But maybe the Republican hold
overs are Cleveland Democrats, like
Gresham.—lshmalite.
Democrats can be united only on
the platform. It is absurd to hope
for united and vigorous party action
on a programme involving the re
pudiation ot any of the platform
pledges. The papers and the lead
ers who are opposing free coinage
are making united party action an
impossibility. If they will get back
on the platform, the day may yet
be saved. —Ishmalite.
The Argus is and has been all

democratic newspaper, but that
does not hinder us from denouncing
the party leaders, or rather those
we*ve put in power, for their slow
ness in carrying out the platform
on which they were elected. We
believe in the Bible doctrine, that
whatever the hands find to do, do it
with thy might. If the financial
matters of the country are to be
remedied, let’s have it at once.

ble. One man grumbles because
another man grumbles. He said
he didn’t know of any actual suffer
ing, everybody had plenty to eat
and seemed to be enjoying them
selves. He iurther exclaimed, the
man with plenty at home, with
prospect of abundant crops, even
if he had but little money, was a
free and independent citizen, and
didn't ask parties or politics any
odds. —Marietta Journal.

A WAR STORY.
(bv a butts county soldier.)
CHAPTER VII.
After recovering from the shock
I did not feel like making any dis
play on the streets of the capitol, so
[ boarded the first train that went
in the direction of mv command
and went back to camps. I then
went before the examining board
and stood my examination, I re
ceived my commission and entered
upon the duty that lay out betore
me.
We remained in camps until
sprirg, then started out on the
summer campaign. It would con
nume too much time and take too
much space in your valuaole paper
tor me to mention all that I could
call to mind, therefore I will only
mention a few of the most impor
tant incidents.
During that campaigu the battle
of Chancellorsyille wft3 fought,
where that good and brave .man,
Stonewall Jackson, lost his life
while in the discha-ge of his duty.
The yankee army was st’ll trying
to get to Richmond and our army
met therm at Chan cliorevilie; a.,cl
there several brave and good men
lay down their lives for their coun
try. On the evening the battle
commenced we were marching in
the direction of where the cannon
ading was going on. Stonewall
had his command to file to the I f’
and march through woods and
plantations for several miles in a
different direction to where the
fighting was going on. He knew
what he was doing, but none of his
men knew. He was makii g this
movement to get in the rear of the
enemy, and he did so; for a lab
hour that night we were right into
where the yankees were cooking up
rations for the next day, and within
a short distance of their main 1 ne
of battle. We formed a line ol bat
tle, and it was here where that
noble man, while riding through
the woods between the lines, re
ceived the fatal wound. The yan
kees were nearly surrounded ; but
they spent the night in throwing up
breastworks and preparing for the
next day. ' N
On the following morning just as
the sun was rising the signal gun
was fired, and the order was given
for the whole line to make the at
tack at the same time. We were to
charge their breastworks. The
orders were that ve would not fire
on them until within fifty yards of
their line, and then two men from
each company were to fire, and as
that would draw their fiie, we were
all to fall down and as soon as they
fired we were to rise and be on to
them before they had time to re
load. It worked like a charm ; for
we were on to their breastworks in
less time than it takes to write this.
A great many of them gave up as
prisoners, and lots of them took
•‘leg bail.”
Just here one amusing incident
occurred. The yankees were so
confident of holding their position
that they had laid off their canteens
and haversacks, and it was their
custom to have a well filled havre
sack with ground coffee. It was a
great treat for the rebs to get hold
of them. We lad in our company
a young man who was very' fond of
coffee, and the first thing he did
after we crossed the breastworks
was to supply himself. He was
very small, and when he had gotten
some half a dozen or more strung
around bis shoulders it was about
all he could do to travel. But we
were still in pursuit of the enemy,
they firing back at us and we re-
turning the fire; and I always did
believe it was some of our own men
that wounded the little coffee man.
A minnie ball passed through one
of his sacks of coflee and took a
plug out of his hip. He called to
me and said someone had shot him.
I told him to go back to the camp,
and he replied that he would as
soon as he could get more coffee;
and he did go back. After ve had
run the yankees back to the river,
we went back to the turnpike road,
all nearly worn out, and it was here
the little coffee man came to his
company still clinging to his coflee,
and we had a feast on sweetened
coffee and “hard tack.’' Then we
went down to the turnpike to assis:
in drivifig the main line back across
the river, but before we got to Chao
cellorsvilie tbe yankee army was
; o j the retreat and the rebs in pur
suit.

-! ENORMOUS STOCK OF MEHISE,
Our already large store rooms have been made
larger, and yet we find we need more room.
Our low prices will astonish the public, will be the
talk from house to house for miles around. Would
be competitors will be astounded and wonder
H cTn Self HOW haJ ML
As soon as the season opens, a great rush will be
made on The Star Store. We are fully prepared for
the occasion and will tell you more about it next
week.
General Thomas saw some yankees
at a house that was in a field off to
our left nearly a half mile and he
called for volunteers to go and cap
ture them. I informed him I
would go if he would let me pick
my men. He did so. I selected
twenty brave men and went through
the woods until we got on the back
side of the house. We immediately
made charge, expecting to do some
thing grand, but when we got to
the house there were only six yan
-1 yees ther? and thev were all sick ;
but a fine supply of clrthing and
guns had been left with them. All
my men who wanted them got a
good suit of clothes, and we all took
what guns we could carry and the
sick yanks and went back to our
command. The yankee army re
crossed the river, and thus ended
mother bloody battle.

LOOKING SOUTHWARD.
Attention is being drawn to the
agricultural South perhaps more
than eevr, now that such low prices
prevail for farm products The
fact of being able to profitably cul
tivate the ground nearly every
month in the year, the mild cli
mate, low cost of land and living,
and quickness with which the
Southern soil responds to scientific
farming, all tends to turn the e• es
of many farmers toward the beau
tiful southland rather than the
West.—American Farmer.

GRAPES FOR CIIICAG O
We learn that Mr. Hope Tigner,
ot Meriwether county, shipped 20-
000 pounds of scuppernong grates
to Chicago last week. He has an
eight-acre arbor from which he
clipped all the grapes with the
stems attached and packed then
in crates, Mr. Tigner investigated
the matter and learned that no
scuppernongs had ever been seen
in Chicago. He went along with
his grapes and expects to realize a
large pfofit from his shipment if it
reaches Chicago in good condition.
