exe pt a small region around Ha

t: oiigh largely superior in numbers

and reminds one of the best days
of Stonewall Jackson.
Grand Juiy Presentments,
We, the Grand Jury chosen and
sworn for the January term 1896,
of the Chattooga Superior court,
beg to submit the following re
port :
We have through careful com
mittees examined the books, re
cords, vouchers, etc. of the several
county officials and also our pub-,
lie county buildings.
We find our Courthouse in good |
condition with no immediate re-.
pairs needed. Our jail is as neat
ly and well kept as circumstances
will allow for a building of such '
inferior class, but regret to report ,
that on account of location and
' surroundings we find its sanitary
condition very unwholesome. We I
find our Alms house and surround
ings in excellent order and appear-;
ances show good judgment ami tact
in our Ordinary's methods of ad- j
ministering all affairs connected i
i with same. Me find also upon ta
king inventory of. effects 1233
pounds pork, 150 pounds lard, it>i
bushels corn, 600 bundles fodder, j
5 bushels wheat, 10 bushelscotton
(seed, 7 bushels potatoes, 50 dozen
' sheaf oats. We recommend that
front part of house in which Mr.
iJohnson lives be recovered and al
so that a line of palings be run a-
| cross yard on west side of house to
! make a garden and also that new
'stock be substituted for dead and
failing fruit trees. We find seven
inmates, named as follows: An
derson Watkins, Emily Earp, Sal
j lie Earp, Frances Reynolds, Sarah
Curry, Mary Curry and Eliza
Hammonds, all of whom seem a
happy and contented family. Wo
find our Clerk’s books kept in their
usual faultless stylo with noblots
blurs or erasures to mar their
pages. Our Ordinary’s books pre
sent their usual neat appearance
and stand above criticism as far
as our examination could extend.
The Sheriff’s books are correctly
and neatly kept, but wo find pencil
entries when ink would appear
more business like. The Treasur
er’s books are neat and their cor
rectness is shown from following
statement.

Tax Collector has not been able
to render complete statement for
the reason of uncollected insolvent
taxes and other hindrances.
County School Commissioner's
books are neatly kept except one
receipt not dated and two receipts
not in. but explained.
We find docket of the several
Justices of Peace and Notaries
Public of our county reasonably '
well kept.
J. A. Branner is reelected as

dinarv. We recommend that fee

J n Williams inquest case, disallow
ed by Ordinary on account of ir
regularity.
We recommend that a bridge be
built over Raccoon creek on Sum
merville & Gaylesville public road
near Wheeler farm.
We recommend the adoption of
the General Road law as f<und in
, acts 1890-91, No. 754, authorizing
a tax of not more than two tenths
of one per cent or such a portion
. thereof as Ordinary m»y deem pro
per and necessary and such act to
take effect on or by April 14, 1896.
We find no change necessary in
lists of disabled soldiers nor of
, widows of Confederate soldiers nor
iof indigent soldiers, except that
the names of B . F. Archy, I. F.
Dalton and James Kellett be strick
en on account of death.
\\ e recommend that expenses of
I Fayette Gordon, Mary Goidon,
• Beulah Gordon, M. S. Harris and
; one team of mules be paid for night
j of Kith day of January, since same
i witnesses were detained by the
' State as important witnesses in
the interos l of State. We find no
fund in hands of Clerk, Ordinary,
or Sheriff unaccounted for.
We find our public roads in
about their usual condition for the
season of the year, but sadly in
need of improvement or a system
by which they might bo made more
passable.
In taking leave of the court we
extend our thanks to his Honor,
Judge W. M. Henry, for courtesies
extended our body and also to So
licitor W. J. Nunnally for his
kindness and assistance during
this term. Wo recoinmend that
j these Presentments be published

is ordered that they ho published
and paid for as recommended and
that certain bills for board of wit
nesses be paid as recommended.

