We wish for our roaders a pleasant Christmas and hope yoa are all in more favorable circumstances for next week than yon have been for several Christmases past. Most of our readers are farmers and producers of all wealth; end as a class yon have hadmhny things to discourage yon for several years Your money crop, cotton, has been sell ing for a number of years bjlow the cost of production and it has been hard to come ont even at the end of each year Yon have been hard pressed and discouraged and coaid see little in tho future to make it bright. This season, your cotton crop has brought you better prees and most of yon have beeu made to rejoice. tVe rejoice with you for we sincerely believe that if there is any clas of people who ought to prosper, who ought to make more than a hard living, it is the class that produces the wealth —the class that labors and toils ou the farms. It has b-'ou the dream of our life that the burdens of govern ment should be more equally distributed t und that a party shculd spring into ex istaace that would enlist every lover of liberty and every man who makes his living by the sweat of his brow. We must confess that our ideal has been somewhat shattered by the sad fact that the very men who sh’ould stand firm and true to oue advocating so just a cause, seem not to realize its import ance, and often oppose the princi ples lhat alone will make them free and independent. This naturally brings sadness to any sine re advooate of a g#?nd and righteous movement that has for its object the Vsttarmeut of hu manity and the realization of equal r ,hts to all men and special priviles to none. We wish that men had more firmness aud true mauhood and could lay aside party spirit, prejudice aud ignorauoe aud think and act as real men ought to act. We wish that all meu could see tilings os they really are, could act as men ought to act, could lay aside sel fishness aud greed and personr L interests ior the good of humanity at large. We have indulged the hope for years that men would finally become broad enough, manly enough and Christlike enough to rise above all the hiudrauces to a broad, er, uobler aud higher life, Whether this will ever be, we are not prepared to express an intelligent opinion at the present time. We hope, however, for its realization and are still williug to work and labor on tins line. We are aware, from ex perience, that there is little appreciation shown those who battle for the weak, the oppressed and those who bear the hardens. The man who fights for a crown, who is controlled b/ selfish mo tives, is the man who gets the honors at the present time; bat things will some day change, and the world will yet recognize justice and right, and trnth will finally prevail. May the time not be far distant when the change will come and when equal opportunities will be given all men iu the struggle for existence. In conclusion, we again wish all The Economist’s readers a happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year. The different reform elements ought to get together and make a solid front. Thos. E Watson’s Tribute The eloqaent tribute to H. W. Reed by Mr. Thos. E. Watson is fall of devo tion to a dead fri nd who was always true. Mr. Reed was the member of the National Executive Coinmitte for Geor gia for several yoars of the Peoples par ty and one of Mr. Wa'son’s closest po litical associates iu the campaign of 18915 He died recently at San Minguel, Mexico, where he has been several years developing some large enterprises We quote the following paragraph from Mr Watson’s tribute of him, be cause of its beauty and because it shows the lofty ambition that prompted Mr. Reed in espousing the cause of Popu lism: “1 know that he loved truth and right aud honor; that ha detested what was bise. I know that his ambition was lofty, his methods clean, his integrity spotless. I know that he loved his fel lowman, felt fo- the poor, abhorred abuses aud longed for better laws, cus toms, systems. 1 know that he was self reliant, resonreeful, a thinker who dard to challenge authority, a pioneer to whom the past was not a lord aud master. I know that he would have given his life to better the world, to free the oppressed, to heal the wounds and hush the moans of suffering hu manity.” The Atlanta Journal says that Mr. Bryan is the great obstacle in the way of the "rehabilitation of the Democrat ic party” as advised by Mr. Cleveland aud approved by the gold standard de mocrats. Mr. Cleveland has spoken aud Mr. Bryan has spoken. Democrats can uow take their choice as to which wing of their party they will "jine.” City Taxes. The present admistration has done one good thing for Winder. Although it has made many improvements it has r ductd taxes way below what they were last year. This is one item that every man is interested in. This administration can also feel proud of the fact that the city has made more rapid growth this year than ever before in its history. We say the above simply in justice to the men who made up the present administra tion and because wo feel it is due their. Killing at Statham. Mr. John H Sikes shot Mr. Lery Har vil, at Statham last Saturday afternoon, killing him instantly, The reports con cerning the difficulty and shooting are very conflicting aid it is a very difficult matter to get at the real facts until the commitment trial, which comes off to morrow, Friday. Mr. Sikes’ friends say they will be able to prove beyond doubt that he killed Mr. Harvil in self defence. .Found at Statham. • . Constable Joe Holliday, of Statham, brought Bud Flauigau here last Friday under arrest and boarded the train wiih him en route to the DeKaib county jail at Deoatur. A warrant had been sent from that county for Bud’s arrest, charging him with running a blockade still there last year. Boy Kills His Cousin. Lim Jackson, colored, and his cousin, Dave Jackson, colored, both of whom lived in Winder, were at work last Thursday euttiag wood. They had been iu a playing mood it seems all day, devoting more time to boxiug than to work. In the afternoon they began fencing with heavy sticks, and while en f?aged in this sport, Dave happened to hit his cousin Lem a rather heavy blow on the head, crashing the skull and causing his death a few hoars later. A Big Christmas Present. The biggest and most valuable Christ mas present reoeiyed so far is the fine boy bom to Mr. and Mrs. B J. Presley, weighing FIFTEEN pounds in his shirt sleeves. Draw JUaniel and Ross feel much interest in the future growth aud development of this young mau as they were present when he was presented to his father and mother and participated in the ceremonies.
