To try to give the jo-ople even an idea of my immense spring stock and how cheap I

competition on Hamhurgs, especially must stand aside. My Bc. Edges and insertions are
tin- talk of evervltody, who has seen them, and the 10c.
truly wonderful. 1 have Embroideries and Laces this time from the very cheapest to

FLORIDA LF.TTKB.
Ocoee, Fi.a., May 6, 1886.
Dear Advertiser:— l have been
reading your valuable pages ever
since 1 was four years old, and though
we have moved from our old home
near Forsyth, my desire to read is
unabated—indeed I am more eager
than ever to hear tlie news from dear
old Georgia. Many times I think of
Georgia with her lofty hills, dotted
with clumps of deciduous and ever
green trees and shrubs, all connected
with memories of some by-gone scene
or incident.
But I must say something for the
peninsula state. I have an exalted
opinion of Florida’s present and fu
ture. We are fast recovering from
the damages of the freeze. Shipments
of vegetables bring remunerative
prices. There is and has been such
an increase in the value of Florida
lands and property generally that
both the state and owners can proudly
boast. We have good markets and
the laborer is rewarded with good
wages and pure health. We have a
great many Georgians here, exercis
ing all the vim and energy that man
can put forth; in fact it is the motto
here to keep in earnest and rush your
business ahead as men should do, and
all are wide-awake to their interest.
We have all classes of persons
among us as well as you have. Some
we do not boast of as we think the
country would be the better, if rid of
them. They are unwilling to work
and depend too much on cuffee.
These are they who abuse Florida
and leave the state in disgust. My
idea is that life is what we make it,
here or elsewhere. Among the op
portunities for recreation and pleas
ure, there is nothing more calculated
to satisfy every desii-e than a sail
over the crystal lakes of Florida. To
study its attraction is to study the
beautiful in the Creator’s handiwork.
This is prominently a place for pleas
ure. The scenery on either side is a
moving panorama not soon forgot
ten. One finds a store of material for
; thought and study in these quiet
spots, looking over the vast stretch of
; woodland till the tree tops seem to
touch the western horizon, lit only
jby the glow of sun-set. Florida
looks well after her laurels and it
will only take time to develope her
I into one of the most populous states
in the Cnion. Capitalists are here
1 from all sections, making investments
j and even now there is a great flow of
people into our state.
While I write in favor of Florida T
am still loyal to my native state.
Truthfully I must say I prefer Geor
gia, could we have the increase in
property values and the pecuniary
reward for labor that we do here.
I close asking you to be considerate
in remembering me a little girl,
eleven years of age and a Monroe
county daughter, holding dear my
native state with grateful anticipa
tions of a visit to my old home this
summer. Enclosed find $1.50 for
which continue your valuable paper
to Axxie Pennington*.
E. Van Winkle A Cos., Atlanta. Ga.
We call special attention to the ad
vertisement in this issue of E. Van
Winkle & Cos., one of the oldest, most
reliable and popular houses in the
south. Their manufactures of every
description, are unequaled for execu
tion, finish and durability. Their
gins, cotton presses, oil mills, castings,
mill gearing, cotton gin feeders and
condencers, have taken so many pre
miums in competitive test, at exposi
tions and fairs in the southern states,
their merits and unsurpassed excel
lencies so well established, it wouid
seem any notice of this house would
; be superfluous.
During the past ten years, E. Van
Wikle & Cos. have found their busi
ness increasing so rapidly and their
immense sales extending through so
many states, they have been compell
ed to establish a branch foundry and
works at Dallas, Texas. They have re
cent lybought out Clark's cotton clean
er, a most valuable invention, that
cleans the seed cotton before it is
ginned, thereby enhancing its value
largely, which the house in Atlanta
will manufacture largely at low pri
ces for the trade in future. Am* com
munication addressed E. Van Winkle
& Cos.. Atlanta, will meet xvith a
prompt response and polite attention.

