ON HAND-- nontlrr c hange liuv AT i^ZjXi TIMES AND AT has just given birth to such a nice new calf that 1 don’t want any higher esthetiesjust now. 1 don’t care anything special about the Greeks nnd the Romans, nor their heroes and temples, for they have all busted n long time ago, and to my opinion anything that busts is a sort of a humbug. Farmers don’t bust, nor hard work, nor raising children autl chickens, and I’m for omlng down to facts nnd business md hard pan. Them fellers in tho olden time got esthetic mid tried to build u tower to climb up to heaven, and the Almighty got mad witli ’em and confused ’em uiid Oscar Wilde will come to the same end. We have got to work for a living. 1 tell you, and We have got to work down here in the dirt and the mud, nnd liie women Imve got to suffer nnd hear children just like they did 0,000 years ago, aud there in tiic I is no dodging this sort of business, aiKM.t i iin< l "lien a man comes along to ' Win j talk about things in a higher plane and pretend hu can make angels of us uud lit us for heaven before we get there; I set him down as a fraud and a fool, and hu will he found us such in due time. it becomes a man to be cautious about running after new tilings, especially if lie is not atllictcd with surplus money, hilt the other day a friend Irom your town sent me a c ui of cookalinu, which he said he wanted Mrs. Arp to try as a substitute for lard. It was made out of cotton seed and looked as nice and pure as sweet oil, and 1 didn’t sec why it shoiildent he a good thing, for I knew that rich | folks used olive oil on their viltels ; at the north, and over in France, and 1 saw no reason why a good j oil shoiildent come from other veg- ' etablcs. The only diflleulty wns 'in getting Mrs. Arp to start out 1 fairly on the experiment, for you i see site lias opinions and convic- I tions of her own. .She don’t run on, hut there wasent enough suh-1 and so fourth. That is why Lam stance in them to make milk or i a democrat. We are going to have butter and that cotton blitter was a rousing old time ill Georgia this year, and we won’t mind seeing Dr. Felton pitted against Ren llill just for the fun of it and to sec tho fur lly. They both want oflice and they know how to 1111 it with abili ty. The doctor made n good rep resentative and Mr. Hill makes a good senator. We will never for get the grand defense he made for us about Andcrso’iville. and how he silenced Mr. Rlaine and spiked their guns, and we havo never Iicardanything oftlie Andcrsonvillu howl since. Now if lien will quit charging infamy on the indepen dents and the doctor will quit preaching corruption and rings on the democrats mid come hack and fall into line wc will nil get along iH’tter nnd the people will rejoice to do them honor. Now I see that Mr. Cox, of LaGrangc, says this movement springs from the pco* pie. That is an old song; Dr. Fel ton wore it out in our district. When n politician hankers after oflice lie trumps up somo excuse and lays it on tho people, when the truth is tho p-.ople care mighty little about him or the oflice. Tho people haven’t got time right now to lie springing anything except trying to pull through the winter mid lix up for planting, and if there m e any of ’em a springing new po litical movements I haven’t heard of ’em. Tho trouble is with these politicians, they attach too much importance to their own promo tion. Let ’em stand hack nnd wail modestly and maybe tho people will spring something after awhile. There are are bigger things tiian politics. Rir.r, Aw. IIIIviBH Of mill him rad l y II: now, lor she is a sensible woman. It's n great hlcssingand tiic beauty ol it is it comes from our siilu of tlie house. It's sorter like sugai. Them fellows up north can’t raise it, though they can reflne it and adulterate it hut they haven't found anything cheaper to mix witli cotton seed oil yet, aud may lie they won’t. The next tiling you hear of they will liuvc their little mills nil over this country squec/.lng the jiiicoout of otirsecd, nnd tho price will go up to 25 cents a bushel, and ull that will help uud make us better acquainted. When they come down bore they nil turn democrats, if they wasen’t before, for everybody wants to considered respectable, nnd tiic democrats down south arc the most respecta ble people. I mean what I say and menu no olfcnse, for I know some republicans who arc mighty nice people mid- clever nnd kind mid all that, miirthcy dident go to lie republicans. .Sonic of'em turn ed over after the war to save their property and some to get oflice, which was all right considerin’, and I think they were sort of a breakwater between us nnd our foes. Some Jew of ’em, like Joe Drown, knew when to flop back again, hut some dident, and they are there yet. I’ve got nothing agin em. Marcellus Thornton is u right clever limn, and if J wiis about to drown in a mill pond, I bail just ns leave depend on him to jump in anil pull me nut as any body. 1 don’t know of any great issues that are dividing us now Imt money nnd oflice and spoils, don’t. The finances arc settled and the parties arc split up among llicinscIvcH on the tanfl, which is to tny neither party has any plunk to stand on, mid if tho republic-ms would quit stealing nnd waiving tiic bloody shirt I wouldn’t cur<| anything about politics except for this, i want our hoys to liayo a showing. The democrats haven't had a eliancu to put a hand in tho public erili for twenty-five years, und I think tlint time about is fair play. I want a chance for our people to show them republicans llint wc can run the machine just ns well as they can,even if wc can't steal as much. Though I reckon Hint if there is anything loose a be ing around our folks will pick ty up. As to Ben Hill's big boom ubout the infamy of the Coalition, I con fess I can’t sec it. Forforty yenrs I have heard the same sort of taR| every two or four years, and I’ve got use to it. I’m too old u coon tc he fooled witli the like of that.
