Major Dan McGary, Editor and Pro
pi iet<«f Houston Age, Hor*'oii. Tex.:
Mv Deak Major : There in a dull
ness about the White House that is
fearfully depressing to a man who is
really aliv*. It is probable the only
place in the I'nited Stales where abso
lutely nwnogTiapplfjA. jhiere is nev j
er :tnything stirring in the White
House, unless Baby McKee has a can
dy pulling. Occasionally Harrison ex
presses an opinion, but really he is so
slow about it that he might just as
well send it by express. Compared
with Harrison an Kgyptian mummy is
as frisky u»a harlequin at a masquer
ade.
The very atmosphere iu the vicinity
is saturated with drowsiness. It would
piy to bottle it up'aud sell to dentists
all over the country as a substitute for
chloiofoim. If a pin drops near the
White House, people come rushing up
Pennsylvania avenue to ascertain the
cause of the unusual racket.
I became so dreadfully bored that I
determined to take a trip off. so I said
to Hariison :
“Mr. President, would it not be a
good jdea for me to swing around the
circle and see how the boys are coming
on ? I perceive several places where
the fences need repairing right away.”
‘•An excellent idea, Colonel Snort.
It will be a very pleasant trip for you.
You should visit Chicago, Indianapolis,
Albany, Columbus, Philadelphia and
other strongholds ol the party Your
trip will he one continued ovatiou as
soon as you strike the Grand Army
boys. You will also gain valuable in
formation in rogard to the political sit
uation.”
After warning Treasurer Huston not
to have any more interviews with re
porters until my return I took the
train next morning for Philadelphia
Making due allowance for the prov
erbial apathy of the Philadelphians I
was startled at the vastness of the in
difference displayed in regaul to Harri
son’s renomination.
Mr. Weideribeim, ’of the Union
League, was not very exhaustive in his
remarks. He merely said: "That
fellow Huston should shut his mouth
nnd lock it on the inside. Harrison re
minds me of the Kcely motor mau.
lie can work and work for months uuit
never accomplish anything.”
“IJou’t yon think he has a very able
mind ?”
"tie has a variable mind ; but that’s
not a very able mind, not by a long
shot."
Ex Sheriff Leeds, another prominent
lit publican, failed to perceive any bril
liant concatenation of rainbows in the
recent elections in Ohio, Michigan, In
diana and various other places. “The
fact is, Colonel Snort,” ho said, sor
rowfully. "we have been awfully fool
ed in Harrison. He may have been
born great, but, holy smoke, how be
has shrunk since ho got into the White
House!"
James McManes has always been a
led hot republican, hut his enthusiasm
for Harrison does not require being put
on ice. He said, winking one eye : “If
that Indiana chump imagines that my
friend Quay is going to favor auother
four years’ nightmare he is mistaken.
Only yesterday Senator Quay told me
that llanison reminded him of the
figure oue ou a ten dollar bill; iu oth
er words he was next to nothing."
Representative 11. P. Counel told
me confidentially that nobody would
have Harrison if he were given away
with a pound of tea.
“Where in the name of catuip tea
are Ilariisoa’s Philadelphia friends?"
I asked excitedly ?
1 was leferred to Mr. F. C. Knight,
a prominent In ion League mas, who
has a duck shooting box near Baltimore
and has been out bunting several times
with the President. Ho said he had
known Harrison to shoot at a duck six
times before be found out it was a
piece of mud on bis eye glasses ; Har
rison m gbt possibly succeed himself in
office.
A gentleman who contributed $lO,-
1.00 to the campaign fund last yoar to
elect Harrison says now that some of
Harrison's appointees would steal the
s'lver dollars off the eyes of a dead
Goddess of Liberty.
1 was more joytul in escaping from
Philadelphia than I was in lesviug the
White .House, but I did not realize
bow popular the President was uutil I
reached Columbus, Ohio, where the
President said I would strike the sol
dier boys and receive an ovation.
