Those who are in any way
indebted to the Weekly are
hereby notified that the same is
to be paid the present publish
cr. No one, other than our¬
self, is authorized to receipt
for past indebtedness and we
trust that this notice will fur¬
nish sufficient information for
all those who are behind with
the paper. We make this an¬
nouncement because of many
inquiries regarding same.
J. II Wallis, Pub.
Editor Shaver is making the
Dalton Aagus one of the bright¬
est and newsiest weeklies in the
State.

The National Democratic
Convention will be held in Chi¬
cago on July 7tli. Chicago won
on the 28th ballot .
All the papers are talking of
prospective candidates, naming
available men and making many
predictions. The time seems to
be always iipe for such sub¬
jects.
The old Liberty Bell will be
carried back to Philadelphia
next week. A committee of
Philadelphians and a committee
of Atlanlians will escort the old
treasure (0 its home.
Speaking of eligible men for
the supreme court bench, it
would lie a deserved compli¬
ment to Judge Richard II.
Clark to place that distinguish¬
ed jurist in such an honorable
position, and lie has the expe¬
rience and ability to sustain it.
—-Rome Tribune.
Morgan’s jail is a joke, and a
stale one at that.—Madison Ad
vertiser.
So is Rockdale’s bro.lier, but
we have an Ordinary who, iu
our opinion, will look into the
defects of our pretentious look¬
ing rock palace (?) at an early
day.
The Morgan Syndicate lias
dissolved. It succeeded in dis¬
tributing about 200,000,000 of
bonds among its members and
now considers its duty perform¬
ed and steps aside—so says J.
Pierpont Morgan. Where
comes the benefit to the people
from this exhibit of J . Pierpont’s
patriotism?
The Rome Tribune is a “hum¬
mer” every day. Editors
Knowls and Folsom have their
hands full, but the paper is al¬
ways good reading from begin
ing toeud, advertisments and
all. Rome is to be congratu¬
lated upon having a paper that
reflects the town so perfectly
each day.
We would like to have your
name on our subscription list,
MomtMy Report.
Tlicre seems to be a growing
desire on the part of
some of our citizens, to have a
tiller knowledge of the business
affairs of the city, and looking
toward the gratification of this
desire, they are advocating the
of a monthly report
by the city council. Without
employing argument we say
that this is the proper thing to
do and we have been assured
that at the next regular meet¬
ing of the council this question
will be considered. Both may¬
or and council are new, having
been installed only a short time,
but the personal of the body in¬
spires us to remark that the
very best interests of the citi¬
zens and town will be promo¬
ted, and advancement made
wherever and whenever possi¬
ble. We have that faith in
them that forbids us suggesting
their duty.
Editor M. D. Irwin of the
Georgia Populist says: “The
fanners of Rockdale county
save from tnree to five dollars
per ton on their guano by co-op¬
erating in its purchase. Geor¬
gia farmers could save a round
million every year on guano a
lone if thev would all co-oper¬
ate.”
The-Atlanta Constitution lias
sent Mr. P. J. Moran to Cuba.
Its readers will be furnished
with the latest and most reliable
news relating to the Cuban
struggle foi liberty from this
time on. The Constitution is
equal to any emergency at any
time. Great is the Constitu¬
tion !
The Cuban rebels are doing
their work well. Destruction
of towns and plantations seems
to be their hobby, and so com¬
pletely is Campos out-gcneraled
at every turn by Gomez, he
has become disheartened and
sent in his resignation to Spain.
The rebels arc succeeding ad¬
mirably.
Here is the way the Madison
Advertiser speaks of the Mor¬
gan county jail:
“Last Saturday night there
was another wholesale escape
of prisoners from Morgan coun¬
ty’s patent, case-hardened, slate
covered, noucombustible, bur¬
glar-proof, double-lined, rein¬
forced, rock-ribbed, coal-rolled,
liand-forgod, custom-made,
nickel plated, water-worked e
lectric-lighted spring-locked,
broken-bottled-brick-vvailed foi
ty-five-iiundred-dollar jail.,,
If the farmer should reduce
the cotton acreage, this year, a
little every time they are
ed so to do they would make a
small crop indeed. It is well
enough to diversify the
and live at home, but at
same time the farmer is
the question softly “what will
corn be worth next year
time if we make a crop
year such as we did last?”
Corn is now worth 35 cts.

