Interest solicited.
Bartow makes more wheat than any
other county in the grand old State of
Georgia.
Bartow county has more and richer
minerals than any other county in the
Empire State.
The people of Georgia will heartily en
dorse the action of the present Legisla
ture looking to the education of the chil
dren of the State.
The E. & W. Railroad is hauling im
mense quantities of lumber. It runs
through some of the finest timbered sec
tions of the country.
Future generations will rise up and
call Dr. Felton blessed for the gallant
fight he has made in the present Legisla
ture for the education of the children of
Georgia.
Give Georgia six months of public
schools in the year, and it will accomplish
more for the State than a half dozen im
migrat’ou bureaus —although the latter is
a good tiding.
Bartow county has just cause to be
proud of her present Representatives in
both houses of the Legislature. She is
also justly proud of the splendid judge
she has given to the Cherokee circuit
proud of the live, honest Solicitor-Gen
eral she has furnished —proud of Bill Arp,
Sam Jones, and a host of other prominent
men we might mention. r ihe truth is
Bartow is the boss county of the Empire
State. _______
We are sorry—Hiat is—well, we don’t
know exactly how to put it; but we can t
comply with the sweet poetical invita
tion to consider a leap year proposition
from a eharmiug female writer of Atlan
ta. Truth is we are the proprietor of a
large and interesting family. If v\e
were not —then —well, we’ll —turn the
whole matter over to our bachelor friend
and predecessor, Douglas Wikle, Esq. —
for whom, no doubt, the touching epistle
was intended.
Senator Riddledergeii, of Virginia,
may be the worse for senatorial tea some
times, but on such occasions his wits do
not desert him entirely. The other day,
when a brother Republican was trying to
prevent him from offering a resolution
for the re-organization of the Senate on
Jan. Ist next, lie wanted to know if the
Republican thought he was drunk. He
received an evasive answer, and said:
“I may be drunk, or I may be excited,
butl neverget into a fight with a woman,
as the president of the Senate has.” He
alluded, of course, to the controversy
between Mr. Ingalls and Mrs. Whitney,
in which Ingalls showed a want of refine
ment, to say the least.
ON I UK RIGHT TRACK.
The Georgia Legislature is on the right
track. It is beginning to understand
that the great need of the State is a
better system of public schools. The
approprirtion bill which passed the
House Thursday adds $165,000, raised
by direct taxation, to the school fund
for 1889 and $330,000 for 1890.
The prospect is that the sources from
which the school fund is now derived
will yield a steadily increasing revenue.
In that event the public schools will
have, in 1890, very nearly $1,000,000
for their support.
This is not as much as they ought to
have. They ought to be kept open at
least six mouths of the year, and the
school commissioner estimates that sl,-
200,000 would be required to do that.
Perhaps the next legislature will be even
more liberal in the matter of public
scoools than the present one, and that
it will so increase the public school ap
propriations that Georgia's sons and
daughters will have a chance within the
next three years to get six months
schooling annually.
The announcement of this new depar
ture by the State with respect to her
public school system will do more to
attract the attention of the class of im
migrants that Georgia wants than all
the pamphlets the State can publish
describing her soil, climate and produc
tions. When Georgia’s public schools
are what they ought to be she will have
no occasion for holding immigration con
ventions or for the services of an immi
gration commissioner. Neither will her
people be overburdened with taxes for
school purposes, because the increase in
immigration will be so great that her
taxable property will be vastly more
than it is at present. The rate of taxa
tion, therefore, will not be larger than at
present, if so large.
The legislature need not lie afraid that
the people will not Sustain it in its new
departure. There will be some grumb
lers —there always are, whatever may be
attempted in the way of-progress —but
the great majority will be found to be in
hearty sympathy with this effort to give
their children educational advantages
equal to those enjoyed by the children of
any other State.

Dyspepsia
Makes the lives of many people miserable,
and often leads to self-destruction. Distress
after eating, sour stomach, sick headache,
heartburn, loss of appetite, a faint, “ all gone ”
feeling, bad taste, coated tongue, and irregu
larity of the bowels, are
UIStrCSS some of the more common
After symptoms. Dyspepsia does
_ ~ not get well of itself. It
catnip requires careful, persistent
attention, and a remedy like Hood’s Sarsa
parilla, which acts gently, yet surely and
efficiently. It tones the stomach and other
organs, regulates the digestion, creates a
good appetite, and by thus sick
overcoming the local symp- h
toms removes tho sympa- it;
thetic effects of the disease, banishes the
headache, and refreshes the tired mind.
“ I have been troubled with dyspepsia. I
had hut little appetite, and what I did eat
nrfr- distressed me, or did me
FSeaiT- little good. In an hour
burn after eating I would expe
rience a faintness, or tired, all-gone feeling,
as though I had not eaten anything. My trou
ble, I think, was aggravated by my business,
which is that of a painter, and trom being
more or less shut r.p in a SOUT
room with fresh paint. Last .
spring I took Hood’s Sarsa- <3 bOmdCil
rilla—took three bottles. It did me an
immense amount of good. It gave me an
appetite, and my food relished and satisfied
the craving I had previously experienced.”
