A Sweeping Reply.
Gaillakd, Ga., Dec., 1890.
To the Crawford County Herald:
I notice in the issue of the 28th of
November an article from Everett’s sta¬
tion signed “M. I).,” in which lie says
the Alliance is opposed pledged to our public them¬
school system, and have
selves to instruct our representative to do
all in his power to abolish the system.
Now, I am not a member of that Alli¬
ance, and don’t know iheir views on the
school question, minority, but I do if know that a
very respectable public not a ma¬
jority, are in favor of the school
sydem, and ar , [jug all in their power

There are a few of us living now that

them to us as a legacy. At the comple¬
tion of the YY. & A. R. It. one of our
greatest statesmen said in a speech that on
that occasi n that the earnings ot
road rightly appropriated wou'd be a
lever that wonld elevate our children into
the higher circles of society aud fame.
Now, that we need more money and less
grumbling, let us ail put our shoulders
to the wheel and educate our* children,
for this is our imperative duty even
though we should have to submit to a
higher taxation. We owe it to them.
They are not here on their own accord
but they are here by our own pleasure,
aud becomes our duty to make any and
every sacrifice to store their minds with
useful knowledge bv which they can ele¬

The other evening while the audience

earnest discussion as to the merits of a

New Use for Buttermilk.
Dr. Stanley 31. Ward states that he
has found fresh buttermilk very service¬
able iu relieving vomiting of various
forms. The remedy is administered ice
cold, in doses of about half a teaspoon-
fal, repeated every fifteen or twenty
minutes, iu the case of children with
cholera infantum, lie has often succeeded
in quieting the stomach by interdicting
everything else, and using a few drops of
fresh ice cold buttermilk at intervals
varying in length according to the sever-
itv of the case.—[Commercial Advertiser.
The city of Macon is in a flourishing
condition. While business is not as brisk
as usual on account of the money strin¬
gency which almost amounts to a panic
throughout the country, the merchants,
manufacturers and banks are prepared to
meet the eimrgeney. No failures are an¬
ticipated. The money market is light
because exchange on Northern banks
canuot be purchased. This has a de¬
pressing effect on cotton for the present,
but it is behind. The tide will turn
early in January, and before the middle
of that month the present uneasiness in
money matters will be over.
