Reagan Interviewed.
Hon. Ed Reagan, of Henry county,
who represen.ed his county so ably in
the last legislature, aud who has been
renominated by the democrats of Hen
ry, came in from McDonough yester
day aud spent a few hours “I am
very much encouraged at the outlook, ’*
said he, "and believe that the state will
go democratic by a bigger najority than
two years ago. I find in talking with
people generally, that the populists are
not as strong in many sections of the
state as they were two years ago. I
hear that there has been some iucrease
iu their membership iu the cities, but
that it has fallen off in those sections of
the state where they were stronger two
years ago. You notice that was the
condition over in Alabama. Oates
gained where Kolb was strong before.
The good, sensible people of Georgia
and ot the south realize that the only
way to accomplish anything iu the
lines of the reform which they hope to
see inaugurated is through the medium
of the democratic party, and I think
very many of the solid farmers, who
were lead off two years ago, see their
mistake now and will not let Tom
Watson aud a few other office seekers
fool them again.”—Constitution.
Mr. Dave Fields Dead.
It is with much regret this week that
we are called upon to chronicle the
death of Mr. I). T. Fields, which oc
curred at his home on the Bledsoe
place, just north of McDonough, last
Tuesday morning at C o’clock, after au
illness of several weeks with typhoid
fever.
The death of Mr. Fields is an unus
ually sad one. lie had about recover
ed from his first attack of sickness, and
had been dismissed by his physician,
when he relapsed and lived only a few
days. He was an honest, hard-work
ing man, and had the highest esteem of
all who knew him. A wife and three
children who were dependent upon
him for support aud protection, are left
to mourn his death, and to them go
out the tender sympathies of many
friends.
The remains were carried to Mt.
Carmel Wednesday morning for in
termeut, where they were laid to rest
iu the presence of a large concourse
of relatives and friends who gathered
to pay the last sad tribute, Rev. T. J.
Bledsoe performing the burial ceremo
ny.
Peace to his ashes.
In Memory of Miss Kssie Taney.
On last Wednesday morning as the
sun was lighting up the eastern horizon
with all of its glory and spleudor, and
when everything seemed calm and se
rene, the spirit of Miss Essie Laney
took its everlasting flight from these
low lands of sorrow, troubles and dis
app intments, and mingled its way into
that celestial city not made with hands
eternal in the skies, there to forever
basque in the suushiue of a Savior’s
love, and with loved ones who have
gone before.
Essie is gone. Oh, how sad ; only
a little while ago she was in the enjoy
ment of good health, and bid fair to
live a long time, and had just passed
her sixteenth birthday. But, Alas!
Alas ! That dreaded disease, consump
tion, claimed her for its victim just as
she was entering into the bloom of
womanhood. She was aware of the
fact some time before she died that she
would soon leave this world, and told
those around her bedside that she was
ready and willing to go. No more will
loved ones by whom she was surrounded
on earth hear her calm, kind and lov
ing voice. No more will she lend a
helping hand in the daily avocations
of life; her journey’ls at an end on this
earth. The great God of the world
knew best and called her home. No
doubt she is standing on that golden
shore, beckoning for father and mother
to come, calling loved ones to come,
pleading for frieuds to come to her.
Can you meet her ? Oh ! gentle read
er, do you feel that you would be ready
for the messenger of death to come ?
If you are not ready for the call when
he comes, where will you be; Oh,
Where ?
Now to father, mother, loved ones
and all: live so that you can meet her
in heaven when that great day shall
come. She is not dead, but sleepeth,
and when the last loud trumpet shall
sound and you have beeu faithful to
the end, yon can all go shouting home
to glory as an unbroken family circle,
there to be with Essie forever and for
ever.
Death and sickness here beset us,
But they shall find no room
In the house of many mansions
When Jesus calls us home.
We have seasons here of trouble,
And doubt, and fear, and gloom,
But they never more can reach u?
When Jesus calls us home.

j A (Question of Interest at This Season
of the Year.
The jute bagging question just at
this time, when farmers are looking
forward to the cotton crop, is an inter
esting one to merchants who deal in it,
as well as to consumers who wrap their
cottou in it.
In this connection, we reproduce the
following from the Atlanta Journal :
“The geueral opinion gathered from
talks with the dealers is that there will
be more jute bagging sold this season
thau last, as the cotton crop will be
much larger.
