along now. We need it, and can’t

Work of Incendiaries •
D. P. Moore aud Iverson Barns,
living near Caleb, in this county,
had their cotton houses burned to
the ground one night last week, to
gether with their contents. The
fires were undoubtedly caused by
the torch of some incendiary, and
there is considerable excitement in
the neighborhood over the matter.
If the guilty party is caught up
with he will be made to suffer the
extreme penalty of the law.
Mr. Moore, it will be remem
beaed, figured in the attempted ar
rest of George Echols, who was
killed in resisting the officer, and
it is thought that these burnings
may be the work of some of Mr.
Moore’s enemies through a spirit
of revenge.
A dais Reported.
Maud, Ga., Feb. 9, 1899.—T ela
•McWilliams, of this town, states
that her grandmother has been
taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and
says it is the best medicine money
can buy. Before she began its
use she was a perfect skeleton, but
Bhe has gained in health aud her
appetite, which was poor, has re
turned. Thousands of people are
praising Hood’s Sarsaparilla for
the good it has done them.
Solicitor Brand’s Popularity-
No solicitor in Georgia is more
popular with the masses than is
Solicitor Charlie Brand. He is
clever, polite, friendly with every
body, and has a smooth, even
temper, yet he is fearless in the
discharge of his duty in the prr.se
cution of crime. He is one of the
few men who can vigorously pros
ecute a person and yet the person
will not become offended. Solic
itor Brand treats all men alike in
the sight of the law, matters not
the station of life. He represents
the state as faithfully against one
of the richest and most influential
citizens as he would the humblest
darky. There is no doubt of Char
lie Brand making an enviable reo- j
ord as prosecuting attorney for
this circuit. —Jackson Herald,

Child Burned to Death at Auburn.
Our correspondent informs us
that a negro woman at Auburn
locked her little child in the house
and went away, and. during her
absence the house was burned
down, the child perishing iir the
llames. Such accidents are alto
gether too frequent, hut there
seems to be no remedy.
Foul play was suspected, and
Coroner Wilson was summoned to
the scene to investigate ths mat
ter. After summoning a jury and
hearing the evidence of several
negroes, no blame could be attach
ed to any one, and the jury re
turned a verdict that the child
met its death from accidental
burning.

Another E&ilroad in Prospect.
A movement is on foot in rail
road circles, we learn, looking to
the extension of the E & W. rail
road from Carterßville, Ga.,toa
connection with the Seaboard Air
Line. In order to do this, it is
quite probable that the line will
be run through Cherokee on or
near one of the old surveys from
Cartersville to the east. —Canton
Advance.
In event the E. & W. It’y. is ex
tended, as above outlined, it will
more than likely tap the S. A. L.
at Lawrenceville. This is the nat
ural place, the gateway, for all
railroads to center, and it would
not surprise us one bit to see the
E. & W. extended to this point
withiu the next year or two The
business men of Lawrenceville
should appoin. a committee to
confer with the E. <fc W. people in
regard to this very important mat
ter.
A Reminiscence gs Ohanotllomille.
War was the theme in the ro
tunda when Hoii. William E.Sim
mons told this one:
“When we were going into the
battle of Chancellorsville.” said
he, “a drove of wild turkeys flew
up between the battle lines, and
‘Bob’ Moore, in my command,
stopped firing at the r-uemy long
enough to kill one of the turkeys.
‘Bob’ was a capital shot and a
good fellow.
“I remember how bloody the
fight was that day,” said Colonel
Bill. “We lost 500 men killed
out of my brigade. I lost twenty
seven men out of my company of
thirty-two.
“Our brigade at Chancellors
villo,” added the colonel, “lost
more men in a few hours than
were killed on our side in the
whole late Spanish-American war.
That war was simply a little skir
mish compared to the warm days
between ’6l and ’64.”
Colonel Simmons’ good angel
was with him at Chancellorsville.
He got fourteen bullet holes thro’
his clothes, but none through his
person.—Atlanta Journal.
K. 0. I WINS AND a. L. WEBB.
These two enterprising young
men are running a first-class store
in Lawrenceville for Mrs. Austin
Webb at the Webb & McGee old
stand, and we predict that they
will have a fine trade. In the first
place, they do not buy auythiug
except for the spot cash, and there
fore can sell you goods cheaper
than those who buy on time. M rs.
Webb bought the interest of Mr.
Webb in the Webb & McGee stock
at a big discount, and can sell you
clothing, shoes, hats and dry goods
as cheap as any man in Lawrence
ville can buy them. They also
have a large wagon-yard in the rear
ot their store for the accommoda
tion of their customers, and a
man’s horse need not stay hitched
ip the rain wheu he comes to town.
Just tell either of them and they
will show you where to put him.
They say they are going to pay the
highest market price for country
produce, and in our opinion they
are going to make the older mer
chants of Lawrenceville open their
eyes. When you come to Law
reuceville come down to see them.
You will find them just two doors
from this office. They handle ev
erything a farmer needs.

