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. * * * —— Itch, Prairie Mange, and scratches of every kind cured in 30 minutes by Woolford’s S anita ry Lotion.

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.
