A CORRECTION.
In last week’s issue, in stating
1 those who had been sent to the
j chain-gang, we got the name of
j the prosecutor and defendant
| mixed, and said that Mr. J. C.
Utsey had been sent to the chain
gang. We should have said Will
Heard, col , instead of Mr. Utsey.
Mr. J. C. Utsey is depot agent
at Auburn, a stranger in the
county, and we are very sorrv that
we made the mistake, aud hereby
make public apology to him.

held the office of Justice of the

tarily retires to become a candi
date for the office of Coroner. We
ask the readers to consider his
claim.
Solicitor C. H. Brand aud his
two little girls, Luelle and Julia,
were to have left Cumberland
island on last Saturday for home;
and, if they had left, they v«ry
probably would have been on that

Fortunately it was, a thousand
times so, that Solicitor Brand and

ted.
Col. Burton Cloud of Buford
was in town Tuesday. He says
that he is going to get married ou
next Monday, and go to Homer,
Banks county, on the following
Wednesday, where he will locate
permanently to engage in-the prac
tice of- his profession. The for
mer statement is accepted as a
jjke, but the latter, a fact. Mr.
Cloud is a brilliant young man,
aud we predict for him at Homer
a suceessful future.
Col. Thos. J. Shackelford of
Athens, who delivered the literary
address at City schoo) commence
ment exercises Tuesday, called to

“Tom” is a splendid young man,
with a bright future. We never
see him but that we are reminded
of a remark that W. S. McCarty,
our teacher, once made to us when
we were in school together. He
said “Tom Shackelford has one of
the most reliable minds of any
boy that I have ever taught.” His
success iu life is verifying Prof,
McCarty’s remarks.
Death of Miss Mattie King.

Fine Yield of Wheat.
Mr. W. P. Price, one of Oco

the rag off the bush as the cham
pion wheat raiser of this section,
so far as heard from.

ered 194 bushels, equivalent to
48| bushels per acre. This is
equal in yield to the best wheat
lands of the northwest. Who
says Georgia is not the garden
spot of the world ?—’Walton Trib
une.
Back Taxes.
W. B. Steward, attorney and
counselor for the Western Union
Telegraph Company, came to Law
renceville on last Thursday and
paid to County Tax Collector A.
W. Moore $449.87, as back taxes
for the Western Union Telegraph
Company. Heretofore, this com
pany has been paying its taxes to
the Comptroller-General, but on
account of a recent decision of the
Supreme court of Georgia, it will
have to pay county and state tax
in every county in the state in
which its business is conducted.
Street Pair and Carnival.
Special attention iscalled to list
of premiums to be awarded by the
Street Fair and Carnival to be
held here on July 24, 25, 20. There
are so many premiums that nearly
every family in the county can
compete for something. Read the
list of premiums closely; and, if
you have anything at all that will
be of interest to the people, be
sure to put it on exhibit. There
is no reason why this Street Fair
and Carnival should not surpass
even our great county fair held
here in 1898.
Card of Thanks.
We desire through the News-
Herald to thank the good people
of Lawrenceville for their kindness
to us during the sickness and
death of our baby. May the Lord
bless them every one.

The Announcement Column,
About all of the candidates have
announced, aud the people may
begin to make up their minds as
to whom they are going to vote
for. There may be some more en
tries for some of the offices;
but, even if there are no other
candidates, none of the offices will
go lacking, as there have already
announced one for Ordinary, two
for Clerk, three for Sheriff, two
for Tax Collector, five lor Tax
Receiver, four for Treasurer, four
for Representative, three for State
Senate, two for Coroner, one for
Surveyor, ten for County Commis
sioner, making a total'of thirty
seven candidates.
This announcement column is
set in nonpareil type, is not put
in a conspicuous place," but it de
serves the attention and study of
every voter in this county. The
casting of a vote is the most sa
cred privilege that belongs to an
American citizen; the prosperity
of our county, state and nation
depends upon the ballot, aud in
voting for every officer, from bail
iff to president, which will have
to be done this year, the man, his
needs, fitness, principles, and
platform, ought to be weighed in
the balance of justice before bal
loted for.
Commencement Exercises.
On last Sunday Dr, C. E. Dow
mau, president of Emory college,
preached one of the ablest ser
mons at the City school audito
rium ever listened to in Lawrence
ville. His subject was “Character,”
and he handled it successfully.
It was one of those sermons that
are not easily forgotten, but whose
effect will live for years to come.
Monday morning’s exercises con
sisted of speechvs and recitations
by the younger pupils. All did
well.
Monday evening’s program was
long, but good. The dialogue
“Vice Versa,” and the drama,
“The Quiet Family,” were well
rendered.
Tuesday morning, in addition
to a short program of instrumental
music and declamations, the time
was well used by Col. T. J. Shack
elford,of Athens, who delivered the
literary address. Col.WiDii Peeples
introduced the speaker. Mr, Shack
elford spoke on the characteristics
and legacies of the nineteenth
century. It was a great speech,
showing wide research, deep
thcught and unusual ability.
An excellent program was ren
dered Tuesday evening. Among
the many good things shown was
a drama by the novelist, John
Kendrick Bangs, entitled “A Pro
posal Under Difficulties. ’
Wednesday morning there was a
feast of instrumental musie and
recitations. Careful training and
close application on the part of
teachers and pupils were strikingly
evident throughout the program.
In the evening the graduating
exercises were held. Dip.omas
were delivered to Misses Ida Craig,
Blanche Hutchins, Orelia Ewing,
Pearl Mitchell, and Cora Byrd,
and Messrs. Tyler E. Peeples and
J. Lawrence Exuni.
We would be glad to give the
public some of the valuable infor
mation now being gathered by the
census enumerators, but the law
forbids them from giving out any
of the results of their work.
GWINNETT COTTON GROWERS !

