is unlike Mr. Cleveland who is mon

pretty one*. It is also stated that in the
hand-shaking act Mr. Harrison would
often turn to afiiuiid and engage in con

many who had crowded iu to

that he was disgusted with the people.
The idea of shaking hands with a man

In the writ of prohibition case sued
out by Messrs. J.M. Head, K. Y. Beck
ham and J. If. Howell against the city
council of Zebulon, Judge Boynton
ruled against them at Forsyth last, Tues

Matters stand now, however, very
much as before tbe hearing of the case.

After the decision of the court the attor

case can have a hearing Wore the su
preme court, which will probably be
sometime iu April.
When the writ of prohibition was sued
out it was the prevailing opinion that
the plaintiffs attorneys would fight the
question on th* principle that Pike’* pro
hibitory law divested tho oouncil of the
right to issue liquor license, But they
b*v« changed tueir lit.se and are now ap
proaching the matter from another di
rection. Th* statu* of the esse msy he
ascertained by reference to the charter.
Iu 1825 Zebulon wa* incorporated and
ehatered liy the General Assembly. In
this charter, we are Informed, the city
council was invested with complete con

thi* m»y«r until 1878, when ihe charter

Atlanta Notes.
tlic editor of The Journal.
Political.
Gen. Harrison has been inaugurated
president of these United States for four
years from the 4:li inst. Ilia cab n it ad
visers are no lunger a scaled book. The
country now realises what may lie ex
pected. Tlic administration wul bo re
publican woof and liiling. Ear one i
can’t see anything hopeful or encourag
ing to the South as the cabinet is com
posed of the most ultra members of the
g. o. p. There may possibly he one fact
connected with its formation, however,
which may culminate in something more
favorable to the South than is at preset! t
suspected. There is apparently great
dissatisfaction among the leaders of the
republican party, aud, consequently,
inucli bitterness engendered among the
disappointed. This inay cause the ad
ministration to move slowly and cau
tiously, fearing spontaneous combustion
and great antagonism when it must have
sympathy to insure a successful consu
maiion of what it lias chalked out to ac
complish. But of one tiling all may feel
assured; democratic official incumlieiits
must begin to fold their tents preparato
ry to an abandonment of government
pap. One official iu Atlanta, doubtless
anticipating the pending “wreck of
ter and crush of worlds” politically, lias
already prepared himself for the inevi
table. I allude to that gallant, efficient
public officer, lion. J. IE. Nelrns, U. 8.
Marshal of the Northern district of this
State. He lias, while attending to his
official duties, pursued a regular course
of medical study, attended two
courses of lectures in that exceptional
medical college, the Southern of
city, aud, after passing a thorough,
cessful examination by the faculty,
ceived last Saturday night his diploma,
and will at once engage in tbo
tive, and, I predict, successful
of the profession. .Such is his
energy and ambition coupled with
nate sound common sense and
judgement that 1 feci assured of his
cess in hi* new vocation. He has
yet failed to make his mark ill

will succeed in the practice of medicine.

the patronage which Prof. Meni'.t is re

Zebulon is awaking from her lethargy,
and will soon rehabilitate herself in all
of her former glory. A well conducted
newspaper is another giand factor hi the
success of a town, aod if you will pardon
me 1 will say that Tus Journal is a
well-conducted newspaper, and is richly
entitled to the confidence aud patronage
of the good people of Viko county. 1
think without being moused of ego

when I see it, and I unhesitatingly assert
that I do not kno, of a more loadable

a local paper. Its list of corres