The price of jute bagging has ad
vauced over the price of last year, and
that fact iu itself bas caused quite a
flutter of interest among all classes.
Some of them claim that the jute
tiust has caused the iucrease in price,
and some deny this, giving as a roason
that many factories have shut down
causing a shortage iu the amount pro
duced and consequently a rise iu the
price.
Last year cotton ties sold for $1 a
bundle, enough to bind between five
and six bales.
Bagging sold for one to two cents a
yard less than it does this year.
This year it will sell for 75 and 80
cents a bundle, much less than last
year’s prices.
Bagging that weighs one and three
quarter pounds to the yard is selling at
6 3 4 to 7 cents, two pound bagging is
selling at from 7 1 4 to 7 1 2 cents and
2 1-4 pound bagging is selling at 7 3 4
aud 8 cents a yard.
These prices are about a half a cent
higher than they were earlier in the
season.
“Bagging today,” said Mr. Oglesby,
of the firm of Oglesby & Meador, “is
cheap, although it is higher*than it was
last year as then it was selling at an
extremely low price.
“There has been a great deal of talk
about high prices of bagging this year,
but they are not sustained as bagging
this year is selling for the same as it
sold for in 1891 and 1892.”
“There is no cause,” said Mr. Stuart
Woodson, “for this outcry against ju'e
bagging. There is not a mill in this
country manufacturing it that has paid
any dividends to its stockholders within
the last three years. At the present
price only a legitimate profit is made
over the cost of the raw material, when
the expense of manufacturing is taken
into consideration. I have recently
returned froth the east and find that
there is no inclination to put bagging
at unreasonable prices. The demand
has been heavy owing to the closing of
so many mills during the past few
years. A majority of the mills have
closed, and with a nine million bales
crop in sight and not enough bagging
to cover it, it is perfectly natural that
the price should be higher. That in
my judgement has caused the advance
in price, as I do not believe there is
any corner on jute bagging and it is
ustless to talk about it.”
Mr. J. E. Maddox differs with Mr
Woodson for he says the American
Bagging Company controls the make
and is able to dictate prices. He
thiuks this trust has run the prices up.
He is ol the opinion that they will be
higher as from present indications the
cotton crop will be larger enough to
make a tremendous demand for bag
ging-
Mr. Maddox referred to the sugar
sacks which are now on the market to
take the place of jute bagging aud said
some merchants were inclined to han
die them in preference to bagging.
Mr. J. J. Russell is the Atlanta
broker who is handling these sugar
sacks.
He showed a Journal reporter a lit
ter from the house foi which he sells
it, iu which it was stated that the re
cent publications that sugar sacks would
not be accepted was gotten up by the
jute trust to keep the trade from hand
ling the sacks.
The trust, he says, wants this done
so that it can advance the price.
This seems very plausible as the
sugar sacks are sold for 3 3-4 cents for
the 1 3-4 pounds, and 4 1 4 cents for
the two pounds.
Mr. John Hallman says that pricis
are some higher, but more bugging will
be sold this year on account of the crop
being larger.
‘ One reason of the high prices,” said
he, “is that there was a prospect for
free bagging which caused some of the
factories to shut down. This made the
supply short, and as the demaud was
very heavy naturally the prices went
up. Even at the present price of bag
ging there is a handsome profit to the
farmer. One hundred yards of bagging
costs him 57.50. That hundred yards
will weigh two hundred pounds. It is
put or. cotton and at the low price of
6 12 cents the farmer gets $ 13.00 for
the bagging that cost him $7.50. So
you see he has no cause to complain at
the price of bagging.”

’Tis sad (o think of Little Gladys,
The joy of our household pride;
Gladys, our darling baby—
Alas! She sickened and died.
Oh! why did you leave us so early,
Leave us to bloom in the garden above,
Enriched bv God’s holy wisdom,
Enshrined by llis holy love.
We miss thee, ‘ darling baby,”
Our home is so gloomy ami dark;
If you were just here with us
There would be no breaking of heart.
The cradle, little darling—
When we turn to this. Oh! then
W c wish for our angel baby
And think ot what might have been.
Thou hast goue to join our loved ones,
Who had already gone before;
Wasn't that a glorious victory,
That meeting on the shore?
Soon our feet wilj pass the portals,
Soon our life will pass away,
We'll meet you there in glory,
“In that land of perfect day.”
