The Demcratic Doctrine,
From (he National Democratic Plat
form Atlojtlctl At t'liicago .1 ni,e
22ud, 1892.
“Wc denounce the Republican legisla
tion known as the Sherman act of 1890 as
a cowardly makeshift, fraught with possi>
bilitics of danger in the which
should make all of its supporters, as well
as its author anxious for its speedy repeal.
We hold to the use of both goth gold and
silver as the standard money of the coun
tiy, and to the coinage of both gold and
silver without discrimiuationg against ei
ther metal or charge for mintage, but the
dollar unit, of coinage of both metals must
be equal intrinsic and exchangeable value,
or he adjusted through international agree*
menl or by such safeguards of legislation
as shall insure the maintenance of the pari
ty of the two metals and the equal power
of every dollar at all times in the market
poyiMflnl nf iloLio, uutl tdc
mand that all paper currency shall he kept
at par with and redeemable ; n such coin.
We insist upon this as especially necessary
for the protection of the fanners and la
boring classes, the first and most defense
less victims oT unstable money and a fluc
tuating currency.
If the editor sometimes in an un
guarded moment says things you
don,t like, why, spare lmn from
crucifixion because of the many
pleasant things he has said about
you. Remember that you never
brought a watermelon to this office
without getting a write up in a ten
line local. You never treated him
to ice cream or invited him out to
dinner, without being rewarded
in the same generous measures.
You may be a good deal slower
than the Nancy Hanks, but in re
turning thanks for benefits received,
the editor always speaks of you as
big hearted and progressive. When
ever a birth occurs in your family
the earliest congratulations come
Irom the editor, in the case of death
the first words of sympathy come
from the same source ; and in the
event of marriage no one more joy -
fully samples the wedding cake.
Your editor is always speaking a
go >d woid for your town and boom
ing its enterprises in season and
out of season. From the cradle to
the grave the press is close beside
you in all the changing vicissitudes
of this life, guarding in the very
best and bravest wav the welfare of
all the people. So just be easy on
the editor. Doubtless he doesn't
think like you on all questions but
wouldthis e a monotonous
world if all people thought alike?
Therefore be respetiul to the irdepen
dent editor who doesn't think alike,
and has the courage to stand up and
say so. He is worth a whole camp
meeting of editors tha s a fraidto say
6methir.g that ought to be said be
cause it might hurt somebody’s
feelings. He will be found guard
ing your rights at times when cow
ards skulk in the dai k, and to his
brave heart and fearless pen
the country must look for the pres
ervation ot its liberties. For after
all, the almighty press is the power
behind the throne, that makes pol
itical parties and mould3 public
■entimen , . along every line.
RESOLUTIONS.
BY THE
BUTTS COUNTY TACHERS IN
STITUTE
We ( a committee selected by the
Butts county Teachers’ in Institute
assembled, to prepare some resolu
tions on subjects more directly con
corning the teachers of common
schools, beg leave to submit the
{(slowing:
Ist. We approve the law crea
ting the Institute as a wise and
economical measure, and the most
practical method ot normal train
ing for teachers cor.cievable, hut we
are opposed to so much of the law
as makes the attendance compul
sory, regarding that feature as a re
flection upon the teachers and we
makers to repeal that
portion of the law.
-fid, We ask the legislature to
provide for the quarterly payment
of teachers.
3rd, \\ e do not approve the
Guinn hill, commonly known as the
‘ ui lormity text book hill’'for the
following reasons : (a) “The com
mission as provided by the said hill
is composed, in Dart, of state officers
whose political affinity would
rather detract from their fitness for
the work to he done, (b) The bill
imposes upon our over worked
stale school commissioner. (c)
Under the bill we would have too
much of a sameness of text books.
“V .liety is the spice of life.” (and)
The hill makes room for a monopo
ly and an imposition upon our peo
ple, in that, aspiring educators
would be denied that individuality
which is the key to progress, and
would have to conform their vvo.-ks
on education to the ideas of the
book commission or fail, whereas,
“Competition is the life of trade,
(e) The Dresent law allowing coun
ty boards of education to select
text books is far superior to the pro
posed law, in that it secures the
purpose of the bill, uniformity in
text hoi ks, to a sufficient degree for
all practical purposes, and does not
lesson competition, thereby making
monoply impossible.
4th. We return our thanks to
our worthy county school commis
ioner, Hon E. E. Pound, for his
courtiees toward us and fully ap
prove his management of the school
interest in our county.
We respectfully ask our county
papers to publish these resolutions
and send a copy containing them to
our representative,Hon. TANARUS, J. Demp

