FUNERAL NOTICE.
The friend* and acquaintances of Mb.

are reepoctfuflyrequosted to attend the
funeral of the former from his late resi
dence next to Corner of Forsyth and Bryan
streets this (FRIDAY) afternoon at sy,

Col. G. A. Miller is in the city.
Mrs. Gen. French and family arrived
here last night. Gen. French will he on
very soon. They have bought the Stroth
er place in Wynnton, which will be their
future home.
Wo have received a call from Mr. M. G.
Brady, of Marion county, who desire us
to correct a notice of his candidacyfor the
State Legislature made some weeks
ago. In the notice referred to
Mr. Brady was mentioned as an “Indo
peudent” candidate, running against the
regular nomination, whereas he claims to
have had a regular nomiuee by tho Dem
ocrats of tho county. Tho fact seems to
be that several gentlemen whose names
wore before the first convention hold,
and Mr. Brady’s was among thorn), with
drew from that convention because of Ir
regularities, and itatf a subsequent con
vention, at which Mr, Brady was almost
unanimously nominated, Hence he
claims to have been a Democratic nomi
nee, and In no wise an Independent, and
as much entitled to run as was his op
ponent. . * -

Death at Judge Shivers.
Those who have had an opportunity of
marking tho slow, but steady Inroads of
disease upon the health of Judge Thos. J.
Shivers, for several months past, will feel
but little surprise at the announcement of
his death this morning. Ue died at his
residence in this city yesterday about two
o’olock in the afternoon, after a confine
ment to his room of two or three weeks;
during which time ho was a groat, but
patient sufferer from a complication of
stubborn diseases that defied all efforts of
his physicians to alleviate. Ills age was
about sixty-five years.
Thus another of our oldest citizens has
passed away, leaving but few behind
whose residence here dates back to a
period So remote. Indeed, it is doubtfnl
whether any citizen is now living whose
recollection reaches to tho date of his
coming. His aged and widowed wife
remains with us—bowed by many recent
afflictions, and crushed by this crowning
sorrow. She will receive the heartfelt
sympathy of the whole community—for
she Is known to, and beloved by all. Two
Children—tho only survivors of a large
family—are living in Texas.
Ths fuoeral is announced to take place
from his residenoo this afternoon at 3 %
o'clock.
Major's Court.
Yesterday Mayor Brannon took his first
lesson as Mayor of the eity in presiding
over the Mayor's Court. He did it well,
and acted like he was trained to the busi
ness, Ho ordered Tift Moore to open the
court and bring in the prisoners. The
first cose was one against a couple of gen
tlemen for fighting. When the Judge got
through with them, they had to go down
in their pockets for $7.60 each.
The next case was against a lad y for be
ing drunk and disorderly. We say she
■was a lady because one of the witnesses
identified her as the Uuiy he saw cussing
and rarring over Front street Owing to
ghetto nature the Mayor let her off with a
two dollars and a half fine. This ended
the court business,, but a young lady
standing just mat of hearing of the court,
was told rhat the Mayor had only fined
her friend S2JSO. She appeared dumb
founded and said, “You don’t tell me so.
Why, I heard’em say that Bill Brannon
was the out finerest man in town, and
would give us all the devil whenever he
could git a clianoe. Well, I’ll tell’em up
my way that he aint so bad after all.”
borne of the law breakers had better not
let this fool them, for he is just breaking
his hand in.

