Mr. Blaine is talking pretty plajn to the Germans. "Jeems,” you are right—this time. % An exchange say-: “He who fails to blow his own horn the -ame will go unblown.’’ Y a. verily.

I ^ ar * er ‘ Some of the Georgia newspapers 1 ‘"el™ young lndiesof ew hve, , or i i.Ti i„ i (Joun., recently formed what is called speak of Machen, a lit’le town in Jas- • , , * , « ■ ... o I ft “Secret Union. Each girl nmdea per county, on ihe Covington & Macon railroad, as the Guthrie of Georgia. The point of resemblance doubtless is the rapidity with which each sprang into existence. Machen was not a barren waste, so to speak, one morn ing and a city the next, but it has grown quite rapidly. When the Cov ington & Macon railroad was project Columbus is preparing to celebrate the‘’glorious fourth” in grand style. We’re growing quite patriotic down this way. • The Alliance Advocate, referring to the three S’s, B’s and P’s, puts in a word for the three H’s. These stand for Home, Hog and Hominy. Good. A young lady in West Virginia lias become her father's aunt by marriage, as well as the great aunt of her sisters and of herself. She is 25 years old, and the other day she married her lather’s uncle, a gentleman of 75 years. The Woodrow row has broken out again in the southern assembly of the Presbyterian church, now in session at Chattanooga. Woodrow is hard to down. He bobs up in every l’rer.bv terian assemblage. Georgia editors will meet iu nnuunl re-union at Macon next Tuesday, the 28th. Quite an extensive trip is laid out for the “gang.” Through the courtesv the of Central Railroad of Georgia a train of Pullman'Palacc cars will he put at the service t f the quill drivers. Transportation has been ar ranged. from Macon to Birmingham, Ala., Memphis, Teuu., Kansas City, Mo., Topeka, Kansas, aud hack via St. Louis, Nashville, Chattanooga and other points. The trip will no doubt be a most enjoyable one. No man whose name ends with an •*n” was ever defeated for the presi dency, save by another man whose name had a like terminal-—Supersii lious Exchange. We’ll break the record in 1892. Ai any rate, we ll put Cleveland back, even if we have to drop the final letter and spell it Clevelan. » There are a great many who think as the Times.-Umon.Jacksnnville.from which th above is taken, that Cleve land will win in ihe great sweepstakes, to be run in 1892. A negro criminal forfeited his bail iu Alabama and fled to Kansas. The governor of the latter State refused to honor a requisition from Governor Seay, for trumped-up reasons, and is enthusiastically supported in his ac tion by the fervid newepaners of that red-hot renublieau State. One of them is quoted as saymg: “To what, effect did we fight that war if the down-trodden negro fugitives from southern cruelty arc to he forcibly dragged back there to dooms worse than death at the hands of those bar barous rebels?” The average Kansas republican gets madder and madder every year, and it would not be sur prising if-an army raised in thqt state should invade the South bcfoie very long, bent on arranging things to suit Kansas notions. It is possible, how* ever, that caution is as large a part of die Kansas patriot as hate.—Tcle- ed there was no such place. A few enterprising farmers lived in the neigh borbood of what is now Machen, but a' best it was only a rural settlement of half a dozen families Railroads are developers, however, and mere is no telling at what point along their routes thriving towns will be built When the Covington & Macon road was an established tmng, one of the stations was named lor the man who. probably, more than any other, was instrumental iti building the road. This man was Col K C. Machen. East fall the desirabiliiy ol the little station as a place of residence began 10 be appreciated, and to-day Machen lias stores churches, a school house, a warehouse and some handsome rest dences, and machinery has been pur chased lor car works, a cotton com press, an oil null and guano works. There is one respect in which Machen dues not resemble Guthrie, and tha' is in unheslthfulness. According to some accounts Guthrie mav have a pretty lug 1 rave yard 1 n a few years The Georgia Guthrie. 10 the contrary, is in one of the healthiest sections of the country. Oilier towns in Georgia, while they axe not going forward With the rapid -iri es of Guthrie, are making quue satisfactory progress. Tney are in creasing in population, and.they build new enterprises as rapidly as their purses will allow. I hey may not be on a boom, but they are by no means at a siand-till. It is very certain that their progress is not all on paper It is steady and solid. After all, this is probably the btsi hind of a boom. The Farmers’ Alliance and Educa tion. Nearly all ol the branches ot the armers’ Alliance in Georgia have ap parentiv lost sight of the fact that one of the chief purposes of the Alliance. ccordmg to its constitution, is to los- ter education. The Putnam county branch has not, however. It has start ed a movement to arouse greater in terest in education in the county, and committees have been appointed for al of the militia districts, to work among the people with' a view to es- ablishing schools in districts, if any, where there none, to improve schools already established and to quicken interest among both parents and chil dren in school matters. This is a proper move, and the probability is that the farmers can do more to push it to success than any other cla c s of people, because, in near ly every ccuntv gf the slate, and cer tainly in Putnam county, they consti stute the greater part of the popula- They will no doubt obtain the aid of nearly every other class, and it is 10 be hoped that an enthusiasm in tavor of education will be awakened that will result in better school advan tages and belter school attendance than has been the case for years. There is much more illiteracy among he while people i f Georgia than the people generally are aware of, and much of it is among the farmers and their families, the farmers being the most numerous class, and their chil dren having inferior school facilities besides being compelled to be at work irequently when they ought to be at school. A movement in the interest of education, therefore, is one iu the merest of the farmers’ children espe cially- 1'he example which the Putnam Al vow to marry withiu a year. Six have already found victims, four of whom eloped, and the other six are on the war path. It is dangerous for a young man to go outlie streets after sundown, unattended. Without in vading the sanctity of the young la dies’ make tip, we may state that it is also known, though just how the in formation was o itaiued is not stated, that each of the twelve wears a yellow garter as a talisman. It is claimed that a girl wearing a yellow garter is sure to get married within the year. It tliis assertion is generally credited, the demand for yellow garters will far exceed the supply. We expect to heat' of some sharp yankeo starting a manuiaetory to make them by whole sale. A Plea for the Bull Tongue. Editors Telegraph: Owing to the cool weather and heavy rains <5f the past two weeks, corn and cotton look badly. I think the new way of farming, which has been adopted by many, does not coital the old plan. They have thrown away the bull tongue, scooter and goofier shovels, which nnr forefather? used, and with which tltev made plenty to live on and some to spare. They always could count and money. The present plan of farming is to plant the largest area in cotton, ■’'then follow with corn, peas, potatoes and oats, in such amount as they can work-r-nud hut precious little work tin y get, because time and attention is given mostly to cotton Even the cottou is only sided with a turn-plow and afterwards cultivated with a scraper, notwithstanding the g iiund has never been thoroughly broken tin. In most cases they have more than they can properly work—this they discover when the rains of May and June begin. The grass grows with such rapidity that not one farmer in ten can command labor sufficiently to work it out. And tbon when the crop is made, gathered and sold hie pocket is just as empty as when he pitched his crop, notwithstanding he has labored hard. He attributes his failure to drought and un-toward cir cumstances, but the real cause lie had over cropped himselt, and had not used economy in cultivation. Jily plan is to plant less, manure Well, and work better, sell more and buy less. Then peace and prosperity will abide on the farm, and not until th:s has been accomplished will there be plenty at home.
