Thursday, November .27th, is Thanksgiving day and it will be generally observed in Vienna. The legislature by a special act has made Capt. Evan- P. Howell eligible to hold the office ot mayor of Atlanta, to which position he was recently elected by a large majority. Hon. S. R. Fields.one of Dooly's hriilinnt representatives, came up from Cordele Saturday afternoon and mingled with friends here Representative^ Fields is taking quite a stand in the House and his friends bespeuk for him a fine record. There is a greut demand in Vienna lor Wnore houses to rent from $5 per month up. Laboring people especially, can't afford to pay $10 par month for house rent at the price they receive lor their WOrki It would be well for some \\ GUf etilerprising and monied men to erect a number of houses to rent for a smaller price. More people would move to our city for the benefit of the school if it wasn't for the high rent. The legislators ride on free passes and then diaw mileage from the state trensury. There are few of the representatives who probably could be corrupted by such a small thing as a railroad pass, but, from tlut standpoint of common decency and honesty, would it not look better for the lanmukers to stop tnit practice of receiving favors from railroads as-well as all other corporations?—Dublin Courier- Dispatch. WHY DID THEY STAY AWAY? A problem which the Republican leaders in New York are trying to solve is. why did so many thousands of Republicans in New York city ■—registered Republicans—remain away from the polls last Tuesday? says the Savannah Morning News. Two years ago, in that city, the Republican vote for Governor was 272,090 and the Democratic vote was 316,393. Last Tuesday the Republican vote was 202,559 an d the Democratic 1*016324,564, These figures show a fulling off in the Republican vote of 70,000 or more and an increase iu the Democratic vote of about 8.000. > Did 70,000 registered Republi cans stay away from the polls or did Democtiits as well us Republi cans stay away vthile the Democrat- yote was partly made up of Republican voters? It is not 'be lieved that the Republicans con tributed anything to the Democratic vote. The explanation is that there is much hospitality to Gov. Odell among the republicans of New York city because he assisted in bringing about rhe taxation of public utility franchises, thus re ducing the tuxes of the farmers.and people of the villages and increas- ing'.thut of the owners’ franchise properties in New York city. It is also claimed that the'ildiniuistration of Mayor Low has been a great disappointment to the Republicans of New York city, it having besn so colorless as to excite no enthusiasm among them. Whatever the cuuse, it is certain that Republicans did not rally to Gov. Odell os they did two years ago* It may be that they have found out that the Republicans ure great in making promises, but that they seldom fulfills their promises. They promised lo do greut things in the way of reform in New York city. ' As a master of fuct the con dition of uffuirs there is just about what it has been for years.* At no time during Mr. Croker’s rule of Tammany was it wider open than it is now. Some of the 70,000 Republicans who remained away from the polls ought to be interviewed. Doubtless they would willingly give their reusons for not voting, and their reasons would make interesting reading. THE NEffl BRICK STORE, PINEHURST, GEORGIA.

The farmers support the world; the result of their labors feed and clothe the universe, and therefore th*y should be cared for more than any other class of people in a legislative way, but the fact of tho matter is, they are about the only clrts who have no class legislation, and It is not likely that they will ever have on account ot the impossibility of or- ganising them. Without organization they cannot hope ever to exeroise any political power except in voting for some other class candidate. It behooves each farmer then to hit upon sonic plan, by which he may act individually and independently of his own class and of oilier classes ot workers and the capitalist. There is but one plan, that is to place himself In an independent position in his farm life. There is no other occu pation in the world that requirse so little capital and so little work as that of the farmer. It every farmer did as much labor as the merchant, salesman, the carpenter, the wheelwright, the banker, the sue cessful lawyer or others of any occupa tion, he would soon be independent. The farmer, not only fails in not working enough, but neglects too much the little things pertaining to his farm life, he fails to attead to the cane, ar tichoke, pea and peanut patches* for his hogs; he fails to feed regular and house properly the barnyard fowls (a source of much revenue) he fails to select seed corn and seed cotton while in the field and to gather and seperate them from the general crop of com and cotton; he neglecta to select his brood sow accord ing to excellency for the purpose; and not the least of all, he allqwa the bam- yard manure to waste and fire; should SHOES and HATS.

COME TO SEE US. there be any left at planting time it is all right, and if there is none he doesn’t care; he buys any kind of old stuff, Just so it’s called “Acid” or “Guano." The small farmers are the “bone and sinews” ot the land; make them happy and prosperous and the whole country is happy and prosperous; let him be discontented and "in arrears” and this whole country is in the same box. In Georgia there is, no reason wfiy the smaller farmers sbould not be eminent ly independent by living at home, for there is hardly a farm product that by proper cultivation, cannot be produced on Georgia soil and in Georgia climate. One great draw-bock to farming is, every other class of people look down on the occupation in a condescending way: and some farmers train up their children to ^islike the farm life by ‘‘putting up a poor mouth” unceasingly about nothing in farming until the boy can hardly wait for long pants before he is hunting a job behind the counter or some other dressed up position. Thus some farmers aid the slight placed upon their occupation. Farmers talk up your farms just as much as the merchant does his goods; or the horseman his horse; or the law yer his side of the case; or the wheel wright his shop; or the life insurance agent his company, and you will learn to love your job; success wilt come to you; your boys will not go to town; dull care will be driven afar off and content wilU become your companion and life's rough road will become smoother and smoother os you near your Journey’s end.*—Ex. =$25.00= IN COLD CASH GIVEN AWAY.
