Six years ago when it was decided to build the Institute, tho people v ere called Upon to subscribe to the building fund with the understanding that no other school should be supported or even tolerated in the town. Our citizens subscribed liberally (it has amounted to nothing but a dona tion) with tho on* idea in view, that ol building upoi e of the finest schools in Middle Georgia. Now, while vacation is going on and all school affairs are at a stand* still, we deem it our duty as journ alist, who has and has ever had the best welfare of Jackson at heart, to urge upon every ene te give no en eeuragemefit whatever to any other school but Jackson Institute, Oth* •r schools may be organized in a ■nail way, but however small they may be they will to some extent impair the usefulness of this great centime of til business enterprises of our town. We do not know that anything of the k*nd will be at tempted, but simply throw out these hints for the good of all con earned United, we stand; divided, we fli, is as true as preaching. Uuiied in toto on Jackson Institute we will soon have a school second to noue, butao sure as little schools spring up and are supported our school interests go down and then •very other interest in town will be crippled. By all means let us stand together. Ib Indiana walnut wai once used as common fuel. It is not so now. Ntar Goshen, a short while since, twenty walnut trees were sold for four thousand dollars. The dwellers in the torrid North and Northwest have the pity ef all feeling Georgians. The South is the section for comfoit, summer and winter. If a woman cannot reform a man before she n arries him, then she may be certain that after marrage •he will have lees power over him. This idea of marrying a drunkard to roform him is poor business, as many women have found out lo their sorrow.

It is clear, then, that the Sherman law is a scheme for forcing the gov ernment to pay gold coin to mine owner3 for their silver bullion, which bullion is stored away in the treasury vaults, and the government can get the gold coin with which to pay in onlv two ways, by taxation of the people or by sale ol bonds, which in turn must eventually be paid by 6uch taxation. Moreover the bulhon stored away thus is constantly sinking in value on the hands of the government. Does any one wonder that our whole fi nancial structure is becoming sus pected and unsafe, when before our own eyes its foundations are being undermined? How long can the government go on paying gold coin for silver bullion and preserve “its established policy” of maintaining the parity of the two metals at the existing legal ratio? How long can we go on narrowing the base and widening the top of our building without having it topple in ruius upon our heads?—Baltimore Sun. AN ENTERTAINMENT. The Misses Lee gave an informal enter tainment on Tuesday, complimentary to Misces Dunbar, of Byron, .Brown, of Car* rollton, and Daisy Davie, of Bexington. It was an assemblage of rare beauty, and foi the first time since their return, the many sincere and admiring fjiends of the college girls—the “sweet summer girl” welcomed them back. On this occasion 71/iss Agues Carmi chael was greeted cordially by all, and was charmingly sweet man organdie of spot less punty, reminding one of a dainty snowball. Miss Clyde McCallum is also home again and was attired in a dainty white swiss, no ticeable for its girlish simplicity. Miss McCallum is so gracious and affable that she wins the admiration of all around her* Afiss Daisy Davie, a beautiful, piquant little lady, was sweet and fair in a silk of peach blow hue, lighting up the blue-bell eyes and rose-leaf complexion. fFith her pleasing manners, we bespeak for her a charming stay in our little town. Miss Cora Dunbar w r as elegantly dressed in a creamy silk with elaborate trimmings of lace. Her ornaments were pink rose buds. Miss Dunbar is a perfect blonde, with sweet blue eyes and a mantle of sheeny golden tresses. Miss Lizzie Bro vn, of Carrollton, wore a silk, as soft as summer skies, over which was cast a pinkish g,ow as if caught and imprisoned from the sunset’s hue. She wore pink roses in her nut brown hair. Miss Brown is a young lady of stately grace, and a wonderously sweet disposi tion. THEN AND NOW. There is a vast difference between the ante-bellum customs and those of the present day. The South has uot been benefited by some of these latter-day innova tions. Years ago a man who went from corner to corner gossiping about women, carried his life in his hands. The street gossip was yery rare. Now he is to be seen in every town, and he plies his vocation with no thought of evil consequen ces, to himself. The era of chivalry swetn to have been supplanted, in a great measure by the era oi com merce. If this order of things continues the day will come when southern chivalry will be a thing of the past a beautiful dream. Years ago if a man's name was connected in an improper way with that of a good and pure woman, the traducer had to answer for his crime at the muzzle ot a gun. Whether the woman was related to him or not, she was defended in a knightly manner. That custom made it un necessary for the aid of the press to be invoked in stopping street gos sip. Mon were very, very, careful. Now a woman's name is passed from lip to hp and whole communi ties discuss her, in clubs aud other public places. It is a direful piece ol business, at best, but if the wo man is innocent it is simply horri ble. How can the public be expec ted to accept simple denials of guilt and stop surmising, as long as men seem disposed to let the originators of scandals pass unnoticed. If a mar. is innocent he can best estab lish this fact by defending the wo man that has beon wronged, as be comes a gentleman. Tbis will stop gossip. It is the o-ily thing that will call a halt. But one should always he sure that he is innocent.