during the war was one of the finest
specimens of mule llesh that our
informant ever saw, and she is now
in fine condition and full of life.
Mr. Clay bought the mule directly
after the war, from Mr. Seab Fam
brough, General Anderson’s courier.
If France and Germany succeed in
getting up their war, and Gen. Tige
Anderson goes, Laura is ready to
enter the fray with her old general.
GRAND JURY PRESENT¬
MENTS.
Geokgi \ Rockdale County :
We the grand jury for the Feb.
term of the Superior Court of said
county for the year 1887, beg leave
to make the following partial gen¬
eral presentments.
We find the public roads in the
county having been well worked
and that the bridges are in a good
condition. We recommend the Or¬
dinary to confer with the Ordinary
of DeKalb county and have the
bride across South river, known as
the “Parker’s Bridge,” repaired and
kept in good condition, and the Or¬
dinary pay prorata of tns cost of
said repairs in the same proportion
that the amount of taxable proper¬
ty of this county bears to the same
of DeKalb.
We recommend the Ordinary to
have built a foot-way across the
swamp near the McCalla bridge on
Big Haynes creek.
We find the public buildings in
good order except a little repairs
are necessary in the Clerk’s office
and on the jail.
We find thirteen paupers at the
pauper home, and that they are
well cared for and well satisfied.
We have examined through our
committees, the records in the Or¬
dinary’s office, and the Clerk’s of¬
fice, the dockets of the Sheriff, the
Tax Collector’s books, the county
Treasurers books and the county
School Commissioners books, and
find them all properly and cor¬
rectly kept,
We find in the Treasury $900,29
as pauper funds, and no county
funds.
We recommend that Jack Love
col., be placed on the pauper list,
and that his wife be permitted to
go with him to wait on him at the
pauper home, and that she be cared
for by the county whilst there.
x
We recommend that Mr. W. A.
Mitchell be appointed Notary pub¬
lic for the 1251st district Q. M. of
this county.
We recommend the Ordinary to
draw on the county Treasurer for
$217-65, the same being for servi¬
ces rendered the county for which
there is no fee prescribed by law',
making the amount received by
him as Ordinary for the year 1886,
$293, exclusive of marriage li¬
cense fees.
We find that the dockets of the
Justice of the peace and Notaries
public are propperly kept.
We have not fully ascertained
the indebtedness of the county, but
will do so and assess the tax at the
adjourned term of the court.
In taking leave of his honor, Jas.
S, Boynton, we return our thanks
to him and the Soliciter, E. Worn
mack, for courtecies extended to us.
We request that these present¬
ments be published in the county
papers and that each be paid five
dollars for same.

FROM BIRMINGHAM,
Special Correspondence.
Editor Weekly : This is certainly
one of the most wide a-wake pro¬
gressive cities on earth. It is git up
and git, from early dawn to dewy
eve. Even the “coons” have caught
the fever, they seem to take as
much interest in the welfare of the
city as the whites. The sudden
rise in property has put many of
the dusky brothers in good finan¬
cial circumstances. I mefi'up with
one of the old colored citizens yes
terdey, and I asked him if he did
not think this great boom would
soon die out and leave Birmingham
a fit subject for a coroners jury ?
“Bos 3 do you see dose mountains
ober dar, well sir when dey melt
away through our furnaces
and nothing remains but a hole in
de ground den Birmingham will
collopse, but not ’till den, so do
not bo oneasy.” I took it for grant¬
ed that he was right. I walked in
and took a job of emptying
schooners and would not allow
myself to be the least bit uneasy.
There is very little difference
between the people hern and
Atlanta. Here the business men
rise earlier m the morning than
they do in Atlanta, But in Atlanta,
the business men walk a great deal
faster, which makes about a stand
off.
Birmingham is destined to be one
of the greatest rail road centers in
the South, one of the most promi¬
nent roads leading through here is
the Georgia Pacific, which has been
extended from here to Columbus
Mi3S. It will soon be open and
under one management from At¬
lanta to Columbus. Under the
management of R. C. Anderson as
master of trains, and Mr. Garner as
superintendent, the G, P. R. R.
stands second to no road in the
Union. Business on the line is in¬
creasing rapidly, while accidents
are decreasing.
It is said in rail road circles here
that Col. J. Hamp Bryans of your
city is the boss rail road conductor
that comes to Birmingham.
