Judge Jenkins opened the spring
session of the Superior Court yester
day morning with an able and ex
haustive charge to the Grand Jury
It was listened to with close attention
by a large number of our citizens and
we think our people are expecting a
wise and efficient administration of
Ins office by the new incumbent.
In his charge to the Grand Jury
yesterday Judge Jenkins, in giving
tlie customary charge concerning the
public roads, expressed the opinion
that tlie best disposition which could
be made of our penitentiary convicts
would be to set them to work on the
public roods. This he thought oould
be done by the state or it might be
done by the several counties, each
county working its own convicts. In
the use of the last named plan, the
chain-gang convicts could be also
used. The judge remarked that
while such a matter did not some
within the direct jurisdiction of the
Grand Jury, they had the right of
making recommendations upon suoh
subjects. The subject is a very iin-r
portant one and we think thfe judge’s
suggestion was wise and pertinent.
A Lively Runaway Accident.
On Sunday night last, the Herdic of
Messrs. Bland & Co., was placed in
charge of a careless negro at the M.
* A. Railroad depot by the driver
while he was attending to other busi
ness, when tlie horses dashed off down
Jefferson street and kept it until they
reached tlie corner at tlie Catholic
church. There they turned to the
right along Hancock street, ran past
the stable, turned the corner at the
drug store, and continued at full
speed till they came to the telegraph
polo just before they reached the Ho
tel. Here one horse went to the left,
and tlie other to the right, and made
n centre shot of the tongue of the
Herdic against the telegraph pole
with sucli force as to break the tongue
and shake down the cross pieee at
the top of the pole which sustained
the telegraph wire. Both horses
were very soon secured, and it was
found that no damage was done, ex
cept that above mentioned. It was
rather a remarkable performance,
considering that the Herdic kept up
on its wheels the whole distance,
(nearly a mile) and that it was whisk
ed around the corners at two differ
ent street crossings at a high rate of
speed. Fortunately no one was in
the vehicle, and nobody was hurt.

HYMEN IAL.
The Messenger brought us au elab
orate account of what it calls “one of
the most brilliant affairs ever witness
ed in Eatonton,” viz; the marriage of
Mr. Thos. Butler Couper to Miss Sal-
lie Lon Nisbet, daughter of Dr. R. B.
Nisbet of Eatonton.
Mr. Couper is doubt less a member
of the old family of that name, on tlie
coast of Georgia, which for genera
tion after generation has been distin
guished for tlie high personal quali
ties of its members and the distin
guished position it has always held
among the gentry of that section.
Miss Nisbet belongs to a family too
well-known in this part of Georgia to
require anything to be said concern
ing them. Tlie Union-Recorder
wishes the happy couple happiness
and prosperity.
We have opened and marked this
week a beautiful lot of Jaconet edg
ing*, and insertions, 'checked muslin*,
new calicoes, in medium shades, and a
splendid line of new bleaching.

The Milledgeville Recorder advises
capitalists looking out for investments
to look around its town at the vast
water power, etc. Probably the
printer made the error; a power of
water is the thing that now interests
the people of that good old prohibi
tion town.—Conran t-American.
Where there is a power of water is
the best place to invest in water-pow
er.
The following board of Trustees of
the Lunatic Asylum was appointed by
tlie governor on the 3d inst., the term

Dr. James D. Erwin, of this county,
and Dr. Thomas S. Hopkins, of Thomas
county.
Tlie 14tli of February is the time
when many people plant Irish pota
toes, and some other people invest
in love letters. The latter last the
longest, but there are more square
meals and solid comfort in th* former.