Lost Their Beer After All.
Deputy Collector John Ware
raided an illicit distillery in Gwin
nett county during the cold spell
last week, and his destruction of
the moonshiner’s outfit has a hu
morous side to it that his deputies
relate.
The night was so intensely cold,
it is said, that extra efforts had to
be made by the distillers to keep
the beer from freezing.
The collector and his‘men view
ed the operations of the moon
shiners for awhile without being
observed. They saw them heating
rooks at a big fire and dropping
them in the fermenting vats.
The collector stepped in. Ho
placed his hand upon the shoulder
of an uncouth fellow, whose sur
prise kuew no bounds, and said:
“Never mind, boys; I’ll make it
hot enough for you.”
The revenue leader then pro
ceeded to take possession of the
premises and its operators, and
withiu a short time the steaming
beer was flowing in rivulets down
the hill, while the equipment met
a smash-up from the repeated
blows of his axe.—Atlanta Jour

Accidental Death
Little Clyde, the 22-montha-old
son of Mr. C. A. Fleming, met a
sad and sudden death last Friday
evening. The mother of the little
boy had been suffering with sick
headache, and was taking yellow
jessamine, in liquid form, to allay
the pain. In taking a dose just
abcut supper tims Friday evening,
she placed the bottle on the table
and went to another part of the
house for a moment. Little Clyde,
seeing his mother had partaken of
the medicine, took the bottle, and
turning it up to his mouth, swal
lowed a mouthful of the deadly
drug.
When the mother returned to
the room she discovered that the
child had took the medicine, and
at once gave the alarm. Mr. Flem
ing hastily summoned, through a
neighbor, the family physicians,
Drs. Mitchell & Rush, blit in a
short time after their arrival the
little fellow passed into the quiet,
and eternal sleep that knows no
awakening for mortal flesh. With
iu 15 minutes after the lotion was
in the stomach little Clyde was
beyond the ken of human aid, and
all efforts of his father and moth
er to keep him awake proved fu
tile.
On Sunday his body was interred
in the new cemetery, beneath the
frozen ■ arth and the white mantle
of snow that covered the ground.
Little Clyde was the idol of fond
and loving parents, and his sudden
and unexpected death was sad and
pathetic. The heartfelt sympa
thies of all Lawrenceville go out
to the father and mother in their
bereavement.
Nine Degrees Below Zero.
The blizzard held Lawrenceville
in its tenacious grasp Monday
morning.
Four inches of snow covered the
ground and the mercury at 6 o’-
clock registered nine degrees below
zero.
The wind blew almost a hurri
cane from the ice-covered peaks of
the west, and the day was alto
gether one to be remembered for
its unpleasantness.
The blizzard extended all over
the west and south, and from every
quarter of these sections comes
news of suffering aud death.
The south was illy prepared for
such rigorous weather, and many
cases of extreme suffering were re
ported to the police of the cities.
In Atlanta the Journal started
relief wagons and began raising
funds to aid the sufferers at an
early hour Mondvy morning, and
by night had extended the hand
of true Christianity to over 400
freezing aud starving people. The
Journal is a big-hearted, noble pa
per, reflecting the generous im
pulses of its philanthropbic and
golden-hearted editors and man
agers Would that there were
more such papers in this cold old
world.
In Lawrenceville many were
caught unprepared for the emer
gency and had to suffer the stings
of the frost-king. There being no
coal or wood-yard in the town,
those without fuel had to suffer,as
they could neither buy nor borrow
the coveted coal or wood that was
wont to drive away the bleakness
of the blizzard and bring cheerful
ness to the hearthstone
In the memory of the oldest in
habitant the day was the coldest
that they had ever experienced.
The narrow-guage railroad was
frozen up and did not run trains to
Suwanee Monday. Trains on all
roads were delayed.
As we go to press the warm sun
shine has dissipated the frost and
the snow, aud the blizzard has ta
ken his flight to other climes.
Once more the gentle warmth of
the spring zephry fans our cheeks,
aud the song of the birds greets the
ear. The frogs have resumed their
nightly lays, and the approach of
spring is bearalded by the redolent
perfume of guano that is wafted
on every passing breeze. The bliz
zard is a thing of the past. Let
us give welcome to gentle spring.

