SPRING GREETING OF
EDGAR L. ROGERS!
Leader, and Regulator of Low Prices.
My almost Mineulous success in Barnesville fur the past four years has stimulated
, me to even gr*-uti*r exert ions to please the people and merit their patronage for this sea
son. (jimh! (toods. new styles, low prices, and square dealings will he in the future as in
the past, my business motto. Keep an eye on my goods and prices and 1 will never fai
to save you money.
To try to give the people even an idea of my immense spring stock and how cheap I
‘* , '-tn selling goods would require a whole paper, so be silent that ye may hear of just a
‘1 of iny manv^wonders.
DRESS GOODS.
Jn these I have the best selections, the neatest styles, and the biggest variety ever
sho’/n in this market. My Dress Goods stoek embraces everything from the finest Al
batnfm, Kaholine and Hondo cloths down to the cheapest Cashmeres even as low as 6c.
pefr yard and the heuutv of the whole thing is that 1 can give you trimmings and but
to.fis &e. to match them all.
WHITE GOODS.
,M y White Goods stock is truly marvelous- White Lawns 6c. a yard up, Check Muslin’s
7ey per vard up, White. Swis- and Mulls, India Linen, Checked Nainsooks, and in fact
I haive got them all.
\ EMBROIDERERS AND LACES.
11/ere is where 1 can interest you, for I certainly have got them this season, and all
roiiupetition on Hamburg®, especially must stand aside. M y Bc. Edges and insertions are
the'talk of everybody, who has seen them, and the 10c.
truf-v wonderful. 1 have Embroideries and Laces this time from the very cheapest to
the Ihighest grade of all overs and Flouncing®. Come to see them and be paralvzed.
PARASOLS.
Thi\immense Factories of New York and Philadelphia, have done their host for me,
and fix\d me in this line with the very latets novelties from 15c. to 10.00 Don’t buy,
or even Rook at a l’arasol or Umbrella until you have seen mine.
' GENTS FUNISHING GOODS.
My stork <pf dents Furnishing Goods is larger and more complete than I ever dream
ed that 1 eiyuld carry here; but the prices and styles will sell them. My 50c, Laundred
and Unboundried White Shirts are clinchers, and need to be seen to be appreciated. I
am headquarters for line Shirts in plain and plaited bosom, Fine Scarfs and nobby collars
and curfie.
SHOES AND HATS.
iShocs and good honest Shoes, are in mind a great item to the retail dealer. lam agent
fi.ir some of tin- best Factories and am prepared to dt you up in Shoes at low figures and
drive you a guarantee on them, and as for hats I make them a specialty and have some
{treats in store for you in this line.
CLOTHING.
j Clothing has been a life long study with me, and 1 don't believe myself presumptuous
when 1 say that 1 t hink I know the wants of the people in this line. I have the cele
brated Voorheis Miller and Hupei Goods that have a world wide reputation for their
supeiior goods, elegant tits, and handsome make up. My Clothing stoek is now tilled to
overflowing, and I am ready to let them slide at my usual low prices.
I thank my friends and customers for past favors and trust to merit their patronage
oven more liberally in the future. Messrs. J. F. Howard and B. Z. Holmes are with me
uni will always he glad to serve their old friends and customers. Yours to please,

Laughter as a Medicine.
A short time since two individual's
were lying in one room ver} si -k,
one with brain fever and the other
with an aggravated base o f Vie
mumps. They were so low that,
watchers wlro'heede'd every night?”
and it was thought doubtful if the
one sick of lever could ever recover.
A gentleman was engaged to watch
over night, his duty being to wake
the nurse whenever it became neces
sary to administer medicine. In
the course of the night both watcher
and nurse fell asleep. The man with
the mumps was watching the clock,
and saw that it was time to give the
fever patient his portion, lie was
unable to speak a.oud or to move
any portion of his body except his
arms ; but seizing a pillow he man
aged to strike the watcher on the
face with it. Thus suddenly awak
ened, the watcher sprang from his
seat, falling to the floor, and awak
ening both the nurse and fever pa
tient. The incident struck the sick
men as very ludicrous, and they
laughed heartily at it tor some
fifteen or twenty minutes. When
the doctor came in in the morning
he found his patients vastly im
proved ; said he never knew so sud
den a turn for the better, and now
both are up and well. Who says
laughter is not the best of medicines ?

