ERRATUM
An error occurs in the article at tin*
head of the third column of out* first
page. Following the word “coined” in
fhe eleventh line, these words were omit
ted; "every month until 88Ob.b()().000
are coined." Our readers can supply the
missing line and thus get the correct
sense of Mr. Fait.kxkh's bill, Thf orrni
occurred not from an intention to rob tin
Senator of f707,000,000, but simply
tliroii{<h un oversight fxtlli Uio inlHli

reader. Hope he will accept our apology.
W exchange speaks very tenderly of a
young Georgian, “seareely twenty years
old,” who is already in the t oils of poetry

A third party farmer iu Jackson
county went to Athens a few days ago,
and after making some sales, remarked
that lie wouldn’t takeserijiin payment as
Tom Watson had said that such things
were no good. Learning where Jie was
from, a merchant made mention of the
fact that some of the farmers of his dis
trict had been jailed for passing counter
f.*it money. “Oh you are mistaken,"
plied the farmer, “the boys out there
heard that congress had passed the free
coinage act and were just taking ad van
tnge of it."
“And,” an exchange remarks, “that reji
resents the ideas of thousands of (icople
who don't know what free coinage of sil
ver is."

the thirty bars of gold weremsssing. The
story of hotv the old man yielded to bis
passion for the glittering metal, and for
years had been slijijiing it out of its cage
fcy use of a crooked stick, reads like a
fairy tale, and starnger still that lie had
hidden it in secret places about hi- house
being discovered. All the bul¬

SHERMAN ON CLEVELAND.
A New York paper publishes a report
of a conversation with John Sherman,
which it says was nol intended for jailili
cation. In the conversation the Ohio
senator said of I’resident Uv'vv'inml:
“I am now an old man," said the t'.im
ous senator, “and perhaps I have taken
on the narrow-mindedness of age. It is
hard for me to believe that any Democrat
can In* a patriot. I lived through a hard
und trying period iu our country's his
tor.v, when we Republicans came to look
ujnm all Democrats as traitors and era
uiiesof the govenutent. That belief has
remained with me as the years have gone
b.v, and I repeat it is not easy I'ot* me to
: H ,v perfect goodness in one of tin* Dem
ocratic jierstiasion. Rut no one’’ contiu
tied s%|ator Sherman, in n voice ofint
ginvii.v, “no one can view the
%i(luclNf Grover Cleveland without be
iw "1 eonvilced oi tin* greatness and good

Friends, ptavoual following, jtarty, are
nothing to him as compared with the
Jai*e of the js'Ojile. With my natural dis
trust of all Democrats i might be tempted
to look nj>■ >n this phase of Cleveland's
conduct merely as a bit of the ablest pol
itics, but ic honesty l must admit that 1
have watched this in an in all the cri
ses of the national life in which he has
had u pan, and 1 cannot shake off the
conviction of his superb abilities, and his
magnificent patriotism.” Of all the lead
mg men of tin* Republican party Mr. Slier
inan has Uni most disliked by Demo
erats. In the above he gives the reason
for their dislike. I le lias been a cold and
narrow-minded partisan, who constantly
questioned their patriotism and honesty,
in spite of his great talents he remained
a sectional politician, who. if lie did not
hate the jieojile of the South, continued
to be coldly suspicious of their motives. |
Sentiments of this kind an* always
rocated, and there has been no e.xceptiim
in this case. It may lie said that Mr.
Blainehad a considerable folio wing among
Southern Democrats—men who, though
they might not vote for Jiim against
their |nirty candidate, yet admired him
greatly and would not have resented his
accession follower. Of siieli a fottmriug
Mr. Sherman has not tin .smallest.
His attitude toward the Democratic
president is as hostile asevei*. His praise
is extorted by a courage and consistency
io winch even his cold prejudice , c mnot
blind him.

