We want some one to write a com¬
munication setting forth the real un

It is strange, but nevertheless true,
that every politician in Rockdale county
feels sore over the nomination of Mc¬
Daniel, and some of them go so far as
to say they wili support any one who
will antagonize Ifm. McDaniel has long
been a thorn in the side of the Rockdale
demagogue.
The Butts County Argus says that a
young woman of that comity has just
been adjudged a lunatic and sent to the
asylum, leaving a young husband with¬
out any visable means of support. It
was very wrong in the courts to adjudge
that woman a lunatic before she had
provided a support for that “young hus“
band.”

People as a general thing, are so apt to
deviate a iittle from the truth in report¬
ing the result of their fishing excursions,
that we think it prudent not to say any¬
thing tt all about our recent “lock” at
Peachstone Shoals. But if you desire to
know more about it, call on Capt. Tom
Broadnax and be will give you the
“facts.”

shipped to this place. They were manu¬
factured by Russell & Co., Massillon, O.
They are superior in workmanship and

Newton county, lost his pocket book be¬
tween this place and his home on last
Saturdry, which contained some money

It is said that a Conyers young lady
lived all of last week on the memory of
a parting kiss. Not so. We saw the
same girl last Friday evening standing
behind a rose bush in the garden devour
ing four onions, a pone of com bread ev¬
ery 15 seconds. Talk about the memory
of a parting kiss, but it takes onions and
green apples to mase a girl happy.
Bargains at G. W. Weaver & Bro’s for
the next ten or fifteen days, in conse"
quenee of having to move.
Elegant new lawn, prints, hats and
ati other goods at J. H. & N. M. Almaads

During the late war Hon- Henry D.
McDaniel had charge of an estate, the
property of which vested in orphan and
minor children. A portion of the prop¬
erty he sold aud invested the proceeds
in Confederate bonds. After the close
of the war, when the bonds were value
less, soon as be earned the amount he
so sound
redeemed every dollar with cur
rency- The people of Georgia should be
proud of so faithful and honest a son as
their executive officer.

anl deserving young men, in every way
worthy the fair flower which he has

est of his orange grove, After spend
ing several weeks in the 'and of flowers
they will return to Oxford We wish
them a long, happy and useful life.

AN EARLY MARRIAGE
An early marriage m ay be looked for
in thes parts—all on account of me Li¬
za. Tom’s girl is very offectionate, and
loves him with a ten horse E.-lips pow er,
and as Tom is, himself, pretty badlv
stuck on things affectionate, he allows
nor to wallow in Ins lap a good deal,
twisting his mustach and eating parched
goobers and striped candy out of his
pockets, of course these proceeding have
beeu kept secret from the old folks, but
the bad little boy, (every banquet has
its ghost) found out how thiugs were
going and on last Friday n ; ght procured
a rope, made a runnin; noose, and just
as Tom aud she was locked in a fond eti
trance slipped up behind, dropped the
rope over and bound them hard and
fast. A yell or two brought in the pa¬
ternal part of the household and matters
reached a cry—sis. Everytning has been
arranged now. No explanation was re -
quired—theltableau explained itself. Tom
says he is going to be married to the
nicest little girl in the land, but don t
mention that it is at the earnest solicita¬
tion of a double barrel shot gun in the
hands of a six foot father. We wish
them happiness
COUNTY COURT.
It is our humble opinion that the
worst day s work Rockdale county eve
did was the abolishing of her County
Court. With a good man for the judge
ship (and we have a number of them) it
will save to the tax payers of this county
from i to 2 thousand dollars every year.
It costs from $125 to $150 every day to
run our Superior Court and at least three
days are ta 'en up every session with
cases that could be settled by a County
Court. Our jail often has a number of
prisoners in it at a heavy boarding ex¬
pense to our people which, if we had a
County Court, could be JLposed of and
the expense averted- Let’s have a Coun¬
ty Court with a salaried judge and we
will save hundreds of dollars to our peo¬
ple.
