Anexcbangfl says Mme. Bernhardt doubt but that the manufacturers

Everywhere in Northeast Georgia,
the wheat and oat fieldB are growing
green under the environments of in
vigorating weather. A bounteous yield
is promised.
General Longslreet has returned from
the West and iB looking well. The old
war horse la toasted by the old soldiers
as much now as in the days he did such
valiant work for the Confederacy.
Scene in the State capitol: First offi-
•ial—**Si«, you ate a *
liar!” Second official—-‘Sir, I’m not
acquainted with yon, and, therefore, 1
refrain from knocking you into a dou
ble-bow-knot.” Exeunt omnes, breath
ing fire and brimstone.—[Tribune-of-
Rome.J Now, really this is cruel.
What on earth is geing wrong with
the preachers of Georgia? Armistead
and Carswell raised a row in Douglas-
ville, Sam Jones in a tow licked the May
or of Palestine, Texas, and now Dr. Haw-
tberne of Atlanta is to before a grand
jury to tell bow be knows that Whiskey
is sold in Atlanta alter ten o’clock.
For-sooth, the reverend sirs are forget
ting all the dignity of their high call
ing.
Georgia’s State geologists knock each
other on the head with their fists.
They reserve their hammers to knock
rocks on the head. But, if personal
rows are to be the-ahiv outcome of the
Geological Bureau, er whatever it is
called, wouldn’t it be well to abolish
it?—Trlbune-of-Rome. No, the de
partment ought net to be abolished at
all, but something ought to be done to
correct some evils that exist. Since
Dr. Spencer has given his side of the
question it seems that there has been
too much politics in the department to
suit him. The whole thing is in a
muddle.
STICK TO YOUR FIRMS.
The most striking feature in the
increasing population of our country
is the fact that tbe cities are being
crowded with citizens, while tbe
farms are being deprived of farmers.
A glance at statistics is enongb to
convince one of tbe danger of tbig
tendency, and to impress upon
those people who till tbe soil, the
necessity of tbeir sticking to tbe
farm.
A Northern paper, in giving its
reason for tbe tendency on tbe part
of our citizens to msb to tbe larger
give steady employment aud ready
money, but there is more dissatis
faction among laborers in tbe cities
than on the farms. They do not get
high wages ; they are frequently out
ot work ; their life is a miserable
one in many respects. Tbe farmer
is just as happy, aud in fact a great
deal happier. He can make a better
liviog on his farm, if he only knew
it. The soil of the country is rich
enough to give a harvest such as
will support bim and bis family.
The ailurementsof tbe manufacturing
city should not draw bim from bis
farm.
The price paid for farm products
is small, it is true, but tbe wages
given tbe mechanic are small like*
wise. And then tbe bouse rent is to
pay; fuel is high; necessaries of life
are precious; there is no such luxu
ry in tbe city as there is at tbe farm.
Tbe old farm bouse; the large wood
fire made of huge logs; tbe cows in
tbe pasture ; tbe chickens in the
yard; these are possessions tbe far
mer should cherish.
The reason assigned as to tbe so
cial advantages to be derived in*
cities is an unworthy one. There is
no higher type of society than in tbe
country life. A stalwart yeomanry
is tbe true bulwark of a nation. It
has been shown time and again that
tbe masses of people in a great city
are unstable aud lacking in patiiot-
ism. The city may be tbe best place
to use them, but from tbe country
come the finest types of muscle and
brain.
Tbe source of supply should be
enlarged as much as possible. If
tbe country is to be drained in order
te populate tbe cities, then decay is
snre to set in.
Tbe farmers of Georgia have little
to fear in tbe future, if they will stick
to tbeir farms.
We believe in tbe farmers; we
know they constitute the foundation
of the State’s prosperity. The fer
tile fields of Georgia,under the toneb
of tbeir bands will yield abundant
harvests,and in this manner increase
the prosperity of tbe State.
Stick to your farms. Do all you
can to lift tbe agricultural interests
of Georgia to the highest plane;
strive to better your condition in life;
and when Georgia feels that she
INTIMIDATION OF VOTERS-
Partisan Northern papers, since
tbe defeat of the Force bill, have
howled and raged about the intimi
dation of the negro vote in the South.
All this amounts to nothing with a
sensible man. It is but tbe vapor
ing of a disappointed old party that
is going to pieces as fast as the days
pass.
We would call attention to the
fact that in Massachusetts ajjd sev
eral Northern States a less per cent-
age of the entire vote is cast than in
any Southern State.
What causes this state of affairs ?
Intimidation ? When this mystery
is explained, we will convince any
man with a thimble full of brains
that the negro vote of the South is
not intimidated.

