PEA FK Proprietor APRIL 21, 1885. Jonesboro h»s thirty widows, ten oWnnaids and eight old bachelors. The morning salutation in Jones boro is. “ Are your beans up?” A Texas editor has been convic ted of libel and sentenced to county jail for twenty-four hours. An scorn, quite sound and natural, wm found in the mortar of the old court house at Sprin r Place, which must be about forty-five years obi. The grand jury of the Superior Court at Blairsville has returned a true bill against the man Smith for the murder of his own child with whisky. Two or three of the denominations are conducting religious revivals at Athens, and the city is in a furore of religious excitement. There is a liquor dealer in Amer icus whenever tasted a drop of al coholic liquor in his life unless when incorporated in some medicine. Near Bcwdon, in Carroll county, a Sheriff’s posse fired on a colored thief named Prince Blanton as he was fleeing, and dangerously woun ded him. A special effort is to be made to induce the President to visit Atlanta on the occasion of the meeting of the commercial convention in that city in May. Mr. H. A. Jnckson, of Oglethorpe county, has bit upon a novel and effective way of keeping chickens out of a garden. He caught an owl and turned it loose in bis gardes, and not a chicken would go therein, A strange woman, carrying a child about six months old, called at the residence of Mr. Westbrook", of Gordon, a few nights ago and asked permission to stnyall night, which wasgranted.

I’luce Times. ■■■■ i i< » .—*■-* 1 There was a hen killed at the Story House one day Inst week, and the cook found, in her gizzard, twelve copper cartridge sheils and oae shirt button. The hen was brought over here from Fayette ville, and, evidently, this food had agreed with her, as she was perfect ly f»i,nhd her meat was delicious. A Virginia ludV tusked her ininis tfr ifheos ought U lm; allowed to lay on Suwday. He answered, “yes, but yoqought to give the Sunday eggs to mfadutis.” and she did it. All Sunday lays, whether musical or not should be devoted to a good cause. That was a practical view of it. Henry Rountree (colored), of Mclntosh, is still on the chain-gang, although Gov. McDaniel was asked to pardon him several months ago. Rountree’s time expires in May. It will be remembered tint Rountree’s .innocence of the crime of which he was convicted was established a few weeks ago. Gen. Grant’s doctors ara now catching <t on all aides, ju*t as Gar field’s phystcims were criticised, abused ridiculed. Ignorant out aiders by the hundreds thought they knew all along® "re *boitt Gen.

The Depopulated Hlyhiasda. There are few Highland gtena that do teat contain traces <>f the ban f ebed pop ulation. In Lochaber, along the shoree of L«ch Arkalg, the home of the olaa CasMcon. the remains of what were oooe extensive townships may yet be •een. The celebrated.

So mto a« 1849, when Use present Prime Minister bad already obtained political eminence, Hugh Miller attempted, but fruitlessly, to draw the attention of the British public to the work of destruc tion that was going on. He eloquently EkjI aimed that “while the law is bon ing its tons for terms of seven and fourteen years, the penalty of deep dyed crimes, irresponsible and infatu ated power is banishing its thousands for Ide for no crime whatever.” A brge number of the dispossessed ten antry were sent to America; the re mainder settled on the seashore. where they were cramped into small holdings. Bod have since lived. The tourist steaming along the wild coast of the Western Highlands and islands may see perched on every cliff, in the most ex poeed situations and subject to the fury ot Atlantic gales, the wretched hamlets that now contain the remnants of the Highland clan*. Probably he will won der bow a population can at all manage to exist under such conditions. But there they are, elbowed to the very verge of their country. For large tracts of that country the proprietors even now can show no scrap of document, their claim to possession resting solely on the fact that it has never been con tested. Created and looked upon, like the foxes, as mere vermin that interfere w4th sport, diwouragod aud thwarted In every direction, these people, not withstanding their poverty and the hardships of their lot, have maintained ttnimpaired the molest attributes of tbeir race. Crime of any kind is almost unknown among them. Their moral standing is the highest in Britain, oon- Wasting in that respect most remarkably with their lowrand neighbors; and not a few ot the leading British statesmen, lawyers, dl vines, and soldiers of the past eighty years first saw the light in these croiters’ huts. Far behind tlsj •trip of inhabited littoral stretch the Blue me untai ns, the snug and often fer tile glens from whence the clans wots baotfbed. now turned into silent wilder neeeea, inhabited only by sheep and ifoat and an occasional shepherd ot keeper.
