Macon county ia agitating the question of a bridge across Flint river between Oglethorpe and Montezuma. Bro. Harp, of the EWaville Enter¬ prise, ought to attend the press con¬ vention.' The hoys will want some¬ thing to play on.—Montezuma Record. We’ll try to fee “da BreerCris and our best haf wid us, wish you coultl pay as much. In another column appears a com¬ munication from “Organized Dem¬ ocrat 11 in regard to the congression¬ al race. We are a stranger to both candidates and as yet must not be understood as favoring any candi¬ date. We will enquire earnestly for the truth, and when found will sus¬ tain it with all the energy of our naiure. During the Chatham Artillery centennial at Savannah on the 3d of May there will be twenty or thirty citizens to every soldier who will want somethig to eat and a place to sleep—some of them the represen¬ tative men of the state. If they have to endure the hardships ex¬ perienced during the Jasper centen¬ nial we advise them to stay home. The editor of this paper was there, and knows what lie is talking about. —Montezuma Record, We advise Bro. Christopher, if he wants to fare well on such occasions to take Mrs. (’., w ith him, provided he can get her. Judge Clark, on his way to Oxford court, was conveyed from his place through the country in a light hack ■ driven by a colored man. The driver drew the Judge into conversation, in which tiie latter got off a good jhing, so we are informed. The driver, not knowing the Judge in¬ quired: “Is you a drummer?” “Somewhat in that line,” replied his Honor. ‘,What is your line?” per¬ sisted the colored individual, “Drumming for the State penitenti- rry,” was the reply.—North Carolina Gold Leaf. pass This Around. Butter made in Georgia shipped to New York and sold! Hurrah for old Putnam! Many a dollar has gone out of our pockets to pay fur Yankee butter but now thanks to Mu.. Hunt’s Jersey’s, Eaton ton sells butter to New York City. Sometimc ago Mrs. 13. W. Hunt of this place started an experimen¬ tal dairy to see if perfect granulated Jersey nutter made in the most sci¬ entific and careful manner possible by the best continental methods would command r sale in Georgia. Meeting with wonderful success the butter selling readily in our lar¬ ger cities at iocts per lb., she begun supplying Northern people sojourn¬ ing fur the winter In Aiken, South Carolina. Once having tasked this dejicjoqs butter they now desire it shipped to New York City on their return to that place, thus giving Georgia-made butter the preference over that made at home. \Ve should state here that these are wealthy Northerners abundantly able to gratify every fancy and they order Mrs. Hunt’s Jersey butter shipped to New York because it is the very best money can buy. Tims fairly ap'd squarely has Georgia made but¬ ter whipped out Goshen on its own ground. Farewell old King Cotton. Farewell poverty and debt. Fare¬ well ojd native c© \ytt. Hurrah for the better tiiinex coining. Hurrah for rich pasture lands and Jersey cows. Hurrah fer Putnam, the Ijt-st county in Georgia to sell Geor¬ gia butter in New YY>rk City.—Ea- tonton Messenger. Mr. Editor: 1 think the above will be of some intereat to your read¬ ers. From this we infer thut if we want a first class article of butter and milk, we must first secure first class material fryq; which to manu¬ facture it. The common cows of this section have been neglected so long that we have ceased to take any pride in caring for them, and We congratulate oursglf that we flWti a lot of cows which are not w'.irth our attention but areable to take care of theins dves. We have been drinking the milk and eating the butter from tiie cows that we really do not gnow what real first- class milk and butter are. Now this should be so no iongef, for we cun raise as good milk and “butter here in Schley county as can T>e raised $uywhere if wo wi\\ only get some good cows and then prepare some good pasturage for them. RtapvvGully, £>. \\ . JiAigRY. H indu of I'mlli ami Sobtrnejis* The congressional election is proncliing. The papers are begin¬ ning to write, and the people speak about it. It behooves all good Democrats to study the tiou dispassionately. From 'Eastman limes, the podge ( | Journal, the Montgomery . on it 1111,1 the Sumter Republican and Montezuma Record, we see that trie lion. \\ alter T. McArthur, of Mont- gomery county has been put forward as a candidate for the nomination to congress. II« Is the united choice of the ...ter,, side of the Flint rlv- er. He is the choice of the good, true tuid tried Democracy „» that side, who for twenty years have submitted to the west occupying of- flee. They have spoken. They ask new now that that for for at at least least one one term term thev they may name the man. Rotation in office is a cardinal principle v of the Democratic ,, party. . , Kingdoms r , are perpetual republics alternate.Calm- ly and seriously, the east deserves the man. Let Schley, who God bless her is true generous and just always, concede this right, nay