Editor Herald- —Some time .ago 1 was arrested and incarcerat ed iu the common jail of this coun ty on a trumped up charge of car rying concealed weapons. The late grand jury failed to make a case against me, and so I was ie< at liberty. M bile in jail I was the room mate of a certain John L. Jenkins. As nataral, our intimacy increased so one day we sent oat after a deck of cards to while away the monotony of the time, I was the game keeper, when we had played nearly all the morning, a dispute arose about the game. A fight was iheconsequence. I learn that Jenkins is now going around the country telling he whip ped me. Wow, the truth is: If aDy body got whipped it was Jen kins. I notice too, that he said I begged, he was the first to say ‘-Enough,’' srd 1 told Sheriff’ Cosby if he would turn us both out oil the ground, I would wear the ground out with him. If Jenkins thinks he has whipped me, and thinks he can do it, just let him tell me so. I want to be set right be fore the people, C. W. J, Mitchell. his X mark. LETTER LIST.

DRAMATIC ENTERTAINMENT The heavy rein lass Friday night did not prevent a good audience assembling as the Seminary to wit ness the entertainment by the Lawrenceville Dramatic Club, al though many were kept at borne l»y the threatened storm. The entertainment was golton up by Prof, and Mrs. Newton, to assist in paying for the furniture of the school room. The dramat ic personals were young ladies and gentleman of the town, Mrs, //erring presided at the organ accompanied by Frank F. Pentecost and Hosa Jchnsod with violins. The drama “Out in the Streets, ” is Interesting and thrilling, rivit ing the attention of the audience to its close, There is sufficient variety of fun and pathos to keep .hepl*yfrom bacoming tiresome even to the children. We had no idea that our villiage could produce such artistic talent as was displayed in this play. We have seen many tronps on the road that didqot surpass theirs either in faithfl acting, elocution or the songs. They have evident |y made good use of their short training. Part second was a gy pay scene in which these wanders of the earth were well represented in dress and manners. Dancing round the maypole and the sue cessful platting of the ribbons around the pole, in the dance brough' down with rounds of ap plause. /t is certainly a difficult feat but was accomplished without a single mistake The entertain met closed with the laughable farce of “Jumbo Jum. ’ By request of a large number of the audience, the entertainment will be repeated so night. We can assure"those who failed to ats tebd before (hat they will find they will be charmed with the acting as well as have some fun. We are selling tinware at prices never before hoard of .n this mar ket. Jnsf think of a ten inch wash pan for sc. at Houston St Powell RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT. Whereas, our honored and be loved brotner, Isaac S Petty, has been called from the sorrows of earth to the joys of Heaven, it is eminently right and proper that wo should put upon record some expression of our grief sud sc is row at 1 is loss, and of our estimate of his virtaes and graces. There fore be it Resolved, That we feel unfeign ed sorrow in the loss sustained by our Church in the death of our be loved brother—a loss which, seems to us almost itreprable. 2, That it is a source of infinite pleasure and satisfaction, that we can bear testimony to the uniform Christian conduct uiic conversa tion of our brother. In all of his sickness he seerued ready to meet the monster death, and often ex pressed bis willingness to cross the river where sickness would be no more. 3, That to his beieaved family, upon whom the loss falls the heav iest; we extend our warmest sym pathies, and for them we will offer up our most earnest prayers. 4, That a copy of these resolu tions bo sen f to the family of the deceased, and to the Chiistian In dex and Gwinnett Herald for pub ltcation. We give the following facts in the life of brother Petty. He was born in Morgan County. Ga., in the year 1818, and jo : ned tho Baptist Church iu his 19tb year. He came to this county in the 33rd year of his life, and mar ried Miss Sarah Young in the year 1858. They raised nine children, all of whom are near grown. The funeral services were con ducted by the pastor, Rev, J. W. W r ebb, October 9th 1885, at which a large concourse of relatives and friends gathered to pay their last tribute of respect and affection. Let us all emulate his virtues and imitate his example, and earnestly pray God that we may be as ready and as willing to depait this life as our beloved brother. J. C M. October 14th 1885. IN MEMORIAM. Pearl, daughter of Mr, and Mrs. J, P. Roekmore, departed this life Oct. 31st- She was a loving daughter, an amiable child, and an affectionate sister. But God lies seen fit in his grest power to take from us our little friend." I do gre; tly sym patize with th ; Dereaved parents and pray God to sustain and com fort them in time of their severe affliction. Weep not fond parents as thoi6 who have no hope, but jive such a life as to meet her in heaven, She was the brightest pearl of the household, but even now, uie<* thinks I cen see her thinning light in the pearly gates of glo.y, shin ing even brighter, and more beau tiful than ever. Sue loved and cared for her Sunday School, and in that we lope a dear nieuber. She was ever at her pos(, ready and willing for anything to the ad vaucement of the cause, She was taken in the bloom of youth, adorned by the love show ered upon her by friends, and fam ily. If she had one fault I knew it not. She now sleep her ias sleep; aud I feel sure that the threat Arbiter of the univers will deal tenderly wiih that great spirit in which these who knew ter most intimately could find no guile. It seems but yesterday that she wh lending a new ray of lighi to her many friends, to day, she is cold And silent in the tomb. “Oh grav! where is thv victory ? Oh death ! where sting ?” We mourn the death of our lit-, ila friend, but let us say, as Ciceo once said to bis friend Scipio . “Fo evil has happened to her; if to any it has happened to us who have lost her.” And now in conclusion let me say 4 to the bereaved parents and family, bow submissively to the will or God, beseeching him to sanctify to us these solurnn eveuts Deeply impress upon onr minds a sense of our mortality, of the shortness and uncertainty of life, and may we so live as ever to be ready for our depirfure, when it shall please God to call us hence O, spirit ! take your rest. You are richer but we are poorer. Yet, because you have been with us, life is bettei and heaven snrer. Ida E. Brand. Loga/tville, Ga. Nov 3rd 1875. LOGANSVILLE DOINoS. Death has again invaded our villiage and found its victim in the sweet tempered obedient gial Pearl Rockmore, eldest daughter of Mr. J. P. Rockmore.
