There will be a regular old style

Jones county people never do things
by halves, and a nice ‘‘cue” with a

Our Sister county, Bibb,
opened tho campaign in local poli

OOL. J. II. ESTILL.
The special St. Louts fconstituton correspon
dents of tho Atlanta
and the Augusta Chronicle, are par
ticularly spiteful against this hon
orable gentleman. Their remarks
reflect altogether upon themselves
and not on Col Estill, for the people
of Georgia know him too well to
have any regard for these slurs and
slanders.
General Winfield Scott was once
challenged to fig it a duel by a man
who might thus have been brought
to the notice of the public, as he
never was. The brave old general re
spectfully declined the challenge,
when the would-be belligerent, in a
rage said he would go over the coun
ters and brand Gen. Scott as a cow
ard. When informed ofthis remark
the General, not taking his eyes
from the paper he was reading,
very quietly said “He will simply be
branding himself a liar. The
people of the United States know
me. ”
These correspondents ars simply
showing up in their true light as
slanderers. They charge trading at
the date convention in Atlanta to
the end that Col. Estill should be
made the Georgia member of the
National democratic executive com
mittee There was no more trading
than there was for any of the places
filled by the honorable gentlemen
who represented Georgia at St Louis.
All of tr.ese places were canvassed
for. the friends of each man doing
what they could in an honorable
way, lot their favorite. It developed
at the convention that Col. Estill
was the most popular man in the
state for the place to which lie has
been promoted; and there was no
reason on earth why ho should not
be made committee-man from Geor
gia, except forsooth, that the-e
el and cron s correspoiulendentg object
to a prohibitionist, being put on the
National Democratic executive
Committee.. Now as two-thirds and
very hke'.v thru -fourths of the dem
ocrats of Georgia are prohi
bitionists, it, is very meet and
prop, th.ri (hey should lmve a voice
in cho r.:g nmn who , represent . the
e-tab-. Col. Estill nor any other good
prohibition : st in Georgia, has beer,
immical to the democratic party,
t This is the shibboleth of
in this state. If a man is a prohibition
ist we know by that that he is a dem
ocrat, Some of the liquor men are
democrats and some are not.

PERPETUAL MOTION.
Talking about perpetual motion
why bless you, the country editor
is the living embodiment of it! IIo is
never absolutely at rest. From sun
to sun he is pegging away at the pa
per; for in nine cases out often ho is
editor, business manager, canvasser,
printer and pressman. And when
tho night falls, his labors are not
ended; for must be had for to--
morrow, exchanges skimmed and
culled from, delinquents billed and
contracts for cheap advertising at
tended to. And when at last sleep
lays her balmy hand upon his brow,
he lies down to dream of work and
that load of wood which John Jones
promised him and never brought
and keeps up a lively perspiration
chopping it in his sleep. Ob, yes;
the country editor has got perpetu
„\l motion down to a lino point.
