THE CENTRAL’S SCOOP.
THE SAVANNAH, DUBLIN A WEST-
ERN RAILROAD
Bought up by the Central, and it Won t
he Allowed to Pas* Through the
City of Macon.
Savannah, Dec. 31 —The Central
railroad has scooped the Savannah.
Dublin and Western.
The stock of the construction coin
pany has all been purchased, and the
road is now under the control of the
great Central sysletn. which operates
so tnauy of the commercial highways
of the State. The Central antbori
ties now have the documents in their
possession, and the Savannah, Dublin
and Western short line exists no
longer as a separate corporation.
The intention of the road was to
have been to run from Savannah via
Dublin through the great lumber
region, on an almost air line to
Macon, and hence westward proba
bly to the coal fields of Albama.
School Board Election.
At a meeting of the Public School
Board on Let Thursday morning,
December 29th, the following officers
were elected for the ensuing year:
President—N. B. Drewry.
Vice President—Rev. M. McN.
McKay.
Treasurer—Thos. Nall.
Secretary—A. J. M. Bizien.
The schools will open again on
next Monday, January 9th, of which
further notice will be given in onr
advertising columns. The prospects
are that the attendance will be very
large and that there will not be en
ough room in some grades to aejsom
raodate the accession of pupils. The
public schools have steadily grown
not only in efficiency but popularity
since tbeir opening, and now their
former strongest opponents would
be the last to dispense with them.
Starting under crucial and rather
critical auspices, it has required able
management on the part of the di
rectors and the superintendent to
place them in their present high po
sition, and the hearty thanks of the
community are due and doubtless
rendered them.
The Morning Dress.
It is said that a lady’s standing in so
ciety can easily be determined by her
dress at the breakfast table; an expen
sive, showy costume indicating that the
wearer has not yet learned the proper
ties. But no one need be afraid of be
ing called "shoddy” if her loveliness is
as apparent by daylight as at the hops.
Perfect beauty is never the attendant of
disease; above all, of those find diseases ;
cuiiar to women, and which a reai

Burglars in Hampton.
VV. P. Wilson’s store was broken
into at Hampton Friday night and
about fifty dollars' worth taken
therefrom, consisting of shoes, flour,
pants, and knit shirts. The money
drawer was broken to pieces in try
ing to get it open.
Wm. Bright’8 store door was beat
en with a sledge hammer and the
lock broken, but the bolt did not
get out of the socket, so that the
thieves were foiled; and after an
hour’s work Mr. Bright entered to
find all right.
D. B. Dnsct’s store door was bor
ed into, with a view of removing the
lock, but day came too soon for the
thieves, and they left without any
boodle.

THE FARMERS ALLIANCE.
Its Objects Fully Explained by a Mem¬
ber.
Haralson, Ga„ Dec. 31, 1887.
Editor Griffin News;— As tfc#
question of The Farmers Alliance it
agitating the minds of the people
over Georgia, and I have received
numerous letters from various por
tions of the State inquiring about it^
with your permission through youT
valuable paper, to its many reader#
tbrougbcnit the SUf, I here,a .end
Ton tbe declaration of parpoaes:
Profoundly impressed that we,
The Farmers Alliance, united by th#
strong and faithful ties of financial
and home interests, should set forth
our declaration of intentions, we
therefore resolve,
1st, To labor for the education of
the agricultural classes, in science of
economical government in a strictly
non partisan spirit.
2d, To indorse the motto “in things
essential unity, and in all things char
ity.”
3d, To develop a better state men
tally, morally, socially and financial
ly-
4tb, To create a better understand
ing for sustaining civil officers in
maintaining law and order.
5tb, To constantly strive to se
cure entire harmony and good will
among all mankind and brotherly
love among ourselves.
6th, To sflppress personal, local,
sectional and national prejudices, all
unhealtbfal rivalry and selfish ambi
tion.
7th, The brightest jewels which it
garners are the tears of widows aid
orphans, and its imperative com
mands me to visit the homes where
lacerated hearts are bleeding; to ss
buage the sufferings of a brother or
sister, bury the dead, care for the
widows and educate the orphans; to
exercise charity Towards offenders,
to construe words and deeds in their
most favorable light, granting hones
ty of purpose and good intentions
to others; and to protect the princi
pies of the Alliance unto death.
Its laws are reason and equity, its
cardinal doctrines inspire purity of
thought and life; its intention is
peace and good will towards men.
The above are the defined princi
pies, the foundation on which The
Farmers Alliance and Co-operative
Union of America is built. The
farmer, the tenant (white), the me
chanica of all classes and country
physicians are subject. I herein ap
peal to the specified classes to arouse
from your lethargy and organize.
All professions are fully organized
and equipped for protection except
the farmer and laborer—the tiller of
the soil, the most important faction
of all classes. Where do you stand?
Here is refuge for you among your
brethren, The Farmers Alliance and
Co-operative Union. Come forth,
organize and assist in moving out of
the way the great wheel of oppres
sion. Last June, 18S7. the F. A’s.
were not known in Coweta: today
Coweta numbers one thousand influ
ential members and at every “call”
the members are swelling like a
mighty river. Spalding, Pike, Fay
ette, “twin sisters of Coweta,” fall in
line; drive out every opposition; come
out from under the yoke of bondage
and proclaim your freedom by uuit
ing with the true, pure, sound order,
The Farmers Alliance and Co-opera
