With the weight of official cares lifted from his shouldiers, Judge Ijlutchins must feel a sweet relief, after his sixteen years of service as Judge of the circuit.

BY virtue of an order from the court of Ordinary of Gwinnett county, will be sold on Friday, the 13th day of January, 1899, at the former business house of Webb & McGee, in the town of Lawrenceville, in said county, within the legal hours of sale, to the highest bidder, the following described personal property, to-wit: The share ot the estate of Austin Webb in the former stock of Webb & McGee, which has been divided by ap praisers, consisting of Diy Goods, Notions, Clothing, Shoes, Hats, Hardware, Tinware, Glassware, Crockery, Groceries, Store Fixtures, Etc.

McGEE, Administrator. Judge Webb went down to Uncle Jeff Britt’s Wednesday on his an nual pilgrimage to meet the Con 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 mie Moore, Bessie Hodges, Mattie Cain and Vera Webb. Masters Dan Byrd, Fred Byrd, Damer Hodges, Walter Cain, Cleve Webb aud Al ver Moore. 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. CABTOIIIA.

He aud his sons have re cently come among us, bought property, and are doing their might in the upbuilding of our town and section. They are thoroughgoing mechanics and un derstand their business from the ground up. Give them a call, for they are good people and deserve a liberal share of the patronage iu their line. In this issue will be found ad vertisements of Bradwell Academy and Lawrenceville City School. These are two of the county’s best educational institutions, the form er under the able management of Prof. Dußose having attained a high rank. Prof. Bagwell’s repu tation as an organizer and tutor has been well sustained in the City School here, aud the new year promises to be one of great success to him and his able assistants. Lawrenceville is proud of her City School. Dr. J. C. Harris, of Suwanee, has the editor’s thanks for a kind ly remembrance in the shape of the “needful” of the kind that makes us think this cry of “hard times” all a myth, the Doctor’s Professional card always appears in his county pape. as a sign board, 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 lature any time he says the word, were it not that his clients would interpose such strenuous objec tions on account of losing his professional services. Rutledge & Clower have moved their entire stock of goods into the commodious store room just vaca ted by G. M • Brand, who in turn movod to the King corner, now owned by Mr. A. T. Patterson. J. H. McGee has moved his half of the stock of Webb & McGee to the stand vacated by Rutledge & Clower where he will continue bus iness. The stock belonging to the Webb estate is to be closed out at auction to the highest bidder on Jan. 17th, at Administrator’s sale. With these changes Lawrence ville’s mercantile business men settles down to its normal equilib rium and all our business men expect to do an increased business during the year. This they can do if they uso printer’s ink judicious ly. The big circulation of The News-Herald can draw trade to Lawrenceville if ourmerchauts will put their shoulders to the wheel and do their part of the work. We stand ready to do ours, and move the wagon along at a safe rate of speed, if they wiil furnish the axle grease. We have the wag on—they must do the greasing.

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. Card From Col- Brown Mb.

She alleges sickness in her family as the reason why she did not ap pear at the December term, and 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. ! client diil not appear at the trial. j The outcome ol this litigation | will be watched with interest, as j the case has excited a great deal' of talk throughout the county,! owing to the prominence of Mr. Medlock and the serious charges contained in the bill as filed by Mrs. Smith. 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.

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 blind-tiger liquor and gambling, when a dispute arose between Her rington and King, and a general row ensued, in which Herrington was cut with a knife in the hand of King, It is said Bates told King to cut Herrington. The whoP affair will be thor oughly investigated by the next grand jury. The hearing of the cases has been continued till next Tuesday, when Judge Langley and Judge A. H. Spence will hear the testimony as a court of inquiry. Latek —A warrant has been is sued for McGinnis, who is charged with beipg an accessory to the killing. OA.BTOIIIA. 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.
