It is a well established fact, that nearly every profession lias an organization for protection and to advance their interest, and its members stand by and defend that organization, which in the main is run small boats as far as Franklin if not further. They are now run ning up as far as Hairston’s ferry and will continue to remove what ever obstacles may be in the way, until they get through to Franklin. Below Atlanta according to the ac count given last week, the naviga- right. The farmers of the state of! tion of the river fora number of Georgia, have a well organized so ciety, and are dependent upon the sub-societies of each county for the life, and existence, of the State so- cietv. We have in Carrollton a well Judge Stewart of Spaulding coun ty is said to be in the race for con gress in the Fifth district. With two candidates in Fulton, Hammond and Jackson, Judge Stewart’s chances would seem to organized club and on the roll about CO members. Do they all at tend the monthly meetings? Stand by the society, and try to build it up! Do all the members meet the club once a month, and interchange he pretty good, if there are no oth - Yiews, a,u ^ counsel with each oth er candidates. A correspondent of the Atlanta Journal says that there is consider able excitement in Clay county, Alabama, • over the discovery of gold in that county. One man bought land for $2,000 and sold out a fourth interest for $ 10,00* i. The widow of the late John Speer, who was once senator from this district, is contesting in the court of ordinary of Troup county, the will of her husband, he having left the bulk of his property about $40,000 to his three brothers, excep ting an annuity of $750 a year to her. In the elections on the whisky question last week in Whitfield and Cobb counties, the former went by a handsome majority against whis ky, and latter two to one against it. The prohibition wave seems to be extending, and it is predicted that within a year no liquor will be sold in Georgia outside of the large cities. The “pensioners and flunkies” as the Macon Telegraph calls them, of Mr. Tilden, continue to slop over about the Tilden boom. It has been hinted that the old man would open lihr “barrel” if put on the presiden- ial track, and the suggestion nat urally arises, in view of the efforts which are being made in certain quarters to “fire the public heart’ on the Tilden question, has lie not al ready done so ? ~ The Atlanta correspondent of the Macon Telegraph says that in a re cent conversation with a party of genrieiaen interested in the manu facture of fertilizers he was assur ed by'them, that the indications are now that there will be a larger sale this year than last. Last year 154, 000 tons were inspected and they think this year there will be over 170,000 tons. Of this quantity be tween 40 and 50,000 tons are manu factured in this State. The Marietta Journal writes of a certain class, to be found in every community, in the following forci ble style: “To hear some men talk makes you feel as though a pile o dirty water had been thrown over you. They don’t believe in virtue because they have no personal ex perience with that quality of char acter and they are just conceited enough to believe what they have, not, no other man can possibly possess. Self-esteem and lamp black; were mixed in equalfpropor- tions when they were made.” Gen. Grant was only 47 when in augurated President, the youngest by several years of any before or since. But no candidate more than 70 years of age has been elected to the great office, and a contempora ry draws an unfavorable inference from that fact as to “the old ticket,” about which so much lias been said. President Harrison was the oldest President, having been 08 when he entered the White liouse in 1841.— Washington was 59 when inaugu rated in Philadelphia ninety-five years ago. The Fail-burn News-Letter clos es an able article, addressed to the business men of Fairburn on the duty of sustaining their local paper andadvertising in the same thus: 1st. Advertising j pays. If there is a merchant in the county who doubts this, let him authorize us to insert an advertisement like this; and we’ilremove his skepticism: “Bill Blank lias quit dealing in cof fee; his sugar is half sand, his cal ico fades, his shoes are all paste board, and liis whole stock is made depravitv. up of odds and ends that are not worth half what he aske for them. He always misrepresents his goods; and his clerks are a set of drunken rowdies who are apter to insult you than not.” Now if advertisnments are never read, it wont hurt any body to put something like this in the paper, with your name to it.— What do you say? 2d. It is the * duty of every man to support his home paper, because he reaps a beiiefitfrom it. The businessman who refuses to do this, is getting the benefit of the editor’s labor without making him any return — Are you willing to this ? er, and tell how they succeeded or made a failure ? Or does a large proportion of the members have their names enrolled, and never make their appearance before the club again? Carroll county is getting to be a great agricultural county, not only do her citizens think so, but she is looked upon thorugliout the state, as the banner agricultural county in the State with Carrollton one of the best business towns of its size that can be found in the south and and having no manufacturing es tablishments, is dependent entirely upon the agriculture of the county and adjoining counties. Then should not the farmers of our coun ty have pride enough about them,to build up the central club at Carrol- miles by small boats seems to he he possible. These experiments on a small scale by private enterprise, show w'hat can he done in navi gating the Chattaliooche, J between West Point and Atlanta, and will no doubt be supplemented in the near future by aid from the general gov- erment. As to the navigation of the river between West Point and Colum bus it would cost more than it would come to, as the thirty miles intervening between those cities is almost one perpetual shoal. The new Episcopal church at Ce- dartown will soon bt? completed. Levi Pendergrast an old citizen of Heard county died last week. The survey of the railroad, from Chipley to Greenville has com menced. S. N. Laws of Meriwether county has been bitten by a mad dog. Cedartown gave $500 to the cyclone sufferers. Coweta county has organized a county Sunday-school association, with J. F. Lovejoy for president. The Coweta Advertiser has in ton, from GOto at least 200. And in-! terviewed Mayor Berry on the pro- stead of 8 or 10 attending each j posed new railroad to Franklin, meeting, let every member attend i and he gives it as his opinion that punctually. I know of nothing R w ill be Dciilt. that would build our county up fas ter. Then let every district in the county organize a settlement club to meet every two weeks, or once a month, have no regular place of meeting but let them meet' first at A’s, second at B’s and third at C’s. And let A B or C at whose house they meet furnish dinner for the party and have in your constitution that there shall be nothing on the table to eat, that was not produced Brick work on the new Baptist church in Newnan has commenced. The Newnan Herald saysjthat the death of Ed Delones in the asylum at Milledgeville is reported. We see from the Newnan Her ald that the grand jury of Coweta county recommend the appoint ment of Judge H. W.

