Tho convention of track farmers held
Thursday in Tkomasrillc, was remsAable for
its good attendance and the earacsttsoss of its
members. 'Called together, as U was, for the
interchange of opinions, the members very
frankly elated the obstacles which they had
enoonntcred, and while severe, in-some cases,
upon railroaders aad oommisrionnuen, their
critklsms will have the effect of correcting
abuses next year. The result of<tite delibera
tions war. that poor Te terns, com-,
jinred vritSi previous years, -rewarded tho
labor of' the present year. Tbemanae for thie
■was to bo found in the bad -seasons, which
gave an inferior crop, and-the shipping of
snnch-worthlear product tothewnarketa. That
mil-present will increase their acreage next
year, shows that they see suscess ahead. The
insolations, passed complimentary to Tan
•Coas-nttmoxoro fully appreciated. In this,
:as In all other -enterprises, it
-has been the policy of Ten
-Cosstitctiox to fostor devel
opment that Georgians might thrive. In sll
that-is calculated to mskc 'Georgia great and
rich The Ccubtitutiuh is deeply concerned.

It can do no gdod to spread broadcast tho dis
grace of one of the best families of our county.
No one who sat as I did yesterday amid a
heartless crowd, drawn together by a morbid
curiosity to hear a crushed and helpless girl
recito with quivering lips, heaving bosom,
and tearful eye, the story of her ruin, and see
her grayhaired mother and father with towed
heads and trembling frames, can desire to
add one paog to tbe sorrow that is their*.
A preliminary trial on the charge ol sedu<>
tlon was held before W. O. Henderson and
A. J. Davis Justices, yesterday. The defend
ant, Albert Hardeman, a young medical stu
dent of Forsyth county, was represented by
Messrs. J. M Towery and J. 8. Clement. The
story told bv the young lady was but the
same one wo nave heard so often, a long and
loving courtship, engagement of marriage,
the placing of her good name and woman s
honor iu the keeping of the man she loved*
and when the results of an unholy paaiioa
could no longer be concealed, desertion. Iro*
vious to this and on the last visit no
ever paid her, at his suggestion all the letters
whicnjiasscd between them while he was at
tho Medical college in Atlanta wore burned.
The evidence developed the fact that the
overt net occurred in Forsyth county, and a.
new warrant was sworn out, and the case
transferred there for a hearing. A bastardy
warrant wassworn outand he was bound over
on that for trial at our next superior court,
the young lady being a resident of this conn-
She is a pretty blonde, seventeen years
u . u , with rlpo red Ilpa. o deep
blue eye, and a voluptuous form. Her lather
la one of our best dtfcenfi, and ono hears only
words of sympathy for tho mlsfortuno that
has befallen the family.
Alas, alas! When will woman learn that
honeyed sentences too ofton conceal the ser
pent's fang, and that
"Word* are false and men betray."
