GRIFFIN GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 10 1888
A Western Postmaster.
A roan came out a little ranch in
Southwestern Wyoming as we were
going past and said:
“Prob’Iy you folks wouldn’t be
coming back this way?”
“No, wo don’t expect to.”
“I reckoned not. If you was 1
calkiiated to send down to the post
effice for my mail.”
“Haveu’t you had it lately?”
“Not for about two weeks. The
fact is, I dasu’t go down after'it.”
“What are you afraid of ?”
“Frade o’ the dogged postmaster,
of course. We had some trouble
bout some stock, an’ he ’lows he’ll
blow the top uiy head off the first
time I stick it up in front ’o the
gen'ral deliv’ry, an’ he’d be might
apt to do it, too.”
“Why don’t you report him to the
department?”
“Oh, that’s all r : ghl; he’s got the
inside track on me now, an’ I’m willin'
he should step high if he wants to.
Jes’you wait, though; I’ve sent in
an application for the office myself
chargin’ him with bein’ one of these
’ere offensive partisans, an’ when I
git it I’m going to move it up here,
wad my shotgun with the first letter
that comes to him, an’when his friends
come to git him the first time he tries
to draw mail out o’ my office they’ll
think some railroad company’s been
takin’ him for a big mountain an
runnin’ a tunnel plumb through him!
Jes’ you let him keep right on walk
in’ ’round with his bead up’n the air
if he wants to; the time is cornin’
very soon when that office will be
managed by a man that can pound
stamps with one hand and keep the
gen’rai deliv’ry covered with a six
•hooter with the other jes’ as .veil as
he can!”

