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. THE WORLDS’ FAIR Are thooo who use Beggs * Blood Purifier.

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.

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.

D-PRIGE’S The only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder.—No Ammonia; No Alum. Used in Millions of Homes —40 Years the Standard 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.
