SCHLEY COUNTY NEWS.
At an alliance meeting in Harris coun
ty a few days since, speeches were made
relative to the nagging trusts and the
farmers resolved not to use any jute
bagging even if it was given to them.
They say that jute bagging is dead in
that county.
A Columbus business man advertises
for “a young man to collect and clerk in
store—one who does not smoke cigar
ettes.” This advertisement should teach
boys who have to work for a living a
lesson. No business man likes to see his
young clerks puffing away at the deadly
cigarette.—Enquirer-Sun.
Ellaville is the prettiest place in the
world for a little city, all we need to
make it one is more push and energy, a
big hotel would bring morj visitors here
than it could accomodate and the pres
ent hotels would get more patronage
than thej do new, we would need an ar
tesian well to water them and a bank to
accomodate them.
When the w-eeds of envy and the bri
ars of jealousy take root in the heart, al]
the sweet and tender flowers of courtesy
and kindness which once bloomed and
blossomed there, are choked up ,ki lied out
and the bosom becomes the loathsome
den of the meanest thoughts and vilest
emotions that ever blackened human
character,—Su nbeams.
One day last week Mr. Tigjner McCorkle
found that his corn fields on Buck
creek were being ravaged by wild hogs,
calling in some of his neighbors and a
pack of dogs he started up a big fellow
and had an exciting race for about four
hours. The dogs finally succeeded in
catching the hog and the hunters got
him home alive but he died that night
from the effects of the long hot race.
The East bound day train came near
having an accident Tuesday at Putnam.
It seems that the cow catcher was brok
en and a piece of it caught in the switch
stopping almost instanly, throwing
the engineer out of reach of his lever.
As soon as the fireman felt the jar, he
juxnpped off, unhurt. If the engine had
gone a few feet farther considerable dam
age might have been done.
Mr. W. W. Rogers informs us that an
aligator five feet long, was captured yes
terday’ near the residence of Mr. Coswell
in the neighborhood of Fellowship churh.
He was discovered by some darkiess who
were going along the public road. When
they attempted to kill him, he jumped
eight or ten feet at them. This is the
finest gaitor that has been seen in Schley
county in some time.
George Washington Vanderbilt am it
a fact dat you is been kotehed a steal in
Mr. Burton’s watermiliions?
No farder it am not de fact I wus not
kotehed. D y cant prove it on me, l^ut

Come into my arms George W ashing

ty dan ter disonner yer poor old farder

Lands are becoming more valuable
everv day and the carelessness now
displayed in describing lands and record
ing deeds and plats will cause
Schley county to wake up some beauti
ful mornings in a sea of litigation. It is
all right now so long as no contest is
made but as real esta te becomes more in
deman d. values are enhanced and the
strict busine8s principles of the live
lin . r vanke e pushes its influence into
"
county which will come sooner or
later, then look out for squalls.
W. C. Carter, who lives in the upper
portion Oconee county, says he has a
peach tree that alternates—One year clear
stone and next cling. He says lie has
an apple tree that has a large fork four
feet from the ground, one fork bearing
streaked apples and the other yellowish
green, Spnrta Ishmaelite.—That is not
hard to believe, one of our Schley county
farmers has a ’sinimon tree that bore
gourds last year, cow peas the year before
and if it does well this year, it will not
surprise us to hear that he has gathered
a crop of walnuts.
The following, clipped from the Alli
ance, is worth the perusal of our farmers.
Plant grass grow grass, save grass, is
the motto of the successful farmer of
to-day. Don’t be afraid you will get too
much forage on hand. You never saw
a farmer in this county who had more
hay or fodder than he could sell. You
never saw a horse, cow or ox that com
plained that his masters crop pf grass
was too great, but you have seen thous
ands of horses ami cattle whose yearn
ing was a protest against the manner in
which his master allowed good grass to
grow, ripen and die uncut.
, Andrew Chapel Clippings.
Monday Aug. 12th 1889.
A good many from this neigborhood
attended services at Shiloh last Sunday,
Our farmers are all about through pull
ing fodder; some however, have left
good deal in the field after gathering
plenty to do them.
Cotton picking is the order of the day
and with the present railroad facilities,
opening up our section to the best cot
ton markets in Georgia, we think that
Ellaville will offer every inducement
possible, and can safely count on what
justly belongs to her.
Our Alliance has received a shipment
of cotton bagging containing twent four
hundred yards, and will order more as
soon as the factories can make it.
What is our county doing. Let us hear
from our alliance brethren from all parts
of the county through the columns of
the News, in order that we may work
harmoniously in this great effort of ours
to aid each other, and the day is not far
distant when every enterprising, ener
getic farmer can till the soil ‘Under his
own vine and fig tree,” and take his
noon-day naps resting his head on the
pillow of peace and prosperity.
The peach crop was never more abun
dant; even the hogs have gotten to be
very choice in their selections.
We are all rejoicing over the large
yield of corn already made and the
bright prospect of an abundant harvest
of cotton and I think we ought all, in
one united voice, send up praises of
thankfulness to the Giver of all good.
Professor Cheek of Andersonville is
in the community this week* making up
a ten days singing school, to commence
Thursday the loth.
At our public gatherings we hear
many complimentary remarks about the
News, and as soon as cotton is sold,
your circulation will no doubt be ex
tended to every reading home in Schley
county.
Mr. Newton Glover has five hogs he
expects to make weigh fifteen hundred
pounds by killing season:—So much for
stock law.
One of the Shiloh young men thinks
Andrew Chapel is all of a mile nearer
him than it use-to-be, and still getting
closer.—Accustomed to the road.
With best wishes for the News, I am
yours very truly, Farmer.

