The Conference appointments wer
crowded out this week, they will appear
in our next.
We have been intending for some time
to publish the stock law that goes into
effect here on the first day of next
month, but have been unable to get a
copy. Will our worthy representative
or some one else please to furnish us a
copy? We will return it promptly.
The Montezuma Record truthfully re
marks: All agricultural success de
pends upon the production of home sup
plies. It is impossible to make one crop
pay for all which you consume upon the
farm and have an overplus. Without
a diversity of crops, farming is oblige to
he a failure.
The munieiple election in Americus
yesterday was the most hotly contested
of any that our sister city has had for
years. The results will come too late for
this issue, but just as we go to press
we learn that the ticket known as the
“Citizens Ticket” and supported by the
best element of the city was elected.
Santa Claus, i« one of the sweet delu
sions that infantile mortals ever enjoyed.
Inform a childs mind on Santa Claus and
your rob it of nine-tenths of the joys of
Christmas. Better let the little ones en
joy the delusion as long as they can, the
rough side of life will turn up scon
enough.
The Lithonia New Era says the Dekalb
county alliance proposes to make joint
notes, borrow money and pay cash for
their goc ds. They will make their notes
payable about the latter part of next
December, and if they see proper they
can hold their cotton until that time.
In the meantime they propose to work
harder, economize more aud live at home
We congratulate friend Beverly of the
Ilawkiusville News on his success, in the
newspaper business. Only a few years
ago lie was a printer in the Dispatch of
fice, later lie started on his own hook
and to-day he is master of the field, hav
ing bought out and consolidated the Dis
patch with the News. May the Dis
patch News live long and prosper.
The Atlanta Journal, using a small
paragraph that recently occurred in the
News, as a basis, published a cut in its
issue of the 7th inst., representing Rev.
Mr. Flander’s dog, Joe, rolling little
Florrie around town in a baby carriage.
The cut is a fairer illustration of the
pluck and enterprise of our sprightly
Atlanta contemporary than of Joe and
!}1 h> baby carriage.
The man who attempts to trace up the
author of every unfavorable report and
‘•face him in it” is worse than a lunatic.
Better move on and try to do something
worthy of favorable comment, The
world will find out who you are and
what you are, dont you forget it? It
there is any good in your make up, it will
all be discovered in time and if you are
not worth a cuss t hey will find that out
too.
About the most worthless fellow in
any community is the professional
croaker. He will sit around on tile
street corners abusing the town and rid
iculing every enterprise that is mention
ed. He will swear that the people are
all selfish, mean and no good, the town
is non-progressive and dead and make
you believe, if he can, that the. whole
thing is going to the demnitnm hoiv
wows. The best thing to do with such a
fellow is to send him off as a missionary
to the Cannibals.
Mr. Jerry Dukes of this county is now
in iris 82nd. year, he passed Macon on
his way to this section when one log
house was all there was of Macon on this
side of the Oehmulgee river and lie is
still a hale, hearty, strong man. Besides
attending Dr. Cheney’s mill this year he
has run a little farm with one ox and
made two big bales of cotton, with other
produce, doing the work himself. The
old man was a soldier in the Indian wars
sixty five ago. He is the father of fif
t vn children, yet he looks younger and
is more robust than some of his sons.
He attributes his longevity and most ex
cellent preservation to the fact that he
lives in the healthiest climate in the
world.
AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY*
One never knows how badly Ellaviile
needs a bank until some citizens announ
ces that he is going over to Americus,
then immediately there is a rush of mer
chants and business men who wish to
send over a little money to be deposited
to their credit. It is a common thing
for a citizen to leave here with from one
or two hundred to that many thousand
dollars in small amounts varying from
five to five hundred dollars to be depos
ited in the various banks of Americus.
If we had a l ank here, not only would
all this trouble be avoided, but the
money would be kept at home to attract
business to Ellaviile and the interest and
other benefits would accrue to our own
home people and build up our own town.
It was the pluck energy and enterprise
of her citizens that has made Americus
one of the most prosperous and progress
ive little cities in the South. If her cit
izens had pursued the near-sighted policy
of sending off their money to Macon or
Atlanta instead of establishing banks of
their, own Americus would to-day be as
quiet as the seven sleepers of Ephesus.
There would have beeu no S. A. M. rail
road, electric street cars, compress and
other stirring enterprises to disturb her
peaceful slumbers. Money is the heart,
lungs and sinews of enterprise and to
have money you must have a bank.
Thousands of dollars pass out of Schley
county every year because there is no
hank here to control the business and
keep it at home.
From what we can learn there is plen
ty of surplus capital in the county and
plenty brainsjto manage it. All needed’is
concert of action and some one to take
the lead in this important move. Dont
pull backward because you cannot be
president, cashier or a director and do
not be afraid to put in your money be
cause the men chosen for these positions
are inexperienced. We have plenty of
honest and trust-worthy men among us
who could soon gather experience.' The
South never knew how many good cap
tains she could muster until the war
broke out and we had occasion to try
them, then it was found that the world
could not beat us in producing officers.
By trying some qf our successful busi
ness men it might be found that they
could not be beaten as bank officers.
We cannot afford so delay, the sooner
that a bank gets in operation here the
I etter for t he town and the county.
BETTER STOP IT HUERTAS.
The people cf Americus are eertinly a
long suffering and forbearing people.
It is not many communities that would
have sumitted as tamely to the imposi
tions and interferances of an adventu
rous stranger as has the people of that
city to the humlmgery and meddlesome
ness of Huertas, the long haired crank
from Florida who poses there as a doctor
Not content with swindling the ignorant
negroes out of hundreds of dollars, we
are told that lie hired himself out this
week to make political speeches to the
rag tag and bob tail and array them
again it the inteligence and virtue of the
city. His harangues are said to have
been exceedingly mflamitorv and incen
diary. Huertas, old fellow! we have
known you a long time and would be
sorry to see you hurt, but you are mon
kening with a huzzy saw now, better
stop your foolishness old boy, before for
bearance ceases to be a virtue.

worker and has won many warm friends
in Ellaviile whose best wishes go witii

Ellijav Courier.—A drink of whis

smoke never made a hoy advance one
inch toward being a gentleman, but is
often the fatal step to unhappiness and
ruin; and these habits should be shun
