It i Spalding county's time to furnish the next senator from tho 20th district, and Colonel Walter Beeke, of Griffin, is being highly spoken of for this most re sponsible position. Anew political party has been launch ed on the troubulous seas of public sen timent. II is called the Poor Man’s party. It has its inception and concep tion at Shelbyville, lad., the nestor of political schemers. Under whose care ful guidance the inoubation took place no one seems able to divine, but certain it Is the Poor Man’s party has flung its gonfalon to the breeze defiantly, and is eager for a fray. According to the ritual and the tenets of the party no man who is worth more than $1,500 ean be nomina ted for an offioe. It is needless to state that this party will have a large follow ing among the country weekly publish ers of Georgia, so we hereby announco the Alien s edi tors in the race for Anything in sight—mostly the $1,600, which we haven’t. Attorney General Olney today, in re ply to a formal request, dated February 17th, sent to the secretary of the treas ury an opinion in regard to the legal status of silver certificates, in which he holds as follows: “Silver certificates are just what they purport to be on their faces and by their terms—that is, they attest the fact that the Uuited States has oh deposit so many silver dollars which will be paid to the holder upon the pre sentation and surrender of such certifi cates. If they can be regarded as money at all, it is only because the United States agrees to receive them ‘for cus toms, taxes and all public dues,’ and only to that extent and for those specif ic purposes. In my opinion,” the attor ney general adds, “they are not ‘lawful money’ within the meaning of section 4 of the aot of July 12, 1874, aud section 9 of the act of July 12, 1892. We haye a silyer dollor that some kind friend sent us iu the settlement of a nine dollar acoount we held against him, and Olney is causing that lone dollar to quake in our pockets. The only reason, however, that any of this is money is the one given by Mr. Olney above: That the United States agrees to receive it for customs taxes and all public dues. If the administration is geing to repu diate money it is time to repudiate th# administration or the people will repu diate the party they represent. CITIZENS’ MEETING. The citizens of Jackou met at the court house on Tuesday night to me morialize the council. Iu the main, the talks were all conservative. The members of the council present en tered iutothe discussion as citizen*, audit was evident that the hnding thought in every man's mind was the continued prosperity of our town. There was some little, vet y little talk of the cost of publishing the ordinan ces, as though we could get a council out of Jackson that would write the laws of the town on a piece of browu paper, aud keep them in the mayor’s office, allowing everyone te guess what they are. And there was some of the same kind of gush about higher salaries, as though Jackson could af ford to keep cheap men in charge ot her interests. We are glad that all the ta<k was far, tar above the trivial insignificant ideas above. The truth is, the futui e of Jackson for ten years and thousands of dollars in property, are at stake iu the settlement of this question. People from all over this country know the issue aud high li cense cannot prevail. Our country friends need not be uneasy for the council will not do anything to injure this town. Thero is now no discussion as to the amount of money to be raised. There is so money needed. The only question is how to equalize the privilege of license tax. It is, therefore, a questiou of expedi ency, as to method only. We conld see that night in every talk (hat the right will prevail and that Jackson will continue to lead in low prices, for good goods aud highest prices for all country produce Au obedience to the simple laws of hygene and the use of Ayer's Sarsapa rilla will enable the most delicate man or sickly woman to pass iu ease and safety from the icy atmosphere of February to the warm, moist days of April. It is the best of spring medi cines. Edwards runs through tho summor you ought to buy from him. ROLL OF HONOR.

On Saturday Mr. Elmo Andrews brought suit against Mr. Winant for 75 cents in cash, or the recovery of a cider keg, Judge J. 11. Ham officiat ing. After all the testimony was in Mr. Ilaru asked that he have time for reflection staling that swing to the gravity of the case he would postpone the matter two hours, but would fin ally give judgment for the plaintiff. If Hanes fixes your watch, it stays fixed. Try BLACtODRAUGh • tea for Dyspepsia. THE SPEAKING. Hon. W. Y. Atkinson, our next gover nor, was met at the Hotel Cleveland on Wednesday by our mayor, Judge E. E. Pound, and a number of our representa tive citizens, and escorted to the court house. It was discovered that half the people could not get sitting room, who were anxious to hear him, but they stood on foot and crowded the room to suffo cation. The speaker reached the hearts of the people, and made many friends. We nw some old soldiers shed tears when they were being alluded to, and heard them say that they were now Atkinson men, and that they believed Atkinson was as good a friend as the soldiers had in the world.

