Facts About Lawrenceville. Substantial growth in business and in population. Nothing temporary or ephemeral. This is the condition that prevails now in Lawrenceville. We are not in the midst of a boom, such as has marked the growth and downfall of so many but our town is enjoying a regular growth that the fu ture of this town andrhe confidence of the people in it. Within the past few months there have been established in the city sever al large enterprises, engineered and managed by men of unquestioned busi ness ability and sagacity, and many dollars have been invested in different enterprises. The News deprecates the usual news paper boom methods, but the undoubt- | ed material growth of its home town constrains it to publish to the world the facts. Tom Ambrose, prompted by energy and determination, has built a hotel that j .vill stand the storms to come as a monument to his indomitable courage.! M. E. Ewing, finding his old quar ters too small, has built a large brick j store, which gives a business like ap- I pearance to that part ofAown in which j it is situated. Mr. Wilson built a neat and cosey lit- j tie brick store, in which he does a thriving business. The Methodist church, which has i been built for a year or so, is one of j the most comfortable and convenient in this part of the country. Lawrenceville boasts of some of the handsomest, dwellings that can be found in any Georgia town. Recently many buildings have been constructed, oth ers enlarged, renovated and re-painted. With an abiding faith in the future of Lawrenceville, The New s views the evidences of prosperity with pride. Without exaggeration, this is one of the most desirable sections of the American continent for home-seekers, and its growth and development is but natural. Its history in the past lias been one of continued advancement, and it will go on. Colloquy Witli the Dead. Verily, experience is a great factor in the lives of us all. A day or two.since two young ladies, becoming tired of the confinement of the house, decided to take ail evening stroll, and in wandering at will through the cooling shades of the court bouse yard, watching for something of a pleasure-giving nature, they chanced to spy the monument, which stands like a grim sentinel. One of the young ladies said to the other : “If you will go there and say : ‘Men, what did you die for, they will say, ‘Nothing at all.”’ The young lady did as commanded,and having to repeat the question three j times, each time raising her voice, the | people in the vicinity became some- I what interested, but not noticable. This is old, but we must say it was ex- j ceedingly good for the one on whom it was played, lives well, we feel a I delicacy in articulating, for fear we will deviate from the pa e hs of recle tude. Gone to Buy Cotton Seed. Messrs. W. J. Born, Jr., and YY r . O. Cooper left Wednesday for Monroe to buy cotton seed. Mr. Cooper will look after several places, Social Circle and Conyers among them. Mr. YV. S. Brand will probably buy seed in Athens. We wish all the boys good health, good luck and lots of fun. Tlie Kjglit Kind of Sheriff. Auburn, Ga., Aug. 20,1894. —Editor News : Sheriff llaslett was in Auburn to-day on business. YY’hile here he contributed S2O to our college, to which good cause he had already given $5.00. Mr. Haslett is a public spirited man. I He takes an interest in educational j progress and all other kind of progress. Ben Smith’s district will not forget him, and when election day conies around she will give him seventy-five majority over the populist candidate. A Friend. Notice, «J. P.’s and N. P.’s.

