The Olas and McDonoughs.
The McDonough base ball nine, be
coming euni in batting each other, sent
the Olas an invivation to come and get
what they had in soak for them. The
Olas who are hard hitters, who never
go back on first principles, accepted the
challenge and appeared promptly on
the McDonough’s ground Friday even
ing, dressed cap-a-pie in flowing rega
lia. This feature seemed to make the
McDonoughs doubt their ability “to do"
tie Olas, whom they had promised be
fore hand to beat. Cooly and imper
turbably the Olas promenaded It
champ de bulle, waiting for the troub
le to begin. Promptly at three o’clock
the cloiion voice of umpire North was
heard to ring out upon the misty ev
ening air, “Play hall !"
The Olas won the inning. Ernest
Maxwell, the first batter for the Olas,
grabbed a bat and sent the first ball,
delivered to him by pitcher Neal, into
a potato garden some one hundred
yards distant. They made two rounds
on the first inning.
The McDonoughs walked into the
box and made some good plays, hut,
the Olas succeeding in painting them
with wet lime. Going out among the
grass, the McDonoughs seemed to do
the Olas, and they did. The < lias got
it in the neck. There was not a play
er who succeeded in making the home
base.
Somewhat reassured that the Olas
did not own all of the motive power in
the neighborhood, the McDonoughs
proceeded to administer sky-scrapers t
weed-mowers and divers other
that earned them two runs.
Thinking it time to get down to their
work,the Olas went to the bat and pro
ceeded to knock the cover off the halls
as they were hurled at them by the
catapulteer Neal. They only made
seven rounds on this inning, and took
the field joyfully hopii g to throw a
red. wet blanket over the McDonoughs,
hut the McDonoughs played as only
met. who cau whose home grounds are
invaded by an over confident advisary.
11l the tumult of this inning they scor
ed one round. Ola wishing to appear
magnanimous scored a goose egg.
Things wero kept up to a white heat
to the 9th inning, when it was found
the game was a tie—McDonough hav
ing six scores, while Ola had six—and
eleven more.
It was a gloiious game, and Ola in
vited the boys to come down aud play
mumble peg and go ’possum hunting.
We will all go down and partake of
the hospitalities of the Olas, not forget
tiug to leave our balls anti bats.
Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
That Contain Mercury.
As mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucuous surfaces. Such
articles should never be used except
on prescriptions from reputable physi
cians, as the damage they w ill do is
ten fold to the good you can possibly
derive from them. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, 0., contains no mercury,
and is taaen internally, and acts direct
ly upon the blood and mucuous surfa
ces of the system. In buying Hall’s
Catarrh Cure be sure you get the gen
uine. It is taken internally, and made
in Toledo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney &

We predict for Cheatham’s Taste
iesA-t'hill Tonic an unprecedented suc
cess. The well kuown reputation of
its in an n‘'net tires is, of itself, an ample
guarantee of its superior merits, lm.
He’s Matte That Way.
The Atlanta Journal remarks that
it is pleased to sec that Col. Livings
ton is stpiarely on the Democratic plat
form, anti that he will abide the recent
Democratic caflcus. This seems to j
savor a little bit of an intention of
charging Col. Livingston, indirectly, of |
harboring sentiments antagonistic to|
the Democratic party. “Pleased to !
see that he says squarely etc.,” seems
to be begotten of a desire to prejudice
the minds of the people against the
Democratic nominee of the oth. For ;
what reason does the Journal make!
this insinuation. Certainly Col. Liv
ingston is a good Democrat
as there isiu the sth district.
He is a Georgian to the man-
or horn, and he lias always shown a
zealous divotion to the Democratic
principles promulgated by the found
ers of the party. We do not wish to
charge it, but it seems that Col. Liv
ingston is becoming a dangerous factor |
in the Senatorial race, and is likely to
make it warm for pa-in law Gordon ;
hence it seems that it must be shown
that Livingston is not exactly straight
in his Democracy. If this is the in
tention of our contemporary we would
say, by way of advice,“fret not thyself
about Farmer Livingston, he is solid
with the Democracy of Georgia.”
If we have misjudged the Journal’s
motive is it because its declarations are
not clear to us. Wo give the Journal’s
editorial remarks and let the public
Interpret what they mean :
We are pleased to see that the Hon.
L. F. Livingston says squarely that he
will abide by the action of the Demo
cratic caucus.