OUR FOREIGN POPULATION-
Tear by- year the scenes around
Castle Garden become more and
more animated, and the stream of
immigrants pouring into this coun
try from Europe becomes larger and
larger.
Some newspapers are harping tbeir
little tales of woe to a very silly tone
about these thousands of foreigners
that are coming to this country
They get scared because a few Chi
namen get drunk new and then and
get into a fight with coons about tbe
street, and call this a great race riot.
And from this they turn loose their
batteries against foreign immigra*
tion.
While it- is true that we have but
little use for Chinamen in this coun
try, and have received no good from
many other vagabonds that drift into
our ports on some unfavorable tide,
it is also true that America is &nou
ally getting thousands aDd tbous*
ands of her very best citizens from
foreign lands.
Take Athens as a point, of view.
Here we have a foreign population
that figures very notably in tbe pros
perity of tbe cily!s government.
THE SITUATION IN IRELAND. ]
The Irish question seem* to have
gotten into a very great muddle
lately, and the friends of Ireland
consider tbe outlook gloomy, but
still cot hopeless.
Ireland has a great many sympa
thizers in America, and her struggle
for home rule has always been
watched with great interest on this
side the waters.
The struggle of any people for their
independence arouses sympathy in
the hearts of a people who have
achieved theirs. Hence, America
looks with interest on the Irish ques
tion and its progress.
The Parnell trouble which has for
some time agitated all Ireland, has
succeeded in causing many dissen
sions in the ranks, and even Glad
stone, the great apostle of home rule,
is not anxious to continue the fight
in the face of so many internal dis
sensions.
The situation in Ireland at present
is a gloomy one, but is by no means
hopeless. With the lapse of time,
however, the Irish Nationalists and
the friends of home rale in England
may be reassured and strengthened.
Two years hence, the general elec
tion may show a change for the bet
ter in tbe Irish situation.

Do You Know How It Feels?
Rheumatism. Every one has heard
the word. ‘‘How’s your mother?”
‘‘Oh, she’s well except her- rheuma
tism.” How carelessly the answer is
given. Do you know how it feels to
have rheumatism?. Oh! it’s terrible,
the swelling and the excruciating pain
of ankle, knee, elbow and shoulder, just
as if each point was a bundle of irritated
nerves, each one seemingly bent on
Athens will get the Federal Court.
At least that is the way it looks now.
The committee of citizens, composed
of Judge A. S. Erwin, Mayor Brown
and Mr. Barrow returned last night
from Washington and are very hope
ful.
Judge Erwin when seen yesterday
said ‘‘yes the Federal Court is almost a
certainty.
‘•Dr. Henry Carlton, onr worthy
senator, is very popular with both
Democrats aud Republicans and to
gether with the help of Gov. Colquit
and Gov. Brown who have interested
themselves in our behalf we may count
on the Federal Court.
‘‘While in Washington the whole city
was -hrowu into mourning by the death
ofSecretary Windotn. ^
‘ This prevented the General Judiciarv
Committee from meeting on Monday,or
we would have transacted our business
sooner and perhaps more definite action
would hare been taken.
“Athens will certainly be benefltted
by getting the court. Prisoners in this
section instead of being carried to At
lanta will be Drought here besides a
large army of witnesses will be saved
J the great trouble of going to and re
turning from Atlanta.
“There are now only two Federal
courts in Georgia, one in Atlanta and
one in Macon and by Athens having one
will bring our city into greater promi
nence.
“Yes, I think you may say that Ath
ens will get tbe court. This department
if located here, will not only benefit
Athens in the way of legal transactions
hut will necessitate a government build
ing and help out the appearance of the
city.
“Athens certainly ought to have and
will have the Federal court.”
Athens would be thrown back half a m ® re pain than the other. Lay-
... , . , . mg awake all night longing for day-
eentury if her foreign population light, aching* too severely to sleep,

