The friends of Georgius able and

will regret to learn of the probable
Ins* of hi* right eye which threatens
to result from cataract.. The member
is being treated by Dr. Calhoun, but
despite liis experienced skill there is
little hope of saving the sight. Col.
llurdenmn claims, however, that the
loss of one eye will not impair his use
fulness ns a watch dog of the treasu
ry us he lias already observed with the

about state legislation, which, if

would advance the financial interests

Some of the preachers are making
a vigorous fight against members of j
the church receiving their mail and
reading the daily papers on Sunday. |
It is right that the Sabbath be observ
ed as a day of rest, and it is also well
that all men endeavor to live honora
ble, upright lives every other day in
the week. We admit that the reading
of a newspaper on Sunday is not ab
solutely necessary to the spiritual ed
ification and welfare of any member
of the church ; neither is it necessary
for people to eat three meals, prepar
ed and often cooked by’ the tired wife
or mother, on the Sabbath day. Of
course this question has two sides to
it and it may be well enough to dis
cuss it every now and then in a kind
and biother’y m inner.
“Editor Enterprise: —Did Col.
Livingston ever go to the Legislature
from Newton, as an independent?
Did he ever go as the nominee of the
Democratic party ?”—Henry County
Times At one time, long years ago.
Col. Livingston’s friends sent him to
the legislature without a nomination,
but liis race was made as a democrat,
and in order to set him right on cer
tain mutters which had been charged
to him. He was chairman of one of
the largest committees in the House.
Two years thereafter he was the nom
inee of the Democratic party of New
ton county for the same position. He
was then chairman of the Democratic
Executive Committee. The last po
litical office . 01. Livingston held was
that of State Senator from the 27th
district. He was the nominee of a
Democratic convention and elected by
the Democratic voters of the district.
For further evidences of the purity
of his Democracy we refer you to his
public record and faithful services for
the past twenty years or moie.
In speaking of Rev. Dr. J. N.
Bradshaw’s departure from Darien the
Timber Gazette says: “Dr. Brad
shaw, by a course of pious example
ami daily precepts for the guidance of
his fellow-men, drew around him from
the very first many firm and warm
personal friends, and that lie feels it
is liis duty to retire from a field in
which he has done so much real good,
is most generally regretted, and we do
not now sec how our Presbyterian
friends can afford to have him go, as
in our opinion it will be difficult for
them ever again to secure a gentleman
if more sterling worth, and so calcu
lated to build up the Master’s work
in their church. In bidding Dr. and
■lrs. Bradshaw good-bye our best per
s aial wishes will follow them both to
such new fields as a lucky and appre
ciative people may call him, and we
congratulate such a people, before
hand, in securing the ministry of a
gentleman of such rare intelligence
and social virtues. We wish the Dr.
and wife Godspeed, and happy pas
titrate and church relations in the fu
ture,”

