It seems that New York Democracy
can get along O. It. without the mug
wumps.
Flogging seems to have been gener
ally adapted ns the puuishment for wife
beating. ’Tis well.
The average Congressman, wrapped in
his mantle of statesmanship, is marching
toward Washington.
Rome has swailowed up Desoto, and
now some of the Romans want to
play Jonah aud the wliale.
Billy Mahone now threatens to leave
Virginia. This weuld be a glorious calam

The Macon Telegraph has “got up
something” on Governor McDaniel at
last. He’s a prohibitionist,
Macon don’t like the way the State
Agricultual Society runs its fairs, and
proposes to get up one on her own hook.
The evident lack of noise on the part
of the New York Democrats fooled us.
We did’nt know they were on a still

Rev. Sam Jones will cross the Continent

California.
The two evening papers of Atlanta

The glorious victories for those Demo
crats in. Virginia and New York on last
Tuesday, should make our able President
feel good. They are evidences that busi
ness interests of the country feel perfectly
secure in the hands of a Dcmocaatic ad
ministration —and further, that Mr. Cleve
land has given satisfaction to the conserv
ative elements.
A few so-called fanatics are preaching
that men can and ought to live without
sin, and the balance of the church is
exhausting the vocabulary of sarcasm and
bitterness to bemean them. It would be
•well for all of us to hear the words of
good old John Wesley, who said, “If
we be fools to believe the doctrine and
enjoy the blessing of entire sauctitication,
be charitable enough to let us alone in
the enjoyment ol our i'uily.”
BARTOW COUNTY FARMERS.
It is gratifying to note the development
of a progressive tendency among our Bar
tow county farmers. Not being content
with the progress that weuld result from
a strict and secluded attention to the de.
tails of a purely agricultural life, some of
them, about a year or more ago, organized
community clubs to meet monthly at the
residences of the various members. At
these meetings subjects pertaining to agri
culture were discussed and the members
com Dared experiences in their varied
farm enterprises. Prizes were offered for
the best yield from one acre of corn, cot
ton, wheat and other farm products, thus
producing a generous spirit of competition
that has resulted in much good and im
proved their methods of farming. They
have made another step in their advance
forward by organizinga county association
composed of all of the community clubs in
the county. This association will not, as
we understand it, do away with smaller
clubs, but will be an occasional reunion
of them all for the purpose of a general
discussion of agricultural topics and an
interchange of experiences. They further
propose to appoint a committee whose du
ty it shall be to purchase all fertilizers and
farm implements that may be needed by
members of the association at wholesale
prices, thereby saving the profits of the
middlemen. We repeat, this is a progres
sive step by our farmers and one that can
best result in much permanent good and
a great saving to them.
The enterprising farmers of Wisconsin
procured last year the passage of a law by
the legislature of that State, providing for
the holding of farmers’ institutes. The
place of proceedure calls for the holding
of winter meetings, at which skilled lec
turers are to talk on purely agricultural
subjects. The project has been placed on
a fair road to success and they expect to
derive much benefit from it.
As the shoddy prejudices that once
existed against agriculture and agricultu
ralists fade before a realization of the true
dignity of the occupation, farmers them
selves marshal arguments in their own in
terest by such wise action as the above.
It has been found to be of the utmost ben
efit to doctors, lawyers, preachers and
men of almost all other pursuits to meet
at times in dignified assemblage for com
parison of view's and study of other meth
ods. There is no earthly reason why the
same benefit should not result to farmers
who met for the same purpose in the
same dignified way.
The old truths that men advance just in
proportion as they mingle their thought
wdth their labor applies with greater force
now than in the primitive days of its dis
covery. The farmer, no less than the man
of alleged intellectual pursuits, needs to
be wide-awake, active and energetic, and
as it is only the fool who refuses to profit
by experiences of those around him, the
testimony, submitted m such deliberative
session, would be of the utmost value.
Nature made agriculture a healthful, hon
orable and innocent pursuit. It remains
for man not to be distanced in the roll of
modern progress, but by the introduction
of such methods and principles as are
found profitable in other professions to
place it in the foremost rank of occupa
tions. As the farmers prosper, so prosper
the country.
THE PRESIDENT'S VOTE.
President Cleveland is the second
president since Buchanan who left the
Capital and journeyed home to vote.
Buchanan returned to Lancaster to vote
while President, but alter him no Presi
dent voted while in office until Arthur,
who voted regularly in New York city.
President Lincoln, who succeeded
Buchanan, never saw his home in Spring
field after he left it to be inaugurated
President. Andrew Johnson, although
a party man, did not return .. to the
Greenville hills to vote his party ticket.
General Grant never voted after 1860,
when he was a Breckenridge Democrat,
until 1880, when he voted in New York.
He had never voted the Republican
ticket when he was dlected President,
and did not vote it, or any other ticket,
until nearly four years after his retire
ment from office.
President Hays did not go to Ohio to
vote when President, and General
Garfield did not live until a general
election after he entered the Presidency.
President Arthur not only went to New
York to vote on election day, but he
occasionally visited that State to regulate
party nominations —notably in the case
of J udge Folgev’s nomination for Gover
nor in 1882.
There is no reason why the President
of the United States should not vote,
and there are many reasons why he
should vote. He is presumably the
first citizen of the Republic, aud as
yoting is one of the highest duties of
citizenship, the President should give
high example in the faithful discharge
of duty to free govermeut.
It is said that Bishop Taylor aud his
fellow missiouaries who went to Africa
last year with nothing to sustain them
but their frith, are getting along agood
deal better than many missionaries who
went to the dark continent backed by
money aud stong personal and c fficial
influences. The bishop, it seems has
alreacy settled his colony and put it to
work. He writes encouragingly of
the prospects, and, among other
things, he says' that “missionaries with
big families are no encumbrance to his
mission, William H. Mead, for example,
has a wife and six chihlreu. I wish I
had forty such families at command for
Africa.” He adds that only odo or two
of the eight can as yet “do efficient work
as teachers, nut they can dig. For the
purpose 2,3U0 acres of good laud have
been staked off, aud there will be work
for all hands. This is the Pauline prin
ciple. It is also the German. “Dig and
teach, hoe and preach.”
The law firm of J. M. & W. J. Neel has
been dissolved. Bee notice.
THE CITIZEN’S MEETING.
Iu pursuance to a call put forth by a

