MIL JOHN F HOWARD is still with me and extends a cordial invitation to his friends to call and see what he can do for them. BARNESVILLE, GA., March 20th, 1887. Building and Loan Associations. New York Evening Sun. The legislature of Now York has before it a Dill introduced byAssem blyinan George 11. MeAdam, the purpose of which is to exempt build ing, loan, and co-operative associa tions from taxation on their capital stock. There are, it is said, fully three hundred of these associations in New York state, with an invested capital of 820,000,000, most ot it saved by those who work for day wages. Several of these associations have been organized during L'e past few months in tins ctsriui-' cates of incorporation, however, are only delivered on payment of one eighth ot one per cent, on the capi tal stock. These associations arc mostly similar to the six hundred which have given Philadelphia so many small houses for working people, and which arc said to have invested 8100,000,000. As described by those familiar with these enterprises, an ordinary organization, which starts on the basis of 8500,000 capital stock, must issue 2,500 shares, each share representing a dollar, and matured, 8200. Experience shows that all these shares will mature, on an average, in about ten years. From 100 to 300 members will read ily absorb the stock, and each mem ber can borrow to the full extent ot his shares. Thus a member holding 15 shares can obtain a loan of 83,000 at once, purchase or build his home, move in and pa}' into the association 815 each month with interest. Jn ten years he owns the house. An example of the way the system works may be found in the case of the young man who sells hundreds of Evening Suns at the Pennsylva nia ferry, on the New Jersey side. Ilej joined a Jersey City association three years ago, and now owns two houses. The object of the Me Ad am bill is to remove the objection now' raised against taxing these associations on their capital stock. The argument of its friends is that since the capital as soon as created is invested of necessity in real estate, where it is taxed, the law as it now stands taxes the capital. A • A Captain’s Fortunate Discovery. Capt." Coleman, schr. Weymouth, plying between Atlantic City and X. Y., had been troubled with a cough so that he was unable to sleep, and was induced to try Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consump tion. It not only gave him instant relief, but allayed the extreme sore ness in his breast. His children were similarly affected and a single dose had the same happy effect. Dr. King’s New Discovery is now he standard remely in the Cole man household and on board the schooner.

There are now I 1,500 convicts in the chain-gang of | the state, and this number does not include those convicts in county chain-gangs. The majority of these convicts are negroes. The whipping post should have ended the punish ment of many of these cases. Swift and sure punishment is what the criminal needs. The negro, in many cases, does not need long pun ishment. This whipping post busi ness is a practical question, but the constitution of the state prohibits it. There will be an attempt to amend the constitution, uo doubt.—Ex. The Progress of the “Boom.” In an article under the above head ing the Courier-Journal concludes with the following: The Courier-Journal early and late has pointed out to the southern people the wisdom of more business and less politics, and to the world the magnificent endowments of the southern country. It know all about the mineral wealth ot East Tennessee and .North Alabama, and it found out how cheaply iron was being made there, and what big fortunes were piling up in a few ha nils, it published the facts. They were stoutly’denied by the clique which had the field to itself. It proved them. Then, when denial was no longer possible, the “boom” was started, and ever since the Courier Journal, which was de nounced for making it possible and advertising it, has been denounced because wo have refused to indorse and support the bucket-shop wa}* of it. Speculation is no better south than north. It. is bound to hurt the many and enrich the few. Already they arc gambling in real estate just as they gamble elsewhere in stocks, and, as soon as the reaction sets in, as it surely will, the poor people who have put their little all upon it will come out fleeced. No enter prise is legitimate winch rests on such foundations. N"o prosperity can last which is not built upon honest labor. “Booms,” as they are called, are snares; and nothing is so illusory as “paper booms.” The south needs fresh money and energy. She has the resources to command them. These should be widely and fairly advertised. In the long run, they are hound to prevail over the worst system of legislation and speculation. Mean while the Courier-Journal would be untrue to its mission and its readers if it failed to desseminate, along with stern facts, sound doctrines. Of the result we are not afraid. State of Ohio, City of Toledo, Lucas County, S. S. Frank J. Cheney makes oath that he is the senior partner of the firm of F. J. Ciieney & Cos., doing business in the City of Toledo, County and State aforesaid, and that said firm will pay the sum of ON EII UN DRED DOLLA RS, for each and every case of Catarrh that can not be cured by the use of Hall's Catarrh Cure.

