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.

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.” (jEOIvCik A. Tage, Watertown, Mass. Hood’s SarsapariiSa Sold by all druggists. 01; six for 05.
