ADHINISTRATOR’S SALE.
BY virtue of an order from the court of Ordinary of
Gwinnett county, will be sold on Friday, the 13th

The share ot the estate of Austin Webb in the former
stock of Webb & McGee, which has been divided by ap

Judge Webb went down to Uncle

federate widows and old soldiers
who gather there each year to have
their pension papers fixed up. Un
cle Jeff gives tliem and Judge Webb
a big turkey dinuei, and the day
is always highly enjoyed.
The personal effects of the late
J. D. Spence were sold at auction
by the administrator Tuesday.
Most of the articles brought a fair
price, most of the household goods
being bid in by Mrs. J. D. Spence,
Bud Grizzle got quite a lot of the
kitchen utensils, and was a jovial
and free bidder on most all the ar
ticles put up.
Dr. T. B. Bush is one of the ris
ing young physicians of this sec
tion. He keeps thoroughly up on
the scientific researches of his pro
fession, and is conceded to be up
to-date in medical literature. Hiß
practice is constantly extending,
and his reputation both as a sur
geon and physician is one that he
should feel justly proud of.
The Mayor’s and Councilman
election is billed for next Monday,
but so far there are no candidates.
The honors will necessary have to
be thrust on the self-sacrificing pa
triots of the city, if any can be
found willing to wear them. It is
unfortunate for the town that our
citizens do not take interest in the
municipal affairs of the city gov
ernment.
Maj. W. E. Simmons returned
from New York “the day before
Christmas” with a very substantial
Christmas gift in his pocket iu the
shape of an increased salary for
this year from his Eastern clients.
The Major ha 9 won the confidence
of those whom he represents by
hard work and strict attention to
business, and richly deserves his
increased salary.
The little folks had a mighty
nice time at a sociable gathering
tendered them by Col. and Mrs.
Oscar Brown at their home last
Frid.ay evening. Those present
were Misses Agnes Haslett, Tom

Cain and Vera Webb. Masters Dan
Byrd, Fred Byrd, Damer Hodges,

A wreck caused by running the
engine off the end of the road at
Loganville was one of the Christ
mas events iu the enterprising lit
tle city of Loganville. The engin
eer probably thought he was on the
main line, pulling the throttle of
the vestibule, and wa9 not due to
stop at Logauville. Not much dam
age done, but the engineer will
know better next time.
Reese Townley, son of T. P.
Town ley, happened to a painful
accident last week, while out hunt
ing. In changing his gun from
one shoulder to the other it slipped
from his grasp and fell, sticking
the muzzle into the ground, and
as he withdrew it the gun fired,
the whole load entering his foot.
While the wound is very painful,
nothiug serious is apprehended.
The News-Herald for 1899 is
going to do its full duty toward
Lawrenceville and Gwinnett coun
ty, and expects in return a liberal
support from all sections of the
county, especially from the busi
ness men of Lawrenceville. If
they do not avail themselves of
our advertising space, we will be
forced to place it with the live
merchants of surrounding towns.
We call attention to the adver
tisement in this issue of the Alex
ander Seed Co., of Augusta, Ga.
For 25 years they have studied th#
adaptability of seeds to southern
climate, and their seeds are known
to be reliable. Every variety of
garden, field and flower seeds can
be had of them. Their forty-page
illustrated catalogue for 1899 gives
valuable information, with price*
of every variety of seeds. If you
haven’t it already, send for it.
Monday morning Bob Whit
worth called at the store of G. W.
& A. P. Cain to see his friend
C. C. Craig, one ot the popular
clerks at that store. Mr. Wash
Cain informed Bob that Cliff had
joined the Methodist conference,
and had gone off to fill his ap
pointment early Sunday morning,
and had not returned. Monday
night Cliff returned from Grant
ville, wealing a broad and happy
smile, as if his first day iu his
new field was a complete success.
The lands sold at public outcry
Tuesday brought exceedingly low
prices, consideriug it was Gwinnett
soil. The Burson land in Harbins
district, 262 acres, was bought by
Col. R.W. Peeples for $499. We
suppose Wynn is going to start a
colony down there, judging from
this extensive purchase. The Bar
ker estate was bought ns by A: M-
Baxter, C. H. Brand and F. M
Hughes, divided into four sections,
at prices ranging from about $8
to $7 per acre.

Dr. J. C. Harris, of Suwanee,

Professional card always appears

so that those who run may read.
He is liberal, progrssive, a schol
ar and a gentleman, and his prac
tice is ever extending. Few men
in his profession enjoy to such a
degree the confidence and love of
his clients as does Doctor Harris.
The Doctor could go to the legis

were it not that his clients would
interpose such strenuous objec
tions on account of losing his
professional services.

A Seem Wedding
During the holidays a wedding
was solemnized in this county that
is being kept a profound secret by
thp contracting parties.
Just why this is being done is not
known. The names of the parties
have been ascertained by the edit
or, but in deference to the urgent
request of the happy bridegroom
are withheld for the present from
publication.
The parties are prominent, and
when their names are made known
the fact of their marriage will cre
ate surprise, if not a sensation, in
the community in which they live.