A Card of Thanks.
About the first of September the
hand of affliction was placed on
cur family in the way of sickness,
and cn September 20tb, cur 1: •:’i't =
were made to bleed on account
the death of our eldest daughter,
aged 21 years. Soon after this,
our second daughter, who was sick
with the same dreed disease, ty
phoid fever, died. About tins
time measles set in with ten in the
family who had never had them.
When all had gotten pretty well
through with them, another daugh
ter, aged 12, took fever, and m
October 27, we were again called
on to give up another to death. A
gain < n the 31st, our then oldest
daughter, aged 17, died, and it
seemed that wo had hardly return
ed from the funeral when on No
vember 6, our baby was called up
higher. In the meantime there
was five others of the family sick
some of them so low that they
knew nothing of the death of Hie
others. Again on the 19th, anot.i
er coffin had to be brought to re
ceive the remains of another one,
our baby boy 4 years old.
Through all this distressing,
heart-breaking affliction we were
blessed with the greatest kindness
and attention from our neighbors
and friends in the community. No
sick people could have had better
attention than ours, and to each
and all we desire to return cur
heart felt thanks hoping that in
the hour of need g' od and true
friends may minister unto them
as they have unto us. Wo desire
especially to thank the Misses
Ellsburys and the Misses Rams ys
for their unfailing kindness and
assistance. While many others
did all they could space forbids
mention of all, but all will please
remember that their sympathy in
our hour of need will never be for
gotten. Then there were others
i from Haywood and east Armuchee
and some from Subligna who ren
dered most substantial assistance
in the way of gathering our crops
and in many other ways besides,
all of whom have our sincere
thanks. They will ever be kindly
remembered by us, and we sincere
ly wish for them all Heaven's rich
est blessings in this world and in
the world to come.

Editor News :—At a meeting of
tho board of mayor and council
men of the town of Trion, held on
the 7th, for the purpose of choos
ing a board of trustees to ’ake
charge of the free school system
of the town, the following named
gentlemen were chosen: A. S.
Hamilton to serve for one year;
W. K. Moore and M. L. Green, to
serve for two years; Z. T. McKin
ney and N. H. Coker to serve for
three years. All will be chosen
for three years after the first elec
tion. Esquire N. H. Coker was
made chairman, and A. S. Hamil
ton secretary of the board. G. B.
Myers was chosen as financial a
gent to receive and disburse the
school money belonging to the
town. J, M. Coker was appointed
enumerator to canvass the town
and ascertain the number of chil
dren in town between the ages of
six and eighteen years. The re
sult shows that there are 528 chil
: dren who are entitled to the pub
lic school funds. Prof. A. W.
Shropshire was chosen principal
of the school, with three assistants
as follows: J. W. McVi’horter, oi
DeKalb county; Jesse Callaway,
lof Trion, and Mis -Mattie Espy,
iof Trion. The school will open to
' day, the 20th, and will continue
I through an eight months session.
Now if all the people of Trion will
do their whole duty as they should
and I believe as they will, there is
nothing to hinder us from having
one of the very best schools in
north Georgia.

visiting at this place the past week,

RAM 3 Li N G REMAR i< S,
An amusing -tr; yis told of a I
darkey, citizen of a county not '
more than a hundred miles from :
here, at least. It is said that he ’
is d< sirous that the county repre
stD’ative introduce a bill in the !
legislature changh g the< rdinary’s
term of office from four to two
years. Ha st’ys that he is a poor,
hard working, honest man, and
this measure will assist him mate
rially in making both ends meet, j
It transpires that he has trouble ;
in accomplishing this end, or ' two '
ends, under the existing order of'
things. He is a good friend of
th- ordinary’s and that official pre
sents him with an overcoat every!
election day and overcoats don't
last four years, quite.
Cn'o of our subscribers camo in
the News office some time ago and
stopped his paper. He was a man
who paid up regularly and we were
truly loth to scratch his name oil',
but lie insisted upon it and finally '
gave us the reason. Ono of his I
neighbors came over and borrowed !
his paper every \v<, k before he had:
time to read it. himself. Os c< urse
we said nothing else: a man who
Ji: s a neighbor like that needs sym
pathy. But our subscriber came
in again the other day and said he
wanted the paper again now, as
his borrowing neighbor had at last
moved away. V» e congratulated
him upon the good riddance, on
our own account as well as his, for
a neighbor like that is a veritable
nuisance.
A Beautiful Legend.
There is a beautiful old legend
that at creation’s dawn an angel
came down to earth seeking some
thing to take back with it to heav
jen. It returned with a boquet of
flowers, a baby’s smile and a moth
er’s love. When it i ache d the
j pearly gates of paradise again, the
! Howers had withered, but the moth
er’s love was found to be as pure
and eternal as the waters that
flowed by the heavenly throne, and
all the angelS’exclaimed: “There
is nothing on < arth pure enough
for heaven but a mother’s love!”
What a sublime thought and holy
: moral this old legend illustrates
! and teaches to mortal creatures.
Hon. W. M. Henry, after having
been beaten out for Judge a little
over a year ago by Hon. W. T.
Turnbull in the Borne circuit was
again appointed and sworn in on
Saturday night, Judge Turnbull
having resigned. The appointment
was in accordance with an almost
unanimous demand from the cir
cuit where Judge Henry is highly
regarded, a regard which was
heightened by the admirable man
ner in which he took his defeat.
There is a lesson in this to those
who tend to sulk under disappoint
ment. — Griffin News.
