C’® 1 . Stoae’D Withdrawal.
Owing to stress of business we
overlooked calling attention, in our
last issue, to Col. \V. D. .Stone’s card,
legislative announcing his withdrawal from the
race. We strongly com
mend the motive that prompted his
withdrawal. Col. Stone is a true dem¬
ocrat and willing to sacrifice personal
aggrandizement for the good of the
people.

Fine T«mat»«f.
Friday evening Mr.C.B. Alexan¬
der showed us some samples of toma¬
toes grown in his garden which prove
the adaptability of our climate and
soil to that vegetable. The tomatoes
weighing were extra size, the heaviest one
Air. one pound and five ounces.
Alexander commends them as
v&Viety being well flavored. They are of that
known as the “Majestic.”
The only special pains taken in cul¬
tivating was the constructing of a
common frame on which the vines
lean for support. It is an extra va¬
riety of the tomatoe.
-
Dried Fruit.
The last ten days have been quite
favorable for drying fruit by the sun
after the old process, and consider¬
able quantities have been dried in this
section. The samples noticed by us
in the market last week were first
class. House keepers will do well to
buy a supply of this fruit now while
the prices are ruling low. Soon the
bulk of the erop will be shipped to
more northern latitudes and to obtain
this fruit then, will require more
money. There are a very few more
handy, more healthy and better
articles of food at all seasons than
good dried peaches.

Death ot iTIr». f. JL. Draws.
The intelligence of the death of
Mrs. Maud Brown, nee Napier, reach¬
ed this city by wire Saturday evening
and spread sadness over the town.
She died at her home in Chattanooga
Saturday morning.
On the 16tli of October last she, as
the lovely happy bride of Mr. C. L.
Brown, left us carrying with her the
best wishes of all, as she was a loved
favorite in the social circle. About
ten months after she is brought back
to us a corpse, clad in the habila
ments of death. How sad! And more
so. when we remember that she pos¬
sessed in a high degree, those traits
of character that go to make up the
true type of a noble womanhood.
Christian in character, always
kind, affectionate and amiable, pos¬
sessing splendid accomplishments,
and endowed with strong mental
powers, she was well fitted to fill the
highest sphere of a pure woman.
The funeral services were held at
the Presbyterian church in this city
and were conducted by the Pastor,
Rev. I. W. Waddell, assisted by Rev.
J. P. Anderson, of LaGrange, and
Prof. R. T. Asbury. A large con¬
course of friends was in attendance
and followed the remains to the fam¬
ily lot in the cemetery where they
were placed at rest. The bereaved
family have the sympathy of our en¬
tire community in this, to them, a sad
hour.

The Teacher* Institute.
On Monday last the Teachers Insti¬
tute for Pike and Monroe was opened
in Barnesville, and continued through
the week to Friday evening. The
exercises were supervised by Profs.
W. R. Woodall, of Columbus, and J.
AI. Pond, of Gordon Institute. They
were had in the chapel of the Insti¬
tute.
These institutes were established
under act of the last legislature, and
are designed as a normal school
wherein teachers may become more
efficient in the great work they have
undertaken. In these institutes
teachers meet teachers and the best
methods of imparting instruction and
for government in school rooms are
discussed, as also other subjects bear¬
ing These on the educational interest.
institutes will doubtless
prove to be a source of great benefit to
the people as teachers will gather
from them important lessons which
they perhaps can not obtain through
any other- chann L- For this reason
it is important that our teachers take
part in the exercises of these insti¬
tutes. They are schools for educating
teachers.
There were fifty white teachers in
attendance upon the session last week.
Those from Alonroe were:
Rev. Jesse Alays, Profs. E. B. Tay¬
lor, M. T. Harper. AV. E. Thurman,
A. C. Green, Joe Rankin, Alisses R.

