charge to these men who were
chosen to look into the county’s
affairs.
The court did not omit a single
point in the charge and empha
sized those things that
their attention most. Judge Rus
sell manages his court well, and
does not allow any time to be lost,
avid he promised the grand jury
his hearty co-operation in their
deliberations. His charges con
tain much useful information, and
it would do every citizen good to
hear them.
In regard to liquor selling the
presiding judge promised the grand
jury that if any person was con
victed of this offense the dirty dol
lars that were thus obtained and
kept from needy wifes and chil
dren would not do the rum sellers
any good.
J.C. C. Davis was made bailiff
of the grand jury and the court

T. Haney.

COURT WEEK.
Court Week is always a big thing
in country towns and county sites
and Lawrenceville is in her full
glory in this respect this week.
The usual crowd is in town and
the streets are thronged with citi
zens from every portion of the
county. Some have business in
court, others have personal mat
ters to attend to, while not a few
come solely for the purpose of
seeing and beiug seen.
The usual number of patent
medicine fakirs are with us and
the horse swappers are here in all
th-ir glory.
The grand jury is an inquisitive
body and they are prying into the
affairs of the county. The whisky
sellers are on the run and judging
by the number of bills returned
for this offense some of our citi
zens will likely be poorer if not
wiser men before the session is
over.
Unusual Coincidence.
Mr. T. 11. Freeman, a highly
respected citizen of DeKalb coun
ty, who lived at the Fowler mill
on Indian Creek, died Monday and
a messenger was sent to telephone
the fact to his sister who lived in
Atlanta and inform her that the
remains would be buried at Pleas
ant Hill cemetery in Gwinnett
county.
The messenger was met by the
statement that Mr. Freeman’s
sister was dead and was to be in
terred at the same place and time.
Mr. Freeman and his sister
were from Gwinnett county but
had long been living in DeKalb
and Fulton respectively, but they
still have a family connection
about Lawrenceville.
Their remains were interred
Wednesday at Pleasant Hill cem
etery, four miles east of Lawreuce
viile. —DeKalb New Era.

JUDGE RUSSELL
FOR CONGRESS
Talk Among His Constitaents Is Grow
ing—Would lake it Hot For
"Handsome Carter.”
Judge Richard B. Russell, of
Winder, may oppose Hon. Carter
Tate in the next congressional
race in the ninth district.
Judge Russell has given out
nothing on this subject but his
friends throughout the ninth dis
trict are already talking about his
making the race and many are
urging him to announce his can
didacy.
Congressman Tate has been in
congress eight years and if he runs
again will make a strong race.
But if Judge Russell makes up
his mind to enter the race it will
be a lively contest. He is a man
of ability, numbering his friends
by the hundreds in every county
in his district, and will be a strong
opponent for any man who goes
up against him.—Athens Banner.
Judge Russell, who is now hold
ing court in Lawrenceville, was
asked about the rumored candi
dacy for congress against Hon.
Carter Tate. The judge said his
name in this connection had been
mentioned quite frequently of
late, but that he had no thought
of running; that he was in no
sense a candidate and did not ex
pect to be.
He left the impression, however,
that if sufficient pressure was
brought to bear that would guar
antee his election he would enter
the race. He has two more years
as judge of the circuit and inti
mated that he would prefer to
succeed Carter Tate in congress
than succeed himself as judge of
the Western circuit.
A Buford Pioneer Passes Away.
Buford, Ga., March B.—Wyatt
Wilson, one of the oldest citizens
of this county, died today in the
eighty-fourth year of his age.
Mr. Wilson was of robust consti
tution and led an active life.
Three years ago a stroke of paraly
sis rendered him bedridden. He
was born within four miles of
Buford, built the first storehouse
in Buford, and was one of the
town’s first merchants. He lived
for sixty - five years in the
house in which he died. A
wound received in the Seminole
war deprived him of the use of his
right arm. For years he was a
prominent and bright Mason.
Before the civil war he was an
old time whig; after the war he
; oined no political party.
He married Harriott Kyle, by
whom he had eleven children, all
of whom are living. A son lives
in California, one in Tennesse;
the remaining children live in and
near Buford. His first wife died
in 1871. His second wife survives
him. He will be buried in Buford
tomorrow.
