Attention is called to notice of (’canty Commissioners Now the chum man has depart ed, we want to see the tly tray man, and we want to see him bad. The mad dog season will soon be here. Last year the county was kept in continual alarm by re* ports of their presence. \\ e publish by request, ou our first page, die full text ot the lo cal option bill now pending before th* General Asseu bly. It was furnished us by J. W. Andrews one of the memberi from this county Wauled, immediately, 500 doz en eggs, //ighest market price paid for them at J. A. Coffee's. The Hiller Urns , who have been engaged on the new court bouse at this place, since last September, returned to their home in Atlanta last Friday. They are good works wen, and agreeable gtntlemen.and made some fast friends while in our midst. We enjoyed a very pleasant vis it from Prof. Mitchell, the highly accomplished principal of F.owery Branch Institu e, last aturday He is spending a few days in this county, his old home, daring his vacation season, rie is a Chris tian man, a polished gentleman and a lipe scholar, and we congra/ ulate the ci/izei s of that stirring little town on securing his ser vices. We would like to kuow if /he Ordinance heretofore in force pro hibiting the tiling of guns and pis tolp witbm the corporate limits has been repealed ? If it has not some method ought to he adopt ed to enforce it Hardly a night passes without the report of a pis tol being heard on our streets- Glass windows seems to be a splen did target for uiglit practice. The prospect for fine crops of corn aud c ittou in the Eastern part of the county is very prom ising. We liaveled last Saturday .marly to the Jackson line, going one route and returning an other and were surprised at the general appearance of the crops. No withstanding the frequent rams in the last, month, on nearly every farm the crops were clean and in splendid growing cond’/iou. Here and there a farmer was in the grass, hut it was the exception, no* the rule. Men, women and chil dren were in the field from early dawn to dusky eve. The spring fights openened iu Ben Smiths District last week. When they fight down there, there is no foo islu.ess about it. They go in for business. On last Friday Jim Viudiford and Lem Queen got in/o an alter which resulted in blows. Q teen concluded that he could make bet ter headway with a knife and slush ed around promiseously, cutting Vandiford in the face neck and thigh. Although the wounds are in a dangerous locality none of them were deep enough t > be dangerous. Joseph Sims aud Dilinus Huff also had a bout over some business transactions and Huff was severely cut in two or three places. Both of the wounded men are able to go about aud attend to their busi ness and we understand that all of the parties are friendly and will ing to forget and forgive. DEATH OF J. M POSEY. On last Friday Mr. John M, Posey, of Buford, who was serv iug as Justice of the Peace, was stricken with paralysis, while try ing a case. The pa/ial paralysis soon became general and he died at 2 o’clock Saturday moruing. Mr. Posey was a leading citizen of his town as a devoted Christian and his sadden death doubtless found him prepared to meet the messenger. His remains were buried with Masouie honors CAUGHT AT LAST It will be remembered, that several years \go, a negro man nam'd Blake was killed near Thompsons Mills, in this county That Monroe Johns was charged with the murder and several others with being principals in ihe second degiee. Momoe JohES left the county immediate and has been gone ever since. The other parties were indicted by the grand jury, bui for want of eviden ;e to convict them with ihe killing the cases were nol pressed Last February the Governor of fered a reward of SIOO for the apprehension of Monroe and we understand ihat Sheriff Cosby re* cently located him at Springfield Mo., Notice of his arrest was seat 10 the county officials here on last Friday Mr. Patterson was sent after him with a requisition from the Governor of G orgia and ex pects to have him here some time this week, and the case will probe bly come up for trial in Septem ber. THE DUDE. We have received from a fair lady correspondent Jor publica tion, a latter written her oy a ‘dude" who hud just wade her acquaintance. While we vould like to accommodate our lady friend, we d > net think such a gushing epistle, with its alegaot poetical effusions, should be laid before the other dudes. When a young man gets so far gone at first sight he can deliberately write. “My love for you shall ever ttow, Like water down a 'later row,” he is just entering upon the "dying calf’ stage of extatic bliss and should not have his nerves shat fared by seeiug his effnsii ns in prin t , IN A WELI7 a lady Palls forty feet. Miss Pharr, daughter of J. J. Pharr, who lives in Cains District had a remarkable tall a few days since. She went to the well to draw a oncket. of water, in doing it the rope slipped off the whirl. She got up on the boxing to adjust the tope, and while standing there the plank bioke through with her and she fe'l to the bottom a dis tance of forty feet. The alarm was «iven and her father under great excitement at tempted to gc into the well to rescue her but jus. as he slarfed the young lady told him not to come as she was half way out After striking the water bhe found that she was not seriously hui7 And she set at once to work to get out. Getting hold of the rope she climbed up putting 1 er feet in the s epp, usually left bj well diggers in the walls and ha.l got half way out when htr friends had prepared to assist her. She was soon ex ricate-1 from her dangerous position aud it was ascertained that she sustained no material injury but her hands were burned by he* 1 holding onto the rope in her rapid descent. She is a young lady of pluck and nerve who will make her way ■hrough the world and not one of these eliminate creature that faints at the sight of a mouse. THAT WIFE WHIPPING We published last week a par agraph, referring to some man whipping his wife, near the Poor House. No name was meniioned, nor any sort of reference made, by which the individual guilty of such ungenilemanly conduct could be identified, except that he lived near the Poor House. As that is a thickly settled neighborhood, it certainly affected nobody who was iunooeiit of the charge. \\ e have received the following c numuuicatiou, handed in by the btieband of the lady who feels agneved, with the request that her name should not be published. As we publishe 1 no name before, we comply with her request. Jt the Crraud Jury sees proper to mvestigate the matter the guilty pariy will probably be then knowr. But here is the letter ; “Mr editor being that your pa per are medlfeg whith every ladya bu'sues i want to informe vure that what yore paper sen about the woman livin near the poor house being beaten is all faulsei am the woman tnat your paper accuses of being heated, it Blurted from u nigrows lies, my husborn i« a high tern peril man, but he has never put on me what your paper ses, 1 am awotnoa capie of teudmg to my own buissness. and wish o.her people to do the same, i think that i no how to manage my busboru better than you do i have bin living whith him about thir teen years aud if i dont no him no body dont. i will thank the pee ple if thay Have got any buissness to tend too to tend to it and let my rfarres alone, and i wish you would keep my uaine out of your columns, [Signed.] the woman that lives near the poorhouse. BUFORD HIGH SCHOOL. The Commencement Exercises of the Buford High School came off Friday 18th itlsf. The morn ing hour was *aken up with a class in mental arithmetic For two or three hours, this class solved the most intricate problems in an alysis, and all too, without paper, pencil or blackboar 1. It was one of the finest drilled classes we ev er heard. The prize, a gohl med al, was won by a yonng Mr. Pharr, The firs.' thing in the afternoon, was prize declamation. The prize was a beautiful gold medal. The contest was quite close, but it was awarded to Miss Anna Haygood. The recitations were all excellent Then came she spelling match, and for nearly three hours, these juveniles warred a tierce contest with some of Mr. Wubstei 4ucnt difficult orthogra phy, but the prize was finally wo" by a little .Miss Alien, whose giv en name w,- have forgotten Tim prizes were awarded bye Col. Geo. i , Bell, of Cumming, who made « short and happy ad d-ess. Tin audienc then listened to the oratci of the day, Hon. A. D.

