mt iFomf aiihus. 'y- ROB’T S. HOWARD, Editor. JEFFERSON, FKIUAY JEIHCItB.TO, Nov’ber. 5, 18N9. All of the Georgia Congressional Districts wont Democratic. Our opinion is that Ex Gov. Brown is the choice of Jackson county for Senator. President Hays has set apart the 25th day of November as the National Thanksgiving Day. It is estimated that it costs from forty to fifty million dollars to pick the American cotton crop. A terrific gale visited the coast of England last Saturday, attended by great destruction of property and loss of lives. A writer in the North Georgian suggests the name of the lion. A. T. Bennett for the Senate from this District in the next election. It is to be Imped that Georgia will retain the flag which goes to the State giving the Democratic candidate the largest majority. In the last Presidential election the vote exceede 1 eight millions. It is thought that in the present election it will exceed nine millions. Hancock’s defeat comes unheralded by any doubts upon our part. We thought it was a dead certainty. This comes from seeing only one side of a question. The oil wells of Pennsylvania are supply ing more oil than can be stored ; the surplus is turned loose upon the ground. While the production exceeds the demand, the price is continually rising. What is the matter? The Coolie companies of the Pacific coast, who control the importation of Chinese laborers to this country, subscribed large sums to the Republican campaign fund. They know that if Garfield is elected the} 7 can still import cheap labor into the country. The Athens Banner is in favor of sending Gen. A. R. Lawton, of Savannah. totheUrfi ted States Senate from Georgia, in the place of (Jen. Gordon. It says that, notwithstand ing it is thought that Colquitt’s elect ton was an endorsement for Ex-Gov. Brown, it would be an act of magnanimity to elect General Lawton. We have noticed that during the last two weeks of the campaign both the Speer and Bell partisans have been circulating circulars and handbills in regard to each other. The matter contained in some of them iias been abusive in the extreme. This mole of political warfare should be frowned down ’ty all true men. It makes no voters, and we have heard lots of good men on both sides .regret the circulation of such literature. NO SEAT FOR liAFiCGCK. The latest and most reliable news tells n <*rf Democratic defeat that would dis heartoß &he bravest and most resolute. Had ft been .a close boat we would have been more content, but as it is there is nothing ieft upon which the Democratic party could iUaug a bit of consolation. Even Now York 2tas given Garfield a handsome majority, and it is said that aII of the Northern States have given him a majority, and what is worse the South is ro more solid, for it is reported that L'doci la is Republican. This wholesale de r eat artr-a have been expected, or if not what has can c e 1 onr leaders to be so much mistaken? We have been led to believe that Hancock was sure to be elected. We have been most woefully deceived. What has caused it, and who has caused it, are the questions that a disappointed party asks. It is defeat every time ; one whipping after another right straight along, and nobody learns any experience, if they do it benefits but little. There are two propositions, one of which the Democratic party must accept, viz : Tim principles of the party are wrong, and if this is true we do not deserve success and should abandon them and get on a solid founda tion. The second is, if our principles are right, we cannot make the voters of the Uni ted States agree with them, or vote for them. It is our opinion that the second prnposi ton embodies the trouble. The reaso g ,vhy we are unsuccessful are numerous, and it look as if we never will overcome them. Ti e Republican party has got the go on us, and they use it to their advantage every time. Everything conspires to help them; no kind of fortune seems to hurt them or their party. For instance, it did no good to prove that Garfield was a liar and an acceptor of a bribe. They stole the Presidency from Til den. It was thought that tills would damn the party, but, on the contrary, a majority of the citizens of the United States, ou last Tuesday, endorsed the transaction. Taking also into consideration the poten tial fact that the}’ control the governmental purse-stringy and the wealth of the country, and we see tne job undertaken by the Dem ocrats is an up-hill business. It is useless for us to hope for success as long as wc labor under all of the disadvantages we did in the last race. Something must be done to put the two parties on a fair footing. When that is done we are willing to a defeat if it comes to our part. But we are beaten this time. There will not even be any use for a commis sion to decide the matter. There will be no use for Hancock to take his seat- by force, for there is none for him to tkae. The Voltaic Belt Cos., Marshall, Kich. Will send their celebrated Electro-Voltaic Belts to the afflicted upon 30 days trial. Speedy cures guaranteed. They mean wha 1 } they say. Write to them without delay. John Robinson tviverlise* a s;tle of circus stock, consisting of horses, mules, brood mares, ponies, etc.,, at Dalton on the Ctli of November. It is said that the State Road authorities will dispute the right of the Selma, Rome and Dalton Railroad to cross its tracks at Dalton. If the movement is a success the road will be forced to make Dalton its ter minus again. A white man in jail at Morgan, Calhoun county, attempted to burn our last Friday night, but when the smoke began to stifle him he called for help, and was rescued in time to prevent his being smothered. lie was in for stealing a mule. The Rome Tribune complains that every once in a while wagons and agricultural im plement arc brought in largo numbers to that city from the North. It informs its readers that there is an abundance of timber and iron in that section from which all such arti cles might well be made. The Dalton Citizen say : “There is a hole in Penitentiary Cove, in Fannin county, from which there constantly issues a volume of wind and smoke. Its depths has never been fathomed. Large rocks have been thrown into it, but no sound of their striking the bot tom has ever reached the ears of the listener.” The LaGrange Reporter , under the head ing, “ Good Farming,” says that three boys of Mr. J. F. Jones, of Hogansvillc, Wiilie Hugh and Gordon, aged respectively four teen, eleven and nine \’ears, cultivated twen ty-five acres of land this year, on which they raised 30 bales of cotton, average 500 