thus transfer.
These flowers were both precious
and costly, having been bought to

thus rob from both the living and the

Death of Little Fannie Lou.
Fannie was the youngest child of

of this sweet little child was dismissed

Membranous croup, after several days
of its fatal work, resulted in the sad
death of this lovely little child. The
tread of her little feet and the sweet
prattle other now still tongue will be

It b. it g g» i.erallv understiA>d ibat
Vir. Tboiiixs 1). Slmrxrt would be a
Candida 1; tor senator from this die
trict, and that the people would like to
know bis views 011 certain curreut is
sues, The Weekly publishes the fol
lowing interview with him.
He was asked as to what platform
he wi uld run on. Mr. Stewart said:
‘•1 am a Democrat ‘to the manner
horn,’ and of c urse will abide by the
Democratic platform.”
“How do you stand on the money
question?”
“1 am for more money—that is, 1
am opposed to any contraction of the
currency, but believe that the govern
ment should gradually increase our
per capita circulation.”
“What are your views on the silver
question?”
“Why, lam a bimetalist. I believe
in the use of both silver aud gold, with
out any discrimination against either
metal.”
“But you know it is said that you
are against the free coiuage of silver?”
“No, 1 am in favor of free co’nage
if it will give us more mouey.
Now I am this way on the
free coinage question: Aj you know,
more than one-third of all our curren
cy is silver. A great many people
overlook this, because they assume
that actual silver dollors represent all
our silver currency, when the fact of
the matter is, a very large proportion
of our paper money (which people
very often regard as greenbacks) are
simply silver certificates. Now, these
silver certificates are not promissory
notes on the government at all; they
are only certificates of deposit repre
senting so many silver dollars, which
are already coiued, and are ready tc
be paid out when called for, whereas
the bulk of our gold aud gold certifi
cates are held by Eastern bankers
And at present the metal in a gold
dollar is actually worth double the
metal in a silver dollar anywhere in
the world where you put them on their
intrinsic merits; hut the United States
government has expressly declared
(1 refer you to the act of congress of
November, 1893 ) that it is the policy
of the United States to maiutain both
gold and silver on an equal parity, by
such safeguards of legislation as will
insure the equal purchasing aud debt
paying power of both dollars (silver
aud gold) at all times and anywhere.
Now, under this act silver is as good as
gold, and is a legal tender just the
same as gold, and we people of the
South have just as good money in a
silver certificate as our Eastern friends
have in their gold certificates.
“Now we come to the main issue
It is claimed that if the government
permits the free and unlimited coinage
of silver (which means that the whole
world may put the'r silver metal into
American silver dollais) that then the
United States could not keep them as
good as gold dollars, because under
free coinage both dollars would stand
on their merits alone, and that silver
dollars would be worth their metal
value only (now 50 cents) and no
more, and that all our silver and silver
certificates would lose half its purchas
ing value, and that of necessity one
gold dollar would be worth as much as
two silver dollars. On the other hand,
it is claimed that if the United States
will permit the free and unlimited coin
age of silver at the present ratio, that
this will cause silver metal to advance
to such an extent that the metal in a
silver dollar will be worth a dollar in
trinsically (or on its merit), and in
support of this it is alleged that any
man would be a fool to take less than
a dollar for 412) grains of silver (this
being the weight of a silver dollar),
when he could just step to the miuts
and have it coined into a dollar.
“Now I have stated the question
fairly, as I understand it, and I confess
candidly that if this last stated propo
sition is a good one, and can be main
tained, then I am for the free and un
limited coinage of silver at a ratio of
16 to 1.”
‘•But you know, Mr. Stewart, some
say you are a 'gold bug,’ and that it is
to your interest to have contraction of
our currency.”
“Well, any man who has reason
enough to go in out of a shower of rain
ought to know better than that. I
have no dealings with the government,
nor in government securities, and if
government securities were to double
n value it would not help me a nickle,
for I have none. As I understand, a
gold bug is one who believes in the
yellow stuff and is anxious to
exchange it for government bonds, so
that if a depreciated currency should
come he would be benefitted and the
balance of us hurt, Ou the other hand
the majority of what little accumula
lions I have saved by twenty-five
years hard work and economy, is in
vested right here in IleDry county
lands, some of which are rented, bal
ance sold on long time at seven and
eight per cent, interest, to poor men,
who are trying to get a home; and I
<• ant to see them succeed, because if
ihey do, I will get pay for the land,
with iuterest, and cau buy other land
and l elp some other poor man pay for
a home. On the other hand, if money
is contracted, and cotton goes down,
thesH people cau neither pay for the
land nor the interest;- and lands are
worth nothing to me if I can’t get
anything out of them. And if I favor
ed contraction of our currency in any
way, dou’t it look like 1 would simply
be a fool for the want of sense?”
“How do you stand on State banks?”
“I am strongly iu favor of State
banks. It the ten per cent, tax is re
moved, so wa could have State banks
of issue, iu my judgment the whole
financial question would be solved, as
far as the South is concerned. For in
stance, right here in Henry county, a
number of our citizens could associate
themselves together and make their
lands a Dads of security, and issue
enough money to supply the needs of
our county, aud it would be as good as
silver aud gold; and if a little financial
flurry springs up in New York or Bos
ton, it would not affect us, but we
would go on having prosperous times.
We should try to get this ten per cent,
tax repealed; then let our legislature
give us a safe State bank law, eucour
age the manufacture of cotton right
here at home, cut off all foolish and
extravagaut appropriations and wo will
soon he on the road to better times—
for what is to one man’s interest in
Georgia is to every man’s interest in
Georgia, and I am anxious to see the
whole State prosper.”
“Aud you think you will make the
race for Senator?”
“I know of nothing to the contrary
now. A host of friends from all over
the county, aud quite a number from
DeKalb and Gwinnett, say they want
to give me their cordial support. And
by the way, I desire to thank The
Weekly aud some of its correspond
ents for iheir very complimentary ex
pressions.”

