The race between Col. .lack Hen
derson, tbe present Commissioner of
Agriculture and Col. Nisbitt, of Cobb,
is becoming quite warm. Col. Nisbitt
is a dyed-in the wool farmer, a man
who has made bis money by holding
the plow handles and driving tbe mule,
lie is a successful farmer, and asks the
pi ople to help him ta oust the Augean
hostler who has befouled the depart
ment of Agriculture by all manner of
extravagances and excess. This man
Renders >n has received from the toil
ing farmers more than $25,000 in sala
ries. He is of the Atlanta ring, who
must have everything. Tbe farmers
are getting tired of kid gloved oristoc
racy : they want a farmer who can tell
them how to make coin, cotton, wheat
and oats, and one not one who devours
their substance as a drone.
Many people habitually endure a
feeling of lassitude, because they think
they have to. If they would take Dr
J. 11. McLean’s Sarsaparilla this feel
ing of weariness would give place to
vigor and vitality. 1.
Col. L. F. Livingston is the only
Allmnceman who commanded the at
tention of the Ways and Means Com
mittee at Washington a few days ago
In him they recognize a man - who is
going to move heaven and earth for the
people. He is quoted by the Atlanta
•lournal as saying with regard to his
recent trip to Washington :
“Our trip was a very satisfactory
> no, in my opinion. I think a favorable
impression was made ou the ways and
means committee as to the sub treasu
ry plan. Wadall of South Dakota and
Humphries of Texas were with me*
The members of the committee seem
ed to think at first that the sub-treas
ury plan was designed to cripple eith
er the Democratic or Republican par
ty, but as soon as we succeeded in con
vincing them that it was a non-parti/.au
measure, they were very favorably im
pressed with the scheme. 1 have the
promise of different members of tbe
committee that they will give us some
familiar plan if they cannot accept
ours.”
Sick headache is the bane of many
liqcs This annoying complaint may
lie cured and prevented by the occasion
al use of Dr. J. 11. McLean’s Liver
and Kidney l'illets (little pills).
It is no wonder tliut Col. Jack Hen
derson, of the Agricultural Department,
has a few ardent supportois. Who are
they 't They are men who are drawing
a salary under him, and are helping to
burden the farmers with department
officers who know nothing about farm
ing, but arc willing to have 'lie people
aupi ort them. Let us get rid of Col.
Jack and give the farmers a chance.
Distress after eating, heartburn, sick
headache, and indigestion are cured by
Dr J. .11. McLean’s Liver and Kidney
Pillets .(little pills.)
FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS
(Wo arc in nowise responsible for t tie
views expressed by our Correspondents.
We cannot make anv allowance torirreg
iiiarityof mails or tailing to post letters af
ter they are written. To obviate this diffi
culty, we would suggest, that correspon
dents at a distance write Saturday and
mail the-r communications as soon theie
attorns possible. If a letter oomes in on
linn- ami wo tail to publish, on account ot
want of space, it will be published the lol
jowiitg wook. Lot every correspondent give
us the news iu as condensed form as possi
ble, otherwise it w ill lie necessary to eliuii
nute superfluities. All communications ar
riving alter Wednesday will l»e too late for
publication.
DcAvii on the C’rook.
About weather and crops we have
had some experience. Now as to
weather, we wou'.d say, when it light
ens iu the north, at night, it will rain
that night or the uext; and when it
shows up in o.her points of the com
pass it don't amount to anything—it
lends hope to the eye and breaks it to
the heart. On the whole lightning is
like (jen. Tomb’s liquor in the jug—
it’s mighty uncertain.
There are many rain signs, an 2 as
the fanners have more or less anxiety
on this heed, we will give them a lew,
so, if one fails, they can try another.
When the doodle bores his hole early
iu the morning and sweeps his piaza
with his left mandible, it means one
of two things, he either is bestiriug
himself to get up an appetite or to let
the suu shine in at his inverted window.
But when you see him throw up a fun
nel shaped roof over his house, you
had better get old Dock and your best
turuiug plow aud throw your terraces
two inches higher.
If you are in need of rain mighty
bad, and the corn can’t stand it anoth
er day, and the cotton looks sick when
the suu hits it square iu the face, stop
all hands and arm them with sticks
and rocks ; then make a diive up and
down the fence rows and edges of the
swamps and briar patches, with instruc
tions to kill the first “coachwhip” that
shows himself. Care should be taken
not to hit the snake anywhere else
than on the head, for it is written, “the
seed of min shall bruise the serpents
head;” but be 6ure to bruise it good, so
that his nearest neighbor would not
know it from a pancake if they met
him in the road. After yon have kill*
ed him good, take your knife and split
the skin just about the nape of his
neck ; put into this split a feather out
of the right wing of a cock raincrow,
then hang him in the fork of a sassa
fras that has its forks pointing north
and south. If tins does not open the
windows of the clouds it is because the
clerk has answered a similar call, and
has not a drop left in his captious seive
Thereat another sign that is infalli
ble, but it is known to all seasons alike.
When the wind blows from the south
west, twenty-four Lours, you oan pnt
rubber overcoats on the goslings ' and
fall into your cyclone pit. This point
of the compass was foi mcrly known as
•‘Peter’s Mud hole,’* but of late years
we have learned that ic is the nesi of
the wild, wooly cyclone. Generally
you can afford to let this sign alone if
it will let you alone.
When the wind blows from the east
it is liable to fool you. Sometimes it
blows for a week from that point, and
biings nothing but a set of bad feeliugs.
Hut occasionally it brings rain, and
when it rains from there you lake in
the shingles and fix to make brick af
terwards. An east wind is tbe mean
est thing that blows. Formerly it
was worse than at present. It only
blew a few hours for Pharoah’s benefit,
and brought a swarm of lice, until then
unknown. Some of them took to the
dirty Egyptians, some to the hogs and
the balance to their cotton and collurds.
From the energy of the present creep
er it might be presumed that he illus
trates the theory of the survival of the
fitest, and bites worst when the wind
blows from the east, so they say.
The man who lias a grassy crop this
year is the one who planted without
breaking his land—it is last years
grass. Generally speaking crops are
as good as the land can make. Farm
ers have the bulge cn the grass this
year, and the cotton is a good stand
and a stalk in the hill. Corn has been
the recipient of a good deal of atten
tion, and like everything should do, lias
responded and spreads like the raea
sels.
Since winter lias retired from active
business the ’possum and the coon
loams the swamp unmolested niouarchs
of all that fall beneath their vision.
The crawfish and the tadpole keep in
hiding to save their crusts. Towser,
Rock and Jolly, who last winter made
the coou sing :
"I’m Col. Coon, flic cunning man,
I travel in the dark,
I never knew what trouble was
'Till I heard old Tawser hark,’’
are now lazily snapping at the hungry
liies that fill their tanks from their lung,
flopped ears.
We note with much interest that the
Farmers Alliance stands firm to its
purpose. The address made by Farm
er Livingston before the congressional
committee of Ways and Means has the
right liug. He told those half hearted
public servants that they must do
something for the millions of farmers
and laboring people generally. At
first the committee was disposed to
make fun of our Leonidas, but Leoni
das, like the stinging worm, came at
them with his business end foremost,
and never failed to impress them with
the idea that lie knew what he was do
ing. It was not long before he had
their attention, and instead of waking
up an ignorant fellow, they found a
man who knew exactly what the fann
ers wanted, ami like a true man, de
manded their rights. He showed them
plainly that the government under re
publican rule Mhd been controlled by
tbe millionaires north, and that the in
terests of the working people had not
been consulted iti the whole of a quar
ter of a century’s legislation.
In that little talk before congress,
Livingston did more good than any or
the whole of the Georgia delegation
lias done in two years. The people
are getting tiros! of men who go to
congress and vote for schemes to waste
thh public money, instead of using
their influence to reduce taxation and
to better the condition of the laboring
people. If we mistake not the signs of
times we are going drive to drive the
money changers from the Temple (at
Washington) and put men in their
places who have no money god to
serve, but who will listen to the cry of
distressed mil lions of farmers, median
ics and laboring people generally. To
this end and tor this purpose, the Alli
ance is God-given, and this year will
wituess a cleaning out and thinning of
cortupt politicians who are gorged on
the mouuy taken from laborers of the
country.
The farmers of tbe sth Congression
al District will never be satisfied until
they send Farmer Livingston to Cou
gress. We are anxious to see his name
written on the Alliance haulier, aud to
see him open the campaign at once,
aud lead the people to an honest vic
tory that has been denied them for, b>,
these many years.
Yours for reform.

