EDITORIAL NOTES.
The Chattahoochee Valley Expo¬
sition offers $1,000 for the best coun¬
ty exhibit this fall. The premium is
ours if we will have it. It is worth
an effort and if we know the people
of Harris they will make it.
Looking at the miserable carica
ture that defaces the first column of
the Atlanta Constitution of Thursday,
President Cleveland may well ex¬
claim, in the words of another noble
Roman, “This is the last, unkindest
cut of all.”
Col. W. S. Wallace, chairman of
the democratic committee of the
fourth congressional district, has
called a meeting of the committee
at Columbus next Thursday, at the
court house, to name a time and
place for holding a convention to
r
nominate a candidate for congress.

THE FARMER’S ALLIANCE.
Mr. R. L. Burkes, of Chipley, the
Secretary of the Georgia Farmer’s
Alliance, was in town last Friday and
gave the Journal a pleasant call.
He is an enthusiastic worker, and as
his position places him in a position
to know of the astonishing growth of
the order in all sections of the state,
he is very hopeful of a great future
for it. There are thirty organizers at
work within the bounds of' tire alii
ance and every mail brings him ad¬
vices of new organizations. There
are now 565 sub-alliances in the state
a»d the last mail he had before he
came Friday morning brought him
notices of the organization ot seven
teen more. He thinks that by the
time the state organization is a year
old it will have at least 1500 sub-alli
ances.

Capt. John F. Jenkins, one. of the
cleverest candidates in the county,
brought us this week a fresh country
ham, fat and juicy, made from a hog
fattened on honest Hams county
corn. It displaced on our breakfast
bill of fare some snspected western
bacon, and as it.> appetizing odor
rises upon the morning air and our
less favored neighbors sniff it from
afar, the editor’s family rejoice in its
toothsome qualities and wish the leg

Captain Jenkins.
