THE COUNTY ALLIANCE.
What was called the above
named body met at the court house
on 7th inst, to transact business
pertaining to the order, but to the
artonishment of a large number
present turned more into a third
party political meeting than one of
a grand secret order. It seemed
that their line of action had all been
cut and dried belore meeting, which
was to revolutionalize the whole of
allliame work in the county. Some
of the wildest measures we ever wit
nessed in a deliberative body were
put through on that uay. The Al
liance Warehouse seemed to be the
bone of contention, and while the
more conservative members were
anxious and willing for it to run
as before, as success bad been the
outcome of every move, the third
party advocates desired and deter
mined a change and had the rules
fo changed that, in our henest opin*-
|on, will make a complete wreck of
|he whole business, not only ot the
warehouse but of the county alliance
M a whole. Partisanism could be
{plainly seen in every meve. Every
•ficei and committeeman were
phosen from that side, while prece
dent, and parliamentary laws were
trampled under foet unmercifully
sn*J chaos reigned supreme.
We deeply deplore such a state
of affairs and now see nothing In
the future for the beloved and noble
order but disruption and a speedy
decay.
' Col. Marcus Beck is not and will
not be a candidate for the Judgeship
of Flint Circuit.
Mr. N. J. Harmon is no longer connec
ted with The Akgus. He is teaching
school near McCord's mill two miles
north of town.
Ws bad hoped that the defeat the
populists reciered last year would
satisfj them and we would hear no
■ore of their tirade, but it seems
Tom Watson is making a general
tour of the state and is creating a gen-
Jral unroot among some of the people.
We dont need none of Tom’s gush.
Here is a very sensible paragraph
from the Milledgeviila Chronicle:
Tue happiest man in the land today
i* ths successful farmer. He sits con
tentedly under his own vine and fig trse
undisturbed by the maddening noise
of the great city. Banks fail, rail
roads go into the hands of recievers,
booming towns collapse, all busiuess
stagnates. But the farmer can snap
his fingers at all these things. lie is
monarch of all he surreys on his broad
acres. Aud the honesty of his boys
and the purity of his girls is guarded
against temptation and in them ho is
firing the country its best manhood
and womanhood. The farmer is to
be enried, and if he is not contented
with his lot he he is lacking in wis
dom.

ON THE OCMULGEE.
Being partially aroused from
a refreshing nap, while the ham
mock sv ayed gently fo and fro we
raised our eyes and looked up into
the roof of foliage over us. Our at
tention was caught by the clear
sweet voice of Miss Lillie Hightow
er singing, as she leaned gracefully
against an ivy covered oak. ,Ve
could scarcely determine whether
or not we were still in dreamland.
All doubt, however was soon dis
pelled by Jimmie Kinard as he be
gan (at the conslusion ot Miss Lil
lie's sor.g) the chorus —“My sweet
heart is the man in the moon.’' We
were fully awakened to the fact that
we were still enjoying our dtlight
ful ‘'outin" and that “Billie” would
soon rattle the sweet-toned tin pin
whose well-measured notes were rec
ognized as a summons to dinner.
And then while Eddie Huson sang
in a melodious voice “Little David
blew on your harp" the eecretan
called the roll as follows: Misses
Daisie Davie, Nellie Higgins, Lillie
Hightower, and Lizzie Slaughter.
Mr. and, Mrs. T. W. Nutt, Jas. Ki
nard, W. H. Higgins, E. O. Huson,
B. M. Wagner, J. G. Natl, J. H.
Strange and Billie Winant.
When it was ascertained that all
were present, we gathered around
the rustic slab-board table and par
took of a sumptious repast consis
ting of cornbread, biscuit,fresh corn,
chicken, coffee etc. be
sides a large lot ot fish prepared in
several different ways, specially de
signed and copyrighted by Billie’s
own hand.
Walter Moore had joined mir par
ty during the forenoon, bringing
with him some delicious peaches,
apples and melons, which were
served as desert.
Our party left Jackson on Wed
nesday morning just after the sun
had n ade his appearance over the
eastern horison. A pleasant ride of
about tan miles brought us to La
maris Mill, The Ocmulgee at this
point branches out into several
chant els forming numberless is
lands o'all sizes and shapes. The
scenery about us was perfectly
grand. We wish we could convey
to the reader, even in a small way,
the grandeur and beauty of it, but
our vocabulary is too limited, the
scene too magnificent and varied for
us give a clear conception.
It would be hard to picture in
one's imagination a more suitable
spot for a camping ground than the
one selected on this occasion.
We pitched our tent on a little
plat of ground between the mill race
and the river under the shade of a
large water oak. The location was
just elevated enough to catch the
cool breeze that dimpled the waters
and swayed the green trees. Dear
readers observe that lovely rhyme.
It should be copy-righted by law.
It was so involuntary that we feel
sure we have in us the slumbering
genius of Longfellow, Shakespeare,
Tennyson, and all their fellow mas
ters. But enough, we shall await fur
ther development ol our wonderful
talent, before any mere self praise.
Back to our description. The land
scape from every point of view was
a delight to the eye. Just across the
race to the west of us rose a hill of
considerable he : ght, Its jagged sides
10 rocky aad steep, clad in trailing
vines and shaded by large trees,
made us long for the brush of an
artist. To the south was a mill
house with the rumble rumble ot
its big wheel from 9un up till sun
down. Not until the camp hre was
lightened and Billie had begun our
evening meal did the crunching ol
the millrock cease and the frosty
miller turn his steps homeward.
Then only was left the ripple
of the river with the roaring ac
companiment of the water as it
dashed over the fore bay over, over
and over. All night they roned the
song of the brook, “men may come,
men may go but I go on forever."
