The Elbert®) Star thinks that
Tmn Willson and hi* crowd should
die the death that comes from being
absolutely let alone,
“Tli# dollar of onr daddies" is hav
ing a hard battle with , the goldolu-
tors, blit this people are on the side
of silver and it will win a glorious
victory.
JFon. Ben E, Bussell, of the Hec-
.onjl Georgia congressional district,
went over to New York on the glo
rious Fourth and shook the paw of
tho Tammany tiger.
The bondholders of the Georgia
Boutherii and Florida railroad seem
anxious to become the owners of
that properly by the wav they are
urging its early sab'. It is as fine
railroad property as there is in Geor
gia.
Booth Georgia promises to be In
the races for United Stales senator
and governor at the next elections,
united heart and hand, with victory
as her watchword. There is no doubt
she will have to light to win.
The people elected <1 rover Cleve
land and the present congress to
carry into practical effect the demo
orutio platform ominoiiituil at Uliieu
go, and it those worthies fail to do
ho they are going to know the reason-
why.
, Tho Blate Normal Beliool opened
on the fith hist., at the old “Bock
college, near Athens, under very
favorable aiiHpioes. The corps of
instructors is complete and the at
tendance of teachers promises to be
quite large.
Tho Atlanta Gonslitiition seems to
he “powerfully” afraid south Geor
gia democrats are going to kick out
of tho political traces unless she gels
a rich plum at the next picking. The
CfniiBtitul.ioii often builds u man of
’ straw and then turn upon him all’ll
knock him down,
Tho Boston World nomlnalcs
Hon. It. G, M italic,II, of Thomasville,
for governor. Wo have no objection
to the nominee, but the privilege of
nominating south Georgia’s candi
date belongs to the democracy of
Berrien county; therefore, wo lnslsl
that tho World iH too prr vines in ils
nomination.
■ Bin. Tlmxton, of the Jackson Ar
gus, hints that there are some young
men in Georgia trying to run news
papers who would'iit know a local
item if they were to stumble over
one. Yes brother, they are tho col
lege grown editors; they haven’t I lie
juigiitest idea of the practical side of
newspaper life, and if they ever learn
must commence at the tiotlcm round
of newspaper olllce duties.
The “vexation of spirit” incident
to running a out a try newspaper is as
nothing compared to limb attending
the running of a government job,
where your next-door neighbor is on
ly waiting your least duviatjpn from
tho old ruts to have yon “tired” and
hiniBelf “installed." A government
employee never knows who are Ins
friends nor his enemies, and never
gets a “day olt” to find out,
Tho co-education of the sexes is
taking deep root in tho South. The
Blate University of Alabama is the
first to admit young ladies to its
privileges—.thereby llxing the preoe-
dent, which, it is said, “all the higher
educational institutions of the South
ure likely to follow.” The wisdom
of this innovation upon Southern
customs, made by the Hoard of
Trustees of the Alabama University,
v is doubtful to Hity the least of it. In
> onr opinion the co-education of the
Hexes should end with the academies
and high schools, but it is claimed
that ninny Northen colleges and
universities have thrown open their
doors, placing young women,in equal
competition with young men for a
higher education with satisfv.otnry
result*.
, A Statement,
The article which appeared in' the
Gazkttr three or four weeks since
relative lo shipment of a car of vege
tables from Tifton to Cincinnati, Mid
staling that the car was six days en-
roUte, low led to an investigation of
the quitter and the charge that the
editor wrote unadvisedly or “wrote
about something of which ho knew
nothing.”
in justice to ourself wo will say
Unit the article was based upon state-
menfs of one of the consignors, also
publish the facts as disclosed.by the
papers connected with the investiga
tion: The ciir of vegetables in ques
tion left Tifton via express freight
ul3:30 p. in,, May 31st; arrived in
Macon and delivered to Central rail
road at 1:15 a. in. June tat; arrived
at Cincinnati and delivered to con
signee at 7:40 a. in. June 41,It—three
days, sixteen hours and ten minutes
after leaving Tifton, There is a con
flict of a little more than two days
in the two statements—one made by
a consignor and the other by the
Agent of the Louisville and Nash
ville railroad at Nashville, Tenn,,
the two having diverse interests—but
we submit to a critical public and
conscientious railroad ofliciiffi, taking
the hitter's statement as true, if that
is a fast express freight schedule be
tween Tifton and Cincinnati? Cal
culating the distance at seven hun
dred miles and the car three days in
transit, the spfnl is less than ten
miles an hour,
The Gazuttu has no desire to
publish erroneous statements or lo
misrepresent the railroads in the
least, and will here reiterate what, it
lias said before tilts Georgia South
ern and Florida railroad ollleiiils
have always shown a /disposition to
assist onr fruit and vegetable grow
ers in making their vocations' prolit-
ablo to them, and the growers are
showing their appreeialioii by a lib-
ofql pal rim age. The editor did not
in his first article nor does lie now
attach any blame lo the ullloluls of
lliis road or hold them responsible
for the default of connections. Tho
papeis show diligence on their part
in delivering Ilia car to its flounco-
i Ions,
This brings us to where we left olT
in our former article—Ilia railroads
will have to give faster schedules or
Hie truck growers of South Georgia
cannot al'fonl to ship to Northern and
Western markets.

Gray Beard Imd not the least idea
of making light of the ordinance of
Baptism when lie made the remark
Unit thirteen negroes were baptised
at I •rices’ mill pond, brother Allen.
I only meant that it was through
curiosity tlint the white people were
in alteridultoo.—Gray Heard, in
Worth County Bocal.
Just so, you should have said what
you meant. The ordinance bf bap
tism is too hoIoiiiii an uotto be spoken,
of in a light and frivolous inuiuier.
Wo go further, and say that those
who attended this negro baptising
from Idle uuriosity—there is no oi lier
sort of curiosity—-hud better beet, at
home ucun liliig the scriptures to
learn something of God's will con
cerning them. Again, their curiosity
on tho Subject of Baptism might
have been mure satisfactorily ap
peased.

ilt is gratifying to know that since

The girls continue to udopt all
things masculine for their own pur

never be popular except on some mail’s

Use more white wash about your

The People'/ party convention in
Ohio has demanded that President
Cleveland be impeached “for pander

This week lias been a fine one for

The real live and intelligent farm

This section of the country is go

—Woodbury Messenger.
'Whatever else may be said of tho

If south Georgia would furnish

We have lived quite awhile and'

nothing in tlio way of work.' It is a
