McDonough has gone no where
when it comes to doublets. But a few
days since our wot thy Third Brave
was present' 1 with a couple of as nice
girl babies as you could find in a
weeks journey. Now it agains trans
pires that our clever fellow citizen,
Tommie Stewart determined not to be
out ione, places himself in the same cat
egory with our Third Brave, and now
dandles upon his paternal knee a cou
ple of sweet little female cherubs—one
two years old and the other not so old.
Weak Women.
The more sensitive nature of the fe
male sex renders women much mo e
susceptible than men to those numer
ous ills which spring from lack of bar
rnony in the system. Tlie nervous sys
tem gives way, sick headache is fre
nuent, the appetite is lost, and other
ailments peculiar to the sex cause great
suffering. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is pe
culitrlv adapted for such cases and has
received the most gratifying praise for
the relief it has afforded thousands of
some l whose very existence before
taking it was only misery. It strength
ens the neives, cutes sick headache
and indigestion, purities and vitalizes
blood, and gives regular and healthy
act on to every organ in ti e body.
M nrv the Dekalb con ty soreheads
tried to make Colonel C. T. Zachry
pledge h’mself to vote for Gordon for
the sen ite, he said : “I will go around
arid see my folks about that before the
time comes.” Hurrah for Bro. Za hrx.
He intends to represent his people. The
people are always right.—Alliauoe
Farmer.
It is too much to have to scratch
I for a living and for relief also. Hunt’s
Cure will not help you in the former
case, btu will sure cure the Itch or it
costs you nothing. lm.
lUK people of Henry county love
General Gordon, hut they regard him
ar a little unstable United States
senator. Should he be elected to tee
senate they have no assurance he would
not swap his commission as United
States senator for a railroad job of
some kind.
Gus A. Dubois, a well known resi
dent of St. Louis, says : “I have us
ed several bottles of Prickly Ash Bit
ters for billiousness and malaiial troub
les, so prevalen t in this climate, and
heartily recommend it to all afflicted in
a like manner. It is the best remedy
1 ever used.” lm.
The Miulillo in the Thirty-Fourth.
We clip the following from the Ma
con Telegraph, purporting to have
been written by an Alliancenian. If
the nomina.iou was not regular and
Col. Zachry did not receive a fair and
square nomination, the people and
press of the three counties have never
learned ii, the declaration of “Alliance
man” to the contrary notwithstanding.
As for Col. Reagan making an inde
pendent race against Col. Zachry
there is not the posibility of a chance
of such a thing since he is one of the
best organized democrats in the coun
ty. And lurther the people would not
support any man, however popular he
might be, against the democratic nom
inee.
No there is no muddle here in the
34th, and those who declare that such
a state of facts exits certainly know
nothing of the temper of the organized
democracy :
Editor Telegraph : A considerable
muddle exists in the thirty-fourth sen
atorial district, composed of Ilenrv,
Gwinnett anil DeKalb counties. It
being Henry’s time, she, at a primary,
selected Uol. C. T. Zachry. A sena
torial nominating convention was call
ed to m :et at Stone Mountain. One
delegate from Henry • appeared, Gwin
nett was not represented, DeKalb was
represented by an appointee of the ex
ecutive committee of the senatorial dis
trict. There being no quorum no
nomination could be made. Hence,
this district is without a nominee and
the field is open. It is possible that
Mr. Reagan of Henry will be put for
ward. Am.ianceman.
We predict for Cheatham's Taste

Gen. (pinion at McDonough.
According to a pre-arranged pro
gramme, Gen. Gordon spoke here last
Tuesday. There was quite an effort to
get the farmers out to hear Gen. Gor
don, hut this effort failed to a great ex
tent.
Gen. Gordon was warmly g eeted
by the people. . The ladies had put
themselves to no iittle trouble to dec
orate the court house for the occasion,
and the floral display was artistically
arranged after the manner that our la
dies know so well.
The Alliance was made to take con
siderable part ; n the ceremonies. Hon
W. M. Combs, vice president of the
County Alliauce was made chairman,
and Capt. A. D. McKenzie County
Lecturer, was chosen to introduce Gen.
Gordon, which he did in a neat little
speech t > the following purpose : “La
dies and gentlemen ; it affords me
pleasure to introduce to you Governor
Gordou. who is a candidate for the
United States senate ; a man whose
past history is well known to you ; a
man whom I esteem both as a soldier
and a civi 'an, but whose political
course, L regret to say, I cannot en
dorse.’’
The remarks of Capt. McKenzie
seemed to throw a damper oyer Gen.
Goidon, who said, “It is the first time
in my experience as a public speaker,
I have been condemned before I have
have been heard.” Notwithstanding
tnis little bit of pleasantry on the part
of Capt. McKenzie, who was actuated
by pure and honest motives, the Gov
ernor made one of his' best speeches.
He spoke kindly of all his opponent*
and was profuse in his thanks to his
friends for their kindness and courtesy.
It is not gem rally thought that Gen.
Goidon helped his cause by coming
here in view of the damaging circunf
stances that followed him at Conj'ers,
and Decatur where they got out an
independent at the lormer place and
threatened to get out one at the latter
b cause the nominees would not agree
Ito support him. Of course Governor
l Gordon s no', accused of complicity in
I in these matters, but the people are
vc n jealous of tin ir rights, and they
j think when a nomination has been
made candidates for higher offices
should not interfere. And Governor
Go don’s coming was construed by the
Alliance as meaning that he desired
iu some manner to iuitueuce their re|-
resei.tatives who were elected without
an issue. However much the people
love Governor Gordon they regaid it
as an invasion*of their riglusto com*
among them and promulgate a doc
trine not in accord with their princi
ples.
We welcome the Governor and hope
to hayc him again to address the pen.
pie on the issues of the day.
Shun the Partisan.
Now that the farmers are resolved
that they shall be represented in con
groes anil legislatures by men of their
own selection and tried and true the
voice of the. partisan in all parties is
raised against such honorable names as
shall be presented. This is natural and
has been the case from the remotest days.
But farmers, if they are to be successful,
must not listen to such slander, but ex
amine for themselves. Look at the rec
ord of those you would have represent
you and let that be the guide, but shun
the partisan’s cry for or against the
men of your selection. American
Grange Bulletin.
Scared Them All.
The Fanners’ Alliance has scared most
of the public men. They all want to be
accounted a friend of the farmer, and
such as hold farms are pointing to their
horny hands and talking about crops
upon every public occasion. Many of
them have been brought up on farms,
and some of the largest estates in the
country are owned right here in the
Capitol building.—Frank G. Carpenter’s
Washington Letter.
The blows of the Farmers’ Alliance
are being felt in the house. Representa
tives who have served many years in
congress have been mowed down like
grass.—Washington Letter.
The New York Sun speaks of the
fanners’ movement as a “frenzy," and
delights in calling the agricultural agi
tators “hayseed socialists.”