The success of Democratic princi
ples depends upon Donncralic unity ;
uoi only unity in the support by vo
ters of Democratic nominees, but in the
support of Democratic organization by
the nominees after their election, and
wlieu they are in office.
No man can carry the banner of the
organized Democracy as a worthy rep
resentative, unless lie intends to he as
loyal to the organization after his elec
tiou as he asks the voters to be during
ids election.
Georgia Democrats must see to it
| that every man that holds a noniina
I tiou from their hands pledges himself
squarely to the party machine.
Let us iu every instance elect our
, nomiuees, but let us see that they in
tend to represent the Democracy after
their election.
A few very pointed reasons why
Cheatham’s Tasteless Chill Tonic will
Ire a great success.. It is absolutely
free from all deleterious ingredients;
as pleasant to the taste as honey : an
absolute and never failing cure for ail
malarious complaints. Guuiaiiteed to
cure. What more could you ask ? lm.
Tlie Annual Binging at Tirzah.
Tlie first Sunday in September, lrt
-90 dawned upon tlie world with a
bright aud lovely morning. At an
early hour the pleasant grove around
tlie Church was filled with vehicles of
all kirtds, and the people were to he
mi in bo ted by scores and multitudes, it
would lie useless to say a vast con
course of people composed our happy
throng. As usual the opening exer
cises were conducted by llro Ogletree.
After singing that fuvorite old song,
“Coronation,” “All hail etc,” Prayer
was led by Rro. W. T. Griffin.
On motion of Bro. Freeman Bro.
Ogletree was chosen chairman of the
meeting. A committee consisting of
Bro. Freeman and others were appoin
ted to arrange a piogramme for the
order of the day. Rro. Ogletree, that
old prince of vocal music, was elected
to lead tye 2nd lessou of of 30 min
utes, Bro. led tlie 2nd lessou.
A recess of ten minutes were then giv
en. The house being called to order,
Bro. Davis was next to lead the mu
sic for 30 minutes. By the way, Bro.
Davis is no gourd sawing singer.
Not having any paper upon which 1
could enter head notes, I am left to re
ly on my imperfect memory, in com
plying the leading events of the day.
Bro. E. T Pounds was on hand, and
wheu it comes to estimating vocal mu
sic by weight, Bro. Pounds is a whole
ton.
To make mention of all the leaders
who were present, would extend our
writing beyond a proper boundary, it
is our privilege however to claim space
sufficient to make mention of those la
dies who presided at the organ. Their
names I need not tell. There weie too
many young meu their interested in
the lovelinest and beauty of those
youthful ladies, whose magic touch of
a stringed instrument would awake
the cords of a frozen heart. It is only
neeessary to sr.y. look out young men,
beware how you let their bewitching
or facinating smile fall upon your
trembling hearts, your fate is precari
ous if your capture not sure. Ifut
those organist were not all the lovely
women that were honoring that occa
sion with their presence. When the
hour arrived for recieation and spread
ing out the sumptuous repast that they
had so richly provided. Men were
again reminded that without the pres
ence and touch of Woman’s hand,
Eden would have been a lovely home.
A woman whose heart is devoted to
the tesponsive cords of love made to
her, is the highest type of human per
fection. Though her unquale.l touch,
set in motion, a deeti uctive tide, and
that flowing tide brought sin into tlie
world, yets* e was chosen to he the!
mother of hi,in who »a- horn of a wo
man. made under the law, yet
sin. Carry this towering thought t> J
its widest extern ion, and note the tin
measured wisdom of God. II d man
alone bei u involved in the trail-grot
sion. froili whence would have come a
glorious plan of ledeiiiption.
But we have wandered from our line. 1
We hasten to turn Imek to say, Until
among the many who were on hand at !
the singing, our old friend, unole Dick !
Man, was present wiih his genial smil-1
ing. pleasant countenance. '1 here
were comparatively hut few vorv old
men or «oifAn in our number. Manv 1
who used to meet and mingle with us I
I a-e gone over the return no j
more.
Aftei spending the day in pleasant
social engagement, having been liappi
j ly entertained witli splendid music vo
cal and instrumental, we sung our clo
sing song and dismissed with the bene
diction.
I’. !S. If the Griffin News and Sun
aro not furnished with a better account
of the Tirzah singing, oblige many
friends by copying this from the
Wkkki.y.

The passage of the anti compound
lard bill has had a most damaging ef
fect on the price of cotton seed. Last
year the price averaged something like
eighteen cents, but this year seed will
not bring more than twelve and a half
cents. At these figures it w ill be bet
tei for the farmers to keep them for
fertilizers.