A Family Ito-iinioii. Mr. Editor — As was previously ar ranged, last Saturday was the day ap pointed for a reunion of the children and grand children of Mr. Pitman Wil liams, deceased, at the family grave yard on the old homestead, now owned and occupied by Mr. T. A. l’ate. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, nearly all the children and grand children were present. Mr. Williams lived the greater prrt of bis life in this county. He started in life a poor man, but by hard work and good management acquired a large estate. He was a member and deacon of the Baptist church for a number of years and was an upright citizen, a good father and a faithful member of bis church up to his death, a few years ago. He raised a large family of chil dren. seventeen in all, five girls and twelve boys, fourteen of which arc still living. Twelve children together with one hundred and thirty grand children met at the family grave yard to pay a tribute of respect to those who have passed away, and by so doing bring themselves into a closer union one with another than they have been in the past. The grave yard is situated about 1100 yards from Mr. Pate’s residence in a nice grove. It lias been well taken care of, having been enclosed with a granite fence during the life time of Mr. Will iams. On account of the rain they never had any devotional exercises. They, all met under the hospitable roof of Mr. Pate and there talked with each other of the events of their younger days. If space will allow we will mention something about all the children sep erately. Mr. W. 11. Williams, the eld est of the family, is an upright citizen of this county. He was first lieuten ant in the late war. Since that time be has reared a large family of children, nearly all of whom are married and do ing well. He has made farming a suc cess and is living in a prosperous con dition. But his gray locks show that his years are not many on earth. Mrs. Elizabeth Rutledge, the next eldest, was left a widow shortly after the war, with five little children to raise. But by good management and hard work, she managed to raise them and give them all a common school education. She has excelled most of the men in farming, and is now enjoying the bless ings of plenty. Mrs. Sytlia Donaldson was the wife of Mr. Bill Donaldson, a well-to-do farmer of this county, but both are dead and left a large family of children. Mr. J. B. Williams, the next inage is an upright citizen of this coun ty. After being wounded twice in the late war lie came home, married and raised a family, and is now living at home on a fine farm near that of bis father. Mr. S. P. Williams is another one that is successful. He settled near his father, and he, like all the rest, is taking a great interest in educating his children. Mr. James Williams set tled on a fine farm of liis own near Trip and is following the example of his father. Mrs Sarah Glower, another one of the girls, is the wife of Mr. D. M. Glower, a well known and influential man in this part of the country. Mr. Doc Williams, tile youngest of the first set of children, spent several years of his life in Ala bama but lias come back to old Gwin nett to make it his home. Mrs. Mar tha Brownlee, the eldest of the last set of children, is the wife of W. V. Brown lee, an enterprising young man of Trip. Messrs. Sidney, Gash, Virgil, Ledford and Alvin Williams belong to the last set of children, and are all young men, being on farms of their own except Ledford, who graduated at the old At lanta Medical College last March, and is now located near Loganville getting a good practice. Mrs. Ava Duran is the youngest of all, and is the wife of a successful young merchant of South Georgia. The whole family is an all round, upright, law abiding and pros perous people. When the dinner hour arrived a long table was built beneath the spreading oaks in front of Mr. Pate’s residence, and on that table could be found every thing imaginable to satisfy the inner man, prepared by the good wives and 1 fair daughters for that occasion. Hard j times were forgotten during that hour. After all had eaten to their fill, they | gathered about in groups to converse j on subjects that would not mar the peace of the family. Politics were not allowed to be discussed. The young people enjoyed sweet music made by Miss Lizzie Glower at the organ. Some time in the evening Mr. Kel- ! ley, photogropher of Loganville, made j pictures for the family. After spending the evening very pleasantly together, they all bade each other adieu and left for their respective homes. It was a happy meeting, but God only knows whether they will all meet again on earth, but there will be a happier meeting when they meet with their kindred and friends in a bet ter world.

' Life Sketches of Some of Our Democratic Nominees. We give below sketches of some of the democratic nominees of Gwinnett county. We could not get cuts and sketches of Messrs. Brand. Hawthorne, Hadaway and Maffett. However, we shall print them at some future time. The News, in common with all other I good citizens, is proud of our nominees, j and will lend its aid to their trium phant election. L. F. McDonald, son of D. L. Mellon- | aid,of Rockbridge Dis’t. lie was born I and reared in that district, was born September 28,1861. His parents came j from democratic stock on each side, j Mr. McDonald taught school three years, then becoming tired of this, he decided to become a lawyer, and com-! L. F.

