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 I got de millions. Dars two on em under de bed. Come into my arms George W ashing ton Vanderbilt! I would rudder habyou stole all de watermiliions in Schley coun ty dan ter disonner yer poor old farder wid one lie. 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. Organization of The W. C. T, U. The Anna Muse society met as usual last Sunday. Bright faces greeted us. Our new and young president, Miss Jewel Murphy in the chair.

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, * Mrs. William Stewart, of Shellman arrived yesterday on a visit to relatives.

Mr. Sam Baldwin, and family of Talbot, county are visiting the family of Maj. E.S. Bald win of Schley, There is an interesting meeting going on this week at Ebenezer church con ducted by Rev. Chas. Walters. Mr. Eli Stewart, of Stewart’s mill was in town Tuesday on his way to the reunion at Amerieus. Mr. M. H.

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.
