A negro in Dougherty county, n=ar the Terrell line, has adopted a new and ingenious scheme of coune terfeiting money. Having quite a lot of old confederate money, he died it green and passed a billon a young man named Gregory. The officers are now on the hunt for the counterfeiter. ONLY ONE PENSION GRANTED. Ordinary Roberts tells the News that out of six ¢pplications made for pensions for wounded and disabled confederate soldiers in this county only one has, as yet, been granted. In every instance but this single one the applica tions have been returned for some correction ‘to be made. THE REVIVAL. The Methodist meeting in the city progressing very satisfactorily, Large congregations assemble at every service, and much interest has been manifested. Pastor Wes« ton is being assisted this week by Rev. D. F. Riley, of Albany, one ot the ablest and most promising voung ministers of the South Geor gia conterence. THE WHITES PREDOMINATE. It is something strange that at th 2 poor bouse in this county the number of white inmates is so much in excess of the colored ones. At present there are eighteen white people at the poor house and only tour cored ones. This is a remark able state of affairs, but we are told is nothing unusuval for this county. HAND BADLY MANGLED. Last Wednesday, while running the large job press in the NEws establishment, Mr. Tom ILoyless had his right hand badly mashed and mangled, several hones heing broken. Dr. Dean dressed the wounded hand and Mr. Loyless is now getting along very well. His many friends will be glad to know that his band will not be rendered useless by the accident. A GHOST ON LEi STREET. ! And vow it is said that Lee street is the abidinz place of a spook. A citizen living on that street says that when on his way home the other vight a white object, in the shape of a gander, suddenly arose before him and finally grew to the height of a man. The aforesaid citizen was badly scared and now when going home after dark always takes his gun with him {o preteet himself rom the ‘bugaboo, RESTORED TO SIGHT. Mr. G. W. Khodes, who had the mistortune to lose his eye sizht in Fort (iaines, is rapidly regaining it. When Mr. Rhodes arrived in Dawson he was perfectly ana to tally blind, having to be led about.

Mr. ll!hodcs has rented Mrs. Higdon’s | residence on Stonewall street, and is under the treatment of the In« dian doctor, B s it i Carry your eggs Potatoc, corn and water ground meal to the Red l Star Store They always give the top of the market for guch articlea, l COTTON CLOTH BAGGING. | Resolutions Adopted by ths Alliance Cor t veation. - Captain John McCarthy returns ced from Atlanta Saturday, where lie had been to represent this coun~ ty in the alliance convention. * Besides attending to other im-~ portant matters, the convention adopted cotton cloth as the future covering of the cotton of the South. The following resolutions were adopted in reference to the cotton | cloth bagging. The purposes and plans of - the aliiance are stated l tully in these resolutions: Ist. That we recommend the use of cotiton only as a covering for cotton. 2nd. That we recommend no change in the size of the eotton bale. Srd. That 8 committee ot ten of eur best business men be appoint ed to take in hand the matter of a sapply of cotton hagging, and l make the best possible arrange meiit for the coming season, 4. That we preter bagging for~ ty-four inches wide it it be practi cable to obtain it. 5. That the subject of ties be re ferred to the s:me comuittee, l 6. That said comunttee use their best endeavor to make arrange meuts with the cotton cxchanges ot the world with referesce to tare on bales packed in bagging lighter th.n jute, 7. That we pledge ourselves to stand by these resolutions. I Mermonism in Terrell. We are told that the Mormons have a regularly established church in the southeastern part of this county where services are frequently neld. We regret that these emissaries of the devil and Joe Smith are still disposed to ta~ tigue the indignation of the good people of Terrelk-county. The NEWS counsels no vislence toward them further than isinvolved in the raw hide or the hickory well laid on. That may be sufficient to rid the country of these prose lyting beasts: and there is no oc« casion for violence when mild pers suasives prove effestive. But be that as it may, the wretches who come into this sectionand insinuate themselves into quiet and honora~ ble homes, to destroy the sanetity of the family relations between those “whom God his joined tos gether,” should be made to know and recognize the fact that Terrell soil is, to them, forbidden ground. The wives and daugzh ters of our people must be protect— ed from these moral lepers. Phys« ical leprosy isa boon in comparis son with the moral pestilence that abidesin their wake. ——— e A Few Local Items. Every week we receive words ot encouragement from people who appreciate our endeavors to display lthe advantages of our town and ' section as they deserve.

