District the County and Build Up
the Schools.
We have heard but little express-
hion from the people in regard to the
meeting that has been called for next
Tuesday to consider the advisability
of laying the county off into school
districts, providing every district with
one or more good school houses. We
believe that the movement is a wise
one and will do much for the educa¬
tion of the county if taken hold of as
the law already directs. Franklin
county’s general prosperity demands
a much better system of education
than she now has, and there should
bo no time lost in bringing it about.
Let all that possibly can come out to
Carnesville next Tuesday, which i-
sale day, and take a part in this mat¬
ter. Everybody is interested, and
they should not hesitate to give their
views on so important a matter.

Tnnr.E is a strong and general
fight commencing throughout the
state for the improvement of com¬
mon schools.
Rkv. A. G. Demtsky, the Alliance
candidate for the legislature in Cobb
county, dropped dead while making
a political speech last week.
If money is to be issued on the
products of labor it will have to cover
them all. No bill can ever become
a law that only covers live products.
ITox. James G. Blaine lias been
invited to the Piedmont Exposition,
and will probably attend. He will
draw a larger crowd to Atlanta than
any republican in the Union.
Feom the present outlook there iy
much doubt about the nominee of the
democracy in tlie Ninth pulling
through. Every one concedes him a
good majority below the river, but
when the mountain comities are
reached they cannot be relied on.
Athens is having trouble over the
whisky business. Mayor Brown
fined four of her druggist #200.00
each for violation of the prohibition
laws. Now the druggists say tliey
will carry the matter to the highest
courts for a reverse in the decisions.
Bill Art’s letter in Sunday’s Con¬
stitution of the 21st of September is
worth more to the farmers of the
state than all the speeches that has
been made by Gordon, Norwood and
Livingston put together. The coun¬
try philosopher knows what lie is
talking about and states facts, while
the others don’t know, or if they do
they are not honest enough to toil it.
We commend the letter to our read¬
ers.
If Col. Pat Calhoun should stop
from an office in the West Point
Terminal company into the United
States senate, tlie people would come
to the conclusion that the Alliance
had changed its base. It is hardly
reasonable to expect such a thing,
notwithstanding much evidence to
the contrary. We believe Mr. Cal¬
houn a good man for tbe position and
would not fret if lie should be
elected.

Trip to Biuhville, Banks County.
Wc arrived at Bushviilc at eleven
o’clock Saturday morning, Septem¬
ber 27, the foremost section of the
county, and the place at which the
county singing convention was bold.
We, for a few minutes, listened
with much pleasure to tlie good mu¬
sic. of the large number of singers,
who had met there to mingle their
melodious strains.
At noon everybody was delighted
with much ami nice dinner spread
before them by the good people of
Bnahville.
In a short time wc were informed
that the progressive Literary Club of
that place would meet that night,
and that they had invited the South¬
ern educator, Prof. Morgan II.
Looney, of Carnesville, to address
them at that meeting.
In the afternoon we listened to such
professors of music as Moore,
Walkc: county, and others.
When the singing of the day was
over the Dushvillians all returned to
their homes, expecting to return to
tlie Literary Club that night to
the noted lecturer, Morgan Looney.
At 7:30 p. in. the club preececded
with the exercises for the night.
After several splendid recitations
and speeches by tlie young ladies and
boys, the Club called on Col.
Brown, of Homer, who with much
gracefulness of manner and choice of
language complimented the club very
highly for continuing their grand
work for four years without missing
a single meeting, and for the splendid
library they had collected.
Then the president of the Club
said: “We will now be addressed by
Prof. Looney, who needs no introduc¬
tion in Georgia.”
It was then the noted educator and
orator rose, and with his master
pieces of wit and eloquence held that
large and intelligent audience for one
hour in a oontiuous cheer auil laugh¬
ter.
The Club then adjourned.
Prof. Looney was elected by the
convention on Saturday to address
the convention on Sunday at eleven
o’clock, <ni tlie subject of music.
The morning was dark and damp,
but a large crowd turned out, and
after a long singing lesson our South¬
ern literary man rose, and with a
very appropriate remarks stated
subject, which was: “God
the past.” Though the rain was
ing in torrents, and the house
crammed as long as one could get
at the door, he, with his fine
and grand oratory, held them

On Saturday last, aecompanied by

wended our wav to Ranks county.
The Musical Convention was HP ls-ing
at Husl'\iilc, and it was that we
might attend that convention and

