While searching through the old papers left by his father, Es quire Anderson H. Spence came across the other day one of the oldest records of Gwinnett county, it being a book of 848 pages con taining the minutes of the Infe rior court from 1820 to 1882. The book is well preserved and the penmanship excellent, show ing the officers in that day to be of a high standard and well edu cated. Many incidents hearing upon the early history of Gwinnett county are recorded in this old book, and from time to time dur ing this year the News-Herald will give them in detail. Mr. Spence prizes the book highly, but will give it to the County Commissioners, as it prop erly belongs to the archives of the county, having been over-looked by Judge D. W. Spence, who was at one time in life a Judge of the Inferior court before the war. I have the finest lot of Mules ever brought to this market. They are sleejc and fat.

His company makes a fine grade of guano, and Mr. Sasser is meeting with much suc cess in placing its merits before the farmers and planters of Gwin nett county. OASTORIA.

Judge Hutchins denied the pe tition of Forsyth for a new trial, thereupon her counsel filed a bill of exceptions and the case is being carried to the Supreme court. A cross-bill of exceptions in volving questions not brought out in the record as filed by Forsyth county’s attorneys was made up by Maj. W. E. Simmons and filed by the attorneys for Gwinnett county, so that, when the case is passed upon by the Supreme court, they also will have to be consid ered. There is hardly a doubt 1 ut that the Supreme court will sustain the verdict of the lower court. OABTOHI A. Btara the y»ThC Kind You Have Always Bought What Miles Ewing Lost by Not Living in Paris, A Frenchman recently left 8,000 francs to be given to the man who was the father of the largest fam ily in Paris, a condition of the legacy being that the children should have been properly cared for and brought up by their pa* rents.

Ewing, of Lawrence ville, is the father of seventeen children, all living, and all hale and beaity—seven girls and ten | hoys.

L. Hutchins, Jr., presided. After the exercises were over Mr. Hutchins announced that a public reception would be given at the Ambrose liouge, where the entire congregation repaired and spent several hours most pleasantly. Miss Mary Hutchins, president of the organization, deserves much praise for the creditable manner in which the programme was ar ranged. Less than six months ago sever al of our young ladies became in terested in such a work, whrih re sulted in the election of the neces sary officers, and since that time they have done a very progressive work.

The watch-word of our people this year should be, “make more and spend less.” The great curse of our country is the credit system.