I didn’t strike them at all. They
struck me. 1 started to make a speech,
but as soou as I said ‘ Comrade Harri
.-ob,’’ 1 received a ki k that made tty
whisp of hair ou my otherwise bare
footed head stand up like the spiues of
fretful porcupine. Another friend of
ihe Administration hit me a fearful
whack on my obicular muscle with bis
crutch, and still anotbei cripple raised
a wen on my occiput—all on account
of Harisou’s position in regard to the
service pension question.
I succeeded in making my escape,
but to avoid such ovations during the
rest of my trip I disguised myself with
a false moustache while sojourning in
tows where the Republican element
predominated.
In private conversation with Gover
nor Hovev, whose guest 1 was while
recovering from the ovation, he said :
“My feeliugs toward Mr. Harrison per
sonally are very kind, but still I think
that there is a wave of ‘damphoolism’
blowing from the White House which
i« vm t discouraging. He is an anima-
idiosyncrasy ; when he quits being
Pit.ndeui the Republican party will
experience a boom; if there is any
truth in what scientists say about short
hair depriving the brain of electricity
Harrison never should have got his
i hair cut.”
Yob see, Major, the President’s
friends are a long ways off. but Pm go
ing to keep on traveling until I find
them.
I write these lines iu Chicago, hav
ing arrived here last night. To-mor
row I will consult with John M. Clark,
Ike Clements and othe. disgusted peo
ple. Yours lor Reform,
Bill Snort.

The readers of Tiik Weekly will
be pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that science
has been able to cure in all its stages,
and that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh
Cu' e is the ouly positive cure now
.known to the medical fraternity. Ca
tarrh being a constitutional disease, ’re
quires a constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, act
ing directly upon the blood and mu
cous surfaces of the system, thereby
destroying the foundation of the dis
ease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and as-
sisting nature iu doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith iu its
curative powers, that they offer one
hundred dollars for auy case that it
fails to Cure. Send for list of testi
monials.
Address, F. J. Cheney <fc Co., Tole
do, O.
CySold by Druggists, 75c. lm.
Catarrh is iu the blood. No cure
for this loathsome and dangerous dis
ease Is possible until the poison is
thoroughly eradicated from the system.
For this purpose, Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
is the best and most economical medi
cine. Price SI. Six bottles, S 5.
Worth $5 a bottle.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla possesses cura
tive powers exclusively its own, and
which make it “peculiar to itseK” Be
sure to get Hood’s.
When the hair shows signs of fail
ing, begin at once to use Ayer’s Hair
Vigor. This preparation streugthens
the scalp, promotes the growth of new
hair, restores the natural color to gray
aud faded hair, and renders it soft, pli
ant, and glossy.
FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS
[We are in no wiac reaponsitite for the
rirws expressed by our Correspondents.
We cannot make any allowance for irreg
ularity of mails or failing to post lettera af
ter they are written. To obviate this diffi
culty, wu would auggest, that correspon
dents at a distance write Saturday and
mail their communications as soon theie
after as possible. If a letter comes iu on
time and we fail to publish, on account of
want of space, it will be published the fol
lowing week. Let every correspondent give
us the news in as condensed form as possi
ble, otherwise it will lie necessary to elimi
nate superfluities. All communications ar
riving after Wednesday will be too late for
publication.
I.ocmm* drove.
Since lust I wrote many, yea, very
many things of considerable interest
have occurred in and around our trau
quil little city.
We have been the lucky recipents
of showers, but the diving winds make
them cease to exist, and we are sadly
behind ou water.
We have witnessed more burials
around our city for some little time
passed than ever in all our time be'ore.
Death, that grim monster, stalkß abroad
over the land, seizing iu his iron grasp
the sire, the husband aud wife, the af
fectionate child of tender years, but
why stand we in dread ? as the decree
stands forth, “Dust thou ait Hnd unto
dust shalt thou return” ; yet the true
man must go the great God who gave
us immortality.
