EDITOl S. «| ONE DOLLAR A YEAR IN ADVANCl OFFICIALORGAN OF DOUGLAS COONl Advertising Rates on Application. 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. AFTER LESSEES. LOCAL LEAFLETS. /In the early part of April Governor Crowded off the Leeal Page by gi Rash ' Atkinson will nave before him one of G))' . ' Advertising, the most important hearings that he 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. A heavy cyclone visited Arlington Ga., Monday morning, killing in stantly eight school children and se riously injuring many others. Seven prisoners escaped from the jail at Dalton last Sunday night by sawing the iron bars into with an old knife. None have been recaptured. Four gubernatorial ♦elections will be held this year, Ohio, Iowa, M as- aschuaetts and Virginia are the states that will elect governors this fall. Seventy dentists : graduated from the colleges in Atlanta this week. Don’t know what the Country is going to do with so many tooth carpenters, but people will have the toothache, you know. The Southern Record, 1 published at Tocoa, Ga., is one of the brightest and neatest papers on our exchange list. It is a good paper because it has the support of the people of its section/ The Georgia state pr^b is becom ing overburdened with “fearless* writers, ” Write long-winded articles telling how to run the government, cry hard times and free silver, call McKinley an idiot and a wishey- washy Wall street hoodlum and Grover Cleveland a traitor and damn rascal and then you will be dubed a ‘ ‘fearless writer” by some of the Georgia editors when they are noth ing but Contemptible Cowardly Ca lamity Cohorts, Mr. Toothaker has been nominated by the republicans of the. town of Argentine, Kan.,, for the morality. Should he ever fill the office, the “boys” would try to get a pull on him. Failing in that, they would exert themselves to deposit him in a 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. ‘IT STINKETH.” .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. Yours for Business, ’ UPSHAW BROS. & CO.
