The BdaHs-T WGfeh7aan saws: ssAthens is
badly in need Of city physician to attend the
lnulgent poor. There is a great deal of chari-
~ practice IN our city, and il is unjust to ask
the physicians 10 not only give their time but
medicine free of charge. Many poor people
are suffering for medical attention, and thev
should be provided for. 1t is a necessary
the outlay. We learn that there are several
serious cases OF pneumonia over the river
and unless something is done for the sufferers

Griffin Nel0s: "a party from Ohio travel
ing overland by wagon, is reported to have
struck John Georges place, about eight miles
out OF town, near the Flint river, on Friday.
IL Is possible that this is the long lost party
reported by Northern correspondent Of the
Aetcs 10 have started from Putnam county.
Ohio, early last fall, for this place. In such
long distance il seems probable that they
should miss their reckoning that far. Any
how. they are said TO be well pleased with the
country, and are only looking for a suitable
location before settling down"
Cumming Clarion: Several members OF the
late grand jury agitated before that body the
suspicion that they entertained that numbers
OF teachers of public schools make ont their
accounts for a greater number of days than
the children actually attended. This was
very grave intimatiOn. rs all the accounts are
sworn to. The question is, has any of the
teachers been guilty Of false swearing2 Mis-
takes may have been made-and they have
been corrected when discOyered-but to say
before the grand Jury, and out of the grand
jury. that accounts which have been sworn to
nave been made out too large is a grave mat
ter, and one that should not be made without
proof"
