If the democratic party should do noth
ing more than wean John Kelly, and
ring this campaign, it would in itself be
a glorious victory.
The French are very much disturbing
the peace and quiet of the Celestials at
Foo-Chow, and the prospects are boom

Bishop George F. Pierce is reported as
being seriously ill with symptoms of ty
phoid fever. Hus friends are alarmed
about his condition.
Blaine is tenderly watching after his
interest in the State of Maine. Defeat
with the loss of his own State, he doubt
less thinks, would be an almost unbeara
ble rebuke.
TVith abundant crop prospects, we
can cheerfully look forward to next j ear
as one of peace and plenty, with no po
litical wrangles to poison and disturb the
social atmosphere.
Malione’s influence in Virginia is grow
ing delightfully small, in fact, so much
so that it now compares in size, very fa
vorably with the physical man, indeed it
seems that the physical man is the larger
of the two.
The unanimous nomination by accla
ination of Hon. Judson C. Clements, for
congress, speaks the wishes of the people
of this district. He has made a faith
ful reprNsentative, and the people are
for him.
Col. Litt C. Jones, claim agent of the
Western & Atlantic railroad died at his
home in Atlanta last week. Col. Jones
was a man of generous and noble im
pulses, ever ready to oblige a friend or to
do a charitable deed. No man in Atlanta
was more universally popular than he,
and by his genial, frank, open-hearted
life won scores of friends over the State,
who will mourn his loss.
BLAINE AS PRESIDENT.
Unless actuated by mercenary motives,
or governed by prejudice and an unnat.
ural greed for office, evexy sensible man
of either party must feel it to be bis
duty to vote against Blaine. To put at
the helm of this mighty republic a man
so brilliant, so erratic, so avaracious, so
unscrupulous in designs and conduct; so
aggressive, so filled with incandescent
and glittering magnetism, will be very
much like building a fire in a powder
house. Every sensible man must see
that his election would menace this
country with intestine demoralization
and foreign war. Incited by an inordi
ate thirst for glory and an abnormally
extravagant idea of the fear that he
would be able to inspire in the breasts of
foreign potentates, he would be sure to
hoist the belligerent American eagle, and
proceed at once to bumble the British
lion. This he would do in the interest
of his dynamite friends in the campaign,
whose cause he has already espoused
with so much zeal and alacrity. In such
an event foreign complications would be
increased, commerce paralyzed, confi
dence destroyed, borne industries pros,
trated, and the whole country dropped
into universal depression and distress.
All this may sound like exaggeration,
but to those who have studied the mor
als of Mr. Blaine by a close analysis of
his public acts and private conduct, the
picture <vill not appear overdrawn.
In addition to this a wide field will be
thrown open to corporations and capital
ists of the country to absorb the sub
stance of private industry and to manip
ulate the public securities for personal
emolument.
That Mr. Blaine will be able and will
ing to bring about all this, no sane man
can doubt. He is certainly the shrewd
est trickster now living in any country
upon the face of the earth. Witness the
fact that all of his companions in guilt
were sWept away into the waste basket,
while he rose the higher on their down
fall and shone the brighter by reason of
his incomparable corruption; witness the
fact that on the pay of a congressman he
grew into a millionaire; and lastly, wit
ness the fact that his throne is a radiant
and high one, and that his worshipers
are almost countless.
To sum up our advice is: ‘’Beware x>t