A QUESTION ABOUT
Browns Iron
Bitters
ANSWERED.
The Question h&a probably been asked thousands
of times, yHow can Brown’s Iron Bitters cure every
thing?" Well, it doesn’t. But it does cure any disease
for which a reputable physician would prescribe IEOH
Physicians recognize Iron as the best restorative
agent known to the profession, and inquiry of any
leading chemical firm will substantiate tne assertion
that there are more preparations of iron than of any
other substance osea in medicine This shows con
clusively that iron is acknowledged to be the moet
important factor in successful medical practice. It is,
however, a remarkable fact, that price to the discov
ery of BROWN’S IKON BITTERS no perfect
ly satisfactory iron combination had ever been found.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, April 8. ISB6.
Dear Advertiser: The commit
tees in congress are moving slowly
and cautiously with the appropria
tion bills. Nearly four months of
the present session have passed with
but three of the appropriation bills
disposed of by the house—the In
dian, the pension and the agricul
tural bills.
The interesting subject of debate
in the house the past week has been
the hill providing for submitting
labor strikes to arbitration. Mr.
O’Neill, of Missouri, the chairman
of the committee, had charge of the
hill, lie introduced the subject with
a few remarks, reserving the re
mainder of his time and yielding to
other members. Weaver, of lowa,
spoke strongly in behalf of the bill.
Reid, of Maine, believed that the la
boring men could ant) would regu
late their difficulties without the in
tervention of congress! llammond,
of Georgia, thought that the ques
tion was too serious and important
to be hurried through without ma
ture consideration. Daniels, of Vir
ginia, thought the bill so crude in
form that its provisions would fail
of the object in view. Reagan, of
Texas, was in hearti* sympathy with
the persons intended to be benefitted
by the bill, but believed its provis
ions to be unconstitutional. Mr
Bowman and Mr. Jflelly, of Pennsyl
vania, favored the bill and will vote
for it. but the latter believes that it
will not give the rei ief desired. The
disposition seems tj) be to load the
bill down with atm ndments, so that
if it passes at all it will be very dif
ferent from the bil.i.reported by Ue
committee. ' The /above were the
principal speakers, and the bill will
be further considered another day.
In the senate Logan’s army bill
was the most discussed subject. The
speeches on it have been many and
heated. Some senators strongly in
timated that Logan’s presidential
aspirations induced him to introduce
the bill.
But the trouble appears to be not
envy between the presidential can
didates, as some have been so un
kind as to insinuate, but antagonism
to Logan because of his active can
vass for the confirmation of Dement,
which was successful, notwithstand
ing the action of the committee on
public lands—adverse to the confir
mation. Teller and Logan especial
ly were extremely personal and se
vere iu ires v upoui each
other.
The republicans just now are aiw
thing but harmonious in the senate.
Two caucuses have been held, and
no. action decided on as to future
action on the adoption of the Ed
munds resolutions. There is a wide
difference of opinion as to what their
adoption meant. A large number of
the senators now favor confirmation,
except where the deposed are ex->
union soldiers removed without
cause. Some decision will doubtless
soon be reached, and supreme har
mony will again exist.
Judging from what is gathered
about the capitol and treasury, the
bill to create a commission on archi
tecture is meeting with considerable
opposition from the architects of the
country. The spirit of the bill is to
create a commission of three, who
shall be chosen after a competitive
examination, and who are to decide
on the plans for government build
ings throughout the whole country.
The cliict of the commission is to re
ceive a salary of $5,000 per annum.
Two objections to the bill are, first,
that architects competent to fill the
positions will not give six months of
their time in preparing competitive
plans, unless they are paid for the
plans, and secondly, that the skill
and talent of the standard that should
be required cannot be bad for less
than from SIO,OOO to $12,000 salary
per annum. At present the selec
tion of the plans is practically in the
bands of the secretary and the archi
tect of the treasury, only one of
whom is specially trained for the
duties, and he usually selected from
political influence rather than fit
ness for the position.
Speaking of the treasury reminds
me that numerous removals are being
made every week. Since Secretary
Manning's illness a great many dis
missals have been made, and the
clerks are again shaking in their
shoes in anticipation of losing their
places. It looks as if the powers
next in authority to the secretary
believe that democrats should have
the offices and propose to see that
they get them.