were taken from her. They are loyal,
patriotic, enterprising Americans.
While are believe therefore that it,
would be wise to restrict imtrigra-
tion in some way so aq o keep out
the element that is raising so much
trouble in tbe West, we cannot for
get the good citizens that come to
this country through the gates of
Castle Garden. We believe in for
eign immigration. We have too ma
ny broad fields, rich mines, and va
rious advantages that are undevel
oped, and we need every honest.hard-
working man and every good woman
that can tome to ns, be they from
Germany, France, England,Scotland,
j Timbucioc, or Turkey,
applying liniment every half hour
to temporarily relieve the agony. Pray
ing, cursing, turning, twisting, hut n»
ease, no comfort. Wbat is it that causes
rheumatism ? Ah, there arc a thousand
causes. What is it that cures rheuma
tism ? Thank God, there is at least one
cure. It is called B. B. B., or Botanic
Blood Balm. It has cured more cases of
rheumatism than any other known
remedy. Try it. Do not * uffer longer.
J. H. Laine, Dawson, Gu., writes:
“I suffered with rheumatism in my
shoulder and general debility. Five
bottles B. B. B., improved my health
and the rheumatism left me.”

Only 50c. a bottle, ai John Crawford & Oo.
Wholesale and Retail Drug Store.
Madison county furnished quite a
thrilling shooting affair on Wednesday
night.
It seem* that Lewis Sims, a desperate
negro, had been living on the planta
tion of Mr. James Johnsor, and the other
day had determined to move to Mr
Bose Matthe •vs. Air. Matthews came
down to Mr. Johnson’s and looked at
the negro’s contract and then told Mr.
Johnson that by right the negro’s ser
vices could still be required and hence
he would have nothing to do with him.
The negro came to Mr. Johnson
Wednesday morning and told him he
was going to leave and started to move
his thing*, when Mr. Johnson told him
he could not do that. They had some
words and the negro jumped on Air.
Johnson who stood near by. Mr. Tom
Johnson, a son of Mr. Jini Johnson, en
gaged in tbe^ftght, only to be pulled off
by Lewis Sims’ wife.
At this juncture, Mr. Jim Johnson
pulled his pistol and fired at the negro.
The negro grabbed the pistol aud turned
it on the two white men. They ran for
their lives, aud Sims went away cursing
and swearing vengeance.
Last night Sheriff Brooks went to
arrest Sims and a posse of men went
with him.
He called upon the negro to give him
self up, but the only response was the
loud report of" a double-barrelled shot
gun, and .he whizzing shot tore through
the sheriff’s overcoat, narrowly missing
the body.
The sheriff retut ned the fire from a
heavy pisto: and when the smoke cleared
away expected to see the negro lying
dead betore him.
However, the negro continued to ad
vance, and the sheriff ordered his men
to fire. A volley from several guns and
pistols followed, and it is a miracle that
the negro did not fall. But,
although wounded he fired Dig pistol,
and Mr. Richard Stevens, one of the
Sheriffs po*ae fell, with a bullet through
•his knee.
The negro then ran into Mr. Mat
thews house, followed by the Sheriff
and his men. _
They met Mr. Matthews at the door
and he told them to go along and come
bac: tbe next morning and he would
see that the negro was given up.
Th*y did so, and returned yesterday
morning, but the bird had down.
It is not known whether tbe negro is
dangerously wounded or not. If he is
not, he certainly carries a tough hide
around with him for he was shot by five
or six men.
They have not given up tbe pursuii
but will hunt the negro down and hail
him over to {ustice.
