urer, was on our streets Monday,

Mr. Fred Weibens, of Hartwell,
lectured to fair crowds at the academy
on the evenings of the 14th and loth
inst. We were not in the city, con¬
sequently did not hear him, but those
who did pronounced him both inter¬
esting and instructive.
We record with sadness the sudden
death of one of our neighbors, Mr. J.
IT. Vickery, which occurred at his
home on Sunday, 16th inst., at 1
o’clock, p. m. Mr. Vickery was in
usual health Sunday morning, and
was preparing for a drive to Toccoa.
While standing by the bed playing
with his baby just before starting be
took suddenly a severe pain in his
head, which was the beginning of a
paralysis that soon affected his whole
frame. He said to his wife, “I be¬
lieve I am going to die,” and these
were his last words. Dr. Lester was
called in at once, and Dr. Ketcher-
side, of Martin, reached him in a
short time, but their labors were in
vain, “the golden bowl was broken,
Mini (ho pitcher was broken at lii«
fountain,” and at 1 o’clock without a
struggle the spirit of ,f. li. Vickery
took its journey to that bourn from
whence no traveler returns. Mr.
Vickery was an industrious, enter¬
prising man, and to his untiring en¬
ergy is due his financial success. We
foci sorry for Mrs. Vickery and tin*
children, and mingle our tears with
theirs in this hour of unusual sadness
to them. lie was buried in a metalie
casket at Toccoa Tuesday morning,

E. S. Stonecypher, of near Carnes-

Candidates are beginning to bud
out, and there seems to be some fear
on the part of the would-be candi¬
dates that the Alliance will verge in¬
to a third party and carry the day.
We wish to say there is no danger,
as the Alliance is not for party but
for principle—a principle for right,
doing t he greatest good for the great¬
est number, with no class legislation
in favor of the trusts and combines at
the expense of toiling classes. The
man who gets the support of the
farmers’ Alliance will have to pledge
himself to this end.
Tlie question in The Enterprise
of “Hired Labor vs. Tenants” has cre¬
ated no little sensation among the
people, and at an informal meeting
the question was argued pro and eon.
The following conclusion was reached:
It is best for both landlord and la¬
borer to run on the tenant system,
provided you can get good tenants
that will work the land to advantage,
pay him for all repairing, such as
cleaving, ditching, fencing and ter¬
racing. If lie is not a good tenant
he is not likely to make a good hand
when hired, as his knowledge is not
of such as to trust him by himself.
Sometimes we cry,
Sometimes we laugh,
Sometimes its cold,
Sometimes it’s hot.
But for all this we have never wit¬
nessed such a transformation in the
seasons as the present, It verily
seems as if winter and spring had
changed places, spring coming in the
first quarter and winter the second.
March lias produced more snow, ice
and chilly winds than all the months
before. Sabbaths are so cold the
preachers are fearful if they under¬
take to exhibit their congregations
will complain of freezing to death.
Some of our farmers, becoming im¬
patient during the balmy weather of
February, commenced planting corn,
and now they are sighing for fear the
cold weather will rot it and they w ill
have to plant over.
A question that should immediately
eoneeiii evci * ilizeil of the L'Util t tV
is a dog law. When it
known that there is within the
of the comity thirty dogs to
sheep, and that these dogs are being
fed to the neglect of a great many
children, it behooves every eitir.cn in
the county to use their influence to
have every dog in the county taxed,
and add the. money to the common
school fund, thereby increasing the
same, and giving us the chances of
longer terms of schools and bettor
"teachers. Emin Pasha.
