Ladies and gentlemen, and es¬

so .dashed and dazed when 1 got
up before Ibis tine looking crowd
that 1 couldn’t start off worth a

had to run away from the annii ei

Strong Reasons Why the Rome
Tribune is Against its l’assage.
From the Tribune, of Rome.
The last four months have re
CO j.<led a steady and notable de
e iine of the Olive bill in popular
approval.
The people and their newspa
pers have come to a better
standing of tlie Olive bill and of
the measure and politics against
which it is aimed, and they are
speaking out with remarkable
vigor and growing unanimity in
opposition to this unwise and un¬
desirable measure.
Several of the largest and most
vigorous farmers alliances in
Georgia have already drawn up
p ro tests against the passage of the
an(1 urg . e j their immediate
representatives to vote against it.
A number of the Georgia newspa¬
pers that were its advocates last
year, are now its steady oppo¬
nents, and among others, the Ath¬
ens Banner, an able and incorrup¬
tible tribune of the people, wheels
into line of opposition to the
Olive bill, and says that it is “but
a measure to encourage litigation
for the hungry and poverty strick¬
en lawyers of our -State.”

the development of railroad lines
and systems that are amply in
equipment and in service to han¬
dle their products and to give them
cheap rates to the markets of the
world.
It is the distinct resultant of (ho
Olive bill to thwart and cripple
the railroad development of Geor
gia. Already one railroad con
tracte<1 f or an( j graded, ami about
jo foe equipped by a syndicate of
norlliern ca]>italists, lias been
a ) )aiJ( ] one( j as a s tood because of
this hostile
ed in the Oliye bill. T lie case
the Eden and Americas railroad
furnishes a fair illustration of the
certain effect of the successful
Olive bill upon other railroad de
velopmenfs ot the future. The
people of this country want rail
roads, the farming classes want
railroads more than any other sec
ion or element of our population,
But if the legislature in session is
to pass the Olive bill or any kin
dred measure that will frighten
capitalist and deter them from in
vesting their surplus millions in a

Reedy Springs, July Id.—Busi
ness called me back just in time to
the Inglewood Sunday
school anniversary,
Iiev. J. T. Kinchen, Sr tilled
the appointment of the Baptist
pastor here Saturday and Sunday,
Mr. Kinchen is one of the pioneer
preachers who helped to cut logs
and build church houses in the
witegrass before it was generally
known that without baptism by
immersion, no flesh can be saved,
and lie doubts the predominance
of the act over the motive now.
He’s a Baptist though, and be
lievos that Cod infinitely rather
“all would turn and live "
Dr. Calhoun, of Atlanta, says
the head trouble of W. B. Rogers
is catarrh of the inner ear, and is
treating him for the same. Mr.
Rogers will return Sunday via.
Eastman, and his friends hope
to see him much improved.

Some of our matrimonial aspir
ants are sad now. Miss Belia
Taylor, one of Wilkinson county’s
fovorite young daughters is gone
home. Who can bring her back!
Mr. J. II. Thomas, the popular
clerk of II. II. Smith, of Dublin,
lias been dangerously ill for
several days, but is now able
to write cards of thanks to his
hosts of friends who watched by
lus bedside during bis most matt
cal moments and provided lor him
every comfort and luxury that
willing hands and sympathetic
hearts could bestow. For the
beautiful bouquel of fragrant
flowers sent him l.y some Dublin
ladies. He is-Think how
grateful he ought to be, and he is
that. Henry is a Reedy Springs
boy and always comes home when
he gets sick.
Our springs are attracting more
attention than usual this season.
The latest arrival is at W. B. Rog¬
ers’, a girl that lias never walked
a step or spoken a word. She was
entirely helpless for several days
and the slightest exposure would
have produced instant death. In
valids wishing to spend tho sum
mer here should not be kept back
on account of cheap rates to ail
other watering place, but come at
once. The girl mentioned is sev
oral pounds heavier than when
she readied our lieallh-giving vil
lege ol perpetual youlb; lier voire*
is much stronger, and hopes n\v
enU-rtained that she will be able
to walk and utter a few simple
words before two more years
elapse.
Hon. A. H. Clark came from At
lanta down here Saturday just
to spend-Sunday. Mr. ('lurk lias
friends enough in Laurens county
to send him back to the legislature
jf he will incorporate our churches
and protect us from those avori
cious moral corrupters who are es
tablishing their log saloons on ev

in order ro wreck men of genius
and retard moral and religious en

A tine rain fell here Wednesday
last. Crops continue to look well,
and our farmers seem jovial—
happy over the Haltering pros

of coni, cotton, etc., and we hope
they will not he disappointed, as
we are confident they need all

We had a regular old time “list

of Ash Rozar and a negro by the