ETIQUETTE OF WEDDINGS.
Correct Deportment for Both
Bride and Groom.
A Few Valuable Points for the
“Uninitiated” No Longer the
Proper Caper for Everybody to
Kiss the Bride.
Almost every day come in our
mail inquiries relative to tiie eti
quette of weddings. Possibly the
general ignorance on this point
comes from the fact that it is the
first offense of the writer, there
fore he or she cannot be expected
to be quite au fait in a matter
which it takes time to become ac
customed to.
In answer to the many anxious
ones we will say that if the wed
ding takes place in the morning
the groom does not wear a dress
coat. He wears a formal morning
suit, and wears gloves or not, as
he chooses. A best man is usually
chosen, be being the groom's
brother or most intimate friend.
It is his duty to follow the hus
band to the altar, standing at his
right hand, a little behind him,
and holding his hat during the
service. The best man pays the
clergyman’s fee and returns to the
house either by himself or with
the maid of honor.
The bridegroom, if he so pleases,
may present the bridesmaids with
some pretty souvenir of the occa
sion, such as a fan, bracelet or
locket. He pays for the wedding
ring and the bride’s bouquet.
Cards and carriages, as well as
the wedding feast, are furnished
by the bride’s parents.
The bride drives to the church
with her father, who gives her
away. Her mother and relatives,
who have preceded her, sit in the
front pews. Her bridesmaids
await her in the chancel of the
church.
The bridal procession is gener
ally formed of the ushers walking
two and two, then the bridesmaids
and last the bride on her father’s
arm. Sometimes a maid of honor
walks with or just before the
bride, in which case the father
forms no part of the cortege. On
reaching the altar the ushers and
bridesmaids separate to right and
left, leaving a space for the bridal
pair. The bridegroom advances
and takes his bride by the right
hand and the clergyman proceeds
with the ceremony.
Husband and wife walk down
the aisle together, the others fol
lowing. Formerly brides removed
the whole glove. Now the finger
of the left hand one is adroitly cut
so that the ring can be easily ad
justed without removing the entire
glove.
All brides should write a per
sonal note of thanks for each gift,
whether it be large or small.
After an hour and a half with her
guests the bride retires to don her
traveling gown, usually accom
panied by her most intimate
friends. WKon silo roturnu olio is
met at the foot of the stairs by the
groom, who has also changed his
costume, and the good-byes are
said, the rice and satin slippers
thrown, and it is all over.
Wedding;cake is no longer sent
about, but neatly packed in boxes
and placed where guests can take
it on leaving the house. Such is
the etiquette of a church wedding,
the] refreshments served being
either elaborate or simple, as the
hostess chooses. The bride is no
longer kissed by everybody, only
the very intimate friends being al
lowed that privilege. If we have
omitted any point that has proven
vexed one to expectant bridal
pairs, pray pardon the omission
and let us know wherein we have
failed, and once again the pen will
be taken up on so important a sub
ject.—Philadelphia Times.

GEORGIA BUSINESS COLLEGE,
Wyatt & Martin, Macon Ga.
It is nee Hess to 3ay to our read
ers that our investigation of the
Business College wc mwreview war
conducted upon the lines laid down
in the past. In this case as in ail
others, no charges were made, no
gifts accepted, no advertisements
solicited. The only interests con
sulted have i>eeu those of onr read
ers. who asked honest, unpreju
diced advice concerning the rtla
tive merits ot the various commer
cial schools which seek the patron
age of the people. This informa
tion cannot be obtained through
college catalogues or paid write ups.
Devoid of all such features is the
lepon, herewith given. We single
out and indorse this high grade ol
institution upon its own high merits
alone. We commend it unquali
fiedly to those who would discrimi
nate between a business college
which really fits its graduates for
the highest positions of trust and
employment in the business world ;
and the u ebusiness like affairs
which almost cast discredit, upon
the very name of ‘business col
lege.”
The establishment we now re
view stands out better and brighter
by reason ol the contrast it offers in
superiority genuine merit and trust
worthiness. It, is ably conducted,
splendidly equipped, and by all
rights of supreme and inherent
worth takes front rank. Its facul
ty is above criticism.
For some past days, it has been the
subject of investigation by a trained
and trusted .editoral correspondent
and as a result of such unbaised ex
amination, we do not hesitate to sin
gle it out as an exemplar; arid to
heartily endorse it to every reader,
who desires the highest practical
education at the lowes possible cost.
Would there were far more such in
stitutions throughout the country
to-day. It occupies the same rela
tive position to the inferior business

great. Univerity ot Chicago to the

An Atlanta Remedy which has *Sto >d th

[From the Atlanta C nstitution. ]
People who buy blood purifying and
building up remedies, should not forget
that old tune-honored and thoroughly test
ed remedy, Botanic Blood Jfalm (“B. B.
>B.”) made in Atlanta for the past forty
years, by Dr, L- M. Gillam and his asso
ciates. This remedy is not a trashy mine
dy, made and heralded to sell, with the
inducement of a large number of doses for
a small amount of money, but is a scien
tific compound, made from an approved
formula and tested materials. It is the
best remedy ever devised for the speedy
and permanent cure for all skin an blood
diseases, from the simplest pimple to ths
foulest ulcer. One bottle of it possesse
more curative virtues and building up
properties than a dozen of any other sim
ilar remedy. It is sold by druggist at one
dollar per large bottle. Try this incom
parable remedy, ti- a Southern m di
cine made to cnre as well as to sell,
A trial of a single bottle will prove its ef
ficacy. The Blood Balm Cos, will send a
book of wonderful cures tall who write
for it.
It is a fine tonic as well a splendid
blood purifier.

and trained to work in single and

chestnut brown, ball faced. The
Clyde is superior to the Norman
in that, while he has all the Nor
man’s draught qualities lie can
travel with any other breed. He
was brought by me to this state
Tom northern Illinois for my
own use, but owing <o 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 if
there is any tiling we need here
it is better stock on our farms.