It is too much to have to scratch
for a living and for relief also. Hunt’s
Cure will not help you in the former
case, hut will sure cure the Itch or it
costs you nothing. lm.

The adver lures of master Renat d
and Ysengrip, his pard, have made
him immortal.
1 will tell you his first racket, while ]
he was yet a lad—lie was not married; I
neither hi d lie paid pule tax, hut be
was a socialist. j
One morning, about day break, lie
entered the house of ids Uncle Ysen
grin. He had a film over liis eye
balls and bis hair was standing on end.
Ysengrin said to him, “What is the
matter beautiful nephew ? you appear
to be sick at the stomach. Are you
sick ?"
“Yes,” replied Rcnaid, “1 do not
feel very well.” But Ilenard was a
great liar.
j “Have you been to breakfast ?”
“No, and 1 don’t want any.”
Yseugiin called his wife, and said
j to her, “my uephew is a little off his
j feed ; you put tlie big marnite in the
t little one-—give him a rat and two ribs
of a rabbit.”
I “Ilenard sat down to his meal, and
ate the meat without salt. And while
tie sat there, looking over the morning
paper, his eyes brightened as he raised
them to the roof M Ysengiins house,
whore he saw suspended three beau
tiful hams. He said to himself, “It
will bo a hard job to burglarize this
place, but if he had them in his barn J
Could get there. If 1 had those hams
1 would live like a lord, yes, like a
king f>r a month, without trouble and
without work. How am lto get them?
I'll give the beasts some good advice.
“Good relatives, your hams are iu
danger. All of your neighbors are
hungry, and tlie last huff of them love
ham ; they are all going to come here
together and help you eat them.”
“Is that your opinion, Nephew?”
said Ysengrin.
“Yes, sir. My advice to you, is to
take them down from there ; and hide
them in your den, and tell your neigh
bors that they have been stolen.”
Hah 1 ball !’’said Ysengtin, “1 am
not afraid of my neighbors. Look at
my teeth, timid nephew ; 1 am loaded
for them. You can tell the hungry
rascals that these three hams are for
my wife and myself. No nephew, my
brother himself will never smack his,
lips over my hams,”
After breakfast Ivenard took his
conge oE his ham-hungry uncle, and
went otf to lix a plan to steal the hams.
He staid away without showing him
self at Yseugrin’s for two du*s. Hut
when the evening of the second day
had come, when it was as dark as a
stack of black cats in a cellar, our he?
ro returned to the house of his kinfolks.
The door was shut. Everybody was
asleep. Henard dim bed softly upon
the roof, and tore off some boards and
made a hole right over the hams. He
run his hand in and took out the hams
and dropped them in his war-bag, (hav
ersack) and went on a dead run for his
den. There lie took a breathing spell,
and laughed in his moustache, as he
thought what a howl his uncle would
lise in the moruiutf, when he awoke
and found the new, beautiful suustliue
coming through the hole in his roof, j
and his hams gone. Knowing that his
uncle had some dog in him, and fearing
he would track him to his nest, he pru
dently cut tl e three hams into small
pieces and hid them in the straw of his
bed tick.
Wheu Ysetigrin awoke he was very
much astonished, and began to make;
things hum with his howls. "Who 1
tore a hole in the roof? Who stole
my hams. Help! help! Stop the I
thief! Wife ! wife ! we are ruined.”!
His wife raised even more cain than
the old man. They kept up their
howling until liensrd came.
“Well, beautiful uncle, 1 salute you.
What is the matter with you, old man?
You look bad : are you sick ?”
“I’m mighty had off,” said Ysen
grin. "You have seen tny good, dried j
meat Yob saw It iiay before yester
day. It gone Tlija have stolen it
from me.”
Ueiiaid imrst out into a big laugh,
and said, “That is a tine yclieme, d<a
dy. You are no U>o’ ; you have taken
my advice. You have hidden *he
three beautiful hams in liu. den. hav
en't you ? Rullv for my aunt and my
uncle. Hun into the street, 'itiio tin
woods and yell eveiy where: ’Our
hams a'e s olein,' Your neighbors
will believe it, and your nephew will
not give your snap aw ay.”
Thing* got too hot for ilenard. lie
lit out down the toad, and threw his
head over his left as lie look
ed back and said. ‘•Good hye dear un
cle ! k ind aunt, remember me when
yon stew the hams !"

