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. bushel. Cotton is by 110 means 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.