The sick members of the presi
dent's cabinet appear to be slowly
recovering, it is generally conced
ed that Secretary Manning will not
resume bis duties as head of the
treasury department if he recovers,
which seems to be very doubtful,
although m the last few days an im
provement in his condition bus been
noticed. Secretary Lamar and At
torney-General Garland are back at
their desks again. Col. Lamont is
also improving from his neuralgia
attack.
The latest addition to the senate
marble room, and one of the attrac
tions most admired by the throng of
visitors, is a beautiful electrolier of
brass. It hangs from the center of
tne ceiling, and is in the form of a
graceful basket, in which is a bou
quet of flowers rising to the height
of about three feet and spreading
equally over the -ides of the basket.
The stems and loaves of tlu* flowers
are of brightly burnished brass, and
the flowers themselves are of red,
yellow, blue and purple glass in dif
ferent shades. In place of the sta
men in each flower is a small incan
descent lamp, which, when lighted
and shining through the variegated
colors an i sparkling upon the pol
ished biass, makes a beautiful orna
ment. H.

The Miss Mattie Jackson’s church
quilt, gotten up to raise funds to
paint the church and lodge build
ing, sold for $66.62. Four young
ladies, Misses Jennie Jackson, Susie
Ponder, Roxie Griffiths and Freddie
Watts competed for it. Each hand
ed her sealed bid to tho referees,
Lee Sutton, Prof. F. T. Polhill and
John R. Shannon, who counted the
cash and announced to the anxiously
waiting crowd, Miss Jennie’s bid,
$27.45, and Miss Susie’s bid, $25.52.
Miss Jennie’s quilt is beautiful, but
it might have been Miss Susie’s if
she had taken an even start in the
work, ’flic noble emulation for a
praiseworthy object was successfully
ended ; the paints are paid for, and
flic funds are in band to spread them
on.
In this connection, we cannot for
bear mentioning the generous dona
tion of two acres for church and
lodge purposes, and two acres for a
public cemetery, made to the Bap
tist church by Mrs. Rachel Shannon
and her family, Messrs. J. M. and J.
R. Sbnnnon, Capt. S. D. Mobley,
Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Glower. Also
the well-timed effort of Mrs. Jennie
Bittick in procuring a nice set of
chandeliers for the church ; and the
valuable services rendered hereto
fore, by Miss Lula Harper and Mr.
Hiram Edwards.
The building committee, or rather
the peopie through them, have in
vested about S9OO in a public enter
prise that reflects honor upon them,
and adds greatly to their high social
advantages, and whose moral in
fluences time only can measure.
They now contemplate giving the
finish and polish to their work be
fore the meeting of the Centennial
Association with them next Septem
ber.
Especially to the cemetery. They
love and respect their dead. Their
dead are out of sight, but not out of
memory. This fact- is best evidenced
to the world by the good inclosures,
Clean'Vi?>Jk->. flowers and evergreens
thev put about their graves. Such
works or actions “speak louder than
words.” Who would skulk these
sacred duties, the visible love-links
to the invisible spiritual life, and
pass through this life a selfish blank,
neglecting others going before, to be
in turn himself neglected Iry those
coming after him, and leave the
world none the better Iry his living
and none the worse by his dying.
Abraham’s only purchased freehold
was a burial place for bis dead;
there they sleep together. J acob set
a pillar over his Rachel’s grave,
which was still remaining at the
Avriting of Genesis. Joseph, under
oath’ carried his father, Jacob, from
Egypt to the chosen burial place in
Canaan. Long after the vicissitudes
of time have consigned family grave
yards to the plowshare and oblivion,
a well-planned public cemetery will
perpetuate its grave-fixtures, and
even the stranger’s grave therein
may be identified for centuries. Said
committee will, we believe, in due
time, carry out the iniatory steps
already taken according to the wishes
of the people, about the cemetery.
They are solid men, and will do
their duty as the chosen representa
tives, respectively, of the lodge: H.

We miss two cheerful faces in our

is staying with her aunt, Mrs. Dodie
Wade, in Murfreesboro, Tenr , and
Miss Lizzie \Y. Mays, who is teach
ing at the Frank Jenkins academy,
Jasper county. They carry sun
shine where they go.
