We give below the law as it j stands relating to newspapers and subscribers : 1 Subscribers who do not give ex press notice to the contrary, are considered wishing to continue their subscription. 2. If subscribers order the discon tinuance of their periodicals, the 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 held in law to be a subscriber. 7. If subscribers pay in advance, they are bound to give notice to the publisher, at the end ot their time, if they do not wish to contin ue taking it; otherwise the publish er is authorized to send it on, and the subscribers will be responsible until an express notice, with pay ment of all arrears, is sent to the publisher 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.

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. J. T. Adair. W. C. T. T. A. Foote, W. R. S. 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 :. v “ H. | 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 NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. : Only 25 Cents. •; Send Twetv-Fi* e Cents to the ‘‘KENNESAW ROUTE GAZETTE," ATLANTA, GA., And that spicy paper will be sent to you monthly for one year.
