A Compromise Effected.
The McKntire it Nelms mill dam
will be torn down, the land-owners
above the dam having bought the
right to remove it, and all parties in¬
terested signed tlie contract. It
looked once like the matter would
almost certainly go into the courts,
and many are glad that an agreement
has been reached without any liti¬
gation.
The Carnesville Railroad.
The Carnesville railroad lias bad a
several weeks’ rest, and there are
some barriers in the way yet before
the people will know for a certainty
what the road will cost and when it
will be built. One thing is absolutely
known, and that is the people can get
the road by doing their duty.
The Atlanta Constitution seems to

Cotton is opening, fodder is being
pulled, turnip seed sowed, and a
thousand and one other things being
done, and our people are not content
yet. AVe want a saw mill. Spead
Stoncoypher has promised to come
for the last twelve months, and Bill
Taylor promises to come if he can.
How easy it is to promise, and we
are all apt to promise more than we
do. Not more than we ought to do,
for wo are all a far-seeing people and
can see a great deal that ought to he
done. A young man will promise a
young lady to do everything if she
will only marry him. She marries
him and afterwards find her life made
pp of disappointments by trusting to
promises. A young lady will prom¬
ise to be a loving and faithful wife to
a young man, and after marriage he
thinks of a great many more that
would have suited him better. AVhen
it is too late all find it is better to do
than to promise. It is even so with
nearly everybody in everything they
have a hankering for. A A’ hen a man
wants office he promises everything
to his constituents if they will only
elect him. AVe hear of something
under a dozen tnen running for tax
receiver. One of these promises if
elected he will put the money to a
better use than it lias ever been. A
man runs for sheriff and is
with a host of men wanting him to
appoint them either as jailor or bailiff
in the courts, lie promises them all
to get their votes, and after he is
elected somebody is left out, and they
get mad and declare they will never
vote for him again. Now the man is
not to blame. lie wanted the office,
and as he had to promise to get the
votes, who can find fault with him?
lie would gladly give a position to
every man if he could, but there are
not offices enough for everybody to
get in. AVe knew a man once who
wanted to go to the Georgia Legis¬
lature, and lie was willing to risk his
chances on a promise to the
It was a time of much rain, dog days
ha l set in, crops were being daiu-
aged, and the people all said it rained
more during those days than any
otherf, The would-be representative
grasped the opportunity. He told
the peopie if they would elect him lie
would have the dog days changed.
But the people were up to the occa¬
sion, and knew he could not do it,
and did not elect him. But times
have changed somewhat. If a man
wants to be elected be does not prom¬
ise so much, but will deride his oppo¬
nent, gels somebody to start an ugly
report on him, sends out Bis carriers
over the county to tell it, hoping
thereby to gain his election. But
our people are being educated, and
it is not so easy to lead them by
promises or misrepresentation, but
they avo actuated by principle, and
the principle like that of the refiners
of silver—it is kept in the molten till
the likeness of the engraver can be
seen. ’The people demand justice,
and justice is responding to the de¬
mand witli an eelio that reaches to
the very ends of the earth. Honesty
of purpose is one of the leading prin¬
ciples sot forth by the founders of
our government, and truth is the great
epitome on which it rests.
Gov. Gordon is a good man and
has served the people of his day well,
in his last declining days, like
many others, made a mistake in his
before the great Alliance con¬
vention in Atlanta. We do not call
question his convictions as regards
the movement ox the farmers’ organ¬
ization, but lie side-tracked. He
wants to go down to the grave re¬
spected by all, both farmer and poli¬
tician, but it behooves us to cling t**
the divine admonition—“Quit vour-
selves like men.” Tom.

WONDERFUL CURES.
Atlanta, Ga., .Tan. 2, ’90.
Six months ago, at the request of
a friend who was interested in the
sale of King’s Royal Genneluer, 1
made a written statement, of the ben¬
efits I hail received from the use of
that medicine. In that statement I
expressed the belief that it would
cure me entirely of Catarrh. Within
tlie last two months I have received
letters from every quarter of the na¬
tion calling on me for further infor¬
mation in regard to my health.
has been impossible for me to write
privately to each person who ha-
made this request, and I am there¬
fore under the necessity of making
another statement.
I am free from Catarrh. Iboloivc*
that I could get a certificate, to this
effect from any competent physi¬
cian. I have Used no medicine witli-
in the last six months except King’s
Royal Germotuer. My health is bet-
ter than it has been in thirty years,
I am in posession of information
which warrants me in saying that the
relief which I have experienced from
the use of the medicine is not more
certain and radical than that which
it has brought to hundreds of per¬
sons in Georgia and other States.
I feel it to be my duty to say, al¬
so, that the effects of this remedy
upon my wife have been even more
signal and wonderful. She lias been
almost a life-long invalid from Ner¬
vous Headache, Neuralgia and rheu¬
matism. In a period of thirty years
she has scarcely had a day’s exemption
from pain. She has been using Ger-
metuer about two months. A more
complete transformation 1 have nev¬
er witnessed. Every symptom of
disease has disappeared. She ap-
pears 1 to he twenty years younger, °
• " -
and js as happy and playful as a
healthy child. Wo have persuaded
many of our friends to take the mod-
icinc, and the testimony of all of
them is that it is a great remedy.
J. II. IIawthorne,
Pastor First Baptist Church.
Royal Gcrmctuer builds up from
the first dose, the patient quickly
feeling its invigorating and health-
giving influence. It increases the
appetite, aids digestion, clears the
complexion, regulates the liver, kid¬
neys, etc,, and speedily brings bloom
to the cheek, strength to the body
and joy to the heart. For weak
and debilitated females it is without
a rival or peer.
If you are suffering with disuse
and fail of a cure, send stamp for
printed matter, certificates, etc.

Not a short novelette, but a long story such at

Not only that, but with each number you get an
