Died, at her home, in Orange county,
Florida, on the 17th Sept., Mrs. Callie
Swain Mitchell, wife of Capt. L. C.
Mitchell. It was our pleasant privilege
to known Mrs. Mitchell in the sweet bloom
of her girlhood and a .brighter promise
of a long and happy life never gladdened
the heart of friends. She was lovely in
all that constitute the perfection of
human excellence. In mind, in heart
and in person she was beaHtifbl, the
graces of her form happily blending with
the rarer and sweeter graces of character.
It is sad to think that one so young,- so
so pure and so fair should die. But per
haps her death was only another trans
formation of her lovely life and the flower
that budded so sweetly here now blooms
in parndise We tender our sympathy
with those who mourn her untimely loss.

To the Ciiiiens of Floyd County Georgia:
At a meeting of the Board of Direc
tors of the Soldiers Monumental Fair
Association, held on Saturday last, I
was instructed to invite you to become
members of the Association, especially
those of you who feel any interest in
tho erection of a monument and in the
encouragement of our agricultural, me
chanical, manufacturing and all other
industrial pursuits.
The admission fee is only $1.C0,
which entitles any one to all the privi
leges of membership. The Association
meets in January to elect three dele
gates to the annual and semi annual
conyentlons of the State Agricultural
Conventions, and in May the annual
convention will be held for tho election
of officers for the Association.
The admission fee would be of great
service to the Association at this time
to meet the incidental expenses,
would suggest that those wishing to
join pay the admission fee (one dollar)
to Capt. C. O. Stillwell, Treasurer. T
will then enroll their names.
Respectfully,
Tnos. J. Perry, Sec’y,

people have paid in taxes more than thrice
ihe sum of tho national debt, and more than
twice that sum for the Federal Government

every department, nnd from every officer of

Reform is necessary to put a stop to the
profligate waste of puhlio lands and their
diversion from actual settlers by the party in
power, whioh lias squandered two hundred
millions oi acres upon railroads alone, and
out of more than tnrice that aggregate has
disposed of less than n sixth directly to tillers
of the soil.
Reform is necessary to correct the omissions
of a. Republican Congress - and the orrors of
our treaties and our diplomacy which have
» ed our feilow-eitiiens of foreign birth
i rid red rooe, recrossing the Atlantic, of
tho shield of Amerioan citizenship, imp have
oxposed our brethren of the Pacific coast to
the inaureions of a raou not spruug from the
sume great parent stook, and, in fact, now by
law deniod oitizenship, though naturalization
is being neither accommodated to tho tradi
tions of a progressive civilization nor exer
cised in liborty under equal laws. We de
nounce the policy which thus discards the
liberty-loving Gorman and tolerates the
revival of the Coolie trade in Mongolian
women, imported for immoral purposes, nnd
Mongolian men, held to perform servile labor
contracts, and demand sueh modification of
tho treaty with the Chineso empire, cr such
legislation within constitutional limitation, as
shull prevent tho further importation or im
migration of tho Mongolian race.
Reform is necessary and can never be
effected but by making it the controlling issue
of the elections and lifting it above tho two
false issues with which tho office-holding
class and the party in power seek to smother
it—tho false issue with whioh they would
onkindle sectarian strife in respeet to the
puhlio schools, of which tho establishment
and support belong exclusively to the soveral
States, nnd which tho Domocratio party has
cherished f,-om their foundation, and is re
solved to maintain, without partiality or
prclerence for any class, soot ot creed, and
without contributing from the Treasury to

we do hereby re-affirm our faith in the per”

tion to the Constitution of the United States,
with its amendments universally accepted as

