poiH0cu Ny OOlciUOr HutChorSOn,' as his
assistant. Hon. N. A.Morris has been
theoretically acting in that capacity
heretofore. Col, McCleskey moved to
this place from Alpharetta over year
ago where he was ordinary of the coun-
ty. He will no doubt make a very eff
iicientassistant in the important duties
that are to be performed. Hon. N. A
Morris, in regard to the change, said /:
lowing to the increase of our law firm s
civil practice, it demands more atten-
ton, and | could not devote the time
that was necessary to assist in the
prosecutions of the criminal cases
throughout the circuit. Last year I
could not attend more than half of the
courts in the circuit, and this fall 1
could not attend any on account of
being in the Legislature. l have been
intimately associated with Hon. Thos.
Hutcherson in his work for the past
two years and l believe in him the
Blue Ridge Circuit can congratulate
itself on having the most efficient
prosecuting officer in the state of
Georgia. In the future l will devote
my entire attention to our practice,
both civil and criminal"
Is religion one of the fine arts, that
it should consist simply in going to
meeting in good clothes every Sunday,
saying grace at table, and praying
night and morning? Are we so literal
ly flock that we have nothing to do
but to be fed all the year, yielding only
the annual fleece which forms our pas
tors salary?-Exchange. No, not by
good deal. But the man who can go
out in this busy world in the marts of
trade, coming in contact with all kinds
of people with different temperaments,
likes and dislikes, may count himself
fortunate if he can earn money:enough
to wear good clothes on Sunday and
pay the preacher his salary and at the
same time retain religion" enough to
say "grace" at the table.
The latter part of last week nearly
every passenger train was crowded
with discharged United States soldiers,
going home. They acted disgracefully
in getting drunk, whooping, yelling
and shooting off their pistols. 1t was
almost dangerous to travel on the train
with them. They should have had a
special car to themselves, so ladies and
other passengers could have travelled
without having to mix and hear the
profanity and vulgar language of these
fellows, who seemed to totally ignore
thepresence of decent people or their
rights. The conductors could do moth
ing with them in preserving order on
the trains
Small profits and quick returns is a
grand business principle. Better to
deal with multitude than with few
A thousand nimble nickles are better
than hundred slow dollars. Turning
over stock and money rapidly means
successful business, and those. who
make the least margins of profit and
sell the most goods are generally the
biggest advertisers.
Dr. Woodward, of Atlanta, is treat
ing Mr.. Johnnie Thompson, of this
place, for rheumatism. We learn that
there is already remarkable improve
ment, the blood is beginning to circu-
late in his wasted and drawn limbs he
can turn his head and lift his hand. Af-
ter nine years of affection, if he should
be cured, it would be great blessing
Forty thousand dollars will be spent
on the building and equipping of a
railroad from Ball Ground to the Hern-
don marble quarries and in working
the quarries. Judge Gober is president
of Amicalola Marble and Power Com
pany, and Col. w. r. Power, secretary.
The rapid development of these quar-
ries will go forward. Already the out
put is sold.
A man might just as well try to look
through a sick mule to locate his pain,
as to attempt looking through his pref
udice to discover truth and virtue in
the fellow who stole his umbrella at
church.
The wisdom of our ancestors comes
to us as the cream of theiR sweat and
toll and experimental miseries, and we
can churn new thoughts out Of it if we
have any dash about us.
Mr.. T. E. Rogers and wife, who have
been in Atlanta some time, spent Sun
day here, having as their guests Mrs.
Johnnie Mcnamara and Mrs Kingston
OF Atlanta,
Prof. S. V. Sanford delivered a fine
address last Sunday afternoon to the
