Cleveland’s Lucky Star.
It is said that one of the peculiarities
in all circles at Washington is the re
markable confidence many men have in
Cleveland’s star.
All through the Hawaiian episode,
when a large part of the press of the
country was demmuciug the adminis
tration, and some of the more radical
party papers were even demanding the
president's impeachment, veteran ob
servers in Washington raid: “Never
mind, Mr. Cleveland will come out all
right. He always dots. That’s his
luck. Just look at that fight over the
silver bill. The odds were 100 to 1
he was beaten. He thought so him
self, and so did the members of his Chb
iuet. Right at the last minute there
was a sudden turn of affairs, and before
any one could realize what had liap-,
pened the silver crowd was down awf
the president was on top. You c*ti’t
beat a man who was boru u*der a
lucky star like that.”
Even among those who do not like
President Cleveland, may be found this
same supertition that his luck will carry
him through where auy ojJier man
would fail
Died in a Crave.
Pittsburg, Pa., Dec. s.—The funeral
of Mrs. William Schell, held here this
afternoon, involved another death un
der the most startling circumstances.
This morning Walton Fish, the step
father of Mrs. Schell, aged 60 years,
went to the cemetery to dig the grave,
but did not return. At 3 o’clock the
funeral procession reached the ceme
tery, the coffin wat/taken to the open
grave and prepared to lower the casket,
dust as it was about to be lowered, Un
dertaker Reno looked iuto the grave.
Walton Fish was sittmg at the bottom
with his head bowed down on bis bo
som. Mr. Reno, with others, sprang
down and raised the old man to the
surface. He was dead, having been
stricken with heart disease.

W. P. Walker, of Spalding county,
while that gentleman was at the
world’s fair last August, was arrested
last week. There had been some
words between them, and the negro
made threats to two of his companions
that he would get even with Mr. Wal
ker. A few nights later the barn was
burned. It is thought he had some
accomplices. The negro stoutly pro
tests his innocence, but was placed in

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Kor the Poor.
The poor ye have always with you,
and whensoever ye will, you may do
them good. Scripture.
From this divine standpoint we de
sire to invito the thoughtful considera
tion of the reader to ail organized and
systematized plan by which we can
render material aid to many who are
known to he of the poor of our land
and country.
We have presented this question to
our brethren of tlio Farmer's Alliance,
and many of them approved of the
plan, but there were some who were
not willing to go into the enterprise—
which was the organiz ition of a busi
ness-like joint stock company, by which
evt-ry member of the company would
be enabled to carry a policy of “two
thirds” of iho appraised value of his
mule or horse, in case it dies within the
time for which it was insured. The
tna'ti object intended by this organiza
tion is to help our poor brother, who
has but one mule or horse to rely upon,
to do all tlie plowing in making his
crop. Does not every thinking man
know that his poor neighbor has not a
single dollar laid abide, with which tc
buy another plow mule, in case
he has the misfortune to lose the only
one he had ? Now, what sort of ar
rangements can that poor man make to
procure another animal to carry on his
plowing? Don’t you know, my old
friend, that that poor dependent broth
er of ours has to submit to whatever
terms may be offered him in procuring
another old flop-eared, one-eye*’, half
dead mule, with which to continue his
plowing? besides, it may take Uinx
three weeks; or a bnonth, tnilo'i
get up that old worn out mule, and by
that time the grass and weeds
have inundated his exhausted and per
ishing crop. i
Now Bupposo the generous, kind
hearted farmers of every county in
Georgia bad a complete, systematized,
well organized “How Stock Insurance
Company,” iu which a poor man could
hold membership for twelve months at
a time, or at least from the first of Feb
ruary to the first of August. But some I
of my readers are pondering in their:
minds how some unprincipled man
would get into the fold and impose
fraud and rascality on the interests of
the company. Let mo suy to you,
brother, that the rules and regulations
by which this business would bo run
would defeat the aims and purposes of
a dishonest and unworthy member of
the company. In the first place, no
man who is not a citizen of the county,
and is known to be honorable, truthful
man, would be received into the com
pany. But, says some men, those con
ditious would exclude many of the very
class, that you propose to help. Not at
all, it does not necessarilly follow that
because a man is poor, that he is not
truthful and honorable.
We come next to present the chief
cause, why there are some men who
will not lie willing to go into a business
eutei prise like this. There are some
men of considerable means, who own
fine, healthy looking young tnule«, and
they have but little idea thut one of
their mules are going to die during the
year. But on the other hand, nearly
every one cf those mules, owned by a
number of poor men, who have their
mules registered lobe iusur, d iu the
company, are almost certain to die du
ring the y ear and then my m nicy
wool i have to go to pay for these poor
tm t.*s poor old dead mules. Now
friendly readers, if our tight fitting cap
don’t apply to you, dou’t put it on. W
want you to go into this company for
the purpose of helping these p or
neighbors of yours in case one of th; m
should unfortunately lose bis mule. It
is not a far ■ n r> cot , tbit y ui :i i
young mule i :0 ng lo 1.0 at.il your
poor brothel’s old yellow mule is going
to kick out of ihe harness.
Having presented this question thus
far for the thoughtful consideration of
1 the honorable farmer of Henry county
we shall proceed in our next to fur
uisli an outline of the stipulations a; i
conditions upon which this enterpris
can be run successfully, and greatly t .
I the advantage of every honest nnu

who may go into the company. I want
it to be distinctly understood, that the
solo object and purpose of this propos
ed orgaui/.ation is to effect a reliable
system by which our poor worthy
brother may secure help on better terms
than he can otherwise do, in case it is
his misfortune to loso his only plow
mule at a time when it would bo bard
for a poor man to procure another to
finish up his plowing. It is our poor
fellowmun, that we are laboring to help
is the sole reason for our urging the
importance of this proposed organiza
tion. W.T. G.
