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 have arranged with its correspondents to oppose General Gordon, instead of doing it about home. The Constitu¬ tion has been very successful in car¬ rying out its wishes, but anything that tackles Gordon will have mountains to move. The crowd was small Tuesday for sale day. Enough however to do considerable juggling, politically speaking. W. F. McC-onnell took in Daniels- ville court Tuesday and Wednesday. At least lie took in the bone yard department. --- • Money to Loan. On improved farm land:-, in sums of *800 and upwards. Payable in small amount instalments. Terms easier and rates lower than heretofore offered in the county. Call and see me if you wish to borrow. W. R. Little, Attorney, 35 Carnesville, Ga. EASTANOLLEE. 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.

Neeso left for college on last Friday morning, where he will remain till Xmas. We will have the largest school at Royston next year in the county. Our country must be educated, if Royston has it to do. We are car¬ rying out tlie spirit of l)r. Candler’s famous sentence, when he said: “Turn the manhood of your boys not into money for yourself, but you. - money into manhood for your boys.” Someone is here every day wanting to rent or buy a house. R. M. Turner is wedding the yard stick and meat knife and pumping kerosene oil and turpentine - for D. A. Baker. Mr. Marcus Phinzy is now board¬ ing at the Dobbs House. Messrs. Vaughan and Camp, the musicians, are in our city. One of the “Mr. John Smith’s” is clerking for P. II. Bowers. Cotton is coining in rapidly, the first bale for the season was sold last Wednesday morning by S. VY. J. Brown to W. A. Royston <fc Son, at 104 cents per pound. The protracted service are now m progress at the Baptist church. The pastor, Rev. M. L. Carswell, is being assisted by Revs. Beck, Goss, King, and Scarborough. Pp to this writ¬ ing there have been seven or eight, ac¬ cessions to the church, and much in¬ terest is manifested. In company with U. P. Pearce, the livery man, we attended the Fluon meeting at Zidon last Sunday. There was a very large crowd present. The 11 o’clock sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Burgess. At a citizens meeting last week it decided to change the name of our town from Royston to Akron, and to draw in tlie incorporate limits from one and one half miles, as it now is to one half mile. Mr. John C. Higginbotham is building to his house. He tries to leave the impression that he is to take in a partner. We suppose he will succeed in the house’ but we dont know about tbe partnership business. See my buggies and get my prices before buying. J. P. Adair.

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.
