WEEKLY i TI.MK\ J. A. TOUCHF, Editor. Entered at the postoffice at McDonough Ga., ns second-class mail matter. McDonough. Ga., SurT. 30, 1892. 'l'urn out to the Poll*. Before another issue, of The Week ly shall be presented to the public the election for Governor, state-house offi cers, representative to the general as sembly and state senator will be held. The election occurs on Wednesday of next week, October the 3th, and we take this means of again calling the at tention of the Democratic voters of Henry county to the fact that they will, undoubtedly have opposition—strong opposition. It will be no one sided election for these offices as it has been for quite a number of years, but you will have to try vour strength against a new, though thoroughly organized party, whose leaders have left no stone unturned by which they can catch votes. Bear in mind that the pai ty that gets the most votes in the ballot box will be the successful party. Then, Democrats, you can’t afford to be luke warm ; np and be doing, and when the day of election rolls around go to the different voting precincts and vote for those who represent the party that has been the souths bulwark and defense ever since the dark days of reconstruction. Even were there no question of prin ciples or policy in this political contest, the immeasurable superiority of the Democratic ticket should rally to its support a large majority not only in Henry county, but throughout the State—and this majority will be telling if every Democrat does his full duty. It is not simply victory that Democ racy needs now, but a victory so com plete that its influence will reach over the national election in November and give another victory that will throughly crush out all division among Southern people—for the menace which is over us is plainly an attempt to divide Dem ocracy. The accomplishment of this end would surely engender continual domestic turnoil, defeat the only real political friend of the people, and per petuate in power a centralized govern ment viciously antagonistic to all the best interests of the South. Duty is plain—Democracy deserves all. Let every mar. with true Southern blood in his veins turn out next Wed nesday and do his best. Political excitemeut is now at a high ebb in these immediate precincts, and the relative strength of Democracy aud the Third party is furnishing an end less fund of discussion. The candi dates for county offices, as well as those for state house, are out early and late kissing babies, spinning yarns, and adopting mauy other methods by which to ingratiate themselves to the voters, and cause them to give consideration to their claims. Let the Democracy of Henry county stand firmly together. Stop and con sider for a few moments what Democ racy has done for you before you al low yourself to be drawn away by the glittering fallacies of any new or old parties. Bally around the standard of Democracy, and with the old Hag float ing above you, fight beneath its folds, come weal or woe, victory or defeat. Every Democrat in this district that possibly can should turn out to the meeting of the McDonough Democratic club to-morrow afternoon. If you are not a member you should have your name placed on the list at once. The Henry County Weekly ol McDonough is making great strides in progressiveness. It appears in an all “home print” from this week. Mr. A. B. Johnson lia3 joined Editor Fouche in his great work for McDonough and his county and we feel sure that they will succeed.—Lovejoy Picayune. There is no use talking, neither Har rison or Cleveland will be elected un less they take De Witt’s Little Early ltisers. They have a “get there” quality possessed by uo other pill. D. J. Sanders. To-morrow Hon. B. M. Blackburn, of l'ulton, will speak on the issues of j the day at Stockdridge. Mr. Black-I burn is a thoroughly posted, readv! talker, a “simon pure” Democrat, and is ture to interest and entertain all who ! attend. DIED—In this city of consurap tiou. A familiar headline isn’t it ? I It s pretty riskv to m-glect a cold or cough. One Minute Cough Cure is pleasant safe and sure. D? J. Sanders.! Let every Democratic nominee on ' the ticket be supported with cheerful-1 ness and enthusiasm, and Third party- j ism, the last hope of the Republicans, will be effectually crushed. What shall it profit a man if he gain ! the whole world and then has dyspepsia ! so bad that he can’t eujoy any 'of the 1 good things it Contains ? He wont have dyspepsia if he takes De Witt’s Little Eearly Risers. D. J. Handers. A Card from lion. K. J. Reagan. To the Democrats of Henry county: As your standard bearer in the comiug contest for Representative, 1 desire to calf your attention to the importance of the party going to the polls and cast ing their vote on next Wednesday. The election on that day is for Governor and the State House officers’ Senator and Representative. Besides several important amendments to the Constitu tion are to be voted upon ; and in or der for the party to be successful it will be necessary for the Democrats to work for the ticket, and turn out and vote. I have made an address in every district in the county and have, to the best of my ability, upheld the princi ples of Democracy, and we have the fight whipped beyond all question, if the party will do its duty on election day. The people are with us in this contest, aud victory is sure, if the Dem ocrats go to the polls ami vote, but our opponents are alert and vigilant aud are working with all their might; therefore let no Democrat stay at home under the impression that his vote will not he needed, but let every member of the party vote, aud feel that it is his duty to get every one else to vote that he can. Nothing now can defeat us but in difference on election day. We have a good large majority of the people of the c junty in the Democratic party, then let every man go to the polls on next Wednesday and cast his vote for the nominees of his party. It is also important that every voter should examine his ticket carefully aud see if the names of all the Democratic nominees are on it. The polls at all the precincts, except at the court house, will close at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, therefore every Democrat should vote as early in the day as possible. Very Respectfully, E. J. Reagan, Gunter or Reagan? Mr. Editor : In a few days the peo ple will know whether it will be Gun ter or Reagan for the Legislature. It -hould lie remembered by all, that whether it is Reagan or Gunter, that the present method of democratic electioneering is very unfair, and it might be said disreptutable. There have been many misstatements made about Dr. Gunter which are entirely without foundation in fact. It does seem that fair play should suggest truthful statements. While what we are going to say will iii no wise correct the evil, yet it bhould at least receive passing no tice. We do not think that Mr. Reagan would stoop so low as to garble the record as was done in a recent circu lar ; but if he knew it and permitted it to to circulate then he is in a cer tain sense blameworthy. The measures criticised in the cir cular were gotten up by some of Mr. Reagan’s warmest friends and sup porters and sent to Dr. Gunter for pass age. And now since Dr. Guuter has the courage of his convictions, aud de clares himself opposed to the party that lie was then acting with, those so called friends turn and rend him for doing what they requested him to do. Every one knows that Mr. Reagan passed the seed cotton bill; for he could not do otherwise when the land lords made the demand on him, yet it is a measure that acts harshly on the tenants, white and black. Many a poor man’s wife and children have perliups gone barefooted till mid-winter because ho could not sell his remnant of seed cot ton—all that he had after paying his landlord. Will any one blame Mr. Reagan for this ? It would be just as lair t<*Hay that Mr. Beagan should not represent Henry county in the Legis islature because he is a railroad law yer. What honest man can blame him it he is a railroad lawyer ? What fair minded man blames him for riding from one eud of Georgia to the other on a Central railroad pass? It would be un fair for Mr. Reagan to say that lie cause he draws a fine salary as a Cen tral railroad lawyer that he would not represent Henry county’s interest as well as that of the Central railroad, while in the Legislature. No fair minded man will say that Dr. Gunter has not been honest in the discharge of his legisla tive duties. He has always shown himself the friend of the laboring peo ple, and we confidently expect to see a clear exhibition of the fact by a rous ing vote in his behalf.

