that the Presbytery coaid make no

organ of Baker county for years, until
last year, when Mr. George, .late
sheriff, on entering upon the dntlea

gave bis advertising to the Courier,
When Sheriff George took lifts ad
vertising from this papor and gave it
to tho Courier we arid nothing about
it, being assured at the time by tho
other county officers that they would
not follow him io this now departhre,
and that tho patronage of the sheriff's
office wonld certainly come back to
as as soon as Mr. George's term of
office expired. Nor did we spitefully

tempt to do him an injury by exposing
the questionable, not to sag unpro

obtain the patronage in question
from tho young and unexperienced
gentleman, Mr. George, who.had just

Tho News and Adveotiseb does not
go ont of Its way to quarrel with jeal
ous or disgruntled contemporaries, nor
will we take any notico of tho petty
and contemptuous flings that are made
at ns this week by the fractions and
aelf-opinhraatod young editor of the
Courier, bnt bo makes some state
ments in his article that are antrne,
and are calculated to mislead. These
we shall notice in justice to ourself,
and then we are done. He says:
Mr. McIntosh, editor of the News
ano Advertiser, was in Newton
Tuesday of last weefc r the day of Mr.
Galloway’* appointment, and ap
proached biro on the matter in quoa
ten. Mr. Galloway told him that of
coarse he should have the printing, if
he eras entitled to it, and promised to
investigate the matter aa early a* con
venient; which was bis doty as a
sheriff; and jest what any honest man
who wanted to serve bis people snaht
would do. His promise to Mr. Mc
Intosh was entirely conditional, and
on this conditional promise alone was
the notice published. These state
ments are Mr. Galloway’s in direct
conversation with ns.
Mr. McIntosh never “approached
Mr. Galloway on the - matter in ques
tion,” and in this statement and in
what follows we know Mr. G. will
bear ns ont, the assertion of the yoneg
of the Courier to the contrary not
withstanding. The only time we had
any conversation with Mr. Galloway
on the subject of the sheriff's adver
tising was when, in passing by where
that gentleman and editor Underwood,
of the Camilla Clarion, were engaged
in conversation on the street, the latter
called ns Op andJntrodnced the sub
ject, stating in fair and manly terms,
that he, too, was a competitor for the
sheriff’s printing Mr. Underwood
was present and heard all that passed
between Mr. Galloway and ourself,
and that was the first, last and only
time that we ever spoke to Mr. Gal
loway on the sabject of bis official pat
ronage. At that time we bad the cita
tum In oor pocket giving notice that
the sheriff's advertising of Baker coun
ty wonld be changed from the Cou
iter back to the News axd Adver
tiser, which doenmext bad been given
os a few minutes before by Mr. W.
W. Williams, County Commissioner,
by authority of Mr. Galloway. At
the time Mr. Williams gave os the ci
tation we did not know that we would
see Mr. Galloway at all, bnt Mr. Gal
loway and Mr Williams certainly bad
an understanding about tbs matter.
At the time we were with Mr. Gal'o-
way in the presence of Mr. Under
wood are said nothing aboat having
the citation in onr pocket, because we
saw no necessity for it, and thought
Mr. G. wonld inform Mr. Underwood
of bis decision In the premises it he
saw proper to do so.
Bat oar young friend of the Cour
ier cites the fact that the grand jury
at the recent term of. the Saperior
Coart recommended their general pre
sentments published in bis paper in
stead of the News and Advebtiseb a?
evidence of the tact that bis paper is
held in higher esteem in Baker coun
ty than onr* is. A11 that we have to
say in reply to tbia is, that a member
of the Grand Jury informed ns that
the editorof the Conner offered to pnt|
lish the pnsentmentsfree of charge.
We could have obtained them upon
the esme terms, bnt informed the
member ot the Grand Jury referred to
that we were not in competition with
any aneb journalism as that practiced
by our* disgruntled neighbor. This,
coupled with the fact that the Grand
Jury found it necessary to curtail ex
penses as much as possible, is why
the Courier got the Grand Jory pre
sentments.
The fnsilade of onr soured young
neighbor is concluded with tho an-
nouncement that ’’should the effort to
take the advertising from him prevail,
he will reproduce them in the Courier
for the benefit of his readers.” W
are perfectly willing that be ahonlil do
this “cot throat” sort of bnsiness if it