OUR FOUNTAINS OF WEALTH
No more desirable water power can
lie found oil eaith than right here in
Newton county. W’c have Yellow,
Alcova timl South rivers all heading
in the direction of the mountain* and
with a gradual fall all along their
course until they lose their identity
by uniting and forming the Ocmul
gee. At Cedar Shoals, lienry Shoals,
Corley Shoals iiud a dozen other plu
I ees, on Yellow river, the fall is great
and the power sufficient to drive ma
chinery for a number of mills and
factories At Snapping and Island
Shoals, on South river, the fall is fine
and the power immense At Hender
son's Mills, Newton Factory, W hite’s
Factory and many other points, on j
Alcova river, the tall is good and the
power all that could be desired. At
Indian Fishery and Lee’s Shoals just |
above, and at Barm's Shoals a little :
below, u!l near where the three rivers
unite, no better power can be found
anywhere. At no season of the year
is there a scarcity of water. At all
these points beds of solid granite can
be found in sufficient quantity to con
struct foundations for buildings, ra
ees, dams, etc., and the best of brick
can be manufactured from dirt and
clay to be bad for the digging. Shall
these powers continue to remain idle?
Shall this water, so easily controled,
continue to run in waste? Let capi
talists from abroad and monied men
at home answer. Utilize these valu-
Ide natural gifts from the Creator to
the creature and the cabin will give
way and the mansion take its place.
Want and pinery will soon depart
and luxury and prosperity will come
instead. The iron is red hot, who can
lie found with nerve and courage suf
fieient to strike the first blow ? The
harvest season is upon us, the grain
is ripe, who will volunteer to begin
the reaping? This is no fancy pic
ture —there is no fiction embodied in
this brief article.
Rev. W. H. La Prado preached two
interesting sermons on the question
•if “Doubt,” at the Methodist church
last Sunday morning and night. No
clearer or more comprehensive ser
mons were ever delivered here —they
were forcible, logical and eloquent,
and listened to with interesting earn
estness by a large and appreciative
congregation. It would I e impossi
ble to give even a synopsis of these
mighty efforts by tiiis able Divine and
we shall not attempt to do so. All
who heard the sermons wi 1 bear us
out in saving that no more convincing
arguments were ever delivered in the
Methodist church here. Asa pulpit
orator, Bible student and expounder
of the gospel our friend and pastor
is the peer of any brother in the
Methodist ministry. We say this not
as ail idle compliment, but as a slight
tribute to the worth and ability of a
good man who is devoting liis time,
his talents, his means and his life to
the glorious cause of Christ, who suf
fered pain, torture and cruel death
upon the cross to save a sinful world.
The Miikdgeville Chronicle l ist s
to remark : “Col L. F. Livingston,
the much spoken of Alliance man,
for Alliance President and Governor
of Georgia, in an interview with an
Atlanta Journal reporter, declares it
to he the unalterable determination of
the Alliance to fight the trusts and
monopolies to the hitter end. No in
dividual ambitions will be encouraged
but the whole energy of the organiza
tion will be directed toward this end.
If Col. Livingston proves as energet
ic in action as in word and is hacked
up by the Alliance wonders may
be accomplished —if not it will prove
a failure.” Don’t get excited and be
come nervous, brother Chronicle, over
any imaginary “failure” on the part
of the Alliance or Col. Livingston.
That “trusts” will be antagonized and
fought “to the hitter end” is true. —
It will be fun worth waiting to see,
Not only for you, hut also for me,
When the Alliance this fall, perhaps,
Shall tackle the “trust” in burlaps.
The Conyers Solid South, in speak
ing of the “old mother county,” has
this to say : “Newton county has at
last got on foot a movement in the
right direction. Hon. O. S. Porter
and his associates have petitioned the
superior court to be made a body po
litic for the purpose of manufactur
ing cotton into all kinds of goods, be
sides other kinds of business which is
to be in connection with it. With
Mr. Porter at the head of this corpo
ration, having un extensive manufac
turing experience, success is assured.”
Mr. Porter is one of the most indus
trious, progressive and practical men
in this county ; he has a clear head, a
warm heart—is courteous and com
panionable, and knows no such word
as “fail.” The Solid South is correct
when it says that “with Mr Porter at
the head” “success is assured.”
The grand juries it middle Georgia
counties should take time to investi
gate the charges that the fish ways on
our rivers are being closed by traps,
nets and dams. The free passage of
fish along these streams would insure
an abundance of choice fish at alt seal
sons of the year, but more especially
in the spring and summer months.
Uncle Joel Kitchens, of Indian Fish
ery, who has caught more fish than
any other man in Newton county,
says the fish supply will fall short in
all the streams in tlds section until
fish ways are opened from the mouth
to near the head of all our rivers.

My Mother has bad a cough lor twenty
yenrs. pneumonia leaving her with a bron
chial trouble. Two years ago, her lungs
becoming involved, she became very much
emaciated and lost all strength, being un
tier regular troatmenl of a physician and
taking medicine ail hours of the day. this
continued until a year ago when 1 saw your
advertisement of Dr. Aker's English Rem
edy for Consumption and procured a bot
tle, as the tickling in her throat was unre
mitting and so irritating as to make talk
ing impracticable. She was so much re
lieved that another bottle was procured and
we now buy by the case, she never being
without it. She has no physician and takes
no other medicines. She remarked lately
that if she had not procured it when she
did she would now Tie dead.
We have recommended it to others who
always receive benefit from it. If anyone
desiring further particulars will address me
with a stamp 1 will answer with pleasure,
as I deem it the best cough medicine made.
A trial only is necessary to convince
anyone of its merit. Very Respectfully,