A .Splendid Kutei-tainment.
On Monday evening of last week
the youth and beauty of our town
assembled at the elegant hmse of
Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Brooks. The
occasion was an entertainment by
Mrs. Brooks, in honor of her neice,
Miss Lucy Minter, of Flovilla. The
weather was most suitable for the
gathering of t he young people.
The elegant parlors were beauti¬
fully decorated in a manner befit¬
ting the oceassion. At a reason¬
able hour they were filled with the
gay and happy guests. The pass¬
ing moments went by on joyous
wing.
About 11 o’clock, the doors to the
dining ball were thrown open, and
the numerous couples wended their
way to the tables laden with viands
rich and tempting. After partak¬
ing of them the social enjoyments
of the evening were resumed and
continued untill the dial pointed
the hour of 12, when adieus were
bidden and all dispersed to their
homes to dream over the happy
scenes of the evening.
It was one of those delightful and
joyous pasttimes that young people
cherish as an oasis in memory’s
waste.
The host and hostess, Mr. and
Mrs. R. P. Brooks, left nothing un
done that ministered to the pleasures
of their guests.
A Crime.
On Thursday evening last Reuben
Oneal. a negro boy about seventeen
years old, committed a heiDous of¬
fense upon the persou of a delicate
twelve year old white girl about four
miles from this city. The girl’s par¬
ents were absent at the time and no
one was at the home except the little
girl and her five year old sister, of
which fact Oneal was cognizant, he
being at work on the premises.
Thursday night the negro was ar¬
rested and brought to the city. Fri¬
day morning when arreigned ror trial,
he waived commitment and was
lodged iu jail to await the due process
of law.
Touching such crimes, a vigorous
prosecution and rigid enforcement of
the law is imperatively demanded.
They are becoming too demands common, and
the safety of society in such
instances the promptest punishment
and that the extreme penalty of the
j law be inflicted,

On last Tuesday the Peoples Party
Congressional Convention was held
in this city. There was a full delega¬
tion from each county except Spald¬
ing, in the district in attendance.
After convening the bodj r was promp
ly organized, and harmony prevailed
throughout the session which was
not long, consuming about three
hours.
There were some speeches in advo¬
cacy of the policy and principles of
the Peoples Party.
On the first ballot for the nomina¬
tion of a candidate for congress the
vote was unanimous for Hon. J. E.
Pottle, of Milledgeville. The pro¬
ceedings and prompt action of the
convention indicate that the dele¬
gates, in assembling, meant business
and to discharge the duty assigned
them with dispatch. The nomina¬
tion will no doubt meet the approba¬
tion of the party throughout the dis¬
trict as the vote of the delegates in¬
dicated that the nominee had no
competitor.
Mr. Pottle is a young man of good
ability, being about twenty-six years
of age, and should he be elected, will
doubtless be the youngest man in
congress, as very few men attain to
that position so early in life.
The democrats of the district now
know against whom they have to
contend for congressional honors, un¬
less it be, that later on, a republican
will step into the race to contest for
the prize.
Should tills happen the fight will
then become triangular and the
danger of division among the whites
will be more manifest than at present.
This turn in political affairs is not
yet specially counted on, but “eter¬
nal vigilance is the price of liberty.”
Nevertheless should the contest re¬
main duplex, political work and acti¬
vity will no doubt be the order and
the watchword from now until the
ides of November.
And if they have not done so, the
democrats of the district may wake
up to the fact that, in the Peoples
Party, they have a competitor in the
political field. And in saying this,
ing we simply state a fact. But in wag¬
this contest, let dignified effort
and fair methods prevail, and not ri¬
dicule and villifieation. Let the
workers remember that they are deal¬
ing with intelligent creatures who
are capable of listening to reason.

