We will show the largest subscription list for March in the history of tho paper. _ Go to J. H. McGee’s to buy your clothing. It seems that the grand jury has plenty to do. Farmers, don’t plow your land w hen it is to wet. 16 new pupils entered the City school last Monday. Judge Melton, of Monroe, is here with his liniment. Mr McElroy as foreman is doing diligent work in the grand jury. City school continues to im- prove. There are 165 pupils en rolled . Why shouldn’t the grand jury recommend a clock for the court house ? The candidates are all here making plans for the comiug po litical campaign. Jefferson has recently organized a brass band. What’s the matter with Lawrenceville ? Mr. J. B. Moore, of Auburn, is here studying law under Col*J. A. B. Mahaffey.—Jackson Herald. Money! Money !

E. S. Brooks. Mr. John G. Loveless, of Daeii la, brought the News-Herald, oh yesterday, a large turnip which weighed 7 pounds. Gwinnett county is to be com mended for the intelligence of its jurors. The present jurors, both on the grand and traverse jury, are all good citizeus. 'V Solicitor Brand gets no leisure at all during court. If he isn’t busy in the court hotise, there are always plenty of people who waut to see him at his office. We are going to revise our sub scription list the first of April. If you don’t waut your paper stop ped and your account turned over for collection, you had better pay up at once. I have by far the nic--st stock ’Bf clothing I have ev-.-r had. My customers know what that will ~vine.au. J. H’. McGee. It seems that Mr T. L. Am brose is determined to quit the hotel and mercantile business. Tom is a good fellow, and hi- ac tivity in a busiuess way will be a loss to Lawrenceville. It will be impossible to tell how many oeusus enumerators there will be for this county, till the county is divided into census dis tricts. The census and militia districts may he the same, or they may not. iMoney ! Money ! To lend to farmers on approved note, at BauK of Lawrenceceville. W . M . Sasser, Cashier. The following gentlemen were among the visiting attorneys here this week: E. W. Born, D. K. Johnston, Norcross; T. J. Shack leford, Athens; Norton of Litho uia; Richard Glenn, Decatur; Simnfous, of Atlanta, and Burton Cloud, of Buford. On last Sunday the pastor of the Methodist church, Rev. T. J. \V%rlicb, announced the following accessions to his church: Dr. Conway, his wife and five chil dren, Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Brooks, Mrs. J. A. Perry, Mrs. H. E. Ed wards, Miss Lucile LaHatte, and Prof. C. R. Ware. Gratified, indeed, are we that our friend and former schoolmate, James A. Bagwell, has been elect- school commissioner of Gwinnett county. Jim was one the brightest, as well as one of the best boys, we were associated with, and we predrct that he will make one of the b st commissioners of any county in Georgia.— Jackson Herald. A. P. Cain’s residence was bur glari*tfd last Sunday night. It seems that the entire family was away from home and his cook took advantage of the opportunity to lay in a supply of wearing appar el. The matter is now before the grand jury and there can be no 1 doubt as to her being duly pun ished. Our almost continuous burglaries should be promptly in vestigated, which will tend to di minish the offense. If you waut a strictly up-to ;date custom made suit call on 1.1. H, McGee. J. N. Brogdon is going to be in the race for Tax Receiver. His I name was omitted last week by | mistake. I am proud of my new stock of clothing. If you will buy a suit of it you will be too J.H. McGee.

