Remember you havo a splendid chance to sand your children to a splen did School for almost nothing —only $1 and $1 50 a month. The people of our part of the coun ty are almost a unit on the Atlanta in vestigation. They are tired, heartily tired of short comings in high places, and desire a full and complete investi gation let it fall on whom it may. They and they alone have the bills to foot, and havo a to know where the money goes. The honor, character and prosperity of the whole State depends upon the faithful discharge of duty by our public officers. The people de mand that they do their duty, and do it honestly and to the letter, It seems that the Cemetery difficul ty, that was waged so hotly in the Crawfordville Democrat , last spring, has culminated in a Church difficulty, and the Baptist Church at that place have asked neighboring Churches to send committees to help them try and settle it. It is to be regretted that the difficulty has taken this shape, and all the Churches will join in the prayer that everything may be adjusted, and that the old Church be again united and prosperous.

Don’t wait till you have spent the energies of your man hood trying to get rich. You will nevor do it, for not one in ten thousand ever reach that point. There are hundreds of intelligent, virtuous, energetic young ladies, one of whom can and will make your home happy if you will put her in it. Marry from principle, as God commands you, and put the energies of yovir hands and the affections of your heart together and strike out for hap piness and prosperity, and you will reach it suro. The path of the un married roan is beset with temptations and sin, of dissipation of every kind, loss of character, loss of honor, of vir tue, home and everything. Tho socie ty of woman, the close, confidential friendship of the wife is almost a sure safeguard against the whole catalogue of crimes. Frofanity and drunkenness and sensuality are put to shame by the refinements and virtue of woman. She stands on the watchtower of man’s des tiny, and if he will heed her voice he will be saved—saved as a man, the no blest work of all creation. The vital energies of the human race depend on tha habit* of her people. If the habits of the people be virtuou active and cheerful, tho people will t strong, vigorous and intelligent; if no they will bo weak, indolent and iuibt cilic. Marriage is the safeguard an. director of these habita. Then mars while you are young, befote habits tha will ruin you are formed—before teni’ 1 tat-ion with her alluring fascinatio has led you off. Marry while you a truthful, while you are honest, befir you have learned to be indolent ai profligate. If you remain single, nil chances in ten are, that [these trouhl. all, or many of them will overtake yo; We repeat then, marry and the soom the better. (Kmj haul on u*s stj next nv K ENO.

OurCtuiditlutc <•• tljc Presi dency. [Atlanta Constitution] One of the favorite pastimes of the aver age editor is to nominate a man for the presidency. If there is a farmer who rai ses an unusually big potato, or who makes two crops in one year, or who raises his provisions on his own farm, he is sure to meet some admiring editor who nominates him for the presidency. If a man pays an old debt that is out of date—if a clergyman announces that he will preach twenty min utes sermons—if a legislator turns over bis salary to some benevolent institution —.he is at once nominated for the presidency. We desire this morning to put on the track our canidate for the presidency. We nom inate, without reservation or withholding, Senator Hudson, and we nominate him solely on his platform of love for the women. He announces that his love for Woman is as great as his avoirdupois. This gives his friends an enormous platform to stand upon. It is wide enough for a larg sized party. It presents a live issue to the pub lic, and one that cannot be subordinated or settled.
