not yet dillinitely settled
days for carrying the mail will proba¬
bly be Mondays, Wednesdays and
of Fridays. This will give a large, section
our countv and part of Wilkes im¬
proved mail facilities.
Many Fine Horses.
There has been a regular horse show
going on here this week, there being
six or eight fine stallions on exhibition
most of t lie time. And the best of it
is these horses are beinir well patron¬
ized. Oglethorpe county seems to be
in a fair way to not only raise all the
horses for her own needs but some to
supply other less enterprising and
thrifty sections.

The Presiding Judge.
circuit, Judge Smith, of the Southwestern
who has been presiding in
place of Judge McWhorter this week,
has made quiie a favorable impression
upon our people. He has the latter
day way of carrying on the business of
the court with system and despatch,
makes his decisons clearly and quickly
and they are not to be questioned.
He is an able presiding officer.
----.
Back to This County.
Uncle Dave Pittard, of Woodstock
section, has been an attendant upon
court this week, he having again be¬
come a citizen of the county after
having lived in Wilkes for several
years. He is heartily welcomed back.
There is but one thing upon which
Uncle Dave is noncommittal—that’s
his age. At any rate he is the oldest
man in experience to his age within
our acquaintance.

Commissioner Nesbitt to Speak.
During the first of the week a notice
received from Commissioner of Agri¬
culture R. T. Nesbitt that he would
speak here yesterday, the 19th, but
owing to other engagements he defer
ed the appointment until to-day (Fri¬
day). He will address the people up¬
on the uses of fertilizers and will
doubtless have much to say that will
be valuable information to farmers
and the public generally.
Col. J. P. Shannon.
The above well known citizen and
able lawyer from Elbert county has
been here this week mingling with his
many friends. In case Judge Alc¬
Whorter decides to vacate the bench
and offer for Congress Air. Shannon
will doubtless be a candidate for the
judgeship of this circuit. His election
would be gratifying to the people of
this county where he is so well known
and universally liked.

parties were at once taken in custody
by the Sheriff, and will be held until
trial. Their friends are disappointed
that these young men should again be
in trouble and it is hoped they may be
able to establish their innocence.
-------——
Progress of the Court.
Owing to the large number of old
tedious cases which had accumulated
upon the dockets owing to the disquali¬
fication of Judge AlcWhorter has to try
them the progress of the court not
been very speedy this week, though
quite a number of these old cases have
been disposed of. The criminal dock¬
et was not reached until yesterday and
will hold the court until Saturday night.
We will give the proceedings in our
next.

Our Next Senator.
Dr. N. G. Long, whom Elberton will
offer this district as a candidate for
State Senator, has been circulating
among the crowds at court this week
and has made an exceedingly favorable
impression upon our people. He is a
most affable gentlemen and at once
impresses those who meet him with
his ability to fill and fitness for the
otlice he aspires to fill. That he will
be our next Senator there isn’t a shad¬
ow of doubt.
A Clear Conscience.
One with such has no fears of courts
or juries and can face the authorities
at all times with such confidence as
will be convincing that all is well be¬
tween them and the laws of the land,
and he can also face his feliowmen and
those with whom he deals with like
assurance—as does Skiff, the jeweler,
who always deals with those in want
of watches, clocks or jewelry, or who
want repairing done, in such a way
that his conscience is always clear.
A Big Bar Present.
There has been the largest visiting
har attending court this week that we
ever remember to have seen here,
it consisted of Bryan Camming, Alor- Au¬
gusta; J. J. Strickland, Tuck, Sylyanus Athens;

