Last Saturday afternoon Mr.

With Miss Millie Hargraves, ho took
tlie east bound train for tbo homo of
the latter in Ware county, w here they
were married that afternoon, • The
young lady is a bister of the Mrs-
-dames Bennett of thin place,
Mrs. T, M. Bennett 1ms booh quite
wlek for several days past, but is mnv
slowly improving.
Politically speaking Enigma Is ns
quiet as a lamb, While the balance
of the world Is ranting mul tearing
over polities and parties the voters
in ibis section me moving on in the
even tenor of Ihoir way-at work
and will quietly vole for tlm right
lmin when the time comes. It does
seem that there aro li four men who
want to dictate to the many, class
then off whether or not, ami 'say to
wlmt party they shall belong. The
yeomanry of Georgia, with a few
exceptions, arc nil good democrats,
hut they nro tired of ring rule ami
jiolitkutl’trickery.
Nuby Horn, a colored limn belong
lug to the mil) force Imre, lias been

About a mile fount, of this piece. Tlm

is unknown, It in i ui.au.
Bolmmltut’s Budget.
Cmu Ga., April li. We were a
little previous last week in sending a
delegate to Xushvillo, but we didn’t
Idse anything by being hasty, ns we
sent a man who was wanted there
anyway and wo also had the h-nor to
pass the first democratic resolution to
support the nominees of the party at
the coming conventions, be they
whom they may. and thereby pledg
ing ourselves to principles and not to
men. I.ot the majority rule is a
good wholesome doctrine.
Two now business lnuseH were
opened hero last week. Sessions &
Co.’s general store and .J, W. Grady's
soda water,
Mr, I. P, B lote is also prepared to
cool men off during the hot summer
canvass, so you hail better conic
down, Mr, Editor, once a week to
test their power.
Sweet potatoes 75 cents a bushel
and none on tfie market at that,
What do you think about it farmers?
A rooster can’t stay here and crow
two mornings, Housewives, make a
note of that mul let us’hear no more
cry of hard times, Wo eat more than
wo raise is the turiff that needs re
form first.
In connection with the. above, Mr.
James T, Dobson gave me a mess of
patllsnlls, for which I was very grate
ful. Small gifts are just like cnp« of
honey—very good,
The reason that our farmers do
not raise more potatoes and rice is
that there is no swindle in them.
The thrifty sued speculator cannot
advertise a new anil enor
mously prolific variety, and the dear
cultivator knows at onco the whole
concern hns “ no money in it, ” and
therefore dociinos to make them, be
cause he ((all make meat ami bread
cheaper than lie can raise them. But
then the farmers know their own
business the best.
Bill Nyc turns to ridicule the old
times when people used to “go visit*
ing mul stay Mul eat a week,” bul,
as Sanclio Piinv, t says, “I’ll swear
they were old Christians.”
Not to be irreverent, give me old
time visiting) it's good enough for
me, fill, bow I enjoyed tlm home*
raised- lioinc-nimle light broad mul
nimie-raisoil lumey, and the frolic
with the children. But nmv honey
has become dmlelsli, and lirst-clnss is
15 cents a pound.
I was requested lo notice the
death of an eminent old rnttiesnnk
two weeks ago, before Easier, hut
forgot to write him up until I have
forgotten whether lie was 1-1 foot
long with seven buttons, or 7 feet
long with fourteen buttons, but of
one thing I mil sure, there were many
feet mul many 1 buttons, and you can
divide them according to the political
views of each candidate.
Our sister, Adel, is growing like
Oliphttilt's potatoes, aeeoriling to the
last number of the News, Now 01-
iplinnt shall toll it himself, its I did
not see it: "I had a rich cow-pen
out on Flint river,” said he, “and I
planted it in Brock yams, The
ground was naturally good, and I
thought I’d give 'em ii fair trial, but
the season was very dry, and it didn’t
seem likely they’d do nmeli, How
ever, in the fall I uollood one evenin'
that tlm ridges were pretty well
craekeil open and I said, I’ll put file
shouts on you in tlm mimim’; but
just before sundown a little rain
ennui up, I lay down nrlor while
and I could hear something groan,

wlieii I went out the latent had

There Is an opidomld of billions
disease in nml nrotiml here. Some
of our folks, your oorrospondoiit'a in
the number, have been quite sick
with it.
We nro gelling anxious to see it
rain. Guidons and oats are being
Injured by tlm ohronlo dry. How
ever, potatoea of good.mao are, with
peas, getting common on our tables,
Cecil lias boon made a woatlmr re

Tho recent game of foot hall between
Savannah anti Mercer was very exciting
anil fltistt all through. While the score
stood 90 to 0 la favor of Savannah, it Is
generally conceded boro (tint tho strength,
weight and ab.o of tlm Savannah men
overcame our hoys, who put up a very
plucky game. Mercer Is proud of her
team and thinks the game thoy played
would have beaten almost any of the
southern college teams. At any rate we
proproso to try It next eeuson.