—Atlanta Herald Nature's [ Schenck's Remedy \— ron / Man DRAKE Comp" nt (k VERPILL f A STROKE OF ENTERPRISE The E. T. V. <k G. R’y Inaugurates Through Trains Between The Bunny South and the World's Fair City, Two Elegant Vestibule Trains Every Day. An Enterprising Management. On May 28th, the F. T. Y. & G. R’y inaugurated through train service be tween Atlanta and Chicago. This is the first step in this direction that lias ever been taken and it is something that will be appreciated by the travel ing public. The first train is called “THE W ORLD S FAIR SPECIAL,’* and leaves Macon 3;25 a. m., Atlanta 6:35 a. nr, running solid to Cincinna ti and carrying sleepers through to to Chicago via the C. 21. & D. and Monon, arriving at Chicago the next morning at 7:59. The second train is the “CHICAGO LIMITED” which leaves Macoii at 11-10 a. m. arrives in Atlanta 1-55 p. in., leaves 2-10 p. in. arrives at Chica go uext after-noon 4-40 p. m. This train runs solid hetweeu Macon and Chicago and is composed of United St tes mail car, baggage car, elegant (lay coaches, Pullman and Wagnor sleeping cars ruuniug via the Big Four Route from Cinbinnati. Upon its arrival at Cincinnati at 6-25 a. m. an elegant diniug car is attached which is carried to Chicago. The in auguration of this service makes niis conneetiou impossible as is liable to occur by other lines. Now is the time to go to the WORLD'S FAIR, and in the language of the E. T. V. &. G Management they can take you there “will all the comforts of home.” The E. T. Y. & G. is the only line having exclusive use of one of Chicago’s fia est hotels in which passengers can have rooms reserved before leaving home. It is the Hotel Ingram situa ted opposite the World’s Fair entrance and the tlirongh train via the E. T. V. &G. lands passengers within two blocks of this Hotel, thus saving the expense and trouble of trausfering. The Ingram was not built as a tempo ral y World’s Fair Hotel but it is a permanent structure built of stone and richly furtiishe o The World’s Fair Commission is n w preparing a circular which they will mail to all four quarters of the Globe contradict ing the statement that the Fair is in an incomplete condition, and also that exorbitant prices are being charged for accommodation etc., and the trav el is sure to increase when the public gets this information. Parties addressing Mr. J. J. Farns worth, Division Passenger agent 621- Equitable building, Atlanta, Ga., can secure a prompt answer to any ques tion relating to the route, rates, sched ules, hotel rates, sleeping car fare, in feet any thing else necessary to out line a trip, and if desire one of the E. T. V & G traveling men will go to to any point and personaly attend to aU the wants of passengers. ROBERT. The three year old stallion weighing between fourteen and fifteen hundred pounds is 15-16 Clyde. He was sired by a thor oughbred Clyde, in a dam 3-4 Clyde. He is perfectly sound and trained to work in single and double harneis. Ho is a dark chestnut brown, bail faced. The Clyde is superior to the Norman in that, while he has all the Nor man’s draught qualities he can travel with auy other breed. He was brought by me to this state from northern Illinois for my own use, but owing to a change in business I have decided to sell him. I would prefer someone would buy him who would keep him in the community, for it there is any thing we need here it is better stock on our farms.

D*PRICE’S The only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder. —No Ammonia; No Alum. Used in Millions of Homes —40 Years the Standard MR, MCCANDLESS REPLIES. Mr. Editob:— ln your is me of last week there appears an editorial on the Alliance Warehouse, in which so many misleading and reckless statemen ts are made that i* the interest of truth and justice some reply seems to be called for. The article begins with the state ment that “last year tnere was some discord in the warehouse and the patronage fell ofl 50 per cent,” Nothing however is said of the fact thnt the reciepts of the town fell off 50 pe- cent, also the causes of which are apparent to the meat superficial observer. Of course the warehouse suffered with tnetown. I do not de ny that some few men allowed their prejudices to govern thuo* and turned their backs upon the great Christian Tir.nc’ple involved in this business, that of mutual help and but I believe most of them are now ashamed of such nar row and prejudiced action. Tha article further says the • Slock certificate# are non-interest bearing and unsatisfactory as an investment.” No well informed Allianceman regards the certificates as an investment at all. but only as an evidence of how much of the nndevided profits are his. The profitableness of the investment would have been shown if the writer bud said with an in vestment of S2OOO in three years the profits ha ve been $2850.00. show ing an average of 47 per cent, per annum on the investment. If this is unaatisfactoiy it’s hard to pay what would satisfy. The next a sertion fr unmiti gated gall is monumental. * Hesiys ‘So the leader# of the orderin Butts county have, decided to disburse the ■urplus now on - hand.’' Who I pray you Mr. Editor are these Cae sars who have grown so great, that no meeting of the people is needed to decide thif question so vital to them? Who are these iren who carry the Bette county Alliance in their pockets? The writer then says w§ are in fa vor of disbursing the suiplu9 and' we beli# ve tha* every other man with no axe to grind favors dis burßement. This reminds us of the cry stop thief just as though it was impossible for ’ the advocate of dis bursement to have an axe to grind also. There may be more than one axe ground if disbursement is accomplished and the poorer members of the Alliance will turn the grindstone;' and in my opinion will continue to turn it the balance of their lives if they consent to throw away th*’ tool now in their hands with which they can work out theii* salvation. And all the brother Bennetts in the order will find out if they will have a little patience that united capital earning 47 per cent, per annum when owned by the people is as powerful to build up. protect and dignify as eel fish combinations of cat ital are to oppress, destroy and degrade. The nggregation-ia what giyes it its power, good or evil. By disbursement it is shorn of power for the accomplishment of great en terprises. Disbursement would take tbe heart and hope out of co operative effort' here and would set such a preedent as would forever be in our wav in spy future effort to build up a working capital. Let us then in this hour rally around the“ Central principle of our order, that of unity as {opposed to dismemberment. Let us not discour age our fellow workers by any lack of fidelity on our part to this great principle, so powerful for good whether applied to men or money, S. C.