The Walton Tribune in this week’s issue publishes in full our editorial on the White primary. Thanks for your indorsement "of our position, Bro. McNelley. CLOTHING! CLOTHING 1 I have just received my spring stock. Cali and examine it. J. H. McGee. Judge R. B. Russel, Solicitor C. H. Brand and Jas. A Bagwell dined at the Lawrenceville Hotel on Tuesday by special invitation of Dr. Conway. The horse-swappers come in droves. If President Dougbtery, of Atlanta, was here he would have no trouble in securing a flattering adieuce for a speech. What has become of the Egypt tiau camps that used to throng the near by groves ? We also miss the little skwee, skwee entertain ments that were so pre minent here a few courts ago. Yesterday two brothers, D. 0. and J. J. McDaniel, who are old confederate soldiers, were sitting on the court yard fence. Oue had lost his arm in the war the other his leg’. Hon. R. E. Park, of Macon, who is a candidate for State Treasurer, is in town today, Mr, Park is a prominent nian, and well known over th 6 state, and will make an excellent officer if elected. Hon. Nathaniel Bennett is out spoken against the high prices of guano. He says the farmers can’t afford to pay such prices,and he is right. Leave the stuff alone, and make your own fertilizers. Mr. McElroy says with refer ence to his being in she senatorial race, “I have most decided to en ter the race, having had assurance from many sections of strong sup port, and should I announce it means an honorable and clean race from start to finish. The following visiting brethren were present at the last communi cation of Lawrenceville Lodge No. 131, F, & A. M. on Tuesday eve ning: Judge R. B. Russell, G. A. Clement, A. A. Martin, G. Legg, F. M. Buchanan, R. C Oz mer, J. 11. Parks, R. M, Smith, W. M. Hunnicutt. All the candidates are here. 1 lon. G. A. Clements is at the head of the gang. Mr. Clements states positively that he will announce for the Legislature very soon. With his entry, together with Mr. Juhan’s, which is a practical cer tainly this part of the part of the field will be crowded. The remains of Mr. Pearl Mc- Daniel, sou of Mr. and Mrs. S. P. McDaniel, who died at Guautani nio de Cuba, were brought here and interred at the new cemetery Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Mc- Daniel died in the service of the U. S. Army at the above place more than a year ago. He was one of the first to volunteer when the Spanish-American war was de clared, and made a faithful sol dier. His death was the result of an attack of fever. We extend our symdathy to the bereaved family. At the entrance of Dr. Winn’s old drug store there is a large marble slab, which has been used as a stepping stone for many years. Last week, someone turn ed the slab over and found the following inscription: “Be neath this marble rests in peace ful hope the body of John Lucus a deciple of the blessed Jesus. He was born in Curry county, Va., Jan. 11, 1765. Immigrated to Georgia in 1796. Joined the Meth odist church in Oct. 1802, and left this world Oct. Ist, 1831, in full assurance of possessing a mansion in the House, not made with hands. His faith rested en tirely ou the promises and atone ment, a dying, risen and interced ing Jesus; and produced in him, its uniform fruits, holiness of life, peace of soul, and joy in the holy ghost, and ultimately death full of immortal hope.” TO THE FARMERS. Plailt enough corn to do you, and then put in all the cotton you can possibly cultivate, —put it in the garden, fence comers and back yard. The price will open up at 7/ or more next fall. This will net you $lO per bale profit. Take my advice, aud plant all jour land in cotton, reserving only enough for your necessary corn. The farmer will make more clear money this year than any year since 1875. Every farmer who has followed my suggestions nas cold cash to his credit in our bank, —every one of them. W. S. WITHAM STOCK SUBSCRIBERS TO MBET MARCH 13th, AT 1 P M. FOR THE PURPOSE OF ORGANIZATION. This is the result of a recent communication from Mr. Witharn. since it was shown that we only need about $2,000 to complete our undertaking of raising $35,000, which amount can easily be gotten up between now aud the date of organization. this news will be received with great interest throughout this sec tion, a 6 a cotton factory in Law renceville means one for each of her neighboring towns. While we are not in a position to start with a mill ot the size of those that other towns have start ed with, yet it is only a question of a short time till this capital will be more than doubled. Those who have taken such an active part in obtaining subscrip tions for this enterprise are to be justly congratulated, for ctrtainly a more up-hill