A MYSTERIOUS GRAVE.
Rome, Gu.. 17.—M'hile investigation
has developed recently murders commit
ted near Imre which were shocking in their
cruelty it at the same time has brought
to light an incident which forces a laugh
in spite of the gravity ot the situation,
After two bodies hud been found, one in
a well ami another tied to a tree, and
white excitement ran high, a man named
Gaddis, living in the neighborhood, rush
ed to town and in an excited manner told
(he officers that he had discovered a uew
ly made grave; that there was a man in
it; that he had extorted aeonfession from
un oUl m*gvo man who had stvu tin* hotly
buried. It was late in the afternoon, s-»
every one agreed not to disturbthegrave
until the morrow,
Next day the sheriff and his posse, ac
coinpanied by a number of sensational
citizens, jiroeeeded early to investigate
tiie myster.ousgrave. Gaddis,
jy excited, was on hand. The grave was
there. Everybody looked on it in wild
eyed astonishment.
“They have attemjited to cremate it:
I can tell b.v the smell," exclaimed a by
slander while the digging into the grave
waseontinued.
••It's awful!” said one. “Horrible!"
joined the chorus. A little more digging,
and the grave gave forth its dead—a
small polecat!
“We will hump Gaddis!" said someone.
Rut Gaddis smilingly said: , “Roys, get
thed—d nigger who toldnie."

time or to eternity'; peacemakers are
those lovers of God and man who utterly
a tihor all strife aigl debate, all variance
and contention, mid, necordingly, labor
with ali their might, cither to prevent
this tire of discord being kit,died; or, when
it is kindled, from breaking out: or, when
it is broken out, to extinguish it. They
endeavor to calm the stormy spirits of
men, to qftfel their turbulent passions, to
soften The winds of contending parties,
and. it possible. p, reconcile them. It is
the joy of their hearts to promote mu¬
tual good will among men; especially
: he better class of people will. Rut in tie*
full extent «.f the word, peacemaker is one
who, as !\e has an opportunity, doeth
good unto all me,,: one that, being tilled
with tin* love of God and all mankind can
not couftno tin* nxprwsions ot it U\ IPs
own family or fiminis or anjuaiut; jii<ts
or party, or to fln> : »* of his own opinions;
no, nor to thoso who am |»arlr«k<‘rs of
like precious faith, Imt steps over all
these narrow hounds that he may
good to every man; that he may, some
wav or other, manifest his love to his
neighbors and strangers, friends and en¬

ploying here ,11 all Ids talents of every
kind, all Ids powers and faculties of body
and soul, all la’s fortune, his interest, his
reputation, desiring only to show his
love to his God and his neighbors and
his country.
The more quietly and peaceably we all
get on, t he In- ter for ourselves, and our
neighbors. Tin* wisest course is, if a man
cheat you, quit (leafing with him: if he is
abusive, qud his company; if he.

of the races, and as a lover of the Lord
ind Saviour .I-siis Christ, who died on

a thing is wrong is because it in some
way causes t he innocent to suffer.
A word to the while people, loa have
the colored mail here, and he has heljied
you to bring this great country to its
high standing; he helj>ed you clear up the
great fields; he helped yon tv. cut your
canals and build your railroads, and to
make your homes jileasant and beautiful.
Now, as the color d man must admit you
arc his Iicst fri, .1,1. for you could not
otherwise; and, as you are the colonizer
of this great American vontinetit and
have brought it from its savage condi¬
tion to a more intelligent state, there is
much more for you to do before this
country is wli -re Christ will be pleased (o
bless it to its full extent. A'ou can do
mui'li ami lasting good by reading
law of God and the law of the land to
! lie color'd people and nd\ise them
keeji out of bad coinjiany, and when yon
find that you have a low-down
woman or your place you should
them to stop their meanness or get oh
your place; and by doing this you "ill
raise t he moral oi the colored people lo

A word to the colored people: One of
the , groat Hindrances , to .

my race ami all other races, I am hurt to
my very soul when 1 see how we are

such a statu of affairs, wt> should not
blame other* for it. Just think oi

when the better claw of white people see

1 mean the better class will; so lei* 11 *

as long as tiie white peojile and the eol
