The Silver Question.
It seems that neither political par
ty in Congress regards the silver
question as a party measure. Yet
■when the statics of that honorable
body touching this measure is taken,
it appears that one portion of them
are on one side of the question and
one portion on the other side, while
a third portion are straddling the
question and have not as yet public
ly declared on which side they will
fall when the time for final decision
comes.

Broke Jail.
Thursday morning when Mr. King,
our efficient sheriff, reached the Jail
he found that Lewis Dumas, Jim
Fletcher and Peter Leggett the
three colored birds he find previous
ly caged for violation of law, had
abandoned the cage and flown to
parts as yet unknown. The prison
ers were confined in a cell in the up
per story. With implements, sup
posed to be a saw and augor, they
cut a hole through the floor of the
cell, which floor is of heavy sills.
Through this aperture they passed
into the lower apartment opening
into the hall. From the hall by the
aid of leverage power exerted upon
iron bars crossing it, they made
their exit through the transom over
the front door.
The rain fall of the previous night
obscured the evidence of oustide aid,
yet there is no doubt as to the fact
that outsiders furnished the prison
ers with the implements which ena
bled them to make their escape.
For the safe keeping of pflsoTiCfSy
jails should be so constructed as that
they can have no communication
with outsiders save by permission of
proper officers. In their flight these
birds did not stop to tender the
sheriff their thanks for the good
Christmas dinner he had furnished
them.

Not Forgotten.
On Wednesday last wlile partak
ing of our meridian meal, there was
placed before us a large waiter nice
ly veiled. The unveiling of tnc same
discovered the contents to be a quan
tity of three varieties of cake, gotten
up in the very best style of the culi
nary art, surrounding a goblet of
wine manufactured by a Forsyth
lady more than thirty years ago
nestled upon a tiny note, the super
scription of which told it was for us.
Upon unfolding and reading we
found that the delicacies had been
tendered by. and with the compli
ments ot, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. T.
Brown, to whom our hearty thanks
are hereby tendered, with our most
earnest wish for a prosperous and
happy new year to them. Coming
just at the opportune moment when
we were ready to enter upon the
“finishing course" the contents of the
waiter were much enjoyed. May
the labors of Mr. and Mrs Brown
during the new year, to promote
their individual interest and to do
good in the world, be as successful
as were their efforts in getting up
those most elegant cakes.
When burdened with official du
ties, with responding to numerous
legal questions, with piles ot news
papers crowded around us and with
answering the constant demands of
the printer for “more copy." to slip
out and repair to our dining hall
and find that we have been remem
bered and not forgotten when the
distribution of -good things" was
had, affords as at least a modicum
of consolation, leads ns to hope that
the good time for the Editor, who
must be everywhere, hear all that is
saui, see everything that happens,
and write up in glowig style a great
deal that he does not see. will come
after awhile.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.
Last Thursday night at “high
twelve” the pendulum of time swung
from the old into to the new year,
leaving Ihe former to take its place
among the things of the past; on
that night we teil asleep in the old,
and awoke next morning to look out
upon the light of anew year.
The old year’s last sun sank to
rest on a eloudles horizon, sending
its soft rays over the lap of earth
amid perfect serenity as if loth to
bid us all farewell. Now that the
new year is upon us, how many, it
any, are standing idle, recounting
the disappointments.the non-sue
it may be the failures of tho old
year ? If any such there be, we
would remind them that recounting
the depressing bygones, will never
pave the way to success in tho fu
ture. However, getting lessons of
profit out of the events of the past,
we should in the beginning |of this,
the new year, so direct our efforts
and labors as to avoid, if possible,
the adversities of the period gone.
The past will prove a total loss to
those who do not get profit in some
way out of it.
Looking back to the errors wo
may have committed and to the
shortage of income we may* have
had, we should strive in the future
to avoid that which led to these re
sults. Each and every individual,
iu every department of business,
should now in the very beginmg of
the new year map out for himself or
herself such a programme as under
existing circumstances may be possi
ble of execution. If all of us will
do this and will set to work with a
zeal and fixedness of purpose to
completely carry out a well devised
programme we need not comtcm
plate with dread the results of 1886.

JACKSON—ALLEN.
Married on the 13th inst. at the
residence of her grand father, Mr.
Young Allen, in Crawford county,
Mr. Robt. Jackson and Miss Loula
Allen, Rev. S. R. England officiating.
After the marriage ceremony the
bride and groom and personsin atten
dance repaired to Rogers church,
where a most excellent sermon was
preached by Mr. England to a large
congregation of people who are al
ways pleased to hear Sherman, as he
is familiarly called, in this section
where ho formerly lived. After
church services a good portion ot
the people repaired to the residence
of Mrs. Josaphinc Jackson, mother
of the groom, where an excellent and
sumptuous dinner had been prepar
-©4—fofc. the occasion. The many
guests spoke in praise of the many
nice and good things that weighed
so heavily upon tho long table.
And from the time they lingerd
around that festive board, there was
rendered a unanimous verdict that
the dinner was good and that the
partakers thereof were all in good
health. .Everything passed of pleas
antly and all united in many good
wishes for the future happiness and
prosperity of the newly married cou
ple. Z.

