Inexpensive Trifles.
House decoration is now so gem ral.
that each family tries to mike their sur
roundiugs as dainty as possible; yet whi e
tnere are many trifles which ad i to th
looks, expense ii frequently a considera
tion. I will therefore try to giie some
hints for pretty articles, the cost oi which
is very smell. A pretty, and at the >au r
time us. ful adornment is a small orna
mental feather brush in a case, to hang up
in a drawing room. The small feather
brush or whisk can be bought cheaply,
and the case for it is mide of silver, gold
or brown perforated cardboard mats
which were origin lly sold to be orna
mented with ribbon slipped in or out
Fhc mat should be worked over with
embroidery silk, and afterward lined with
thin silk, matching the feathers of the
whisk in color Two sides of the mat
tire then gradually and gently bent to
gether, so as to make a hollow case open
at boi heads. Very narrow colored r.b
bon should be passed in and out in the
front, to apparently draw the two edges
together, and finish with a smart little
bow. A bow and loop of the same rib
bon should be added at the back, to
hang it up by. The whisk, when slipped
into the case, should be passed in handle
first, and downward so as not to disar
range the feathers. When wanted for use
it is drawn downward through the case
for the same reason. Another pretty
decorat on is a case to hold letters and flat
papers. This can be made of a brown
perforated cardboard mat. First line it
with colored silk. Almost any color looks
"well with old gold. Three of the corners
are then folded inward till they meet in
the middle like the points of a handker
chief sachet, the fourth being left un
folded by which to hang up the case to
the wall. Seeu at a distance, these wall
pockets have all the appearance of fine
Iretwork. Silk kerchiefs, now to be had
so cheaply and in artistic colors, make
very pretty lamp shades These silk
shades are only adapted for lamps that are
furnished with round globes or at any
rate that close at the top. Flower-shaded
globes are of course not suitable for
shades. The handkerchief chosen must
be laid flat on a table, and a circle the size
of the top of the globe cut out of the cen
tre of it. Iheho c thus made must be
neatly hemmed round, and if necessary
•the stitches can be, hidden by a gold band
or any little gimp-like ornamentation.
Then the edges of the kerchief must be
finished with a frill of the finest looking
laec or narrow silk fringe. The edge of
the hem may be bordered with arrow rib
bon, allowing the lace to stand up in
fiill. . One is made of a rose-colored silk
kerchief covered with bouillonne spotted
net, and trimmed with white lace and
rose-colored ribbon. Sky-blue or apple
greeu ribbon would look equally pretty.
Another for a lamp or caudle is bordered
w ith pale blue marabout feathers, a lace
flounce covers the top, and the side is
trimmed with a pale pink ribbon bow.

Remember, Alliancemen, that your en

strife among our membership, attempting
to blacken the fair names of your chosen
leaders. This is done to divide your
forces and Cripple your influence. Money
and corruption go hand in hand whcD

Oppression beyond endurauce is the
motive power or incentive to determined
resistance, and is clearly shown by the
unprecedented rapid coming together o(
the industrial classes of Kansas, where
the corn is fifteen cents a bushel and
burned for fuel, and where in many coun
ties eighty farms out of every hundred
are mortgaged and foreclosures made at
the rate of 200 a week in the State. Farm
ers are slow to move, but when driven to
resist the oppression, woe bo to the op
pressors.— Weekly Toiler.

i|c
What is the Alliance good for if it can’l
accomplish something on this line? Is it
any disgrace for it to go into politics for
the protection of the farming interests of
the country? All it needs to do is to be
ware that it is not hoodwinked by arch-
Bchcmers, who are sure to seek its influ
ence for their own personal aggrandize
ment. The prosperity of the u hole coun
try depends upon that of the farmers, and
we want them to take hold of the govern
ment and establish themselves dn an en
during basis of prosperity.— Letsburger,

Read a good word and a strong ODe for
the Alliance which we clip from the
Middle Georgia Argus: 1 'The people of
Butts county are more united now than
ever before on all questions. The Alliance
has done more than any one thing to bring
about this state of things.” This is just one
of the many good things which the
Alliance has done. A little later the
papers will say: “The people of Georgia
and the South are more thoroughly united
for their mental, moral, social and finan
cial improvement than ever before, and
the Alliance has done more than one thing
to bring about this state of affairs.” The
Alliance wants to do nothing but good,
and that good for all. —Southern Alliance

