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 cure in Dr. Tierce’s "Favorite Pre scriptioD,” Price reduced to one dol lar. By druggists. 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. ’TU Anl Wind That brings with it gusts of rain from the north-cast.

There »s ample proof on record particularly of its if effica used ey in this disease—more for its relief at the outset.

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.

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.
