Floyd county has seventy-five
miles o! macadamized roads, made
by county convict labor.
The increase of $600,000,000 in
the wool business under the new
tariff is a staggerer for McKinley.
A dispatch from Shanghai says
that the sixteen persons sentenced
for participation in the massacre of
missionaries at Kucheng have been
executed.
The Populists say that if loin
Watson beats Black for congress he
will he their candidate for governor
next year. And if he don’t—and he
won’t—he will be a dead cock in the
pit.
Owing to a decrease in attendance
and n waning of interest several bi
inetalic leagues recently organized in
this stale have been dissolved. Why
is it, a dub has never been organized
in this county?
The Populists are still claiming the
tree and unlimited coinage ot silver
at a ratio of 16 to 1 as a populist
idea, and yet some Democrats per¬
sist in their efforts to saddle it upon
the democratic party. Let the Pops
have it.
Why all this newspaper discussion
about the positions of Hon. O. B.
Stephens and Hon. R. Hobbs? Some
of the silveroons are making as much
fuss trying to keep these ggpMemen
on the side ot cheap money as if the
final settlement of the money qties
lion depended alone upon that. 1
That Spalding county tanner who
said "You can’t raise a sound gov¬
ernment on unsound money any
more than you can fatten a horse on
mouldy corn” is a philosopher.
Such men are more entitled to make
laws than all the experimenters of
the legal profession.—Macon Tele¬
graph.
Dr. Felton threatens to enter suit
against Solicitor General Fite, ofCar
tersvillc tor for $r 00,000 damages for
alleged slander of himself and wife.
A jury should be unusually cautious
about giving damages for slander to
the doctor. It might encourage
gation of this kind to such an extent
as to seriously overburden the courts
with such cases.
The attorneys of Sidney Lascel
les, “My Lord Beresford," have
been notified that he has been
sued for divorce by his wife in New
York, who wants her maiden name
restored to her. This means the
practical pauperization to Beresford,
as Mis. Beresford, nee Maud Lilien
tlial, fell heiress to an estate estimat
* d at from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000.

1 he horseless wagon has made its
appearance in America. One was
brought from Paris and put on trial
in New York the other day. The
inventor claims that the wagon’s run
ning expenses daily is less than that
required in keeping a horse. The
test made iu Washington Park was
conducted by an operator who came
over with the wagon from Paris. The
engine is concealed in a square
wooden box in the rear, and it is said
to be almost noiseless. It is a petro¬
leum air engine that provides the
motive power and its maximum speed
is sixteen kilometers an hour. A
crank in trout guides the vehicle with
ber and the wagon is light, staunch
•nd trim.
A fearful wreck happened to an
East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor¬
gia train last Friday, in which sixty
persons were injured and Mrs. C. W.
Hancock, of Americus, and Messrs.
A. J. Kendall and R. H. Herrington,
lost their lives. The train was carry
ing several hundred excursionists—
Knights of Pythias and their friends
Macon to Indian Springs,
where a hall was to be given and
other recreation sought. There was
a holiness convention in progress
there at the time, and the holiness
people becoming indignant because
of the proposed dance, prayed that
God would use his power to prevent
such interference with their meeting.
Some of them claim that the accident
was in answer to their prayer and
praised Hod for it If such fanati¬
cism as that constitutes the so-called
holiness, we don’t wonder that there
are so few professors of the laith.
A fire broke out in Blakely about
3 o'clock last Wednesday morning
which destroyed all the stores on the
north side of the public square be¬
tween Cuthbert and Fort Gaines
streets. The fire originated in Deal’s
barroom, and had gained such head¬
way that it could not be controlled
until it had reached a street on either
side. The losses are estimated as
follows: R. C. Smith, three stores
and stock, $ii, 000; Ivey & Perry¬
man lost $500 on stock; James Butler,
storehouse, $1,000; B Chancy, store¬
house, $1,200; Thomas IFilliams,
clothing and tools, $300; C. M. Deal,
bar fixtures and stock, 3,000, insur¬
ance 1,000. There was no other in¬
surance except that held by Deal.
Even the rrce silver organs ac¬
knowledge that “notwithstanding the
slump in property values, under the
measure of the golden yardstick,
Georgia is rapidly advancing in an
industrial way.” It seems to us that
if the latter condition can exist nnder
a single gold standard, the cause of
the former condition is incorrectly
stated.
There is a city in Scotland all the
streets of which are said to be paved
and are kept perfectly clean, and all
the alleys are swept and sprinkled
once a day. It is one city the dust
of which no man ever shakes from
his feet. An American going there
would no doubt be required to brush
back of his breeches before sit
down.
from 4|iiafllolmiiiu’K Mill,
September!—sweetest month in the
year—
When few flowers wave and nod;
I love it dearly, for it brings to me
My favorite, the golden rod.
Of all the flowers that bloom and fade
On the hillside and on the lea,
The beautiful, peerless golden rod
Is the flower that blooms for me.

house business, Mr. S. J. Raley again
tills that position. Up to the iast city
election he had served the town three
years in that capacity, and made a
faithful, conscientious officer, Ilis re

TO OCR FRIENDS AND OCKTO.TIKKS
We Dive u Few Fact* Upon Which
You Hay Rely.
Yon can buy goods of us as cheap or
cheaper thau you can get anywhere else.
You can get as good or better prices We tor
cotton than at any other point. above
don’t propose to boom the price
its actual value at the opening order nor any
other time of the season in to ex¬
cite patronage this way, but. full value
will lie given at all times, our advantag'
es being second to none in all depart¬
ments of our business.
To those who owe ns for accommoda¬
tions extended this year, or anionuts
carried over from last we shall expect
prompt payments from first cotton. We
hardly think we have a customer, after
the experience of the last few years, silly
enough to think we can wait the the conve¬ fool
nience of their leisure or upon
ish idea of holding cotton for a higher
price. We would judge a mau that
would do such a thing in the face of the
pressure and strain under which we car¬
ried them this year, trying to beat us off
and place their own misfortunes upon
our shoulders. With such treatment we
w ill proceed at once, with the best means
we have at law’, to collect.
The market is experiencing now, in
the advance price over last year, the ef¬
fected the poor crop in prospect, and is
perhaps higher than it will be when the
receipts begin to run above the present
estimate as indicated by the reports.
With many thanks for past favors and
hoping for a continuation of same,
we are, very truly, Risft.

tunity to gei a good combination horse so cheap.
