cupied by Adcrhold it Spears. The
Welborn boys are young men of
good habits and integrity. We wish

Representative Men of the Alliance.
It was our good fortune a few days
since to look on the representative
men of the Farmers’ Alliance of
Franklin county, and we do not hesi¬
tate to say that they were as intelli¬
gent and determined looking body of
men as we ever saw. We have
watched their work with much inter¬
est, and are gratified to know that
they have done much for the good of
their country. We extend to them
bur highest regards.
We Want It Here.
3Ir. S. 31. Ayers paid a flying visit
to Elberton Thursday and returned
Friday. He reports the little city as
being on a considerable boom, and
speaks very highly of her citizens for
the open manner in which they re¬
ceived him.
We think Mr. Ayers is somewhat
interested in establishing a shoo fac
tory at Ellierton or Carnesville. We
hope he will decide to establish the
factory here, as Mr. Ayers is a good
judge of business, and makes every¬
thing a success he takes hold of.
Carnesville will notallow Elberton to
scoop her iu this way.
Twelve Feet Under Rock.
Bill Connor, a Colored man living
with 31 r. John A. Moore, came very
nearly losing his life* a few days since
while working in a well for 31r. Will
3foore. The wall fell in on and cov¬
ered Iiim twelve feet with rock, as
was afterwards ascertained by meas¬
uring the rope covered. As good
luck had it the falling rock were im¬
peded by striking the bank before
they reached his head, which no doubt
saved his life. He was terribly
bruised, but was not otherwise injured
by his confinement of seven hours
under the wall.
Our Little Boy*.
AVe feel it our duty to speak a few
words to the parents of this town in
regard to their boys. Our little boys
are rude in the fullest sense of the
word. They are on hand at every
gathering, and do the principal part
of the talking, whatever the subject
matter may be. We have noticed
their bad behavior more particularly
at church, Sunday schools, debating
societies and the Literary Circle than
we have on the streets and public
square. AA'e know that it is natural
for them to romp and be boisterous,
and we like to see them enjoy inno-
cent sports, but when it comes to
their taking the lead on all occasions
we wish to enter our protest, AVe
never have a public entertainment of
any kind that their inexcusable bad
behavior does not detract from its
pleasantry.

lar meeting at the court house last

CARNESVILLE RAILROAD.
It seems that the Carnesville rail
road enterprise is taking on an inter¬
est and a determination, which prom¬
ises to be more thorough and effecual
than ever before. It seems to center
on one thing; and that is, the road
must now be built. Sure enough the
prospects are better and brighter than
they have been since the road was
first named, and it will doubtless be
put through this year, if matters con¬
tinue favorable as they are now. -
