The crowded condition of our columns —caused by a rush of advertisements at a late hour —necessitates the omission of much important matter intended for this issue. But this condition of things will be of short duration, ad when thespring openings are over, the paper will contain more reading matter than ever. Foil ten years we have been urging the people of Georgia to do more for our Confederate veterans, and we are greatly delighted at the movement recently in augurated to establish a home for needy old soldiers. It is the right thing exactly, and the Constitution struck a popular chord when it began the agitation of this noble enterprise. A CON J KDKKATK HOME. TheCoi uant-A meric a \ has often urged the duty of Georgia to her Confederate veterans. We have just read a most in teresting communication in the Macon Telegraph, on the subject of the estab lishment of a home for disabled Confed erates by the State. We heartily endorse the suggestion. The writer is an ex-Confederate soldier who has had exceptional opportunities to ascertain the condition of his old com rades in this State. He presents some facts which show how Georgia troops suffered during the civil war and how few ol the gallant men who went to the field from this State came back. Most of those who did return have conquered poverty and would not now receive any assistance, but some of them have not been so fort unate. Broken in body and limb, with health shattered and the flower of their manly strength .blighted, they are left helpless and dependent. The Statghas done something for them —but not enough. Our correspondent thinks there ought to be a Confederate Veterans’ Home in Georgia. He is right. Such an institution can be established and sup ported if proper effort is made. There are thousands of map, and thousands of women, too, in Georgia who would gladly contribute to such a cause. Only a small portion of those veteiuns who receive aid from the State would probably apply for admission to the home, but there are those who m“ed such a shelter and support. They are com paratively few in number, and live amid a prosperous generation, which has grown up since they were maimed and broken. * They are a sacred charge upon us and we will be false to ourselves if they are permitted to suffer. As our cor respondent. says these heroes should have “at least a comfortable place to die in.” We are confident that a general discus sion of this subject would arouse a popu lar interest that would soon result in the establishment of a Confederate Home in Georgia. We hope the press of Georgia will agitate the matter. A movement inaugurated in Atlanta, for building a home for needy old confed erates, is meeting with favor on every hand. Nearly $20,000 have been raised. Everybody should have a chance to as sist. in such an enterprise. Maj. A. M, Finite and theeditors of the Couu ant- AmErtß-aN will receive contribu tions for this purpose, acknowledge their receipt through these columns and for ward to Atlanta. A dispatch from Helena, Montana, re ports: News of rich placer diggings in the Bear Faw mountains, fifty miles north of Fort Benton, has been received. Parties arriving had in their possession large quantities of gold dust, which they had taken from the placer diggings re cently discovered bv them. The Bear Paw lake, in the black hills, are a group of mountains, each lying about the same distance from the range. Edward L. Buford, son of Rev. A. J. and E. K. Buford, of Grassdale, Bartow county, died of pneumonia April 2nd, aged eleven years. A child of bright mind, quiet and conscientious, called away while so young to come up higher to a brighter world. He is sadly missed in the school room as well asin the family circle. The parents have the sympathies of the entire community. 4fc.. The Cutest Tittle Things. “Cute”! he echoed. “Well, I don’t kuow as the adjective would have oc curred to me in just that connection. But it you mean that they do their work thoroughly, yet make no fuss about it; cause no paiu or weakness; and, in short, are everything that a pill ought to be, and nothing that it ought not, then I agree that Pierce’s Pleasant Purgative Pellets are about the cutest little things going 1 THE FARMERS’ ALLIANCE. What the Convention 111 cl at ita Meeting; in At Imiita Lftnt Week. The State Alliance of Georgia held a most notable and important meeting in Atlanta last week, with vice-President Livingston presiding, and a full repre sentation from nil the county alliances — representing 80,000 of the best farmers in the Empire State. The discussions were marked by wis dom, justice and moderation, but there was evident On every hand the determi nation to assert rights, and stick to gether to secure them. Not having the room to give the pro ceedings in full, we summarize the most important ae*s, and follow* them with the resolutions, the “Olive Bill,” etc. It passed a resolution condemning the iniquitous bagging trust. It adopted cotton cloth as the future covering for the cotton of the South. So much for the jute trust. It hit the monopolists on every side. It passed a resolution approving the Olive bill, and recommending its passage as a law. It referred to the railroad syn dicate as the enemy of the farmers and of the State. It appointed a committee to investi gate the fertilizer question ; to report on prices, utility, and adaptability to tltm soil of various brands; and to arrange for doing away with middle men, and so reducing the cost of fertilizers to the farmers. It passed resolutions expressing satis faction at the great progress of the Alli ance. The committee appointed to take into consideration the subject ot baling cotton beg leave to make the following report: We recommend the adoption of the following resolution: Resolved Ist, Tiiat, we recommend the use of cotton only as a covering tor cot ton. 2d, That we recommend no change in the size of the cotton bale. 3. That a committee of ten of our best business men be appointed to take in hand the matter of a supply of cotton bagging, and make the best possible ar rangement for the corning season. L That we prefer bagging forty-four inches wide if it be practicable to obtain it. 5. That the subject of ties be referred to the same committee. fr. That said committee use their best endeavors to make arrangements with the cotton exchanges of the world with reference to tare on bales packed in bag ging lighter than jute. 7. That we pledge ourselves to stand by the committee in its action. Under these resolutions the following gentlemen were appointed to carry out the purposes indicated: W. J. Northen, Sparta; R. W. Everett, Fish; W. A. Wil son, Americas; J. T. DeJarnet.te, Eaton ton; W. It.Gorman,Geneva; J. P. Jones, Newnan: R. M. Brown, Fort Gaines; T. E. Winn, Lawrencevillo; A. S. Porter, Covington, and W. E. 11. Searcy, Griffin. At a meeting of this committee it was determined to open correspondence with manufacturers, who would undertake to supply the necessary amount of cotton bagging, or any part of it, in time for the next season. Any parties desiring to enter into the manufacture of suitable cotton covering for cotton, in this or outside of it, will please communicate at once with some member of the com mittee named above, stating amount to be furnished, weight, general character and probable cost. It may be well to say the earnestness of the farmers in the chauge they have in augurated guarantees the permanent use ofcotton as acovoringforcotton. It may be of further interest to say that dele gates from Louisiana and Texas, in coun sel with the committee of the Georgia Alliance, indorsed its action and assured us of the co-operation of the farmers from those States. The committee, therefore, desires toen eourage the establishment of factories to meet the demands for this new product and they will cheerfully give their aid and co-operation to such enterprises, properly inaugurated for this purpose. THE OLIVE BILL.

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 OlStreSS some of the more common After symptoms. Dyspepsia does - not get well of itself. It baling 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 ®ffk overcoming the local symp- . toms removes the sympa- HGaCiacnO thetic effects of the disease, banishes the headache, and refreshes the tired mind. “ I have been troubled with dyspepsia. I liad but little appetite, and what I did eat distressed me, or did me h goo<i ’ In au hour OUm 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 from being more or less shut up in a room with fresh paint. Last spring I took Hood’s Sarsa- StQfTiaCn ri’ila—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.” George A- Page, Watertown, Mass. Hood’s Sarsaparilla Sold by all druggists, g 1; six for $5.