Mr. Guthrie, our special artist, takes
the cake. He takes types riding,
walking, sleeping, eating, smiling or
any other way you want them. We
are glad to see so many having their
homos and families taken. Yes, that
dear, old home with those that cluster
around it is the sweetest picture that
earth can lend to us, because iu it
is mother slid home, and iu the dim fu
ture what a prize it will be to gaze
upon.
Dr. Heflin, our generous friend, will
soon have the M. E. Church to wear
the white robe cf paint tbrongh his
own effort. We sigh for more liberal
aud noble hearted men like the Doc
tor. Blessed is the free giver.
Some of the boys have gotten be
hiud ou sleep, as tbe side walk has to
till the vacuum. Lon, have you an I
Bud caught up yet ?
Tom W.. the ladies want some more
bananas and ice cream.
Miw Willie Farris is spending some
time at Eatouton, Ga., and a certain
fellow says now that the city has no
chat ms for him.
Mrs. Miltou has just completed her
nice stock of millinery j aud so nice
and cheap, too. Ladies, don't fail ti
call aud see her if yon want a good
: thing.
i Our city is still improving. New
j buildings going up.
Mr. Bob Brown lias added to his
residence and made it more beautiful
by an addition of the royal green.
Mr. Joe Sandifer has completed au
ather house here near the M. E. Church
aud others are on tbe way.
We anticipate a large time here in
the near future, as wc arc getting ripe
foi a barbecue of huge dimensions
about tbe 4, of July. Will tell you
more as tbe good work goes forward.
We, politically speakiug, can just
say that the next representative will
lie of the hardy sons of the soil, so
stand back Lawyers, ~ Doctors, Mer
chants, Preacher* and all other pro
fessional*. You're hail your share of
the cake. *
Our Eclipse planters are a success
and every farmer will w lit one or
more for another crop.
Our Sabbath Schools are thriving
here—over the left. Too many pic
tries for the we fare of the country. g
Sabbath breaking seems to Ire the
order of the day. Six days shall thou
labor, but the seventh is the day of the
Lord thy God, aud in it thou shall not
do anything.—But Ephraim is bowed
down to his idols. Calmly,

“I legat'd Hood's Sarsaparilla as
having passed above the grade of what
are commonly called patent or proprie
tary medicines,” said a well known
physician recently. “It is fully enti
tled to be considered a standard medi
cine, and Iras wan this pbsition by • its
undoubted merit and by the many re
markable cures it lias effected. For
an alterative and tonic it has never
been equaled.” 1 m.

Our last letter written to The
Weekly, (which was, f believe, llome
time in February) by some means fail
ed to reach your office, ot else acciden
tally tumbled into the waste basket,
that shocking monster, which is the
recepticle for all uninteresting letters,
hut never the less we ate induced to
write again, not so much with fond an
ticipations of reading our own interest-
?)letters, as a desire to gratify the
earnest wishes(?)of the many readers
of your most excellent paper paper;
and, believing too, that the aid of our
fascinating pen will enhance the value
of the Weekly at least 100 per cent.
We will endeavor, from time to time,
to give you the news from Dutch Town
af ofteu as opportunity is afforded us.
Everything is quiet in Dutch Town
at present, and farmers are busily en
gaged from early morn, till “dusky
dark,” in chopping cotton, plowing etc.
Mr. J. Frost spent last Thursday
night in our community. He was not
a welcome guest, however. The sad
impression left upon the cotton demon
strates the truth of this statement to a
certainty.
Corn is looking well, and growing
rapidly. There is some complaint
however, cf bud worm destroying it
to some extent.
Oats are almost an entire failure in
this neighborhood, and wheat—well,
it is almost “gone by de bode.”
There has been but little said in re
gard to politics, as yet, in our communi
ty, in fact the farmers are all too busy
just now to argue any political points,
aud the candidates themselves we sup
pose are so busy at work, that they are
waiting lor a rainy day to announce
themselves, for the respective offices
which they hope to encumber in the
near Mi'ure.
