A Proposed Excursion of Five Hun¬
dred Boston Capitalist*.
Our readers may have noticed
something in the papers about the
contemplated visit of President W
P. Rice, of the Kansas City Union In¬
vestment Company, to Macon and
otherjioints, Boston at a near date, with
five hundred capitalists to
make investments in this State. It
might be well for some of our leading
citizens and officials to correspond correspond
with Mr. Rice and invite him aud his
friends to spend a few hours in Griffin.
There is no more promising point for
investment and none whose advan¬
tages can be more dearly shown if
the opportunity is offered.
The following telegram to the Chat¬
tanooga News may be of intereset:
Fort Payne, Ala., May 1.—The
First National Bank of Fort Payne
of was $50,000. organized The today with a capital
elected: W. P. following Rice, president; officers,
were
A. W. Train, vice-president; G:E. La-
throp, Train, E. cashier. B. Cook, Directors, J. J. A. W.
Lathrop W. P. Brown, G. E.
and Rice. They will
commence business at once. Mr. W.
P. Rice has gone East, whereon the
8th of May, in Boston, he will be
given a banquet by Boston’s great-
ing capitalists.
Smith’s Wife.
When tie day Is o’er, and theeveningi* come,
The cattle are led, the milking done,
Smith take* his rest ’neaththeoM shade tree,
Fromjthe labor of the land his thoughts are free
But hie faithful wife, from sun to sun,
Takes her burden up that’s never done;
There is no rest, there is no play,
For the good of the house she must work al-
way.
And in the end this faithful, over¬
tasked woman will break down be¬
neath her never ending round of work;
and as she lies upon her conch of pain,
8mith will have ample time to be¬
moan the selfish economy which clos¬
ed his purse-strings when his patient
wife gently hinted that her failing
health required atonic. Why Was he
ite so short-sighted Prescription ? Dr. Pierce’s Favor¬
would have given her
a new lease of life, and brought the
blush of girlhood to her cheeks again.
It is the only remedy for overworked,
“worn-out,” and feeble women gener-
erally. positive Sold by all druggists, under

The Devil Did It.
As Col. A. B. Fitts, the editor oi
the Carrollton Times, was passing
through the other day, on his way
home from MMledgeville, where he
had been assisting to|carry a lunatic,
he was much amused to see the an¬
nouncement in the Constitution that
he was himself the lunatic. He
laughed heartily at the joke, and
nailed the attention of others to it;
but by and jby his countenance as¬
sumed a more serious appearance, as
he thought of the wide circulation of
the Atlanta paper. Then he won¬
dered what his brother down in La-
Grange would think about it when he
read it. As people at the stations
along the Carrollton road expressed
their surprise at his early return, and
his friends explained that it was only
because there was no room in the
asylum at present, he began to get
mad. He said that somebody who
had a spite against him had put up
a job on him, and he tried to think
who his enemy could be. By the
time he reached Carrollton, the able
editor was about 110 in the shade.
Arriving at his office, he found that
it was the devil who had thus played
the devil with him in his absence. So
he proceeded to give the devil Fitts,
and the “hell box” was scattered all
over the composing room before
peace ensued.
But we still stick to our first affida¬
vit that a man must be of unsound
mend who will run a paper in Car-
roBton. As Carroll county furnishes
about half the inmates of the
the question is whether it is not the
reading of Fitts’ editorials that

out with Fitch, Mr. Alexander start¬

two years, when he discontinued it
and in 1876 bought an interest in

Niles as an equal partner. In 1880
or 1881 he sold out to Mr. Niles and
moved to Barnesville, wherelie start¬
ed the Pike County News and run it
a couple years. He then moved back
to Thomaston, bought out the Mid¬
dle Georgia Times, rechristened it
the Thomaston Times and run it un¬
til 1885, when he was appointed
postmaster at Thomaston, an office
which he was holding at the time of
his death. He married his second
wife, Mias Lizzie Cauthorn, of Thom¬
aston, while practicing law first in
that place, and leaves a widow and a
seventeen year old daughter by her.
He had two daughters by his first wife,
who married in Henry County, one a

Succeeded ural ability or much education, he
by great energy and un¬

and there are many in this section

him. As one of the early proprietors
of the News, we utter a prayer of
peace over his ashes and wish him
that eternal happinness and rest
which none deserve more than news¬