THE TATTLES TALKS.
Plea for Farmcrs-Tribote to TTomaß-JLrm
in a Sling—A Kind Fanily
I want; to ask the merchants and busi
ness men to give the farmers a chance,
and wait on them patiently for two or
three months yet before pressing them
with law suits. I see how hard they are
working, and know how scarce money is.
For the past six months there has been
less money in circulation than I ever saw
before. It has been, and is now, a mat
ter of impossibility for farmers to pay
their debts. Borne of them have been
pressed and their property forced to sale,
but where this has been done property
has been mercilessly sacrificed, and sold
for about one fourth its true value. This
is not from a lack of confidence in the
country and the future, but because the
circulating medium of the country is
locked up, and no money can be had.
Our farmers have worked nobly this year
and three more months will put them on
safe ground. They need and deserve
just now, a reasonable indulgence from
their creditors. Promises were made to
be fulfilled at wheat harvest. The price
was so ruinously low that it brought no
money when sold. The fall crops are
now the dependauce. I have been among
the farmers and I know that the man
who shows them a reasonable living is
the man who will get his money first.
I have it in my heart to pay an hum
ble, grateful tribute to woman. Recent
ly I have been brought to think and made
to know how noble and self-sacricing she
can be, and is always willing to be when
occasion demands it. There is magic in
a woman’s touch, there is sympathy in a
woman’s look, there is melody in a wo
man’s voice, there is medicine in a wo
man’s smile and there is a world of ten
derness and feeling in a woman’s tear.
I grant they are sometimes giddy, some
times wayward, and almost always inde
pendent; but arouse a woman’s sympa
thy and her face is at once painted with
a halo and radiance that found its birth
place in heaven, her hands are outstretch
ed to do deeds that would make an angel
smile. In sickness and adversity they
shine transcendant. When man is shorn
of his strength, how blessed it is to lean
on woman’s sympathy and love! How
delightful it is in the cool retreat of home
when the fever burns, and the body is
racked with pain, to feel the tender touch
and hear the sympathetic voice that
comes like music between the rifted
clouds! Woman, noble woman! She
shall ever have a consecrated place in my
heart, and shall ever receive the homage
of my soul.
“If God lives in light and rides the storm,
Then God is God although he be
Enshrined within a woman’s form,
Aud claims glad reverence from me.”
Perhaps it will be no harm to say I
have my arm in a sling. I indulged in
the luxury of a fall some ten days ago,
that resulted somewhat disastrously to
my left shoulder, and I have been pet
ting it ever since. My suffering at times
has been most intense, and I almost felt
that I would have been willing to ex
change shoulders with the famous heavy
weight shoulder-hitter, Sullivan. But I
am better now, thank you, and prefer to
keep my own shoulder. If any of my
readers ever happen to such a misfortune
as mine, I advise them to let the acci
dent happen as near the residence of
Capt. Tom Lyon as possible. It was
my good fortune to be near his home,
and it will ever be a source of congratu
lation to me that I fell into such splendid
hands. His amiable and charming wife
treated me with such kindness and ten
derness that I shall ever hold myself her
grateful servant. When I was carried
from the buggy into the house my suf
fering was so intense as to almost drive
me into the lockjaw, but by her care and
attentions the pains were soon alleviated
and I found myself resting easy, Capt.
Lyon has an elegant and tastily arranged
home with modern conveniences. The
surroundings are beautiful, and for a
comfortable and convenient summer res
idence it is surpassed by no place in the
county. A bold clear spring, a good or
chard, fme cattle, rich land, pleasant
scenery and good improvements are
some of the attractions of this place.
But the best thing about it and the one
that impressed me most was the kind
hearted, generous and obliging family
who did me so many favors. They stole
my heart away completely.
Tattler.
Capt. D. W. K. Peacock has been ap
pointed, by the governor, commissioner
for the seventh congressional district to
the New Orleans Exposition, vice Dr.
Leland, deceased. Geo. H. Aubrey
takes Capt. Peacock’s place as commis
sioner for Bartow county.
It is certainly a fact that there are
more candidates for the office of coroner
in Bartow county than ever before. Our
population is, most assuredly, besprink
led with patriots of the truest type.
WHEAT CHOP OF THIS YEAR.
S. W. Tallmadge presents the follow
ing; figures as the final estimate of the
wheat crop of the United States for 1884.
The figures are based on official reports
made within a few days by State agri
cultural departments and statistical agents
of the different States and Territories.
The report shows the total production of
winter wheat to bo 380,000,000 bushels,
and spring wheat 150,000,000 bushels.
This makes the total yield of the coun
try fully 25,000,000 bushels more than
ever produced, 130,000,000 more than
last year’s crop, and 80,000,000 more than
the avfcrugC) crop for the past five yto.
IN SALTPETBE CAVE.
THE WONDERFUL CAVERN NEAR
KINGSTON.
A Merrjr Ptenle Party Spend a day There—
Personals.
The stillness of the summer afternoon
around the month of Saltpetre cave was
broken by gay laughter as a merry crowd
of picknickers gathered there to explore
it. The massive natural masonry of the
grand arched entrance fills the beholder
with awe, and fits him to appreciate the
subterranean wonders of the place. The
descent to the grand reception room is
some sixty feet down a winding and rug
ged way. As this descent is made the
air grows perceptibly cooler, and when
the bottom is reached one almost regrets
that an overcoat was not brought along.
The thermometer stood at about 95 that
evening, but it was not over G 5 in the
bottom of the cave. Our little party
was there to explore. About half of us
had never been in the cave before, and
we were particularly anxious to investi
gate, so, with a bright lantern and a
flaring torch, with Mr. T. M. Smith as
guide, we entered the darkness, which
was so thick it could almost be felt. \Ye
entered first the large “Indian ball
room” with its irregular walls and smooth
floor, which seemed large enough to ac
commodate a thousand dancers. This
must have been at one time a beautiful
room before the sparkling walls were
