OCAL ZtSTETWS.
Mr. H. E. Edwards, ror popular I
depot ageut, will visit friends in !
the far west during May. “Dick"
is one of the oldest employees ol j
the Seaboard, and we are reliably
informed that he stands at the
head of the rack with the Seaboard
officials.
One of the teachers in the City ;
school was up before the Board of
Education last week for correcting
one of the pupilj. After an iuves- i
tigation, the teacher was exhon
orated, and the obstreperous pupil
has been withdrawn from school
by his parents.
There seems to be no disposition
on the part of our leading farmers
for a fair this fall, nor for making
an exhibit of Gwinnett’s resources
at the State fair. The backward
season has convinced everybody
that this is to be a year of hard
work, with little play.
Dr. W. J. Rowe, of Buford, was
here Monday. While he reported
that smallpox in a mild form ex
isted in his city, he stated that
there was no alarm felt and the
excitement had about died out.
Twc or three new cases developed
this week, but none of the pa
tients are dangerously ill.
Judge John P. Webb ig proving
to be one of our most wide-awake
and progressive citizens. He has
been adding greatly to the appear
ance of his residence and premises
on Mechanic street by the appli
cation of paint, building new
fences, etc. His residence looks
real nobby since it is dressed in
its coat of white.
Mr. J D. Wallace has torn away
the old eye-sore on Clayton street
near the Seaboard depot, and is
erecting in its stead a neat modern
cottage. He is also preparing to
build a store house on the corner
next to the depot. He is entitled
to the thanks of the town for his
enterprising spirit, and the tearing
away of that old building.
Mr. C. U. Born having recently
severed his connection with the
Lawrenceville Branch Railroad, is
now connected with his brother,
Dr. M. A. Born, iu the manufact
ure of “Born’s Consumption Cure.”
“Little Bud” proposes to put the
proper life in this business, which,
together with the already famous
reputation of their medicine, is
sufficient assurance of it being
handled on a large scale.
The “Lawrenceville Orchestra”
has been organized in our city,
with the following members:
‘•Oscar Brown, Gus Shackelford,
Bob Robinson, Will Pentecost,
Tyler Peeples, Vic Hutchins and
Jack Poe. The boys will begin
practicing at once to be in voice
for the spring picnics. They will
also furnish music for the laying
of the corner stone of the Baptist
church, which takes place April
26th.
Mr. J. W. Butler, of the Chat
tanooga Plow Co., gave us a pleas
ant call Tuesday. Mr. Butler is
a native of Gwinnett county, hav
ing been born in Harbins district.
He moved away when he was only
10 years of age, and has since re
sided in Tennessee. Temporarially
he is living now at Barnesville
and is educating his children at
Gordon Institute. Mr. Butler is
a tine gentleman of the old school,
and is prond of Gwinnett, ' his
native county.
Hr. Thomai Says He It Not Insane.
Lawrenceville, April 24. — To
my friends in Gwinnett Coun y:
There appeared a very humiliating
item in The News-Herald against
me last week. I had just reasou
for leaving home; reasons I don’t
care to state in the paper. I start
ed to see my father in North Ala
bama, as I was unpleasant at
home. Wasu’t able to travel, and
learning that my friends in Gwin
nett were uneasy about me, I re
turned to Lawrenceville, Some
have stated I left for debt; not
true. I intend to pay all I owe
in this county just as soon as 1
can. lam willing under any and
all circumstances to do what I
couoeive to be the right.
Respectfully,
W. H. Thomas.

Death of Mrs. H. W Sexton.
Mrs. H. W. Sexton, better known
as Aunt Margaret, died at her
home four miles east of Lawrence
ville Saturday, April Bth, after a
short illness. The body was in
terred at old Prospect cemetery on
Monday, before a large concourse
of relatives and friends. Aunt
Margaret was well advanced in
years—perhaps about 80. She was
the mother of four children, two
daughters and two sons. One son
and the two daughters preceded
her to the spirit land, She leaves
behind one sou and an aged hus
band to mourn after her, who have
the sincere sympathy of all who
know them.
I have known Aunt Margaret
since I can remember. A better
woman never lived. I have al
ways loved her. Many times when
I was a little bov I have eat upon
her knees and heard her tell “the
old, old story of Jesus and His
love.” But Aunt Margaret is no
longer among us. She has reached
the end of her journey. She was a
faitbfpl member of the M. E.
church,South, at old Prospect, and
loved her church, her family and
all good people. I thank God
for my own satisfaction that Aunt
Margaret is today clothed with a
spiritual body like unto Christ,
resting, sweetly rosting in the
Heavenly throng. Thank God for
the memory of this good woman.

On Thursday afternoon of last
week the peace and quietude of our
peaceful neighborhood was very
much disturbed by two drunken,
or rather drinking, men, John L.
and Thomas .J. Toler, going to the
home of Mr. H. T. Perry and act
ing in a most disorderly and law
less manner, cursing and abusing
Mr. Perry and his family in the
presence of his wife and children,
usiug the most profane and inde
corous language to be imagined.
They were ordered to leave at once,
but refused to do so, and threat
ened to kill Mr. Perry, and at
tempted to execute their threats,
but were prevented from carrying
them out by the timely use of a
good stick in the hands of Mr.
Perry, which brought both of the
intruders to the ground. Still
they refused to leave, and con
tinued to curse and abuse Mr.
Perry until the neighbors were
sent for to come and carry them
away. Justice J. O. Perry vas
sent for and warrants were issued
for the arrest of those lawless men
and placed iu the hands of the
proper officers, whose duty it is to
arrest such people, but for some
cause or other no arrests have yet
been made, and the men are still
at liberty, right here in this com
munity. This is the second time
that one of these men have goue
to Mr. Perry’s home and abused
him that way without auy cause
whatever, and it vrill be the same
thing over again the first time they
get to drinking unless they are ar
rested and dealt with according to
law. We have laws to protect our
homes and our women from such
characters, and they should be en
forced to the full extent Mr.
Perry wants protection. He is
one of the most honorable and up
right men in Waltoy county. He
is a good neighbor, and has al
ways tried to live at peace with
his fellow man, and justice de
mands that he be protected from
such outrages.
