Feb. 12, 1882. nr7p 32 ly The New City Law. Under the new law for the election of City Marshal and Deputy it is obanged, from by the people, to by the Mayor and Aldermen. The pres ent law, it is contended by its oppo nents, puts the Marshal and Deputy beyond the power of the Mayor and Board to displace them for ipiscon- duct or failure to discharge their du ties as officers, during the time for which they are elected. Under the new law these officers, deriving their position and authority entirely from the Mayor and Aider- men are amenable to them for good conduct and a fiiitllful discharge of official duties. It seems to us that this is without objection, and cannot fail to give satisfaction even to the men who seek these positions. It re lieves them of the harraBsing and ex pensive electionering with the igno rant and unprincipled, and places their cause in the hands of seven good men whose votes cannot be pur chnsod, or obtained by other dishon orable methods. irs, l> rairl m E* i rize CO | A. 9 3m Tuesday W lYAVu u "; lll V lle "omeof Mr. lit T in Midway last the TinO in' 1 b " ,he l««t meeting dod luncilTi This club lias af ital fOr t th0 ''“Provement^f 1 must- To-Night. raw*™*s*~SPSa flO p. m. s X,°? ra<luarter Ian. passing ns« t p 8 u lps on the Indly recugnitim 6acb ot her, give lizens of these mlghtvtJ haP i 8 the Ivon’s high-wav wm y t . rav ' elers on J. and good bv 1 " Xft “ange how- |ne rei o?u 1 S h ’ r ^'‘ve their silver billon m they p°aS er w5 lgn8 of r0 ‘ |hemselves. y ^ ’ l vri0 'vn only The Arm Clutch. iKlish women nro i hunt to the men bm M lally u sub ‘ Ickod ui) conT’nn-\ 1 they have Itttry. aughters of his own enga n ge that l lappons f tana *aarriaRefso^ n ° g nt8 iiro 80 [good prices t nav lttrket ’ Bet P ros " P s , if not the wlwn, a of y° ur h a » yo u should!eel tUen feel Now For Busineii- The Summer, just about to turn over its rule to its successor, the sea son of Harvest and Busy Life, has been a dolightful one so far as the absence of extreme heat could make It so.

A rumor that Maj. J. C. Lynes, re cently elected President of Middle Georgia Military and Agricultural College in' this city, was an Atheist, caused alarm in the minds of some of our good people. We are permitted to make the following extract from a letter written by Dr. Lynes, in re ply to a letter written by a gentleman in this city informing him of the ru mor. This authoritative denial should put this unfortunate rumor to rest, aud quiet all apprehensions. Mnj. Lynes writes under date of August 38: ... I am not an Athiest, never in my lire gave any onea reason to think me one unless my views, which accord with Rev. Dr. Boggs, on Evolution, have led the maliciously inclin- ed to the^ mistake. I am just such an Evolutionist, as is Dr. Boggs, the present Chancellor of tho University. There is nothing to argue in this, a simple avowal only is involved. Two Sundays ago in an article entitled Branch Colleges,” published in the 'Atlanta Constitution,” ljsaid “Let me not bo misunderstood: 1 nm a Christian and contribute to the sup port of all churches.” Tho avow al is iu print and before tho public of Georgia and tlio world.” Maj. Lynes is in the prime of life and possesses high attainments and great energy. Ho was recommend ed by many of the very best men of this and other States. It is impos sible that such uien should recom mend an unworthy man. In regard to his religions belief Governor Gordon says: “He is a firm believer in Chris tian religion—his rather and grand father were Baptist preachers.”— State School Commissioner Hook says, “he is a most worthy man.” Among a large number of recom mendations’ equally strong, we select the following letters from distinguish ed ministers, representing the throe leading denominations of Christians n this State: Marietta, Ga., July 12, 1884. Gentlemen of the Board : Roaring of the vacancy and Gloctlon soon to take place, I take pleasure in recommending very strongly Prof. J. C. Lynes. I nave known him for many years. My son was once a pupil of his and afterwards my daughter also, and when he was called to Shorter college, she with quite a number ol other young ladles, accompanied him aud grad uated at that college. I regard him as one of the most thor ough and accomplished teachers I have ever met. He has a love for his profession and also the faculty of Imparting to bis pupils something of hts own enthusiasm for learning. He is a gentleman of high tone morals, popular In his manners and pleasant In hts address. In tho scientific department, aud In Modern Languagee ho stands unrival led. 1 believe him capable of filling any sf the usual departments In any academy or college. Any city would be highly favored In socurlng the services of Prof. Lynes ae an educator or Superintendent of educa tion. Sincerely yours, (Signed) D. L. BurrornH, D. D„ Pastor Presbyterian Churoh, Marietta, Ga. Dalton, Ga., July 10th, 1884. To any Board of TrusteesI take great pleasure In saying that I know Prof. J. C. Lynes, personally, and can most cordially recommend him as an educated, moral gen tleman. He is a ripe scholar, and, as a teacher, has few equals and no superiors In his particular dent’s. Ho was President of tho Marlotia College and thore taught with unprecedented acceptability and suc- eese. He was called thence to Shorter Col lege and carried thither a largo number of his former pupils. 1 consider any school fortunate in securing his services as toach- er or superintendent. Respectfully, (Signed) S. P. Richardson, Pastor Methodist Church, Dalton, Ga. Shelrt, N. C., Sept. 23d, 1885. Bishop McTyhire : Dear Sir and Brother:—It gives me S loasuro to speak a kind word for Prof. . C. Lynes, of "King's Mt., Military School,” When 1 was President of Shorter College. Rome, Ga., ho filled tho Chair of Modern Languages to the entiro satisfac tion of myself and the Board of Trustees. Ho Is a geutloman of rare culture, an inde fatigable Instiuctor, and courteous in his deportment towards his associates and pupils. Should you give him a position in the Vanderbilt University, ho will fill it to your satisfaction, and I think, be a valuablo addition to your able Faculty. Yours Fraternally, R. I). Mallary, Ex-President Shorter College, Rome, Ga. Baptist Clergyman. We might publish similar letters from such distinguished ministers as Dr. Charles D. Michel of St. Louis, Rev. Dr. J. F. Lee, Rev. Dr. G. A. Nunnally, Rev. John Kershaw of Rome and others, but we do not deem it necessary. Ours ia decidedly a religious com munity, and we arc glad that it is. All denominations of Christians are represented among tho teachers in the college. It is natural that our people should feel a deep interest in its welfare, and that its high Christian excellence should be maiutained. The trustees, realizing to the fullest extent their duty and responsibility, believe they have'made no mistake in the selection of a President, uYul look with confidence for the endorsement and approval of the friends of the college. Catarrh Can t Bo Cured with LOCAL APPLICATION, as they can not reach tho seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it you have to take inter nal remedies Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally and acts directly on the blood aud mucus surface. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is no quack medicine. It was proscribed by one of tho best physicians in tills coun try for years, and Is a regular proscrip tion It is composed of tbo best tonics known combined with tho, best blood pu rifiers, acting directly on tho mucus sur face The perfect combination of tho two ngredionts is what produces such wonder ful results in curing Catarrh.
