FINE CIWP PROSPECTS.
It is certainly very gratifying to ev¬
eryone to behold the fine prospects we
have in this county for good crops of ev¬
ery kind. The rains, so far this season,
have been exceptionally fine for all
field crops, and the result is the corn
And cottor. crops in this section .are as
fine as the lands will produce. If no
unforeseen calamity befalls them, these
crops will be the largest 2 nJ best made
in Newton county for many years.
The present outlook for a good basi¬
ng (his fall has never been more flat¬
tering at this season, and if the rains
continue for the next few weeks, as they
have in the past, we can see no good rea¬
son why our highest hopes in this par¬
ticular may not be fully realised.
A full and abundant crop in this sec¬
tion is gieatly needed, and we trust the
highest hopes of our people may te ful¬
ly realised in the present growing crops.

A Hjrrible Inheritance.

but it can bo certainly mitigated and

in tho remedy known all over tho
world as Swift's Specific—common¬
ly called S S S.

HAPPY CONTRACTORS.
The Old Debt of the Covington and
Macon Railroad Settled.
Athens Banner-Waictimaa.
Late Wednesday evoning a re¬
porter of tie Banner-Watchman
snied a crowd standing on the steps
of Barrow & Thomas’ office, and -no~
ticinjra broad happy smile encircling
the faces of Tom Hampton and Capt.
Bradoen, we inquired what caused
so much happiness. Col. Machen
being ia the party, said : “I have
just lifted the last old debt hanging
over the Covington and Macon road,
and it has Certainly lifted a load
from my shoulders. Tbcf-o debts
were contracted by Post and Inger
soll, and were due by them to the
contractors. When I look charge
of the road these gentlemen owed
$330,000. I entered into no written
obligation with the contractors to
pay the debt only gave them my
word that the last dollar of it would
be paid \v : th interest and only a few
minutes ago I gave thorn 810,000 for
the balance of their debt.”
The reporter remarked that this
was the biggest debt he ever heard
of being paid with only one man’s
word for it that it would bo paid.
Yes, said the Colonel as his eyes
sparkled with pleasuro, 1 have kept
my word to these mon although it
has cost mo many a sleepless night.
Bid any of tho contractors fall out
with you on account of not paying
them sooner ?
I: they did 1 have never hoard of
it, and the best evidenco L have of
tL t h r: J feeling and friendship is
that the last one of tho contractors
that worked fer Tost & Ingersoll
rave been with me to tho finish and
re bare got to he a kind of happy
family.
Haven’t you got more work for us
when th"; s finished? asked Thomas
Hampton, we want to say to you.
au:d Coi Maeben, I can’t say just
ni v >u , w keep a lookout, aud be
oro long there might be some
motion to develop.
Col Machen certainly deserves
more for credit bis than it is possible to
give promptness it settling
tip these old debts. Think ol one
man undertaking to pay 8330,000 of
a debt not contracted by him and
with no obligation, only the word of
an honest man. it was certainly a
stupendous undertaking. The pay'
ingoff of those old debts has reliev'
cd a great many parties who have
been months. depending Col. SJaehen on it will for several
remain
in our city for a few days. H< is a
plain affable gentleman and ea^y ol
approach. lie is strictly business
anil makes every man fuel easy who
meets Lira.
A pun of sliced raw onions,

THE WORLD’S WONDER.
Now at 7 1-2 North Broad street, Atlanta, Ga., is the owner
of a double acting automatic Force Pump, which works with
compressed air, and will bring water from the bottom of a well
ioo feet deep, and throw it 50 to 75 feet. It will force water
through half a mile of piping. The filass works and the nov¬
elty iron works have these pumps for their protection against
fire, and for other conveniences. It is cheap, durable, and la¬
bor saving. No one should be without them. Good men,
with little capital, can get an agency to sell them, with big pay,
to the right man. See the patentee of the combined fire and
water proof cement roof paint lor terms.