smoked black by the torches of explor
ers. From there we passed up a steep
declivity and through a narrow passage
way into a smaller, but more beautiful
apartment. There were signs of stalag
mites and stalactites, but most of them
had been broken oft* and carried away
by curiosity hunter’s. This room was
also blackened by the smoke of the
torch. It is impossible at this time to
remember the names of the different
rooms and apartments, but for one hour
we wandered through this solemn and
mysterious underground realm, at every
step finding something to excite our
wonder and inspire our awe. Some
times rough, jagged rocks, seemed to
overhang and shut out our way, and we
would abruptly turn aside into a beauti
ful chamber. Sometimes we would
creep along half bent for some distance
aud suddenly enter a grand amphithea
tre whose roof was so far away that it
was almost invisible. We wandered on
and on, filled with a splendid admiration
and awful reverence as the hidden mys
teries of this place revealed themselves
to us. “The Fat Man’s Misery,” “The
Squaw’s Bridal Chamber,” “The Lover’s
Leap,” “The Grand Column,” “The
Chief’s Council Chamber,” “The Rock
Bound Coast,” “The Miser’s Money
Chest,” “The Dungeon,” and many
other places of interest claimed our at
tention. It would require far more skill
than the writer possesses to present a
satisfactory description of the attractions
of the cave. One could imagine that he
was wandering through some ancient
castle of irregular construction and care
less design. The darkness lends it an
air of weird loneliness. The spirit of
laughter and jest that pervaded our
crowd at the entrance had gradually died
away, and the lights flared on solemn,
awe-struck faces. We had found our
way back to the “Ball Room” and sat
down to rest. Fortunately, there were
several splendid voices in the party and
they were disposed to sing. The song
was started by a strong voice aud the
different parts were caught up by the
little crowd. Not being musical we lay
down outside of the circle and listened.
The whole place became full of the mu.
sic. It seemed that invisible choristors
caught up the words, and from every
room, and cavern, and grotto, and hall,
and tower came back the echoing sound
until the whole inside of the mountain
was swelling and breatlring with a grand
chorus of a thousand voices. With our
head resting on a stone we watched the
little party of ten singers and wondered
if so much music could come from them.
The lights had burned low and were
flickering; the faces of the party
looked strange and almost ethereal.
It required very little stretch of imagi
nation to people the cave with myriads
of invisible singers whose angelic voices
were aiding the singers around us to
make up the mighty anthem that was surg
ing and rolling through the cave. When
the song was ended a silence fell on the
singers, and the echoes were heard sob
bing in the dim dark distance as if it
were a requiem for the song. It was
getting late ard we hurried away to the
place of entrance. Borne of our com
panions who had not gone in were gayly
calling us to go. The light of the outer
world burst upon us, our dim lights went
out, the gloomy, tomb-like feelings of
the cave left us as readily as we pull off
a wet rubber coat, and as we climbed
out into the light some of the younger
members of the party burst forth with,
“There’s gold in the mountain, there’s
silver in the mine,” etc., and we soon
found ourselves as merry as when we
entered. Baltpetre cave is truly a won
derful place. There are hundreds of
people who live and die in Bartow coun
ty who have no conception of its gran
deur. We advise our readers to see it.
No description can give an idea of its
interior. It is not onlybeautiful, but pic.
turesque and grand.
Personals.
Mack Johnson contemplated the
“Lovers Leap” with a sad eye and a
dreamy loneliness.
“The Fat Man’s Misery” excited ap.
prehensions in Theo. Smith’s mind that
he would have to turn back, but he
passed through by a tight squeeze; “he
did, certain.”
Owing to a crippled finger, Will Gra
ham couldn't get any further than the
entrance—neither could his girl. You
naughty children.
The young ladies of the exploring par
ty were true grit, and • kept pace with
the boys wherever they went.
Charlie Wikle wants to form a stock
company and improve Saltpetre cave,
like the caverns of Lurav, and make it a
place of national resort.
Frank Anderson said the reason we
all looked so weird and angelic-like in
the cave was because the torches smoked
our faces black in streaks.
Theo. Smith was so completely ex
hausted when he came out that he had
to desist after finishing his second water
melon.
Your humble scribe was so badly dis
figured when he reached the bottom ot
the hill, that he was unable to reach
home that night and had to stop over by
the way and send for a doctor. Only a
fall, thank you.
The visiting young ladies who went in
the cave were Miss Fannie Davidson, of
Selma, Miss Bessie Caldwell, of Jackson,
Tenn,, and Miss Corrie Hoyt, of Atlanta.
Doug. Wikle was particularly atten
tive—to his Sunday pants.
Harris Best went on top of the cave
instead of going in. He said the view
was better.
Miss May Johnson, Miss Mamie Nor
ris and Miss Charlotte Kirkpatrick were
the home girlpt of the party. They are
a trio that world be hard to match.
We are by falling like the boy was by
stumping his toe, we like to do it, be
cause it feels so good after it quits hurt
ing—only it took it most too long to quit
this time.

President and General Business Manager, he is well and favorably known all over
the country as one of the best Carriage Builders in the South.

shaping up our materials, we are enabled to sell first class work cheaper than any
house in the United States will sell the same class of work. We do not propose to
build cheap shoddy work at all. All our work is being built with an eye to dura

LIVERY MEN.
I have used R. H. Jones’ work for a number of years, and of all Buggies that
I have bought from different Factories all over the United States, it is the only one
that stands the hard use of Livery satisfactorily. I don’t believe the world can beat
him for good honest work.

This certifies that I ran one of Col. R. H. Jones’ make of Buggies twenty
seven years, and then swapped it back to him in part payment for anew one. Ido
say he makes the best work I ever saw. _

I used one of R. IT. Jones' make of Buggies fifteen years and sold for
$50.00. It never cost me anything for repairs during that long time. I believe
them to be the best buggies made. R. McGregor.
