When a man sets out to get
ho is then being led by the devil, who will
- soon land him where lie wants him.
We hear of candidates corning out for
office already in some counties. In Har¬
alson we think the office will seek the
man.
A protracted meeting was closed out
in Cedartmvn last week after forty souls
had been added to the church. A town
is sure to prosper that doos not forget
God.
That indignation meeting at the arte
■ sian well was held at night. Thcyprefer
ed darkness to light, for their deeds
were silly and uncalled for. Yes; some
big preachers were there.
lion. Judson C. Cl#ments has been
highly endorsed by the people of Homo
for Interstate Commissioner. The citi¬
zens held a rousing meeting and many
enthusiastic speeches were made.
Mrs. Ora McKee has entered suit in

band to pay alimony. Since her trial for
poisoning Mrs. Wimpce her husband has
not lived with her. She resides with her

McKee, is doing business near Birming¬
ham, Ala.
Bayard, the fifteen-year-old sou of Col.
W. T. Turner, of Cedartown, was drown¬
ed in Atlanta last Saturday week while
in swimming. He was an cxccptionably
intelligent and manly boy, and liis young
life was one of great promise. The
hearts of the whole community about
Cedartown are deeply saddened over his
untimely death.
The Columbus Enquirer Sun, as has
been stated, doesn’t stand altogether
alone in defeudiug the Legislature for the
non-acceptance of tho Confederate
Home. The Atlanta papers took occa¬
sion to reproduce all that was said
through the press in deuunciationof those
who voted against the measure, but re¬
produced nothing that was contrary to
their own feelings. Why not give both
sides a hearing? Give .us both sides in
parallel columns. It's not a one sided af¬
fair by any means.

ANOTHER SOLDIER OF THE KKVOEU
TION GONE.
“Immortal may their memory be,
Who fought and bled for Liberty.”
Dki’arteij this life, at the residence
of Alexander Goggans, Esq., in Carroll
county, Georgia, on Sabbath 21st of
March, 1852, at 0 o’clock in the evening,
William Goggans. Tho deceased was
born in Richmond county, Virginia, on
tho 14th day of January, 1758. In early
life, his parents emigrated to tho State
of South Carolina, and settled in New
bery District. When the subject of this
notice was quite young, the war broke
out, and though he was but l(i years old,
a desire for liberty, a heart burning for
the good and welfare of the country, bo
fled to North Carolina for reffuge, and
took up arms in tho defence of his coun¬
try, and joined Col. Williams in the seige
at the battle of Kings Mountain, N. C.
In that battle he was wounded in his
left shoulder. Some time after that on
his return to South Carolina in a scouts
iug party he was shot through the left
leg with a musket ball; after be got well
in another scouting party he was cut
down with a broad swovcl by tho tories
and left with the blood streaming from
his forehead, supposed to be dead. Af¬
ter liis recovery he again joined bis com¬
panions and continued in the service till
tho end of tho war. After peace was
made he married M iry Dashields, who
departed this life 22d Oct. 1800 .—About
the year 1815 lie was again married to
Elizabeth Kilpatrick.—He resided in Pen¬
dleton about 20 years, he then emigrated
to the State of Tennessee, Lincoln coun¬
ty. About the year 1819 he moved to
Lawrence county, Ala., where he resided
till the year 1830, when lie was bereaved
of his last wife. The same year he mov¬
ed to Carroll county, Ga., where he resi¬
ded till his death. Having obtained
peace and pardon in tho wounds of a
Crucified Redeemer in the year 1838 , he
united with the Baptist church at Betha¬
ny, Carroll county, Ga., of which he con
tiiiucd a faithful member till death. Re¬
ligion was his theme, he was regular in,
his attendance at the house of God, de- i
lighted in the service of the Sanctuary, 1
and when it was said come let us go to
the house of God to worship, his totering
frame could be slen wending its way to
the place of woifjiip, till the last live or
six months before his death, he was de¬
prived of that privilige, which was a
grief of mind and sorrow of heart to him.
Yet he murmured not at the dispensa¬
tions of Providence, but was resigned to
the will of his Heavenly Father. lie was
a lover of his country, Republican in prin¬
ciple; as a citizen and neighbor he was
respected and beliked, honest in his
dealing with his fellow man. From the
wounds he recived in the service of his
country, as a soldier, we judge be
brave; as a husband, he was affectionate;
as a father kind and tender; as a chris
tian, meek and humble, devoted and zeal¬
ous, worthy of imitation, adorning his
profession by an orderly walk and Godly
conversation. During the short ac¬
quaintance of 2 years, we had with him,
religion was the theme he delighted to
converse upon, and when that subject
was mentioned, there was an expression
in b.is countenance that bespoke the feel
jpg of lfis heart,—To use his own lau
g n ag e, • 'thp;‘e w.e;:e pi any things which had
taken place in Jjjs life which he Ipif, for¬
gotten, but one thing Jrc never had, that
Wffff the time apd place where God spoke
peace to his troubled soul.” While age
and infirmity vyns prepajrjpg his body for
the grave his spirit was ripening for the
mansions of bliss, he bore his afflictions
with patience, and Christian
often he expressed with Christ, a willingness there to fear depart of j
and was uo
death nor dread of the grave, It is a mat¬
ter of comfort and consolation to his be¬
reaved connections, that he died
in the triumphs of a living faith, He was
perfectly composed and in his right mind,
knew his friends till the last moment ol
his earthly existence.—Laid his hands on
his breast and fell asleep in the arms of
Jesus, aged 94 years 2 months and 7 days.
On Monday, 22d of March, his mortal re¬
mains were filtered with the honors of
war, in the grave yard at Bethany Church
to await the morn of the resereetiou.
“Blessed are the dead that die in the
Lord.”
