Who Pises Their Reliance on Them
selves. ,
The Grifllu Morning Call pub
lishes an interesting article in ref
erence to the Alliance of that sec
tion.
The Call says it was visited by a
gentleman who for years has been
in business in Griffin and kept
books for several leading firms
whose dealings were mainly with
farmers who run annual accounts,
and is well posted with tho manner
in which obligations are met here,
and made some flattering declara
tions as to the prosperity of the ag
riculturists of this section of the
State.
Said he: “J have been in busi
ness the present season in South
west Georgia, buying cottou, and I
can truly say the farmers, as a
class, will bear no comparison with
Spalding county, in point of pro
gress, enterprise and the intelligent
development of resources. In
many counties I have visited, a
majority of the farmers are so
heavily involved, fluancialiy, that
their energies are paralyzed, and
they see no hope of relief.”
“Give us your opinion as to the
enuseofthis difference of farmers
in such close proximity,” said a
Call reporter.
“This section,” said he, “is re
garded as the hub of the alliance,
in point of enterprise and business
tact, of the state. Here in Spald
ing county they practice and teach
economy and industry; have a di
versity of corps; are more interest
ed in politics; they read and think
more, and are more willing to ex-
Uuito an Addition.
Mr. Cba*. M. Tyson, of Darien,
has moved to Americus, and will
practice law. He is au ex-legisla
tor of McIntosh county, and one
of the most prominent lawyers of
that section. He is gladly wel
comed here,|and will doubtless meet
that great success which his talents
call for.
A CmupUmentarj Gorman.
Last night the Hawkins House
was the scene of a most pleasant
occasion. It was a dance given
complimentary to the Misses Al
corn and Miss Forsythe, who have
been visiting in our elty. This was
their last night here, as they leave
to-day, and the German was
slight token of the appreciation
which the yoi.'ug men have of their
presence.
All en joyed the evening to a won
derful extent, and regret that this
was the last the young ladles to
whom It was given could attend for
a longtime. No more charming
youngladle* than these ever visit
od our city.
