Clip the above titket, fid! the Senato iial Representative blanks with the name of the candidate as is yotir clioise; In the blank of the first amendment write “For” or “Against”; in the lat ter write ‘‘Ratifiication” or “non ratification”. One of these words must be written as directed, or your vote as to the ameudmet will be void. Amending the Constitution. We do not think ti is generally known among car roaders that two CnDstitutional amendments are sub mitted to the people to vote upon the 6th iust. They are— First, to strike from the Constitu tion: Paragraph X V. All special or local bills shall orig inate in the housa of representatives. The speaker of the house of represen tatives sha 11, within five days from the organization of the general assembly, appoint a committee, consisting of one from etch congressional district, whose da y shtll le to consider and consolidate all special and local bills,, on the same object, and report the same to the house; and no special or local bill shall be read oi considered bv the house until the same has been reported by the committee, unless by two-thirds vote; and no bill shall be consideied or reported to the house by said committEO, unless the same shall have been laid out before it within fifteen days after tlie organization of the general assembly, except by two thirds vote. Second, that the last sentence of article 7 section 1. paiagrapli lot the consticutian of 1877 be, axd the same is hereby amended by adding thereto at the end of said sentence the follow ing words, “And to make suitable provision for such confederate soldiers as may have been peimently injured in such service ” so that said sentence when so amended shall read as fol lows: “To supply the soldier who lost a limb, or limbs in the military service of the confederate states with suitable artificial limbs during life, and to mahe suitable provisions for such confederate soldiers as may have been parmauetly injured in such ser vice.” The oqjeot of the first amendment is to remedy the circuitous and bung ljsome manner in which it takes to get all special and local bills passed. The second is to extend the power of the Legislature so as to pension disa bled Confederate soldiers. No posi tion has been taken for or against either of those amendments by the State cross, therefote the matter is ‘ • left entirely with the will of the peo ple. Our vote shall bo cast for the ratification ot both these amendments. IN MEMORY, Foil nsleep in lhe~arms of Jesus, lit tle Fannie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. G. Evatt, of Rising Fawn, Ga., on Sopt 10th, 1886; aged 2 years, 6 months and 3 days. While her stay was very short, yet none knew her but to love her, and will ever cherish her name in their memories,'yet God in in His great wisdom and mighty power has "cal led litlle Fannie from the cares ol this world to a home in the Glory Land, a home that is to last through all Eternity, and tbsre to be an angel of light forever and forever— blessed forever more. Father, moth er, Relatives, and friends, weep not for little Fannie as those who have no hope, for the Savior tok us while on earth to suffer little children to come unto him forbid them not, for such is the kingdom of Heaven. So let ns live, so as to meet(not only nie but all cur httle'ones and ntanv £• k - friends who have gone on before) in peaco with God, that we may all be welcomed up higher," and live with God in Glory forever. Sho is slecDing, sweetly 'sleeping; Can you wiuh to wake her now Whon not v trace of care or sorrow, Ere can mark her peaceful brow? Passed away before tho tempter Had besot her feet with snares, Ere her heart was pierced with sadness Or her mind disturbed with caras. Little Fannie,'sweetly sleeping, Ere her heart was crushed with woe, Ero the hand of disappointment And hope could overthrow. Ere remorse had come to sting her, For tho misspent hours past, Ere the frosts whichjblight tho many O’re her lips one blight had east. Oh! methinks not. Though tis lonely, Bow and kiss the Chastening rod, Saying “Not as I would will it, But as thou hast Ob,[my God.

Nisbeet, Foreman, The undersigned committee ap pointed by your body at this tenn (Sept 1886) of Superior Court ot said county to inspect the various convict camps have performed that duty and submit the following report to wit: We first visited Cole City, and the differnt Camps at that place, We made as we think a thorough examina tion ot all the appartments, eating sleeping, and hospitals moI find them all clean and jj*pps,od samS%.ry condi tion, and <Fuat the convicts are well supplied with good and wholesome provisions. We made particular in quiry of the convicts as to their gen eral treatment and without a single exception they answered it was good, We find that the convicts are worked by tasks and that the daily given them very reasonable, in a large majority of them perform each day more than their tasks, for which they receive resonable compensation in cash or such things as they desire. In tho hospital we found 14 patients, who seemed to he as comfortable as it is possible to make them, and that '.he medical attention is all that could be required. We also find that the au thorities are doing all they cau to im prove the convicts morally, by sup plying them with religious teaching on the Sabbath, and the Bible. At Rising Fawn they have furnished the convicts with a library of religions literature' We find the camps at Rising Fawn m equally as good as those at Cole City, it not superior. We inspected the mines at all the places an f found them in good con ditiou and excellently ventilated, from our observations and information both at Cole city and Rising Fawn we believe that the authorities are fullv complying with the law as to treat ment and management of the con victs in their clurge.
