Major Flowers, in anticipation of a
large quail crop, has bought a fine

our office Monday sweetly singing :
“I’d like to stay where breezes play,

I’ll need my cash for quails and coal.”

Three years ago Lee and Jewett
Callaway, of Oglethorpe county, left
Emory college to engage in farming.
Speaking of their success the Echo
says: “They began with a twenty
mule farm and have increased that
number to forty. Besides they have
established a ginnery which affords
accommodation to the public as well
as themselves. They have opened
and built up a mechautile business
that would do credit to any town.—
They have in operation saw-mills and
keep constantly employed forces of
carpenters building more houses and
quarters for their hands and stock. —
All these industries and enterprises
are under the immediate sapervisiou
of the two brothers. Their present
crop prospect is without doubt the
best in the county. Without any dis
aster they will make iu the neighbor
hood of four hundred bales of cotton
and as is their custom a superabun.
dance of supplies of all kinds. They
now have seventy large hogs fattening
for this winter’s killing.”

The bride is a daughter of our friend
and fellow citizen, Captain Grant D.
Heard, and a charming and most ex
cellent young lady, possessing every
qualification of mind and heart to
make the life and home of her gallant

to be an industrious, progressive and

plenty be with them all along the

their household from the bridal altar

UNION PICNIC AT ALMON.
On the 7th inst. we attended a bas
ket dinner and picnic, at Almon, giv
en by Shiloh Sunday school and Far
mers’ Alliance. The writer was invi
ted and took great pleasure in 'meet
ing the excellent people of that sec
tion of our dear old county. The
grove in front of Mr. Gray’s residence
was nicely cleared off and everything
put in perfect order. The day was
clear and the air just breezy enough
to be pleasant. We found a large
number of good people already on the
ground, and everything indicated a
day of enjoyment, and such it proved
to be. On one side of the grove fires
were burning and men were busily
engage in preparing pud cooking fish
for dinner.
Under the spreading liinbsof a ma
jestic white oak a neat stand had been
erected. On the platform was an or
gan and quite a number of Sunday
school scholars. Soon we were treat
ed to some excellent music, just such
as Shiloh is famous for; after which
L, L. Middlebrook was introduced as
one of the speakers of the day. He
talked in favor of the Sunday schools
and farming—advised the people to
purchase land, erect residences, beau
tify and improve them, and then our
country would truly blossom as the
rose, success would crown the efforts
of industry and prosperity would be
abroad in the land. After the speech
came music, and then dinner was an
nounced. We repaired to the table
where a bountiful repast had been
spread and where everything good to
eat could lie found. The best oi hu
mor prevailed and every one appeared
to ho in a happy mood. Long may
these good people continue in the way
of peace and plenty.
Alter dinner we were favored with
a speech from Col. J. G. Lester. The
Colonel was at bis best and made a
fine speech, which was practical, logi
cal and convincing, being well receiv
ed ami highly complimented by the
large audience present,
Dr, 11. V. Hardwick was called for
and made and made an excellent talk
to the farmers —the Doctor contended
tiiat nothing of recent years had made
so rapid progresses fanning. Col. F
M. Holder did not speak, but he told
me privately, lie thought the ladies
had made more progress —for, thirty
years ago the dinner we had on the
table would have been cooked and
served by servants, lint now our wo
men do their their own work, in a '
great measure —but he could not say ;
altogether as mlicit for the men.

QUESTIONS i’OU THOUGHT
FUL WORKINGMEN,
What have the saloon keepers ever
done to Improve the conditions of the
working classes ?
Have you more oomfortablo homes
through supporting the drink sellers! 1
Have you fewer jailers Blul magis
trates through supporting the saloon
kee|M-rs?
Are your taxes le.-s because drink
sellers are kept busy ?
Is bread cheaper beeimse nearly 40
millions of bushels of grain go to the
nmlster instead of the miller?
Is trade improved because money
is spent nt saloons instead of in food,
clothes and furniture ?
Are the articles manufactured by '
brewers and distillers worth the mon
ey that is paid for them ?
If drink Belters had to keep all the
paupers, lunatics and criminals they
make, how many of them would be
able to keep out of bankruptcy ?
Is the health of these drinkers of
intoxicants better than that of peo
ple who don’t drink ?
Are the neighborhoods most orderly
and prosperous where the saloons are
the most numerous ?
Would your sons and daughters lie
improved if they were trained up be
hind saloon bars?
Don’t saloon keepers generally vote
for those candiduies who promise to
protect their trade, regardless of every
other trade?
Gould any class be bettor spared
than the liquor sellers?
If one law authorizes bishops and
clergy,to preach the sanctity of the
Sabbath, is it right that another law
should authorize malstcrs and drink
.-ellers to violate the Sabbath ?
If a church were composed of only
malstcjs, brewers, distillers, saloon
keepers and their assistants, what in
fluence would it exert on the drunk
enness of the country ?
It is a cruel thing to send a boy
out into the world untaught that al
cohol in any form is fire, and willcer
tuinly burn him if he puts it into his
stomach. It is a cruel thing to edu
cate a boy in such a way that he has
no adequate idea of the dangers that
beset his path. It is a mean thing to
send a boy out to take a place in so
ciety without understanding the rela
tion of temperance to his own safety
and prosperity and that of society.—
The national wealth goes into the
ground. If we could only manage to
bury it without having it pass thith
erward in the form of a poisonous
liquid through the inflamed bodies of
our neighbors and friends, happy
should we lie. The more thoroughly
we can instruct the young concerning
this dominating evil, the better it will
lie for them and for the world. —J. G

SUPPLY COTTON BAGGING.
in the hurry to place orders for cotton
bagging, farmers and merchants have ask
ed the delivery for the entire season to be
made in August and September. This will
not give the mills any work for October and
November. The mills cannot, of course,
meet so great a demand in such limited
time.
I am just in receipt of a communication
from the mills asking that they lie authori
zed by purchasers to divide out the amount
already in hand. Additional orders can
be filled for the early mouths if the mills
are authorized to carry over a part of their
orders on hand to the later months.
I beg that parties who have sent iu orders
will accommodate this request of the man
ufacturers, so that all farmers may have an
equal chance to obtain cotton bagging for
the early months. Wm. J. Northern,
