ONE DOLLAR PER ANNUM. PEOPLE’S PARTY PRAYEIt. O Almighty Dollar, our acknowl edged governor preserver and bene factor, we desire to approach thee on this and every occasion with the rev ence which is the due of superior ex cellence, and the reward which shall be cherished for exalted greatness. Almighty Dollar, without thee in the world we can do nothing, but with thee w e can do all things When sick ness lays its paralyzing hands upon us tendered ot nurses, the inobUkillfulof I*l*3 sicians, and when ttie last struggle of mortality is over, and we are being borne to the restingplaceof the dead, thou canst provide a band of music and a military escort to accompany us hither, and last, but not least, erect a magnificent monument over our graves with a living epitaph to per petuate our memory. And while here, in the midst of misfortunes and temptations of life, w e perhaps are ac cused of crime, and brought before magistrates, thou, Almighty Dollar, canst secure us a good lawyer, a brib ed judge, a packed jury and we go scott free. Be with us, we pray thee, in all thy decimal parts, for that thou urt the only one altogether lovely and the one among ten thousand. We feel there is no condition in life w'hcrc thy potent and all-powerful charms arc not felt. Iu thv absenc* how gloomy is the household, and liow desolate the hearthstone, but when thou, O Almighty Dollar, art with us how gleeful the beefsteak sings on the gridiron, how genial is the warmth that anthracite coal or hickory wood diffuses throughout the apartment, and what an exuberance °t joy continues to sw’ell every bosom ‘ thou art worshipped the world over; thou hast no hypocrites in thy temple, or co false hearts at thy altars; kings * - 4 -- 1 - - WXJ Tt 111 w 4A ll Ct all nations adoro thee; thou art loved by the civilized and savage alike, with unfeigned and untaltercd affection; we continue to regard thee as the handmaid of religion avid (he twin sister of charity. O! Almighty Dollar, be with us, we beseech thee, attended by an unex piessible number of thy ministering angels made in thine own imajre, even they be but silver quarters and dimes, whoseglddemuglight shall illuminate the value of penury and want with heavenly radiance which shall cause the awakened soul to break forth in the acclamations of joy. Almighty Dollar, thou art the guide of our foot steps and the goal of our being. Guided by tho silv< ry light we hope to reach the golden gate and trium phantly enter while hands harmoni ously sweep the golden harp as we enter the golden streets. Almighty Dollar, thy shining face Bespeaks thy wondrous power; In my pockets make thy resting place, I need thee every hour. And now, Almighty Dollar, in clos ing this invocation, we realize and ac knowledge that thou wast the God of our grandfathers, the two-fold god of the children, and the three-fold god cf their graudchildren. Permit us to possess thee in abundance, m all thy excellence, is our constant and unwav ering prayer. BARTLETT IN SPALDING. The congressional race for this dis trict is now beginning to loom up, with Cabaniss, Bartlett, and Whit field in tHe ring, and the contest promises to be a lively one. Colonel Cabiuiss will not find it as easy sail ing in old Spalding as he did two years ago. The people propose to have a voice in saying who they de sire to serve them in office. At pres ent there is no doubt but that Judge Bartlett is by odds the preference in this county. —Griffin Call. With the candidates now lu the field Georgia will have excellent ma terial from which to select her next United States Senator, and while The Weekly has no special preferance, from our exchanges it seems that Hon. A. O. Bacon has a decided lead so far. TheLaGrange Reporter has thi* to say of him : “Tlie endorsement of Hon. A. O. Bacon for the senate by the Troup county democracy was the proper thing to do. Besides his peerless ability, patriotism and noble services to Georgia in the past, Mr. Bacon has peculiar claims upon the position. Gus Bacon nas our best wishes for his success, and we all hope to see him elected by the next geueral assembly to the high position he is so well pre pared by character and gifts to fill, with honor and benefit to the state.”— Usury County Weekly.