OUR CONGRESSMAN.
HIS NEW BILLS AND WHAT IS SAID
OF THEH.
Seeking to Believe Farmers aud Others
From the Effects of Evil
Laws,
Special to the News.
Washington, Jan. 9.— A groat deal
is said about the necessity of keeping
old and experienced members in Con
gress, and the representative from
your district, Hon. John D. Stewart,
is watched the more closely because
of his having succeeded a gentleman
of such recognized ability and expe
rience as Hon. N. J. Hammomj.
But here, as is said to be the case at
his home, the better Judge Stewart
is known—and he is a gentleman dem
ocratic in bis ways and easy of ac
cess—the more liking and respect is
had for him. And an examination
of his course tends to the belief that
possibly a new member may make
up iu a more immediate knowledge
of the wants of his people and a more
determined effort to supply them,
for that experience and long service
which inevitably tends toward sel
fishness and carelessness. A new
broom sweeps clean, is a saying
which originated in derision; but
what housekeeper does not want a
new broom and a consequent clean
sweep occasionally? Anyhow, Cob
Stewart is making a good impression
hete as an active and judicious mem
ber, and the new bills which he has
prepared are attracting more atten
tion than those of the majority of
congressmen; and better than all,
with that attention comes universal
ly favorable comment.
Mis bill allowing national banks to
loan money on real estate, which
they are now prohibited from doing,
has already been fully mentioned, I
believe, in your columns, and is a
matter of relief toward that most op
pressed of all classes, the Southern
farmer, and next to him the Western
farmer, which should receive the
early attention of congress and the
active support of Southern and West
ern congressmen.
Judge Stewart is a strong and out
spoken revenue reformer, the News
voicing his sentiments and not that
prodigy of inconsistency, the Atlanta
Constitution, which so arrogantly,
and often so mistakenly, affects to
control the fifth district of Georgia.
Bat like all Southern congressmen,
he is alive to the defects aDd cruel
ties of the internal revenue laws and
desires to see the objectionable fea
tures expurgated. Today he intro
duced a bill in this line which may
be thus briefly stated: It requires
the Circuit Court to appoint one
United States commisioner in each
county, and will prohibit arrests
without warrant for violations, or al
leged violations, of the internal reve
nue laws by marshals,. deputies or
others, except in cases where persons
are caught in the act or while en
deavoriug to escape. The destruc
tion or mutilation of stills is strictly
prohibited under penalty. All war
rants must be returned before the
commissioner, and where, for any
cause, there is no commissioner in
the county, then before a commis
sioner in the adjoining county. Pen
alty for violations by seizing officers
of either of these provisions, is fixed
at not less than one hundred dollars
nor more than five hundred dollars.
Judge Stewart says he “would pray
with ’em all night,’’ before he would
consent to tbe passage of a bill which
professed to relieve tbe burdens of
the people and was a living mockery
of their hopes.
Judge Stewart’s Southern prison
bill has cost him great labor. He
has submitted it for inspection and
suggestions to the Attorney General
and it may undergo some slight
changes before it is introduced.
Judge Stewart has struck bis forte
in being placed upon tbe judiciary
committee. Of this committee the
correspondent of the Louisville Cou
rier Journal says-. ‘*It is composed
of the best legal talent in (be House.
Judge Culberson, chairman of the
committee, is regarded by those who
know him best as possessing one of
tbe best judicial minds of any mem
ber of tbe body. Tbe new members
of the committee, Glover, of Missou
ri, Henderson, of North Carolina,
Buckalew, of Pennsylvania, Stewart,
of Georgia, Caswell, of Wisconsin,
Adams, of Illinois, Faller, of Iowa,
?re all strong men and able lawyers."
With my personal acquaintance with
Judge Stewart, I predict that his
suggestions in this committee will
prove invaluable, since bis judicial
mind and knowledge of the law will
lend them great weight.
Rheumatism is caused by lactic acid iu the
blood,which Hood’s Sarsaparilla neutralize*
and thus cures rheumatism. (9)
Reading Advertisement!.
Do you eyer read newspaper ad¬
vertisements?
An advertisement ef tbe present
day, as a rule, is a model of clears
ness, precision and compactness.
In fact, quite a degree of pleasure
can be derived from the perusal of it,
aside from the important informa¬
tion which it oftimes couveys.
In ingenuity, the modern adver>
tisement is remarkable; in fact, it is
frequently a work of art, both in a
Kterary and typographical sense.
The aim of the advertisers in many
cases seems to be to draw the atten¬
tion of the reader from the fact that
it is an advertisement. While not
taking rank ataong wbat may be
termed literary productions, it pos¬
sesses many of their brightest fea¬
tures. In the hands of a master
workmen, bo be advertiser, writer or
compositor, the matter becomes at
tractive to the most casual reader.
The latter’s attention is drawn toward
it, and his interest in it aroused be
fore he is fully aware of the fact.
The old style of merely puffing
one’s merchandise has passed ont of
date. The reading and purchasing
public of to-day demand something
stronger and better. That this want
is recognized and appreciated by the
keen advertiser and equally alert
public is apparent to almost every
one Tt e fact is, advertising has be
come such an integral part ol modern
business that it is almost impossible
to carry on any kind of trade or traf
fic without its aid. It is well known
that many concerns pay large salaries
to skilled writers whose only employ
mentis tbe invention and the fram
ing of attractive and telling adrsr
tisements.
Thousands of dollars are ar nually
expended simply in putiug tbe mat
ter in shape, and many millious more
for its publication in the press.
The firm who can express in clear,
strong and econcise language, set in
attractive form of display, just what it
has to offer, at once attracts tke mer
chant as well as the consumer.
No merchant can now wholly de
pend for business upon the fact of
bis being well known to the trade.
No matter how many years he may
have been established, or how l imit
iar bis name is to the purchasing pub
lie, or how celebrated bis wares are,
if he does not advertise and keep do
ing so in s<-rne way, buyers a::., con
susners will in time ignore him and
visit and tr l ie with the competitor
who sounds his trumpet upon on all
occasions to the extent of thousandsof
dollars a year, and pays the same
without murmur because it pays him
to do so.—[Dry Goods Review.

“Sweet is revenge especially to

The Dime Craze.
A new craze which is said to be
exceedingly popular among North
erners at this time, is that of saving
up every dime which may come to
band iu change. The Northern peo
pie have long had tbe habit—and a
very good one it is—of saving up
their coppers and nickles and dimes,
and, doubtless, many of them are in
debted to it for their wealth, for
there is much truth in the old
Scotch saying, “Take care of the
mickle, and the mukcle will take care
of itself.**
A gentleman who tried the new
craze relates his experience with its
workings. When he concluded iO
give it a trial he had in his pockot
four silver dollors and a 25c. piece.
With the 25c. he paid for a morning
paper, getting in change two dimes,
which he put in bis vest pocket for
safe keeping. At noon he bought a
30c. lunch ahd received in change a
50c. piece and two dimes. Then, as
was his enstom, he indulged in a
nickle cigar, handing over tbe 50c
and receiving back 25c. and two
dimes. Here were six dimes, or G0c..
to go into bis savings bank at home,
and by the purchaee of another cigar
two more went in bis vest pocket be
fore night. He had spent 45c. dur
ing the day and laid by 80c. He be
gan tbe habit because it was the rnl
iDg craze, but the dimes piled up so
fast that it became fascinating, and
now be describes himself as being a
“miser with dimes.“
The dime craze is tbe most sensi
bio one that has been started in
many years. It is traveling South
ward, and when it reaches this sec
tion it ought to be welcomed and
made popular.
