those terrible diseases. lie was in
the 48th year of his life and leaves a
wife and several children, with whom
his many friends sincerely sympa
thise in their sad affliction. His hav

benefit of two thousand dollars. The
remains were followed to Oak Grove

Build Up Your Town.
The way to build up a town is to
believe in it—become inspired with
a faith that there is a future for it;
and then for every citizen to lend a
helping hand in making it what it
ought to be. This, in brief, is local
public pride—it is a local public spirit
which does not hesitate to make a
present sacrifice in tho faith that it
will make the town in which we live
in some way better in the future. It
takes shape in a determination to
patronize our home merchants and
mechanics.
MAMMOTH ESTABLISHMENT.

Crop Prospects—Flag Smith and His
Social Rights Fanaticism, Etc.
ANDERSONVILLE, Ga., Allg. 23.
Editor Republican: Once again we
are made glad and hopeful by the ap
pearance of copious and refreshing
rainfalls. ’Till yesterday we of this
section were almost without hope as
far as the prospect for gathering any
thing like a full cotton crop was con
cerned. Indeed the protracted drouth,
which has been general, was unprece
dented in its severity in this immedi
ate vicinity. Everything has sorely
suffered since its advent. Yet now
we are not without a living hope that
all will end well. If the seasons con
tinue it is not too late to make quite
a crop of late cotton. I am aware
that almost every one will declare
that this is altogether impossible, and
that no more cotton will be made.
The truth is, the whole matter de
pends entirely upon contingencies.
If frost makes its appearance late in
the fall, and the worm proves not so
disastrous as many fear they will, the
present crop will be much better than
the public are now willing to believe.
I am sure that I have never seen corn
better. Of course no one will deny
that there is time enough for pota
toes, peas, sugar-cane and turnips.
Upon the whole, the outlook is not
by any means gloomy.
The day of days to the “colored
brother” has come and gone, and the
expectant “sister of previous condi
tion" dreams sweetly of the glorious
future. The dear little Hug man from
Ohio has been here and performed his
labor of love. Dinah rests from her
toils, and is confidently looking “in
ward” and joyfully preparing for the
comforts of her coming social rights.
Tho credulous negro, it seems, will
never learn to distrust such fanatical
humbugs.
Rumor whispers that our town is to
be sued without delay for damages.
Ten thousand dollars! Hold! Thad
eus, call it a million and take War
saw. We prefer a quick death to slow
torture. Whisky, the relentless de
stroyer of the peace and prosperity of
most villages, is the chief demon in
the affair. By request, our talented
and watchful representative, Major
Wilson, has introduced a bill prohib
iting the sale of liquor here, and we
hope to be soon rid of the hurtful
nuisance. \y.
If you want a first class steam en
gine for ginning and threshing, call
on Harrold, Johnson & Cos., and ex
amine their large stock of “Eclipse
engines” at their engine yard, Cotton
Avenue. Engines on hand ready for
use. Avoid delay.
Fruit Growers and Dryers Take No
tice.
We have made ample and satisfac
tory arrangements to handle the pres
ent dried fruit crop of this section.
Our thirteen years’ experience in the
business have given us “the inside
track” thereof. We can afford and
will pay Now York quotations, less
freight and commission. We are
thoroughly posted, receiving daily
quotations. We will give those calling
on us, full prices, full weights and full
satisfaction, and give you useful in
formation concerning the drying and
saving of your fruit. Parties from a
distance we will give information and
quotations by mail if requested.