We agree witli your correspondent
of Flat Rock, in regard toC. A. Mc-
Kihben as being the man to hold the
same office he now occupies, and if he
should run he will get a rousing vote
in the Sixth.
We think that Mr. George E. Wise,
would be a suitable mail to represent
this district in the State Senate. Mr.
Wise lias many warm friends iu Hen
ry county, who would like to honor
him with their votes, lie is a progres
sivc farmer and has always lived ou a
farm, and is also an enthusiastic Alii*
aucemau ; and would look closely to
the interests of the farmer.
In our opiniou, Col. C. M. Speer
would also till the office with honor,
and distictiou, aud we know of no one
than whom the people of the sixth
would love to honor with their votes
iu sending him to the State Senate,
should he consent to run. The farm
ers certainly need men to represent
them who will heartily sympathize,
and earnestly co-operate with them.
On the prosperity of agriculture d«
{tends the prosperity of all other indus
tries. Then let professions and enter
prises of all sorts unite with the farm
ers oue time iu electing farmers to the
various offices throughout the state.
Give the farmers a chance oue time,
ami then if they fail to administer with
“equitible justice’’ to all enterprises,
whv then lot them tetire aud let men
of other professions do the legislation
iu future.
We are iu receipt of a letter from
Dr. J. K. Johnson, of Ellijay, Ga.,
stating that his son, who is also a phy
sician, contemplates locating at Love
joy iu the near future. He is a gradu
ate of Louisville Medical College.
Having atteuded three full courses be
fore graduating.

Everybody seeiß*»lo want to say
something in the paper* about things
in general, and seeing every neighbor
hood represented why not let us blow
a am ill blast on our small bazzoo?
People tell you generally that the
farmer ought to l>6 happy and conten
ted. Granted. But there is a few
things, only a fewthat pi even is him
from being as hapß} as a nigger at a
’lection. As we. want to try our stub
eml pencil a little, let us see what are
just a few of his grievances, as well as
his much boasted joys.
The farmer is the pack horse ou
which the w orid throws its ioad. The
world is a hard master. It does not
have much regard for the farmer-pack
horse when they begin to load him
First they load him with taxes, and
exempt moneyed men from the burden.
They load him until the pile reaches
to the top of theliighest of our swamp
sweet gums, and the poor old p ick
horse sweats and groans under the
load until he is kip shotten, and his
poor old legs are bent until they would
make a pair of tames.
Heretofore he has beeu a poor or
ganizer, but now, thanks to the blessed
Farmer’s Alliance, the big eyeH of the
nation are witching him, and politi
cians and f&atesmeu are troubled
when they aeqjjya organized columns
marching to trfci front and demanding
local, and national recognition.. No
calculation is made now-a-davs that
the farmer does not inter into it large
ly. If a man wants to go to Congress,
this first inquiry is can I get .he suo
port of the Farmer’s Alliance? With
out it he knows he is dead as a door
nail. And many will have to do
without the endoisement of the giand
old F. A., and consequently many am
bitious, would-be statesmen will have
to dry up on tfie stalk. It is sad, but
this is a world ,of trouble, and fallen
ambition should not make wry faces
when it takes this bad medicine.
Let them observe Alliauce princi
ples, and those principles like the pi low
of fire that guided the Children of Is
rael, will lead Ihe/n to a heaven of safe
ty.
The people waut good men to rep
resent them in the next genetal assem
bly. Of conne we make no issues of
“Alliance” olt“nou-Alliance,” but if
wo can find good metl iu our order,
why uot takelthem. “The world lav
eth its own ” and if the world sticks
to its own wliy not let us do what we
can to help a failin’ il brother. We
know of no better mau for th« Senate
than the oid “war horse,” Charles T.
Zachiy. llrehas been faithful to every
trust, and wexriow if Henry county
will endorse him Gwinnett and De-
Kalb will take delight in honoring him.
This old veteran has grown old in the
service of we think he
should round off his political career by
sending him to the Senate.
