PEAVY, Proprietor MAROH 31 1885. The grand jury of Huntsville Ala., last week found 137 true bilk. Newnan baa inaii uted proceedings against the Boutberr Express Com qany for delivering whisky at that point. Mr. Cleveland believes in women holding ofiff e, as may be seen by a South Carolina appoint ment. A little child of seven or eight said that when the Bible speaks of •‘children's children” it must mean dolls. Twenty-four thou-and females are studying music in Boston. Dreadful; but the cholera is uueou thr seabord next summer, Col. Isaac W. Avery, the Geor gia journalist, is in Washington seek ing a high diplomatic place. He was for six years private secretary to Senator Colquitt while the latter was Governor. One day last week Clarence Cobb, of Ellijay, found a wajch that had doubtless been lost by a solder dur ing the late war. It was opened and found to be in perfect order, rqcept that the hair spring bad bet n de stroyed by rust. — Ifihereisany man who, more fhan another, should make it a point to have the best possible stock, it is the small farmer; and yet many men argue that because they have small farms it is immaterial what kind of stock they keep, •‘A young man asks if it is unlucky to get married before breakfast?” says an exchange. This seems like a very foolish question. Most men like a full stomach to get married on, but if the yoong man has any doubts and wishes to choose, he’d better take the breakfast and let the manying part go. 1 t’s cheap'r.—-Brooklyn Times The President bos appointed B. H. Hill, of Atlanta, United States District Attorney, for the North Georgia Distiict, to fill the place of Emory Speer,lately resigned. There will be no assistant District Attor ney appointed as the Attorney gen eral says th ’t he can find no law authorizing such appointment. A very curious case was tried in Cobb Superior Court last week. The Rev. J. Rembrandt Smith sued the Marietta and North Georgia Rail road Company for pay for Lis ser vices »s preacher to the convicts employed on said road. Col. Frank Irwin, his attorney, made a brilliant speech, but the court decided against him, holding that the gospel was "tree” in every sense of the word. - A mhn named Hudgins commit ted the crime of arson in Georgia a few years ago and fled to Arkansas. A Georgia officer went after him armed with a requisition from the governor, and he found his mana member of the kgislatue and the < governor at first declined to give j up Hudgins, but subsequently let him go. Hudgins in the me«n time had t.ken advantage of the delay caused by thcGovemor.jamped into a buggy and skipped the country. There are many who believe that Blaine’s visit to President Cleveland had for its indirect object the obtain ing of one small favor —the reten tion of Blaius’s man in the post i office at Augusta, Me. The principal Democratic applicant f r the place I is Col. C. B. Morton, who mad? i damaging exp-wues o me-ruing •amt secret poli ical circulvs tent, by the Maine Republicans ten years { If Blaine cui’t keep his own henchman in the Augusta office he is extremely anxious that Morton shall be kept out. IF A Julian A Co., of Macon, made a general asaigi navnt 1 bursday night for the benefit of their reditdrs. Tn«ir liabilities are placed al $51,925 50. and thvir a**ets »l $75,402 72. Thia. perhaps,’’the heavi.rtt failure that baa occurred in Mac n lor years. The firm is an old one, and claims fla friends over the entire State. The assignment is a voluntary one. and is made for the best interest of the end- Hor*. The past two seasons have been unusually dull, and have tried the merchants all over the The foreman of the jury of Butts county publishes the following: In the last ia-tie of the Jackton News we notice an article asking for an . ex pl ana ion of the grand jury as to why they should i ecomm nd and additional tax upon the schedule presented to them by the Ordinary? ; In obedience to the request, and for : the general satisfaction of tax-payers ! of the county, will say that here tofore our scrip has been scaled or discounted by mon<y holders 10 per cent, from the face value, and when ' the scrip or orders are issued they I then form the attitude of a due note upon the County Treasurer, aid subject to draw interest at the regu lar lawful rate —7 percent. Now these scrip, or erders,discounted at 10 per cent, and drswing interest at 7 per cent., makes the interest in the aggregate 17 per cent., and this am- tint comes from the pockets of tax-payees of the county. Now, you take this anion ntand add it to recom mended schedule aud you will find that, with but little added theret , we have a tax levied suffic ently Urge to meet the current expenses of the courts for one year, dr, in other words, for the two terms. Hence, the grand jury thought it wise to levy a sufficient amount to throw the county at least two courts ahead, and place money enough in the treasury to pay off the scrip at its face value, and stop the moneyed men from depreciating the issue of our county. The Height of Waves. Many experiments have been made U measure the height of waves in all con ditions of weather. One authority goes as high as sixty-four feet and another as low as five feet, giving it as his reason that the penetrating power of wind can not reach below that depth. Os this philosopher it may be presumed that he was a martyr to sea-sickness, and that he must have contented himself with making his calculations in his study. On the other hand, a height of sixty* four feet is almost as absurd, though il is more in correspondence than five fed can possibly be with our conception ol the altitude of the majestic surges which roll under the Impulse of storms 1 of wind along the surface of the great oceans. It is true that the earthquake wave has been known to rise to sixty feet; yet surges of thia kind are happily scarce, since when they occur they are not only in the habit of raxing whole towns upon the coart tine where they break, but of carrying some of the ves sels they may encounter at anchor Io the neigh borliood to the distance of a day’s walk inland. Practical expert ence, however will look with suapjcion upon most of the scientific) theories touching L'kj alutude and velocity ol ware-’.
