public—a notable fact.
Close readers of the Atlanta Con¬
stitution aver that it loves the sensa
tional. Yiewed through this lense is
not a sinister motive apparent in its
advocacy .of free whiskey?
Walt Whitman informs his friends
that he manages to live on $100 a
ycar. When a man is bent on wri
ting poetry or editing a country
newspaper it is useless to try to
starve him out.
It's an insult to the intelligence of
a people to say that the advocacy of
a cause by a public journal throws
them iti the opposition. Men are
contemptible whose actions are in
(luenced by no higher motive.
The JouRNAi is no hero worship¬
per and it doesn’t endorse the views
of Mr. Davis upon the temperance
question, but it proposes to give a
big rebel yell for Jeff Davis when
his foot again presses Georgia soil.
Atlanta promises that President
Cleveland shall find everything at
the Piedmont exposition in tip-top
order, even should he happen in on
the opening day. The work cn the
fair grounds has moved like magic
and it looks now as if the promise
would be kept.
Our friend John Triplett is very
anxious for a detachment of the sal
vation army to visit Thomasville. If
Captain Ella Bruckner should call on
Captain John she would easily make
a happy and valued convert of him.
He has ever found the charms of the
fair sex irresistable.
The Atlanta Constitution would
abolish the tax on whiskey, that the
high prices of cloth, shoes, hats and
other every day luxuries may be
maintained. The Constitution is
evidently of the opinion that the man
supplied with plenty of free whiskey
is the happiest possible citizen.
Your cotton seed as a fertilizer ’
according to the ruling prices now of
the elements ot plant food they con
tain, are worth fifteen cents a bushel.
You know when you use them that
you are using a genuine article and
it is not the part of wisdom to sell
them and buy guano unless you can
get a good price for them.
A poem recently published in the
Journal as an original composition
by one of our correspondents, which
narrowly escaped the waste basket as
not being up to our standard, turns
out to have been written by the poet
Longfellow. As we have had occa
sion before to remark, the poetic
standard of this journal is high, very
Mrs. Frank Leslie confesses that
at one time she was in love with a
certain foreign count who was paying
homage to her, va hereupon the editor
of the Savannah News says that if
she has any friends they should lock
her up. This is so like a man. One
never hears a woman admit that she
loves another fellow without being
overcome by a feeling of the most
intense disgust. •
We have just received a very pret
ty song called “There's no one like
Mother to me,” by Charles a Davies,
For a nice home song, in which both
the words and music are so very
pretty, it is hard to equal. It can
be played upon the piano or organ,
and will be sent to any address for
only 22 r-cent stamps. Address the
publishers, J. C. Cincinnati, Groene & Ohio. Co., 30
and 42 Arcade,
Hon. Jefferson Dams, President of
the Confederate states, will be an
interesting figure at the Confederate
re union during the State Fair, He
had many harsh critics among his
own people, but in the war for our
southern rights there were many
brilliant achievements and history
will accord to him much credit in
them. He has borne his reverses of
fortune in a manner that has made
all true southern hearts proud of their
persecuted chief, and jve hope that
Georgians all will heartily unite in
doing him honor upon the occasion
of his visit to Macon.
One of our esteemed correspond¬
ents suggests that the Journal can
no longer be termed an “Almanac”
by the contemptuously inclined. Let
us hope it will always deserve a name
as honorable. Your almanac may be
frequently burdened with gratuitous
advice on gardening, delusive patent
medicine certificates, false weather
predictions and a modicum of stale
jokes, but these are barnacles only,
journeying upon the merits of the
good ship to which they are attached.
The almanac is an indispensable ad¬
junct of every well regulated family
and our ambition is to make the
Journal as useful and indispensable,

A NOTE OF WARNING.
Reports from ihe money marts of
this country are to the effect that this
lubricant of commerce is scarce and
the rates for its use high. When we
consider the vast amounts piled up
i n the national treasury and the great
sums being added to it daily by a
tariff that protects only the manufac
tunug interests, the reason for this
stringency is apparant. Then in ad
dition to this our people have entered
upon an era of extravagance such as
preceded the financial crash of 1873,
from which the country was many
years recovering. The exports to
foreign countries are large, but our
imports j exceed them by many mill¬
ions. And in addition to all this we
are b orrovv j n g millions upon millions
frQm Europe to build railroads and
to develop protected industries that
protectionists tell us can live only while
the government upholds them. Should
these investments pay the profits will
° inU) forei „ lands an(1 lhey wiu
dram the country ol its wealth . and ,
leave us poorer than ever. “The
borrower is a servant to the lender”
says the inspired w,se man and there
15 har(jer taskmaster than the
foreignei who has no interest in our
lan;1 a ” J no sympathy for its institu
lions.
It is bad enough for us should this
money be invested so as to pay the
annual interest charges, but it will be
infinitely worse should the invest
ments be put into property that fails
to do this, A failure not onlv hurts
the party who fails but hurts all his
neighbors and every kindred interest.
Speculation is rife and it is the part
of muclence to be sure footed now.

Let e * eiv u.;n resolve to take <;s lew
, chances as possible. Pile readers of
the Journal are largely ot the farm
ing class. They can avert the
pending evil by raising at home every
article of home economy that is pos_
sible. In ordinary times the tanner
