THE New POSTAL NoTes. 1t is
now only little over week before
the public will have the new postal
notes, the limit of their preparation
being September Sd. They will
prove to be of great convenience, as
the sender can transmit any sum
from one cent to FIVE dollars. The
New York Tribune illustrates Ihe
great convenience of the new ar
rsugement by stating that "a lady
living out of town who wants to send
SO 10 to a dry goods store in New
York, will hand the sum and 3 cents
fee to the postmaster. He will give
her an order with the figure 3
punched in the dollar column, the
figure 7 in the column OF dimes, and
the figure 8 in the cents column.
This is simple and easy, and offers
no chance for fraud.

Cur Dead,

There are 1898 COME lerate graves in

Will not the Legislature appropriate sum
to place in order these neglected graves, or

mounds and cover them with briars and
weeds it is constitutional to donate
81, 900 each to buy portraits for Hill, Jen-
kins. Stephens, johnson and other distin'
guished aud beloved Georgians, is it not

thousand dollars to erect headstones to mark
the resting place of those who yielded up
their lives in defense of Georgia and Geor-
gians

A convert in a Methodist congre

A convert in a Methodist congre
cation bad been a strictly honest
man, but profaue aud Sabbath
breaker. The Christian Advocate,
in telling the story, says that he
made full confession in one of the
meetings. He said that he had lived
an ungOdly life, and considered him
self an amazing instance of Gods
mercy. The tide of religious feeling
rose high on his positive testimony,
and as be took bis seat brother
started the hymn, "The dying thief
rejoiced to see that fountain in bis
day" To the surprise of all, the
new convert, in a towering rage,
left the building. On being asked
what the matter was, he said,
There is one thing | never did
never stole; and that they should
Immediately sing like that was a
personal insult"

Every Heart Knows its Own Bitterness

Into every heart some rain must fall,
and there is no family so happy, healthy
and wealthy, but some sorrow, affiiction
and misfortune will enter to disturb the
content that would otherwise dwell there.
We must bear these grievous affections as
sent for wise purpose, mysterious to us
now in the dispensatons of Providence, but
shall be disclosed in the fullness of time.
There are several such stricken homes in
Marietta to whom our hearts 90 out in sym
pathy and love, and we would gladly lift
up their bruised and crushed hearts, and
drive away their sore distress and great at>
Fiction but human power can do but little
and we can only trust in Infinite help, love
and compassion and patiently wait trust
ing that the dark clouds will vanish and
Gods sunlight will beam forth in gladness
and Joy.

One of the Party who Killed Freder-
icks Speaks.

EDS. JoURNAL-Will you permit me
through your paper to inform the Senate of
Georgia and the public generally that the
parties concerned in the killing OF Monroe
Frederick, convict, in Plckens county, the
18th of June, 1882, gave themselves up to
the Sheriff of that county like law-abiding
men and demanded trial but could not
get it on account of Mr.. Carter Tate, the
attorney for the State, not being ready so
the parties Immediately gave bond for their
appearance at the October term of Court,
which they attended from day to day, until
they were informed by the proper authori
ties that the Grand Jury had investigated
the matter and failed to find true bill and
that they could return to their respective
homes. Very Respectfully,
DEWITT o. GREEN.
The above is a correct version of the af
fair as far as we can learn Solicitor Gen
eral Gober very promptly made out bill
of indictment against the parties who did
the killing and asked the Pickens County
Grand Jury to investigate the matter. This
they did, and returned no bill, claiming
that the homicide was justiiable.

Death of MIS-. V. E. Manget.

One week ago last Tuesday, Mrs. Eliza
A. Manget was Frustrated by sudden at
tack of acnte meningitis, and after receiving
the best medical attention and suffering IN
tensely, on Tuesday night last her spirit
disembO died itself from earthly shackles and
winged its way back to the God who gave
it. Her death is indeed sad and untimely
one 1t not only carried a crushing weight
of grief to her devoted husband Rev v Il.
Manget, eight children and loving brother,
Rev James p. DePas, who surrounded her
bedside at the moment of dissolution, but
to every heart in the community capable OF
sympathy for others woes. Mrs. Manget
was indeed noble woman-nOble in Chris
tan conservation good deeds, love, kind
ness and benevOlence. She truly went
about doing good. The Methodist Episco-
pal Church South, of which she was all her
life faithful and consistent member, has
lost an indefatigable worker in the promo
ton of worthy efforts to advance the Re
deemer's cause and glory. AS Vice Presi-
dent of the Georgia Home Missionary So
ciety for the Gainesville District, she was
alert, efficient and untiring. 1t will be diff
ficut to find one to take up the work that
she left uncompleted and carry it forward
with the same amount of energy and sue
cess. But her life's work is ended. Gut of
in the prime of useful and bright woman
hood at the age of AZ years, she has gone to
receive the welcome plaudt, "Well done
thou good and faithful servant, enter thou
into the joys of thy Lord. We but join
the entire community in extending heart
felt sympathy to the bereaved ones In the
loss OF SO excellent wife, fond mother and
noble sister

prices. This is due TO the action of the
Erie road, which transports the dressed
carcasses, and has refused to be governed
by the excessive rates agreed upon by the
other trunk lines to the west. The
rates on Chicago dressed beef
are now 60 per cent higher
than the rates on cattle, but ever with
this discrimination we have reasonably
cheap beef. 1t is now proposed to great
ly increase the rates, with a view of shut
ting cheap beef out of the eastern mar
kets altogether. Commissioner Fink
has prepared a report on the subject, in
which he recommends the higher rates on
the dressed beef shipments, and a pres
sure has been brought upon the Erie to
agree with them. The plain English of
it is that in order that the live stock
yards owned or controlled by the rail
roads may prosper, the people shall pay
extortionate prices for the meat they
consume. Thus a tax is levied upon bus.
mess men and workingmen in the east to
enrich cattle dealers and railroad officials

justice or right.

A steel yacht constructed by the Anne,
rican Ship-building Company, for Morris
X. Jessup, of Newport, Rhode Island,
was launched at Port Richmond yester.
day, and christened the Rover" This
is the first vessel hat has taken the water
from Commander Gorringe's ship-yard.
1t is a beautiful specimen of marine
architecture.
Many other contracts are being filled
by the new company, notably a large iron
ship for William II. Starbuck, of New
York, which is rapidly approaching COM
pletion. Two tugs for the Pacific coast
will be launched in a few days, when the
construction of two more for use at Ha-
vana, Cuba, will Immediately begin.
Last week, Commander Gorringe states,
he contracted for the building of two iron
three-masted centre board schooners for
Philadelphia parties. One of these-for
Captain J~ohnson-will be 1876 feet long,
80 feet beam and IL feet 6 inches depth
of hold, and the other-141 feet long--is
ordered by Captain Malloy, who will put
it in the West India and coasting trade.
Seven hundred men are employed in the
different departments of the yard. Every
thing is in readiness for placing in posi-
ton a floating dock and steam riveting
machine.