Candidate* Nominated.
Saturday morning about 10 o’clock
the peoples party assembled in mass
meeting in the court house for the
the purpose legislature. of selecting candidates for
chosen Capt. L. A. Ponder
was Alulcay, Secretary. chairman, and Air. A.
There was some
slight difference of opinion as to the
mode of selecting candidates, but this
difference was soon settled harmoni¬
ously by the adoption of the majority
rule, Several names were put in
nomination, some of whom declined
for good reasons to be candidates.
When the nominations ceased, the
balloting was proceeded with. And
on counting out the first ballot it was
found that 105 ballots had been cast.
These were distributed as follows:
For S. H. Zellner, 92; J. R.Hill, 57;
J. F. Walker 30; J. YV. Hooten, 19;
G. G. Flynt, 7; A. Mulcay, 6; E. B.
Taylor, 1; C, F. Turner, 1.
The announcement of the vote
brought out the fact that Messrs. S.
H. Zellner and J. R. Hill had been
nominated as candidates for the leg¬
islature. Both these are good men,
and are thrifty, progressive farmers,
and are zealous advocates of what¬
ever they conscientiously believe to
be for the people’s interest. Should
they be elected, they will make pru¬
dent and safe legislators.
After the nomination, Air. Zellner,
being present, in a brief speech ac¬
cepted the nomination. Col. J. AL
Fletcher, Air, C. O. Goodwyne, and
Mr. AIcGregor, of YY’arrenton, also ad¬
dressed the meeting.
These concluded, the meeting went
into the selection of delegates to the
senatorial convention which con¬
venes in this city on Thursday next.
Harmony and good order prevailed
during the session.

ceedings Alass of said meeting:

Last week tho democrats of Cul

I a democratic club.
Realizing, that in the present
| ; status of political affairs, organisa
lion is nccsesary, they went to work
j with vigor and in two days the
club grew to 77 members all residing
in that district. If the democrats
of the county wis cceed in the
present political contest, those of
each district will go and do likewise.
As an evidence of the above stated
facts the following was handed to us
by M l 1 . T. G. McCowen which wo

“We the undersigned citizens, do
slemnly pledge our most earnest
support to the principles of true
democracy, and faithfuly promise

is the only escape from the curse
that threatens our fair south land.”

The Base Hall Tn«*»<litr
in Tuesday evening on the diamond
this city the Culloden team, hav¬
ing come over for that purpose, had
their second game with the Forsyth
team, both teams having wrestled
on the diamond in Culloden a lew
days before. The players on each
nine were in good trim. They
enteviy^ the grounds about 3
o'clock, shortly after which the
game began. Each team being
composed of gentlemen, the game
progressed pleasantly occupying
nearly three hours.
Mr. M. YVilson, ot the Culloden
team, proved to be a good second
baseman, one that could bo relied
on . They also had a good catcher
in the person of Mr. Otis Abercrom¬
bie, but was well matched in the
person of Mr. Lewis Anderson, of
the Forsyth nine.
Mr. Geo. Lawson showed that he
knew how to look after the first
base, and could do so successfully.
There were quite a number of
good plays by both teams, and the
play grew more and more interest¬
ing as it progressed, there having
arisen in the minds of the large
number of spectators, doubts as to
which team would win.
The game was umpired at first
by Air. J. II. King who was relieved,
on account of sickness, by Air. 1. 8.
Maynard. Messrs. Sharp and Holt
acted as scorers to the satisfaction
of the teams. Thus the game con¬
tinued until a blocked ball by For¬
syth’s team caused some little dis¬
satisfaction when the game was
called, with a score of 25 for For¬
syth and 24 for Culloden.
THE SM1LINR CROPS OF PLENTY.
1 have thought for a long time
that the author of the above expres¬
sion got his idea from the beautiful
appearance of well grown fields of
grain as they gracefully waved be¬
fore the cool breezes of spring time.
The waving of a nice field of
wheat is a pleasing sight, and well
calculated to beget the idea of smiles
that we see lighting up the faces of
the cultured and refined.
But as 1 was walking through a
corn field recently, I saw many ears
that were longer than the shuck,
and the white grains were distinctly
visible outside the dark green shuck
intended by nature for its covering
and protection.
The picture was, both interesting
and pleasing. It was interesting as
a study of the invariable laws of
abundant nature ; pleasing as a prospectively
harvest. YVhiIe thinking
of these things, I was impressed
with the idea of a “smiling crop of
plenty.” for the corn was so plenti¬
ful that the covering nature had
provided for it could not hide it, and
the beautiful white grains seemed
actually smiling at me as I passed.
Let the origin of the expression,
“the smiling crops of plenty.” be as
it may, the people of our latid are
blessed vith a full realization of a
corn erop that is forced to smile, so
to speak, from the very nature of its
plentifulness. Let the people re¬
joice, and the smile of gratidude
and thanksgiving ever abide in
their hearts and on their faces, for
the Lord has indeed been gracious
to them. C. 8.