Best Corset ever offered for 50cts made especially for the Racket Store. PaYNE’S chapel. As every voter knows, the sth of October, (next Wednesday) is election day, and every true friend of Democra cy should turn out aud vote for Col. E. J. Reagan. It is important, fellow citizens, that we look well as to who manages our government. In the democratic party we will have good laws, as we have always had, so far as in their power to give. All the bad laws the people complain of being made by the Republicans. Really, fellow citi zens, this is a serious thing to consider, for upon it depends our future pros perity M v God ! can any true South ern man vote against our interest by putting corrupt men in office? Rea gan has sh ,wn by his record that he is a friend to the working class. Now to the colored people. Col. Reagan lias shown that Dr. Gunter voted for a hill to disfranchise the poor white people and darkies, not allowing them to vote on the free school, in which they are especially interested. Think about this, then make up your minds aud be sure to vote for Keag&n. The Hampton Democratic club met at their hall last Saturday evening and was called to order by President Wil son. A resolution was passed pledg ing every member to do all in his pow er to elect Reagan. It was agreed to have a People’s party man to help manage the election. Judge John D. Stewart of Griffin, was to have address ed the club, but failed to appear, which disappointed everybody, for all know John Stewart to love him. He made us the best Congressman we have ever had. Col. Reagan made the club a fine speech last Saturday night, to a large crowd of as good Democrats as ever lived. Everybody was well pleased, and that means that Reagan will get a large majority in Hampton district. President Wilson introduced Col. Reagan in a graceful manner and was warmly cheered. It is an old adage, that “United we stand, divided we fall,” and every true man should re member it and turn out next Wednes day and voto for the regular democrat ic nominee, as we have always done. Go early and don’t be too late to vote. Let every man turn out and get some one to go with him, and give Reagan 700 majority at least. No true demo crat should be too busy to look after his candidate, for I tell you, fellow citizens, we must not ueglect our duty, but do all we can. Messrs. Sam Coker, Mat Harrison, J. D. Bowden and lira Barrett were the guests of your scribe last Sunday. We congratulate Editor Beadles upon the way he got up the pictures of Rea gan, Gunter and Chinn, lie is a true democrat, and every candidate should give him their announcements. J. T. and Lum Fields are as much interested in the election of Reagan as any man in Henry county. Rev. Hilliard Glass, a colored min ister of the Sixth district, died last week. Hilliard was a good democrat and had many white friends. Every colored man should follow his exam ple. Some of the darkies who voted in the People’s party nomination 'have been told that they can’t vote for Rea gan. You can vote for him and should by all means do it. We were proud to see our old friend Capt. Fife at the democratic club in Hampton. Such good, old Christian men as tie is should be a guide for ev ery body to stick close to the grand old democratic party. Old Guard. Another of Cupid’s Pranks.