There wheat and corn mills, run by wa ter and situated atTewaliga, Ga., are in a splendidly equipped condition, and can grind fiom GO to 90 bushels of grain per day, So you need not be delayed long if you patronize these mills. Besides the courteous and accommodating miller, Mr. J. C. Moore, always keeps on hand fresh ground meal to exchanghe lor corn with those of his customers who do not wish to be delayed at all Meal and flour on hand at all times for sale at market price, Y our patronage to the mill is respect fully solicited. J. K. Carmichael, A dm’r. February 8, 1894. 1-m A better line of substantial jewelry is not to b§ found than is kept by Hanes, the jeweler. Carry your watch to Hanes and have It cleaned. Editor Fouche of the Henry County Weekly has been elected treasurer of the funds belonging to McDonough for the year 1894. It is now in order for tho council to purchase a lock and chain and fix Mr. Fouche so as he may not have tho advantage of emulating the example of Lewis Redwine. The position of treas urer is a very high and responsible one, and though the Jackson council are afraid to even trust us arennd the corner with a dog tag purchased on credit, it affords us much pleasure te know that there is one newspaper man on earth that can be trusted. Go to Hanes to have your re pair work done. AND THUS IT IS. Good heavens! To-day while walking the street, I heard a great uoise from all I would meet; Their faces looked angry, their words were not mild, Indeed, they were looking as if they were wild. % I stopped to enquire what the trouble could be, But only got further and further at sea; There was not a cessation —not even a pause, So I learned they were cursing the couneil’s new laws. They said that the council had taken a great bound, And taxed every creature in all of the town; And if they acceded to the lords’ broad say, ’Twould take all their goods and then couldn't pay. They would have to sell out aud oleee up their doors. And Jackson would be left without any stores, The treasury be empty without any tax, With the Mayor and council hung high on the racks. Aad then they would growl, and fume and would “cuss,” And the Lord only know* I never heard such a fuss, And they “cussed”—it’* a fact—l de clare it’s true, Till some of the houses were black, white end blue. At last they decided to call a big meeting, And to all of the counoil .they’d send a warm greeting And see if the differences could be adjusted. If not the whole town would be mined —be busted! D. J.T. Mr. Gunn has had the front of his store painted blue. That doesn’t mean that Billy Potts has the blues, however. Mr. Haynes is seriously contemplating having his store front painted black.

COUNTY LINE. Mr. Editor —Newsis scarce in these parts. It rains so much that .we can not do anything in the farm so we just have to spend the time on swap ping horses and getting married. There seems to be a revival in getting married at this time. There were two couples married close by here this week, and on ilie same day. The boys swap horses for the fun of it. Somebody is making money, I reckon It puts us in mind of the two boys that used to shut themselves up iu a room and swap pants all day and make three dollars a day. It is to lie hoped thatwc will have some fair weather soon, so that we can farm. Charlie Bartlett says that it rains every Sunday so he can’t go to see his girl. We are aorry' lor Charlie, however the best better not all marry at once, better divide up and save some for next fall. We have one or two old bachelors on the mar ket we would like for the girls to marry off before they get out of heart. We have a good county and in good condition. Most of the farmers have plenty ot corn and meat, and money seems to be plentiful, and just think flour at $3.30 a barrel, meat at 71-2 cenls a pound, and wages high. No man need to go to bed hungry, for every man that is willing to work can live it vve continue a few more years to raise corn and meat, we will be safe I endorse Mr. It. W. Mays on the subject ot county court. We have good schools all over the county, and our people are taking more interest in education, we are glad of it. Let our children be educated in morals, mu sic, temperance, charity, kindness, re spect for each other, and ere long it will be truly said: ‘This is the gar den spot of the world.” If this es cape? the waste basket, I will write again and will write on taxation.