Unearned Land Grants
The Savannah Morning News,
speaking oflands granted to railroad
corporations upon conditions which
have not been complied with, con
tains the following.
What argument is there, that is
worthy of consideration, that justi
fies Congress in permitting railroad
companies which have averry doubt
ful existence, or which even have a
recognized existence, to bold on to
land to which they have not a shad
ow of right? These companies un
dertook to do certain things, in con
sideration of land grants which they
have neglected to do. The contract
which they had with the government
was broken by themselves, and the
government was released from all
abligations to them.
It is only natural, of course, that
the railroads should want to hold on
to the grants, which have not only
increased greatly in value within
the last few years, but which are
now increasing in value much more
rapidly than ever before on account
of the growing scarcity of land. The
railroads ought to have whatever
they are entitled to, bnl there is no
obligation on the part of the govern
ment to give them anything. The
government cannot afford to be gen
erous to long as there
are poor citizens unprovided for.
The retention of unearned land
grants by railroad companies which
have not built the railroads which
they agreed to build and which per
haps they have no intention of build
ing, is not only a great wrong to
those who are seeking new homes,
but is damaging to the states in
which the lands are located. The
high price per acre put u,on some
of these unearned land grants not
on 1 y dr i ves Imin i gra 11 1 saw ay bu t pre -
! vents the lands from becoming set
tled. The result is that land which,
if open to settlement, would pay tax
es and help to bear the expenses of
the government, remain untaxed for
years, or, if taxed at all are taxed on
a value so low that they yield scarce
ly any revenue. The sooner con
j gress declares unearned land grants
, forfeited the better it will be for the
S country.
The Technological School.
Chairman N. K. Harris, of the
Technological commission has sent
out circulars in which he announces
the readiness of the commission to
receive proposals from all points in
the state desiring the location of the
school and closes his circular as fol
lows :
It is the earnest wish of the com
mission that every community desi
rous of securing the 1 .cation, should
have the fullest opportunity to be
heard on the merits of any proposi
tion that such a community mav
make in accordance with the’ act, so
that no injustice may be done to any
one.
Permit me to say that in the opin
ion of the most thoughtful men of
the country there is no enterprise
which would tend so much to stim
ulate the* growth of a community,
call out the energies of its people,
and develop its resources, as would
the location of a school in its midst
like the one in question. It is intend
ed to educate mechanical talent, dig
nify labor, and fit the students for
work in any of the great industries
of the country.
All communications referring to
the subject ot location, should bead

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington. D. C., May 20.1886.
Dear Advertiser ; General Ros
eerans is having a hard time betore
the senate committee on finance in
the matter of his confirmation. The
opposition to his confirmation is very
strong, but it is possible that he may
pull through. On Wednesday, Ben
Butler made an argument against
the confirmation. The register how
ever, has warm friends espousing his
cause, and he has filed a written
statement in which he does not deny
being connected with certain Calfor
nia land transactions, but says that
what he did was under advise of his
lawyers, and that he has since been
sustained by the courts.
The bill to restore a large’amount
of jewelry, silverware and other val
uables captured by the army during
the war, to their rightful owners, has
passed both houses of congress.
Most of the valuables captured by
the army and not plundered by the
soldiers, were sent to Washington
by the commanding officers, and
have been stored ever since 1865 in
the vaults of the treasury, where
they have remained undisturb
ed until a short time ago.
Treasurer Jordan wishes to be re
lieved of their responsibility, hence
the action of congress. It is proba
ble that bills will be gradually in
troduced looking to the restoration
of other captured property.
The talk of the day in Washington
is the marvelous success of the new
periodical entitled, Public Opinion.
Jt is a weekl}- publication printed
here, and containing in epitomized
form, the current thought or public
opinion of the week, on all live ques
tions of the day as gleaned from the
leading dailies and magazines of this
and foreign countries. Both sides of
every question is impartially stated
as found in papers of all political
faiths, and due credit is given to the
paper from which the extract is made.
Members of congress and all promi
nent* public men are found eagerly
scanning its pages to get the drift of
of public opinion on vital national
questions being discussed at the
same time in all parts of our country.
The scheme is a novel one, and all
newspaper men here are wild over
it. It is too good a thing to miss,
and is the only journal of the kind
in this country. It is noted in this
letter to keep your readers posted in
■ wlmt is transpiring in the newspaper
field at the Nation's Capital.
On many of the streets of Wash
ington for five miles on a strech, the
trees form a perfect canopy over the
broad sidewalks, and an unbroken
avenue of shade, refresshing to the
brow of the weary pedestrian on a
he ited summer day. The total
number of parks, or reservations as
they are called in the District is 362
aggregating 1,000 acres, exclusive
of the capitol grounds which contain
30 acres. During the past year a
large force of men have been at
work classifying the immense num
ber of srees and shrubs, and shrubs,
givining the different varieties, when
planted, where obtained, etc. In
keeping with the long established
custom, Colonel Wilson, superinten
dent of public buildings and grounds,
will submit his annual report to the
secretary of war, about July 1. It
will treat largely of the many varie
ties of trees and shrubs of which the
government is owner, and contain
much valuable information to horti
culturists which has never been in
print.
' The government is at a heavy ex
pense, not only in planting and nur
turing these trees and trimming the
grass lawns of the parks, hut also in
preventing vandalism. Belie hun
ters and memento gatherers are
thick in Washington at all times of
I the year, and the government is
j obliged to employ watchmen in all
the parks to prevent these people
j from destroying and carrying away
the plants and flowers, and from
even stripping bark from the trees,
j Why, the tree that stand in front of
| the house which Seward occupied
j when attacked by the assassin, ami
I the tree behind which Barton Key
| took refuge when Sickles shot him,
have been stripped time and again
of their bark, and have had so many
pieces sliced out of them that to-day
they look as if they had been torn
and shattered by shells and have
but little life left in them. A big
item of expense is setting out the
summer blooming plants in the
spring. The work has been back
ward this season owing 10 unfavora
ble weather, but it is now under
way, and by the first of June more
than 250,000 healthy plants will
have been set out in the public ies
i creations. The rarest and most del
j icate plants used to be marked
i “hands off. - ’ but Superintendent
Smith, of the Government Botanical
Gardens, in his fifteen years expe
rience has learned that the inclina
tion in man and woman to do what
is forbidden is so strong that it is
only necessary to direct their atten
tion to what should not be touched,
and thev are then sure to handle it.
Now all these sign-boards have been
removed and the rare plants are
never touched. Where ignorance is
protection Tis destruction to make
wise. H.
The Methodists or Elberton will
at once build two new parsonages,
i one for the presiding elder of the

