It would add greatly to the conven ience of our city and otner places along the line if the Seaboard would run an accommodation train to and from At lanta daily. We call upon them to try this as an experiment. Hon. Howard Thompson was here Tuesday shaking hands and getting ac quainted with the people.

Death of a Prominent Citizen. On last Monday evening shortly af ter 5 o’clock Mr. G. A. Campbell died- He had been in feeble health for some time, but was not confined to his bed but a few days. He was 70 years old, and had been a member of Rockbridge Baptist church for a number of years, where he. by his good example, led oth ers in the right paths. "(While the church lost one of Its best members, the community lost one of its most highly respected citizens. Cen terville is shrouded in gloom as it nev. er was before.

Postmaster Cole on His “Dew Claws.” Editor News: Please give me space in your paper to reply to an ar ticle I saw in your paper of the 22nd of October, 18)7, from Hog Mountain. The author says he and others be lieve tHat i was responsible for the moving of Cains postoffiee. I care but little what you and your allies think while I know that there is not a word of truth in it. I never saw the letter asking permission to move the office, neither was I present or had any band in it. Ido not know what it con tained. Furthermore, I never saw the order to move the same, though I am satisfied, it was received by Mr. Bu rell, or be never could have moved it and as to wtio wrote the letter for him to the department, I can say that he is a gentleman and only did so as a friend, as did your man who wrote yours for you. Now, sir, you say that the republi cans,negroes and dogs all mix up well, and how do we mix? All we say or do is public—we don’t curse the ne gro all along till we want, his vote or labor, and then pat him on tlie back and say : “Oh, we love you—you are so good and pure!” But, alas! times are changing fast,. Some of your sort that have cursed ami abused the republi can party for years are now clamoring to hold office under it, and some go further and offer to serve under a col ored man, so you see which way the wind blows. This makes me think of a uian that I heard of once who was frequently abusing the black republi can party, but he want to a neighbor ing town and filled up on bad whiskey and acted so bad the boys bad to use a little oil and lampblack to conceal his color, so peiipie would not know him, and this man was last seen on the train going south. Now, Mr. Correspondent, you say that you did not write the first article in the Herald. I don’t think you ever wrote any of them yourself. There is one in your company of about four who does tile writing. Nine-teenths of the people are satis fied on i liis question after looking on the certiorari you sent in to the su perior court in the case of l’eagle vs. Crane, and the answer and how it was made. You say you are not educated. Well, neither am 1. That, sir, is our misfortune, but I will say to you I don’t have any one to write my ar ticles and no dictation and 1 never sail under a nom de plume. Now, sir, I still stick to my former article as to the author of the article in regard to Eberhardt. Now, sir, Mr.. Pool, as I said before, is a gentle men and you sanctioned it. He, Pool, tells me that when he called the col ored man’s attention to the article af ter studying a few minutes he said : “No white man wrote that, but some uocount negro who was out of a job wrote it,” and he, Fberhart, would give him “twenty-five cents per day to strike in his shop, so if you know him tell him where he can get a job, as he needs one. At first Eberhart could not give the bond for postmaster at Teagles, then comes from the same source and by one of the same four, a statement that the said Eberhart was a democrat and did not want office under a republican administration, I admire his grit and feel proud to know that lie respects his politics more than a good number of his white friends of the same party if he he a democrat. Now you know someone lias told what is not true in one or the other statement from Hog Mountain. You claim to not know who the author is. Well, if you don’t, it will be hard to make any one believe it. The article says that I am a bluff. Well, sir, you can sav what you please, but please confine yourself to facts. X don’t fear you, sir. lam now sitting writing this within soup miles of where I first saw the sunlight of heaven fifty-five years ago, and I will let them that have known me all that time pass upon me—they are not bilious or under some delusion, like some say a certain man was about a year ago, and 1 will state, sir, as to myself, if you think l won’t face what I write, call on me. 1 will treat you as kindly, sir, as you treat me. Now, in conclusion, I will state, va rious ones of the patrons of Cains postoffice have ex pressed themselves as being well pleased with the change of postmaster and site of postoffiee, and Mr. Burell gave you tlie facts i n his article some time back. The mail for Cains postoffiee is as much now as before the change, so I can’t see that anything is lost but the Postal Record, and we will find that yet. Yours for the present, W. C. Cole. A Record Breaker. Goes Hack to Decatur. Rev. Win. Henry Strickland spent Friday night in town with relatives while en route to Decatur. He had taken his final leave of Perry-Rainey i College at Auburn, and was on his way back to Decatur. He called at The News office and requested that we correct an error which appeared in our last issue rel ative to the trouble between the col lege and himself. The News stated that Mr. Strickland had “resigned,’ and this, Dr. Strickland says, is a mis take. He did not “resign” but “sold 1 out,” he says, “lock, stock and barrel.” He had secured a lease on the college \ building and assumed full and com plete charge of the same and employed I his own subordinates, consequently he had nobody to “resign” to. When differences arose as to school | management between him and its ! patrons, I)r. Strickland thought the j interests of tlie school and his own in terests demanded the course which led to him selling out his lease. All parties are now satisfied, and when Dr. Strickland took his depar ture, tiie trustees of the college signed the following statement: Auburn, Ga., 0ct.25, 1897. In releasing Rev. Wm. Henry Strick land from his contract to conduct our schools, and in taking leave of him as our president, it affords us pleasure to give expression to our esteem for him as a high-toned Christian gentleman, an able expounder of the holy script ures, and a competent teacher and dis ciplinarian. We herein commend him to the public generally. Our friction has arisen from this cause: He upon his pari and we upon our part have our ideas as to school management and neither could conscientiously yield. We regret the necessity of having to cease to work together, but as we do differ ’tis best to part in love. We wish Mr. Strickland the most abundant suc cess. We raise no question as to his competency, and personally he is dear to us all. Signed. J . O. Hawthorn, L. F. Jackson, V. H. Cooper, J. S. Pate, J. 11. Hutchins, Wm. P. Cosby, Trustees. Mr. Strickland is pastor of the Au burn Baptist church and will continue to serve it in his ministerial capacity- Rill Arp Corrects Folsom's His tory. Editor Constitution —Old Gwin nett does not need any taffy nor epi taffy. John Howard Pay ne was never there. It is not probable that Governor Troup was ever there. If he has we did not try Payne there, for he was not a judge of ary court. Judge Augustus Clay ton tried some missionaries there for disloyalty to the state and they were convicted and sent to the peniten tiary and were pardoned by Governor Gilmer. Payne was arrested