The legislature adjourned last Satur
day sme die. Surely hath Georgia much
to nive thanks for.
The defeat of Foraker in Ohio, is the
grandest victory ever achieved by the
democrats of the Buckeye State.
The legislaTAire adjourned without
making an appropriation for completing
the improvements of the capital grounds.
Guess the solons thought the S3.000 al

The Brunswick Times very truthfully
remarks: “The city whose people are
waiting for some one to come and build
it up. will wait forever. When they take
hold, put their small mites of capital in
to aggregates that count in banks and
manufactories, they open the flood gates
and capital pours in. Capital is not at
tracted to dead towns,
Last Friday night while the City Coun
cil of Americus slept serenely the slum
bers of the innocent and unsuspecting,
the S. A. M. Railway company with
nearly a thousand hands dug and delved
like beaveus and the morning sun arose
on a long line of new railroad traversing
a forbidden street. Now some of. her
people hurrah and cheer while others
fr -t and fume and swear.
While the thermometer has been
standing below zero in the Northwest,
the snow r piling up nine feet deep on lev
el land, railroad trains bound up, and
completely stopped, by snow and ice,
men, horses and cattle literally frozen to
death, we, of Georgia have been luxuri
ating in lovely sunshine with just
enough cold to make the weather de
lightful. Come South young man, come
to Georgia, come to Schley county !

James I. Williams, a young colored
farmer living in Crawford county
chased a farm for five thousand dollars
and lias paid every cent for it. That is
settling the negro problem faster than
any politician can do it,—Colored far
mers’ Alliance Gazette.
We have never seen James I., but
w II bet a giil of fish hooks against a
green persimmon that he is never seen
loafing on the street corners discussing
politics and grumbling about equal
rights.
The Tallahassee, Monticello, and other
Florida, papers express great indignation
at the a»rest of leading citizens, charged
with election frauds. They say that the
United States District Grand Jury was
packed for the purpose with eleven thick
skull, ignorant negroes, who needed no
evidence to get an indictment. They
seem to take it for granted that every
negro voted the republican ticket and
because that ti diet failed to get a major
ity in the counties where the negroes
predominate, they indicted every white
man who h;iu any tiling to do with the
polls. From what we can learn the evi
dencoagainst the parties is very meagre.
The republicans can hardly hope to oon
vice, but take a special delight in
gingdemocrats from their homes and
harrassing them as much as possible be
forn n radical tribunal. Iu Lc„„ county
tile K-liulican tickets wore tlirown out on
a legal teen icality. If anybody is guilty
of fraud fortrvin<,tnnul.Ltrr in that county it is the ", renulili- ‘

IT CAN BE DONE.
Ellaville possesses all that nature
could do for a town site. Our scenery
is perfectly beautiful, surrounding coun
try fertile, and thickly populated with
thrifty people, and our climate even and
healthy. With Americus Macon and Co
lumbus so near us on three sides we can
hardly hope to build up a great commer
cial city, but if we will all pull together,
patronize local institutions spend
our money if possible with home peopl
do all we can to help each other, speak
well of our town, our county and our
neighbors to strangers, we can build up
one of the loveliest little country towns
that ever brightened a spot on the globe.
Our Schools would improve and more
people would come here to educate their
children. Northern people would be en
ticed here to spend the winter. Capital
ists would be induced to make invest
ments in the county. Wealthy mer
chants and business men of
would build handsome residences and
keep their families here, as is done by
thousands of wealthy gentlemen who do
business in New York and other large
cities, and reside in ‘ suburban towns,
many of them forty miles away. Here
the distance is only fourteen miles, the
trip morning and evening would take
but a few minutes and would lie a big
j advantage to health. A greater demand
for the products of the farm would be
created right here at home, taxes would
be distributed and made lighter and
every citizen of the county would derive
some of the benefits.
NO THANKSGIVING FOR BENJAMIN.
The National Democrat thinks that
the results of last weeks elections leaves
no ray of hope for Harrison, nothing for
the republican president to feel thankful
for, and says:
Mr. Benjamin Harrison did well to is
sue his Thanksgiving proclamation be
fore the election of Tuesday last. If he
had delayed it for a week, perhaps lie
would not have felt like publishing
it at all.
What has he to be thankful for?
Does he rejoice over the annihilation
of his man Mahone in Virginia?
Does he feel thankful for the downfall
of his friend Foraker in Ohio?
Does it make him feel grateful to the
Almighty to know that Senator .Payee’s
successor will he a Demorat?
Dors he see anything to make him
chant a gladsome hymn in the grand
over turn in Iowa?
Dees the Democratic triumph in New'
York make him wish to give thanks to
God or man?
Does the Democratic victory in New
Jersey arouse sweet emotions in his
breast?
Does the reduced republican ma jority
in Massechuseetts make the Thanksgiv
ing season to him a sweet and holv time?
What is there, anywhere, we should
like to know “ to mike thi< „ m ti 0 m a „
t h a„ kfu
Even the Presbyterian doctrine of pro
■» • v » ^ , t0 , , ^ ltS , p0Wers
ove r the presidential , soul m a time like
inis inn ’
Sack cloth and ashes would seem to be
the fating habiliments of a parly leader
who leads his party up to such results as
those of Tuesday last,
Benjamin Harrison will do well to de
vote the National Holiday to silent pray
er and self-examination.
That is what he needs, and what will
do him good.
THANK THE ADVERTISERS.
Newspapers could - of I e furnished to
readeis at the low price of $1. a
were it not for the advertising patronage
they retrieve. In Mexico, where adver
tising is only begining to take a good
hold, it is common tor weekly papers to
charge $3. a year, very small papers a t
that, and many of the weeklies charge
$5. a year for subscription.
So it. is the liberal advertiser that read
ers should thank lor their cheap papers
and the friends of every newspaper
should make it a rule, other things being
equal, to trade with the advertising
merchant.
