When you have timel The fr«euil you hold so dear May be beyond the reach of all your sweet intent; May never know that you so kindly meant To till her life with sweet CoDtent When you had time! Now is the time! Ah, friend, no longer wait To scatter loving amiles and words of cheer To those around whose lives are now so dear, They may not need you ia the coming year— Now is the time! —Set. COXKYS MAD MARCH J. S, coxey the crank from Masilon O. who came into notoriety by his efforts to collect an armv of the unemployed to march to Washington for relief, started out Sunday on Schedule time with about seventy five stragglers in line. It is their purpose to demand of Congress the issu ing of $.100,000.000 of non interest bear ng bonds. They expect to get recruits all along the lice of march. John (i. Tdwnly is in Alabana trying to organize a regiment to join the army, which is composed of vagabond tramps and an archist. The deluded followers of Coxey are in hard luck, and the cold weather uas caused many of them to desert ami return to their homes. If this lawless oand persist in their efforts to tx-seige the capitol the riot will be promptly stauipt out by national troops TheThomasvjll Times has the following ‘ A prominent citizen of Thomasvl e md he is a cl >se observer of politics and [lassing events, ha® recently l>een in Au gusta, Macon and Savannah, From these cities radiate to large extent, popular sentiment. ..I am satisfied said this gentleman yesterday ,*liat General Evan will sweep hestate like a whirlwind.

Northern will appoint Senator successor witliout delay, as it is very important that the place be tilled at ti is time. Peter Cooper’s Advice Peter Cooper, who liv d to be over 60 rears old and died worth many millions, said of a newspaper; “In all towns where a newspaper is published every man advertise in it, if nothing more utn a curd stating hi* name and the bu» mess he is in. It not only pays the ad vertise r, but it lets the (teople at a dis tance know that the town in which you reside is a prosperous community of bus ness men. As the seed is sown so the seed recompenses. Never pull down sign while you expect to do Unities* Congressman Wilson is now in Texas 9 i liis way home from Mexico. lie is greatly imprt»txl though ftill very weak and emaciated.

At the expanse ot U*it’g charged with wanting to become a eundtijate for dice. I take th-' risk of t r% iug to write an ar tide, which 1 hope ejll be ‘lie means of accomplishing good and pt eventing evil to die whole people of all part ies and ev ery calling. But can’t see how I an to * s ape censor , oarticularly from t ecan didaies. unless I first ann«>unca that, J an no candidate for office, if I were cotnpe i>*nt, and for this same reason it may not Ik* one I ere caution t>> <ugge«t to the same par;ies that I am apprised of the fact that tne impatient, some times “Kick belon they are spur • 1.’ Th< r .* never has een a time when apolitical campaign hot h contested would be productive of more harm an 1 accomplish less good thati iiov In fact, tliere is no reason or argument for it. Baton the contrary every thing condemns it, as useless and unnecessary It will demoralize la’ or, engender strite corrupt morals, cause a useless expendi t ure of money and do more damage t< the farmihg interest, than the difference in the men who occupy the office can probably do. vthen we elect an Ordinn ry, it will Ire by a majority vote of the peop e. lie will not be the officer of any political party, race, or color: But ot .he whole people. The democracy of tin county cant afford to hold a nominating convention, and conform strictly to thru platform and principals, neither can tin people’s party. Because both parties are w. rkitig for the negro or republican vote And in order to secure it, admit tba party into their convention, regardlessot platform, or restrictions. Both receive them under any conditions that will ge them. Bv doing this they allow or mak,. it possible for republicans, the same one* to vote in both conventions and selves men of their choice in both. Now where is your Simon pure democracy or you I masted people's pa.tv? ‘It's the voice ot jaeob but Esau’s hand. For the love of peace, the accomplish ment of good and preventing of diveis evils, let. us as a kindred people, a hand of brother*, with one common interest unite in mass meeting. Lotus haven conceit iration of the whole people of all parties races arid colors, and dare to do what i. right and best. Let every candidate wh< iliinks lie has claims, run in iho first ba lot. Tliin result, will show the two high est men. then run those two men. Who will of nece.-sitv be a democrat and pe<> (lie’s party man. A d pledge the people to abide this nomination. r jet it be a democrat or people par y man. lnadopi ng this course w e dispense within a great measure the evil influences of bad whis key, c.nuptmg the lalot by bu\iig votes, arraying father against son and I not her against brother and relieve our depressed and almost bankrupt farmers from damages caused bv lost time and drunkness in working for eleetioneeriny candidates. Or wovld the better plan he for the executive committees of both par ties to meet and see what is liest in tire premises. I am not wedded to this. But this or something better.
