VOL. XVI. The appointment of CoL Buck, as marshall of North Georgia was not unexpected. The suggestion that the president appointed him to punish Atlanta people for the post office trouble, is, if true, by no means cred¬ itable to Mr. Harrison, or complimen¬ tary to Mr. Buck. *#« The Confederate Veterans of Ala¬ bama have organized a state associa¬ tion, with Gen. E. W, Petturs as president. The object is to raise money by popular subscription, and build a home for homeless and disa¬ bled soldier*?. The state should aid in the work, and thusan part at least, pay the debt it owes the veterans. *•* The House has passed the bill re quiring millers, manufactures and merchants selling flour or corn meal, to have printed on each sack, or packet containing these ai tides, in plain figures, the exact number of pounds the package contains. This is an important law, but (the general law against false weights and meas¬ ures.ought to render a special act un- necessary. **** There is a deficit in the state treas ury of $175,000 : a bill has passed the House to increase 'the state tax for 1890 three-tenths of a mill. This will raise $100,000, the cost of the present session of the legislature, or therecboutR. The News suggests that the legislature now adopt the resolution of Senator Whitfield,with reference to the lessees of the state road, then adjourn ahd go home. **** The state fair at Macon is a grand success; one feature of the fair is the largest display of flowers ever seen in the state. Among (the most in- couraging signs of the times, is the growing interest manifested in exhi¬ bitions bf the farm and manufactured products of the south. Countv,dis¬ trict and state expositions possess Mich a it met ions that people flock to them by the hundreds of thousands, and they vitew with delight the won¬ derful resources, and unlimited wealth being developed by the tillers bf the Soil, and the laborers of the Workshop. *** Everywhere the farmers are rising up against the monopolies and trusts. In Michegsn the Patrons of Husban¬ dry Are 75,009 strong, and the num¬ ber is increasing daily ; they propose to strike terror into the hearts of their enemies; they even threaten to become a controlling power in the polities of the state. In this greal struggle all over our land, the thiev¬ ing monopolies and the high handed robbing trusts must ultimately go down before the righteous indignation of the honest and hardy tillers of the soil. *** The Show has come and gone, takr . with ... . hundreds - of dollars; and . ing H I’ C °P |C arc askinl! ’ “ Did "“S' 1 pay v J for our money?’’ Well it is * something to see thewonderful physi- cal . .. ... . , possibilities . of the muscles,nerves , and , . of ._ the human body it . sinews ; is worth something ... to . see , how animals . , can ..... be trained to apparently possess thought and intelligence loan a tuna- ing degree ill-as worth something to see that poor baby goat, with such a sad countenace, doing what it was bid; but to the writer .. the ., most . . inter- . eating part of the show,was the hap- py countenances of the farmer boys and girls, with their parents, taking a day of rest and enjovment from their hard labors aud cures. *** The resolution of Senator Whitfield creates a commission composed of ex- Governors Smith, McDaniel and Collquitt, the judges of the supreme court, and a railroad expert, to take into consideration the entire lease of the road, the demands of the lessees ; ascertain if they arc entitled to anv claims for betterments, if so how much; the decision of this board to be final. The appointment of this commis¬ sion seems to be the best move yet made for settling the difficulty. The people wilLhave full confidence in the character, knowledge, and abili¬ ty of the men composing this com¬ mission, and will be satisfied with their decision, knowing it will be ip accordance with law and equity, and just both to the lessees and the state.

He says that he was traveling itt Franklin county a short time ago wheii passing a house, a gentleman came out,and bfcsdughthim with tears rolling down his checks* to go in atid see his brother who was dying. Mr. Deavors went in and found the man very low. The sick man had not led a Christian life; among his wrong do¬ ings, he had left his wife and chil- ren and gone away with a strange tVoman. The Rev.,gentleman exhort-> ed him to repent of his sins and find pardon in the biood of his Redeemer before h© was ushered into the pres¬ ence of the Great Judge.

The neighbors and friends also gave him the right hand of fel¬ lowship. As his children approach¬ ed the bedside of the erring father, it was a pitable sight to see and hear them forgiving the great wrong done their mother and themselves, while tear3 rolled down his cheeks; but few eyes m that room were dry.

To the Ordinary: Dear Sir:—Governor Gordon instructs me * to inform you, and through you the beneficiaries of the law granting allowances to disabled soldiers, that the payments to them for the year ending October 24, 1890, will begin the First Of February, 1890. The reason for the Order are: First. Because the payments can¬ not be made until the taxes levied for tills purpose havfe been collected and paid into the State Treasury. Second. Because the heavy work required to examine, record aud is¬ sue warrants to make thbse pay¬ ments can be done more rapidly in •February and March than at ally other time—the other public work be¬ ing lightest during these months. Third. Because it is not desirable to make the payments for the whole period in advance. Fourth. Because the payments made in the early Spring distribute the money througbt the Stata at a time when it is calculated to do most good. New blanks will he prepared du¬ ring January and forwarded by the lst;of February. The payments will be made as fast as applications can be properly ex** amined and recorded; Applicants who were paid in 1888, and again in 1889, will not be re¬ quired to furnish any proof by the Physicians, their Officers or comrades, but must make applications in regu¬ lar form and furnish the certificate of the Ordinary of the County show- ing continued citizenship.

(New York Letter.) A GIGANTIC COMBINATION. The topic of the week in financial and business circles generally is the gigantic has just railroad combination which been consummated between the Union Pacific and Chicago and Northwestern. These two companies control altogether nearly 11,00 miles of railroad extending in all directions from Chicago. Hereafter they will furnish each other with all the traffic they can command through their res¬ pective agents, and in fact, the two systems will be run as one. The a- greement by which thi'S was brought about,takes effect Dec. 1st. and lasts fo* ten years. The most significant part of the deal is the fact that the Vanderbilts are the prime movers a£n ^ now be enabled to carry out their long-cherished project of a road extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific under their own control. They already have all the Eastern connec- to make the proposed route a favo- r *te one with’ traveiefs and shippers, This transaction will undoubtedly hasten others of similiar character, and it is' freely predicted in Wall street, that before ten years, all the railroads of the country will be man¬ aged as one gigantic system.

The oats shoul 1 be sowed in drills in the cotton fields, the work may' be continued thronghOctober- andNovem- ber. ,'there is no difficulty or loss to the cotton. Have cotton pickers gather the cotton row by row, as fast as the plows are to plow the grain. Sow the oat9 broadcast and plow in with scooter and scrape, double shovel, or Plant Jr. Cultivator. flKASS. Good grass cannot be produced on poor soil. But it does require a heavy application of manure to start the grass off vigorously, and it is easy to add more in the form of top dressing in the spring. SWEET POTATOES. The difficulty is to keep them from rotting after they are dug. They should be dug about the time a kill¬ ing frost is expected or immediately after; in handling they should not be cut or bruised; they should be kept at a uniform low temperature (above freezing), and kept dry. Pouring dry sand so as to fill the insterstices between potatoes is excellent; by packing in sand they may be kept sound, sweet and, dry until potatoes come again.—Southern Cultivator. Sick - ^ mmm* - headach and a sensation of oppressiou and dullness in the head digestion: are very commonly produced by in¬ morbid despondency, irri— tabipty and over sensitiveness of the nerves may, in a majority os cases, be traced to the same cause.

That, to my mind, is the whole of the law, the alpha aud ome¬ ga.” “And do you apply the same rule to men?” “Ob, dear, no. Men are in most things, in dress and io much else besides, past praying for.
