CURRENT EVENTS.
Congress is still considering the
tariff bill. Thus far no material
change has been made in the bill as
reported by the ways and means com
mittee.
. The nomination of Cleveland and
Thurman b/ the National Democrat¬
ic convention has created much en¬
thusiasm and meets approbation of
all the democrats.

* The cotton receipts of the crop
of 1887 up to June 1st, 5,964.548
bales. To the same date last year
5,160,973; excess of.receipts 803,575
bales. Look for low price of cotton
next fall.
The acreage in Cotton & *5 * per
cent above last year. The crop re¬
ports show a full average in all
the cotton states except Frorida.
Look ahead for breakers—a big crop.
The Southern Alliance news-paper
succeded splendidly in their trade is¬
sue. A good paper any how. Can
an order be “not a political party
but a party in politics?” Whoever
attempts to run that schedule will be
switched off the track and “don't
you forget it.”
The pr position to have a county
fair foi Harris county meets with gen¬
eral approbation. Harris county must
be represented at the grand Chatta¬
hoochee Valley Exposition to be held
in Columbus in October and* she
must win.
The Mikado of Japan has prohib¬
ited base-ball in his kingdom. A
heathen nation sets a good example
and it ought to be followed.
It is surely true that the country
press of Georgia brought the Consti¬
tution and Chronicle from the error
of their way and made them good
democrats and fnrther discussion is
unnecessary.
A herculean effort is being made

One curious in suJi matters says

nouncement of several gentlemen
who are in the race for legislative
honors. We rejoice that the list is
comprised of gentlemen so worthy of
pubic esteem and so well qualified
for the positions to which they as¬
pire.
Capt. L. L. Stanford is in the race
for the Senate. He has served the
county in the house and while there
made a representative who did credit
to.the county. He was active and
energetic and succeeded in having our
college made a branch of the slate
university—doing by h s skill, ener¬
gy and perseverance a piece of work
where in similar cases scores of fail¬
ures have been recorded. His sup¬
port is strong for the senate and the
vote he will receive will be a compli¬
ment to be appreciated.
Mr. B. H. Williams, one of our
present representatives, is a candidate
for the Senate. He has done good
service in the house. Two measures
that but for his active support would
have been defeated, will long be re¬
membered to his credit. His record
in the general assembly is endorsed
by the best element of the county
and has made him strong fiiends in
his present canvass.
Judge W. C. Wisdom, who is a
candidate for the house, is one of the
best and purest men in Harris coun
ty. He is a successful farmer and a
credit to his profession. Six yeirs

ago he represented the county in the
legislature and his record there was a
credit to his constituents. There is
not a safer man in the county and he
has a host of friends who are making
an active canvass for him.
Capt. John F. Jenkins is well
known as a public spirited, high toned
gentleman. His example as a farm¬
er is worthy imitation and in all pub¬
lic trusts he has shown himself no
less worthy. He is a gentleman who
works upon the square in all his deal¬
ings and his popularity is but an evi¬
dence of public appreciation of true
worth. Two years ago he made his
maiden race and it was a good one.
His fiiends confidently predict a bet¬
ter one this time.
Mr. R. B. Mobley is a young man,
\ ib popular wiih all classes. He
has a large farming interest and we
doubt if the state can match him in
point of success as a farmer with a
man of his age. He manages his
large interest with skill and ability that
assure competence should he be cal¬
led to legislate for us. He would take
a high stand in the house and will re¬
ceive a creditable vote, if he does not
lead all his competitors.
Hardeman Notes.
Mr. W. A. Stevens, of Cleburii,
Ala., spent the night with your cor
respondent a few nights ago. He
was in seaich of Summer Little, the
slayer cf Pickens Pendergrass, of Cal¬
houn, Ala.
Mr. B. N. Blanton had a cotton
bloom on the 9th, instant. Who of
your correspondents can name one
earlier for the backward spring ?
The election of officers of Chatta¬
hoochee Alliance, No. 154, will take
place on the fourth Saturday of this
month, but owing to the big barbe¬
cue at Hamilton on that day of the
Masonic fraternity it will be deferred
until the 5th Saturday in June.
Mr. John A. Cochran, our polite
P. M. at Hardeman, has an early
patch of corn of the white dent vari-1
utv that will be ready for the table in
a few days. Friend Cochran, don’t
forget ye correspondent with your
first table use.
Judge R. M. Whitten was aroused

between midnight and day on last
Saturday night while alone at home,
and on inquiring the trouble he was
informed that no harm was intended,
cut there was a biother and sister in
black who, having escaped from Ala¬
bama, desired to be made one. The
Judge gratified their fond desire and
they went on their way rejoicing.

parents Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Hines.
The friends of Hon. R. A. Russell
of Hamilton were pleased to set him
in our community last week.
Rev. R. H. Bollock of Chipley
made us a pleasant visit a few days
ago:

rich viands of life, that he will feast
so high that it will render him in¬

’ Death has again invaded our midst,
this time taking a little rosebud, to
transplant in the garden of Eden.
Died, June the 5th, the infant son of
Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Snell, aged
six months. The parents hearts are
sorely wounded by the removal of
their little gem, but we hope they
suffer as Christians, knowing that all
is well with their little babe. v
Want of space causes the omission
of several items that will be given

Foraker does not think that Judge
Thurman’s nomination will add any
strength to the democratic ticket in
Ohio. Well, maybe it will and maybe
it will not, but there is one thing of
which we are fully convinced—Fora
ker’s nomination by the republicans
would be very strengthening to the
democratic ticket all over the coun¬
try. It would act like a charm.—