THE PENSION RAIDS.
Courier Journal.
The debate in the senate Thurs
day on the new pension bill shows
the evils and the dishonesty of the
pension bills in a striking light.
It is proposed to pension every
man unable or unwilling to work,
who has ever served in the army.
I he incapacity thusprovided against
need not be due to wounds received
or to disease contracted in the ser
vice. It may he due to drunken
ness, to evil habits of any kind, to
inherited tendencies, to accidents of
any kind, yet it is proposed to pen
sion him. Mr. Blair estimates—and
his estimates have no relation what
ever to the truth—that the number
of pensioners under this scheme
will not exceed 250,000, and the
annual expenditure not more than
§25,000,000 or $8 a month. Mr.
Logan at once demanded that even
pensioner receiving less than 88 be
increased to 88 per month. It is a
low estimate to say the annual
change for this item will be 850,000,-
000. Taking former estimates as
a guide, the bill will add 8100,000.-
000 to the annual pension bill.
There is no one word to he said
in defense of this scheme. It is no
more respectable than highway rob
bery. It is entitled to no considera
tion whatever. Senator Berry called
attention to the condition of the
Confederate soldiers, who returned
to find homes destroyed and farms
ruined; wounded, penniless almost
helpless, the} 7 struggled on, asking
no alms and receiving none. The
contrast is striking, and to every
one who takes a manly pride in the
name and fame of the Union army
it is humiliating.
It seems, if we are to accept Lo
gan and Blair as the spokesmen for
the Union soldiers, that the army
was nothing more than a band of
mercenaries. Having “saved the
Union,’ it is now to be delivered
over to them to be plundered ruth
lessly. The whole scheme is a sham.
The Union soldiers do not demand
it, but il they do it should he refus
ed. The soldiers were paid as no
army has ever been since the time
of the first warrior to the present
time. The Union was not saved by
the soldiers alone. Others died and
suffered with no murmur. The
men in the fields and factories gave
up their hard-earned wages to sup
port these armies and submitted to
deprivations which were as severe
as pic*.Ve£ dntv OPS ffirbl-on the field.
Every dollar promised—and hun
dreds of millions more—has been
paid. Every pledge to the soldiers
has been religiously kept. It is a
reckless, dishonest and dishonorable
scheme which Logan and Blair are
pushing. It is gigantic theft. It
should cause as much alarm ai if
after the grand review, Grant had
marched his soldiers to New York
and pillaged the city.
The time for soft words has pas
sed. These deeds must be fairly
described. The men who further
them must he held to a strict ac
countability. JSo democrat who
favors them should ever again be
trusted by the party. No southern
congressman who is intimidated by
threats from the north is fit to hold
his position.
These pension raids must be de
feated, or the party will sink into
deserved contempt and the country
will hasten on toward anarchy.
Was it Cancer ?
I have been taking B. B. B. for
six or seven weeks for something
like cancer on my neck, and I would
not take one thousand dollars for the
benefit received.
I had previously tried s*arious so
called blood remedies, but B. B. B.