Simmons, and was admitted to the bar in 1885. lie was elected mayor of I aw renceville in 1891 and served two years. Col. McDonald has always been a democrat. He made his first political speech at the age of 18, for Colquitt, in the Colquitt and Norwood campaign. The subject of this sketch is the son of R. H. and Susan G. Fleming. He was born January 17,1869, in Berkshire district, this county. His parents are pf good blood, and su perior refinement, but have always been in moderate circumstances only. Young Charles, being a cripple from early life, was given better educational advantages than the others of his fam ily. He went to the country school near his home until he received a pret ty fair education. In 1888 he entered the Norcross high school, in charge of Prof. Cooledge. He remained there one year, arid then entered the Everett high scool, in Floyd county, where he C. A. FLEMING, Nominee for Tax Collector Gwinnett county. remained two years and a portion of j the third year. lie made good use of his time and has a pretty fair education, lie will be able to run the affairs of bis office without aid from any one. Mr. Fleming is a democrat, and, al though he has never been in politics, his people are all strong democrats, ami he himself has always been in close sympathy with the party. One thing, and only one thing, can be said against Mr. Fleming. He is not married. However, he promises faithfully that this objection shall soon be removed, and then Gwinnett county \ will have as nice a tax collector as any j county in Georgia. May the good Lord speed him in his marriage. Arbin W. Moore is the oldest son of j George T. and Nancy E. Moore. He was born November 6, 1854, in Trooper j county, Mississippi. After four years sojourn in that state they moved back to this county, where they lived until 1881, the father dying in that year. His death left the boys to make a living for the family, which then consisted of the mother, three sisters and four brothers. Arbin, being the oldest boy, of course had to take the lead in domestic affairs. They prospered, all the buys being good workers and practicing close economy. In January, 1891, Arbin was elected treasurer of Gwinnett county by a handsome majority, and has held the r A W. MOORE, Treasurer Gwinnett county and nomi nee for re-election. office ever since. This time he defeat ed John Bagwell, who is one of the most popular young men in the coun ty. He says he intends to retire after this term of office expires. Perhaps no man has ever given more universal satisfaction as a county officer than Ar bin Moore. On the 20th day of August, 1893, Mr. Moore was happily married to Miss Jennie Ambrose, daughter of J. M. and Mary J. Ambrose, of Lawrenceville. There is no better democrat in Gwin nett than Arbin Moore, and when he gives up the office which he now holds | he will step into the ranks of the par ty and do yoeman service for all the nominees of his party. Thomas A. llaslett, son of VVilliatn and Mahala llaslett, of' this county, was born December 7, 1858, in Gwin nett county and has never lived out of the county. He was reared on a farm, and bad to work with six other broth ers to make a living. When the war came on his father and six brothers went to fight for their country and left young Tom at home to look after things in their absence. He did it well, but his educational advantages were cut off, and he grew to manhood with out the advantages of any but a meagre country school education. On the 12th day of March, 1876, be was happily married to Miss Anna E. Blakey, daughter of Boling A. Blakey, of Ben Smith’s district, this county. By that marriage he has nine children —six girls and three boys. They arc all healthy, industrious children, and the idols of their parents. In January, 1891, Mr. llaslett was T. A. HABLKTT, Sheriff of Gwinnett county and nomi nee for re-election. elected high sheriff of Gwinnett coun ty. In January 1898, he was again elec ted, serving both terms as high sheriff, with YY. J. Tribble as deputy. The fact that he beat Mr. Tribble this time is sufficient proof of his great popular ity with the people. All the Hasletts are uncompromising democrats, and always have been. The present nominee for sheriff is one of the strongest democrats in the county and so is bis deputy, Mr. George Hub erts. The two men will make faithful offlcars, and we predict that violators of law in our county will not be al lowed to escape if warrants are put in to the bands of these men. The subject of this sketch, the son of John and Martha Cain, was born on I lie 201 b day of September, 1815, in Berkshire district, Gwinnett county. At the age of six he went to bis first school, carrying with him a blue-back speller and a large amount of timidity. The school was taught by Thomas D. Mathis, at old Pleasant Grove school house, in Berkshire distriet. For several years young Tom went to school between crops, and learned how to cipher anti read and write, which he considered a pretly fair edii ealion for the times. YY’hen the war broke out he was only sixteen years old, and did not enlist until lie was eighteen, when lie volun teered and joined company 11., 16th Ga. regiment, known as the Flint Hill Grays. Those wlm were with him in the war say that he was a good soldier, and that he always stood up to the hoys in all things. Cwii / \ f V l>. T. CAIN, Clerk S. C. Gwinnett county and nomi nee for re-election. After the war he came back to Gwin nett county and worked on the farm for two years, helping his father to get on his feet again. In 1897 he went to school at old Yellow River, where