A ccxiocs discovery has been made
at the Treasury Department, which
illustrates (he necessity of a revision
of the custom laws. The officials, in
prepairing a map of the customs dis
tricts, discovered in the Treasury list
a port of delivery in Maryland, the
map of which conld not be'found upon
any record.or any map. Inquiry was
male at the Coast 8urvey for infor
mation as to the locality of this port,
and the Coast 8orvey had no knowl
edge of it. finally, after a protracted
search, it was found that there was
■nch a place on tho ocean side on .the
eastern shore of Maryland half a cen
tury ago, bnt 'bat it was washed
away and became part of the ocean
folly fifty years ago. Yet thst place,
or what was that place, is still borne
upon the Treasury books as one of
the ports of entry of the United
Kleptomania.
A prominent and highly esteemed
society lady’’ of New York has been
caught stealing the jewelry and bric-a-
brac of other “society Isdies” whom
she visits; “and now,’’ says the dainty
report, “the qnevtlon is, shall the la
dies invite .her to their houses hereaf
ter?” The Indianapolis News takes
the right view of the matter when it
says it look* aa if tho question ought
to be, “shall not twelve men give her
a pressing' invitation to the' peniten
tiary, dr at leant irinko clono inquiry as
to < Ji i pf _quali float ion* for such a posi
tion?" Suppose tho “kleptomaniac,”
lh*f la the dolicato euphemism in “so
ciety’’ for tho rougher “lliler* of lower
life,—were not a “society lady,’’ but a
“woman,” who washed for a living,
and had stolen her neighbor’s soap or
flatirons; wouldn’t a grand jury invite
to court and a petit jury Invite to the
penctentiary in abort order? Yea,
verily. What bettor ia tho “society
lady?” bat better claim has she to
lenity? Sbo la worae and has less
claim to gentle consideration. For
withhar education and surroundings
the iniquity of theft must be better
appreciated-than it tnlyht be by an ig
norant washerwoman, raised in the
company of ignorant and not over hon
est people, as frequently happens.
To her the objects of her larceny would
be sn advartage, and that far a sort
of excuse. There Is not oven that
palliation for the “society lady’’ who
can easily boy the things she steals.
“Bat her stealing when she can afford
to .buy is a proof that she is insane on
that point,” saya one. Certainly it
may be one circumstance tending to
such a conclusion. bnt it is far from
It ia a st rengthening eircom-
that tho thief does not use or
sell the stolen articles, bnt hides them
likea ctow. Bnt both together are
not more conclusive ot insanity than
depravity. No “insanity’’ shield
would be offered to cover a house
maid or a cook who shonld take a
fancy to some of the family valuables,
and hide instead of sell them. She
would bo a thief and not a “klepto
maniac.” There are distinctions to
bo justly drawn here, we admit, bat
we believe that .too often they are
drawn to the disadvantage of the poor
and the unjust shelter of the rich. If
one of these “society ladies” shonld
-be sent to the penitentiary, or only
indicted and tried, for her little esca
pades of “kleptomania,” we fancy
there wonld be a quick and whole
some diminution of the depredations
of “ladies’' on jewelry stores and the
costly toys of fashionable friends.

Death has again crossed bur threshold, and

alt that was mortal of Mas. Aosta D. Joses.
the arex»i>pli*hed anil beloved organist of St.
Paul’s Episcopal Church. Mat. Joses was one
ofthe mostesemplary and devoted members of
Uns church, and her loss wiH bo felt through
tbe coming yean. A congregation in tears
attests the fact of her worth, and the great lo-a
we hire suslainel in atl the relations of life.

edied to mourn the ‘lose of that nobis woman
Mrs. Dr.Cromwell. Now we hare assembled l>
pay tbe last sad tribute of sffretloo to one of cur
loveliest characters we have ever kn.isn. -The
