made in the stations and station grounds, and
1t is believed that the train service has been
generally satisfactory to the patrons of the
road. No serious accidents have occurred,
and the officers and employees have worked
together loyalty and earnestly to bring good
results from the business of the year. The
interest account is now at its highest pojnt.
1t has been met without difficulty, notwith-
stanalng extraordinary expenditures in main
tanning the value of the property. The
experience OF the year has demonstrated the

kidnapping.

IA negro woman, who lives in Walton
county, fourteen years ago gave her boy,
one year old, to a negro preacher named
Bond, who lives in this county. This mu-
latto boy is now fifteen years old and able
to do good work, and now that his services
are worth something, his mother has made
several unsuccessful attempts to get him
back, although she has been at no trouble
or expense in raising him. Last week
white man named James w. Webb and a
negro man named Henry Hawkins, came
from Walton county and went to old man
Bonds house and demanded the custody of
the boy. Webb represented himself as an
officer, and old man Bond made no resis.
lance, but allowed the boy to be forciby
carried of At the Marietta depot, the boy
remarked that the men who had him were
stealing him. Sheriff Coryell, Mr.. w. p.
Stephens and Marshal Banks took in the
situation and arrested them. A pistol was
found concealed on the white man and a
case knife on the negro. On Monday last
the pair were tried for kidnapping and were
bound over in bond of $500 each. Webb
gave bond but the negro went to Jail. A
case was also inside out against Webb for
carrying concealed weapon and bond of
$3.50 was required, which he gave.

Seems TO be broken at last and hard times
are not as near Us as they seemed last week.
When times are tight and money scarce it
is the part of prudence to make every cent
tell, to make every dime go as far as posi-
bic.
There is no place in town where you can
get more tor your money than from us. A
trial will convince you. Examine our
goods and our prices and then, if you
choose make the grand rounds" but you
will come back to us. The half year Just
passed has been a prosperous one to us and
we would be foolish as well as ungrateful if
we did not strive to keep and to widen our
circle of patrons.
Our line of Sugars, Cofiees and Cigars is
particularly good and cheap and we invite
inspection. We keep everything belonging
to our trade and propose to sell as cheap as
the cheapest and as good as the best

In cur judgement the great diff
Guilty, affecting more or LEES every
department of trade, is that too many
people have been living upon the
resources of the country without
contributing anything to the COM
mon supply. The bulk of the mons
producers may be divided into two
classes-the idlers and the specuia-
tors. The number of those who are
idle has largely increased There
was time when, outside of large
cities and few families which in
this respect tried to ape the foreign
aristorscy, the great body Of the
people of mature years and in good
health expected to work IN some
form to earn their own living