’treed In a Well,
e _—l
“And lie was a mighty hunter bfore
the Lord,” is what we learn front the
sacred records concerning a gentleman
yclept Nimrod. According to the best
authenticated records there were no
coons iu Nimrod’s hunting grounds, if
there had been, perhaps the phraseolo
gy in the text might have been differ
ent, for it does not take a mighty hun
ter, but a mighty good one to catch a
coon. Billie Littlejohn, accompanied
by two amateurs, took the woods,
ahorse hack. The dogs were able to
tell a coon from a sheep, hut it whs a
matters of indifference to diem which
one they chased if they were not hun
gry;
They iiad been in tlie woods hut a
little while when the pack “opened”
on hot track. AJI at once they began
“to bay deep mouthed” and furiously.
The hunters came to a halt, aud sat,
leaning forward, to ascertain, for cer
tain, fiom what direct ion came,the hav
ing. In most part it was loud and dis
tinct, hut occasionally a faint sinothei
ed howl, as if coining from a hollow
log. greeted their curs.
“There, now,” said Littlejohn,
“they've put him tip in a log, and old
Troun has gone in to interview him.
They were not long in going to the
[dace, aud found the dogs setting around
in a fifteen-foot circle and howling for
dear life. There was neither tree nor
log' in sight. The hunters thought
tiiey had treed a “hunt,” and their
hair began to rise and push their hats
upward. One of the amateurs n mar
ked, “may lie they’ve treed in tlie
ground.”
“Who ever heard, of treeing wi bout
a tree,” said the other amateur, “why
don’t you say they have “grounded”
iu tlie ground ?”
“Hoys, it ain't no titti; for foolish
ness,” said Littlejohn, “there is
something mighty had he;e. I) < yyna
hear that, tiling, way down iu the
ground, cavorting aroun I just like he
wanted a bate of man meat. Let's go,
for it may l»e a ‘panter’ in his den and
I want it understood that I've lost no
‘panter,' and if anybody else lias, I’m
not limiting him.”
The noise in the eartii grew louder
and more ominous, while the plaintive
wluneing of ihe dogs, with their tails
tucked between their hums, did hut lit
tle to inspire the hunters with courage.
“My God! boys, we are worse off
than Dan’l in the lion’s den,” said one
of the amatures. “Strike a match,
and let us see what kind of varmints
are going to devour ns,” he continued.
The match was lighted, and they
found an old well. The bravest ot the
brave hunters crawled tip to it cautious
ly and peeped in ; striking a match, on
thr seat of his pants, and holding it, at
arms length, down into the well.
“What do you see down there?”
timorously asked one of tlie amateurs.
“I see nothing hut old Troup, a son -
of-a-gttn. Take that steelyard hook
off that holds your stirrup leather, and
tie all of your bridle reins together,
then fasten the hook to tlie end of the
rein, bate it wiih that rabbits leg at.d j
hand it here.”
“Going to fi»h for him ?”
“Yes. A dog that ain’t got no more
sense than to jump into a well is a
sucker, and you can catch him with a
steelyard hook.”
He threw the bate into the well, and
old Troup bolted it at a gulp.
“Now, boys, I’ve caught the old ter
rapin. come and help ine bring him to
taw.”
As they tightened the line old Troup
gave a yelp, but before he could lioewl
again be was standing on the brink of
the well with his halter fastened on
the inside.
"VY hat are you going to do about
getting that hook out ?” said Little
john.
“Oh, that jobs as soft as putty. Cut
the lino off smooth with his mouth, and
I’ll give him a dose of liile Beans, aup
in a couple oi days you’ll never know
he has dined on steelyaid hooks. '
Troup is living and doing well.

For Sheriff.
To the voters of Henry county.
1 hereby announce mvoelt an a candidate
for election to the office of sheriff, which
election will come off in January next,
think it proper notlo enter the prim ary
fir several good reasons; one of which
i«* that all persons ure interested in who
should l»e their sheriff and jailor; and n
large nuinhe of people who arc .taxed to
support ourgovernment, and who are amena
ble to the laws thereof are not permitted to
vote in the primary. Besides 1 can see no
necessity in this country for a primary, so
fai as it relates to county politics.
Having filled this office for several years
in the past. (I hope to the satisfaction of the
people.) I earnestly solicit the support of
all the legal voters.
If elected will select a deputy satisfactory
to the public. Her-peetfully,