Pi of Graham is an excellent teacher, and is building up one of the finest schools iu tb« county at this point. HORSE STOLEN. A THIRTY MILK RACE On last Saturday night, Wady Stevens, who lives at J. C Carrolls, ted his horse and went out after supper to turn him out iO graze When be got to the stable be found the lioise gone and on ex amining around became saiigfied that it was stolen. Calling up some of his neighbors he started in pursuit. He /racked the horse through Lawiencsville andtowards Jefferson. After daylight came he found that he was but a shor/ distance behind the thief, hearing of him at the houses as he passed T’he thief mint have knowu tha/ lie was being pursued as he con tinned to move rapidly. Eight or ten miles below town the pursurers lost their game for a white but iu an hour or two were on his trail again aud run him in near Hoschton. //ere they got iu sight of him and hallowed to some men cutting wteai in a field near the road to head him. W heu the thief saw he was almost to be cornered he jumped from the horse and took to the woods and made his escape Stevens got his horse and returned 10 Lawrence ville on yesterday, and had a war iant issued for his anest. Tue negro’s name is Lou Dunlap, and is well known iu the lower part of Gwinne/i The officers are on the lookout so him. BY HIS OWN HAND “Poisoned byStrich inf..” Three weeks ago we noticed in the local columns of Ike Herald the strange death of Th .mas Jon duu, second son of Thomas M. Jordan, who near town. He was found dead at the spring in a field iu which he had been at work. There was no reas on for his family and friends to suspect either foul play or suicide hut as the law required an inquest in such cases the coroner summon ed a jury, who returned a verdict that be came o his death fiom congestion produced, as they sup posed. by drinking too much cold water while veiy warm. We do not know what sort of aD examination was onule or what evidence, if any, was introduced, but it seems that the jury didnot give the matter that careful scruti ny which the law contemplates in such cases As it now appears that their verdict was eroneous, instead of death being produced from congestion as supposed, he died from strichuiue, administered by his owe hand. After the death of the youug man the contents of his pockets were removed and placed in a trank, and were not examined un til last Saturday. Among the arti cles found was a piece of paper crumpled up in an envelop used by Druggist. On unfolding it, the vyords “poisoned by strich nine,” was discoved. Opening tue envelop a scrap of paper was found, on which the last message of this young man was written with a pencil amt in the hand wri'ing of tue deceased. This letter, as will be seen from the copy which we publish below, shows that he deliberately commit ted Suicide by taking strichnine. How long he had been intending to take this step is mere conjec tion, but as th * envelop and paper were crumpled up and dirty, it i supposed that he had carried both in his pocket for several days and had considered the matter careful ly as he worked in the field. That evening be was working by him self and he doubtless took advan tage of the opportunity to carry into effect his determination to end his young life io this iimma ry way. It is a mystery that can not he explained. He wai an exemplarv young man, *nh happy a future, why be ehouiJliave de termined to snap the brittle thiead will probably never be known un til tbe Angel declares that “time shall be no more.” Tbe following is a copy of the letter : “Please lay my body away in the graveyard at grabdpa’s, by Willie. Please have my funeral prerched at my grave by Mr. Sul livan, abd let every body go away rejoicing. Oh, bow I hate to leave the Sun day School; bow / love ever schol ar as that school, and God only knows the love 1 have for /he •Superouteudeut of Union Grove.

LIFE AND HEALTH TO ME. Some sever, or eight years ago my right thigh was covered by a skin eruption, causing intense itching. In a short time it ex tended down the entire leg, which became iutiamed and tiualy broke out in siual/ sores between the knee and ankle. Swelling of the limb ensued, an I coud walokn dl or uut my fooito n the ground. The pan ran mo ulm< st distracted I tested the medical proffession thorougholy, having tried ail sys tems. Some of them brought ma temporaryrolief. I paidoui hun dreds of dollars but found no permauet benefit.

The ulcer had already eaten to the bonce. Two of the physicians reccommenked amputation of the limb as the only means of preserv ing life. I was almost in dispair when a friend s uggested to me to try Swift s Specific. I hesitated but tiunuily secured six bo’tles.
