EDITORIAL NOTES.
The message of Governor Gordon
to the legislature is a clear and able
state paper. His suggestions are all
worthy of careful consideration and
many of them are in the line of
needed reform.
Young women in some of the
towns of the wild west, “controlled
by interest and not by sentiment,”
sell their kisses at church fairs and
like affairs to the highest bidders.Our
young women of the south have not
come to this, and we believe the gal¬
lant Macon Telegraph and the Butler
Herald will join us in the hope that
they never may.
Senator Brown has written a letter
to Governor Gordon suggesting that
a committee be appointed by the
legislature to confer with the lessees
of the Western & Atlaetic railroad,
that an agreement may be reached
concerning the betterments placed
upon the road since it was leased.
The letter a’so shows very clearly
why the road ought to be sold, al¬
though the writer does not recom¬
mend the sale in plain terms. The
letter is one of much interest to the
people of the state and bears the im¬
press of a master mind.
The Macon Telegraph endorses a
protective tariff item from the Butler
Herald which opens with the asser¬
tion that “the people of our day are
controlled by interest, not by senti¬
ment.” The assertion is not true as
to the people of the south. No peo¬
ple in the world, as a whole, have
ever been controlled more by the
higher principles that actuate man
kind—sentiment if you will—and
influenced less by selfish motives, and
no people excel them to day. There
may be a new south, but it is to be
hoped that it is not new because her
people have lost their integrity.
DISTRICT CONFERENCE.
We left here Wednesday morning
last for the district conference. A
few delegates joined us at Columbus
and more at Bostick. We arrived at
Butler at 3 o’clock p. m., and were
met at the depot by a goodly number
ot the citizens and assigned homes.
Rain prevented us from going to
church that night. Thursday morn
mg conference convened at the
Methodist church, a very pretty
building near the centre of the town,
and was called to order by Presiding
Elder Hayes; Rev. W. E. Mumford
was elected Secretary, with Mr. Har
ris assistant. Preaching at 10:30
o’clock by Rev. H. R. Felder ofTal
botton station. The sermon was
very fine and put the conference in
good working order. Roll call con
tinued in the afternoon; preaching at
night to a very large and attentive
congregation. Friday morning and
evening consumed in call of charges
and appointing Methodist committees; and Baptist services church

es at night; attendance and behaviour
fine. Saturday morning consumed

conference in behalf of Andrew Fe¬
male College at Cuthbert, and Mr.
---in the interest of Wesleyan at
Macon. A few minutes were given
to Profs. Woodall of Talbotton, and
Dozier of Hamilton, to set forth the
claims of their colleges which they
did rapidly. Preaching at night and
Sunday morning. Sabbath school
exercises in the afternoon. A spirit
of deep piety pervaded the confer
ence, and all felt that it was good to
be there.
The next district conference will
be held with Broad Street church at
Columbus.
Happy Jack, formerly of Salvation
Army, was on hand a part of the
time and interspersed songs during
services which some seemed to enjoy.
We want to say that Butler is a
pretty little dry town with much more
intelligence and refinement than we
had supposed. H.
Crops looking fine.
MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT.
Mrs. B. C. Kimbrough’s music
class gave a most enjoyable enter¬
tainment Friday evening to a large
audience of appreciative listeners.
Every member of the class gave evi¬
dence of careful training, and where
each did so well it would be unjust
to the others to mention any one in
particular. It was thought by some,
however, -1- hat the gem CO of the even¬
ing were T Waves of Ocean,” a
piano duett, and “The Coming Step
M arch,” a piano trio. The following

FARMING.
Mr. Editor: —Please publish this
stray gem, containing as it does, both
wisdom and truth. Farmer.
Of all pursuits by men invented,
The farmer is the last ooniei»te<fj
His vaHmefs good, his profits uigh,
And ou his labor all rely.
Me. hanics all I v him arc fed,
Of him the merchants seek their bread,
llis hands give meat to everyt ung.
Up lrom the beggar to the king,
ThermUk on 1 hoi ey. corn and wheat.
At© by his labors made complete,
Our clothes must first from, him arise,
To deck the L p and chess the wise.
We them by vote, may justly state
The ploughman ranks among tin great,
More independent than they all
That dwell upon this earthly ball.
All hail! ye farmers, young and old.
Push on 3 our plough with cour go bold,
Your wealth arises from your clod,
Your 1 ml ej. end ence from your Clod.
If, then,the olougli supports the nation,
And men of every rank and station,
Let kings to farmers make a :»ow,
And every man procure a plough.

About thice months ago, noticing a letter
addressed to you in the Bee from Geu .Sle

the use of Hall’s Catarrh cure, we were
induced to commence 11 e use of it for our
daughter Nel'ie now 14 years old, who has
been suffering with cutrrrh for about eight
years, during which time si c lias been
treated by one ot the best physicians in the
city. We have also tried the use of almost

Her hearing also had become affected. We
were afraid that she would never reco er
We have now used 0 bcttFs of Hall’s Ca¬
tarrh cure, and we believe Nellie to he en¬
tirely cured. In a few days a Ter comme 11 —
cing the use of it we noticed a decided
change for the better, and from that rght
along she has improved, until now she
breathes as easily as any one. She sbeps
well and her hearing is perfectly good.
We suite this nnsolictcd letter,feeling that
it is due you,and with the hope that others
may be benefited in like manner. We could
hardly realize that such a change could be
effected in so short a time utter battling
with the disease so long. We still ust; the

A WHOLESALE GROCERYMAN.
Mr. T. D. Meador of the firm of
Oglesby & Meador, thinks it is just
as important to fortify against the
sudden attacks of the bowels as
against the robber that invades the
household. He says Dr. Biggers’
Huckleberry Cordial is the weapon,
a dead shot to bowel troubles.

ONE DOLLAR A YEAR,
STRICTLY IN ADVANCE.
In Brief and to the Point.
Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe
to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and
wonderful things in existence. It is
easily put out of order.
Greasy food,tough food,sloppy food
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits, and many other
things which ought not to be, have
made the American people a nation
of dispepsia.
But Green's August Flower has done
a wonderful work in leforming this
sad business and making the Ameri¬
can people so healthy that they can
enjoy their meals and be happy.
Re-member:-No happiness without
health. But Green’s August Flower
brings health and happiness to the
dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for a
bottle. Seventy-five cents.
