should like to have them deline their
Jeffersonian democracy.

“Papa,” said a little boy Friday,as he
rode on the train away from The Rock
station, on the Upson county railroad,
“What kin is a Billy Goat to you?’’
“Why, son do you ask that question”
said the father?
“Well, that Billy Goat at The Rock
had whiskers just like yours?”
The father told the little fellow that
no relation existed and he said no more.
We have been requested by the ladies
to invite Marshal Quinlan to attack the
army of weeds that are intruding on
the sidewalks and highways of the
town. They are credited witli either
producing gnats and mosquitoes, and
hence their scalp is very desirable. In
some of the streets, the ladies dresses
are very much obstructed by the growth
on our sidewalks.
Some of our town farmers are elated
at their cotton crop prospect, Mr
Johd Hamil is dreaming of two or three
bales from three quarters of an acre.

are other patches we have not seen.
The republicans of this county have
changed the time of their meeting from
the 20th to the 13th, to-day week. They
have been induced to call their meeting
one week earlier because of the short
ness of the time between their first ap
pointment and the election in October.
Hon J 15 Matthews one of the demo
cratic nominees for the legislature and
Mr J G Zorn, of Upson both of whom
were delegates to the sixth district
congressional convention in Macon
came up Wednesday night aud went
home yesterday. They inform us that
the convention nominated Hon J H
Blount unanimously,and with the grea
test harmony and good feelings. The
district is a unit for Blount, and the
general voter and taxpayers considered
their interest when the delegates were
selected. Nearly all the counties in
structed their delegates for him. Mr.
Blount represents the people and not
the monopolists of the day and this ac
counts for the unanimity of the conven
tion. We know of no element that is
particularly embittered at the result
except the Macon Telegraph and Mes
enger whose opposition grows out of
ap rivate feeling on the part of one of
its proprietors.
Last year 55 cotton factories were
erected in the South, and many more
are eentemplated.

Pay of Grove i-uixient Official***
The recent resignation of a U. S.
Judge, with the frank statement that

Busy X-*olil leans.
The Congressional Committee are
j pretty busy now. The fight, is warm
ing up in every one of the 325 dis
tricts iu the country, and every can
didate looks to the committee of his
party to help him in some way. E
yen if it can he really of no assis
tance to Idm he feels it his duty to
call on it for something The result
is that the committees are overtun
with work of all sorts.
“Every man who gets elected Pres
idont of a campaign club,” said Sec
rotary Post, “wants us to furnish
him or his organization with a po
litical library, Here is a letter, a
modest one,asking for a compendium
of the lust census and a full set of
consular reports for ISB4 and as far
back as possible.”
‘•Who is interested in consular re
ports it: a campaign?'* was asked.
“Well they do not have much
campaign material in them as
a rule but they arc the most popu
lar documents a Congressman sends
out. Who wants them? School
teachers can post up from them so as
to possess all the information access
ible about some odd but interesting
subject, and prove to the members
of the school Board what a well in
formed man he is."
How to Select Flour.
An exchange gives the following
excellent manner of selecting good
flour. It says. -‘ln selecting flour.
I first look to the color. If it i
white with a yellowish straw color
tint, buy it. It it is white with a
bluish east, or with black in it refuse
it. Next examine its adhesiveness.
Wet and kneed a little between your
your fingers; if it works soft and
and sticky it is poor. Then throw a
little lump of dried flour against a
smooth surface; if it falls like pow
der it is bad. Lastly, squeeze some
of the flour tightly in your hand;
if it retains the shape given by the
pressure, that too, is a bad sign. It
is safe to buy flour that will stand
all these tests. These modes are giv
en by all flour dealers, and they per
tain to a matter that concerns every
body."
Mr. Gladstone, iu a speech at
Edinburgh, said lie was determined
to stand by his political programme
even though the conflict with the
Lords should end his political career.