IKONVILLE NOTES.
Coroner Rowland was called on to hold
an inquest over a man found dead in the
road near Pine Log last Saturday. He
was met that evening with his wife. The
rain was pouring down and the man ask
ed the person to take the woman on to
Pine Log,. which he did. He was found
dead near where she left him. Appoplexy
was the cause, brought on by drinking al
cohol, The woman testified that he had
drank one pint and a half. The wife was
not more than sixteen; the man about
twenty. They had run away and married
just three days before. They came from
below Atlanta. This is the first case for
the present coroner, and whiskey was the
cause.
' The water-courses have been higher
than ever known for the time of year.
The farmers are behind with their work
from the excessive rain.
Miss Mattie Matthews is spending the
week with Mrs. Freeman. Miss Mattie is
one of Griffin’s loveliest young ladies. She
visited here last winter and made many
friends. We hope some of our young men
can prevail on her to make this her home-
Mrs. B. O. Henry and her aunt, Mrs.
Fain, have been visiting Mrs. William
Rowland.
Maj. Rowland is very proud of his new
grandson, and a fine boy he is.
Mrs. T. J. Rowland is the guest of Oak

marriages here this fall. We will see by
waiting. Hope they will, and ask us. O I
won’t we have a good time.
Saved His Eife.
Mr. D. I. Wilcoxson, of Horse Cave,
Ky., says he was, for many years, badly
afflicted with Phthisic, also Diabetes ; the
pains were almost unendurable aud would
sometimes almost throw him into convul
sions. He tried Electric Bitters and got
relief from first bottle and after taking
six bottles, was entirely cured and had
gained in flesh eighteen pounds. Says
he positively believes he would have
died, had it not been for the relief afford
ed by Electric Bitters. Sold at fifty cents
a bottle by David W. Curry.
A number of colored children who had
previously witnessed a babtizing took one
of their number, three years old in Colum
bia, La., some days ago, aud immersed him
in a pond until they were tired of playing
at the mock ceremony. The unfortunate
little fellow died in a few hours after he
was found, weak and exhausted, near the
pond. The Alexandria Democrat, which
gives the particulars, adds that it was in
the same neighborhood, two years ago,
after a public hanging, that some children
were rehearsing the execution and actually
hanged one of their number to the rafters
of an unoccupied building. Fortunately
the attention of a grown person was at
tracted by the crowd of children and the
victim was cut down just in time to save
his life.
ideal City is the manufacturing city
of Pullman, near Chicago, according
to a late report or the “Massachusetts bu
reau of Statistics of labor 1 ” a real Utopia.
The government of the city is under the
control of the Pullman Palace Car Com
pany, but the people are happy and pros
perous. Houses are leased on the ordi
nary terms, except that a tenant must
leave at ten days’ notice. This rule
means that no liquor saloons, or other ob
jectionable places shall be fastened on the
community. There is scarcely any crime
or drunkeness. One policeman consti
tutes the police force for 8,500 people.

A pocketbook coniaining $240 was pick

A willow farm in Macon, Ga., produces
about a ton of switches to the acre, com

Rome has annexed the village of Desoto.
In the election held there Wednesday, the
vote stood, for annexation, 1331, against
987. This gives Rome more territory and
1000 additional inhabitants.
The fifty dollar Confederate note which
some mischievous fellow sent from Augus

Lying on the ground at the rear door of
our town marshall’s store door is the petri

used as a doorstep. —Cuthbert Appeal.

A Prediction Which Was Not Verified
[Phil , Times. |
The gloomy predictions made during
tire last campaign that real estate in
Washington would become a drug in
the market in case the Govermeut was
taken out the hands of the party then in
power have not been verified.
Reports from the Federal capital indi
cate that the demand for real estate is so
strong that prices for property in the
better sections of the city have been
greatly increased. The demand for win
ter residences on the part of people from
Philadelphia, New York aud Boston
has, it is said, become so large that the
city will be crowded to its utmost capaci
ty during the coming session of Con
gress.
Nothing was more certain than that
the doleful preditions of partizan organs
should be belied; and it is gratifying to
know that they have been brought to
naught so promptly and so forcibly. The
growth of Washington is of interest to
the whole country, aud it cuuot be
checked because one party rather than
another is iii power, or by a change in
the men who fill the local offices.
