and on the 211th of June, Mr. B. E.

Death of Mrs. Annie Tyler.
“Death loves a shining mark” is an
old and trite saying and it was well
illustrated in tlie death of Mrs. Annie
Tyler of this county, which occurred
on Wednesday morning last. Hlie had
been siok for several weeks and had
suffered greatly. Death would doubt-
been having no lit4* trouble' with its
hoard of commissioners.”
Now, Mr. Editor, I wisli to say your
information is at fault and yon do the
county of Hancock and its Board of
Commissioners great injustice, and
this injustice has been more than once
repeated in your columns. The coun
ty has had no trouble with its Com
missioners at all. Whatever trouble
lias existed has been for the most
part abroad and on paper—in the col
umns of the lshmaelite, the Union A
Rkcordkk, the Chronicle and the Ea-
tonton Messenger.
The lshmaelite did have a trouble,
a quarrel, with the Board because
the Board would not uccede to its
terms for the county printing. The
lshmaelite essayed to boss the Board ;
the Board wouldn’t be bossed and
thereupon the lshmaelite showed
light, and light it did, such fighting
as it was. A fellow feeling makes us
wondrous kind, and so the Union &
Recorder began to waste its pow
der, tlie Chronicle man put on his
spurs, rose in his stirrups, rent his
galli-gnskins and belabored his edito
rial steed most furiously, while the
Messenger man in a single article in
volved nimself in a network of bliss
ful ignorance concerning the situa
tion, from which, perhaps, he will
never be extricated. And so it has
been a war of four papers, three of
whom had no interest in the quarrel,
upon three Commissioners who were
pursuing the even tenor of their way
and in the conscientious discharge of
public duty.
Allow me, Mr. Editor, to say that
I know tlie law establishing a Board
of Commissioners for Hancock to be a
good law, that the Board Itself is a
good Board and that it is doing good
and effective work for the county. As
a citizen of that county I had tlie
pleasure of introducing and pushing
to successful issue before the grand
jury the original resolution, which,
after being ratified by a subsequent
jury, wus embodied in tlie present
law.
The law creates a Board of three
Commissioners elected by the grand
jury; term of office three years; all
vacancies to be filled by grand jury
and the term of office of one of the
three expires with the spring season
of the Superior court. The present
incumbents are Hon. John L. Culver,
of Culverton, Mr. Win. Stevens, of
Sparta, and Mr. A. J. Smith, of Island
Creek—men of means, intelligence,
and moral pluck, representing tlie in
telligence and virtue of the county
and I think T can safely say that
neither of the representatives from
Hancock desire, npr do the people of
the county desire, to disturb the law.
This law, the stock law, and I think
the prohibition law are fixtures there
—some unhappy souls to the con
trary.
Allow me further, Mr. Editor, a
word in reference to the situation
here. (Haven’t been here ten years;
couldn’t he a Commissioner if I would
and lienee have no ambition in that
direction.; It is generally conceded,
I believe, that that form of county
government is best which is best ad
ministered, whether the functions of
office be in the hands of one man,
three men or five men. A government
is not necessarily good because in tlie
pretty home on the oaken hill where,
in his youth, he had cherished his
first, beautiful young bride, Susie
Murph, and his saintly second one,
Miss Leonard of Columbus, the mes
sage caine that called him uway to
Heaven amid the blessing and weep
ing of the wife of his old age, and of
his children whom he had lived to see
come to honor.
He was gentle as a woman, yet the
bravest knew him as their peer in tiie
virtue of courage.
Kindness was the law of his life.
Whether moving in the circles of the
eloquent and great, or in the cottages
of liis negro tenantry, thutgrace gave

