publishers may continue to send
them until all arrearages are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse
to take their periodicals from the
office to which they are directed,
they are held responsible until j
they have settled their bills, and
ordered them discontinued.
4. If subscribers move to other pla
ces without informing the publish
ers, and the papers are sent to
the former direction, they are held
responsible.
5. The Courts have decided that
“refusing to take periodicals from
the office, er removing and leaving
them uncalled for, is prims, facie
evidence of intentional fraud.”
6. Any person who receives a news
paper and makes use of it, wheth
er he has ordered it or not, is

LO CAL avv ttek S-
Heavy frost Saturday night.
Sunday was a pleasant day.
We call attention to Mr. Allen’s
advertisment for a blacksmith.
Mr. S. N. Auden, the well-known
blacksmith of our town, is prepared
to do all kinds of work in his line, at
short notice. Ilis work, for dura
bility, can’t be beat. Try him.
Tiie Darien Timber Gazette was de'
stroyed by fire last Sunday week. We
learn that Mr. R. W. Grubb, the
proprietor, will at once re-establish
his paper. The fire is supposed to
have been the work of some negroes
for the purpose of plundering.
Mb. John Hawkins, formerly of
Yillarica, has gone into the tanning
business in our town. He comes to
our county well recommended and
will no doubt be a great benefit to our
community. So if you have any
hides to tan, take them to Hawkins,
and lie will tan ’em.
Under the head of new adver
tisments will Le seen the advertis
ment of the “Kennesaw Route Ga
zette.” The Gazette is published
monthly, and is a rich ■ and spicy
paper. It is published for the small
sum of 25 cents a year. Every man,
women and child should read it.
Address Kennesaw Gazette, Atlan
ta, Ga.
you want a nice pair of boots
ffor shoes, or want either mended, be
Psure and let Mr. Frank Gann do the
'work. And, although be is a whole
souled fellow, he don’t refuse to half
solo boots and shoes. He keeps on
hand an assortment of notions,
leathers, etc. His motto is quick
sale and small profits. His adver
tisment will appear next week.

T.conn Lodge, I. O. C. TANARUS., No.
371.
Met on Friday night, 19tli inst.,
according to adjournment, and
passed the following resolutions:
Resolved, That this Lodge do ten
der to the members of Dallas Lodge,
No. 182, of the Masonic fraternity,
their sincere thanks for the use of
their hall for the past year.
Also for their liberal offer for the
use of it this year; and we trust that
the workings of both Lodges will
result in much good to our communi
ty and country generally. A fter ad
journment the members retired to
the Acadamy, where they were en
tertained by the lectures of Messrs.
Self and Parke, upon the subject of
writing schools and with the exhi
bition of their specimens of penman
ship.

Killed.
On the morning of the 13th inst.
Mr. John L. Martin was found dead
near the residence of Mr. Marion
Linzey, his brother-in-law. Upon an
investigation of the matter, by Mr.
G. W. Roberts, the coroner
of our county, it was
found that the said Martin had ap
proached the said Linzey’s house,
on the evening of the 12th, and en
deavored to kill him by stepping
into bis door and firing a sliot-gun
at him, but fortunately missing him,
Linze3' seized his gun and shot him
in the left breast, after which the
said Martin ran off some eighty or a
hundred 3'ards from his house, and
was found there the next morning
dead. The coroners jury returned
a verdict of justifiable homicide.
We 83’mpathize with the widow and
orphans and all of the bereaved
friends of Mr. Martin.
Written for the Record.
Our Country.
Whither is our government drift
ing and what is to be its fate are
questions that may well agitate the
public mind at the present time.
Shall we return to the ancient
landmarks, and while the question of
the civil rights bill has not been
like “oil on the troubled waters,”
would it not be well to ask for a
bill of equal rights for the states?
As it is, our disturbed condition
has called forth from the English
press, as spectators of the political
game, which is now being played,
opinions by no means complimen
tary. Likening us as they have
done, and with a show of truth to
poor unhappy Mexico. Shall it be
that soon, we too, as a government,
will ■be in a like condition,
and the gallant ship of the
state that outrode so many political
storms, shall be stranded on the
shores of anarchy and the epitaph
of “illium fuit" be written over the
grave of our once free and happy gov
ernment? 'Or shall the crowned king*
dorn of Europe soon greet us with a
sardonic laugh and the question
art thou too like one of us? There is
yet time, to avert so sad a doom.
If the great heart of the American
people, that once throbbed to none
but the noblest sentiments, will but
throw off the band that have been fas
tened on it, and look for guidance to
the experience of the past,all may yet
be well. But if in the greed for place
and political prefer ment the states
men of the land shall forget their obli
gations,and give in their highest alle
giance'to place and profit, then when
the troubled cry of “watchman! what
of the night!” shall ring out through
the length and breadth of the land;
the answer will be borne back that
the pall bearers on their way to the
grave, are singing the requiem of
what was once a free and happy re
public. And when the tomb is
closed over the remains it is only
left to say:
“The star of liberty shone brightly in the west,
The hope of freedom the purest uml the host;
Rut that too Ims Sfct upon her darkened shore,
And hope and freedom light up earth no more.” 1

Mr. G. W. Foote, or as he is gen
eral^ - called, uncle George, keeps
one of the best hotels in the state.
He has been in the business so long
that he knows exactly what are the
essentials of a good hotel, and his
lady cannot be excelled in the culina
ry line, but we don’t ask anybody
to take our word for it, far if you
will go and stay with him awhile you
will see how it is yourself.
Thk American Newspaper Advertising
Agency of Goo. P. Howell A Cos., New York
is the only establishment of the kind in the
United States which keeps itself persistently
before the people by advertising in neirspa
pers. They evidently receive their re
ward, for we have it from a reliable source
that advertising orders issued by them for
their customers have exceeded three thousand
dollars a day since the commencement of the
year, and this is not a very good year for ad
vertising either. tf