'Commits Suicide. Miss Krtniue C. Cotton, who has been in charge of the millinery depart mect of York store in Jack sod, committed suicide at that place last Sunday. She boarded at the Morrison hotel, and while the boarders were all at din ner she entered the young men’s room, got a pistol, retired to her room, and placing it to her temple fired, the ball passing entirely through her head. She died in about twenty minutes. The remains were carried through McDonough Monday, en route for Columbus, the home of her parents A great many Henry county people had become aeqainted with, and formed a strong friendship for Miss Ermie dur ing her stay in Jackson, and it is with profound sorrow they learu of the rash act that terminated the life of this win some lady. No cause could at first be assigned that was sufficient to lead to the conou ination of such a deed, but it is now re ported that it’s the repetition of the old story: disappointment in love. She became enamared of a gentleman in Jackson, but it seems that her affection was not reciprocated. She left a short note, but gave no reason for the act.

Crops made in mid-winter, and the products sold at enormous prices.

The farmer is 01'iiv en-a'-ed five months in the year making his crops—and those five months when the weather is soft and balmy. For seven months he has the pleasure of fishing and hunt in- The streams are teeming with the finest fish and the forests abound with all kinds of game Quoting from a letter written to myself by Mr. D. If. Bivins, formerly of Hampton now 01 Bartow, Fla., he says: “I have been here for a number of years, and know this to lie the most healthful climate in trie world. People afflicted with all kinds of diseases come here, and our climate is a panacea for all their ills— they come sick and "o away cured. ” The same authority says a neighbor of his sold S7OO worth of strawberries from an acre. Another sold s4.'iO worth of onions from of an acre And again a °vntlem ux engaged in raising -tomatoes sold SSOOO worth from 10 acres this seis in, and has a con siderable number yet to sell. Mr. A. A. Sutlers, agent of the Hi. So. & Fla. R. R. jn tormed us that last season a friend of his sold S7OOO worth of truck from 00 acres and that some acres in pineapples brought $1000! Fellow sufferers, this heals raising 6 cents cotton. Here vou work twelve months nnd barely “make buckle and tongue meet.” You work hard, live hard, and it’s a foot race between you and “Hard Times” to keep out of debt. In Florida vo-ir work is light and pleasant. In five months you have made your crops, sold them and Save the money ill your pocket. Then you have the balance of the year to devote to pleasure or amuse ments—fishing, hunting, boating, etc. The Associated Railway I.pnd Department of Florida is now making the unprecedented offer of 17,(10(1 seres ot the finest timbered lauds (will cut from 4000 to 5000 feet of lum ber per acre; in one of the best counties in Florida, below the frost line, at $5 per aere ;» 'a < a /'- balance in 1, -2 and 3 years. This section is just now being opened up, and is what is known as the Manatee country. The.-are located from 7to 10 miles from the Gulf of Mexico, and on Manatee river, a navigable stream. Taken altogether, it is one the finest bodies ol land in Florida, both for fruit growing and vegetable raising. As a stock range it has no equal, growing grass luxuriantly the year round. It is no unfre quent tiling to see from 250 to 1000 head of sleek, well iired cattle in one-herd, and 150 to 500 horses in a bunch. These lands are now coming prominently into the notice of southern farmers. They begin to recognize that they have slept over their rights, and live let the shrewd, industrious Yankee go in and reap a golden harvest before they kniw a vast store of latent wealth was being mined bv these astute people. Being but recently commissioned bv the land company of Florida, I have had time only to see 75 or SO good Henry county farmers, who signify their determination to buv some ol these valuable lands. Let enough of Henry county people take this land at once, for if we fail of this chance, it is the last to buv cheaply.’ Should a colony of Hen ry county people—say 150 or 200—buy these lands, as soon as the bargain is closed they will advance 100%.

The tract above described lieing in my opinion the best bargain, I have men tioned it more particularly. Call on in.