he learned but little in books but met and fell in love with a young lady. Her name was Miss Darliski Nash, daugh ter of Louis and Rena Nash. Of course marriage followed, and the young man settled down to work for himself. It was the year 1879 when Mr. Cam first entered politics. That year he be came a candidate for clerk of the supe rior court of Gwinnett county. There were several candidates in the race, and the successful one, F. P. Julian, came out only a few votes ahead of Mr. Cain. In January, 1881, Mr. Cain was a candidate again for the same office and was elected by a very large majority, j Since that time he has held the office i continuously, notwithstanding several popular men have opposed him al dif j ferent times. If there is one thing which carries Mr. Cain along in politics it is his de mocracy. lie is a man of firm convict ions, and no man can say that he does I not adhere to them. Whether hisviews are popular or not, he expresses them | fearlessly on all occasions. The home life of our subject is smooth and harmonious. He has an interesting family of boys and girls, and they make home a happy place for \ themselves, as well as for all who go l there. To conclude, we w ill say that there is not a more efficient clerk of the court, nor a more popular man, in the stale of Georgia than Tom Cain. It is said that there is not a string of fence in Bay Creek district on which Bob Whitworth did not kill lizzards when he was a boy, neither is there a stream on whose banks he did not play and kill snakes and catch minnows He says himself that the happiest mo ments of his life, except those spent around his mother's knee were spent in rollicking over the fields and along the ravines of old Bay Creek district. K. B. Whitworth, the second son of James O. and Martha K. Whitworth, was born on the I.Hth day of August, 1861, in what was then Harbins, but now Bay Greek, district, Gwinnett county, Ga. When about six yejirs old be started to school to John B. VV'atson, a confederate soldier wlm was teaching at the Watson school bouse, just over the line in Walton county. At that school he got his start, and determined to get an education. . For many years he went to the coun try schools and learned all that was to be learned at them. However, as he worked every year, and went to school only after crops bad beed laid by, his education was of necessity limited un til 1881, when he entered the Logans ville high school, where be went to school three years, teaching and work ing on the farm at intervals. It so happened that in 1885 be taught with in three hundred yards of the old school house in which be first went to school. In 1887 lie entered the Nnr cross high school, under the supervis ion of Prof. N. F. Cooledge, who was at that time one of the finest educators in the country. Here he remained one year. Leaving that school, he taught several years, until January, 1898, he was elected ordinary of Gwinnett coun ty, which office he now holds. He had always taken a great ’int crest in the success of the democratic party, and now t hat the party wanted a young, en ergetic man for a county leader it nat urally chose aiuau who had worked hard and constantly for party success. He beat the third party so lmdly that it was not considered an opponent. Speaking of Judge Whit worth’s de mocracy, it might be interesting to state that he comes of a democratic family. His fat her is one of the most sterling democrats in Gwinnett county and always votes and works for his party’s success in all elections. His grandfather,too,was a democrat of the same stripe. In fact, the entire family are democrats in the truest sense of the word. It. B. WHITWORTH, Ordinary of Gwinnett county. Judge YVhittiworth is not a married man, but that doesn’t hinder him from being a nice man.

Before we close we must say a word about the artist who made the judge’s picture. II will be observed that the picture would have the public believe that tlie judge’s bead lias no covering on it—not even a single hair. This is a slander. There are more than a doz en hairs on his head, and they are growing everyday. II should be recol lected that he is young yet, and that nature will yet assert itself and give him a crown of hirsute beauty. Born—Hailaway.

August 17th, 1830, and de parted this life at Noreross, Ga., July 16th, 1894. He married Miss Elizabeth Hunter, of Abbeville, S. C., November 7th, 1848. Living until September 6th, 1888, she died, leaving her husband live children to survive her. On thqj 31st of October, 1889, he was married again to Mrs. Marther 8. Marbit, who < still survives him. As a husband he was faithful and devoted. As a father he was kind and indulgent. As a cit izen he was true and loyal. In the year 1891 when the flag of war rallied under her folds the flavor of southern manhood, he was among the first to re- - a pond, enlisting as a private in Compa ny “N,” ,19th Ga. Reg. of the Confeder ate cause for which he fought till Lee surrendered his sword at Ap pomattox in 1865. He joined the Meth odist Church in 1867, in which he lived until death. Impulsive by nature, his Christian life was not in the earlier years as devoted as he would like. But when convinced of wrong he was ready to make the amende honorable. The last few days of his life, however, he was devoted to Christ, and died the faith, having told his loved ones only a short while before death he was ready and going home to rest. Being conscious until a few moments before death, he said he was resigned to his Master's will. “Be ye also ready, for ye know not the hour when the Son of Man eometli.” 1 J. W.
