Atlanta’B Opportunity.
In a few days Atlanta will vote
on the question of prohibition.—
The contest seems to be one of un
usual warmth. There are business
men who seem to think the materi
al interests of the country, and es
pecially of Atlanta, are promoted
by sending half a million or so
of dollars out of the State every
year for liquors, to giatify the
taste and craze the brain. Others,
and doubtless they comprise a ma
jority of the thinking people of
Atlanta, believe this money will
do more good if kept in the chan
nels of legitimate trade and industrl
al enterprises that produce wealth,
give employment to labor and at
tract population by promoting the
material interests of all. This is
the dollar and cent view, and the
argument is clearly with the pro
hibitionists. As to the moral view,
it is on their part a struggle in the
interest of humanity.
Just now Europe is in a ferment
over a war between Servia and
Bulgaria. Milan, king of Ser
via, has led an army of about
60,000 men of all arms, across the
frontier, captured the Bulgarian
outposts, beat the Bulgarians in
every skirmish and battle, until the
18th, when his forces met with a
reverse at Slivenitza, with a report
ed loss of 300 killed and wounded,
10 guns and 356 horses. AppreJ
hensions are felt that the Leading
powers will become involved and
a marked decline in the value of
securities has resulted.
Beil, the half breed Canadian
insurrectionist, was duly hung on
Monday. He was a man of great
in fluence with his people and had
many powerful friends who sought
to have his sentence commuted to
imprisonment for life. But the
government, perhaps wisely, de
cided that it would be better for
the peace and prosperity of his
people to remove him.
We see in the Athens Post a no*
tice in large type calling for pay
ment of the corporation Tax. —
Down here they write such notices
on foolscap and paste ’em on the
Court house.
A Model Farm.
In the 6th District, near Villa
Rica, there is a cosy little home
that deserves the title given this
article. It is known throughout
the county as the “Widow Green
place” About 20 years ago Mrs.
Green’s husband died leaving her
with a large family of little chil
dren too young to help her much.
Most women would have dis
paired and accepted the aid of
fe»rod bj kind neighbors but fihe
did neither. She went to work
and made every body around her
work. She saved, pushed, man
aged, gave intelligent direction to
all labor employed about her. She
early adopted the rule of buying
nothing from a horse to nn axe
handle that could be raised or
made at home, and has adhered to
that rule ever since. It is the
great secret of successful farming
in the South. It was the writer’s
good fortune to day on this
farm last week and he wants the
farmers of Carroll to know what a
woman can do in 20 years on a
Carroll farm.
Instead of the log cabin left her
then she lives in a handsome frame
dwelling furnished with all the
modern conveniences, and surroun
ded by a large yard that is itself as
neat as a parlor.
Hundreds of chickens are scat
tered about the place; lordly tur
kies strut around, ready for the
Christmas holidays; a large pen
was filled with fat hogs that would
now average nearly 200 lbs each
and yet were only put up the day
before and so far, have cost nearly
’ nothing; in a corner of the barn
yard is a huge barn its lower floor
honneycombed with stalls and the
upper one filled with feed and
looking more liko a livery stable
than a country barn. Fine young
colts were racing each other; sleek,
well fed cattle were quietly gath
ering as the evening shades came
on, looking as though they would
nover need any of the corn that
was stacked to the shingles of an
immense crib. Within a stone’s
throw is her gin house, thresh and
evaporator; good houses wherein
are sheltered the buggy, cairiage
and all farming tools. While back
of the dwelling stretches away
300 acres of land, all tbe cleared
portion in the highest state of cul
tivation. No complaint there of
hard times. All years are good,
al! crops bountiful. Every where
smiling peace, plenty and happi*
ness. It looks like living when
you go there and they do live like*
kings. The sons raise the food, the
daughters cook it and it is needless
to say that it is well done. They
entertain a great deal of company
and their fare blends the purity
and sweetness of home victuals
with the varity of a hotel. But
this noble woman has done more
than live well’
She does not.owe a dollar, has
money at interest, has raised all
those children, taught them how
to work, given them a good edu
cation and sent them into the
world honored, useful, prosperous
men and women.
One son is still at home and looks
after the farm. The youngest
daughter, just blushing into glo
rious womanhood, is also at homa
and graces alike the cook room and
the parlor, her ra r e.beauty being
equaled only by her varied accom
plishments.