Also two charming young ladies,
Misses Eugie and Clyde McCord,
who are staying with their sister,
Mrs. Nora Gibson, in Flovilla.
Mr. John T. Willis has deserted
the Frankvilie bachelors and return
ed to his farm.
V* e have two good Mrs.
Griffith's, at Cabamss, and Miss Jo
die High’s, at the Watson academy.
Prof. Polhill has a fine school near
New Hope. Jasper county.
Mrs. Joe Johnston has moved into
our village, bringing her usual vi
vacity.
The Waverly Club held its last
meeting for this season at Mrs. Ann
Colvard's. Then and there Neva
and (avis settled their padlock dis
pute “says rumor,” and are better
friends than ever.
We are getting jealous of Juliette
about Mitoses Lou and Lizzie Pon
der. They are often there and too
seldom here among our bachelors.
Some of the finest toilet soaps im
ported from France are said to be
manufactured from the oil ol’peauuls.
FREE TRADE VS. PROTECTION.
There is no theme which lias been
so variously discussed bv men of
such varied knowledge and enlight
enment as free trade and protection.
England struggled with this question
when the colonies of America were
struggling for freedom, ller ablest
statesmen and most eminent writers
crossed swords ou that conflict, just
as Clay, Calhoun and Webster did in
the United States senato on-the
same question. The same interests
that divide Americans upon this
subject, divided the sentiment of
Greece in the days of Solon and
Rome under her Csesars. It is a
law of nature inherent in man and is
governed by the same principles
that govern heat and cold, or good
and evil. The man who has a mil
lion dollars lett him by an indepen
dent father, wants to increase his
million, and the boy who starts in
life only with his ambition wants to
accumulate his worldly goods. They
arc both actuated by the same mo
tive but their opportunities are very
different. Vanderbilt or Gould with
a hundred million each, could get
all the protection the government of
the United States could confer,
while a laboring man would be taxed
to support their protection. Here
w r e run against the dividing line.
On this point we all differ. The
wealthy class say we want and will
have protection, the poor and toiling
classes say they want the liberty of
buying wherever they can buy the
cheapest. To deny a man the latter
privilege seems not only despotic
but barbarous. There is no justice
in it in theory or practice. The
protectionists claim that by their
protective system, they give em
ployment to all who want work and
at remunerative wages, but this is
not true. This was forcibly demon
strated in the financial crisis of 1873
to 1878. At that time our leading
industries were working under our
protective system and yet in that
brief twilight of history over 38,000
of the best houses in the United
States went into bankruptcy, with a
shrinkage of values equal to the en
tire war debt of 1860 to 1865. It
was estimated that there were over
two million men thrown out of em
ployment by reason of this crisis,
while the wages of every laborer
was decreased with a corresponding
increase in prices for the necessities
of life. But the protectionists say
that it was owing to overproduction
and not protection that the crisis
foil upon us. There is no such thing
in the science of government as
overproduction. Men were just as
hungry and their appetites just as
good in 1875 as they were in 1880,
and they would enjoy nice clothes
just as well then as at any time, but
what are fine clothes and elegant
steaks to a man without a cent in
his pocket and nothing to do? A
wise administration of government
would ameliorate the sufferings of
the many, and restrain the rapa
ciousness of the few. But the pro
tective theory reverses that posi
tion. They make the rich richer,
and the poor poorer.
in the past century England has
been for protection and against it.
Her position was dictated by selfish
ness in both attitudes. The south
has occupied similar positions. The
New England manufacturers have
grown rich under protection, while
her employes have been converted
into an army of tramps. Their men
and women are working at starva
tion prices, taking care of their aged
and infirm with their scanty pit
tance, while the manufacturer and
his family winter in Paris and sum
mer at Long Branch. Concentra
tion of wealth and centralization of
power builds up a boasted aristoc
racy for the favored few, and de
stroys the last gleam of liberty for
the many. We believe in the im
mutability of God’s law and the in
flexibility of his designs. Let us go
forward to a higher plane of civili
zation, throwing down the barbarous
bulwarks of the past, dethroning
wrong and crowning right, develop
ing the good in the man}' and re
straining the vices of the few, deal
ing with the political problems of
our age with that marked ability
and moderation which distinguished
the efforts of our forefathers in the
early fo- nation of our republic.
