I respectfully for the announce office of iny sheriff name us of •aniliiiute the ensuing election in Schley county at L. A.Oii.ks. January next. Plain (oilon. Farmers sow oats; sow lots “ov um. Sow rye for your calves and pigs. Raise your meat and bread at home. Farmers of Schley county, call a meeting at the courthouse and sec how many are going to plant larger crops of cotton than ever next year. It is certainly important that you see who can give the most and strongest mortgages for meat, corn, and guano. Try the long loans and banks again next year. You have done remarkably well this year—remark¬ ably well for the banks and loan associations; also the provision dealers. But the newspaper man, the preacher, school teacher, black* smith, doctor, etc., are left out, MANY OF YOU ARE LEVIED >N, we mean your stock, and are sold— we mean your stock, corn, fodder, cows, hogs, sheep, goats, pigs, chick¬ ens, etc. “I want your paper,” they say to us, “but am too poor to take it now.” Wonder how many of them are borrowing thei’ neigh¬ bor’s paper and are thus getting milk and butter without paying for it and without buying the cow. We offer a premium oI 25 cents for any man that was once a subscriber to this paper and quit because he was too poor to take it and who never sees nor desires to see one of the papers. We guarantee that tiie first man who speaks belongs to the bank, provision and guano dealer, if they see proper to recognize him. Oh, yes! Double your crops cotton next year; this newspaper ni in don’t know what he is about; he is just after BIG LIES TO FILL HIS PAI'ER. You know some of us are about old as he is and have managed get along somehow. This man’s opinion is not worth much, is true; but he has one ail the and he can speak it. May be one course it won’t be a man) may profit by it. Look in every direction and see the boundless prosperity, all owing to the large crops of cotton and re¬ munerative prices. See the ease and comfort, and how smoothly everything goes on. No levying and selling, no one owes any one, nothing to mar the peace and pros¬ perity apparent in every direction in this grand country of ours, Riant cotton, plant cotton; oh, yes, plant cotton. Stir soon, stir late; and while you are planting cotton remember to plant mortgage*, bank notes, waive notes, and be sure to plant enough to do you and quit raising provisions! (Ur«rgiH neiliodisl Conferences. The North Georgia Conference convened in Augusta on yesterday B'shop H. N. McTyeire presiding. This is a fine body of men contain¬ ing many good preachers. The South Georgia (Conference will convene in Outhbert December B, Bishop E. R. Hendrix will pre side. He is one of the four new bishops elected by the general con¬ ference assembled in Richmond Igst May. He accompanied the late Bishop Marvin on his trip Around the world in the year 1876 Milling nf the Hill Brothers* This sad affair occurred in Atlan- ta last w eek. Tw o promising, intel- igent, bright young men, with a bright future one day and ere the light of the next day lit up a busy earth, these young men, those love, ly, promising brothers, had entered their laet sleep, and what renders the scene doubly sad and heartrend¬ ing they were brothers, and still worse they died by their own hands or one killed his brother and then jdlied himself. What is the anguish of the fond parents! Where can they ever expect consolation on this earth, How dark the clouds of bitter sorrow and deep and last¬ ing anguish. What was the of all this world of grief that will doubtless bring the parents of promising sons, in sorrow to grave. If we mistake not, they were the only children. What is the sympathy of friends to Hie deep- ,v smitten parents but a fresh open- Y In* of ,,, thewound, , that ,. , w , „„ close their eyes and cease their breathing and they be laid by the side of their boys who sleep in the same grave, Again the question js asked what was the cause of tlje rash aflsj ? Liqu»r, It has destroyed more lives and caused more sorrow than wars, famine and pestilence. In this free country men advocate the eur.e and cultivate the assm la ion o u worst enemy on the face of the earth. Young man, is it worth while to raise the warning voice in the face of such scenes as these? Young men, young men, Lest a like fate you may share; You may now shudder at the thought, Yet Satan knows that you are easy bought. Step by step, dear friends, you on ward go, At last you sink down to immortal woe; Remember