by some of the Geo.gia Guard in 1834, hut after exam ination by Col. Bishop, who com manded the Georgia troops, he was discharged. Governor Troup had nothing to do With it, lor lie was not the governor then. He was in Wash ington as a member of congress. He was not governor after 1826,and Payne was not arrested until 1834. Payne did not sing his song of “Home, Sweet Home” for the first time in old Gwin nett. I wish that he had,for maybe I would have heard it, as I was there during all those historic years. He sang that song for tlie first time in 1818, in a poverty-stricken attic in the city of Paris, and it was incorporated in the play of “Clari” that he wrote, 1 remember when the missionaries were tried in Lawrenceville, for I was ten years old, and it created an excitement that impressed my youthful mind. My friend Folsom’s informant has got things mixed arid it reminds me of old Father Pace, who, while preaching with great earnestness and uneducated zeal said: “My brethren and sister’ll, when Moses built the ark—” An old deacon near by said in low and sol emn voice, “Moses wasent thar.” “I say,” said the old preacher, “when Moses built the ark—” “Moses wasent thar,” said the deacon, “Well he was thar or thereabouts,” said Brother Pace, and he proceeded with his dis course. Let truth of history be vindicated. Bili. Are. A Sudden Death Special to The Nows. Vlrs. Nancy O’Shields, wife of Wil liam O’Shields, was called from this dark laud of misery, trials and tribula tions to a brighter land above on the 23rd of October. She was born June 1,1839, and died at the age of 58 years, 4 months and 22 days, and was mar ried in 1857. She lived in Gwinnett about-13 years, then moved to DeKalb county, where she lived up to five years ago, when she moved back to Gwinnett and was living near Level Greek church when she died. She was a member of that church at the time of her death. This good woman had been a member of the church from childhood. She-was the mother of 12 children, 7 girls and 5 boys, all of whom are living, 32 grand-children, 29 living, 3 dead. She being the first one from the family to go, leaves a large number to mourn her death. She was a good, kind and affection ate mother and a true wife, always giving good advice, and no doubt if her advice is taken her children will meet her in Heaven, where parting will come no more. Sleep op dear mother, It won’t be long, ’Till we shall meet each other. Around God’s eternal throne. A precious one from us is gone, A voice we loved is stilled. A place is vacant in our home Which never can be filled. Yes, the mother’s course is run, Ended is the glorious strife, Faught the fight, the work is done, Jleath is swallowed up of life. Her remains were laid to rest in old Level Creek cemetery on Sunday, the 24th ult., in the presence of a large con course of weeping relatives and Rev. J. E.England conducting the fu neral service. In order to make room for the Gov ernor’s message published in our issue of last week, several advertisements were of necessity omitted. Howetjer, it was not intended that the one of Mr. James Sawyer.of Snellville, should be among the number, but by mistake of our foreman it was lifted out and consequently failed to appear in its accustomed position. We extremely regret this omission occurred, for Mr. | Sawyer, being a live and progressive An Old Account. Found among the papers belonging to the late Davis Byrd, is an old ac count, written with a goose quill, and bearing date Nov. 17th, 1781. The paper is remarkably well pre served, and was exhibited at the Coun ty Fair by Craig Williams. The account is directed against “Mr. James Brows, “To John Gilbert, Dr. “November 13, 1781.” Some of the items are given to show the prices in those Jays: To 3 gallons brandy, $1.40 1 bushel salt 1.00 1 furred hat 4.00 1 jacket, made up 1.20 1 razor 80 16 lbs. tobacco. . . 1.40 1 pair woolen stockings. 1.20 1 pair cotton stockings 1.00 1 pair breeches.. 1.00 1 small black horse 10.00 Keeping your horse two winters 8.00 Going for your clothes to New Garden 1.00 To board 5 mos 5.00 Caught In the Act. Marslial Robinson spied Tom Hig gins, a white man, in the act of receiv ing money for whisky last Tuesday morning, and took possession of both him and his goods. HigginS was arraigned before the mayor and was found guilty of selling whisky and sentenced to pay a fine of $30.00 and costs or serve a term of 30 days at labor on the streets of the town and bound over to the city court. He was unable to pay the fine and is languishing in the calaboose, being sick at present and unable to work. Croup Quickly Cured. Mountain Glen, Ark.—Our chil dren were suffering with croup when we received a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. It afforded almost instant relief, — F. A. Thornton. This celebrated remedy is for sale by all medicine dealers. GARNER. Special to The News. Fielding M. Pierce was ceremonial ly united in marriage to Miss Iliggins last Sabbath, and thereby the twain is made happy in one. It is now authoritatively said that rhe nuptials of Mr. Jerry Holland, a notary public in Redan district, De- Kalb, will be announced at a very early day. He and his affianced lady were in mutual cousultation all day Sabbath last and the time agreed upon which is not yet made known to the puolic. It is a breach of ettiqnette for any young man to appear at the breakfast table without his hands and face washed and his hair nicely combed and parted in the middle or at one side, or at least this is Will Hick’s way of thinking. His brother-in-law, Zaoh Young, who lives with him at Stone Mountain has been very neglectful in tlie performance of this duty, it ap pears. After many severe reproofs for such neglect, Zach the other morning appeared at the table with Ins hair in an unkempt condition. Hicks became infuriated and seized some tougs with which he inflicted a severe blow upon the head, laying him unconscious. Zach has not since been able to comb his hair. Kirkwood is a place between Decatur and Atlanta, It is not claimed to be the center of gravity, the center of the universe or even of the state, but it is claimed to have a citizenship whose happy combination from different parts constitutes the most fashionable, elite society to be found anywhere in the state, all claiming proud distinc tions and rare blood, Desirious to be come a pater familias and stir up a sensational air in the place, one of the most fashionable young men there de termined in his own’mind recently to marry in haste, and that upon business principles. As there are many mar riageable young ladies around, he ac cordingly presented himself in their society and made his business known. According to his own connt he made the offer of marriage to twelve differ ent ones. To his offer some respond ed “No,” and all the rest “Nixey.” Chagrined and disappointed in his so cial aspirations he now determines to constitute in the place a Bachelor’s Club and in case of failure he will de camp—go to the highways and hedges. The present prices of cotton is de pressing the country very surely. Be ing the only crop from which our farm ers can realize money, they find the price much below the cost Of produc tion. In such a case it is labor be stowed for naught. Unless all the necessaries are produced at home, in cluding clothing and everything else that is used, principally, it is a “down hill” business to plant the crop and buy fertilizers to increase the yield. The only apparent remedy is to greatly reduce the crop. It is the only help- The present crop is short but much too great. TRIP. Special to The News. The matrimonial fever has struck our town in full blast. Now is your time, young people. Foster Hawthorne visited home folks Sunday. His friends are always glad to see him come.