work for it, vote for it. Judge Crisp is a good man. He has made an average representa¬ tive. Mistakes he has made. But we will concede these are errors of the bead and not of the heart. In supporting McArthur we do not antagonize the Judge in his individ¬ ual capacity, but in support of a cordial Democratic principle. We are sorry to hear it whispered by a few good and upright people of Schley that while they admit the right of the other side to name the man, they have chosen one who is not worthy. This is probably unin¬ tentionally so, but it is ungenerous, unfare and without foundation. Mr. McArthur is a true, upright, pure gentleman. Any insinuations against his integrity are as un¬ worthy of those noble gentlemen who make them, as against the worthy, able and conscientious gen¬ tleman is misunderstood and mis¬ represented. The people of Schley will not be deterred from giving the Democracy justice because of nebu¬ lous charges made with no evidence to support it. Schley is too noble, too generous, two brave to do us that way. Let Schley stand firm to truth, to justice, to right, to rotation and send Mr. McArthur to congress. “Organized Democrat.” Newspapers and Towns. The Columbus Enquirer-Sun very truthfully remarks that “the ap¬ pearance and manner of conducting a newspaper often, like a mirror, reflects the character and enterprise of the people where it is published. Being considered as representing a community, the people should aid in making it a creditable one.” Al¬ though it is an individual enter¬ prise, the character of the work is a public one and demands recognition as such, although it too often fails to do so to the extent that it merits, There are many men in a town who are willing to reap the benefits which a live and well conducted newspaper gives to ff town, hut are unwilling to aid in the work to the extent that they should by giving it a substantial support in the way of patronage. They acknowledge the benefit of the paper, but when asked to advertise in it reply that their peculiar business does not need advertising,they are to well known, etc. Y’et these same people get a fair portion of the trade which the paper influences towards a town or prevents from going elsewhere, and are among the first to proffer advice as to how the paper should be con¬ ducted. The newspaper publisher as a business man is at a disadvantge in the fact that he is compelled too often to keep inadvanteof the town, to make pecuniary advances and re- ly upon the future for repayment. Whether times be good or times be dull, his expenses must go on, for will not do for him to lower the standard of his paper. If he Is pub¬ lishing a daily, he cannot reduce ex¬ penses by making it a weekly dur¬ ing a dull season. There is no turn¬ ing back for him. The merchant may reduce his stock and his force of clerks and adapt himself to the times, but the newspapei publisher cannot thus reduce his force and expenses. Were he to do so the very lirat to complain wxiuld be those who share (n the benefit of his labors and do not even subscribe for his paper. We do not make these remarks in a spirit of complaint, for we em¬ barked in the business witli a full knowledge of its hardships and risks; but we make them jq the hope that a tew fair minded but thoughtless men may see their duty in tiie matter and extend to tiie pa¬ pers of their towns thp, patronage they deserve and thereby aid the papers to still further aid the towns and counties in which they are pub- | lished. ^Yo see from the Telegraph that iMatuU ls to have an ^tv-biR well, Ifthis drilling continues much long- er , n 4his 8ection of the Slate th( . i Chinese will think we are making a Be i ve 0 f uiotber eurth, : California fruit growers are talk¬ ing of banana culture as a matter of experiment. ^ whale captured at National city, Cal., a short time ago yielded | 4000 in oi i AIU i bone.

A SAVING oi FIFTY par cent, and an INCREASE in security of ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY per eent.'s effected by tak¬ ing a policy in the Fidelity Mutnal Life SssociaLisn, OF PHILADELPHIA, in place of a policy on the old level premium system. Twelve millions of insurance; Five thousand members; Eight years’ experience; Guaranteed and incontestable policies; Cash assets and indemnity reserve of $250,000; Expenses limited by contract ; Mor¬ tality funds handled exclusively by Trust Co.; Four fixed payments a year—one for expenses and three for mortality; The lowest death rate of any Life Company in America; Cash surrender values or policies rendered self-sustaining at end of life expectation; Saving of 50 per cent in cost of insurance and abso¬ lute security, are points to which we call special attention. The business of the Fidelty is twice as much as it wna in 1884. and the death rate is not any larger now, in proportion to the amount tit risk,than it was five years ago. Ex-Governor Hartrant, of Pennsy vania, is organ¬ izing a Mutual Company in Phila- delaphia, and is consulting I,.
