now, namely roses, peach trees,

Mr. Editor—Allow me to con
gratulate the improvement on
the Journal with the last issue.
The paper is a very neat six

should be proud.
Please send on the Journal

Col. Oscar Brown has had a

week, so he terms it. We don’t
know what kind oi gem'n “Laj

his name from the French ac

Iwe would say Col. Brown has

Prof. Alexander opened the
academy Monday with a good
attendance. The academy is
in bad repair. The Journal has
called attention to this time
and again, It has been ignor
ed. Those who pretend to
take an interest in the school
have slept over their rights.
Should bad weather set in (and
the indications now are in its
favor,) the teacher and pupils
are in danger of contracting
pneumonia or some other dis
ease that may send every one
of them to an untimely grave.

Langston is rapidly tailing.
Langston was jailed here in
November, charged with the
killing of Will Brewer at the
Payne grocery. Since that
time several reports of lynch
ing him have went abroad. In
consequence oft( J a fiery ar
ticle, ia sympathy Jfith the
move and to arouse the crime
of lynching a man not yet tried
by the courts, to a red-hot heat
was puposely written and sent
to the Constitution from this
place. But, as yet, Langston
is safe behind the bars.

A citizen of liomer said not
long since, if a railroad was to
come here -‘it would bring
tramps.” Tramps are always
thrown in with trash. Now,
suppose the creeks around you
overflow and fill some hollow
with Hash. The consequence
is, will stay there
until the creeks overflow again
and carry it off’. But a run
rung stream hardly, ever iias
any room for trash. Thus it is
with railroad towns. They
have no room for trash, it
there should lie any, it is ai
ways consigned to waste places
where no damage rarely ever
occurrs. We have always found
the reverse away from rail
roads. This is where mormon-
ism, murders, etc., exist. There
is, generally, no protection.
History of our forefathers on
the frontier will substantiate
this. True civilization, society
and intelligence are always to
■be placed at railroad towns.
| Away with such coon skin
| ideas! Build a railroad, that
the world may see our errors
and teach us better.
The Bloody Ninth.
Atlanta, Jan. 11.—It is un
derstood that the lion. I. L.
Winn of Gwinnett county, is in
the race for congress, to sue.
ceidOol. A. D. Candler, who
will decline re-election. Col-
Winn is said to be the choice of
the alliancemen in this district,
although he will have a strong
following outside of that order.
It is said also that the Hon.
Carter Tate of Pickens, will be
a candtdate in the race.
Rev. Tliad. Pickett will run
independent, and will show up
enough strength to make the
race interesting to the nomi
nee.
This puts the 9th district
ahead in having a clearly de
fined campaign so far in ad
vance.
Of course the candidates
will canvass the district and
big oralical guns will soon be
blazing away at every cross

pion of protection, ‘-father ot

Chicago, Jan. 13.—Before
Judge McConnell, this morn
ing, a motion for anew trial in
the Cronin case came up, and
Mr. Forrest, for the defense,
asked that argument be pat off
for a week, owing to the ab
sence of Judge Wing, one of
the defendant’s counsel. Any
further delay was opposed by
the state’s attorney, and after
considerable discussion the
court adjourned argument in
the matter until to-morrow.
Washington, Jan. 13.—The
Washington Capitol, an even

sold to Wiliie B. Hawkins of

Birmingham, Ala. Jan. 14.
Dick Hawes, the wife murder
er, has had anew hearing be
fore the Supreme court. Hie
decision of the lower court was
sustained, and Dick Hawes seu.
tenced to hang February 28th.
When the news reached the
condemned mail, he was alone
in his cell. When told the de
cision had not been reversed
and he must die. He said:
“Death would end his suspense
and asked that he be furnished
with a table, paper and ink.” It
is thought he will commit sui
cide. He has repeated it over
and over, that he will not die
on the gallows. He is closoly
watched. If Ihe guard should
take his eye off him, he will find
Hawes a dead man.
Later.—Jan. 15. —Hawes re
fuses to eat little or nothing
and has little hope of executive
clemency. He don’t expect a
new hearing from the federal
courts. He says he has no hope
as the governor dare not inter
fere in his case.
There is no doubt, but that
Hawes will hang. The crime
was a dastardly one.
Columbus, 0„ Jan. 14.—Gov

that home rule be restored to
all the cities as speedily as pos
sible, and enters into detail as
to the needs of Cincinnati. He
strongly commends the system
of ballot and reform, common
ly called the Australian system
and sketches briefly the suc
cess with which it lias met in
other countries and states.