of that excellent neighborhood that
ve went. We arrived in the fore-
noon, and singing was going on in the
academy. Among the leaders wo
recognized our friends J. 1>. Vaughn
and .1. T. Camp. At recess these
two true friends took pleasure in in¬
troducing us to other leaders, both
local and foreign, among the musi-
sieians. As for the music from first
to last, it is enough to say it was cx-
eellcnt. We could almost fancy that
Faun and Dryad were pausing to
II-ton among the giant oaks that snr-
rounded the spot. To one of a clas-
sical turn it would seem as if Musieus
iiim elf bad w aked from bis long sleep
,,f three tboui-aiul years in the olive
groves of Athens, and that Orpheus
Linus had been called back from
tlie fabled fields of Asphodel.
During the recesses our friend
Uavne introduced us to the citizens
of the locality'. We found them en¬
ergetic, intelligent, and well to do.
In, fact, ne where in rural districts
has it ever been our lot to meet a
more interesting people, and this ap¬
plies to all,—the old, the middle-
rigid, and the young. They have a
fine Literary Club there which has
met regularly without fail for four
years. I was invited in tlie afternoon
of Saturday to meet with that club
that night and make them a speech.
I went to simper with Mr. J. P. Wil-
son. I found him and his excellent
family nil that the most fastidious
could desire in the way of hospitality,
geniality, and refinement. After
supper Mr. Wilson took me in his
buggy to the club. The exercises
were refined and elevating, and of a
purely literary character. No time
was allowed for talking soft nonsense
and “eating soup with a knitting-
needle.” After the regular exercises
Col. Oscar Brown of Homer was
called, and lie responded most grace¬
fully in a short speech that was re-
finded in thought, chaste in emotion,
and elegance in utterance. In atti¬
tude and manner Col. Brown is dig¬
nified and commanding, while urbane
and cordial, and we iong to know
him more intimately. Next our
friend, Prof. A. P. N. Underwood of
Franklin was called for, and respond¬
ed in a very humorous and witty ad¬
dress. It was brim full and running
over with fun, and we were convulsed
wit’’ laughter,—in fact the entire
audience laughed all Prof. over Under¬ itseif.
At tlie conclusion of
wood’s speech I was called, and did
the very best I could. 1 felt the joy¬
ous hilarity of tlie occasion, and hope
I did not dampen it.
Sunday morning the dawn rose
drear ond rainy. But nevertheless
quite a crowd assembled to hear the
continuance of the singing. And the
singing continued. Though long be¬
fore noon the rain was falling in tor¬
rents, and the audience was packed
in the house so closely that individ¬
uals could scarcely heart-lifting move, yet the
singing was and soul-
thrilling. At 11:15 I was again called
for, and responded could in as good a speech under
on music as 1 scare up
the circumstances. After an excel¬
lent basket dinner packed in amid
jiacked surroundings, tlie business of
the convention was rapidly dispatched SlcDon-
by its able president, dismissed llenry
nel, and we were to our
several homes and stopping places.
The rain was flooding the earth with
a perfect cataclysm when we left the
house, lienee it was utterly out of
the question for those from a distance
to third: of reaching home on Sunday
evening. So they stopped for the
night at various good houses in the
neighborhood. Prof. Pavnc and my¬
self went to Mrs. Owen’s, where in
the company of herself, her son Cal¬
vin, and her two amiable grand¬
daughters, Misses Alice and Nannie,
wc spent a most delightful time. It
rained all night Sunday Monday, niglit.
Next morning, for wo con¬
cluded to strike the mud Carnes¬
ville, which we proceeded to do. We
came to a little creek which looked
like a river, but we went through it.
About eleven o’clock we came to
Nail’s Creek which we found impass¬
able. We went Lack to Mr. Wm.
Holbrook’s where wo were invited to
dinner, and where the dinner was lit
for a prince. Wo remained with this
excellent family till late in the after¬
noon, and then impassable. going to the Dr. creek we
found it still Thus.
Holbrook invited us to his house.
We accepted the invitation, and
stayed with him and his amiable
family Monday be night. fortunate Any gentle¬
man, who may * so as to
enjoy the hospitality of Dr. Hol¬
brook, will find that his lot has for
the while fallen in pleasant places.
and Tuesday morning we with difficulty
some risk crossed Nail’s Creek.
Later in the forenoon we with more
difficulty and greater risk crossed
Midtile River. Arriving at our home
creeek oiwthe border of Carnesville
we found it so run down that wo
easily crossed it. We were glad to
get Louie and find “ail '.veil.”

A Letter from an Eminent Divine in Re¬
gard to the Best Medicine in the
World. Read.
WONDERFUL CURES.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 2, ’DO.
Six months ago, at the request of
a fr iend who was interested in the
sale of King’s Royal Germetuer, I
made a written statement of the ben¬
efits I had received from the use of
that medicine. In that statement I
expressed the belief that it would
cure me entirely of Catarrh. Within
the 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, lt
has been impossible for me to write
privately to each person who has
made this request, and I am there¬
fore under the necessity of making
another statement.
I am free from Catarrh. Ibeleive
that 1 could get a certificate to this
effect from any competent physi¬
cian. I have used no medicine with¬
in the last six months except King’s
Royal Germetuer. 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 1 have experienced from
the use of the medicine is not more
certain and radical than that which
it has brought to hundreds of pier-
sons in Georgia and other States.
1 feel it to be my duly to say, al¬
so, that the effects of this remedy
upon my wife have been even more
signal and wonderful. She has 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. Fhe lias been using Ger¬
metuer about two months. A more
complete transformation I have nev¬
er witnessed. Every symptom of
disease has disappeared. 8he ap¬
pears to be twenty years younger,
and is as happy and playful as a
healthy child. Wc have persuaded
many of our friends to take the med¬
icine, and the testimony of all of
them is that it is a great remedy.
J. R. IIawthoknk,
Pastor First Baptist Church.
Royal Germetuer builds up from
the first dose, tlie 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
ami debilitated females it is without
a rival or peer.
If you arc suffering with disuse
and fail of a cure, send stamp for
printed matter, cirtificntes, etc.
