cMbtg cwfl PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY. Subscription §1,00 A Tear i:i ADVANCE. Ellaville, Ga. Thursday Nov. 14 1881) R. DON. McLEOD Editor. 5 ■jJj (MiCarutf Montana inaugurated a Democratic Governor last Saturday. Washington Territory was admitted into the Union as a State last Monday. Americus has recieved some of the rolling stock for her electric railway. 'Yurt opened Monday in Columbus with Judge J. M. Smith presiding. — —— 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 ready expended was enough for awhile e <«►—— • 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 ! The person who furnishes items to a newspaper is always a valuable friend to tlie editor. M.,ny he.,itale about Bending personal notes to a newspaper regard me th6 inovfHHciitj of Sfictol fYioTwfa 7 e ne-vspaper man should should think tin m too anxious tc see their names in print, He wid think nothing of tne kind, but on the contrary be is glad ^ to get such notes. Many seemingly unimportant items when printed are news to a large number of readers.—Marietta Journal. ••• 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- ‘ rin S 1 1 e l ,<H 'l h e . •lint fmnin candidates who I were too lgno iant tog -t up a*legal ticket. 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. “ W A N AM A K EE’S BEST” BELOW PAR. -- “This is Wanamaker's best” said a '“»• «-•*-*». 1,lg ° ut a BUlt clothes to an old time cus f° mer - “ Wel1 S ive somebody else’s worst ^ ,en *” replied the customer, -I have k°ught \\ ana maker s goods from you si,ice 1 commenced to buy my own fLitlnng, i but I dent want any more gU,,<l * iro,u a ni:m who, after making a <»* of ........... all in |,b 1 I0 ' VCT to llumHiatc us.“ ------♦mw---- Willie ' U VVillimnu " hiatiiH. fi the murderer , of „ con ductov , W Ingham was hanged at Abbe ville last Friday.
