Organize. «’o say to any body of men, “in union there is strength," seems au msolt to their intelligence, but it is one of those truisms that our people seem to have forgotten. There is no organization for bnsi ness purposes of any eel of men io ibe community. Now that our merchants are reaching tbe quiet of tbe year would it not be a good idea for them to organix* tbejnselves into an association so that they can put t*>eir heads to gether for tboir common good? Tbo time for summer excursions is at band and such an orgaoizatiob as is suggested could easily have these excursions brought to Tbom asville instead of having them all run away from Tbomasville Such an association could deal with aod help Mr Bottoms and Mr Rudisill in their efforts to run excursions to Tbomasville. These are tbe meaus of benefit immediately in prospect. Other larger things, such as au establishment to buy verytbiog that Is produced in Thomas county, so that a farmer any other persou having any thing to sell would be sure to find a market bere, be it eyrop or po tatoes, coon skins or cotton. We have some enterprising ambitious merchants among the young men especially. Let them organiz* themselves making it strictly a merchant's association, leaving out hankers, lawyers, doctors and real estate meo. ^ P.B.I One of Wesley Hadleys back torsos was killed six miles from i ou tbe Bostou road Sunday.

There la aometbing in rianhood, whether of high or low degree, that rarely puts its tale of tbe love misses into words; but if we could get at the hidden hearts of average men, we should see that the want of love and cheer at home sends'them even more fre quently than their love of driok to tbe saloon around the corner. It may be a man's own failure to get on in life that has kept the over- crowded home to* small and poor for eomtort; it may be that over work and over-care have robbed tbe wife of charm and left her so depleted of love tbat she bas scarce ly enough for tbe children; never theless, maoy a working man knows tbat he is valued for the weekly wages he brings rather than for tbe tender care be feels for the wife and children depend ent upon him for support. How natural it is to grow silent, then morose, then hopeless, and then more or lees indifferent!

Some of tbe candidates wbo have been patted on tbe back during tbe campaign, will not be patted, bat “scratched" on elec tion day. A snake has been seen in Rome which measured nine feet io length. And the barrooms bays been closed in that town, too. Strange. Tbe first of May was character ized by strikes in many cities, both iu tbis country and Etirope. Labor is always restless on tbe 1st of May. Just why tbis is so L is not clear, but it is a fact all; tbe same. The memorial address of Editor Coleman of tbe Cedartowo Stand* ard, delivered at Sandersvilie, bas been complimented very highly. It was one of tbe moet eloquent, of tbe many trnly elo quent addressee delivered in Geor gia on Memorial day. Editor Coleman it not only a force ful writer, bat he is an ora tor, and one of tbe cleverest fel lows in Georgia. The Perry Home Journal makes tbie protest: “Ae ■..friend of Mr. Gnerrv, we protest against the proposition of Rev. 8am gJonee to •tart a band wagon in Jibs inter- of/Mr. Quarry's candidacy for governor. The regolation band wagon |is k vehicle Oiled wiib men who blow brass horns. A circus parade always follow# a band wagon. We do not desire vlotory 'in a horn,* nor do wo, want anything in tbo campaign that. .is suggestive of 'sounding brass and tinkling cymbals.' Please let tbe band . wagon stay' with the circus." mi
