When Adlia Stephenson said
the extra session would likely last
two weeks, he did not know just
exactly what kind of congress we
actually hid.
Who cares if every pound of sil
ver in the United States were coined
into dollars? We w< uld then not
have enough money to properly
handle our enormous products.
There is only one negro member
in congress, and he is said to be as
black as a black cat in a black sack
in a dark cellar on a dark night,
and is from South Carolina.
At a recent dinner of journalist
the following toast was proposed :
“Women—the fairest work in all
creation; the edition is large and
no man should be without a copy.’*
HIHV i ‘ 16“slt up and
draw five thousand dollar* a year,
while millions of people are suffer
ing? We apprehend that after two
years some of them will be states
men out of jobs.
You may talk about tariff reform,
bimetalism, free coinage of silver
and so on. but if our farmers could
get 12 cents for cotton, all will be
happy and our whole section will
be prosperous. This would settle
the financial question.
Jackson Bussell, of Irwin county,
a boy 12 years old, has plowed and
worked forty acres of land in corn,
cotton, cane and potatoes this year
The corn crop will yield nearly 800
bushels; two bales long cotton;
000 bushels potatoes, and several
barrels of syrup. Where is the boy
or man who can beat this?
Some of the greatest men Amer
ica ever produced, met at Chicago
last year and consolsidalated what
is known as the “democratic
platform/' and pledged themselves
to each plank. Now that the dem
ocratic party has assembled at
Washington, it does not know what
it wants. Congiessmen, the plat
form needs your attention just now.
--Irwington World.
The saving common sense ot the
American people has always pulled
the country out of ruts into which
Unscientific legislation and ignorant
demagogy had pushed it. This
saving power is again called into
U3e, and that it will be equal to the
occasion and the demand on it we
cannot doubt. The squeeze will
presently disappear, and it will go
because the mass of intelligent citi
zens combine to make it vanish.
Then we shall have good times for
a term of years.—Tradesman.
A negro asked Tom Watson about
voting to dnprive Anthony Wilson,
a negro, of his seat in the Georgia
legislature ten years ago. He re
plied that he had voted with Mr.
Turner on that occasion. The
truth is Mr. Turner was in congress
at that time and had been for sev
eral years, and Dan. Rountree was
in the legislature from Brooks. It
was probably six or eight years
prior to that time when Mr. Turner
was in the Georgia legislature.
Torn is growing desperate.—Val
•dost a Times.
CO-OPERATION.
In the broadest sense of the word,
the whole world is a co operative
enterprise. One man will farm for
another il he will weigh coiion for
the fanner, and another will mer
chandise for the community if they
will tarm, blacksmith, manufacture,
etc., for him, and it is every man's
duty to make him&elf an expert
in his chosen vocation and not have
any avocation. Thus w-e see co
operation is simply business when
properly applied, but the word is
now being used to gull the simple
and impose upon the creduilty of
the weak. No one man can make
a good warehouseman and a good
farmer and a good merchant, I?
requires three men. Hence, we see
the folly of evervbody trying to be
everything, and cooperation is be
ing rode to death by the new con
structionists.
The truth is, two or three tn°n
will claim to he the owl}* ones ot the
whole crowd that knows how to
tonnage the thing, and they get all
the money there is in it and the de
luded customers are compelled to
make out on what little “eohoot r
there is in it So 09 per cent, of
the so called br"therhood are dis**
appointed when the spoils are
divided so as to give a lew the
money and the remainder the ‘*co
hoot.”
The maa who c; ens up a busi
ness and charges all alike and treats
ill alike will surtly s<’joerd after a
wii le, for he is the < tly one really
doing a straight In ward business.
O, Solon, can you tell us why, if a
man ca ; - -weigh your cotton and
premises to give you back what he
charges you, that he cannot lot you
keep it? Why can a man weigh
and give it back, if he cannot let the
owner keep it? If co-operation is
profitable, why charge the same
price the other fellow does? Work
cheaper, weigh for nothing! You
can do it, if you can pay it back.
ONLY $1 40-GAZE ON THIS.
We call special attention to our
clubbing arrangement with the great
southern weekly, the Atlanta Consti
tution, which enables us to offer boih
papers for the remarkably low sum of
$1 40 a year. The first duty of every
good citizen is to patronize his home
paper. He wishes to become thor
oughly conversant with his county
matters, and only through his home
paper can he expect to be supplied
with the current county news, which
ia-aLtkc .clnsflsJ Trim
his home paper his next consideration
of those who are not within easy
reach of a first-class daily newspaper
should be to select a first-class weekly
newspaper supplying all the general
news ot the world, and paying special
attention to features which are of par
ticular interest to the household and
the farm.
Just such a paper is The Weekly
Constitution, published at At’anta,
Ga., and having a circulation of
156,000 copies a week, the largest of
any weekly newspaper published in
America. It i9 essentially a farmer’s
paper and stands at the head of the
weekly press of this country. Its
agricultural department alone is
worth the subscription price of the
paper, while it numbers among its
contributors such well known names
as Bret Harte, Mark Twain, Joel
Chandler Harris, Sarge Plunkett, Bill
Arp, and a host of others, whose rep
utations are world wide. Its women
and children’s departments are pre
pared with a special view to please the
little folks and the women, and its
news columns literally cover the face
of the earth.
We aie enabled to offer both papers
at practically the price of on*-, and we
will take great pleasure in forwarding
to The Constitution any names sent
us in connection with our clubbing
offer at the remarkably low price
above given.
Congress was called to enact
laws that would give financial
relief to sixty-five million people.
They have been in session now
almost two months and nothing
done yet. If they value the
democratic party as anything
they must act at once, for the
people are leaving it like rats
from a burning ship. Let the
people in every county meet and
pass resolutions of indignation
over the tardiness of our law
makers. Forbearance lias ceased
to be a virture.
The Dublin Post, whose editor
probably knows all about the mat
ter, says: ‘ When two young peo
ple marry for Jove they both marry
a fortune, although they may be as
poor as a couple of Job’s shabbiest
turkeys.”
They tell us of 58-ceut dollars.
We know tis sa’d there are sev
eral hundred million silver dol
lars m circulation, but we will
guarantee there are more 58-cent
fools than 58-cent dollars in cir
culation. Thus saith the Jesup
Sentinel. Shake, brother!
A WAR STORY.
(by a r.rrrrt county soi.dieh.)
CHAPTER VI.
The yankles had concluded lo
try another route to Richmond
this time by the way of Fredericks
ourg; and on the 13th day of De
cember they crossed and attacked
the rebels There we iad a hard
fight. Gen. Tnomas’ brigade was
t> support a brigade fiom North
Carolina. We were some three or
four hundred yards in tlieii rear,
and while we were awaiting orders
to move forward the cannonading
and reports of sm ill arms was
almost deafening. The swamp rab
bits would run out through our
lines and some of the boys would
holler out: “Go it, old hare; if
I had no more at stake than you I
would too.” After a desperate
struggle our first line had
to give way, and the North Caro
lina brigade came back to where we
wer3, perfectly demoralized ; but
we stood still and did not fire until
the yankee l'r.e was within fifty
yards of ours. Then we pouted a
volley into them that caused them
to retreat, and in less time than it
takes to write this the Georgia
brigade was running them back
over the same ground that they had
run the North Carolinians over, and
we uever stopped until they
had been driven back across the
river. Some of them ran into the
river and went down into a watery
grave, and thousands on both sides
lay on the battlefield after the bat
tle was over. We had possession
of the battle ground, but they sent
out sharp shooters and General
Thomas called for volunteers to go
out and exchange shots with them.
Three men besides myself volun
teered to go. We had an open field
be'ween us, the Yankees on one side
and the rebels on the other. We
exchanged several shots at each
other. Here I had three bullets
shot through my blanket that I had
around my shoulders. We four
were sitting down side by side, and
one of the men was shot in the
head and fell across my lap and nis
Drains ran out on me.
Dear readers, this was a taste ol
the horrors of war. I had seen men
shot at the stake; I had seer, my
comrades fall in battle; but this
put a different feelit g on me to any
thing I had eyer experienced.
We had given the yankees a good
thrashing and they gave up the idea
So we ail went into winter quarters.
During the summer and fall cam
paign the health of Capt. H. failed
and he got a discharge and went
home, and the first lieutenant was
promoted to captain and the second
lieutenant to first and the third lieu
tenant to second, so we had to elec!
a third lieutenant. There were sev
eral aspirants, but the contest nar
rowed down to the first sergeant
and myself. On the morning of
the election the first sergeant called
the company into line and told
them all that vas going to vote for
him to go with him to the Suttler’s
tent and he would treat to ginger
cakes, but it did not < ost him much.
(And it strikes me that this would
be a good plan for some of the
Jackson candidates—just treat
those that will vote for them and
their expenses will not be so
heavy.) I was elected to fill the
office and the day was set for me to
go before the board and be exam
ined. So I got a pass for three* days
to go to Richmond to buy a uni
form. I stopped at the American
Hotel, went out and bought my
new suit, went back to the hotel
and went down into the cellar
where the barber shop and the bath
room were kept. 1 had not seen
myself in a mirror since I parted
with Miss Liza. I had some beard
on my face and plenty of dirt on
my person and my hair was very
long. I went into the bath-tub
and washed off, then had my hair
cut short, then shaved and then
jumped into my new suit of clothes.
Now, dear reader, this was one of
my upe, for I had risen from fifth
sergeant to third lieutenant and my
wages raised from seventeen to
eighty dollars per month.
I was now readv to step out on
the streets of the capiiol of the
Confederacy, but the door was shut
and it was dark down in the cellar

