FRIDAY, AUGUST 9. 1880. Tom Wool folk had too much sence to fast himself to death. He is still in jail and is apt to stey there until he is released. It seems that this section will give the reunions the go-by this year. Wiiy dou’t our old soldiers raise a hurrah in that direction. Tub majotitjr of the people do not want to par tax to send richer chidren to school while their own can’t have the advantage of a common school, Don’t hold your property at a high price until you run off the purchasers. If you sell every other lot, the ono.you retain will soon sell for as much as two lots aro really worth now. KilkaiH and Sullivan have been captured and the latter is going to edit a newspaper. That's right—if a man gets whipped let the other fellow start into the newspaper business. \V ic need men who appreciate tho fact that the more cordial they are tlie cheaper the goods are, the more in ducinents they offer iu the price of lands the faster their town will grow. In some sections of tho state Alli¬ ances aro getting up funerals of jute bagging. YVo don’t mind seeing jute buried but It is not right to make so solemn an affair as a burial of loved ones. Chief of Police Austin of Conyers, lms found a pair of cuffs that lie thinks will lead to the conviction of Riviere for murder ol the man who was found dead at Stone Mountain last March. Tiik Augusta News lias our thanks for pledging its vote for us when we get ready to run for an office, hut we fear it will never have the opportunity of doing so hh long as tho present of¬ ficers hold lesleed to their places, :'AyffltiE '^P . *!!flllon board of directors Friday of the night expert ^•«rTm*?Yys’MCH>ciM4 met J7 L ia>t. -it, ,Ii.ig,*W Atlr.rta, director of the at» (ion, and Mr. Gustave Speth, of Richmond county, horticulturalist. Aim you a newspaper borrower? If you are, your poor little miserly heart could not be discovered in tlie shell of a mustard seed with the Lick telescope.” The above is from one of our exchanges but it la so cute wo must give 1* away. It is so true. Col. Douglas Wlkle, of Cartersville and a former bi other of tho new spa per fraternity, after quitting the news¬ paper business, has won and married Mi»s Bertie Tempo one day hist week a fair young lady from Nashville, Teen. Mr. YY. and hm lady will re ceive from tlie boys of tho press a most hearty congratulation with their best wishes. 9 The sentiment is growing stronger all ovar the country to soli the State road, and this sentiment is getting right now Sell the road and nav off the State debt and then the inter cat paid on the debt can tie used for the school fund. It looks'ike foolish tiess to bold up the road and rent it for just about enough to pay the in t/rest on the State’s indebt ness. It is wrong for our great State to be dab ling nun In railroads, IMUUMH, and besides it »» takes up a large portion of the legislature’s time. That is not counted, though. give THANKS. Tlie outlook now is so grand for a general good yield of all kinds of crops this year. Already we have had ty fair yields from some of the crops and the growing one seems to be ss good as the lands can bring, O, what good Ix>rd prospers our people the less they are inclined to humble them selves before tlie gi\-er of all good and return thanks. The authorities of the state should appoiul a day of thanksgiving and prayer and every soul in the state should repair to the house of worship and thank the Almighty for the g!o riou* gift of Iiis love as shown by the wonderful crop of breadstuffs as is now about made in every part of our great land. YY e can‘t say ”we” made so and-so when we know the .ireat Creators band did it all for us. It is iieUmig but proper that we should give thanks for these blessings. The Dem¬ ocrat joins iu giving thanks from the Wtlorn of our heart*. THE DEMOCRAT OUAWFORDVILLE, GEORGIA. THAT OFFICE AGAIN. Brother Shackelford, of the Ogle thorite Echo, after showing why he is in favor of holding mortages on public offices says of us: “Maybe Bro. Moore wants some office upon which he imagines someone else has administered. If that is the sta tua of affairs we are willing to go agaist our inclinations this once and set the incumbent adrift to make room for Bro. Moore, but when Bro. Moore gets in we will return to our convic¬ tions and advocate his retain meat as long as he makes a good officer. Doubtless Bro- Moore will be with us then.” We agree with liro. Shack and are in favor of “long term officers,” hut the people, in convention assembled have said that certain officers should hold office for a certain length o f time. That in our opinion was done for the purpose of giving every man a chance for each office, and not to retain a tnan simply because be fills the office satis¬ factorily. because the people believe that lie will do that, when they elect him. But until the present tenure of office is changed, we think that every officer in the state, should at the end of his constitutional term, step down and out and let some one else take h is place. As for ourselves, we have no aspira¬ tions for office, nor have any particular friend who has taken a homestead on an office arid as we said before we have ho war to make on any office holder, but think that under our p-tysent con¬ stitution each officer should voluntari¬ ly renounce the honors at the ond of his terra. LET IT BE BUILTJ Tho next tiling on docket for ( raw fonlville is a cotton seed oil mill and a guano factory combined. It can be built and must be built. Wo liaye the advantage of every town in this section of Georgia for such an establishment. For tlie past two or throe weeks we have heard it mentioned by various parties In and alxiut town that we needed such a factory here. It is be¬ coming the talk of tho town and we lielieve it is more practicable than many now think. YVliy— we have a plat offered us here in the edge of town upon which there are almost building enough to operate the ma chinery in and it can bo bought at a very small cost including about seven acres of land. This ground would furnish ample room for houses for hands, side-tracks, ware houses and everything that woAd bo needed. win. tb, j there is nothing to do but get up stock company with a capita! of a few thousand dollars and the eutesprise could ue started at once. To get up the Stock it will be neces¬ sary to place tho shares at about §20,00 eacli and there is not a farmer in this county who could afford to do without a share or two. last the guano bo furnished the stockholders at redcuced rates and on eyury two tons tho share owner would clear enough each year to replace the amount of a share. This is logic that can’t lie gotten around, when it is known that the cost of getting up this fertilizer is not more than §18,00 or §15,00 per ton and you pay cash $20,00 or $.80,00 and on time $35,00 and $40,00. These are figures and are worthy the considera¬ tion of every man in the county who uses commercial fertilizers. Tlie Alliance of tlie county could not- do a| better thing than to take hol.l of this matter and establish this enterprise. YVe wish they would all think of the matter. The stock will an J ttien"hll this money i8 sent out of your county for will be left here and this cry of hard times will be lifted. Let ’s make our home town a manufacturing centre. The merchants will aid. They must take stock iu this enterprise from the fact that it will create mere demand j for provisions, collm.g etc. tor the j operators. New bouses will be built hull* and it will help Olir contractors, Tbe merchant will certainly control the cash that is paid <o the hands, and all around it will greatly benefit every citizens in the county immediately ! contigeous to Crawfordville.
