would forever be stricken from the list. An
affidavit to this effect was made by Iocla, one

Gen. slocum viii have charge of the Fitz
John Porter bill in the house. The only diff
hculty expected is that some of its Opponents
will make the objection that the preambleis
not pertinent to the bill. The fact that the
bill had to go back to the house is dua to him,
dering on the part of the house managers. In
stead of selecting the bill which passed the
senate last year., which provided adequate
safeguard against back pay, and which would
be certain to pass the senate this year. the
mousse managers adopted a different phraseolo-
gy, which, in the opinion of the best LAWYERS
IN the senate, did allow back pay. Yet it was
not Gen. Porter's desire to have his case com
plicated with such a question.

The Pauper Farm.

The Dawson correspondent of
the Americas Recorder has this to
say of our county farm
DAWSON, Ga, July 23.-Through
the courtesy of the efficient Or
binary of this county, Judge FL. S.
Bell, we are enabled to make a
report showing a most excellent
condition of the county farm for
the support of paupers in Terrell
county. Once it cost from $1,000
to 81, 500 per year to support the
paupers Of this county, now it is
done at a margin of few hun
dred dollars, due to the admirable
workings of this farm. The su-
perintendent, Mr.. w. K. Gammage,
aided by the help of two hired
persons, is doing good work to
bring this farm up to the most de-
sirable results. Crops of corn,
cotton, oats, rice, peas, etc, are cult
waited with success, and the table
of the farm is well supplied with
vegetables. More than half the
meat for the support of the farm is
raised on the place. This institu-
ton is nearly self-sustaining, and
it has proved for itself, in the last
eleven years that it has been in op-
Grafton, to be one of the necessary
things for this county. The
health of the inmates is good, for
the location of the farm, few
miles from the city, is most
healthful one. Charity covereth
multitude of sins" is an adage OF
vital import, and we are sure if
Terrell county has many sins to
atone for, her wise and kindly care
for her poor, as exhibited in this
farm, will go far to make an atone
ment for her short comings. We
have the poor always with us, and
the kindly hand extended toward
them is characteristic of godli-
ness"
There are twenty inmates at the
present time connected with the
farm, and the good that the farm
is doing for the poorer class of
our people is invaluable. Our
county commissioners and the
Ordinary of this county deserve
much appreciation from us, as O
people, for what they are doing
for our paupers.

THE BATTLE FLAG OF THE FIFTH
GEORGIA REGIMENT.

An article in the Macon Tele.
graph and Messenger of last Sat
urday, with the above headline,
was read with much interest here.
One of the companies that COM
posed this regiment, the Dawson
Volunteers, was raised in this
county. The flag referred to in
the article has quite a historic
character to many of our people
some of whom followed its for
tunes in the fight of November
9th, 1864. VIM. G. Harp, son of
N: L. Harp, of this county, was
killed while carrying this flag, and
it was only after five of the color
bearers had been shot down that
it was captured. Capt. John A.
Fulton, of this city, who gallantly
commanded the Dawson Volun-
teers in that fight, was wounded
at that time, and so was Geo. w.
Wooten, a member of the same
company, who was struck in the
head by piece of shell. On that
day but seven companies of the
9th Georgia were in the fight, but
that small force of not over $50
men were massed against ten
regiments of Federal troops.
composed of white and negro
soldiers. Alone this gallant regi-
ment held it's ground against this
overwhelming force of the enemy,
and saved from capture the Char
lesion d Savannah Railroad, which
kept open the communication be-
tween the two cities of Charleston
and Savannah. During a portion
of the fight the 3rd Georgia Re-
serves (Joe Browns pets, held a
reserve position and protected the
9th Georgia in its final retreat, a
retreat back to its works on the
railroad which it had successfully
protected. No more gallant deed
was done during the war than was
this deed of the 9Th Georgia Regi-
ment, which alone successfully
protected one of our most impor-
tant lines of communication
against overwhelming numbers.