and I mistook a large glass that
hung nea r the door for the door and
stalled to go out, when I saw my-
Sril in the fcla.-s. I t •ought it Was
so i:t* one coming in, and, I, b ii.fc
very polite with my new suit on,
stepped hat k and waited a moment,
then started again, but here came
the same man ; so I stepped back
and waited again, but as be did not
came in I started again, hit here
he was, lace to face. Then I be
came angry and drew back to mash
his mouth for his impudence, but
just at that moment the barber who
had waited on me stepped up and
led me to the door.
Now, bear reader, this wa3 one of
my downs. I felt just like I wanted
to get off in some hack alley and
kick myself.

MAKING HAY.
We are asked by a farmer
friend to commend this, from
the Constitution, to the farmers
around Jackson:
Let our farmers devote all their
spare time to saying hay. The
crow-foot grass and the Bermuda
grass make the very best hay
when properly cured. Carloads
of hay are coining to our mar
kets from the west and east,
when we have better grass to
make hay going to waste in our
fields Home-made hay is bet
ter, and saves money to the
tanner and keeps money in the
State. It is better to hiri help
to save the hay than to have to
pay a high price for an inferior
article in the winter and spring.
The time spent in hauling hay
from the depot to farms, if used
in saving hay, will feed many a
head of cattle in the winter with
a better quality of hay.
Fill up your barns and out
houses, and if yon have any to
spare next spring, tlisre will he
a good marxet for the surplus.

cents per pound -best tobacco on the
