The friend* and acquaintances of Mb. and Mat. Thomas I. Shivers and family 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, o’clock. Persnual. 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. . * - ; rr : i 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. 1 m BCOGF.E NI’PERIOR fOUT. rHUMOAY~TW*NTY-Tniß|> PAT.

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. Read This. Head this, and then go to Layfield’s and lay in all the Christmas supplies you need 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 the reach of all. His store is on the cor 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. Holland Herrings $2.86 per keg.

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 " " Brooks, Ordinary 110.00 " " Audrews, Tax Collector. 5,080.00 $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.

Hudson, Secretary. 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. Watt tor Jim Royil.
