■“Is the present cold spell of weather
to be attributed to the coolness be
tween the Pi evident and Congress?”
if it is true, according to tlio old
saying, that “a coat of snow is as
good as a coat of fertilizer,” then all
south Georgia has been thoroughly
fertilized.
An exchange sounds tiiis warning:
“Now don’t imagine that the cut
worms are at all inconvenienced by
•the present blizzard. They are never
caught bv freezes, or else they fatten
on them.
It gives us pleasure to say it, be
cause it is true--Southern Georgia is
ns healthy a country, when considered
the year through, as ran lie found
under the broad canopy of high
Heaven. We challenge a compari
son.—Hrooks County News,
The Gordetc Sentinel makes this
very apparent observation: c.Soiiih
Georgia is showing more signs of re
luming prosperity than any other
section of the south. Alt eyes seem

as they sec us they want to live with

if Ihe'gold reserve continues to he
withdrawn at the rate it has Itoeti for
tlie past two or three months, it will
take only a verv short time to divest
tlie National treasury of the very
last cent. Now, this being a tingle
H<M slandafd government, what is to
become of its? ft is very certain
that tlie filhher issue of bonds for
English and American .Shylocks and
money sharks to speculate in, will
certainly not remedy tlie condition of
affairs. When all the gold is gone
from tlie Treasury, what is to he
done? We will have nothing with
which to meet our governmental ob
ligations. Will bur government not
lie in a nice condition when ready to
lie phi on tlie block and sold to tlie
highest bidder? This is a serious
matter, and I believe tlie people know
what they need; gold and silver on
a parity as money metals, and the against
free coinage of silver at it ratio of
1(5 to 1; but the people ere not in it
at all. Hwici.ak.
The Oabhttk tenders Congress

Staple cottOu seed, sent from the ag
ricultural department. As we had
previously decided not to raise any
cotton this year, we gave them to our
friend, Mr. G. II. Goodman, with lull
instructions to report results.
The failure of teachers to gel li
cense is not the fault ol the county
commissioner or of tlio hoard of edu
cation. (,'oiiiiuisMimer Glenn lias
raised the standard. Uellor educa
tion will be required of teachers un
der Ins administration than under
that of his predecessor, Thai is the
reason, says tlio Sparta Isbiiiaelite.
Thu Atlanta Journal’s Saturday
edition, edited by women in the in
terest of the woman's department at
the exposition, was a iiiiigiiilhcni
smiccsH in thu magnitude of its size,
whatever may he said of it otherwise.
It contained a number of well-written
articles, Ini) that of .Mrs. W. V. At
kinson, criticising the manlier preva
lent in tlie discussion of the woman
suffrage question, is by far the most
timely and practical article appearing
in the edition. Mrs. Steele's stmis-
tical article was a olevor rep >rt,
worthy of an experienced reporter.
The Brunswick Tunes-Advertiser is
right when it advises its readers to
‘'have nothing to do with the old mill
that is looking for n new home.’’ Ii
It is the new mills, with tlie latest
improved machinery, that lias won
prestige for rollon liuinularturing in
the south, There is an idle cotton
mill at Guitman, Georgia, standing as
a monument to the fully of buying
old, ftlilliplllted and worn out rollon
mill machinery. The Gakkttk em
phasizes the tulvleo of its Brunswick
eontuinporary, “l.ut not one dollar of

cry that is not of tin. latest improved
and approved design, and fresh from

The Gakkttk is not as familiar
with tlie financial question now con
fronting tlie country ns some of our
smith Georgia brethren, who arc
cursing tlie lion. II. G. Turner for
bis lone vote in favor of I ho Presi

If the reader will open his Tcstn-
tncnl, at the 13th chapter otVWatlicw’s
gospel, lie will find a parable in re
gard to taros among wile at. It. will
prove interesting reading, as well as
food for sober thought.
The common reader is just, now
puzzled to distinguish the tares from
the wheat; each of the plants differing
so widely as to he readily detected,
yet each claiming to lie wheat.
Jlciiinn‘iti'1/, a name and a Princi/ite,
which Ime eliurmed American people
for a century, has lived so long, and
taken so inurli patent medicine, 'till
her own children do not know her
from a stepmother? I'ic, lie I chil
dren; why do not you ask your old
uncles, who have known the old lady
from her youth up. Mr. Yankee any*

Mr. Western man says “me too”—

gress— Ini i rah I
The Southerner snjs “me too,” and
we send him up with a cyclone ma
jority. Glory, glory ! Now we elmll
have tlie political Millennium! Every
rascally act of tlio republicans will lie
swept from the national statute-book,
mill the days will be here when “all
men will lie free and equal," and the
yoke of Government will lie so ad
justed as to make every citizen tote
fair, and bear his just share of the
burden of luxation, and “special priv
ileges" will be granted to tione! Glo
rious, halcyon days!
Bill a little cloud, no bigger Ilian a
man’s hand; and abis ! no less, rises
on the political horizon, and i.bseures
the harmony of the proud old party.
The language is confounded, and
(•iti-li limn interprets for himself, and
no one call understand tlio true watch-
wold, and ibis mighty tower of
strength, “Hi/ IIiii I’m/ilr— l/'or the
IVe/i/c,” is abandoned !
Democracy is defined to lie a “Gov
ernment hy the People." This is Ab-
tmiiod hy a majority of all ilie people
expressing llieiv will by ballot. If
honestly and fairly carried nut in de
tail, il is undoubtedly the form of
government Iimst conducive to the
happiness of mi intelligent people;
lull when, hy fraudulent means or
treachery, the popular will is sel
aside, the government ceases to be
deiiiiicriilii', and. more or less, the
weaker elass of cili/.cns arc oppressed.
Tim more tyrants,the more trouble,
as tlie oppressors counsel together to
hide tin'll' oppression, adding a lie In
a steal, .lust now tlm tares, although
not so many as llm wheat, mv strong
ly rontrd, and arc fast hybridizing
tin* good seed.
The need of the hour is to destroy
the lures at all hazard; then wo may
hope to raise good seed for uimlhcr
crop. Will tlm political field be
burned off before we sow again?

man not subject to error has 'never been
elected to that office or any other; though
"Tax Payer" seems to think the perfect
man may he obtained for this purpose
Who knows? Ho, himself, rffuy anticipate

(Tax Payer), 1 would say that lie had
more brass than bruin—Juilglng.of course,
from Ills article of Jenliary 30. I am not
a gambling man, or I would wager that
ho does not pav ten.dollars taxes a year;
as It is generally the case that the small-
payers arc the hardest kickers
finances. Further, I have never
written on article tlmt I did not have the,
nerve or m"i'iil cburngo to sign mv. real
name lo. It Is no phiee to sign a cow
ardly or fictitious name.
Now, .Mr Editor, 1 am frank enough
lo confess I hut 1 made Hume mistakes,und
so have all other 'I ax Receiver* before

takes were made hy the tax payers them
