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. •100 (toward. fine. 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, Zl't-H. Tlie Klixmlurd. “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. lkutch Town 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. May 14. Don Juan.

J. H. McLean’s Sarsapa rilla will give tone, vitality and strengtli to the entire body. Fni rvlew. The cyclone sits ou the cyclone’s nest; the thunder stays at home; tile lightning has lit out of the west ; the rain it does not come. George Galloway planted his cotton seed among trees thick and tall ; the wouder is, will it make weed or any cation at all ? I Curiosity leads some by the uose about.

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. May 14. One of Gideon’s Band. “Krery .«*|»i-inR.” Says one of the best housewives in New England, “We feel the necessity of taking a good medicine to purify the blood, and we all take Hood’s Sarsapa rilla. It keeps the children free from humors, my husband says it gives him a good appetite, aud for myself I am sure I could never do all my work if it was not fjr this splendid medicine. It makes me feel strong and cheerful, and I am never troubled with that tir ed feeliug, as I used to be." lm. Nhntly Urorr. Tbe frosi came, and we think Earl Hicks takes the cake as a guesser.

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. May 13- Muggins. Moil t St. •fernn.