With this view it seems tome that
ed the ^taking away from an aged Editors, to say the least of it, show

hie of strong affections; from a young
husband who had just entered upon a
full appreciation of tlie happiness of
conjugal life of a beloved wife and a
loving mother from a bright and
promising little son, whose future ca
reer she must have looked forward to
with happy anticipations. Who can
appreciate'the distress and anguish
on the one hand of her who saw the
approach of death and realized all its
consequences, not to herself alone
but to all her loved ones and the ter
rible distress on the other Jiaml of
those who saw her, upon whom tlieir
strongest nnd best love was fixed,
about to be taken from tlieir sight
and companionship for the remainder
of tlieir earthly lives. Every event
of this kind lias its own peculiar cir
cumstances and surroundings and
every stricken heart has its own bur
dens, that none can comprehend but
themselves.
Mrs. Tyler was tlie daughter and
only child of Mr. and Mrs. Win. R.
Ennis of the Western part of this
county. She was highly endowed by
nature witli personal charms and pos
sessed a happy and lovable disposi
tion.
In her girlhood she attended the
Lucy Cobb Institute in Athens and
graduated there. Heveral years since
she was married to Capt. W. R. Ty
ler, formerly of Barnesville, Ga., and
was living a happy married life up to
the time that death severed ail her
earthly ties. She loft only one child,
a sprightly bov of four or five years
of age, who will doubtless be a great
comfort to both liis father and grand-
pureuts.
On Thursday last, the remains of
'tlie deceased were brought- to‘this
city, accompanied by a number of the
neighbors of the family, and after the
usual funeral services, conducted at
the Methodist church by Rev. Mr.

completed at the cemetery. We
cannot close without tendering our
sincere sympathies to those who have

to assail the institution of another
county in order to sustain one of their
own. So far as the argument against
a Board of Commissioners for Bald
win oounty is concerned it seems to
glad and
presence.
For honesty and tanor he was pro
verbial—transparent and cheerful as
light.
He would never accept office,
though from youth to old age the
people wished to honor him there
with.
He was an advanced farmer, and
did perhaps as much as any one to or
ganize and give system and force to
county and State oonventionk to pro
mote farming.
He was the fountain whence sprung
the temperance stream that now
floods Baldwin county. Years ago he
agitated and sowed the county thick
with prohibition thoughts, saving
many from the liquor habit in those
early days, making the generation
ready to achieve the late temperance
victory iu his county.
He was amongst the best of Stew
ards. It was A saying with those of
Milledgeville when in a special strait
“we need S. E. Whitaker now,”—the
secret hereof is he loved the church,
loved the Gospel and souls, loved the
preachers, and love commanded his
time and talents for God. Tlie Au
gusta district will miss his cheerful, |
liberal words and ways, the “go for-1
ward” of liis financial brain and large j
heart. Take him all in all as a chris- j
tian citizen liis like is seldom seen. A I
few years ago a group of Athenians,

nize as amoiUp the most cultured of
Christians, seeing Prof. Rutherford
cross the street, one said, “Now that
James Jackson has gone to heaven
there goes the-best man in Georgia,
unless 8. E. Whitaker is the best.”
Far and near the sweet odor of his
Christ-like character has spread.