A GARB.
Buford, Ga., June 26.
Editor News-Herald —Iu this is
sue of yuur paper I announce my
self as a candidate for the State
Senate, subject to the Democratic
primary t.o be held on the first day
of next August.
With this announcement I de
sire to say through your columns
to the voters of Gwinnett that the
executive committee of this coun
ty required the voters to have
printed or written on their tickets
at the general election next fall,
the words: “For local option.”
“For prohibition.”
I believe the people are the
source from whence all authority
to make laws is derived; and be
ing one of those Democrats that
believe a representative in all law
making bodies should carry out
the wishes of the people who elect
him; aud thus believing, 1 desire
to state in this public manner,
that if nominated and elected to
the Senate, I shall work, speak
aud vote on the issue named as a
majority of the voters may in-
struct at the general election. I
deem it proper iu this connection
to state that the executive com
mittee in its official action de
clared that every candidate who
might offer for the Senate, should
declare over his own signature that
he would be governed by, and car
ry out the will of, the people on
the issue named, as will be ex
pressed by the qualified voters- of
this county at the general election
next fall.
It is, therefore, in obediance to
the requirements of the executive
committee that 1 make this public
declaration on this question.
I trust to have the opportunity
to meet and address many 0/ the
voters in different sections of the
county before the primary.
Yours resp’t.
W. T. Smith.

Among the prettiest weddings ol
the season in its simplicity and
beauty of appointments was the
one solemnized yesterday evening
at the residence of Dr. Wm. M.
Green, on Villa Place. The bride
was Miss Matileue Searcy Vaughan
of this city, and the groom Mr.
Robert Clark Ozmer of Trip, Ga.
The bride came down the stair
way, gowned in white orgaDdie
and lace, her arms overflowing
with flowers. The lower floor of
the house was thrown into one
large reception room and the cere
mony was performed by Dr. Green,
uncle of the bride.
The wedding souvenir book was
presided over by Miss Josephine
Leech, and frappe was served in
the hall by little Miss Louise
Searcy Parkes.
Among the presents was a col
lection of old family silver, pre
sented by the mother,of the bride,
some of the pieces having descend
ed through the generations for al
most a century. Another of spe
cial interest was a handsome por
trait of the bride’s great grand
father, Col. Robert Soarcy, a dis
tinguished member of the Nash
ville bar, and second Grand Mas
ter of the Tennessee Masonic
Lodge. This was presented by Mr.
and Mrs. James M. Leach, uncle
and aunt of Miss Vaughan.
Only the immediate family and
a limited number of friends were
present.
Mr. and Mrs. Ozmer left for
their future home in Georgia soon
after the ceremony, where the
groom is a prosperous and popu
lar young business man. —Nash-

Hurrah for our new County School
Commissioner, We heartily agree with
him concerning these between-the-acts
school teachers, while we admire that
pluck in the boys which prompts them
to improve their vacation months by
making a few cohl icy dollars. The
fault is with the patrons. We do not
support teachers as we should Ist,'
we don’t send our children to school
more than four months in a year. 2nd,
we do not devote enough of our money
and time to building and equiping
schoal bouses As a matter of fact, if
we do not attend to the education of !
our children, we need pot expect any
big-hearted A. M. school teacher to go |
out in the woods in a little 2x4 school j
house and freeze to deatli with about j
twenty scholars, just for humanity’s j
sake, no, not in these modern days.and
times. We must do our part. Let’s
try to help our School Commissioner
and teachers by sending our children
to school, and making proper arrange
ments about the school house, and if
there is no seats, no stove, no place to
get water, why, let’s get together and
make the proper arrangements, and X
guarantee if we do these things, we
won’t have any trouble in getting good
teachers. Vox Popui.i.

Other things being equal, an old compaup is to be pre

by which it can be judged. “The Old Manhattan” has made
its record, to which today it points with pride.
Second — It Is A Clean Company.
In the fifty years of its existence, no breach of scandal has
been directed towards it; 110 questionable practices have been
entered into by its management, and no examination of its
books or accounts has shown cause for criticism.
Third —lt Is A Just Company.
We judge a company as we do a man. What are its morals?
When other companies ertod the Southern Policy-holder,