Over 3,000 acres changed hands that day, and Sheriff Haslett, who acted as auctioneer, was kept busy from the opening hour of sale till past mid-day, knocking off the land to the various bidders. The Born estate brought near $12,000 and consisted of about 1,800 acres of farming lands, The J. W. Gooper estate was bid in mostly by the heirs at prices satisfac tory to all parties concerned. L. M. Brand got 100 acres on the Covington road for which he paid $990. It is a pretty piece of land, well worth the price. Several other smaller estates were sold, the sales aggregating over $20,000. Gwinnett’s lands are always in de mand and bring good prices, whether at private sale or on the block. A big crowd was here attending the sale, and our merchants did a thriving business. WILDCAT.

We have a pair or two of old bach elors we would like to exchange with some of the correspondents for a pair or two of old maids. Can you fix us? Thomas Smith, of Walton county’ is spending a few weeks with his uncle, C. M. Moon, at this place. MOUNT PLEASANT. Special to The News. Corn huskings are the order of the •lay.

We are glad to note that the farm ers through this section expect to sow large wheat crops this season. This is a step in the right direction. If the farmers would raise plenty of wheat and corn and their own meat, the man who howls “hard times” will surely be left in the bacK ground. Mr. and Mrs. I’. L. Ambrose passed through our town Sunday. John D. Pharr went to Clakston last week on business. We understand Mr. Pharr will enter the mercantile busi ness here soon Chas, C.