Results Summed Up.
A great deal is being said in re
gard to, and much stress is beiug
laid by man}’, upon the fact that the
people are in a bad condition to be
gin operations with the new year
Whether this be true or not, we do
not positively know.
But the data obtained from most
available sources do not prove that
the people of our own state are
much worse off than they were a
3~ear ago. The summing up of the
past year’s data refered to. show that
the general condition is only 4 per
cent below what it was at the close of
1884.
The 30,000,000, bushels of corn
grown in Georgia last year is enough
to supply the state if properly dis
tributed. The meat product shows
no very great diminution. The
same is true of other products. The
low prices obtained for cotton made
the money crop in some instances
a little shorter than the expenditures,
yet this need not discourage a work
ing people, nor cause us to be dis
gruntled nor disposed to grumblo.

WhatS in a Name.
We have often beard it asserted
that there’s nothing in a name, but

in a name :
The public is indebted to Kate
Putnam for a Variation in the ad
vertising business. The story goes
that the actress, five years ago, was
in Helena. Montana, when the own
er of a newly-discovered mine asked
the privilege of naming his mine af
ter her. His request was granted.
The actress heard nothing further
about the matter until she received
as a Christmas present a handsome
ly engraved certificate of three hun
dred shares non-assessable, paid-up
stock in the Katie Putnam Mining
Company. It is said that the mine
has recently developed such wealth
as to make three hundred aliases
worth nearly a quarter of a million.

NOTES FROM BANKSTON
The Bankston debating and far
mer’s society recently debated a
very interesting and important sub
ject, one that directly concerns the
farmer and indirectly all other class
es of people. The Subject discussed
was, “Will the common method of
farming in the cotton states, to-wit,
renting, tenentry and croping sus
tain those engaged in it and tend to
build up and improve the land, im
prove society, socially, morally and
intellectually?”
The champions were Messrs liobt.
Bazemore and Edgar Hardin.
The affirmative was advocated by
Messrs. R. Bazemore, Walter Baze
more, Dr. Murchison and others,
with an essay read by the Clerk and
written by Mrs. T. J. Bazemore.
The negative was represented by
Messrs. Edgar Hardin, T/W. Rankin,
liobt. Stozier, Brad Bazemore, Joe
Rankin and others.
Both sides--
and good speeches made on both"
sides. The essay written by Mrs.
Bazemore was an excellent composi
tion, the points were well taken,
the language and stylo good, and
was highly commended by all who
listened to the same.
If all the ladies of our county
would take and manifest as much
interest in such societies as Mrs. B.
it would tend to do much good.
The judges decision was in favor of
the affirmative.
The next subject for discussion is,
“which is the greater evil the credit
system or the use of spirituous liq
uors,” to be discussed on the second
Saturday evening in january. The
results and effect of this society is
many fold—the most profitable is
the information it is imparting to
all who take an interest, social en
joyment and uniting the people of
the neighborhood as one large fami
ly, all pulling together for each
others interest and happiness. May
it continue to grow in interest until
every body may feel its good and
happy influence. A.
We are glad to see an interest in
farmers clubs springing up in some
sections of our county, and hope
that our people in all sections of the
county will soon be thoroughly
awakened to the vast benefit that is
possible of attainment through this
channel.
The promotion of our agricultural
interest and the methods of attain
ing the same, should be of chief con
cern to, and should demand the con
fetant stud}' of every son of toil.
When our farmers become united
in sentiment, united in purpose and
united in effort to promote their in
dividual and collective interest, then
may we look for profitable results.
And what better method can be re
sorted to, to effect this union, than
well organized societies which will
bring about a mixing and comming
ling of our farmers in an organized
capacity, and a free and easy inter
change of views as to the best
means of reaching certain results,
which must be produced if we would
have prosperity to smile upon us as
a people?
The ogricultural results of the
south and of our own county (which
will bear a favorable comparison) is
enough to cause our farming popu
lation and all other classes to think,
and to think seriously of the demand
that is upon them. That demand
is a greater crop income for less ex
penditure. Can this be attained ?
Our farmers must anrweiv

The largest was at Fleming Accad

In conclusion we would respectfully
say that in buying from us, you run no
risk:
Because, if you pesire, tlie instrument
will be sent you on trial. You can then
see if it as represented, before a dollar is

advantage upon these condition? You
or the Georgia Music House?
Because, we are where you can rech us,
and should we misrepresent an instru

is too valuable to us, not to receive our
careful protection, fos herein is the key
of our success.
Because, a friend made is a customer
gained. We are determined to make
nothing but friends, so any representa
tion made by us you can put down as a
So*id Fact, and govern yourself accord
ingly.
Because, we will pay freight both ways
if the instrument is not as represented,
and if satisfactory we pay freight to your
home—anywhere in the South. Has any
other house made a more liberal offer
than this?
