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 D*PRJCFS (M^Powder The only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder.—No Ammonia; No Alum. Used in Millions of Homes— 40 Years the Standard 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. j Continued next week] Don’t buy tobacco till you see our 42 1-2 cent goods, reduced from 50c. Fennell, Thompson k Cos. 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. Spencer’s Grand Tobacco for 421-2 cents per pound -best tobacco on the market, former price 50cents. See it. Fennell, Thompson & Cos. HOI,DON, BOYS! Hold on to virtue —it is above all price to you, in all time and places Hold on to your good ibaracter, tor it is, and ever will be, your best wealth. , t— mi-co your hand when you are about to strike, steal or do any improper act. Hold on to the truth, for it will serve well, and do you good throughout eternity, Hold on to your tongue when you are just ready to swear, lie or speak harshly or use an improper word. Hold on to your temper when you are angry, exeitpd or imposed upon, or others about you. Hold on to your heart when evil persons seek your company and in vite you to join their games, mirth and revelry. Hold on to your good name at all times, for it is much more de sirable to you than gold, high plat e or fashionable attire. A negro in Liberty county claims to be a second Moses, that is to lead his people through the wilderness. He will find it a long journey be fore he reaches the wilderness. The Dalton Argus enthusiasti cally exclaims: “Hurrah for our farmers, any way ! They are the freest of the free in this land of the free. Women or men who bear tales, who betray confidence and make mischief with their tongues, are vulgarians of the most despica ble type. They are dangerous people and should be avoided by peace-loving and good mannered people.