now, remember today You have not long on earth to stay ; Fly from tiie dreadful poisoning destroyer, Fly, young man, from the sweet de- coyer. He tells you it is no harm to take a drink, And thus each day and hour you sink, Sink down to an awful doom Where reigns forever the darkest gloom. Young men, today the fetter break, Tiie tempter from your proud form shake, Be firm, be noble, be good and true ? That when you are dead it may lie said of you: A good man from theearth hasgoue away, Fore . tr gone to Heaven to stay. The farmers' Mr. Editor— I was with the Farmers’ Relief Association of Schley County on last Saturday night. They met in the academy at Concord church. Robert Patton, their president, was in the chair. I was pleased to see tiie old, middle aged and young men taking an in¬ terest in this association. Their constitution and by-laws, having been published in your paper, are already before the public. I was glad when I left there, Mr. Editor, that I went. I came away feeling that if the principles declared in their constitution and by-laws are adhered to Schley county w ill be benefited. They propose to do justice to all classes. The laborer is not to be oppressed or defrauded in any way. Then he is expected to do rignt himself. Two weeks from their last meet¬ ing they are to discuss the question: “Has the use of guano benefited tiie farmer?” There was present a visitor from the western portion of this county, and one from Macon county. May this move to Increase the in¬ terest in agriculture be abundantly successful! J. T. L. Oenlli ol Judge WtilU A. ■law bias. Judge Hawkins died at his resi¬ dence in Americus Sunday even¬ ing at 3 o’clock. In honor to the departed the business houses sus¬ pended and paid the last sad rites to his memory on Monday. We get t ie following from the Recorder: “He was born in Madison, Mor¬ gan county, Georgia, January 1825. A poor boy, lie made his own and was ted to the bar at the early age of lit by an act of the legislature, this be¬ ing necessary on account of his age. He moved to this country in 1845, settling at HtarksvHle, Lee county, where he began the practice of his profession and married his first wife. Miss Smith, by whom lie had one child, Eugene, who has been for several years his father’s part¬ ner. His first wife haying died, lie removed to Americus in 1847, and continued to make this city his res¬ idence. Shortly after his removal here he married Miss Mary Finn, by whom he had six children, five of whom are living. His second wife died several years ago, “When the late war broke out he entered into it at its very beginning as captain of the MuckaL-e and was soon promoted to tiie rank of colonel. He served until the «i)d of the war, when he returned to Americus and resumed the prac¬ tice of law in partnership with IT. K. McKay, late judge of the United Statesdistsici e mrt. Judge McKay esteemed Col. Hawkins as the best lawyer in Georgia, and bis opinion was shared by many members of the bar throughout the state. He was a candidate for office but once in his life, at which time he opposed Hon. Martin J. Crawford for congress,and was by him defeat¬ ed by purely party strength, In 1880 he was appointed by governor as judge of the supreme court, which position he filled about six months,” LUMBER!!

New lock's Guilty Aldermen. Among the notable cases of tin- country that began two years ago, and now drawing tw a close, against tiie New York aldermen stands prominent. These aldermen, it will lie remembered, granted to Ja¬ cob Sharpe and his company tiie franchise fur a railway on Broadway From the confessions of several of these men who turned informers, and from corroborating testimony there seems to be no doubt about their corruption, and they have been justly stigmali/.ed as the “hoo¬ die gang.” They used their office to rob the people, and enrich them¬ selves, relying upon tiie corrupting power of money and patronage and vicious politics to condom their in¬ famy, hut swift justice lias overta¬ ken them and those who have not lied tiie countiy will surely meet tiie telon’s tale.

This case, too, illustrates the power of the press, for it is conceded that without i's aid and co-opera- tion these corrupt officials, eti- trenched as they were in authority and gold, would have gone Utl- whipped of Justice. A vigilant and free press, pure and unpurchasable, is not only the best safeguard of public liberty, but no less effectually concerns public virtue.
