The Stab is the only New York newspaper possessing the fullest confidence of the Na¬ tional Administration and the United Dem¬ ocracy of New York, the p ditical battle ground of the Republic, Jeffersonian Domociacy, pure and simple, is good enough for the Stab. Single hand¬ ed among the metropolitan press, it has stood by the men called by the great Democ¬ racy to redeem the government from twenty-five years of Republican wastefulness and corruption and despotism to the South. For these four years past ithasbeenunswerv ing in its fidelity the administration of Grov¬ er Cleveland. It is for him *now —for Cleve¬ land and Thurman—for four years more of Democratic honesty in our fhitional atlairs, and of continued national tranqnility and prosperity. For people who like that sort of Democracy the Stab is the paper to read. The Stab stands squareiy on the National Democratic platform. It believes that any tribute exacted from the people in excess of the demands of a government economically administered is essentially oppressive and dishonest. The scheme fostered and cham¬ pioned by the Republican part-of making the government a miser, wringing millions an nually from the people and lockin g them up in vaults to serve no purpose but invite waste fulness and dishonesty, it regards as a mon¬ strous crime ugainst the right of American citizenship. Republican political jugglers may call it ‘protective taxation;” the Stab’s name for it is robbery. Through and through the Stab is a great newspaper. Its tone is i urc and wholesome, its news' service unexceptionable. Each issue presents an epitome of what is best worth knowing of the world’s history of yesterday. Its stories are told in good, quick, pictur- eque Edglish, and mighty interesting read¬ ing they are. The Sunday St/u is as good as the best class magazine, and prints about the same amount of matter. Besides the dayls news it is rich in spesial descriptive articles, sto ries, snatches of current literature, reviews, art criticism, etc. Burdette’s inimatible hu¬ mor sparkles,• in its columns; Will Carleton’s delightful letters are of its choice offerings. Many of the best known men and women in literature and art are represented in its col umns, The Weekly Star is a large paper giving the cream of the news the w if Id over, with special features which make it the most complete family newspaper published. The farmer, the mechanic, the business man too much occupied to read a daily paper, will get more for .his dollar invested in The Weekly Stab than from any other paper It will be especially aiert during the cam paign, and will print tiie freshest and most reliable political news.

Cheering News from Among the ONI Clay Hills. It is certainly yery gratifying to every one to behold the fine pros pects we have in this county for good crops of every kind. The rains so far this season have been exoep tionally fine for all field crops, and the result is the corn and cotton crops in this section are as fine as the lands will produce. If no unforeseen ca lamity befalls them, these crops will be the largest and best made in Spalding connty for many years. The present outlook for a good business this fall bas never been more flattering at this season, and if the rains continue for the next few Weeks ns they have in tbe past, we can see no good reason why onr highest hopes in this particular may not be fully realized. A full and abundant crop in this section is greatly needed, and we trust the highest hopes of our peo plo may be fully realized in the pres ont growing crops.