fight has never been experienced in such a move anywhere. The many obstacles which confronted this move were due largely to the unfortunate re sults of the former mill here. This objection could be largely remov ed if the auti-mitl men would in vestigate the cause of the failure. The facts about the failure of the old cotton mill are these: they started with the mill covered by a $40,000 mortgage, and a set of men wholly inexperi enced to operate it. After some time, and with a great loss, they realized their incompetency to promote such a business and they obtained the services of a practical mill man, which resulted in a most satisfactory showing up to the time the mill was de stroyed by fire. With this in view, can anyone fail to uuderstaud the misfortune of the old mill ? That Lawrenceville is on the eve of a great boom, you have only to observe the history of all manu facturing towns for the past ten years. Every subscriber to the Gwinnett Cotton Mills is earnest ly requested to be present on the above date, as there are many questions of vast importance to be passed upon. SUPERIOR COURT CONVENES. Judge Russell organized his third term of court in this county with a masterful charge to the grand jury. After giving the spe cial statute in charge as required by law, he dwelt at length upon the binding oath of a grand ju ror, showing fully the vast impor tune) of a strict compliance with their oaths. •The following gentlemen, each of whom is truly a representative citizen, compose the grand jury for the present term of court: John E.

Key, of Norcross, who owns the right to manufacture and sell the Kyle Hav Press, was in town this week shaking hands with his friends and exhibiting his press, which he claims to be the best, simplest and cheapest press ever invented. This press is certainly what every farmer needs. The price at which it is sold puts it within the reach of every farmer. The work is done expediciously. From three to ten bales can be pressed par hour, making a great saving in time and money, to say nothing of utilizing of room. See this press and order one. At the City School Next Tuesday Night. LeForest Wood, whose lecture here a few weeks ago, so greatly pleased his audience, has been asked to return, and he will lec ture in the Auditorium of the City School on next Tuesday night, March, the 13th.

The Fopulists Keet. Following is a synopsis of pro ceediugs of the Executive Commit tee of the People’s Party of Gwin nett county, March 6th, 1900: The meeting was called to order by the Chairman, and W. M. Jor dan was elected Secretary pro tern. The roll was called aud nearly every district in the county was represented. The following resolutions were offered aud unanimously adopted: Ist. That we reaffirm allegi ance to the principles of the Peo ple’s Party as set forth in the Omaha platform of 1892, and re iterated at St. Louis in 1896, hence commend the bolting members of our national committee atLincolu, Neb , Feb. 19th, 1900, aud pledge them our support. 2. Having been schooled to aid io the maintenance of law aud or der, and to assist in the elevation oi the human race mentally, mor ally aud socially, we believe it to be the duty of all law-abiding cit izens to stand firmly by the insti tution, society or party that has for its cardinal principle the pre vention of crime and the suppres sion of all local, sectional and na tional prejudices. And to this eud we pledge a hearty co-operation with others equally as honest and earnest in their endeavors. Tho committee decided (in view of the fact that it will be but a short lime until the convention meets) to elect delegates to the State ConAentiou, which meets in Atlanta April 10, 1900. The fol lowing delegates were elected and given power to select their own al ternates: W. W. Wilson, W. M. Jordan, John W. Morgan and H. L. Peeples. It was ordered that the Chair man of each district in the county be requested to call a meeting of the People’s Party of his district on or before the 4th Saturday in March for the purposa of electing five men from each district to serve as an Executive Committee for the next two years, and that the new committee be subject to the call ot the present county chairman whenever he thinks the interests of the party demand it. The following motion was made and adopted unanimously: That it is the sense of this meet ing that a County Convention be | called at such a time as the new ! committee shall direct, for the I purpose of nominating candidates for the senate, legislature and for the different couuty offices. A resolution was adopted re questing the Plow Boy and The Nbws-Herald to publish the pro ceedings of this meeting. H.L Peeples, C’t’y. Ch’m. j Wm. Jourdan, Sec. pro tern.
