He said that a black ropub lican in his neighborhood had an noonced that Harrison had “tookon hi? east” and that “when Mr. Harri son looked his seat Mr. IlarriBon gaaed at thoso around him and said i “Boys, lot ire sit hero and regt eight days before you pester mo.” The negro stated further that he had “beared” that a state alliance out West had sent an im mense broom £o Mr. Harrison, and that printed on a card tacked to the handle thereof was the request: “Sweop the democrats out clean.” A farmer of Schley county has a eat that hag developed tho samo in terest iq elothos pins that an ordi nary cat takes in mouso-catching. and she parades with bor captains with just as much pride. She has over dovoted herself to collecting lost clothes inns, and not a few that were not lost. Sirimgo to say, she never touches the pins belonging to her owner, bnt is death on clothes pins which belong to the neighbors. In the past three months she has brought home over twenty-eight dozen clothes pins, and inquiry shows that tho cat keeps her eye on the place where the pins aro kept. One neighbor kept a basketful ot pins on a tin roof and tbo eat had to pass ov*r two o~ three roofs to got them, but sheeuccecdcd in taking throe dozen from the basket before she was discovered.

T. De Jarnette, of Putnam, as a suitable man for the Presidency ot the Sin e Alliance. In suggesting his name we feel assured that all who know him will fully endorse all we say of him. and those unacquainiel with him will, upon inquiry, find him fully qualified for this offi ;e. Dr. DeJarnette is no politician; has never sought office or endeavored to become prominent in political circles, and yet he wouid have been often preferred by his people ha 1 b, consented to their solicitations. In 1886 he was elected to the State, Senate from the 18th distri ct. which was his first, appearance in public life. In thi 3 office he distin guished himself and honored his constituency. After his term cf offi''e expired he was solicited to run for the Douse, but, having served his people once, and having nr political aspiration he firmly refused to make the race. .Da allows the use ofhi 8 name for this position only after earnest solicitation, and with the solo idea that he may snyc the Alliance, The best years of this gentleman have been devoted to farming, in, which pursuit, as in a ; l others , he has been eminently successful. Having always been devoted to the development of his country, and particularly her agricultural in terests, his splendid executive a* bility has been often honored and relied upon. He was a director and one Of the originator? of the fi rs: Agricultural Fair held in Georgia after the war. lie was president of tho Agricultural (Tub of Putnam which made the celebrated exhibit at the Piedmont Fair. He Is now President of o’Ur local Alliance, and of the Alliance Board of Trade of Putnam, which has put into opera tion the only co-operative store in the State which refuses to extend credit to any, but which is now doing a cash business of$109,060 per an num. He was appointed by Governor Gordon a delegate to the Inter State Agricultural Convention which.met in Atlanta in 1887. During which convention he was tendered tire Vice-Presidency but refuged to accept this office. Since the organization of the Alliance fin Georgia heha 3 been one of ite most earnest supporters, and if elected will serve this body with his whole heart. Fra'ernally Yours, JoE.v T. Desxis, Rout.