pounds ; 100 bushels corn; 30 bushels rice: I.GOO pounds fodder; 3,200 pounds hay ; 200 bush els potatoes ; 6 fine beeves and 9 line hogs. On ten acres they raised 99 bushels wheat, and on eight acres 4,000 bushels oats. Only sll were paid for extra work. Augusta News: “Between ten and eleven o’clock Sunday morning Mrs. Holliman, of Thomson, attempted suicide by drowning in a well. It seems that for some time past, in consequence of ill health, she has made threats of self-destruction, and has made several attempts in this direction. At the hour mentioned Sunday she wenttoan adjoin ing lot, from whence the people had all gone to church, and let herself down with the bucket and cope. She was soon missed and an alarm was raised. The Marshal efthe city hearing a woman’s voice proceeded to the spot and discovered the poor woman at the bottom holding on to the rope. With some assistance lie succeeded in drawing her up, but she was nearly dead with cold. It seems that after taking a plunge the action of the water re stored her to reason, when she raised the outcry for help. At last accounts she was in a precarious condition.” The Montezuma Weekly reports a terrible tragedy, which lias come to its knowledge as follows : “ Mr. G. F. Bell, our county Sheriff, informs us of a terrible mistake made by a clerk in the store of 51 r. S. Iv. Johnson, at Grangerville, in this county, a few days since. Li ke nearly all of the country stores in this section, Mr. Johnson keeps for sale such drugs as quinine, morphine, etc. Mr. Cook, who live3 in the neighborhood of Grangerville, had two small children that were sick with chills and fever. She sent to the store forasmall bottle of quinine. The clerk, by mistake, sent a bottle of morphine. Mrs. Cook measured out the usual dose, of what she took to be quinine, and gave it to the children. She soon discovered that the medicine was having an alarming e fleet. The family physician was sent for immediately, but when he arrived his services were not needed, as the children were beyond the aid of human hands. The mother had not dis covered tliG fatal error until informed by the physician.” A citizen of Greenville who returned from Atlanta on Friday night tells a good joke on Atlanta. lie states that on Friday morning a letter was received by the Governor, ac companied with an old silver watch valued at about three dollars, the letter purporting to be from one of the gang of pick-pockets which infested that city during the fair. The writer stated in substance that they had met with the most encouraging success, capturing so may watches that they had no use for the one accompanying the note, and had decided to present it to the Governor as a memento of the admirable police regulations of the Gate City by which the}' had been enabled to ply their avocation withoutdangerof arrest. The writer expressed thanks for the kind and courteous manner in which they had been received by the people of Atlanta, and desired that* when the next fair occurred they be re ceived with the same courtesy, and assuring His Excellency they would be represented by larger numbers of their class as an acknowlegd ment of the generous hospitality extended to them.” Death of Mr. James S. England. This gentleman, so well known to our readers, and who has been a resident of this county for several years past, was stricken with paralysis last Tuesday week and died soon thereafter, lie was, at the time of his death, living at Dowdy, in Madison county. His remains were carried to Athens, where he was buried. The Athens Banner makes the following comments: “ Trie deceased was well and favorably known to the people of Athens. For about forty years he was in business here. He was a Methodist class leader, a zealous Christian, and a man universally esteemed. Ilis re mains are expected to arrive in Athens at two o’clock to-day.” An Editor’s Escape. Ofeice of the “ Industrial Eiia.” } Aluia, lowa, May 2G. 18S0. To Whom it may Concern : I take great pleasure in making the follow ing statement: I have been afflicted with a disease of the kidneys for the past two years, and have tried numerous remedies with only partial and temporary relief. Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure was recommended to me, and after taking it the pain and distress left me, and I am to-day feeling strong and well. lam perfectly satisfied that Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure is the medicine needed, and can cheerfully recommend it to others. G. W. Stamm. Mrs. J. B. Wilson, Tiffin, Ohio, says : 1 have worn an Improved Excelsior Kidney Pad. and received more relief than from all. remedies I have ever tried. I cheerfully re commend it to all sufferers.— See Adv. How Watches are Rlade- It will be apparent to any one, who will examine a SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside from the necessary thickness for en graving and poli-hing, a large proportion of the precious metal used, is needed only to stiffen and hold the engraved portions in iilr.ee, and supply the necessary solidity and strength. The surplus gold is actually need toss so far as utility and bcautv are con cerned. IN JAMES BOSS’ “ PATENT GOLD WATCH CASES, this waste of pre cious metal is overcome, and the same so ltdity and STRENGTH produced at from one third to one-half of the usual cost of solid cases. This process is of the most simple nature, as follows : a plate of nickle compo sition metal, especially adapted to the pur pose, has two plates of solid gold soldered one on each side. The three are then passed between polished steel rollers, and the re sult is a strip of heavy plated composition, from which the cases, backs, centres, bevels, &c., are cut and shaped by suitable dies and formers. The gold in these cases is sulfi ciently thick to admit; of all kinds of chasing, engraving and enamelling; the engraved cases have been carried until worn perfectly smooth by time and use without removing the gold. THIS IS TIIE ONLY CASE MADE WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL CER TIFICATE. For sale by all Jewelers. Ask for Illus trated Catalogues, and to see warrant. Rot a Beverage. “ They are not a beverage, but a medicine, with curative properties of tho highest dc gree, containing no poor whisky or poison ous drugs. They do not tear down an already debilitated system, but build it up. One bottle contains more hops, that is, more real hop strength, than a barrel of ordinary beer. Every druggist in Rochester .sells them, and the physicians prescribe them.” —Evening Express on Hop Bitters. A Musical Ten-cent-tial.
