Issue Number two is missing. The Schley County News Thursday, October 13, 1892 No. 3 An informal entertainment was given last night by the Misses Hornady in honor of Miss Pearl Hickey. Two lots of land for sale--part of the W.T. Eason plantation. One 4-room house for sale or rent. Apply to W.H. McCrory. Mr. J.E. Clark, cashier of the Planter's Bank, went to Buena Vista Sunday and spent the day, rumor says, with his best girl. Mr. W.E. Cheney, Miss Nell Davis and Miss Annie Bagly spent Thursday at Andersonville, viewing the sights in and about the National Cemetery. Miss Annie L. Bagley returned to her home in Chattahoochee county, this morning, after a very pleasant visit of about two weeks in our town. Owing to much of our time being consumed this week in getting things in order after moving, our news columns are not as full as usual, for which we beg the indulgence of our readers. The Hart Land case which has been pending in the courts for quite a number of years, went over again without a trial at this term. This was done in order that certain points of law could be tried during vacation. Several negroes it is said were caught some time ago playing cards, by a third party man. The information it is further stated was used in an attempt to intimidate the parties into voting that ticket. Failing in that they were presented to the grand jury. The many friends in this county of Colonel E.M. Butt, of Buena Vista, were made glad this week by seeing him at his accustomed place within the Superior court. He is very feeble yet, however and was not able to attend to business as of yore. A party was given by Miss Dora Childers last Friday evening, near LaCrosse, was the first of its kind this season and was attended by a large number of young people. Several couples went from here and report that they were highly entertained. The News has moved into new quarters adjoining the livery stables. We are now more conveniently located and will be found willing at any time, day or night to credit you with that little mite (?) that makes a great, ugly looking place on our books. Mr. W.W. Lumpkin requests us to say that he has returned home (to the democratic fold) to stay. Like many others who have been lured away from the true party of the people by the fair promises of the new party, he has learned that it is not all that was promised, and has the courage of his convictions. There will be another contest for a Demorest medal at the Methodist church Oct. 18th. These contests aside from being instructive to the young people who take part in them are highly entertaining. During the evening a voluntary collection will be taken up, the proceeds of which will be applied to furthering the temeperance cause. We are having a little breathing spell now from active campaign work. Don't imagine, however, that we are oblivious to the demands of the Third District upon us. Not withstanding all the chickeenery being worked through the undercurrent in Fred Wimberly's behalf, Schley County will roll up a handsome majority for Charles F. Crisp, whose noble work and high achievements in congress have not only endeared him in the hearts of all Georgians, but the people of the whole nation as well. The News has carried over through the dull summer months many small accounts on subscription and advertising for the convenience of our patrons. The reason has arrived when we must meet the obligations we have made; to enable us to do this, and we urge those who are in arrears to this office to come forward and settle at once. Those who owe for a subscription will be notified this week with the X mark opposite the name. Don't imagine that because the amount you owe is so small the editor can afford to do without it. There are hundreds of them--in fact all our business is done that way--hence small amounts are the identical ones we are calling for. Some few have responded since this notice appeared before. Who will be the next to come forward? In connection with the many charges that have been made in the campaign about democratic lies, we rise to state there is some men on the other side who are liars by nature and lie without reason and without conscience. For instance a third party paper sent out from Montezuma after the election last week claimed Georgia and Florida for that party. Then again some cowardly villain who did not have the courage to sign his own name, sent a letter from Murrays Cross Roads to the the Southern Alliance Farmer a few weeks ago in which he stated that there was no paper published in this county. Annanias was a saint compared to this vile creature, whose true name can be read between the lines of this letter. NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC TICKET For president Grover Cleveland, of New York For Vice President Adali E. Stevenson, of Illinois For Congressman from the Third Congressional District Charles F. Crisp, of Sumter. RESOLUTION OF RESPECT The peaceful closing of a beautiful life which has been spent in the service of God, for the uplifting of humanity, carries with it a sermon more eloquent than words. In the death of Mrs. Louisa Winding which occured at the residence of her (?) (son-in-law), Hon. C(harles) B. Hudson, Sept. 11, 1892, there was nothing to fill the heart with despairing grief, but a beautiful picture lingers in the memory of those who loved her of a happy old age and sweet resignation to the will of the alwise Father and this softens the sorrow of parting. >From childhood through a long eventful life she walked where the tender shepherd led, sometimes 'mid scenes of gloom, often by the "still waters" and she left no alarm when she entered the "valley and shadow of death." Whereas The Mite Society of the Baptist church of Ellaville mourns the loss of a devoted and earnest member, therefore be it. Resolved that we its members desire to testify to the consecrated life of our departed friend, who was true to every trust. Resolved that we will strive to follow in her foot steps as she followed Christ, so that in the end we may receive the welcome plaudit, "well done." Resolved that we extend to her bereaved family our sincere sympathy, praying that at last they may be reunited in that happy land where there is no more parting. Resolved that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family of the deceased and that this memorial be spread upon the minutes and a copy be furnished the Schley County News for publication. Mrs. J.M. Thornton, Pres.; Mrs. C.H. Smith, V-Pres.; Mrs. H.S. Lindsay, Sec.; Mrs. W.D. Sears, Treas. MONEY I will loan money on improved property at 2 per cent per annum. Apply to J.R. Williams.