engendered the civil war. and do here reoord
09| Mr feteadfwl onfidcnce in the perpetuity of
Republican self-government; in a resolute
acquiescence in the will of the majority, the
vital prineiple of republics; in the supremacy
of the civil over the military authority; in
the total separation of the church and State
for the sake alike of civil and religious free
dom ; in tho equality of all citizons before
the juBt laws^if their own enactment; in the
liberty of individual conduct, unvexed by
sumptuary laws; in tho faithful education of
the rising generation, that they may preserve,
enjoy and transmit tho=e best conditions of
humun happiness and hope, we behold tho
noblest products of a hundred years of
;cful history. But whilo upholding tho
of ohcUhion and the 1 great' endrter of
these, our rights, it behooves a free people to
iracticc also that eternal vigilance which is
he price of liborty.
Reform is nooessarv to rebuild and estab
lish in tho hearts of tho wholo pooplc tho
Union, eleven years ago happily rescued lrom
tho danger of a secession of States, but now
to bo saved from a corrupt centralism which,
after inflicting upon ten States the rapacity
of oarpot-bag tyrannies, has honey-combed
the officers of the Federal Government itself
with incapacity, waste and fraud; infected
States and municipalities with the contagion
of misrule, and locked fast the prosperity of
an industrious people in the paralysis of
hard times.
Reform. is necessary to establish a sound
currency, restore the puhlio credit, nnd main
tain the national honor. We denounce the
failure for all theBe eleven years to make
good the promise of the legal-tender notes,
which are a cnanging standard of valuo in
the hands oi tho people, and tho non-payment
of fcrhieh is a disregard of tbo plighted faith
of the nation. We denounce the improvi
dence which in eleven years of peace has
taken from the people in Federal .taxes
thirteen times the whole amount ot the legal-
tender notes, and squandered four times this
sum in useless expenso, without accnmuiating
any reserve for 1 heir redemption. Wo de
nounce tho financial imbecility and immoral
ity of that party which, during eleven years
of peace, has mado no advance towards re
sumption, and no preparation for resumption,
hut instead has obstructed resumption by
wasting our resources nnd oxhausting all our
surplus income, and while annually profess
ing to intend a epeedy return to specie pay
ments, has annually enacted fresh hindrances
thereto. As such a hindrance wo denounce
th* resumption clause of the act of 1875, and
we here demand its repent. Wo demand a
judioious system of preparation by puhlio
economies, by official retrenchments, and by
wise financial management, which Bliall en
able the nation soon to assure the whole
world of its perfeot ability and its perfect
readiness to meet any of its promises at the
call of tho creditor entitled to payment. We
believe such a system, well devised, and
above all ontrustca to competent hands for
execution, creating at no timo an artificial
soarcity of currency , and at no time alarming
tho puhlio mind into a withdrawal of that
vaster maoliinery. of credit by whioh 95 per
cont. of all business transactions arc per
formed, a system open, public, and inspiring
general confidence, would, from the day of
its adoption, bring healing on its wings to
all our harassed industries and set in motion
the wheels of commerce, manufactures and
the mechanical arts, restore employment to
labor and renew in all its national sources
the prosperity of tho people
Reform is necessary in the sum and modo
of Federal taxation, to the end that capital
may he set free from distrust and labor light
ly burdened. We denounce the present
tariff, levied upon nearly four thousand arti
cles, as a maoterpieco of injustice, inequality
and false pretense. It yields a dwindling,
not a yearly-rising, revenue; it has impover
ished many industries to subsidise a fow; it
prohibits imports that might purchase the
products of American labor; it has degraded
American commerce from the first to an infe
rior rank upon the high seas; it has cut down
the sales of American manufactures at home
and abroad, and depleted the returns ot
American agriculture,-Ah Industry followed
by half of our people; it costs tho people
live times more than it produces to the Treas
ury, obstructs the prooosses of produotion
and wastes the fruits of labor; it promotes
fraud and fosters smuggling, enriches diahon
patronage'should neither ho a lax upon the
timo of all our pubiio men, nor the instru
ment ot their ambition. Here again the
professions falsified in (lie performance attest
that the party in power oan work out no
practical or salutary reform.
Retorm is nocessary even more in the
higher grades of public service. The Pres
ident, Vice-President, Judges, Senators, Rep
resentatives, Cabinet officers—these and all
others in authority are tho people’s servants;
thiir offices ore not a private perquisite, they
are a pubiio trust. When the annals of this
Republic show the disgrace and censure of a
Vico President, a late .Speaker of the House
of Representatives marketing his tuliugs as
a presiding officer, three Sonators profiting
secretly by their votes as law-makers, five
chairmen of the lending committees of the
into Hqase of Representatives exposed in
jobbery, a lato Secretary of tho Treasury
forcing balances in tho public Accounts, a late
Attornoy-Gencral misappropriating puhlio
funds, a Secretary of tne Navy euricliod or
enriching friends by per centngo levied off
the profits oi contractors with bis depart
ment, an Ambassador to England oensnred
in a dishonorable speculation, the President’s
private secretary barely escaping conviction
upon trial for guilty complicity in frauds
upon tho revenue, a Secretary ol War im-
S cached for high criraeB and confessed iniB-
emeanors, tho demonstration is complete
that the first step in reform must be the
people’s choice of honest men from another
party, lest the diseaso of one political organ
ization infest the body politic, and leet by
making no obango of mou or party we can
get no change of measures and no reform.
All these abuses, wrongs and crimes, the
product of sixteen years’ ascendancy of the
Republican party, create a necessity for
reform admitted by the Republicans them
selves; hut their reformers are voted down
in convention and displaced from the Cabinet.
The party’s mass of nonest voter’s is power
less to resist oighty thousand office-holders,
its lenders and guides. Reform oan only be
had by a peaeoful oivil revolution. We
demand a change ot system, a change of
administration, a change of parties, that we
mny have a change of moasures and of men.
