Last week, the Journal announ-
ced that there were three cases of
pneumonia on Mr.. B. F. Kings
plantation, in this county. On
last Friday Mr.. Samuel Adams,
one of the, patients died, and on
Saturday was buried at Mars Hill
church, in Calhoun county. Mr.
Adams was an estimable young
man, quiet and orderly, and his
relatives and friends feel sensibly
his loss. May the God, who rules
over all, bear up the bereaved
with His spirit, and make the
resigned to His will. He was
just 81 years of age.
On Sunday morning, Mr.. David
King, of Houston, aged about 20
years, breathed his last. He was
visiting his relatives here design
edly for pleasure and recreation,
when he was attacked by the dis
ease from which he never rallied.
His remains were conveyed tc
Fort Valley that evening. The
other patient, young Mr. Adams
at last accounts was gradually re
governing.

Some years ago, Mr.. John
Adams, of this county, sold out in
order to remove to Texas; but,
just as he was ready to start his
wife was taken dangerously
i'll. This prevented him
from going at that time. This
fall, he again made arrangements
to go, but, on the day before he
intended to leave with his family,
his son was suddenly stricken with
pneumonia and has since died.
He construes this to be an inter
position of Providence, and now
declares his intention never to
leave his native Georgia. Since
this conclusion another member OF
his family who was considered
beyond hope has begun to recover.

Mr.. John Holland, from the
Bronwood neighborhood, came in
to the Journal office on last Satur-
day with his usual promptness to
settle his subscription, and during
his stay he regaled us with a bit of
his farming experience. Not
withstanding the severe drought,
he assures us that he has made,
this year, with three plows, "a
bales cotton, 800 bushels corn,
500 gallans syrup, so bushels po-
tatoes and 5000 pounds of pork.
Mr.. Holland is good farmer, but
the secret of his success is found
in the fact that he sticks to his
work. He is a firm believer in
the moderate use of guano and
thinks that it would not pay to
farm without it.

We admonish our people to be
upon the watchout for thieves and
tramps. They are in our midst
and should be dealt with in a most
summary manner if caught in the
act of stealing. On last Thursday
night Judge Bell went home to his
supper as usual, pulled off his
overcoat, hung it up in the hall
and walked out in the dining-room
to supper. AS soon as he had
finished eating he returned to get
his handkerchief out of his coat
and to his utter astonishment the
coat had been stolen. No doubt
many things are in this way stolen
from the different families of oul
city while out at supper.

The Presidents Whisky.

A public mans reputation is very
tender thing. It cannot be handled
with too much care. A careless word
or spiteful insinuation may wreck
the NEST irreproachable character in
the country. We are led to these re-
fections because of some very wicked
stories that have gone abroad concern
ing the President. If there is one
thing about Dir. Arthur that the
country really admires it is his taste.
His dress is always the glass of fashion.
Even Mr.. Conkling admitted that he
was the best groomed man in the
country" In snort, Mr.. Arthur has
been invariably esteemed /" scholar
and good judge Of whisky" These
are considered, of course, the com po-
nent parts of gentleman. But some
malignant person has started the report
that the President is by no means up
and square on the whisky business. 1t
is given out that he keeps a private
bottle of eighteen-dollar whisky for
himself, while giving his friends an in
ferior article fact brand that only
sells for twclvs dollars gallon. Ii
this is true, the Hayes Administration,
in comparison, does irdeed become re-
| spectacle, If not heroic. The great
fraud made no pretensions to be q
whisky man. The nest he ever did in
that direction was to give his visitors
Roman punch concealed in oranges
Mr.. Hayes never spent any part Of Mr..
| Tilden's salary in debauchery. That
must be said to his credit. But with
| Mr. Arthur it is different. He ha
won the reputation of man who re-
joices in palate exquisitely adapted t.
the mellow influences of old Bour
bon, and can tell to nicely its age an,
character when the beaded bubble
swim upon the brim. For a man wit
an education like Bsaat to palm twelve
dollar liquer en- his guests is an GU trag
in comparison with which the Pecksni

THE Republican managers claim to
be the especial champions of temper
ance. and favor the Scott law as q
measure calculated to promote the
cause of temperance; that as Greg
ulatOr" it will ultimately put an end to
the liquor traffic. Still they are esps-
'cially' enamored with that law as a
revenue measure, because it will bring
so much money into the treasury. But
if it shall prove so efficient temper
ance measure as to regulate the traffic
out of existence, it would soon be a
total failure for revenue purposes, for
revenue would cease where that kind
of regulation begins. The fact is the
law has no tendency whatever to reg
uiate the traffic, and was never intend
ed for such purpose; and as revenue
measure, even the Supreme Court de-
elares rconstitutionality cannot be
maintained.
