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.

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.

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.

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.”

A Couhant-American reporter has been
after Col. C. P. Ball, the lively receiver
and manager of the above road, with a
sharp pencil, several times since his re
turn, but he is always up to his ears in
business when in his office, and dashes
about so raoidly that it is difficult to get
a fair shake at him.
However we have learned enough to
state that the court has granted the
order for the issuance of receiver’s certifi
cates for the improvement of the line,
and this importantroad will be promptly

Col. Ball is just the man to push tli’s