The following ruling set forth by Felix
Corput., Chairman Executive Committee
8. F. A., in the matter of five cents per
capita required for dues to the National
Farmers’ Alliance and Industrial Union,
will be read with interest: “In order to
meet the requirements of the Nutional
body, the State Fanners’ Alliance of
Georgia by resolution passed at its annual
meeting on the 22d day of August 1889,
increased the yearly dues of the County
Alliances in the sum of live cents per
capita, it becomes the duty of the state
secretary to charge tlio same to the va
rious County Alliances, arrearage on these
increased dues will debar the county from
representation as provided in Sec. 8, Ar
ticle 2, of the constitution and by-laws
for County Alliances.”
Washington dispatches say-protests are
coining in from every section against the
Butterworth “options'’ or “futures"
bill, which pieces a heavy license fee
upon dealers in futures, together with a
tax upon every pound or bushel of cer
tain speeded articles so bought or sold.
Its object is to break up the speculative
dealings or corners which have
taken place in the grain, cotton
and meat markets of lecont years,
.hat portion of the bill which relates to
cotton, in place of relieving the farmers,
only increases their burdens, and at the
same time should the bill become a law,
would terribly cripple one of the
south’s most important industry, the man
ufacture of fertilizers. Under the pres
sent practice fertilizers are shipped and
sold during the winter mouths for th>- en
suing cotton crop. The farmer has not, as
a rule, to pay cash for the same. To give
a cash note would compel him to mark
et his crop by a given date to meet his
obligations, a condition which the buyer
would be quick to take advantage of to
his detriment. What he does do is to
■give a cotton note, payable in cotton
at an agreed valuation per pound, but
since this is given before a plant is in the
ground, it would not come under the ex
emption clause. The present practice en
ables the farmer to pay a part, and often
an important part of his indebtedness
with his produce at a fair valuation, which
the fertilizer manufacturer then converts
into cash. Abolish this method, and the
grower becomes a victor indeed, while the
increased uncertainty of receiving
his pay injures directly the
manufacturers of the fertilizers.
The Butterworth bill is one of two im
portant measures recently reported from
the house agricultural committee. The
other is the Conger lard bill. The men
who favor the Butterworth bill, as a rule,
oppose the Conger lard bill. Both sides
want a (lay fixed for the house to con
sider the bill they favor, but want the
other laid aside. Those who favor the
lard bill are very much opposed to the
Butterworth bill, and the two factious of
the house are fighting each other’s bill
vigorously. For this reason it is believed
by many that neither of the two bills will
pass.

Whew you want a lawyer, <lo you aak all
the attorneys that you know to “make a hid”
ami then tiiiplov the cheapest? Do you not
rather look for the attorney whose skill, know
ledge of t lie law and personal character will
protect your interest V
Why does not the same idea apply to oth
er lines of business where confidence becomes
a factor in your dealings, for instance, in the
purchase or a Watch or a Diamond ? It can
not be denied that considering quality and
price one yard of cloth may he clear at four
cents, another cheap at. ten cents, one watch
dear at ten dollars, another cheap at twenty,
jjiow, to determine the question of cheapness,
we must consider:
Ist. The standing of the establishment which
sells the watch.
2d. The value of the guarantee to the pur
chaser of the watch.
31. The acknowledged merits of the watch
offered.
The best article protected by a strong and re
sponsible guarantee, will be found the cheap
est in the end.

covery.
Trying conditions these, under which to
offer the afflicted relief and cure. No ordi
nary remedy could swum itself under such
a guarantee. It would bankrupt its propri
etors! Not so with “Golden Medical Dis
covery.” Its beat edvertisement is the thou
sands of consumptives, in all ports of the
world, which it has restored to health,
strength ami happiness. To-day no other
medicine has so great a sale. Why? Bo
cause it docs just what it is guaranteed to
accomplish, otherwise, its sale on so peculiar
a plan as this would ruin its manufact
urers.
“Golden Medical Discovery" cures Con
sumption in all ffcs earlier stages, on common
sense principles. Being, according to all
recognised medical authority, a scrofulous
affection Of tho lungs, it is reasonable to
seek a remedy In those agents known to
prove most efficacious m conquering scrofu
lous disease affecting other parts and organs.
Now for Scrofula in all its myriad forms,
nothing lias ever yet been discovered to
compare with tho wonderful remedy already
mentioned. And especially is this true of
Lung-scrofula, or Consumption. It soothes
the cough, improves digestion, sharpens the
appetite, invigorates tho llvr, purifies tho
blood, cleanses the system of oil scrofulous
humors, and builds up the flesh and strength.
