The Demcratic Doctrine, I'roiu I lie National Democratic Plat* form Adopted At C hicago June 22nd, 1892, “We denounce the A’epublican legisla tion known as the Sherman act of 1890 as a cowardly makeshift, fraught with possi bilities of danger in the future 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 discriminationg against ei ther metal or charge for mintage, hut the dollar unit of coinage of both metals must he equal intrinsic and exchangeable value, or he adjusted through international agree* ment 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 and in the payment of debts; and we de 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 farmers and la boring classes, the first and most defense less victims of unstable money and a fluc tuating currency. WATSON’S DAY. Watson’s day in Butts has come, and, alas! is gone. Many were very much disappointed, some be cause they had overestimated him, and others because they 1 a 1 under rated him. The tiuth i t “it was about like we expected, v as the old woman said when she saw the rock was not gone that she prayed might be moved. Tommy abused every body and everything, but did not say what should be dot e, for the simple reason he didn't know. However, he is better than some of the gang that follow him around at fifty dollars per month. One “McGreggor” proceeded to preju dice the people against him betore he came by stating that The Argus had lied in a statemeut he read in its columns, and then went on to proye the truth ot our remarks by sending out a committee to get sub scribers. If Tom wants to be a ruler, he had better keep that Mc> Greggor behind instead of in front. What was worse, though, was this : McGreggor asked about the circula tion of The Argus, and Mr. W. F. Smith, who has heretofore been re garded as a man of truth and veracity, gave two thirds of the circulation, and we noticed it didn’t choke him. But McGreggor said Tom was giving him (McGreggor) fifty dollars per month and ex penses, and he had twenty plows at home. A man sitting near us said, “I doubt if he's worth fifty cents a month at home/' We don’t know about that, hut he is worth abso lutely nothing to Tom as a fore runner; he might do as a ‘'hind-, runner.” There were about three thousand peop’e present-seven hundred Pop ulists from Butts. Jasper, Monroe, Spalding and Henry counties, three hundred negroes and about two thousand Democrats, who behaved nicely and could but win the esteem of gentlemen in the Populist crowd. There was one man hurrahed for Cleveland, who we learn was a Pop ulist hired cr requested to do so, in order to draw Tommy out and give him a shadow of excuse for abusing a man in his absence. A WAR STORY. , [(by a butts county soldier.) CHAPTER I 1 enlisted in thy first company that Uft Butts county, Georgia, ana went to Atlanta, where the bixth Georgia division was organized. Ae went liom there to Richmond, \a. W e did not go into camps, out were marched to the Amencan Hotel, where we were treated like gentlemen. We remained there a short time and then went into the camps. In a few days we were ordered to Yorktown to join Mc- Gruder,but before leaving Richmond the boys got a supply of “red eye.” We left Richmond in the night went down on Richmond & West point railroad and reached West point at sunrise the next morning. As usual, alter partaking of “red eye*’ freely all night the boyß want ed water, and as the river >vas near by it was amusing to see the boys racing to see who would get the first drink, and was still more amusing to ste at least five hundred men with their index finger inserted town their throats trying to vomit, is it was the first salt water they had ever seen. It did not have the iesired etlecl. But soon we were aboard “Old Logan. ” the stamboat, gliding swiftly down tbe river in the direction of Potomac and the Yan kee gunboats. We landed at York town in due tune and there we went into camps, and then we spent, a tew day s in sight seeing, visiting Oormvellis ’ Corps and places of in terest ; but we soon commenced the regular rotation of a soldier’s life. It would make my lettter too long to even give a sketch ol all that is fresh in my mind ; but in a short time after several false alarms, we received orders to be ready to march at a minute's warning, and this time it was not a false alarm, tor the Y ankees had landed and we were marched to Yorktown, but old Mac and his little band met them at Bethel churcn and gave them a nice thrashing, sending them back to their gunboats wiser, if not better men. While on this trip some of the boys stole an old gander and went to the chaplain whiie he was asleep and picked it, and in the morning someone hollered out, who stole the gander?’ The answer came from all over the camps. “The preacher ! v Soon after this we returned to our old camps at \orktown, where we had a fine time. We drew plenty of meat, flour, sugar, coffee, rice, fish and oysters were plentiful and very cheap. I stayed in camps six months, was taken sick and got a discharge and returned to my home in Georgia. [Continued next week] A PUZZLE To many ladies is how to keep their hair in curl on rainy days.

