A Card From W C. Cole. To The N ews :—Please give me space in your able paper to reply to a little dirty lie I see reported to the Gwinnett Herald from Hog Mountain. The article referred to says: “We understand that W.C. Cole is trying to get Sugar Eberhart, col., to take charge of the postoflice at beagles, hut lie can’t make the bond.” Now, sir, as to the above, first,l don’t know your negro, and second, I de nounce the author as a liar and a cur, and unworthy of belief, and I demand of the writer the name of the author, and as for the present postmaster at Cains, he is well known, and his char acter is, I am satisfied, as good as the correspondent’s. As for the postmas ter, Mr. Pool, at Teagle, I am satisfied j he knows the little “squib” is a lie and i I guess could tell more about the object j of this gent writing it than has been i told, and if needful I will give you a | few dots you don’t know I have. Yours, etc., s W. C. Cole. Lawrenceville, Ga., October 6,1897. Oyster Supper. The Odd Fellows at this place are preparing for a grand blow out.

The remains were buried in the new cemetery here, in the presence of a [ large and sorrowing concourse of peo | pie, last Tuesday evening. The funeral ! services were conducred by the Rev. } H. N. Rainey, who was her pastor for many years, assisted by Rev. A. H Holland. To the bereaved family we extend our heartfelt sympathy, in this hour of sorrow and sadness. White Woman Assaulted. A white woman was assaulted ami choked into insensibility in Berkshire district last Friday by a negro. Mrs. Parish is the lady’s name and she resides near Braden, on the Seaboard Air Line railroad about thir teen miles from Lawrenceville. Mrs. Parish is a widow. She was returning home from the postoflice and the assault occurred in a body of woods. The negro, it is evi dent, was frightened away, as no harm was done to the distressed lady, fur ther than fright and the outrage of choking. On regaining consciousness, Mrs. Parish reported the facts, and gave her assailant’s name as Henry John son, a negro whom she knew. He was found, arrested, and committed to jail by do - and proper course. He was brought to Lawrenceville by Bailiff Hannon. The negro denies that he is guilty of the dastardly crime of which he is charged. The sensational accounts sent out in regard to the affair, stating that Lawrenceville was in a hign state of excitement and that an immediate lynching would probably result were, in that particular, fictitious. There is not a rumor heard or a threat made so far as we know, that the negro will be lynched. Of course our citizens are indignant, but they are orderly and law-abiding ard know that the law will deal with proper se verity with the culprit if he is found to be guilty. There is not a doubt ex pressed, but that the law will be al lowed to take its course. Papers Elect rifled. The papers coming front The News press have recently, probably from some atmospheric conditions, together with friction caused by printing and folding, become so charged with elec tricity as to crackle and emit sparks in handling, and when the hand is placed between a freshly printed pa per and the table, a very palpable shock is felt. if this thing keeps up we may after awhile advertise The News as not only tlie biggest and best country newspa | per imGeorgia, but one which is print ed on paper pregnant with the mys terious, revigorating life-giving fluid, and which when persistently taken and handled, will give relief from ner vous affections. It’s price, however will remain the same. Lost Postoflice. Editor News: —Will you please inquire through yuur columns about Cains postoffice? It has left our com munity, and we are at a loss to know where to get our mail. We understand that Sug. Eberhart, col., will take charge of Teagle postofflee if he can give bond. We do not know whether he can give bond or not. it may he possible that he has got our office and is at a loss know what he is to do with it. Is this republicanism? If so, we have gut enough of it. It is worse than yellow fever, and will take four years to get rid of it. Did you ever think of that, pops ? Hoo Mountain. Only 11 more dayß till the Gwin nett County Fair Opens.

Visitor. Ordinary’s Court. Monday was Judge Webb’s court day. The order of business was as follows: J. M. Mills,administrator of Hosea Willbanks, made application to sell land. Order granted M. E. Cooper, admin istrator of J. W. Cooper, leave to sell land. Miss Mary A. Goodwin applied for letters of administration on the es tate of Joseph Goodwin. Twelve months support set apart to Mrs. T. P.

Garrett was appointed administrator of Martha Wellmaker, Twelve months support was set apart for Mrs. Sarah C. Bryant, widow of R O. Bryant. The will cf D. L. Shell was probated in common form, ami R. L. Shell was qualified as executor. Cains Postoflice. Considerable indignation, and just iudignation at that, has been created in Hog Mountain district, by the re moval of the postoflice from Mauldinsi where it has been located for about fifteen years, to the residence of Wm. Burrell, some Uq miles farther in the direction of the Hall county line. Up to a short time since Mr. Mauldin was the postmaster, and the patrons were satisfied witl) his administration of its affairs. Recently, however, “Bud” Burrell was appointed to the position, and proceeded to change the location from where the postoflice department had established it, by what authority we do not know, and carried it home with him. “Cains” postoflice is now located within a mile of “Teagle,” at Caleb Pool’s, and a large portion of the coun try is without postal facilities. Tlie attention of the department snould be called to this matter at once, and we presume the citizens most di rectly interested will do so. If the law permits postottlces to he yanked about over the county at the “sweet will” and convenience of post masters, regardless of the needs and wishes of the people, then the law ought to be changed. Our idea has always been that the postoflice department located post offices in the country,and nut the post masters, and we think that an inquiry there will-show that we were not mis taken.

A full attend ance of the committee is desired, that we may take counsel together. VV. W. Wilson, B.i-funu, aside all other lousiness 011 that day and attend this meeting. It should be remembered that a re-union of all the confederate soldiers of the couuty is to be held on Thursday, the 21st, which is the last day of the fair, at which Gen. Gordon, or some other promi nent soldier, will deliver an ad dress. Everybody is cordially in vited to attend this meeting, and bring a lunch basket along with them, as there is to be a basket dinner on that occasion. It is only a short time now,un til the opening day of the fair and we urge all our people to be up and doing from now on, so that they can show to the world the great resources that we have within our borders. There will be many visitors here from other counties, and we want a fair that we can all be proud of, and will have it, if our people show sufficient county pride in contributing to it. Bring along your exhibits, whether you want or expect a pre mium. Premiums are not the objective points any way. What we want is to show even our own people what a great county old Gwinnett is, and what she can do when she humps herself. House Burned. The residence of John Brooks, four miles north of town near Al cova was fired last Saturday night by some incendiary and burned to the ground. Brooks and his wife and child were asleep in the house at the time, and might have perished in the flames had they not been awakened by John King, a neigh bor, who discovered the fire and gave the alarm. Brooks accuses Hiram and Lum Ramey of firing the house at the procurement of Zaeh King, a well known citizen of our town, and on Sunday he swore out warrants for their arrest. Their trial is set for this (Thurs day) afteruoou, before Justice Mills, but as we go to press before the trial terminates, we cannot give the result. Brooks is a revenue reporter and has made many enemies by in forming on blockaders, and doubt less in a spirit of revenge the in cendiary has touched the torch to his home. However bad Brooks’ reputation might have been, this does not jus tify the dastardly crime of incen diarism, and the sentiment of our best citizens is that the guilty may be brought to speedy justice. Hypnotic Entertainment. Wednesday evening of last week I Prof. R . Hess gave a hypnotic en tertainment at Hotel Ewing to an j invited audience, in which he dis ' played his power over mind. Two subjects were placed under | the mysterious spell and did the | bidding of Prof Hess, cutting up all manner of “monkey shines.” Others offered to allow them selves to be hypnotised, but only two could the power be exerted over. During tlie fair Prof. Hess will give a series of entertainments, to which the public will be invited. A small admission fee will be charged. A Good Kecortl.
