THE POLITICAL OUT-LOOK.
The national democratic convention
has nominated Grover Cleveland for
President and Allen G. Thurman for
Vice President. The selections are
the best that could be made if the
nomination of Thurman be not a mis¬
take. The Georgia delegation wise¬
ly voted for Gov. Gray. Taking hu¬
man probabilities this ticket will win
a victory in November. President
Cleveland was nominated by accla¬
mation, the only instance in the his¬
tory of national conventions, except
when Gen. Jackson was nominated
by acclamation in 1832.
From now until November much
excitment will prevail and mu$h use
*
less breath spent. The prospect of a
settlement of the tariff question is
not assuring. The huge corpora¬
tions north and west which have fat¬
tened and grown rich on public spoils
will not give up protection without a
desperate struggle. They seek to
urge the wage earners that their wet
fare is sought to be injured by tariff
reform and though the assertion be
eminently untrue the ignorant and
prejudiced are liable to be misled by
• it. The democratic platform takes
solid ground emphatically for tariff
reform and passed unanimously and
the democratic party must win or
lose an that issue. It is reasonable
to conclude that the right will pre¬
vail. If left with the people unbias¬
ed tariff reform would certainly pre¬
vail.
An unwise policy is being pursued
toward Mr. Randall and his friends
and this may jeopardize the Presi¬
dential election. In no period of its
history has the democratic party
needed friends more than now. Every
vote will count. A spirit of concili
ation ought to prevail and some con
cession ought to be made.
The republican party is bitter and
malignant and will resort to any
means for success. Among them are
some men as unscrupulous as they
are talented. Their banner will be
the “bloody shirt” with rampant sect-
ionalism and terrible appea'.s to north¬
ern ignorance and prejudice. The
contest will be a bitter one and New
York and Indiana will be necessary
to success. The South will be solid
—she could not be anything else,
Good government depends upon the
success of the democratic party.

A SUGGESTION.
The value of the International
Sunday School Lesson is generally,
if not universally, acknowledge d.They
are comprehensive, simple and wise
and contain the most important facts
and points in Scripture, history and
doctrine. The world is wiser by
their publication and study. How
shall they be best studied and to the
greatest profit? How shall the great¬
est good be ofelUned ffbrn their study?
Not by the mere memorizing the an¬
swers to the questions. Not by a
confused idea of the subject or an¬
swers by note, but by a thorough
mastery of the subject of the lesson.
Though the questions are simple and
easily answered, much study is re?
quired to fully understand them. Let
the notes and explanations be fully
mastered. Let commentaries, if at
hand, be consulted and any other
helps, and when the mind is full of
the sciipture texts and all explana¬
tions to be had then turn the ques¬
tion and frame the proper answers.
To be able to answer the questions is
good as far as it goes, but the true
idea is to make the subject your own;
then memory and understanding con¬
cur in fixing the subject permanently
in the mind. Then the good seed
will be sown in good ground and
bring forth an abundant harvest.
Anything that is worth doing at all is
worth doing well. Seize the idea
and the truths taught wtih their sur¬
roundings and be not confined to
mere words or language.

PURIFY YOUR BLOOD.
Bodily and mental health depends
upon a healthy condition of the blood,
The blood particularly in the spring
and summer months, become clogged
with impurities, which poison it and
generate disease. A harmless blood
purifier is necessary to restore a
healthy tone. The best purifier and
tonic known is Swift’s Specific (S. S.
S.). Of its wonderful purifying and
tonic powers we give a few testimo
mals:
Mr. Wm. A. Siebold, with George
P. Rowell & Co., io Spruce Street,
New York, writes: “I feel it my
duty, for the benefit of others who
may be afflicted as I was, to write
you this letter, which you can use in
any way you choose. I suffeied
great pain from boils, all over my
neck; I could not turn my head with¬
out acute pain. After trying all the
usual remedies, and finding no re¬
lief, I used one bottle of S. S. S., and
very soon I was entirely relieved of
my “Job’s Comforters.” Now not
a sign of my affliction can be seen.”
Mr. M. S. Hamlin, Winston, N. C.
writes: “I use it every spring. It
always builds me up, giving me appe¬
tite and digestion, and enabling me
to stand the hot summer days. On
using it I soon become strong cf
body and easy of mind.
Mr. C. E. Mitchell, West 23d St.
Ferry, New York writes: “I weigh¬
ed 116 pounds when I began taking
your medicine, and now 152 pounds.
I would not L»e without S. S. S. for
m
several times its weight in gold.

Mountain Ilill Happenings.
A nice rain Monday evening.
Farmers are out of the grass.
Miss Clara Smith came up from
Columbus Satuiday.
Mr. W. A. Smith paid home folks
a flying visit last week.
Miss Willie Cline is spending the
summer with her sister in Upson
county.
Mr. J. M. Askew, Jr., has smiled
his face out of all shape. The first
one is a boy.
Dr. W. H. Campbell visited Troup
county Saturday and returned late
Monday night. Wonder what is to
pay.
Miss Susie Davis,the belie of Chat
tahoochee Valley, has been spending
a few weeks with relatives. She is
this week the guest of Miss Henry
Lou Calhoun.
Mountain Hill has the boss Sunday
school, but young men and boys, be
ware! , O, ~ , beware of c the . example , that ,
is being set by some of your teachers
on Saturday nights and rainy even
ings. Teachers see the influence
you are wedding. It seems that the
gospel of Jesus Christ is being crush
ed, drifting into heresay and politics,
Thus it seems that the future welfare
of our country depends largely upon
the Sunday school work. Selah.

How First Class Hotels Benefit a Town
The Thomasville Times says:
“Thomasville was the fust town in
Georgia to grasp the fact that a first
class winter hotel would pay. And
her own capital was forthcoming to
carry out the enterprise. Thomas
C. Mitchell was a man who had the
foresight, the means and the nerve to
inaugurate-the new departure. His
investment proved a bonanza to the
town and a profitable one to himself.
A few years later. Mr. L. Alex.
Smith, and a few other public spirited
gentlemen, erected the second hotel
here, the Piney Woods. Iffiist class
hotels are magnets, then Thomasville
is bound to draw. Now we have in
rapid process of construction the
magnificent Masury hotel. This
splendid structure will be Thomas
ville’s third large hotel. It is being
built by a prominent New York cap¬
italist, who appreciates the impor¬
tance and advantages of Thomas/ille
as a winter resort. And there is
strong talk, in fact well defined steps
takeo, to erect a fourth large hotel—
larger perhaps than any yet erected.
Thomasville will soon be the hotel
city of Georgia.