< IM KIIED TO DEATH.
Negro Hoy Killed at the Empire Mills
CJAUOHT IN A WHEEL AND WHtBLED INTO
ETERNITY.
It seems that the past week has been a
chapter of blood and accident. Every day
we tiave been called upon to record acts
of violence or fatal accidents, and to-day
adds another to the list.
Yesterday morning a negro boy about
fourteen years old met bis death at the
Empire Mills in this city, by being caught
in the large fly wheel and whirled into
eternity. He was fearfully mangled, hav
ing his head crushed, and both arms and
legs broken. His mother lives In the city,
but he was hired to Mr. Torbet.
Coroner Lloyd held an inquest over the
body. The following was the evidence be
fore the jury, and all that is known of the
fatal accident:
Mr. H. L. Woodruff, sworn: I was
standing in the back room of the mill.
The miller holload out’‘some one is killed.’’
I saw no one until then. The boy Is
named Uenle Cox; I don’t know bow the
boy came in the wheel, but was supposed
to have passed out through the trap door
of the mill, from the oellar under the
hoarse frame, climbed up there and wont
through the window; it is positively
against orders, for any one to pass this
way. The boy was not under my employ
ment.
W. J. Oogeld, sworn: I was in the mill;
in passing the window over the hearso
frame, heard a noise and saw the boy who
I suppose was thrown out from the wheel;
saw no one except the deceased; would
likely have seen any one near him; don’t
know whother or not any one was near
the cellar from where ho came; did not
see him as he wont in the wheel or came
out.
Rex Oliver, sworn: I heard the fuss at
the wheel but didn't recognize at first who
it was; I am head fireman at the Empire
Mills; I know the boy; He came to bring
Mr. Torbet’s breakfast, and asked me
five or ten minutes before, for Mr. Tor
bet;! told him he was in tho mill; I don’t
know how he came in the wheel; I didn’t
see him fail in; if any one else had have
tMn near I could haveOben them; ho has
soon me pass through the trap door and
has (deceased,) passed through that way
before which was against Mr. Woodruff’s
orders.
E. R. Torbett, sworn; I know the de
ceased ; he brings my breakfast; his name
is Genie Cox; when I first saw him I was
sewing a band In the cleaning room; he
told mo “breakfast Is.here;’’ I told him I
would be there in a few ml nutes; he left
me, walked out of the cellar through the
west door going into the main cel
lar of the mill; the next time I saw
him ho was lying by tho fly wheel. He
was dead when I first saw him. It
oouldn’t have been more than five min
utes at the outside from tho time he left
me until ho was seen by me dead. I don’t
know where ho went out. I think he
went of the main cellar, through a trap
door that opened into the gearing room
of the mill. It is Mr. Woodruff’s orders
that no one shall pass this way. Mr.
Woodruff has a sign posted “No one pass
here.” He has been frequently told not
to enter the mill unless I was there, but
he failed to obey orders. I am engineer
of the Empire mills.
After hearing the evidence, the jury,
composed of T. J. Hines foreman, Jas.
Barber, R. A. Ware, Jr., C. H. Allen, J. H.
Blandford.C. Terry Jr., C. H. Watt, L. T.
Ryckley, J. T. McLeod, L. Sauls, Van
Marcus, and Louis Wells, returned the
following verdict:
“We the jury say that Genie Cox came
to his death by being crushed In the fly
wheel of the Empire mills while In mo
tion."
The remains were turned over to his
mother.

Head this, and then go to Layfield’s and

in the way of confectionery or fire works.
At his place you can get everything you
need, and get it at such prices as are in

ner and in the same building with his
large bakery. We again ask you to read
his invitation to tho public to buy their
goods from him. He will appreciate your
trade, because he has gone to the expense
of inviting you.

