May the clinic est of Heaven’s blessings rest upon you, and may our common Father grant you many successive years of peace, prosperity and happiness. May your last days bt; your best, and as the sun of your natural existence pales may .the sun of righteousness illuminate the pathway of your de dining years ; aud life’s last parting loved o’er, grant you and all your ones, a happy re union in Jesus alone the Golden, for Christ’s sake, Amen. Hon. John D. Stewart, our imme representative in Congress, gave interesting talk in Covington last Friday. He lingered long and !ov -. ingly on the tariff, the silver hill aud other national questions. He was very anxious to secure some ben eficial legislation for the agricultural interests of the country, but could not go the “sub-treasury He met with a cordial welcome here and will probably come to see us of¬ ten before the sun goes down on elec¬ tion day next November. One thing certain, there is going to be a lively iuterest taken in the congressional election in this district, and Judge Stewart will be given a few doses of the home-stead-on-the-office medicine from the same spoon that he so effec¬ tually administered it to Hon. N. J. Hammond some four years ago. The Rockdale county alliance met n Conyers Saturday and indorsed W. J. Northen for governor; Col. ingston for congress, and J. E. nally, of Walton, for state senator, Col. Livingston made a speech an nouncing himself a candidate for con gross against Judge Stewart. Col. Peek announced himself out . of the ^ race and m favor of Livingston and Northen. The alliance meeting was well attended. Their action uiiauimous.

Peek having gracefully retired in fa¬ vor of Col. Livingston, and will do all in his power to secure his nomina¬ tion and election. At a conference of leading Alliance men in Atlanta, a few days since, ail the misunderstanding and differences existing between some of the members who had been pressed for office were satisfactorily settled. Hon. Wm. J. Northen plants himself squarely on the Alliance platform, and thus brings to his support an almost solid Alii ance vote. He is a Democrat, tried and true, and as such will ask for the nomination at the hands of the great Democratic party in convention as¬ sembled, which when secured, means election sure and certain. With Col Northen to champion the principles aud plans so long advocated by the Alliance through Col. Liviugston, it was entirely unnecessary for the latter to antagonize the former in the Gu¬ bernatorial contest, although had he done so we are confident he would have been the next Governor, or been in position to name the man. a pressure was being brought to bear a P 0U C,)L L "’ ln 1 st011 *<> make race fo.

The troubled waters are calm ’ s ° lar as concerns the race tor Governor, but not so in the contest for Congress, for in this the deck has been cleared and everything will soon be ready for action. The issues will be clear cut alK i we ]l defined, and with Stewart and Livingston as candidates the cam a jg n w jll be interesting if not exci ting.

In eloquent, ringing language he beseeehed his brethren to support only true men for office. In conclu¬ sion he said: “I thank you, my friends, whether of one county or another, whether of one Alliance or another, for your many kind expres¬ sions and proffers of support, touch¬ ing gubernatorial honors. I can not close without thanking the many citi zens of Georgia outside of our order who have so cheerfully and volunta ** event I should have presented my name before the democratic primaries for governor of Georgia. To those who have abused me and spoken evil of the order or its purposes and plans, I commend to your better judgment and consideration, the golden rule, Do to us as you would have us do to you,” were you in our coudition and we in yours.” Here and Tiiere Come to town Saturday and hear Col.

Friend Jeff was getting along nicely when Mr. Stewart left. One day last week a trusty convict shot Mr. Whitfield Flemister with a shot gun, putting quite a [unmber of squirrel shot in his body, but not se¬ riously injuring him. We learn that several other of his convicts escaped the same day. Bitter things may be said between now and November. If you are un It would during lie best the could we have period, a qui¬ et time election but unfortunately this will not lie, so let us not get so much enthusiasm on hand that it will make us believe that every man who differs with us is a carry a little of their religion with them during the campaign and proba bly there will not lie so much abuse and vilification this time as is usually the case. Suppose some of us try it? NO. 35. FRO.M BREWER'S DISTRICT. Four convicts escaped from Flemis ter’s camp Friday. Watch your hen roost and smoke house. Mr. L. H.