W. Wrenn, G. P. & Tkt Agt ENJOYING VACATION. Continued from Last Week ] Just at sunset we stood on a huge rock on the very summit of Kenne saw and drank in the glorious beauty of ihe scene. Far away in the dis tance could he seen the Blue Ridge and Pine mountains on one side and at aiuthcr point Mount Allatoona, from which Sherman signa’ed, “Hold the fort, for I am coming,” during tire war. We saw the breastworks ex tending all across the mountain, be hind which our soldiers fought, and the exact spot where the cannon stood was pointed out to u*. One of the party told us this superstition con nected with the mountain, that at certain times the roar of the cannon, the whistling of balls, and the groans cf the wounded could be heard even now, but our imagination was not sufficiently vivid to distinguish any of these sounds on this particular occasion. With a telescope which we had earned, we had a splendid view of J/arietta far below us from differeut points during our upward journey. Stone mountain and Lost mountain were plainly visible, and with the valleys and green fields between, made a truly heauti ful picture. We watched the sun, a great ball of fire, as it seemed to sink slowly behind the mountain, and with reluctance we began the descent, pausing on the way to gather souvenirs of our trip, and the whole party made the mountain ring with merry songs. A few days afterwards a party of us, seventeen in number, rode out to the paper mills, about ten miles out from Marietta, where we saw paper in all its different stages. We could hardly believe it possible to mal& paper of pine wood until w T e saw it ground into pulp and combined with other paper-making matei ials, rags, etc. There was the rough brown paper and paper of different thick ness and of different colors, then the paper upon which the .Atlanta Journal is printed, also many other newspapers in the State, and the composition is one third of pine. We had supper on the hanas of the river in a very picturesque spot, lighted only by the raj r s of the moon, and after wards some of us who were more ven tures* me wandered out on the shoals to enjoy the view far down the liver (and to throw rocks at those on the banks.) The homeward ride by moonlight was very enjoyable, singing and eatiacr water melon forming part of the program. The marble works at Marietta are very interesting, the largest in the United States. We visited the National Cemeteiy too. where are buried ten thousand Federal soldiers. It is beautifully kept, the graves are all sodded, there are ivy-grown trees overshadowing picturesque lakes, then there is a summer*house completely cov ered with ivy and wisteria, there are rus tic seats everywhere aloeg the winding drives, and there is a plain marble slab at the head of each grave, a marble block containing the number of those whose names are unknown. 2here are so many places of iuteiest around Marietta, and I am sure we could not have spent a week more delightfully anywhere. From il/arietta we came to Decatur to visit friends. There are six young ladies in the house, two from Augusta, and in gayeties the week is passing rapidly. Wednesday night we went out to East Lake, Thursday night to a cream festi val, and on Friday night we were given a complimentary musicale by a gentleman and lady whom we had met in Decatur. All the musical talent of the place was present, and we were highly entertained. Agnes Institute is of interest to visitors, and the cool shaded street called Candler street has some beautiful resi dences, and is one of the prettiest streets in town; in fact, Decatur, as a suberb of Atlanta, does credit to the city. The people are social, hospitable and cultured, and enjoy all of Atlanta’s advantages. Judge Jones, his wife and charming daughters, understand fully the art of en tertaining, and our visit to them grows daily more pleasant. We return to Barnesville this week to spend the remainder of vacation at home. With every good wish for Jackson and her people. H. R.

In this case as in all others, no charges were made, no gifts accepted, no advertisements solicited. Tne only interests con sulted have been those of our read ers. who asked honest, unpreju diced advice concerning the rela 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 sucli features is the lepori herewith given. We single out and indorse this high grade ot institution upon its own high merits alone. We commend it unquali fiedly to those who would discrimi nate between a business college which really ’fils its graduates for the highest positions of trust, and emphyyment in the business world ; and tiie unbusiness 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 offsuch 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 thelowes possible cost.

The three - year old stallion weighing between fourteen and fifteen hundred pounds is 15-1 G 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 dark chestnut brown, ball faced. The Clyde is superior to the Norman in that, while 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 *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 thing we need here it is better stock on our farms.
