B. T. ALLEN, Editor, EDITORIAL mVlUNOH. Literary ctlUul'o—priming a spring poem. This paper is giving moro value for SI than any country journal in Georgia. The election of Judge Martin, a simon-pure democrat, to bo United States senator from Kansas, by a co alition of democrats and populists has excited the indignation of Muter Mary Ellen. She says it is the deatli of the people’s parly. Agriculture is the backbone of the world, mill that ci'y, town or com munity that fails tu oncourags the farming Interests around it is going to full ogrogioiuly behind m (lie race for prosperity. Tiflon can paste this self-evident truth in her Imt. Copt. Urn (I well, stale school com missioner, snyu there is a perfect rush of applicants for positions ns school census enumerators.

The Uazut'Nc is not worrying It- self about whom President Cleveland will choose for his cahinet advisors. Tim editor might, " fret mid foam" a little if it would add anytliing to his exchequer. Hut it wont, and he is going to let Mr. C'lovelaml select them in peace.

The expense of purchasing school books is a heavy tax upon many parents, particularly when al lied with tho pernicious abuse Which allows those hooks to lie changed fre quently, Tim school hooks should he supplied from tho same treasury ns that which’ pays tho teachers and omits the buildings.” Itswou'.d seem, from this comment, that tha people of Pennsylvania as well as those of Georgia, are experi encing the hardships of a change in the text books to be used in her pub lic schools. The Gazin tk learns I Imt the re cent change in the text books ot Her- lien county is looked upon by the parents of poor children ns nil al most intolerable burden, and some of them hate had to doclino sending their children to school this spring simply for the reason they could not afford to undergo the extra expense of a new set of text hooks. The Gazuttk is informed that it requires about ftl per scholar to pay the difference bitwoen eld mid new hooks by the system of exchange, If tlio books are bought straight until will cost at least double that amount Then, if tin, parent has two or more I'hildrnti lie desires to send to school, the burden bceomes very obvious to the poor man. Ills, verily, very unfortunate that fhe selection of new text books and making new contracts with publish ers should come at this time when the Country has just emerged from an almost miparallolled llnmicinl strin gency; wlicn labor has been cither unemployed or putting ill short tune for months. Thu blame cannot fall upon tlm shoulders of the county hoards; the law requires them to make the change, mid thuy were compelled to comply with its inniidiilcs or he unfaithful to tlm trust reposed in ihcm under the law. per Uox, tor sale by I’lililli A l)o„ Tll'lim, (la.

The (iAzr.T rn would indelibly Im press upon the minds of the people of South Georgia in general anil those of McitIon, Irwin, Worth ami Colquitt counties particularly, that Hie price they gel fer their produce in tlm markets depends very largely upon the manner of preparation fur market. Careless ginning and packing of tile great staple cotton has not on- frequently lowered its grade mid caused it to sell fur much less money limn it would had it'been prepared for market with proper care. The shipping of unripe melons to inarkcl creates a distrust and suspi cion that is Imrd to overcome. Tho farmer who rinhes green melons to market seldom gets the price for tlm remainder of hi* crop, no matter what their merit may lie,as he would have done had he acted otherwise. Tho reputation for shipping inferior melons, created by the llrst shipment, remains with him throughout tho suit- SOII, Fresh incuts beef, pork and mnU ton put upon the market earelossly mol improperly dressed will not com mand as good price as It, will when care is taken to give it a neat, clean appearance. No doubt the farmers in the vicinity of Tiflon have o.xpe- I'ioiiood lids fact. The preparation of butter, of suisngc, of hog's head chouse, all require care mid eloiuiii- HSU to create a dannual for them at extra goeil pricer.

With tho beginning of the new year a number of changes liavo been and are being made in the conduct 'Booth Georgia newspapers.

K. Y'usco Newborn has scoured control of the material of the lato Horrien County Voiee, moved it from Nashville hack to YVilliicoooheo and commenced the publication of a new paper—the Advertiser. It will be of vast service to the people of that town and section if they will give it a hearty support. The Aslihnin Advance has also changed hands—Unrcon & Hon hav ing sold it to Mr. J. lb Girardeau. The new proprietor promises to make it one of the best country papers in wiregrass Georgia.