I see New Mexico, Whitesburg and the Third districts have orga nized clubs. Now let them run their clubs on the above plan and see if it don’t work well. With such men as R. H. Springer president of the Whitesburg club,and W. B. Richards president of the Third they will succeed, and if run upon the above plan it will not be long before Ripples can have the pleasure of re cording that many members of that club have “old corn, and new corn,” “old bacon and new bacon” and a plenty of it. I have not been able to attend the meeting of the Carrollton club for some time, but learn that at their last meeting they- appointed a committee to make up a premium list for 1884, for the best acre of cotton, or best acre of up-land and bottom land corn etc. Now r that was a move in the right direction. Joaquin Miller has become widely known as one of the most powerful dra- matk- writers America has ever produced. His stories sue eagerly sought by the foremost periodicals of the country, and That committee will make the premiums worth contending for. TqaQUIN MlL^ER Let every member of the club J ~ prepare one acre, or more, and come to the next meeting on next 1st Saturday in April and enter the race for one or all the premi ums and to those who are not members, prepare your acre, come up on that day and join the club, and enter the race. You shall have an equal chance, all who contend for premiums must enter that day. The state agricultural society has decided to hold a fair in October at Macon. Now through theseagricul- tural clubs let Carroll the banner county send a full supply of her produce and not he excelled by any county in the state, and let us have a big agricultural boom this year.

Ills great American drama, “The Dau- ites," lias been played for years to crowd ed houses throughout America and Eng land. His “Songs of the Sierras," first published in London, awakened a furore of enthusiasm, and he wjis at once “lionized” by English society, Ms popu larity equalling that of Bret Harte. His life has been a singularly romantic one. When a lad lie was taken to Oregon to live, at a time when white settlers were almost unknown there. He prac ticed mining in California during that memorable period of excitement follow ing tlie discovery of Gold. lie was one of the Nicaragua expedition in 1855, under General Walker, and after many adventures with Indians and miners, he became a judge in Oregon. He is at present building a log-cabin on one of the prominent sites at Washington, D. C., takes them, and “they are judged—and The journey, with its sus picions clustering around a colossal and mysterious figure, which forms one of the train; the suspense as they near Salt Lake City; the secret work of the Dan- ites; the flight of the girl and her final fate, are told with a realism and dramatic force rarely found in the fiction of any age. The story is a timely as well as a thrilling one. It deals with a people and a fanaticism that are at present the cen tre of national interest, and an interest which is bound to grow greater before it grows less. By special arrangment with the author we will commence the pub lication of the above story in our next issue. SATURDAY NIGHT. It was the son of Erin who asked the meeting to excuse him from serving on a committee because lie expected to be unexpectedly called away. A woman doesn’t consistently use profane language, but the way she says “Gracious!” when she slips down, is full of subtle mean ing and inherent force. The dwelling house of C. P. John son, three miles north of Buchan an, was destroyed.by fire on the fifth inst. S is completed. His new story, “Sealed Unto Him," is founded on facts, some of them from his personal experience. It treits of the Danites, or “avenging angels" of the Mormon church, as they existed over thirty years ago. The foremost charac ter, the one about whom the story revol ves, is a Mormon elder, a leader of the Danites, a madman in his fanatical zeal, and a giant in stature and strength. He is one of the most powerful dramatic creations that have appeared hi modern fiction. v The heroine of the story is a beautiful young lady, who, in an ignorant freak, is induced to become “sealed" to a Mor mon elder, before tlie sect had removed from Illinois to Salt Lake City. Fearing, the vengeance of the Danites because of - IMMENSELY POPULAR! The Leading Family Paper in the United State. The hold which this beautifully illus trated weekly retains upon the people’s confidence ^eeins astonishing, but it is due entirely to the real worth of its va ried contents.