SPEAKS.
He Points Out the Evils in the
Policy of Our Government
BUT OFFERS NO REMEDY.
A Large Crowd Hear Him But Very
Line Enthusiasm Awakened. Most
of His Speech Democratic.
The great Tom Watson has been
here, spoke and gone and Oglethorpe
county remains as solidly democratic
as ever.
His coming drew a large crowd to
town Wednesday. Not only was the
county here by a large majority but
other counties sent in big delegations
composed mostly of his followers.
There were fully one thousand people
in his audience, it being safe to say
one-half of whom were negroes. It
being the day upon which they gener¬
ally attend court may have been res¬
ponsible for the presence of so many.
Air. Wat3on arrived the night before
and during the morning held an almost
continuous reception to his admirers
in his room at the Roane house. They
eagerly sought to shake bauds and
have a few words with him.
Promptly when the town clock finish¬
ed striking twelve he mounted the stage
built for him in front of the Bacon of¬
fice on the east side of the square and,
without introduction, began his speech'
of which time and space forbid us
making a report in detail.
All in all there was nothing very ob¬
jectionable to any Democrat in his
speech, except perhaps the holdiug ,ot
the Democratic party as a whole res¬
ponsible for many evils which he
pointed, when they are evils against
which every Southern or Western dem¬
ocrat is as outspoken as he, and for
which the Northern and Eastern wings
of the parly are responsible. Howev¬
er, he did not even* intimate that the
Populists could or would remedy |those
evils, much less attempt to show how
it was going to do so.
He laid great stress upon and was
most heartily cheered upon the recital
of a number of expenditures or ex¬
travagancies of the government, par¬
ticularly the Senate, and left the im¬
pression that these were made during
democratic administration, but close
attentiou to the dates given will show
that the most of those he recited were
during the rule of the Republicans. A
second thought upon the part of his
hearers will remind them that the press
and people of the Democratic party
has been crying out against this ex¬
travagance all the time, and later sta¬
tistics will plainly show that the Dem¬
ocratic party, now that it is in power,
is carrying out its demand for a more
economical administration of the gov¬
ernment,
A good part of his speech was direc¬
ted to the colored people, but he did
not seem to awaken much enthusiasm
in them. There was nothing in what
he said to them calculated to array
them against their white friends. He
counseled uuity of action between the
two races to bring about better laws
and better government, but he did not
make any promise to them that his
party would enact such laws, or at
least did uot intimate what those laws
would be should the Populists get in
power. That his speech what
was not was
expected, even by his followers, was
clearly indicated by the small amount
of applause. It did not work up much
enthusiasm among them. In fact it
came very near being a good Demo¬
cratic speech. Of course he attacked
the Democratic party for not carrying
out its pledges as promptly as it might,
but what Southern Democrat is not
making the same attack. If he had
only added that the failure was charge¬
able to the obstruction being made by
the Eastern and Northern wing of the
party, helped by the Republicans, he
would have received hearty sanction in
every word he uttered by every Demo
ciat who heard him.
He spoke lor one and a half hours
winding up in a strong preroration
urging his party followers to stand
steadfast in the faith and that he
would ever h e found will) them. Even
when he bowed himself off the plat¬
form there wasj'no great amount of
cheeriug. of both
We talked with numbers par¬
ties after the speaking and found no
Democrat who was made any less a
Democrat or any Populist who that, was
made any more a Populist; and
too, in the face of the tact that many
who came to hear him came as disaf¬
fected Democrats open for conversion
to the Populistic faith should Air.
Watson show wherein it offered any
more relief to the country than the
Democratic parly is striving to give.
They remained Democrats. While
Air. Watson pointed out some leaks in
the Democratic ship he did not make
his own party hark appear any more
seaworthy. all who
II is speech was in joyed by
heard it.

day.

as, in May.

remains a mystery.

style and in much more convenient
manner than at the old stand.
—Quite a crowd of our young people
attended the entertainment in Lexing¬
ton last Wednesday nignt and report a
good show and a pleasant time.
—Quite a crowd of our people went
over to hear Hon. T. E. Watson in
Lexington Wednesday, blit the best
imformation we could obtain was no
couverts were made to bis party.
—Prof. T. B. Afoss is selling his
map by private subscription. There
should be one in every home in the
county as it shows the direction and
distance to ail parts iu the county.
—Air. A. Litile has been retained as

Harlem as operator and the otlice here
closes. We regret to lose Air. Davis
but are glad to know that we will keep
our old and efficient agent.
—Air. Pope Stevens and lady of
Carlton, were visiting our people the

we feel like they are some of our peo¬
ple and hope they will make us "fre¬
quent visits.
—The recent failure of the Reeves
Warehouse Co. of Athens, for $1100,000
was a surprise, as Air. Reeves was
thought to he worth a half million dol¬
lars in his own right. None of our
Crawford people were caught so far as
we know. It was rumored that Mrs.
M. C. Stokely was caught, but this we
find out to be a mistake, she having
drawn out what money she had deposi¬
ted with them.
MINISTERS AND DEACONS.
Programme for their Meeting to be
Held Fifth Sabbath in April.
The Ministers and Deacons Alceting
of the Sarepta Association will be held
with Cabin Creek church, Jackson
county on Friday before the fifth
Lords day in Apiil, 1894. Following
in the programme:
SERMON'S.

cure a discharge of Christian duties
from negligent, and delinquent church
members—J. C. Bennett.
lid.—Should church members prac¬
tice dram drinking—II. E. Hardman.
INSPIRATION OF ENTERPRISE.
Dull Times Being Carried off on Shoul¬
ders of Business Activity.
With Spring comes the thought of
New Clothes—New Suits—New Fur¬
nishings—New Hats—then conies the
thought of where to get them—the
best—the most stylish—for the least
money.
This suggests—our store—to every
one who has traded here—to every one
who by personal experience has learn¬
ed to appreciate the underlying princi¬
ple of our store——
Honest Goods—at Honest Prices.
Our store was never so interesting as
now. Employees inside—the mighty
public without—rival each other in
thinking about—in talking of—in pro¬
moting bur business.
Our methods have destroyed
dull seasons. Our idea of a progressive
store is a place where vou can get only
the best refunded at “Popular Prices,” and your
money if you should chance
to desire it.
This is the bottom ground of good
business.
Our trade in Spring Goods abound —
cannot help it. Our magnificent stock
of (jlothin", Furnishings, and hats
proves this. They are certainly unri¬
valled, and as drawing as an art school.
We are capturing the trade of all
who learn our prices and compare.