Lunatic Asylum.
In our acoouut of Legislative pro
ceedings, we give the Macon Tele
graph’s report of tlie discussion be
tween Mr. Hunt of Hancock and Dr.
Kenan, concerning the oommittepB to
investigate the Lunatic Asylum. We
find in tlie Atlanta Constitution a
report of the same incident more
full anil somewhat different in regard
to tlie suhstauoe of what were said,
and we therefore print it also, as fol
lows:
TUK LUNATIC ASYLUM INVESTIGATION.
Iu the Rouse yesterday, Mr. Hunt offer
ed a resolution that as the standing com
mittee on lunatic asylum had appointed a
•uh-oommlttee to visit and inspect the lu
natic asylum iu conjunction with a like
sub-oommlttoo on the part of the Henate
that the special committee raised by the
House be relieved of that duty.
Mr. Kenan asked If the resolution was
out of order, as the committee are only
waiting for tho train to take them to Mll-
1 edge vi lie.
“Tho resolution is In order,” aald the
speaker.
Mr. Hunt said: “1 do not wish to reflect
upon any committee or individuals, but
the action of the house In appointing this
special uouimlrtee Is a reflection on tne
whole asylum committee, and is equally a
reliectloii on tho seuato. It Is an Intima
tion that the slundiug committee have not
the honesty, integrity or muiihood to in
vestigate the asylum. I make no charges
against the special committee. The mem
bers are all good men. It will be recollect
ed that a resolution appointing a joint
committee from the senate and house, to
Investigate the lunatic asylum, was pass
ed In the senate, but tabled in the house,
During the recess, however, It was agreed
to visit the asylum. Dr. Walker nnu my
self went there at our owd expense.”
“Did you not say to me," asked Mr. Ken
an, "that Dr. Felton said the committee
would have no authority to investigate the
asylum, and could only look at the artesian
well?"
Mr. Hunt—"I romember distinctly the
language I used to you. You asked me it
the committee could act officially wbeu
there was not a quorum present, and I
replied that we couid do nothing more Uiau
look at thearteelan well and make a rnlaor-
Ity report. I never doubted the right or
authority of the committee to Inveetigate
the asylum. I am no partisan of tho luna
tic asylum. It Is due the oommlttee that
It be allowed to investigate the lestltutiou,
If tkelr report is not satisfactory, let a
special committee be appointed to Investi
gate the committee on lunatic asylum.
•This Is puerile legislation, replied
Mr. Kenau, "and a reflection ,on the speuk-
When we met in tlie parlor of tjie lu
natic asylum Senator Jackson offered a
resolution that we should corns to the cap
ital ant appoint a sub-committee to in
vestigate tho asylum, but we were
notified that we had no authority.
I am not afraid of the investigation.
It would seem that this resolution Is
throwing obstacles iu the way of an inves
tigation, and its passage would be a dis
courtesy to me and the special committee.
It is charged that I want to oast the su
perintendent. I fling It back with con
temptuous iiellance. I have made no
charge agaiast the officers, but am after
tha trustees. I move to table the resolu
tion.
Mr. Kenan called for the yeas and nays,
which was sustained, and the original res
olution was voted down by yeas 911, nays

Library for The Asylum
In another place in this paper is an
interesting and vuluable communica
tion from our correspondent, “C
Sharp,’’ in wliicli lie urges the forma
tion of a library for the Lunatic Asy
lum, by the voluntary contributions of
all the citizens of our State, who may
feel diposed to donate volumes that
they can spare. Tlie plan seems to us
entirely feasible, and we are sure
there are thousands of people in Geor
gia who only need to have the mat
ter suggested to them, who in tlieir
sympathy for tlie afflicted and tlie na
tive generosity of tlieir hearts would
freely and promptly give some of
their surplus books to so desirable
a purpose. Very many have histories
they could spare, and hooks on re
ligious subjects, and perhaps books
of travel, that would be both use
ful and interesting, and then in
almost every intelligent family are
novels wliich- having been read once
are of but little further value. All
these would go to furnish reading
suitable to different tastes nnd tlie
whole would he a treasure to many
in the asylum who find tlie time
hanging very heavily on tlieir hands
for want of something to give exer
cise to their mental faculties.
We sincerely hope tlie suggestion of
our correspondent that the press of
the State will give publication to this
proposed effort to benefit our unfor
tuuate insane, will meet with s
prompt response, and that our breth

Mr. Edward B. Brown, of Hancock
county, informed us that as he was
coming along tlie public road near
Black Springs on Saturday morning
last, he passed a depression in a field
shaped like an immense saucer, which
the recent rains have nearly filled
with water, although it had a good
crop of cotton on it at tlie end of tlie
long drouth. A strange tiling howev
er attracted his attention, viz: that
the road for 1.50 or 200 yards was
speckled witli tiny little frogs, many
and perhaps most of them not larger
than tlie end of one’s little linger,
which the approacli of liis horse would
start to hopping in such numbers as
to remind one of myriads of little
grasshoppers, iueh as all persons fa
miliar with country life may at times
have observed in walking through
the fields. It was tlie vast number of
the little creatures wliich excited liis
attention, and the question remains
unanswered, “where did they oome
from?”
