The Carnesviile railroad will ben¬
efit every subscriber more than his
subscription, so don’t be in the way,
but turn over your subscription.

If you haven’t signed away your
stock in the Carnesviile railroad, do
so at once, and help to hasten the
road’s completion. V our stock would
be a hindrance to the operating of
the road and might be found expen¬
sive to you rather than profitable.
What i, Wrong With the Mails'!
Our subscribers arc constantly
eomplnininy to us that they do rot
got their papers. We arc compelled
to say that there must be carelessness
connected with our mail facilities, for
we know that each and every sub¬
scriber’s paper is mailed to bim every
week. We know bow unpleasant it
is to look for your paper a certain
day and not get it, but not to get it
at all is not to be endured. Some of
ouo subscribers tell us that unless
they get their paper more regularly
that they will be compelled to stop
it, as they cannot afford to pay for it
and not get to read it. This state of
affairs is not only an injustice to our
subscribers, but is also damaging to
us, as it Aviil certainly curtail our cir¬
culation. But that that the complaint
may not appear too sweeping we will
say that the dissatisfaction is not gen¬
eral but only in sections. Wo hope
there will be no room for more com¬
plaint.

Literary Circle for to-night (Friday).

Road Cart Given Away.
I have concluded to give some ouo
man in the next twenty who buys a
buggy from me a road cart free. To 1
'
determine who shall get the cart 1
have prepared a list of twenty num¬ I
.
bers, (from 1 to 20) and whenever I
sell a buggy the person buying will,
get a chance at the cart free. Judge
McKenzie has the lucky number in a
sealed envelope in the Ordinary’s of-
fice, and no one know., the number
except himself. When twenty bug¬
gies are sold the envelope will be
opened, and the person whose name
is opposite the same number in the
envelope will receive the cart. Re¬
member, I will sell buggies at regular
price, and will not charge anything
extra for the chance at tho cart.

A Bogus Census Enumerator.
Last Monday tho people of Stranges
district wore visited by a negro cen¬
sus enumerator. He worked faith¬
fully all day in the district, and was
especially inquisitive as to how much
money his subjects had on hand. The
citizens who answered his questions
became suspicious of his conduct and
went in pursuit of him, finding him
at night at 3Ir. Robert Neals. We
have not heard the particulars, but
from tho best information we can
gather tbe gentleman of color was
bathed iu hickory-withe liniment and
seut in another direction.
Resolutions.
Resolved, That the Carnesviile
sub- Alliance, No. 1030, afthr mature
deliberation at their regular June
meeting, ddcidod tltat the Alliance is
non-political, and that they, as an or¬
ganization, would say nothing as to
their preference to any political office,
and instruct their delegates to the
County Alliance to use their influence
in said meeting to get the County
Alliance to adopt the same measure.
W. II. Rampley, President.
S. M. Avers, Secretary.
Confederate Veterans, Attention!
All of the Confederate veterans of
Franklin county are requested to be
at tho court house in Carnesviile on
the first Tuesday in July next, at 2
o’clock, p. m., to transact business
pertaining to the reunion on August
Cth, next. A full attendance is de¬
sired. J. M. Phillips,
Secretary, Camp Millican,
Confederate Veterans’ Asso’n.
Political Pledges.
Avoid political pledges. They arc
very much in a fellow’s way some¬
times. You can serve yourself and
country more satisfactorily by keep¬
ing yourself at liberty to vote as you
please on election day.

The l'oor Gills' College.
Messrs. Kuitohs: Lot us reason
t got her. It -srely will b.* ad mil ted
by all the good people of our county
the grave necessity of giving our*
selves to the noble work of raising a
fund necessary to educate one girl
each year at this school, Will moth¬
ers longer bo silent upon this impor¬
tant subject, and see the precious
ones, who too often throw themselves
away because of an opportunity they
would lay hold upon, for the want of
means to put their ambitions into ex¬
ecution? They become despondent,
and go from bad to worso until their
bright hopes are blasted for time and
eternity. Strong minded women of
our state have been managing to pro¬
cure a home to reform the fallen wo*
men of our country. But why not
put a barrier between them and the
fall by the women of our county em¬
bracing this golden opportunity to
organize our county into a Boor Girls’
Industrial Society, and create a fund
sufficient to keep at least one of the
daughters t f our county into this Jn-
dustviii College at Mi Hedge ville?
Lot me suggest a plan, but will ac¬
cept a better. Seme start mu t be
made.
Let the good women of Carnesviile
organize themselves into a society to
be known as “The Poor Gills’ Indus¬
trial Society,” and send out a circu¬
lar invitation to every church m the
county to join them in this good in¬
tention, and insist on every pastor to
bring the subject prominently before
thc-ir congregations, to form them¬
selves into a society, have a given
day set apart for each society so
formed at each church, to send up
delegates to Carnesviile for the pur-
po c of organizing the county, elect
officers to preside over the county,
and each society organized at the
churches be an auxiliary to the parent
or county society, then the delegates
meet to make a constitution and by¬
laws to govern the whole of the
county.
I have said in a former article the
outlay would bo small. It may ap-
pear in the eyes of some to be so tri¬
fling as not to be worth the trouble.
Mother, I call upon you to lock to
the future of your daughters. Does
not every good mother have a wc-il-
in her warn: heart to leave a
rich legacy, more previous than ru¬
bios, in the education and character
of her daughter? How can the w
men of our county treat longer thi
subject cooly?
I have talked with variontsmon on
tins subject, and the one conclusion
arrived at: that the ladies of our
county are put upon trial for the
cause of their own sex, and these
same gentlemen agree that something
will bo done for the gentle sex, who
arc never lacking iu so good au en¬
terprise as this.
Husbands, don’t read this article
and lay the paper aside, never to
speak of it, but read it and talk it to
your wive and daughters and your
neighbors. J. II. Sliuh.

r tPP/NCO TT'S MAGAY.INK, with its varittt
J-v ami excellent contents, is a library in itself*
// was indeed a happy thought to print an
entire novel in each number.
Not a short novelette , but a long story such as
you are used to get in book form and pay from one
dollar to one dollar and a half for.
Not only that, but with each number you get an
abundance of other contributions , which gives you
a good magazine besides the novel.
It docs not follow in old beaten paths,—which is
an easy task,—but is perpetually discovering new
and pleasant ones, and following them too.
The ringing blows which have been struck oh the
gateway of popular favor, have resounded through¬
out the entire land, and to day Lippincott's Maga¬
zine stands in the front rank of monthly publications ,
and is the most voidely-read-astd-talked of publica¬
tion of its kind in the world. For full descriptive
circulars, address
