The Stephens Monumental Association.
From the Oartersville Free Press.
In another place in this paper will
be found the constitution of the Ste
pneus Monunieutal Association, of
which the editor of the Free Press has
bt*ju elected as oue of the vice-presi¬
dents for this congressional district.
The object of the association is a noble
one, and one in entiie accord with our
feelings and sentiment and doubtless
those of every true Georgian. As
Mount Vernon is cherished by every
true American as the home of George
Washington so should “Liberty Hall”
rest upon the cherished memory of ev¬
ery true Georgian. That home so long
loved by the “old commoner,” the
grand old statesman, the friend of
mankind, the dispenser of the noblest
chanties should be permitted to pass
into the hands of none but Georgians,
and forever remain as the Mecca cf
Georgia’s love for one of her greatest
and purest statesmen. vice-presi¬
We accept the office of
dent of the association for this con
gresaional district with diffidence and
a realization of tpe fact that we are
unworthy of so distinguished an honor,
it is enough for any man to be a con
tributor, to hand in his penny,or what
aver he is able to do, for such a tribute
to the memory of such a grand old
man whoso well and so faithfully
served his day and generation ; blessed a man
whose life and good deeds have
so many of his fellowmen ; whose
heart ever hung upon the outside in
sympathy for objects of chanty : we
^at no true Georgian should fail
t0 contribute his mite to perpetuate
the memory of such a grand man, such
» Iloble philanthropist, as the late Hou.
Alexander Hamilton Stephens.
In order to do all we can for such ap
object, we want every citizen of this
congressional district to send to Mes
gnJ j j Howard A Son, bankers of
iu 8UC b contribution as each
may feel 1IH C ed to give, ali of which
will be truly acknowledged. We want
the seventh congressional district to
show the hearts of our people in so no
ble a tribute to the memory of so no
ble a man. We ask the press of this
di8 trict to republish this appeal-not

—The rains coming just at harvest
time,make things livelv for the farmers.
Grass is springing up with a will, and
everything is rushing and hurrying
with a will.
—The people are harvesting their
grain crops. Wheat and oats are in¬
ferior, this year, and will be lameuta-.
bly scarce another year.
—The farmers have the blessing The for
which they so long sighed. 1 raiu
came at last, and such a rain All
nature held up her head proudly after
her copious dauglit of the life-giving
element. Com and cotton looks finely,
and will grow off nicely now. Grass
will annoy the planter now, more than
any other time this year, auji ••very
plow, and hoe will have to rush up, or
the crops are swamped. Some colored
farmers, are speaking of going out to
cut grain, and leaving their crops in
the hands of the women and children,
until their return with a few dollars
cash in their pockets, which they s\eem
to think of more importance than the
whole crop. Such is not the case how¬
ever. In this w ay ofteu they lose a
great deal, by damages done the crop,
and they are not the only ones who lose.
The white man who has rented them
the land furnished stock and provis¬
ions to make the crop often loses heav¬
ily by this suicidal policy of the black
farmer. But then this is only one of
the millions of such ills as Che white
farmer lias to suffer. The remedy lies
within our own hands and if we fail to
use it, we are not to be pitied.
—Mr. William Philbps . is seriously ,
ill from a murderous blow, upon his
head, delivered by an infuriated ne
gress whotn ljiui in |,j s empliy.

whbA she had concealed under her

greatly all the week. Instances like
these are of every day occurrence. It
is as plain as daylight, to wiiat end af¬
fairs are drifting unless we arouse our¬
selves from the apathy that has ruled
us so long, and take a firm decided
stand on this servant question Can
not any man of ordinary intelligence
see to what our country is drifting to '(
Ten years from to-day, and our conn
try will be swarming with a horde of
roguish,lying, unprincipled people,who
will prey upon us, drawing the last
drop of blood, from the veins of our
noble old county, and lifting never a
finger to promote her welfare or build
her up When the old ante helium
servants pass away, we are done, for
this young generation growing up Even on
our hands, are not worth killing.
now, right to-day, I’ve seen a fifteen
year old negro lad, walking hack and
forth up and down the public road, in
front of my door, drawing a little pine
bark wagon, playing and whistling,and
doing nothing, and here on each side
of the road, stand the broad .cotton
fields, inviting all who wane to work,
and yet he cooly “passes by the other
side.” He played the same game all
j ast W eek, until late ou Saturday even
jngi i, e weut ou t i and picked a few
blackberries, and his mother proudly

sot on the table, and out an’ gone

gone> W hen the real work is to be done.
We are ^axed to pay our wise men to
f rame our laws and instead of running
way off y on( j er) after something that is
0 f little practical use, in our everyday
life they had better turn their atten
tion to this hydraheaded evil, that and is
sure ly creeping into our homes,
