also receive ladies into full membership, a d the name of Mrs Virginia B Wynn was enrolled among their charter members. Parties uniting themselves with this Or der are entitled to a death benefit ranging from SSOO to $5,000. The Council fixed the initiation fee at the small sum of $5.00. Campus In Ik. Mr. Henry W. Grady was compelled to decline the chairmanship of the Champion Debate, because of engagements. Cap'. Henry Jackson of Atlanta, has been elected in his stead. We hear it stated on good authority that the colloquies which were so much enjoyed last Commencement, will again be one of the interesting items on the programmes this year. They are confined to the Junior and Senior Classes. Last Friday evening, Mr. James 11. Pit man, of LaGrange, rose in the Demosthe nian Society, and moved that a committee of three be appointed to draft resolutions expressing the sympathy of the Society with the family of Senator Hill in the great af fliction which has befallen the Senator.— Appropriate remarks were made, and when the vote was taken every man rose to his feet. The writer was looking over the valuable collection of autograph letters owned by the Demosthenian Society the other day, and was struck with this fact: The letters from such men as Buchanan, Polk, John son, Toombs, Hill, Davis, Lee, Longfellow, Irving, and others of note, were exceedingly short, and contained nothing but an ac knowledgement of compliments and honors given; while the letters from men of less note were long, and contained advice and suggestions to the young men. The University Board of Trustees con sists of thirty-two members, not including the Agricultural Trustees. It may not have any significance, but it is a fact never theless, that out of the thirty-two, only one has a son in the University. The majority of the students come from those sections of the State which are not blessed with Trus tees. There are some three or four Trus tees of the University who hold similar offices in other literary institutions. The University is in a most prosperous condition, and has every guarantee of fu ture prosperity. The only dark cloud which lines its horizon is the fact that some of its alumni seem to be indifferent to its fate. The registers of Yale, Vanderbilt, the Virginia University, and the University of the South, show the names of sons of the alumni of the University of Georgia. Some people seem to think that the pres ent set of students here Jis much younger than usual. The average age of the boys is nineteen; some are between twenty-four and five, and a few are as young as four teen. Possibly the Senior Class has the youngest members in college with the ex ception of the Freshman Class. The Seniors were talking the other day about the vocations in life they expected to pursue, and if we are hot mistaken eight will be lawyers, six teachers, four civil en gineers, two chemists, four ministers, two journalists, and the remainder will follow miscellaneous employments.

R- White, J, P., of 217th district, report that they had no case,either civil or criminal on their dockets for more than twelve months. May a merciful providence hasten the day when every docket in the State will be in the same condition. COUNTY FARM We find the farm in a good condition and take pleasure in saying that the general appearance of all the crops on the farm is good—reflecting credit upon the industry and judgment of Mr. Tuck, its efficient su perintendent. We recommend that a stockade be built for the convenience and safe keeping of the prisoners. We further recommend that the ordina ry furnish the superintendent with neces sary account books, in which he shall keep an accurate account of all selling and buy ing, of all transactions relative to the pau per farm, convict caipjaisd that all money accruing from the proceeds of said farm and camp pass through the hands of the Ordinary prior to being paid over to the County Treasurer.

We have in conjunction with the com missioners created by the act of the Legis latuie of Georgia in September, 1881, to bum the bonds |of the county, have dis charged that duty and ask to submit as a part of our teport, the report ui that com mission. 'COMMISSIONER’S REPORT. AVe, the undersighed committee appoint ed by an act of the legislature approved September Kiili, 1881, have issued forty on< thousand dollars in six per cent bonds ol the county of Clark, and disposed of the same, dated the first day of January. 1882, and running twenty years from date, with option of redemption to any time utter five years, by giving three months notice. AVe have this day burned eleven thou sand five hundred dollars of bonds which fell due July first, 1881, and thirty thousand dollars of bonds issued for the building of the courthouse which were called in. All of said bonds bearing seven per ct. int., which now leaves the bonded indebtedness of (forty-one thousand dollars) bearing six per cent, interest—payable semi-annually. The record of the same will be made by the ordinary in a book prepared for Ibis purpose. GENERAL RKCOMENDATIONS. We recommend the ordinary be paid the sum of one hundred and fifty dollars for extra services, from November term, 1881, to May term, 1882, which we reconnne. d to be paid. AVe also recommend the payment of ten dollars to Mr. E. Bancroft for posting and balancing the books of the lateS. C. Reese. AVe also recommend that the sum < f ten dollars be paid the representative of S. C Reese, for signing the bonds and coupons of the new county bonds just issued. AVe recommend that Asa M. Jackson be paid the sum of four dollars for money paid messengers for bringing returns for bailiff's and justice of peace election. AVe recommend that the ordinary levy such an amount upon the state tax as in bis judgement may be necessary to meet the various objects, specified in the code, for which county taxes are required to be levied, provided it shall not exceed 200 per cent, on the general state tax. AVe recommend that the ordinary, alter consultation with the commissioners <f Oconee county, (and when the finances of the county will justify it) build such a bridge at Simonton’s shoals ns in their judgement they may think best for the public convenience. In compliance with the reqitest of the attorneys practicing at this court, we re commend that the ordinary employ Daniel Lumpkin to take care of the court house and grounds, at a salary of ten dollars a month, for his whole time. The grand jury recommend that the or dinary confer with the city authorities in regaid to the erection of pest houses to In built at the county farm, for the use of both the county and city authorities. — We recommend that it be done at onc<. . We recommend that our representative to the legislature take such steps as are necessary to have the vagrant law so amended that it can be enforced by the courts, or else have it repealed altogether. AVe recommend that Thomas Crynus be appointed to the office of notary public, made vacant by the resignation of 8. Al Herrington, for the 216th district, G. M. We recoin nend that the tax collector furnish the managers of elections at each preciuct, as well as at the court house, with .» Met of defaulting tax pay CIS. We recommend that the < r n.ry ba\e ten thousand road summons printed and distributed to the ditUereut road cunnniss* ioners of the various districts. We recommend that the ordinary tender the use of the court house to the Fiist Methodist church for the purpose of hold ing religious services during the erection ol their church. We earnestly recommend that the ordF nary issue no more retail liquor license io any one outside of the corporate limits ol any city or town in the county. We recommend that the pay of the jurors and bailiffs remain the same as bereie.orc I We regret that the criminal law is not more rigidy enforced, believing that the best way to suppress crime is to make the punishment of the lawbreaker sure ami severe, thus making the law a terror to evil doers and a protection to the law-abiding citizen. We tender to Judges Erwin, Snead and Pottle the thanks of this body, and also to Solicitor-General Mitchell, for courtesies and recommend that these presentments be published in the papers of the town.
