Entered at the Posloffice at Douglan G i. as spc 'iid-cla h niriil matter. FRtIHY, MAY J, 189(i. Vroirileil Citie*. The cities are crowded, the towns are crowded, but there is plenty of room in the country. Yes, there is plenty of room in the country, and the towns and cities are running over, and still the country peaceful ages. ■ rill, is the spirit of the closing ccn ■ury. The world is on a rapid move and men despise to he behind the times and the country is so prosy and far in arrears of what seems up-to-date living. Men in town wear good clothes men in town hold up their shoul ders and walk rapidly and gracefully along the • i reels, men in town read the daily newspapers and keep abreast of the public questions; they have the advantage of the public libraries, they send to school nine months in the year, attend the theatres nightly, con verse glibly, transact business rapidly, have tint luxuries of the niaiket, get rich quickly, live fast, fail in business, get rich again,die early, have a big fu neral—and all this is attractive. True it is unnatural, hut men like it and that is why they leave the country and come to town. In the pristine* days of southern chivalry the country folk were the flower and strength of the south. TheyJamnod extensively, lived in fine old lfl^Bkjj^dr.‘<i l iiH ami duugh in the politics of high style and were respect, above the traders and mart hustlers of the cities. But the old south has giv en place to anew regime in which country life takes a second place, and people do not like tv hold the second place in the social and industrial sys tem of a nation, and hence the coun try people come to town. It will not always be thus. States manship is trying to solve this vital question and institute sot no means by which this influx to the cities may be cheeked. It is supping the vitals of a nation to adorn and glorify its external prominence. Statesmen have no need to worry over this problem : it Will cettlo itself, .lust as .the jiegro problem admits of no patent solution, but is gradually and naturally set tling itself, so will this super-energetic stride of the pendulum swing hack in to its natural heat. and the country! again will receive its due considera tion and her holds, her flower yards, j her libraries, her homes, her pristine i glory will la* renewed and the nut on | will feel a revival of naturalness that will allay the restless spirit which ren dors prosperity so uncertain. Men will discover that the glare and glitter of the cities, tile energy, the rapid progiv '|ho hurry, the quick step, the glib tongue—all, all that is, : s ohly a dress parade, a show, is superb-j rial and every iota of it strained. 1 Men are taxed to their very utmost j and many far above their capacity, to I keep up appearance**, tor these can not he ignored. All this is unnatur aland men will not continue always to live in an unnatural element when there is an escape. The country is abundantly open and five. 1 1 affords a gracious opportunity for a good liv ing. independence, and freedo m The overtaxed of the cities will grow weary of their.slavery, they will feek the rurals as a refuge. They will o rect comfortable homes, till them with attractions, establish better school and church privileges and pleat! for better roads. The y< ung men of the country wilt awake to their good fortune, grasp their opportunities, redouble their energies, and t : 11 re'Vr- •< Tills' Americas Herald is a year old. A promising child atone.

The Poulan Herald is little, hut let no one despise it for that. “Large oaks from little acorns grow/' The radical vice of the times is the desire to get something for nothing or as near to nothing as possible.

' r aeon city council has voted ¥lO - for tin: erection of an auditorium in that city, for the immediate accom modation of the state Democratic con vcnlioti and for future use in like as semblies. The sheriff at Indianapolis interposed and stopped a game of base hall that was to ha played in that city on last Sunday between the Imliapolis and Grand Rapid* clubs. He ought to have a gold medal and promotion. If there was no other ledceming virtue in the several candidacies of Mr. Turner, the fact that he lias nev er condescended to stab a political foe the back is suffieent evidence of his fairness and statesmanship.—Telfair Enterprise. —■ ■■.mi—.——■—TJ The Brantley Cos. of Blacks!,ear and the Grace company of Wnycross have fi,lined a combination to do business in Wuycross, and as they are both al ready strong firms, we predict that Wnycross will have one of the biggest drygood houses in Georgia. It may not he any of our business, but as our district is solid for a good man, we may he permitted to say that we are much in hopes that Judge Allen Fort, or a sound money man,may heat l.igc Lewis, the sycophant hanker, for Congros over in the. Crisp district. Dun’s Review of this week says money markets have grown more fa vorable and that the belief that agita tion for cheap money will be perma ently laid at rest this year is gaining ground, and in financial quarters causes more confidence for the future. • Says a great man, "you can fool part of the peop’e all the time, you mu fool all the people part of the time ; hut you cannot fool all the peo ple all the time. There is some consolation in this for the true man. but devilish little for political denta g goes. What is the matter with dis cussion between Governor A kinsou and Thomas E. Watson when the auditorium is built and the campaign is fairly on? What a crowd would at tend a meeting of th°so masters of p - lineal oratory.—Telegraph. They are too much alike in their views. At Oonleie, Lige l-ewis, candidate for congress from Mr. Crisp’s district was virtually made to acknowledge that ;io had bought over a newspaper that was in favor of J qdge Fort. The respectable people of the third district should bury Lew is so deep that h< will never presume upon respecta bility again. The A aldosta Times has discovered a deep lai<4 plot on the part of the silver men of the 11th. district to com bine. and defeat Henry G. Turner. Every true Democrat in Georgia should offer up prayer, and suppli cation that the d> al may be successful. —Statesboro Star. The Statesboro Star's idea of -[rue Democracy” is that McKinley is the best man for president, therefore let the Republi cans pray. ANNOUNCEMENTS. Announce in t his cola ns. Only s3*. 00.