It there is one mau who has labor
ed in the democratic ranks more faith
fully and more uncomplainingly as to
the distribution of legislative honois
than aiiothtw, we think that man is
I)r. W. fl. H. Peek. l)r. Peek is a
simon-pure democrat, and an Alliauce
man of a pronounced type. We swamp
angels aud large majority of our high
land brethren waut to send him to the
new capitol. The farmers, if they
send him, will find him a faithful ser
vant ever willing to do their bidding.
Livingstou is the unanimous choice
of this section for congress. We think
it about tinfe for Judge Stewart to
take the course he indicated for Col.
Hammond, that is, "that a man should
not grow inossbacked fu offie.” The’
judge has beeu a good easy, noucom
initial sort of fellow in congress. He
lias been so mild in politics at Wash
ing that you could not distinguish be
tweeu him and a clever republican, of
whom there are oue or two The
judge, like all cougiessiottal lawyers,
stands in with “the money bags,” to
wit: the rail roads and protective tar
iff republicans. We want a good dem
ocratic Allianceman for Congress, one
that knows what the farmers need.
Then, when we shall have seen
these things accomplished we will say
with Sinn-on of old, “Lord, we have
seen thy salvation, now, let thy servant
depart in peaee.” This may not have
been the patriarch’s exact language,
but it is near enough to convey our
idea. We are ready for the political
milleuuium—let it come.

We differ with you, Mr. Editor, in
regard 10 your a tide <>u the McNair
subject, in nlncli you elt 'eavored to
iuap 13s upon the public. that we had
made foul charges attain t Mr. Welch.
We made no cli t gi-s w hatever agaiust ■
Mr. Wch h which our commit*.- lion 1
plainly show-. We. mule 1.0 ;uta
on Mr. Welch c all ami have no De
sire to do him or any other'mari an it -
justice, and we tli nk you just a little
too previous in you. attack on us.
We said, and still say, that if Welch
is a free man, then Tom Shaw sh iuld
be at liberty also, for both men were
accused of the same offi nse. They
were accused by the g-uid jury of
Butts county, and not by your corres
pondent Muggins. We have at no time
a ecu sad Mr. Welch or Mr. Shaw of
any crime, in saying that Tom Shaw
should be at liberty as well as the oth
ers, meets the approval of four fifths of
the people of Henry couuty.
As a matter of couise Governor Gor
don can’t pardon Shaw, from the fact
he was granted a new trial.
Tom Shaw has our sympathy, and
our comunication was intended for his
benefit, without any foul charges
against Mr. Welch as the editor has
accused us.
W e are aware of the fact that the
jury was on hand when the cases was
tried, and have no ijoubt as to their
honesty. We are s'ill aware of the
fact that the jury who tried Shaw nev
er tried Welch.
We said itt our communication, “it
was strange to us any jury could
acquit Welch and make a mistrial on
Shaw, when both men were accused of
the same offence.”
But there is nothing stiange about
it at all, for each side had a different
case for-the same offense.
If we possessed any inelinath n to
do Mr. Welch any injustice we would
have done so be'oie his acquittal.
We have no emnity against Mr.
Welch nor any other man in Henry
county, tior have we accused him of any
crime; but as Welch and the others
were accused of the murder, (the cow.
ardly murder of McNair,) and as
Welch and the others were free, then
we say most emphatically, turn out
Tom Shaw, and we hope the next jury
of Butt’s couuty will liberate him.
We don’t think it prudent nor prop
er on the part of the editor of any
paper to assail one of its correspond
ents lor expressing their opinion on
any subject. If our article did not
meet the approbation of editor Speer,
then he had the right to reject and
suppress it.
As a correspondent to The Hkxky
Founty Weekly we don’t think Mr.
Speer had any right as an editor to
condemn our communication, even if
we had of done what lie alledges.
W e are done on this subject if let
alone. We have a big basket full of
information on the subject, and will
turn her loose if necessarj.
