In this city, on Sunday the 10th inst, at the
residence OF Mr.. John Boston, MRS. SALLIE
Brown the mother of Gov. Joseph +. Brown,
Hon. James r. Brown, Dr. Brown and Mrs
.Jobn Boston, The deceased was in her S7th
year and was truly beloved by all who knew
her. For fifty years she has been consistent
member OF the Baptist Church and in death she
evidenced unshaken faith in the Christian
religion, perfect, resigned to follow her de-
matted husband, Mr.. Mackie Brown, with
whom she had lived in marriage for sixty
wears and who was only one day older than her.
self and whom she only survived little over a
month and half. In death her face wore
beautiful, placid smile, as If halo of heavenly
light rested upon it, indicating that her soul had
taken its flight from its tenement of clay without
fear of the great future and in perfect peace and
serenity. She had no desire to live longer,
but In her happy, sustaining religious faith,
death was robbed Gifts sting, and she longed to
bid adieu to the Affections and sorrows OF
earth and be with God in his bright mansions
above. Before her death she called her sons
and daughters around her bed side and spoke
IN them in the most affectionate terms, how
dutiful they had been, and what comfort
they had been to her heart in her declining
years. They stood there united and she trust
ed they would be united hereafter 1t was an
Impressive and touching scene, and no sous
and daughters were more united in love and
devotion than those q this sainted mother, who
has just passed away. To have the testlmon-
ial of accomplishing approval from the lips OF
mother whose eyes are growing dim in death
ia a sweeter onsolation than the possession OF
earthly fame or wealth. The honoring OF tiny
father and mother carries with tia rich legacy
of reward, and brings blessings from God. 10

pathy. The remains OF Mrs B. were on Mon
day carried to Cherokee for interment

The conviots.

The convicts leased, by Haley, Wallace &
Co, to work ON the Marietta and North Geor-

evening about o'clock, having marched from
Atlanta to this place. There were about one
hundred of them, decked off in big striped
clothes and manaced with chains. There were
several women among them whose task is to
cook for the men. There were only few white
men in the gang. the majority being negroes
We could not help thinking thatthey had yield
ed up their slavery to Southern masters to be
made by crime greater slaves than ever Free
dom has not worked the happiest results
Their marching into town created small SEN
sation and large delegation Of our citizens as
sembled on the squareto take look at them.
One of the conyicts wanted to know of the
crowd ifthey were looking for any of their
relatives Some of the conyicts were Inclined
TO be iovial under their shame but others look
ed degraded and miserable, and longed to be de-
liyered from "the body of this DEATH" The
association of such clan is terrible There
were several of them given the largest liberty

should not only be made odious, but terror.
Our artist, Mr.. Gable, photographed the gang
as they rested on the square. In the picture,
the faces of several Of our citizens accidentally
appear, they having approached too near the
gang in their curiosity to see what manner OF
beings they were. The "stockade" istwo miles

Gov. Smith.

According to previous announcement, Gov.
Smith, The present Executive of Georgia. ar
rived in our town on Thursday evening of last
week for the purpose of addressing Railroad
meeting to be held that night. At " o'clock the
Court House was brilliantly lighted and the
Silver Cornet Band began to play. In an hour
a large crowd had assembled, among them many
ladies. The meeting was called 10 order by
Hon. David Irwin, Chairman, and Hon. w. d..
Anderson, Secretary. ] he speech Of Governor
Smith was about one hour and half long,
pointed, practical and sensible. His scope of
argument embraced the entire grounds relative
to the benefits and construction of railroads. He
concluded his speech by saying that he would
do all he could to build the Marietta North
Georgia Railroad. Col George N. Lester was
then called for and delivered a very happy eff
fort Gov. Smith on Friday, in company with
several ofour prominent citizens, went on an
inspe citing tour up the line of the proposed
route. At Canton on Saturday nesting OF
Stockholders was held and other speeches
were made Gov. Smith, Gen. Phillips and
II. NJ. Hammett, Esq, returned on Sunday
The construction of this road is certainty if
our people will do their duty and pay their
subscriptions promptly. Gov. Smith has ex-
hbited deep interest in this Road and thinks
it the most important enterprise now on foot
in Georgia. failure to build it will not only
prove calamity to this section but to the en-
tire State 1t important that the rich resour-
ces of this section should be developed and u,il-
lied Progress demands it, prosperity and in
creased taxable property warrants it. Then
let us do our duty aud accomplish work that
will prove beneficial to this section and State.
