J. B. Beall, and is the Savannah News has the follow- j worthy of its share of patroiiage by ing: The nomination of Mr. Carlisle is fortunate for the democratic party. It Is an authoritative announce ment that the party is in favor of advancing in the work of reforming the tariff. There will now he a well defined issue with the repub lican party. It will he an issue Which, if properly presented and intelligently and earnestly urged, Mill win the working and middle classes to the democratic standard. Mr. Carlisle will make a good speaker. He is a man of great abil ity ana liberal views. He has had large legislative experience, hav ing served six years in congress and a number of years in the legisla ture of his state. He is 4S years of age, amiable in disposition and courteous in manners. The people of^ffeorgia favored him, and all of her representatives who obeyed tirawili of their constituents gave him their support. The Georgia Pacific Railroad. No railroad ever built in the south was so thoroughly built and equipped as the Georgia Pacific lias been. This is jtho testimony of all who have travelled over this fine road. The writer not long ago passed over it from Anniston to Atlanta, andj what lie saw was a revelation to him. The iron used it of the heaviest, and the entire road-lied is being ballasted with rovk. The uniformity of the depots with their little parks around them, also adds much to its attractive ness. The part of the road running through Carroll is rapidly develop ing that section of our county. Vil la Rica’s growth under the quick ening influence of this road has been somewhat remarkable. The new town, Temple, also has a prom ising outlook liefore it. Of what has been done at these two places, since the building of the railroad, we shall have something more to say at another time. The recent completion of the Georgia Pacific to Anniston, gives Atlanta what she has been want- lng for years, direct communication with the coni fields and iron beds ef Alabama. This will give an im petus to manufacturing enterprises in that city, that will place it among the foremost of Georgia’s manu facturing cities. But this road will net only bring cheap coal and iron to Atlanta, hut will add greatly to its commercial importance, by giv- tng to it the trade of a section of country, which it has not hereto fore controlled entirely. We know that a great deal of cotton is being cent to Atlanta via this road, which has before this, gone to Rome and other points. As a good many miles of this road run through Carroll county, j wo ■hull at an early day the schedule of it for the benefit of j. oar roudors on its line. > the good people of Carroll. Every citizen of Carroll should take both of their county papers, for I hold that the more papers the people have the more they will road. A county paper enhances and guards the interest of every citizen of the county. No odds however humble or what their circumstances may he in life, the county paper points him upward and onward. Then dear readers will you not help your editors in promoting your own welfare and the general interest of your county. Captain W. B. Richards, of County Line, Carroll county, paid us a visit on last Sunday and the captain was so glad to see me that he kissed me. I diden’t much like the style, but as it was a Carroll fashion, I submitted to it, but don’t let Mrs. Ripples hear of it, for if she does, I will miss many a sweet smack. Property sold at Win.

H.O.ROOP lias just received a large and complete stock of general merchandise. Tho Oat Crop. No urop the past few years lias pro- Tea anch a profltableone in the south aa the oat crop. It lias supplanted to a considerable extent, in certain localities, the cultivation of corn, as it ia aqnaily as good food for stock and is raised at much less ex pense. Another thing about this crop, is that by rotating on it, the land is rested, ant! also filled with humus, •o necessary to the cultivation of •otton. As an evidence of what can he dona in Carroll county with oats, W» notice not long since a coin- mnnieation in Home A Farm, from W. H. Nullcy, near Villa Rica, in which he states that he has raised this year, off of one acre of ground, 101 threshed bushels of oats. The following is Mr. N’s method of putting them in, and also the ma nure nsed in fertilizing. We quote from his letter : I measured off an acre of land on the doth of Janu ary last. I had it broke with a three an a half inch diamond point Monitor plow, then put on fifty baahel* cotton seed,and sowed four ■■d a half bushels clean rust proof oats, then plowed thaw In with the plow, and put on one 2ff(> Mt«fc of guano, and then them in. I cut ninety-four fwm that acre, threshed out one hundred and one bosh els. I am going to try for l-<> hasbels next year. Tallapoosa Tappings, Specially Reported by Quffp. Editor Frkk Pukss : An old Car- rollite, recently a citizen of New Tallapoosa, desires to say a few words for the place of his new resi dence and its people. No Mr. Edi tor if you will permit, here we go: Our little mushroom village is certainly on a boom. We have eleven business houses and others going up. Strangers are daily com ing in seeking and making invest ments. ()ur streets present a scene of busy life, pictured with loaded cotton wagons, poultry, game, and in fact all the products of the field and forest. The lumber trade here is extensive, there being in the town and in close proximity sev eral mills in successful operation, affording to the owners a handsome revenue. The magnificent pine forests bor dering the town, furnishes a supply of timber, well nigh iinoxhaustible, | and many years will pass before , , , any appreciable scarcity of lumber 1 ! material will be observable. Our population is a thrifty and j industrious one, embracing almost every department of human indus try. Here we have the laborer and the scientist, the vendor of wares and tlie dispenser of benzine, rock ing along smoothly and harmoni ously together, each striving with might and main to promote the other’s interest, with the motto gra ven on tlie common shield: “Peace on earth and good will toward men.” True enough, once in a while some of the hoys become en gaged in a fisticuff with bold .1.
