us via the Griffin Call:
There is an organized movement on
amoug the negros of Spalding, Butte,

counties to torrn what they call a “Cit
izens'Union, v for the purpose of es
tablishing union stores to be opeiated
by men of their own color in the coun
ties named. Their organization is
something after the order of the far
mers* alliance movement and is likely
to meet with the same results, unless
their members stick close to the text,
as is held forth iu their printed cousti
'ution and by-laws. The “joining
fee” iu this union is to be $5.00; $2.50
cash down and the remainder in two
months, while the monthly dues shall
be decided upon by the board of di
rectors. Each member shall pay his
or tier part ot the rents, freights, Are
insurance, lights, oils, scales, and oth
er i ecessary materials. Any member
failing to comply with these laws,
without a lawful excuse, shall be ex
pelled from the union, and forteit all
liis or her claims upon the organiza
tion. One of the specific promises of
the constitution and by laws of this
unionist “An? member may with
draw from the union such lands or
supplies as his or her emaciated needs
may require, as long as they are finan
cial members of the union.” L, K.
Evans, a well known colored politici
an, it president of the union, and oth
ers of lesser note are filling the un
important positions.

A CITIZENS’ MEETING.
On Friday night last a citizens’ meet
ing was held for tbs purpose of deter
mining how the merchants of Jackson
stand toward the recent ordinances adop
ted by the city souncil of Jackson for
the year 1894. It was first proposed to
have the meeting take place ia the
court house, but as no entrance could be
gained to the court room, it was decided
to hold the meeting at the Star Store,
and accordingly the crowd, numbering
some forty or fifty of Jackson’s business
men, repaired thereto. The object of
the meeting was briefly stated and
sailed together by electing Captain
A. G. Hitchins chairman, and W. G.
Thompson, secretary. Section 19 of the
code was read, which ordinance forbids
a higher license than $25 to be imposed
upon merchants doing business in the
city. After a free discussion by those

assembled, a motion was made by Dr.
Mays to appoint a committee to wait
upon the council and ascertain whether
or not they would rescind the present or
dinances and adopt those in force for the
past year, whioli made the licenses more
nominal, and bears less heavily upon the
merchants. The chariman thereupon
appointed Messrs. R. L. Daughtry, B.F.
Moon, J. H. Carmichael, J.. W, Crum,
R. W. Mays, and L. R. Cason, and upon
a motion of Mr. Daughtry, the chairman,
A. G. Hitcliins, was added to the com
mittee.
After a humorous talk by Dr. Mays,
giving his experience as treasurer of our
town, in the days of want and disaster,
when there was no money to meet cur
rent expenses, he was bodily fired into
the position of treasurer of the oity of
Jackson. The treasury had just been
robbed of every cent on hand, and this
was one instance, when the office sought
the man. Everybody else was afraid to
take it.
As there was no other business before
the meeting it was adjourned.

ONLY $1.25 — GAZE ON THIS.
We call special attention lo our
clubbing arrangemant with the great
southern weekly, the Atlanta Consti
tution, which enables us to offer both
papers for the remarkably low sum of
$1.25 a year. The first duty of every
good citizen is to patroaize 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
is of the closest interest to him.
After he has provided himself with
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 Atlanta,
Ga., and having a circulation of
156,000 copies a week, the largest of
any weekly newspaper published in
America. It is 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
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
anil childi en’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 one, and we
will take great pleasure in forwarding
to The Constitution any names sent
us iu connection with our clubbing
offer at the remarkably low price
above given.
NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS!
All copy for new advertise nents. and
copy for change of ads. must be in the
office by Monday of each week, to assuie
their appearance in the following issue.
Tnis is positive, as we are always crowded