Opinions of Our Leading Citizens--Every= { thing Points to Its Erection. Since the azitation of the sub jeet by the Nuws, the building ot a new court house for Terrell is engaging the attention of vur most ‘enterprising citizens.. Some few ‘are opposed to its immediate erec tion, bata'very large majority are in favor of building it at once. Below we give the opinions-of a few prominent citizens, pro and con: I Judge Rube Simmons: *“ltis a' necessity, We must have a new f court house, and have it right! away. Why, my office, which is in the court house, is in such a ’ decayed condition that I cannot keep my safe in it.” ! Hon. S. R. Christie: “Yes, I think Terrell should bave a new court house. Twenty-five year bonds could be issued aud the peo~ ple would scarcely feel the ex pense.” Representative Kendrick: “We need a new eourt” houss, and I'suppose we are about as well fix-) ed for buildicg it now as we will be i the near future. I am not in favor of making a single ims provement on the ol one.” i J. R. Mercer: “We shouid at thorize Lepresentative Kendrick | to have a bill passed for the issuing | of $30,000 worth of six per cent. bonds. They will at lenst sell at par, and commwencing with 1891 sud paying $l,OOO yearly the tax | would be searcely felt. A coun- ! ty’s public buildings are an index to i‘s prosperity.” Cai{_)t. W. C. Dillon: “I am de~ cidedly in favor of issuing bonds for that purpose.” Capt. Wm. Kaigler: “Yes, sir; we need it above all things. If Ran dolph can afford a decent court house Terrell certainly can.” ’ “W. R. Melton: “Too poor. ' Taxed to death now. Give us a| rest.” ; 1.. A. Lowrey: “We need one | and if we must have it on a credit | now is about as good a time as| Bny.” J. A. Laing: “Our present court house isa disgrace to the county. We should have a $25,. 000 court house by all means,” Dr. J. G. Dean. “Yes, sir; if Terrell county keeps pace with her ' prosperity she must have a new court house.” Col. Jim Guerry: “I'm a lawa yer.” o Jeff Davis and Dan Crouch: *“Sadly in need of it. You are on ‘ the right track.” ‘ Dr. G. W. Farrar: “Not able.” ! T. Y. Martin: “I am atraid ofl this bonded debt. But I wouldi like to see a new court house.” ' M. C. Mims: **Weshould have | it. We have the mest prosperous | county in the State.” ‘ Hoyl & Parks: *‘We certainly think it one of Terrel’s most pressing needs, and we are az well able to build it now as we will ev er be.” 2 J. A. Horsley: “Opposed to gos ing in deht for a new court house.” ~ A. J. Baldwin: “We should bave one and I am in tavor of is suing bonds for that purpose.” J, W.Turner: “The one we ‘bave will.do for the present.” - These interviews will be contin ued next week, avd among oth~‘ ers we wili give the opinions of our country friends. | Ot | Death of an Esteemed Citizen. ~ Since going to press we le.rn of the death ot Mr. Jus.

Such an ohject walked our streets l+st week, and trom what we cav learn did not meet with much guceess. | At one place he got a little fatherly advice from a gentleman who was wont to 'eok upon the plowhadles as the proper »lace tor tho sons of Ham, At ancther establishment he was shown the doer. Not deunted, however, he continued to work the town and at last the fortune that favers the brave favored the *black.” From a prominent merchant who is ever ready to encourage an elevating tendency in the race, the ¢ilored drummer got a real nice order. While prices did uot come pare with those of Macon, the clev er merchant was determined to help him out, as the following or« der will show: 200 barrels of granulated sugar, 200 barrels of extra C. sugar, 100 bags of coftee, 500 cases of potash, 100 cases of sardines, 5 carloads of flour, 5 earloads of meat.
