The National convention'of the Peo
ple’s party met in Cincinnati yesterday.
We hope our democratic friends will
tako Editor Craig’s advice’ and from
this on vote as they pray.
Sorao of the best men in Georgia will
support the Populist state ticket this
year who have always, heretofore,
voted the democratic ticket straight.
Remember that a democratic primary
is for democrats. Populists have no
right to imposo on their democratic
friends by votiug in thoir primary.
If the democratic party was as anx
ious and desirous of fair elections and
pure methods and practices iu the gen
eral elections as they profess to be iu
their primaries, there would be uo ill
feeling or complaint. It is more essen
tial to have fair and honest elections
than fair and honest primaries, if eith
er one is to be corrupt.
Iu this issue will be found the an
nouncement of Col. W. 1. Pike as a
candidate in the coming democratic
primary for Senator of the 38rd senato
rial district, composing the counties of
Jackson, Banks aud Hall. We have
known Col. Pike from our boyhood
days aud ho has always been our per
sonal friend. If we were a democrat,
there is no man in that party for whom
we would take more pleasure in work
ing and voting for than Col. Pike. The
only trouble is that ho is with the
wrong party—a party that do3 not
represent the interest of the people at
large. He is, however, a representative
man, a man of brain and above all else
is an honorable foe. The demooratio
party of this county will honor itself by
nominating him and from reports over
the county he will get the nomination
by a handsome majority.
The Gainesville Eagle is appealing to
its readers to vote as they pray and yet
we would wager a Jews harp that the
Eagle would support the raukost whis
ky man iu Georgia if the democratic
party should nominate him. The pray
ers of such men never rise above their
heads. They have no convictions save
their party's and no principles but those
dictated by the leaders. The country
can never grow better und"r such lea
deisbip—under a code of morals when
the great moral question to temperance
is trusted to the keeping of the "pie
counter” brigade it will always suffer
defect, just as it has iu the past at the
hands of the democratic party iu Geor
gia. Men who are absolutely subser
vient to party cau never vote as they
pray.

(L. A. Stockwell in Noncon. Library.)
(Enter boy with a badly bruised face
aud eye swelled shut.)
My sou, what on earth does this
mean?
It means that Tom Jones lied to me.
But you should never fight. I must
punish you severely.
He hit me first and called you an old
turncoat, and—
• Called me an old turncoat?
Yes; it was this wny. pa. He told me
lie would (.ive me $1 to saw a cord of
wood, then " hen I got it none he would
only pay me 64 cents.
Ooly 64 cent?!
That is all he would nay me.
Perhaps y< u misunderstood him, my
son.
No, I didn’; I guess I know 64 cents
when I see it.
I moan about the price.
No, sir; he said he would give me sl.
Well put on your coat, my son; I’ll
go over and see that he pays you sl, ac
cording to contract.
Going they met the boy (badly bat
tered) accompanied by his father.
There’s Tom, pa,
Jones—How’s this? Your boy as
saulted miue, and I’ve como to demand
satisfaction.
Smith—Yes, and so have I. Your lazy
runt of a boy can’t hire my boy and
agree to pay him $1 a day and then only
pay him 64 cents. Besides, ho assaulted
my boy first.
Jones— You are a liar, you
(They both clinch and so do the boys.
For a few minutes the air is blue with
profauity and hair. Then the crowd
which had assembled separated them,
Bystander picks up a silver dollar and
hands to Smith’s son.) Here’s a dollar
dropped out of your pocket during the
scuffle.
(Bov takes it.)
Thai’s the same dollar 1 paid him for
sawing wood; boo-hoo!
Smith boy—Tain’t a dollar; it’s only
64 cents.
Smith—ls that what the Jones boy
paid yon, my sou?
Yes, pa; it is.
Smith—Mr. Jonos, I bog your pardon
I see through it all now.
My sou, that is a dollar. How ridicu
lous you have made me appear.
Pa, it was only last week I heard you
argue for an hour that silver dollars are
worth only 64 cents and that it is a dis
grace to coin them, and
Oh, ah! well, yon see, a
No, I don’t see, ah, with both eye3
about swelled shut now. I’ll lick h—l
out
Sh! my boy; a— you must beg his par
don.
What! Be swindled out of 36 oeuts,
then be pulverized, then ask pardon?
I’ll be ramshack’ed if I do it ; I
My son, it is all a mistake. That is
a dollar, and will buy as much a3 any
other dollar, and it is just as good as
any other dollar.
Then why did you say last week it is
a dishonest dollai?
Oh, I, ah—well, I’ve been taught by
the politicians and subsidized newspa
pers and office seekers to say so, aud
Is that all the reason you had for say
ing s ?
My son, you are a fright.
Pa, you look as if you had been run
through a thrashing maohiue.
Jones—And it’s all on account of the
tariff.
Smith to Jones—Don’t you think its
time to stop this rot abont a silver dol
lar not being worth as mnoh as a gold
one?
You’re right, I do; lets give the boys
a dollar apiece, and go and joiu the
Populists.
Agreed.

