Mr. J. F. Kiser, of the firm of M. C.
A J. Fr Kiser, Atlanta Ga,, is (lend.
The Henry County FTeeklv will he
published nt McDonough nl'tcr this
month.
Archibald Brown has announced
himself as a candidate for the legisla
ture in Henry county.
The Colquitt-Brown subsidization of
the Democratic party, docs not meet
with the opproval of a large number
of Butts county people.
Stephens will be swallowed like a
cold potato in Butts coanty—indeed it
will be choking.
Aleck Stephens, if ho is elected,
will recognize the thousands of fraud
ulent hoods now Field against the
and the hard worked, tax hnr
(dent’d fitment and mechanics will
have them to pay.
Cnmpmceting begins at Shingle Roof,
in Henry county, Wednesday, August
ltth. A number of our people are
contemplating attending and going up
on the cars which passes not far from
the camp ground.
The Governor should not have tVe
power to nppoint a single county ofll
ces, in any event. The use of thia
power by the present incnm'ent, in
such a way as to keep himself in of
fice, ought to ho conclusive on this
point. We believe tho civil service
in Georgia to he a'moat as corrupt as
it is in Wat’' Mon —Telegraph &
Messenger.
What constitutes an organized
democrat ? Wo bt-hanged if the late
Slate convention ha* not bo be/uds
died in, that we don't know which
and we etaud on. Wo don't know
whether we are foul, biped, quadru
ped, llesdi blood, fish, Gentile, Jew,
saint, devil, E'hiopian, Cancassian,
or mongrel. What in the devil are
we anyhow and a hat ia democracy ?
We moen Simon pure for God
know* we have had enough of Jeffi-r
--soaian Democracy, ot the Stephen*
band. Madison an:
A great want in Gcoegia now ia a
few scorn Democratic leaders possess
<od of a little genuine manhood. There
k ore two or three men in the Democrnt-
Sp party, in t >e Stnto, whom the moat
®>f out so-called leaders are afraid to
'oppose- even when urged to sueli a
course by self interest and considers
;r,i°i^r blio
in our judgement, belotig
to Senator Brown and Gov. Colquitt
in a more abject sense than that in
which the slaves of those men belong
ed to them prior to the war. It is a
humiliating truth.—Telegraph and
Messenger.
When Mr. Stephens begins his or*,
alorical parade he ought to be lorced
to show his hand aa to the candidacy
of the Independent! for Congress.
Neither the wretched platform, on
which lie reoHuea, nor his letter of
quotation! from Thomas Jeflaraon,
given forth any voice on the subject.
The fox should be oornered and ask
od to show liia hand. Why should
Demociats he forced to vote blindly
when they set out to elect a govern
or T Huvn't they a right to know the
views of the mm for whom they are
asked to vote I —Telegraph Mi e.
aengor.
Tho Conyers Examiner has con
cluded to hoist the Gsrtrell flag. It
says ; “We slut)! advocate the claims
of Gen. Gsrtrell because we believe
him to be the best man for tbo office,
and not because of any political differ
ences that exist, for we regatd Mr
Stephens as a true Democrat, hut one
who has never been fully organized
indeed, he is the “bos* Independent
of Georgia.” We regard the nomi
>f,T,.t?iJ*p b " n> as a trick of
C.X “liif trtKKjff'ring, for the promotion
of llieir own personal scheme*, nnd,
*o to apeak, have borrowed Mr. Ste
phens for the occasion, and propose
to uso him as a oai’s-paw."
We see from a communication, in
the Henry Comity Weekly, signed
ly a number of the moat prominent
and influential citiaena of that nouns
ly, urging Col. E. J Reagan to al
low the use of his name as a eandi*
dale to represent Henry county in the
next legislature, owing to his views
favoring a prohibitory liquor law iu
the State of Georgia
We have known Col. Reagan from
his boyhood. He is formerly ol Hook
dale county where if we mistake not,
he was raised, and his many friends
there will be gratified, to learn of the
compliment bestowed npoa him in
the solicitation of the people of Hen
ry county. lie was horn and reared
of noble parents, the fiist and fore*
must of hia former county. He is a
young ruan of sterling worth, and
has rose to prominence in his profes
sion, that of law. We teel that it the I
people of Henry see proper to en- !
dorse Col. J’ongan, on that grand and
commendable pisiform “prohibition,”
in him they wifi have a faithful and
competent ri prc*entative. It gives
us pleasure to hear our old friend ,
|jk< n of in this connection.

,Vk. Editor: As yon have no corres
pondent here, i will furnish ytA i with
a few local item*.
General health of the people here ii
good ; crops is fine and if the seasons
hold out favorable, corn will not de
mand more than 85 cents per bushel
at the heep, which will bo grately to
tho advantage of the imigration that
we are anticipating this fall from ail
over tho distant countries. There am
a great many who are prospecting now
and buying up lands.
1 am very much pleased with our
new country ; and people who are an
ticipating a home on the Mountain,
you should spare no time in securing
a home hero, and I am satisfied you
would not if you could sec this field as
I have saw it. Lands are rapidly ad
vancing in value, and soon will be out
of roach ofthose with small capital.
We find the people of Sand Jlfoun
tain, social, clever and of high moral
standing. I liav’nt Been a grog-shop
on the Mountain, and it is an excep
tion to hear a man sweare an oath.
Homo of the districts have not had a
civil officer for years, and there has
been no necessity for one. This is a
proof of their morality and fidelity.
Our young friend, Dr. J. B. Denton,
formerly of Georgia, is doing great
work in restoring the ndlicted. BY
wish him i inch success in his choice
profession.
As there is so many marriages in the
country, I give the following receipt for
making wedding cake.

of a yoimg man for about a year, bin
becoming impatient at his failure to
bring mat'era to a crisis, she resolv
ed to ascertain his intentions. When
lie next ended she took him gently
by the ear, led him to a seat, and
said: “Nobby you’vo been lool'in

Covington Gi, Enterprise: On
Thursday a ohicken was hatched on
Mr. Joseph Meador’s place near Cov

days trom the time it diopped the

Sometimes it is not judicious to be

A young lady was looking at some

“How do you sell these ?” at the

“Those are worth $2 a pair,” he