On the east rose the fertile hills of
Jasper, clothed in dark green wav
ing corn, added to the scene a
wreath ot beauty aud promising an
abundant yield to the planter. .Be
tween us and those green slopes
were the numerous vine covered
islands which were visited and ex
plored by most of our party.
We are sorry we have nothing
poetic or interesting about them.
Our most impressive recollection of
those green islets a re red bugs and
mud. We can only say of them, dis
tance lends enchantment.
On the north was a beautiful view < t
the riyer, shadowed on either bank
by the sott foilage of waving wil
lows outlined against the sky. The
scene at sunset from a row boa f (
about mid way the river, below
the shoals is lovely- It .s al o quite
beatitul in the gray ot the early
dawn as you look from the tent
door. The trees and under-brush ou
the bank look almost black outlined
against the quivering w'aters be
3'ond The river shimmers like liquid
silver in the morning light and
sends up a white mist which
marks its course for miles.
VVel t we’ll let the river vest when
wo tell of the tinny treasures it yield
ed up to Billie’s frying pan. We had
ali the fish we could eat (tliauks to J.
G. Nut and J. 11. Strange.)
Three of our party went out one
morning before breakfast and caught
tweuty-eight with hooks and poles.
We will not bazzard our veracity by
giving the size. We value thecoufi
deuceofour Iriends too high. Facts are
sometime so immense they appear in
credulous, hence we deem it impru
dent to tell the whole truth, so here
we drop the subjeet.
We could not think of bringing this
narrative to a close without exten t
ing our sincete thanks to the Messrs.
Jackson to whom we are indebted for
much of our enjoyment. We tound
them at all times always ready and
willing to do anything in their power
to make our visit a pleasant one.
To Mr. Edmund Hay we are in
debted for some very intertaining vi
olin music.
We shall also remember thekiud
uess of Mr. Jack Lamar and other res
idents of the vicinity. Such people
make us feel that we would like to
live among them always.
If there is oue thing which lends
more enchainment to camp life than
others, it certainly must be style and
comfort of costumes adopted. You
may dress up our modest girls, on pa
per, as fine as the Parisian modosts do
the princess May. You tnav picture
them at evening entertainments as
beautiful as goddesses from Olympian
terraces, but they’ll never look so
sweet and natural as they did in the
cheap frocks and suit bonnets they
wore to the river this week.
You may describe our boys in their
faultless evtning suits and the grace
which they twirl their cane and fan
the girls. AUof ot which sounds very
beautiful and rorriatic but is not so in
couracing to our hope for the future
welfare of our country as to see these
embryo props of our government
wielding the ax, enduring the heat
of a July sun, and engaging iu all
manual labor required around a camp
which shows (hat there is still stam
ina in the young men of our land, and
that they are not degenerating into
fopery and “white handed gentlemen.
We did not begin this with the inten
tion of embarrassing the members of
our party with toomany personal com
pliments, as our girls are too modest
to enjoy the publicity and our boys to
manly. We wanted to say this much
however, because ’tis true.
The close compauionsbip of three
uays encampment has given ns an in
cite to some verv beautiful character,
which we will ever remember, res
pect and love. His X Mark.
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 harness. He is a dark
chestnut brow T n, ball faced.* The
Clyde is superior to the Norman
in that, w T hile he has all the Nor
man’s draught qualities he can
travel with any 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
-t is better stock on our farms.
For further information call on
me at the old Wolfe place one

JACKSON INSTITUTE.
There is an increasing demand all
over the country for better educa
tion, People are learning the grat
truth that merely going to school
does not signify that their children
will be well educated. And they
are learning, too, that going to
school does necessarily mean some
sort of education. The sooner the
country at large fully realizes this
important truth ihe sooner will
Hie you 1j of the country have better
advantages and realize the best re
sults in the time spent in the school
room.
What is tr le of the country at
large is true o! our (own and county.
Educate, [L , educatus
brought up, reared—from g, out oi ;
dIICO I lead] meaning to lead out.
The term is generally applied to the
mind and means to exnand the
mind. The mind is informed and
expanded by leading it out in
thougnt and it is lead to think by the
infiuencies and surroundings to
which it is subjected It is there
foie impossible for the mind to 1 e
subjected to certain conditions and
influences without developing ac
cordingly. So if a low moral tone
prevails in the school the morals of
a pupil are sure to be lax If work is
done by the teacher ii a careless
manner without proper regard for
system and regularity the mind
naturally follows tip this idea and
tails in such a habit and i* thus ed
ucated.
On the other hand if a healthful
moral tone pre''ctild the moral- of
the pupils grow better ands ronger.
If energetic, careful, painstaking
work characterizes the teacher the
effects will be seen in the pupil. If
order, system and regularity are
observed the pupil is so imbued
with these ideas that they become
fundamental principles underlyiug
all business operations iia afterlife.
We all admire a man who is en
ergetic, conscientious, systematic,
thorough in his business. When and
where is he to learn this? Answer,
during the early years of his life,
and for the most part in the school
room.
How important then, this matter
of educating the young! Each
year’s experience teaches us that we
cannot be to careful, that we cannot
be too consffentious, we cannot be
too thorough, we cannot be too sys
tematic, we cannot be too strict in
properly disciplining the miud.
These reflections lead us to only
one conclusion, v z : that the stan
dard of Jackson Institute in every
particular must be raised year by
year and it shall be till there shall
be found in this land r.o school that
can boast its superiority. To this
end the best efforts of every true
citizen of Jackson ie needed,
Jackson Institute must succeed.
She will succeed. We rely upon
God and the true men and good
women of give her suc
cess. Men of Jackson, continue
with encreased zeal your hearty
support and co-operation that we
may offer to tne children of Jack
son, and ail others who may come
to us, advantages excelled by no
other school of like character in the
state. Jas, C. Blasingame.