"In the midst of lit© we are in death.”
It seems with eaoh succeeding year
the number of sudden deaths multiply.
Souls are ushered into eternity without
a moment waruiug. The fast age, the
busy cares of life and ail the diversious
that theee bring with them, tend to
draw our attention from the one main
point, that is, we only have life iu
which to prepare for death. "How sad
it will be, the harvest all past, the
bright summer days all gone, to know
that the reapers have gathered the
sheaves and left us to die alone.
We were told, while in Winder the
other day, that prosperity had struck
the people square in the face. It is for
tunate for a fellow to get put from home
once and awhile, for we learned that
prosperity was stalking around just by
golrg tc. Winder. People who stay a
home will never find out that such a
“critter” is running at large.
We met a fellow the other day driv
ing along, whistling, all smiles, with
about 8 sacks of fertilizir, 25 sacks of
flour and a side of white ham on his
wagon; he spoke as he passed, “cotton
is 10 cents.” It is; we inquired. “Yes,”
said he. Well, what did you get for
yours; we asked. “Oh, I— I-yah I —yah
s—sol—d in th—e f—a —l—l at s—ix and
th r-e-e qu—arte—s ” “You did,” we
replied. Well, you are getting meat aud
flour at a 6% basis are you? “Well I give
$5 50 for flour and 8 for meat You see
I buv on tm3 ” “Yes.” Well. 10 cent
cotton is :i bouanzi to: the fellow who
has’nt any to sell, aiut it? If the other
fellow can get 10 ceuts for his cotton
those who produce it, can afford lo pay
10 cents prices for all their supplies, es
pecially when they can get them on
credit. This is the way it looks to a
fellow who is in the ditch.
It takes very iittle to satisfy some,
and those who are contented are the
only ones that are happy, lor content
ment is ALL that this iiie can furnish
auy one. Wisdom, wealth aud honor
fail to soothe the troubled heart. Ignc
ranee, want and contempt fail to cast
a shadow o’er the life of those that see
sunshine in every thing. Those that
live f> life of sorrow, sadness and regre f ,
have one consolation, viz: “They that
sow in tears shall reap in joy.”
Those that “rest at ease in Zion,”
should take heed, for the son of man
may come “as a thief in the night.”
As we write miscellaneously, we wiU
pen the following lines as they come
rushing to our mind.
In a world of sorrow, doubting aud dis
tress,
Everyday I wander, finding none to
bless
My poor heart so weary, fainting ’neat i
its load,
Bearing many burdens o’er life’s rag
ged road.
In a world of sadness, sickness, pain an 1
death,
I can see around me life’s fast fleet
ing breath;
Ev’ry thiDg in nature, both ou land an 1
sea,
Point beyond death’s river to eternity
Iu a world of trouble, dager aud disn
may,
Hope my only comfort, trust my only
stay;
With this blest assurance, “Ho wh >
turns life’s sands,”
Holds His children ever safely ih His
hands.

We hope our democratic friends will
nominate their best men in this county.
If they should by some freak or acci
dent elect their ticket, we cau then
have the consolation of knowing that we
wont be so badly hurt for the next two
years.
The Globe Ship building Cos., Cleve
land, Ohio, has announced the pension
ing of one of its mules after 17 years of
faithful service. It is to have three
meals a day, a good place to sleep and
the freedom of the yard. I looked all
over the paper to see where it had pen
sioned some of the men who had grown
old and helpless in its services, but the
reporter had evidently overlooked it!
Mules are more considered than men
—in fact they cost more. Men are to
be had for the asking, but mules have
to be bought. A society organized on a
basis that would pension off the work
ers after years of faithful servioe would
be a horrible state of society, wouldn’t
it? You say men should make provi
sion for their old age. How abont the
pensioning off of the army offloers, the
Judges, and other useless drones of
society who draw larger pay than the
average worker? Why retire them with
a fine income if men should make pro
vision for themselves? A man who has
has worked and prednoed wealth twen
ty years o his life has produced more
than he consumes in a life—he has not
consumed it in the few years, for he
could not. Society has consumed it aud
society should provide for its workers—
boly horrors! Pension the drones, pen
sion the mules—but the workers never!
Tnis is civilization. And the workers
keep voting the sain i ticket, believing
the same lines from those who are on
their backs. —Appeal to Reason.

I sell the best Buggies on
the Market.
I sell them at the old prices
for Cash.
A good Note gets them at
the same Figure.
You Want to Know How I Can do This?
I ANSWER:
Because I buy them in Carload lots.
Because I pay the spot Cash for them.
Because I bought them before the Advance,
DO YOU WANT ONE?
IF YES, then why should you go where you can only see
two or three different styles, when you can come to my

take advantage of the above prices.

A Discrimination.
An aged Georgia negro, Nathan by
tame, is employed by a gentlemau very
prominent in state politics. That Na
thaD, also, has an eyo to political favors
is shown by the following conversation,
which recently took place between him
and his employer:
“Marse Jim,” said Nathan, "is you
gwine in dis yere race fer governor?”
"Haven’t thought about it.”
"Well, ef yer does run, an’ gits elect
ed, will you give me a job?”
"Certainly I would remember you,
Nathan. What would you like?”
"Welt, suh, I’d des like ter black
boots roun’ de Capitol.”
"And what would you expect for
that'service?’’
"Well, suh,” he replied, "I should
say four dollars a day would be reason
able. Dat’s what de yuther legislators

Save Your Opinion.
By Emma Mahaffey Drake.
Written For Thk Economist.
"Three-thirds” of our time we’d
speud in fnss,
If all our neighbors were just like us.
So let them rest from your long
drawn view.
Of wnat "I’d do if I were you.”
Just let them have their own dear
ways,
And do not worry to shorten your days.
Their business is theirs and yours
your owa.
When your duty is done, there is no
time to moan.
You cannot manage the smallest state,
Much less this world so fall and great;
So be content with your work about,
And study aud travel the safest route.
Then with me you are sure to agree,
(For none who look can fail to see),
That more to work and fewer to boss,
Would lighten the weight of many a
cross.
Especially in matters where you are
not concerned,
I hope is the lesson you here have learn
ed.
Do please keep your tongue to your
self, kind friend,
And do not so freely your opinion
spend.