Ths Spring Fights.
Just as the tail-end of the great
blizzard was disappearing in the
east Wednesday night the spring
fights opened up in lively fashion
in Lawrenceville.
Within the space of one hour six
beligorents had “locked horns,”
but without material damage.
This friction was brought about
by blind tiger liquor that hhd been
brought to towu by two “tiges”
and peddled out promiscuously.
City Marshal Brown pulled Frank
Elliott on the charge of tigeing,
and he will have to answer iu the
courts for the same. The other
“tiger” has not yet. been apprehen
ded.
All the beligereuts were cited to
appear before Mayor Brown, and
at his matinee to be held to-day,
the depleted exchequer of the
city treasury will doubtless be re
plenished.

To Lecture on Cuba.
Postmaster Cole is in receipt of
a letter from his son, Robert Lee
Cole, who is a member of the 81st
Michigan Regiment, now stationed
at Rodrigo, Cuba, in which he
states that when he returns to
Lawrenceville he will give a lect
ure on Cuba.
Bob says the weather over there
is hotter than he ever felt in Law
renceville, hut that his health is
good.
He states that the Cubans are
starving, and every day they line
up before their camps to get the
scraps left by the soldiers at meal
time.
Bob seems to be having a good
time; goes in bathing once a day,
and gets plenty of tropical fruits
to eat, and sugar at his own price.
He writes to his father every week
and his letters are quite interest
ing.
The news that Bob is to go on
the lecture platform will be re
ceived with satisfaction by his nu
merous acquaintances in Gwinnett,
and no doubt when he makes his
debut before the footlights will be
greeted by a full house.
The only trouble will be to get a
hall large enough to hold all who
will want to hear Bob’s narratives
of Cuban life and the customs of
the peoplo he is now closely study
ing. Should he not return till
summer probably the lecture will
be given iu the open air, either in
the court hoiiße square or at Pee*
pies’ Park.
An effort will be made to got
the Lawrenceville Branch Rail
road to run a special train on that
day to accommodate Bob’s Bu
ford friends, who will want to hear
his lecture.

The young men of this commu

and best organized country de
bating societies to be found in the
state. “The Ciceronian Debating
Club” was organized about six
years ago by the young men of this
community, and they have kept
the society well organized snd in
good working order from that time
until now Their meeting togeth
er from week to week during this
long space of time will show that
they went into it with a determi
nation to succeed, and their min
utes will show that many interest
ing subjects have been warmly dis
cussed by the boys- They have a
nice hall which they built for tiiem
selves. They have had several
public entertainments in the past
which show the true worth of such
an organization. The young men
deserves much credit for their ef
forts and success on this line, and
we expect to see its benefits show
themselves in gome of our future
statesmen. The society seems to
be taking on new life this spring,
