What is a Georgia democrat? A
year's subscription for the best an

left in Georgia, it certainly needs a
nerve tonic.
As to the convict question, let s
have some prosecutions and less
brain storms.
These “harmony plays,' if con
tinued, will swell the ranks of the
republican party in Georgia.
We take the testimony of dis
charged convict guards and ex(?)-
critninals with a great deal of salt.

The state executive committee
made no effort to indorse Tom
Watson for president, which goes
to show there is always somethin"'
for which to he thankful.

'Tom wag> the populist tail to the
democratic kite our way we prom
ise not to kick.
The W indcr hall team is made
up exclusively of home talent . We
agree with the Commerce News in
its opposition to hired men for

The name of Bryan was hissed

All of which go< s to prove that
peoph who have never gone outside
of the limits of their own malitia
district know v- ry little of the'
world. Everyone who has ever
been to Commerce knows that it is
the best town in the world. Com

viet who was a star witness before
the special committee of the legis

neighbor to tin* door and shot him
down in cold blood, and after he
was liberated from the chaingang
gave his wife so much trouble that
she was forced to call upon the
courts for protection. This poor
follow certainly deserves all the
damages he can possibly receive.

A prominent Georgia preacher
told the writer a few davs since that
the trouble with most ministers was

The Georgia Midland railroad is
a great convenience for the colored
population of Winder. They oc
casionally give a barbecue in this
neighborhood, and with an ex
cursion from Gainesyille and up the
; road, they succeed in having a large
[crowd. But, so far as the citizens
of Winder are concerned, with the
schedule now in vogue, a pig path
leading out from our town would
be of about as much importance.