Mrs. Sidney G. Smith, who is
sueing R. O. Medlock in the City
court to recover insurance money
which she alleges is being wrong
fully withheld from her, and
whose suit was dismissed by Judge
Winn at the last term ot the City

her counsel, to reinstate the case
at the , next term of this court.
She alleges sickness in her family
as the reason why she did not ap

sent an affidavit to that effect to
her counsel, Col. Allen Fort, at
Americus. Col. Fort had left for
Lawrenceville, hence did not get
the letter containing the affidavit,
and was at a loss to know why hi. !

The outcome ol this litigation |
will be watched with interest, as j
the case has excited a great deal'

A Literary Club.
For some time the writer has
been discussing the organization
of a literary club There is no
doubt that, a step in this direction
would prove to be of great impor-J
tance. Who has something to bujb
gest on this line ? Why not
a meeting of those who would like
ly become interested in such a
work and elect the necessary of
ficers, then agree upon such work
as will serve for the best interest
of those desirous of familiarizing
themselves with the ideas of oth
ers.
Say we would meet bi-monthly,
or oftener if preferred. For each
meeting we could have a program
consisting of recitations, address
es, also have some biographical
sketches prepared of those who
have become famous.
The above is merely suggested
to have others consider and dis
cuss such a move, and find if such
woiild meet with the approbation
of a sufficient, number to make it
interesting* Those wishing to take
part in such work will please
meet at the College Qliupef next
Tuesday evening ut 7:80 6’cdopk.

HERRINGTON DIES.
Succumbs tc His Woundi.— Emmett King
and M. W. Bates Held For Invol
untary Manslaughter.
Green Herrington, who was
stabbed in a difficulty in the Clack
neighborhood, 4 miles north-east
of town, some 12 weeks ago, died
of his wounds Dec. 27th.
Emmett King is the man who in
flicted the fatal wound, his knife
blade penetrating one of Herring
ton’s lungs. M. W, Bates is held
as accessory.
The Coroner was notified of
Herrington’s death and held an
inquest over his remains, the jury
returning the following verdict:
We, the jury, find Emmett King
guilty of involuntary manslaugh
ter, with M. W. Bates as accesso
ry. W. D. Chesser, Foreman.
D. F. Russell, D. 0. Fountain, F.
C. Davis, J. O. Davis, L. M Whit
lock, jurymen.
Immediately after the verdict,
Coroner Hadaway issued warrants
for the arrest of King and Bates,
and placed them in the hands of
Sheriff Haslett.
As soon as he heard a warrant
was out for him Bates came in and
surrendered, making a bond for
his preliminary heariug, set for
today (Thursday). King has also
surrendered and made bond, and
his case will also be heard today.
Both men claim they will be
ablo to come clear of the charges
against them. Col. Tyler M. Pee
ples and Col. R W. Peeples have
been retained as their counsel.
It is claimed that Herrington
before he died made a sworn affida
vit exhonorating King from all
blame, and in which he says King
acted in self-defense.
It seems that the whole crowd
had met on the Sunday of the fa
tal stabbing and were drinking

B»n th. Kind You Have Always Bought
The 014 Soes Out—The New Comes In.
On Monday Mr. A. W. Moore
filed his bond, took the oath of of
fice and is now fully inducted as
Gwinnett’s new Tax Collector, a
position which he will fill satisfac
torily to al! concerned. He is a
man of sterling character, and his
friends in Gwinnett are legion.
The retiring Collector, Mr. C. A.
Fleming, surrenders tne office with
a clean record, and with a con
sciousness of having performed his
duty well. No Tax Collector in
the state, we dare say, can show a
better record than can Charley
Fleming—and that record speaks
not only for him but for Gwinnett
county. Notwithstanding the pre
vailing cry of “hard times,” he has
gathered in the taxes so closely
that less than S7OO of property tax
remain unpaid, out of a total of
near $40,000. This is a remarka
ble showing, when we take into
consideration that counties around
us are behind away up in the thous
ands. It is reported that $28,000
remains unpaid in Hall county
alon u . To col let up the taxes so
cloudy in our county Bhows two
things very plainly, to wit: That
Gwinnett is indeed an “Empire
coun’y.” and that Charley Flem
ing is a fine officer.
Whatever criticism that might
have been offered against him, we
dare sav grew out of the perform*
uuoe of liis duty, which nftimes
elicits adverse comments from
tongues ever ready to speak evil in
stead of good.
The Nows-Hera Id’s best wishes

Do Not Give Up in De

for ages it has been thought
that Cancer is incurable, and

as Cancer, the disease would be
gotten rid of, and the patient re

knife accomplishes nothing, for
the Cancer promptly returns,and is
always more virulent than before.
It hits been demonstrated, beyond
doubt, that Cancer is a blood disease,

knife because the blood can not be cut

General Debility

Scott's Emulsion has been the
standard remedy for nearly a
quarter of a century. Physicians
readily admit that they obtain re
sults from it that they cannot get
from any other flesh-forming food.
There are many other prepara

to do what
SCOTT'S
EMULSION
does, but they fail to perform it.
The pure Norwegian Cod-liver Oil