tlie only cheap farm
On the 10th of
Governor Atkinson will hold
tliK special investigation of the
charges made against the
vict lease system in vogue
this state. i he investigation
will be held in the senate
ber at the capitol and the gov
eruor will preside as judge and
the state and the
will have attorneys and wit
nesses, making altogether
court of investigation, and
findings of this court will
very important, as it will give
the people of the state the true
story of the workings of the
present system.—Constitution,
Mr, J. II. Wallis of DeKalb
county was here Wednesday.
M. W. G. Brown, of Social
Circle, spent Sunday here.
Mr. W. J. Waldrop, of
ihouia, was in the city Sunday.
feveral email boys were
pciinienting with a bottle
powder at. school yesterday ev¬
ening. It didn’t take long for
them to produce an explosion.
Wo understand that Frank
Tucker was injured most.
We were shown by Mr. Lanfc
Farrill, yesterday, a copy of the
Southern Christian Advocate
printed 38 years ago at Charles¬
ton, S. (J. It contains an obit¬
uary notice of Mrs. Rachel E.
Crage, wife of Ira IT. Oage and
daughter of William and Chari¬
ty Keziah, of Moclenburg coun¬
ty, N. C. The death occurred
at Snapping Shoals (then in
Henry county) Feb, 18th, 1858.
This lady was Mrs. Farrill’s
mother, and this leads us to ex¬
plain that the lady now visiting
her is her step-mother.
Another Wedding,
The marriage of Miss Mamie
Stewart, of our town and Mr.
Dwight Green, of Henry coun¬
ty, was solemnized at the home
of the bride’s parents Mr. and
Mrs. W. T. Stewart, last Tues¬
day evening. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. Pharr,
of Henry county. May this
union of hearts bring to the
young couple happiness through
life.
Happy . marriage.
In t> e forenoon of Wednes¬
day, and in the presence of a
large number of her friends.
Miss Odom Harden, daughtei
of Mr. Mrs. W. F. Harden, of
this city, and Mr. Ollie Willing¬
ham, a prominent young busi¬
ness man of Cedartown, were
happily wedded at the home
of the bride’s parents. Rev. Dr
Ragsdale officiated in his usual
impressive manner.
Many beautiful and costly pres
ents were received by the young
couple, as well as hearty con
gratulalions and good wishes,
from their numerous friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Willingham left
on the noon train for their fu
turn home at Cedartown .
The Weekly joins their
friends in wishing them all
happiness through life.
Sikot to Oeatlih
Oh last Tuesday night, at the
home of a Mr. Bornes, tenant on
Mr. W. R. White’s farm, in
Sheffield district, Mr. Logan
Bradford, twenty two years old
and son of Mr. Tom Bradford,
shot and instantly killed Mr.
John Echols, sou of Mr Joe
Echols. The dead man leaves a
wife aud one child.
The shooting occured about
° clock. It seems that quite
a number of young people had
| assombJed at Mr, Bornes’ home
to enjoy a sociable, and during
the progress of the occasion
some misunderstanding arose
between these two gentlemen
and resulted in the shooting.
Messrs. Will White and
George Gamp witnessed the
shooting. The Coroner, Mr. L.
T. Farrill, and Sheriff Austin
' v ©re notified. They went over,
the sheriff secured Mr. Bradford,
The coroner held an inquest and
fr., ln A a erdict of murder, , rr foe ,
. oun » nian was brought to
Gouyers and lodged in jail. On
Thursday be was removed from
our jail to that of Dekalb coun
tv for safe keeping,
Both of the unfortunate

families aud the affair is deeply
regretted.