Aspirants for political positions
are again stiring things up lively.
Handsome buggies and fine horses
are seen quite frequently conveying
the candidates from one district to
another. A cheerful word and
pleasant smile is given to all whom
they meet, while a nice little speech
is frequently made sotting fourth
their especial claims to that honor.
Lawyers, merchants and farmers
all clamor for preferment, each hop¬
ing to “got there. Well for once
the farmers and laboring men aro
equal to the occasion and aro eager
for the opportunity to show to the
world that they can and will vote
intelligently. Such a wide awake
yeomenry, such enthusiasm in the
rural districts, old Monroe never
knew.
Well, the crop of spring chicks
has been a full one, and has helped
quite a numbor of the dainties over
some light places. Chickens, eggs,
and dried peaches aro the currency
of Brent, which, while not quite as
convenient as gold or greenbacks,
they answer the same purpose.
Miss Lily Turner has resumed
her duties as principal of Pleasant
Grove Academy.
Miss Lizzie Childs is visiting
friends in Crawford county.
Mrs. W. F. Dewberry and Mrs. J.
M. Childs visited relatives in Piko
county the past week.
Mrs. T. E. Clements, of Macon,
is rusticating at the old homestead.
Mrs. J. E. Chambliss and children,
of Macon, are visiting relatives in
our burg.
Mrs. Remsie Owens, accompanied
h}’ Miss Owens, spent the day with
her brother, Mr. J. I. Holland, the
past week.
We were real glad to meet our
friend, Mr. .lob S. Taylor, Saturday.
Ho is as fine looking and jolly as
ever, still reveling in the glorious
freedom of single-blessedness, but
says he expects to join the grand
army of Benedicts just as soon as
his sweet one says “ask my papa.”
“Will, why don’t you get some
sheep, they will capture the black
miscreants ’ said a friend to me the
other day. “Get some carbolic acid
and sprinkle it around” said another,
but 1 knew that Mrs. P. O. would
object to both proposed remedies.
She says she is afraid the sheep
might hurt one of her cherubs, or
eat her bananas or break her flow¬
er pots, and that she got enough of
carbolic acid when she had the tootli
ache. She undertook to put some in
her tooth herself, but somehow she
failed to keep it in that tooth, so it
ran over her lip, puffing it up
and burning like fire, causing her
to run to the P. O. to consult Undo
Sam’s employee. By a liberal use
of vaselino wo finally coaxed that
lip to resume its natural size and
color, so 1 knew the second remedy
'Would n o tide repealed. But m i s. 1\
O. knows a lew things herself, so sho
took that Chloro-Naptholcum and
Sprinkled the floors, morning, noon and
night;
She sprinkled the beds, carpets and every¬
Even thing in sight,
the closets, several good showers she
Ditto gave;
to kitchen, and quite a “souser” to
little “Brave.”
Well, wo found none of the dead
carcases lying around, but the red
spots on our bodies grew conspicous
ly less, and the disposition to scratch
was not felt so often, the perambu¬
lating exercises around our ankles
gradually ceased, so 1 knew that
that “little girl of mine” had scored
another success. YV. P. C.
When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria,
When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria,
When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria,
When she had Children, she gave them Castoria,