Grand Jury Presentments
Muscogee County, 61., Nov. Term 1876.
THEIR ADVICE ON COCNTI MATTER*!
THANKS —ADJOURNMENT.
We, the Grand Jury, chosen for the No
vember term of the Superior Court, 1876,
make those, our general presentments;
COUNTY PROPERTY.
The court-house and jail we And In good
order and condition.
ROADS AND BRIDGES.
The roads and bridges of the county are
in good condition, and we rooommend to
the County Commissioners that they em
ploy the chain-gang during the summer
months in making brick for county pur
poses, such as piers and abutments for
bridges and culverts over small streams.
CHAIN-0 ANO.
We also suggest that the Commissioners
might use the chain-gang successfully in
getting out bridge timbers for the county
bridges, and in view of the fact that the
beet timbers we can get do not last more
than six or seven years, and that repairs
on that class of bridges now in use in the
county is a constantly recurring expense
—we resommend that the Commissioners
replace theso bridges, when in their judg
ment they think best, with substantial
structures, having more of the conditions
of perrnanonoy in their design.
POOR HOUSE.
For the poor house wo recommend that
the present keeper be changed for one
better fitted for the duties of the office,
and that tho salary be fixed at ($200) two
hundred dollars a year, and that the sala
ry of the attending physician be ($100) one
hundred dollars. We also recommend
that rules and regulations clearly defining
thedutiesof the keeper and inmates be
drawn up and printed, and that copies be
furnished tho keeper and inmates,and that
a signboard bo posted at the gates: “No
admittance without written permission
from Board of Trustees.” Wo respectful
ly suggest that a saving might be made
by arranging for a trade discount in the
purchase of supplies. We find the inmates
satisfied with tho quality and quantity of
food furnished, though they complain of
the distance they have to carry fuel, which
we think might be obviated by using the
farm team in hauling the wood up to the
houses. Tho houses wore generally clean
ly and comfortable, though the cracks in
the floors and windows might be closed
with comfort to the inmates.
COUNTY TREASURER.
Wo find the Treasurer’s books neatly
kept, though wo recommend that the
Treasurer itemize his entries more In de
tail, so that It may appear on examination
how such funds come Into his keeping.
Tho law provides that for every case tried
before tho County Court ($3.00) three dol
lars shall be collected for Jury foes and
paid into the County Treasury. We do
not find that any such fees have over been
paid over to the Treasurer, and he reports
nevor having received but one. We think
the present Treasurerer has filled the
office faithfully and with efficiency.
He submits the following statement:
May 18,1876, balance on hand $14,118,01
Received from Road Commissioners... 3.76
•• J. A. Frazer 81.00
1 “ " Fines and forfeiture*... 050 00

$19,962.70
Paid Jury script and county orders— 14,712.63
Balance on hand December 5, 1870 $6,260.23
TAX RECEIVER.
We And the Tax Receiver’s digest and
records neatly and accurately made up;
showing faithfulness and efficiency. The
assessment shows a reduction from last
year’b statement.
CLERK OF COURT.
The books of the Clerk of the Court—
such as are under the immediate eye of
the Court and Bar—we find In perfect or
der and neatly kept. But tho papers con
nected with the suits at law, and bills
in equity which have been disposed of for
severul years, have not boon recorded as
required by law. We also find that there
is no record of or receipt for the Jury fees
due the County Treasurer in every case
tried by jury, and wo earnestly recom
mend to the County Commissioners that
they promptly take such steps as In their
judgment seems best to correct these
abuses and reimburse tho county.
The Sheriff’s books and papers wo find
properly filed and kept, the executions out
of his hands being duly receipted for and
endorsed, though there is a considerable
amount of work remaining to be done on
the papers turned over to the present In
cumbent by his predecessor, which we
recommend the County Commissions to
have done as they think proper.
MAGISTRATES.
The Magistrates’ books are correct, and
neatly kept with the exoeptlon of Mr. C.
Ogletree’s books, which show considerable
mutilation and some defects, thus render
ing them of doubtful value in the higher
couits.
COURT OF ORDINARY.
We find the Ordinary’s office and books
in a high state of order,system and efficien
cy under the intelligent and faithful
management of the present incumbent.
The Grand Jury return their thanks to
His Honor, M. J. Crawford, and Solicitor
Little for uniform courtesy and consider
ation.
It is the desire of the body that these
presentments be published in thtEnquirer
■SiqPand Daily Times.

Decrease In Crime.
Judge Crawford yesterday congratu
lated the Grond (fury and the county that
crime had decreased. He said the Grand
Jury preceding the present one returned
sixty-six true bills into court, while this
bad only returned seventeen. He felt sat
isfied that If there had been any violations
of law this body would have presented
them, and as they have returned so few
bills, thought It a cause of congratula
tion. He further said, if every officer of
the Government kept his part working to
the letter and in harmony, crime would
still decrease.

such evidence of its success and superior
virtue as Boechee’s German Syrup for se