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

Ou las Tuesday evening we boar 'ed
the excursion for St. Simon's Islam l .
There weie eighty tiete.s sold at this

arrived at Brunswick in good shape.
We walked up and took a peep at the
great deep; looked at the beautiful
steamers moving gentfi upon its bosom.
There was a rush to see who would be
the first to get on hoard the steamer.
We stood hack and looked well hefoie
we would go aboard, for fear onr head

City of Brunswick came for the second
load we ventured to get on and a more
pieasant trip we never had. When we
got to the Island it was not what we
expected. Wo spent several hours on
it and then returned to town in com
pany with our clever friend John
Rowan.
We took in the town ; b und it to
be much larger than we expected, more
especially in the prices of something to
eat; they seem to think people weie
compelled to dine with them, but we
were prepared, for most of ns had our
lunches with us.
Several very funny things happened
just before the train left for home ; one
of our young men was asleep in the
car, another one slapped him on the
shoulder and yelled, “tour ticket!”
He jumped out of the car in his sleep
about the time it was starting to move
off; his brother and a friend started af
ter him. They had the roost exciting
race we ever witnessed. Ilis brother
calling him in the most pitiful tone to
stop and come hack, hut in his fright
he did not heed him, but he finally run
against a fence. They caught him and
put him in the car.
Several from our neighboring town,
Rex, went on the excursion ; among
them was the firm of W. C. and J. H.
Estes, who seemed to enjoy the trip
splendidly. We will tell all if they go
the uext time.
Two of our crowd got off at Mc-
Donough, on the way back, and start
ed to walk over to look at the beauti
ful city of McDonough. Of course, the
train waited for them, but you can im
agine their surprise wl en they return
ed to the denot to find that the train
had leit them. They looked sadder,
but wiser when they walked up home
about night.
To sum it all up we had a most de
lightful time.