Now contrast such a home as
this, with some seen in this
country. Instead of a weak wid
ow woman, a strong, able bodied
man: instead of owning the land
he rents it; instead of a good house
a log shanty with “stick and dirt”
chimney, board roof and creaky
floor. Instead of picket fence
around the yard, he has the woods;
instead of mighty turkeys, ho has
“mitey” chickens; instead of half a
dozen thoroughbred cows he has
one, and her only fine points are
her back bone and hips; instead of
fat hogs, mangy hound pups; in
stead ot prancing, smooth coated
horses, a little flea bitten poney
matted with cuckle-burrs; instead
of great bursting corn cribs, a rail
pen half fnll of shucks; instead of
a four mule wagon, a one steer
cart. Instead of working, he hunts;
instead of saving,he wastesjinstead
of having provisions to sell all the
year round, he hangs around town
trying to get credit for some;
instead of composting great smok
ing heaps of rich fertilizers, he
gives his merchant an iron clad
note for a bagful of sand;instead of
owing nothing in the fall and hav
ing plenty, he has nothing and
often skips to Sand Mountain to
keep from paying for that.
Compare the two pictures. —
Neither is overdrawn. Does it pay
best to put forth the effort and
live like a prince at home or not
make it and live like a pauper on
the merchant? Carroll farmers are
rapidly answering the question in
the affirmative and we hope the
day will soon come when we will
all keep our smoke houses and
cribs at home instead of Ohio, onr
stock yards in Georgia instead of
Kentucky. * * *

Washington Letter.
Washington D. C., Nov. 16, ’BS.
To the Editor of the Times.
As predicted in these letters
some time since the changes in the
offices have been more numerous
this month than in any other one
month since the change of Admin
istration. There are but very few
old and familiar faces in the hi<rh
positions in the Treasury Depart
ment. The weeding-out process is
still going on, and now the changes
are being made in the lower grades.
The changes are sow, looked at
through daily glasses, but when
summed up at the end of the month
a respectable showing is made. It
is expected that the number will
be greater still after the first Mon
day in December, when Congress
meets. There are many palpitat
ing hearts in manly and womanly
breasts, and the month of Decem
ber is dreaded.
The President is busily engaged
in writing his message, and thinks
that one of the best things he has
done since in offiee was is
suing the oider cutting oft office
seekers from interviews. He now
finds time to go over the reports
of his Cabinet officers and to write
on his message. In the message
he will discuss the silver question
very thoroughly and set forth
strong reasons why the Bland sil
ver bill should be repealed.
The tariff question will enter
argely into the reorganization, of
tbe new House, and is already be
ing animatedly discussed by mpm*.
bers in the city. Randall is deter,
mined to make a stubborn fight
against depriving the Appropria
tion Committee of any of the pow
era it has heretofore enjoyed, and
le will be supported by many of
the Republicans. The fight this
year will be over the formation
and powers of the Committee in
stead of directly on the Speaker
ship.
The telephone pgntroversy ha*,
consumed most of the time of Sec*
rctary Lamar this week, Humor
ous affidavits have been read tend*
ing to show that Professor Picker
ing of Harvard and Professor
Vanderweyed invented in 1868
and 1869 instruments for transmit
ting sound by electricity, thus an
tedating Bell’s invention. Euecci,
the Italian who claims to have in.
vented the telephone as early as
1849, is present, and takes an
active part in the controversy.—
The Secretary has his hands full
and will neve? be caught in a like
fix again. He is a hard worker
and rever shirks, but has enough
business in the regular routine of
his Department to occupy the
whole of his time without having
cases referred from other Depart
ments for his action howover com
plimentary it may be.
Professor Wiley, Chemist of
Agricultural Bureau, has gone to
Europe to esamine machinery there
in use for the manufacture of sorg
hum sugar. Since Editor Coleman
has been Commissioner of Agicult
ure new life and interest has been
given to the production of sugar
from sorghum. His predecessor,
Dr. Loring, had no faith in the suc
cessful production of sugar from
that cane, and discouraged experi
ments and investigations in that
interest to £he full extent of his
power.
Tire Guiteau case is once more
before the courts of the District of
Columbia—this time in the nature
a libel suit by Rev. Dr. Hicks
against the Evening Star newspa
per. The Rev. Doctor was Guit.
eau’s spiritual adviser, and was
charged by the Star with offering
for sale the assassin’s bones, which
were bequeathed to him. Hicks
has been living on his orange grove
in Florida for the past year,and got
here Thursday in time for the
trial. It is a singular coincidence
that the judge who presided in the
Guiteau trial also presided in this
civil trial arising out of tbe same
case. The jury rendered a verdict
for one cent damages.
Oil From Nature’s Well.
The skin on the head is kept
soft and flexible by a secretion
from the oil glands. When these
are clogged the hair dries and falls
off. Parker’s Hair Balsam renews
their action, iestores the original
color to the hair and makes it soft
and glossy. It also eradicates dan
druff. Not greasy, not a dye, de*
liciously perfumed. Delightful for
a lady’s toilet table. The best of
dressings. Preferable to all simi
lar articles because of its superior
cleanliness and purity.