The old rusty pistol, lying around
loosely, still gets in its deadly work
and will keep it up until all the “thought
it wasn't loaded” fools die out or are
sent to the penetentiary. In Columbus
a few days since Willis Walton, colored
picked up an old pistol lying on a bureau
ami “just for fun” snapped it at Tom,
his little brother, to his surprise the
weapon discharged and killed Tom as
dead as Julius Caesar, unfortunately
there is no law to punish Willis, and it
is hardly reasonable to suppose that a
fool with no bfcjler sense than to snap
a gun at any one “for fun” would have
conscience enough to chide him,

Here is another man with a progress
peach tree. The Amerieus Recorder
Judge A. S. Giles of Perry, has a
orchard of very choice fruit on
residence lot there. He says there
a peach tree in that orchard that has
borne clingstone peaches of
excellent flavor and fair size. This
year that tree is lull of fine clear-stone
pea: hes. He claims this to be an entire
ly new variety, and has named it the
‘Darwin” peach. It is a seedling, and
the peach from which the seed came,
on a grafted tree. You see this
tree first reproduces from the stock and
then from the graft—that’s the theory.
There is also a LeCont pear tree in Judge
Giles’ orchard which, it is estimated,
contains twenty bushels of fruit.
The Middle Georgia Progress is about
three thirds correct when it says that if
the Farmers’ Alliance could have the
exemption laws on Georgia Statute
books repealed, they would in doing so
accomplish a grand work and one which
would.be of great benefit to the farmers.
When every-thing a man possesses is
made subject to Ins debts, then can mon
ey be had at a small rate of interest and
goods bought at lower prices. Stringent
collection laws seldom hurt honest men
exemption laws seldom benefit an honest
debtor.
Many of our good citizens went to
Amerieus yesterday to attend the sol
diers reunion, among whom was our
friend Eli Stewart. He is yet lively and
active, and in the army he used to
amuse the boys, jumping and turning
summersaults, and was the swiftest run
ner in the brigade, and was always
ready to run after the blue coats, and
on one or two occasions, when it was
better service to his country, he left the
Yankees far in the rear; but on the
whole a better soldier was not known.
Veteran.
An exchange says: The man who
pays 20 per cent, for money is a candi
date for misfortune, and liable to be
elected by overwhelming majoiity. If
he doesn't interview the sheriff it will be
because he has skipped out to Mexico.
No man can fall into the habit of paying
even ten per cent, without seriously im
pairing his constitution. Interest and
sandspur grass grow while you are asleep,
and all during rainy days when you can
not work. It will be to your interest
yourself in pulling fodder, or planting
potatoes.
The only Georgian who turns up in
our Patent office reports this week, is F.
W. Flint of Mount Airy. He gets a pat
ent on an “electric drinking vessel,” It
occurs to us that there is electric shocks
enough in the old fashioned black bottle
and if Mr. Flint has invented a drinking
vessel with more forked lightning in it
than that, he ought to be suppressed.

It relieves the little sufferer at once; it produc