ISsT’Sold by Druggists, 75 cents. Only a Question of Time. Atlanta (Ga.,) Dixie. The natural resources of the south are vast, and they are continuing to attract the attention of northern capitalists. The mineral lands have nearly all been bought up, and by another decade the industrial en terprises of Dixieland will have as sumed gigantic proportions. The farming lands are equally valuable under intelligent cultivation, and it is only a question ot time when the waste worn-out fields ot Georgia will, under the magic touch of in dustry, blossom like the rose. It requires skill and patient work, but under a proper process the laborer will be amply awarded. THE MAY DRILL. The Affair Encouraged by State Rep resentatives. Washington, March 21.—The na tional drill, commencing on May 23 and ending on the 30th ot that month, decoration day, with a grand combination parade of the national guardsmen and Ue grand army of the republic, is no longer an experi mental affair. It is a fixed ami as sured success, both in its financial and military features, and in the un equaled crowds of excursionists and visitors from civil life now sure to be attracted by' its varied features. Details of the distribution of 526,- 500 in cash prizes, besides stands of colors, gold, silvor and bronze med als and sjieeial medals and plate trophies have already been publish ed. Saturday night entries were accepted, on the formal blanks is sued by the secretary, of seventeen first-class commands. These entries so far received now number thirty seven, and a number ot others are reported as returned for correction before the next weekly meeting. Thirty-six different states aro rep resented in the applications already received, and letters wero read from the governors of sixteen states re plying to circulars sent out to ask views of the state commanders-in chief as to the utility of the encamp ment and drill, and as to their in tent to be present for the national review and inspection of the troops from all states on governor’s day. Singular unanimity of approval of' the object of the governors’ da}’ feature marks these letters, most of them bearing strongly upon the na tional and fraternal spirit in which the drill had been received and managed. An Aged Pedestrian. Next to a walking match is Mr. 11. It. Sail Iter’s walking fifteen miles in one day, fishing and hunting. He lives at Athens, Ha., is 75 years old, has had a running uleer on his leg 50 years—one-half a century — and previous to that day had not walked over half a mile per day *or 30 years. Mr. Sail Iter, the Banner- Watchman and Jtev. Dr. Calvin Johnson say that B. B. B. cured the ulcer and restored him. “Oh, Josic” said little, gleeful Maid, “we are going ag’ ha./e some honey at our home.” How do you know?” asked Jessie. “Because mamma sent the servant after three B’s, and I don’t know what bees arc good for only to make honey.” What to Teach Our Daughter. At a social gathering, says the Charleston, S. (J., Dispatch, someone proposed this question : “What shall I teach my daughter ?” The follow ing replies were handed in. Teach her 100 cents make 81. Teach her how to arrange the parlor and the library. Teach li3r to say “No,” and mean it, or “Yes,” and stick to it. Teach her how to wear a calico dress, and to wear it like a queen. Teach her to sew on buttons, darn stockings and mend gloves. Teach her to dress for health and comfort, as well as for appearance. Teach her to cultivate flowers and to keep the kitchen garden. Teach her to make the neatest room in the house. Teach her to have nothing to do with intemperate or dissolute young men. Teach her that tight lacing is un comely, as well as injurious to health. Teach her to regard the morals and habits, and not money, in selec ting her associates. Teach her to observe the old rule. “A place for everything, and every thing in its place.” Teach her that music, drawing and painting are real accomplish ments in the home, and are not to be neglected if there be time and money for their use. Teach her the important truism : “That the more she lives within her income the more she will save, and the further she will get away from the poor house.’ Teach her that a good, steady, church going mechanic, farmer, clerk, or teacher without a cent, is worth more than forty loafers or non-producers in broadcloth. Can’t Say too Much. Towaliga, Ga., June 5, ’BS. We find B. B. J3. to be the best Blood Poison remedy we ever han dled, and gives more satisfaction. Its cures are quick and decided, and you can’t say too much in it* praise. We know of two cases of blood poi son and one of catarrh cured by its use. We can’t sell any other now. B. C. Kinard & Son, Merchants. ♦♦♦—— A CORRESHONDENT tO One of OUr leading exchanges says: “It has been thought that south west Georgia had a bonanza in the LeConte pear, but many' of the trees, young and old, have blighted and perfectly worthless. The pear business is certainly a blighted one.” While we are a strong advocate of fruit growing among our people, we would advise our readers not to bank too heavily on the LeConte pear.
