COUNTY LINE. Mr. Editors: Rain would help up, or at least we think so. Corn it growing nicely. Cotton is coming up. So you see there is moisture enough in the groti id to keep things growing, Rev. Alex Atkinson failed to till his appointment at County Line last Sabbath. He was not able to be there on account of illness. Mrs. Sallie Dercloss has been quite ill for some time past, but is much better at this writing. Brother lago thinks that Stubs will take the stump for a Westesu man. I never did think stump water was worth anything. People use to tell me that it would cure a ringwqjm. but it failed for me. A man that has not got merit enough in himself to get the office without stumping it, you hart better lot him stay at home. He might do like Cleveland. 1 guess some of the mei in Atlanta that join ed in the procession, when Cleveland was elected, would like to see him pulled out of the White House. Mr. Editors, I wish to inform Brother lago that Cleveland has demoralized the democratic party, and if you do not tlijok so, just wait and see. There were a good many men on the fence, just wailing to see which side to fall on, and Cleveland’s tetoof the seign iorage bill will shake a good many into the people’s party. I don’t think the democratic party should he held responsible for whal Cleveland has done. He Is just about as much of a democrat as Ex-President Harrison. He is like a good mule when you take the bridle off he will turnaround aod kick you over. Cotton chopping is the order of the day now. General Green is making tor a heavy fight. The grass seed were not all killed by the recent cold weather. I wi'l write next time on emigration. Quite a crowd from here went fish ing on Monday last and brought back some fish. Stubs. JACKSON DOTS. Mr. Editors: Your scribe has been charged with independence and changeableness. To both I plead guilty. Y T es; I am independent as far as circuuiatauces will permit, also open to conviction and liable to change. So I shall use this space in defense ef independence, the twin brother of liberty. Unite liberty and independence, and we can successful ly resist evils, and succeed in all laud able enterprises. Oh! how I wish the people ot America had more indepen dence. Oh ! how I wish we had more newspapers in this country today, upon the watch-towers of the citadel ot American liberty. To the independent press is due the respect and support of every true Amorican cit /en, because it promptly reports the movements of tne ene mies of liberty and free government. Majority of men need watching in this generation, and while they find no one on the tower watching for the people, the rohei'3 will confederate for the purpose of gain, and it ap pears to look as though authority is given to robbery, and that there is rank in the robber circles. The poor felonious robber occupying the low rank, tho legalized robber the higher, and the latter is not punishable be cause it is done according to law. The independent press is the only thing that educated villainy fears, be cause it educates the people and sounds the signal of alarm when their rights are threatened. The most gi gantic frauds pass unnoticed by the partisan orgaus for fear the exposure will injure the party. Awaken Amer icans! turn on the light, expose, de stroy fraud and le! this United States which was bought by the blood of our forefathers, be an unshackled nation, the land ofliberty and the homo of the brave. R. AY. M. JENKINSBURG DOTS. Mr. J. T. Miles, of Atlanta, spent a tew days with R. E. Bankston last week. Prof. Christian, ot Worthville, vis ited J. B. Childs last Saturday aud Snnday- Quite a crowd of our young ladies and gentlemen went to Atlanta Fri day with the Jackson excursion. Everybody has done been fishing aud now when they have lime they just sit around the burg and listen to Mr. Allen’s 40 rods at a jump swim ming tale#. Prof. Thompson’s school will picnic at Heflin Shoals Saturday. Of course, it will be a grand success. Jcnkins burg never docs anything by halves. Linen dusters are all the rage. We are thinking of investing in one our selves. A man by the name of Coxey Took a road that was rough and rockey. To speak in Washington was his endeavor But Captain Kelly said no, never. Then Coxey did swear and rail, ’Till he was carted off to jail, 1b jail he did fret and fumo. ’Till on his bond went Mr. Hume. Hume’s bond allows Coxey to “hump it” But who knows Coxey wont “jump it.” I ago. ANNOUNCEMENTS.
