Clyde Shropshire, of Rome. Ga.,f
who is vice consul to Paris, has play
ed the devil generally over there. It
is claimed that he stole about $40,-
000 from his employer, besides swin
dling his friends out of large sums.
To end it all, he skipped out with the
money and carried with him a <|jprept
uable woman. Mr. Shropshire seems
to have fallen from grace.

Congress has a new Republican
leader in the person of Mr. Dingley,
the author of the new tariff bill. We
don’t care a ding if Dingley does
lead, if he will bring us up out of the
slough of hard times and set our feet
upon the solid rock of prosperity.
MOVING UP.
Every indication is good that
Douglasville is moving up hilt and
that Doug'as county will keep up the
pa? e. Many of our citizens are con
sidering the'etection of new buildings
enough to give employment to work
men for months to coine. And, be
sides this, playsfor the newiP?50,000
cotton and woolen ire being
drawn, and other improvements are
being dlscna&ed sfra considered.
inctufes continue to come in about
our fayming and mineral lands prov-
FDouglas county possesses
manjf^opportunities and advantages
for investors. It will take only a
short investigation to convince any
^ one that everything for Douglasville
and Douglas county means better and
brighter times.
It requires no,prophet to say that
the people want good times. They
may differ as to the best method to
bring such an era about. Yet all
thinking people will agree the safest
way is to buy every dimes worth of
goods you need or want here in Doug
lasville. Every dollars worth of
goods you buy out of Douglasville
yoO take a dollar out of local circu
lation.
A‘dollar circulates several times
per month and every dollar sent away
makes one dollar less to circulate and
lessens trade several dollars per
month, We have been building east
ern factories; we have made the east
wealty and populous; we have fur
nished the freight to the railroad#and
made them rich. ; It is high time
that we commence to build up this
section and make it prosperous.
As the laborers expend money for
the various things for sale and the
farmer finding a good home market
expends his money in the town for the
things he needs, the money js kept in
circulation among the people of that
vicinity, there is activity in business
circles, the banks are benefited by
larger deposits, a more active demand
for money for investment, as busi
ness of all kinds pays better.
Of all these things are food for
thought. The New South is heart
and brain for upbuilding this, the
most favored section of the South.
We have every resource to make it
the richest country on earth. Why
not develop that which nature has so
lavishly bestowed upon us? Well di-
•nergy on the part of a few enterpris
ing citizens would give us an impetus
that would gather volume as it went
and nothing short of Providence
would stay our success. A trial would
convince the most skeptical. It is an
ecclesiastical proverb, and a true one,
that God helps those who help them
selves. Let us go to work!
||as considered this year.
’*• ."I e hearing is that* of the. lessees
e»|,.fhe state’s convicts,and. will be
bad before the governor April 5th
and 6th. So much business is to be
ifansacted at this time that two days
ikill be taken up in disposing of it.
The lessees of the, convicts will be,
required to appear before Governor
Atkinson and show cause why they
should not be fined for allowing pris
oners to'escape during the year, A
large number of convicts have made
their escape during the, year, and the
lessees will be required to show that
Escapes were not made * through any
negligence on their part; otherwise he
they will be fined. The New Sooth
believes, that the governor is correct
in insisting' that the lessees pay for
escaped convicts, and we believe that
he will make them ante up.
Douglasville will have growlers and
grumblers as long as the world stand.
They are a plague that we must have.

The Georgia state pr^b is becom

Mr. Toothaker has been nominated
by the republicans of the. town of

Should he ever fill the office, the
“boys” would try to get a pull on

cavity. Toothaker, however, says
he is sure to plug along and bridge
all difficulties and avoid all snags.
That, by the wa*', may be all gas.

.What Kind of Guanos Are You Going
to.Use? ... / '•
Remember that the best is the
cheapest always. Beware of goods
that are sold too cheap. Some of
them are dear at half the price you
pay for them.
After 15 years experimenting with
nearly all the brands of guanos sold
in this part of Georgia, we are con-*
vinced that Scotfs Gossypium and
Peace River Acid is the best vegeta
ble amoniated guano, and phosphate
sold in the South. While the best
pure animal amoniated guanos we
can possibly get are the old Soluble
SEA ISLAND and KENNESAW
High grades (Merriman formula.)
These guanos are made from the best
material known to the fertilizer-ma
king science. And it has been prov
en by numerous experiments that
they are the safeet guanos for a far
mer to risk his whole year s work on.
25 to 50 cents per acre, even if you
use 200 pounds per' acre, is all these
goods will cost you over the cheapest,
sorriest stuff that you can, buy.
Now, we submit this to thinking
business men. Take it home with
you and smoke it; in your pipe. If
the best is any better than' the
common, ordinary stuff, it ig more
than 25 to 50 cents per acre better.

used Salvation Oil and think there is
no liniment on earth like it. I had the
rheumatism for. several months and
could get no relief: until T used Sal

a cure, and I feel as well as ever. . No
