President Harrison is proba

Hon. Weight Beady, of Amer-

Brady Guano bill, will be a candi

The fact that better prices have
been received for cotton this year
than last, in face of the increased
yield, is attributed to the work of
the Farmers’ Alliance.

It is reported from Washington
that Secretary Blaine has recover-
ed his health completely, and that
he will be an active candidate for
President when the campaign
opens.
The farmers of Georgia should
not forget to remember, next year,
that the State Commissioner of
.Agriculture should be a practical
farmer who has successfully man
aged his business affairs.
Hon. Wright Brady, author of
the famous guano bill, is now
agent for the sale of guano. The
business position he now occupies
is contrary to the theoretical posi
tion he occupied wffile a legisla
tor.
An election to determine wheth

should issue bonds for the pur
pose of constructing sewers, was
held last Monday. The issuance
of bonds was defeated by nine
votes.
Nearly all the railroads have
refused to pay the license tax re

democratic party is now laboring.
At no time has it been more ap
parent than now that the republi
can party derives whatever
strength it has from the favor it
gives to the rich manufacturers of
the north and east, and the section-
tional character of the legislation
continually advocated.
The democratic party is founded
on principles that would serve all
the people alike, and give special
favors to none. .Just-opposite to
this is the republican party.
The democratic party declares
that the United States constitutes
one common country, and that the
political legislation applicable to
any one section is applicable to all.
Tbe republican party, by speech
and attempted practice, declares
that there should be legislation of
a political character for the south
that should not be applied to tbe
north and east.
In simple words: The demo
cratic party is for the people, and
derives its strength from the peo.
pie.
The republican party is for the
monoplists against the people, and
derives its chief strength from the
money furnished Jby the monopo
lists to influence elections in'favor
of that party.
The people of the entire country
have it in their Ipower to say which
party should con troll the political
affairs of the United States, and it
is the duty of every'voter to in
vestigate the merits and claims of
each party. /
Next year/a new congress is *to
be elected, and it is now evident
that the entire energies and capac
ity of the republican majority in
congress will be exerted to benefit
the republican party, regardless of
the demands and rights of the
people, j
It will be well if the voters con
sider closely the character of the
legislation, and the kind of gov
ernment, afforded by the republi

In the Georgia legislature the
Hon. Wright Brady persistently
contended for legislation that
would treat guano as a fraud, and
guano dealers as tricksters. He is
now employed to induce farmers
to purchase guano.
Congress will probably enact a
law antagonistic to commercial

mend it to all farmers.

most sudden, unaccompanied by
its warning steps, and before hu
man hands could interfere, had
transported his spirit heaven
ward.
H?s life was an example to the
world—a devoted husband, a pa
tient, kind and loving father, fear
less in fraternal affection, and a
consecrated Christian. For his
family he cherished ah ardent
love, and their every want was Ms
especial care; as a brother, he was
held in the highest esteem and
love; and, as a friend, be was good
and true.
.This strange separation of the
mortal and immortal has blighted
the happiest scenes of a family cir
cle, and planted in its stead
host of weeping relatives and
friends.
He was preceded by his devoted
wife only a year, and their happy
re-union in the life beyond sent a
thrill of joy to the occupants of
Heaven. His unchanging devo
tion to her was not lost before
death made its claim upon his spir
it. Such undying devotion be
tween husband and wife made £
happy home, and instilled in their
children a character most en
bling.
He was a consistent member of
the Methodist Church, and was
happy in the hope of a life eternal
in the Heavens.
In his death his country loses a
fearless and patriotic son, his chil
dren a most devoted and affection
ate father, and his brothers and
sisters a loving brother.
But why should we mourn his
loss? The mysterious change we
call death, is the beginning of a
new life, where God has claimed
him for a life in Heaven, and a
happy union with his loved ones
there.
To the bereaved family, in their
deep grief, sympathy is not want
ing, and their friends will ever
cherish a deep, feeling for them in
mourning their sainted ones so
dear.
