The Colquitt County People Think Much OF
the Congressman.
From the Moultrie Observer.
Hon. j. M. Griggs, congressman from
this district, was one of the visitors this
week, he having come over Sunday az
ternoon and attended court Monday
The Judge looks to be in excellent
health, and was in one of bis happiest
MOODS while here. The yeomanry OF
the county was here to attend court, and
the congress man, who is noted for his
affableness, had many hearty hand
shakes. He spent the day mingiing with
the people, and at noon there was
clamor for a speech from him. Judge
Griggs is a pleasant talker, we'll abreast
with the new political issues, and usual
Iy carries few speeches loose about
him. Que of his choice ones was gwen
to the Colquitt audience which thronged
the court house when he began to speak,
and was CT eered Justify from beginning
to end. No district in the state can pro-
duce representative nearer to the COM
mon people and yet one so able to cope
with the giant minds in congress. Nr.
Griggs greatly strengthened the firm
hold he has long held on the masses OF
this county.

ABLE AND STRONG.

Judge sheffield's Charge to Clay COuntg
Grand Jury Praised.
From the FIT. Games Sentinel.
Judge Sheffield's charge to the grand
jury was unusually able and strong, and
was not only helpful and conducive Of
much good in its effect upon the jury,
but was profoundly impressive upon all
who heard it. He called special atten>
ton to the growing EVIL OF mob violence
in the country and its dangerous tenden-
cies, to the liquor traffic 10 this county,
and to the menacing evil of idleness and
vagIancy, ana the good effect vt his re-
marks along these lines have already
been seen in the work of this session of
court. AS a lecturer on the evils of
lawiessueSs and the seriously threaten
ing tendency of affairs in lax regard
for the moral obligations of citizens gen
orally Judge Sheffield is one of the
most earnest and tOrcible speakers We
ever heard. His lecture IL sentencing
some # the young men wlu pleaded
guilty to the charge OF whltecapping
was most Impressive lesson indeed,
and is pronounced by all who head it
gem of raIe beauty and worth, the 30 d
effect Of which in this county cannot be
estimated. No judge ever sat upon this
bench who commanded SO completely
the entire confidence OF our people gen
orally, either as an official or an hon ra-
bic, hIgh-toned citizen, and we believe
all will feel honorcd in honoring this
good mau.
