In reply to my card of the 23d ult.,
"Voter of Beat Two" comes to the front
and lodges the mixed school issue in his
most plausible and ingenious manner. In
the terse and unmistakable style l think
/ can plainly discern the "earmarks" of
my distinguished friend -, and while
admiring his usual astuteness and rare
power of discrimination, think in this in
stance he has entirely "overshot his mark"
He WELL KNOWS there NEVER has been 4
question of SEPARATING the sexes in our
free public schools" Then why equivo-
cate? He NOW EQUALLY as well that in
circulating the rumor referred to, the ss.eolpr
line policy" was purposely adopted, just
as it was in Franklin Co, in 1875, land all
to so little %purpose), and am willing to
leave this momentous issue with the peo-
pie. Let them compare our past record
and decide which one Of us while in OF
fee worked hardest for an economical adj
mtnistration. The journals OF the House
of Representative are still in my posses
sion, and from their truthful pages the
people can best Judge whether l am likely
to advocate an extravagant, or economical
system in the State Government. However
as a quietus to voter of Beat Two's anxiety,
| will add hat the public school system as
IT is NOW suits ME very well; like him, |
protest against any expressive change. l
further more promise him NOT to favor the
establishment of the four public schools he
suggests and SO seems to dread, but to
abide by the laws heretofore enacted by
our former wise Legislature. Hoping this
may set my views in a clear light to all,
l am Respectfully,

Bar Meeting.

A Bar Meeting was held at the Court
house one night last week, and the follow
ing resolutions was adopted:
BE IT RESOLVED, That, as commemora-
tive of the high esteem and affection which
the members of this bar entertained for the
Honorable Hiram Cassidy during his life,
and of the painful regrets for his death, this
and the following resolutions be presented
in open court to the Chancellor on to-mor-
row, and that the Court be moved to order
the same OF record.
Be IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That we do
most sincerely regret the death of Judge
Hiram Cassidy, late a practitioner in this
court, who departed this life at his home in
Summit, on the 10th day OF March, 1881, in
his sixty-second year. His memory will be
cherished by US during life, and it deserves
to survive the monuments of marble and
medals of gold. AS a lawyer, he stood at
the head of his profession; as an advocate,
no one better than he knew how to avail
himself of human motives and all the cir
cumstances which surrounded asubject, or
could present them with more force and skill
to accomplish the object of an argument.
As a judge he was learned, upright, patti
ent, impartial, firm.
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED, That remark
able as was Judge Cassidy for his intellectu-
al abilities he was no less remarkable for
his social qualities. As a companion he
was the delight of his friends, and no man
ever had better or truer. They have loved
him from the beginning and loved him to
the last. The younger members of the bar
were especially fond of Judge Cassidy; his
superior worth as a lawyer was alwas recog-
nized and admired by his professional
brethren, but it was not a frigid admira-
ton. it was an admiration warmed with
love.
BE IT URrHE RESOLVED, That the
heartfelt sympathy OF this bar is extended
to that estimable and now widowed lady
who for more than thirty-fve years bore to
Judge Cassidy all the endearing relations
of wife, and whose gentle hand soothed the
anguish of life's last scene by those endear-
ing attentions which no one can give SO
well as woman and a wife. We do invoke
| God that he infuse into her heart and mind
the Christian spirit of submission under her
bereavement!
This bar condoles with her and her sons
on account of their irreparable loss.
Be IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That these
resolutions be published in the Brookha-
ven newspapers and that a copy be furnish
ed the family of Judge Cassidy.

PERRY, GA, Apr. IA, 70.
l have watched the use of the medicine
now known as "Swift Syphilitic Specific"
since the year 1S27-over so years-and
have never heard of a failure to cure when
properly taken. | commenced the use oft
on my slaves, between 1850 and 1865, and
as also did a number Of my n%eighbors, and
in every case hat came within my knowl-
edge it effected a cure. In 1885 my broth
er-in-law, George Walker, bought at auc-
ton a slave not warranted. After the pur--
chase it was discovered that he had had
Syphilis for twelve years. His head was
without a hair on it. He treated him with
this remedy, and in four weeks he was
sound and well, and in a short time had as
fine a head of hair as was ever owned by a
negro. He owned this slave many years,
and he never had any return Of the disease
nor lost a days work. This is only Ole
| among hundreds of instances of remarka-
BILE cures made by this medicine. In all
nv past life 1 have never known a remedy
that would so fully accomplish what it is
