I. W. Meadors returned from a
business visit to several towns in Ala
bama one- e-f-etH-ug recently. While
on his way from Atlanta to Coving
ton Mr. T. C. Swann said: “Ike,
what kind of a time did you have,
and how did you like the country?”
“Fine,” replied I<ke, “but I am glad
togpfback home and think t shall
continue to make my headquarters in
Newton county.” “Well,” replied
Mr. SwaUi), “We carl- travel about and
around, and go from place to place,-
but after all, when we weigh the mat
ter thoroughly, it must be admitted
that there is no better place on this
earth to live'and die than in the coun
ty of Newton.” To which- brother
Meadors loudly shouted, “Amen.”
While in a meditative mood the
other day we came to the conclusion
that mrvny of one male aeqimintenees
who have taken unto themselves
wives seem to be happier and also
are making more progress along the
journey of life than most of the old
bachelors. We believe that a man is
not altogether what hi’s Maker intend
ed for him to be until he does enter
into the holy bands of matrimony.—
We admit that a majority of men out.
marry themselves, but that is no
one’s business except their own and
the good and noble women whom
they have won. “Old bach,” suppose
you make a move this fall or winter
and see if you can’t out-marry your
self, which, in ouropinion, would not
be a very difficult matter to do, that
is, if you chanced to marry at all.
Bmall industries are what we need in
Newton county. We have got to the
point where it becomes necessary to
develop the natural resources of our
county and to establish manufactories
in order to utilize our magnificent
water power. It will require capital
to do this work, and unless our home
people feel able to take hold of this
matter we should make an effort to
get monied men from abroad to come
and assist us. The time has past for
us to remain idle and not publish our
advantages to the world. If this
item meets the eyes of men of pluck,
vim and energy we hope they will pay
our section a visit aud see if it will
not pau out handsomely to put money
in manufactories to be located in this
county. Men of means come aud see
us. A warm welcome awaits yoa all.
Free Trade. —The reduction of
internal revenue stamps from Propri
etary Medicines, no doubt has largely
benefitted the consumers, as well as
relieving the burden of home manu
facturers. Especially is this the case
with Green’s August Flower and
Boschee’s Germau Syrup, as the re
duction of thirty-six cents per dozen,
has teen added to increase the size of
the bottles containing these remedies,
thereby giving one-fifth more medi
cine in the 75 cent size. The August
Flower for Dyspepsia and Liver Com
plaint, and the German Syrup for
Cough and Lung troubles, have per
haps. the largest sale of any medicines
in the world. The advantage of in
creased size of the bottles will he
greatly appreciated by the sick and
afflicted, in every town and village in
civilized countries. Sample bottles
or 10 cents remain the same size.—2.

# Our Religious Revival.
Tin- protracted services, winch have been

uoarly three weeks, have been greatly en
joyed by all our people. Thu Christian
men und women, regardless of denomina

couragement to the good und glorious work
Never in the history of the town or county
Ims there been such us awakening of the
people to the uhsolutc necessity of moral
' and religious r< form, und those who were
i cold and indifferent to the church have
laid false pride and prejudice aside aud pin
! braced the Christian religion. Sor days
past our town Ims been a house of prayer.
Did and young, male and female, have
congregated together to worship at God s
Holy altar. The work of the beloved pas

able ministers, have been greatly rewarded
and tliere is joy and love und peace and
huppincss everywhere. The spirit of the

The WJoolfolk Tragedy.
There has been some important evidence
gathered by Woelfolk’s young :uid tireless
attorney, in the last few days, that may
clear young Woolfoik, who is now in the
Atlanta jail from the heinous crime charg
ed to him. As the tragedy was so general
ly dismissed throughout this county, we will
give our readers a part of what Col W tlk
er has done for his client. He claims that ho
has now found the real murderers of the
Woolfoik household, and says that an es
caped ex-convict, by the name of Jack De
bose, who is now confined in the Canton
jail) and two or three others whom he
knows, committed- the horrible and bloody
murder. • Debose, along with, the others
whose names he does not give, were seen
in the neighborhood of the Woolfoik place
the night the crime was committed, and
Debose has acknowledged to Col. Walker
that he knows who did the killing, and of
fered to inform hint provided he w oil hi let
him go free. But the young attorney claims
that Debose was the party who used the ax
with which the parties were killed, while
the others are only accomplites, and also
that he lias new gatherixl evidence enough
to convict them all. We have never be
lieved that young Woolfoik was guilty, but
hope whoever is, will be brought to jus
tice for a more horrible or bloodier crime
was never committed in this country than
that of the wholesale slaughter of the
Woolfoik family.