JULIA,
Farmers all down to business pre
paring their farms.
Mr. W. B. Kelly is one of our most
exemplary farmers. He has been for
sometime repairing and making new
ditches and terraces.
Mr. John It. Green is not to be left
on the terracing business. He lias
been hauling and putting rock in all
the broken places.
The people of this vicinity enjoyed
a very pleasant sociable at the resi
dence of Mr. and Mrs. George Moi,s
Mouday night.
Mr. Joe J. Smith has become the
champion horse swapper of this victn
ity, making two swaps in one day, and
it was not a good day for swapping
either.
Mr J. W. Wilson has just com
pleted a Dew addition to bis dwelling,
which adds to its appearance very
much.
Mr. M. W. Wilson is now wearing
a very pleasant smile—it’s a girl.
The many friends of Mr. J. W.
Green showed their kindness to him
by putting the top on hia new baru
Tuesday. This is fulfilling the com
mandments, “Love thy neighbor as
thyself.” Also “Do unto others as
you would have them do unto you ”

Mr. A. C. Norman, of Ola, was 'ooking

Her T, K. Kendall, 01 Locust Grove

call in the afternoon, preached again at the

I learn that the number of scholars in
tegular attendance at Prof W. T. McMil

Pretty good for a country school.
Not long since Tits Weekly and some of
the correspondents note boasting about
their good neighbors. We would have no
cause to envy them on this line if all our
neighbors would keep up their stock as
some of them do.
Mr. Sam Austin lias been appointed to
the honorable position of road overseer and
Mrs. Rural refuses to bo comforted because
I w ill probably be the only Clcvelamlitc on
Mr. Austin's list.
1 have often dreamed of the glory of great
journalists, such as Horace Clreely, Charles
A. Dana, James Gordon Rennet and White
law Reid, and us often read of the miseries
and privations of editors of country week
lies in their pathetic appeals to delinquent
subscribets and people who want free ad
vertising. So it is no wonder that I have
long wished for an opportunity to take a
peep into (lie home life of an editor. While
in McDonough one day recently this long
wished for opportunity came, when the
mainspring of The Weekly invited me to
accompany him and one of his “devils,”
Mr. Robert L. Duke, home to dinner. The
perfect agreement which seemed to exist
between the editor and the devil caused inc
some misgivings of course, hut it was not
my business then, uor is it my purpose now,
to account for that agreement; so I risked
all and accepted the invitation. On reach
ing the gate we were greeted by three bright
faced, cheery looking little Weekly sprouts
—a girl and two hoys; and on entering the
house confronted by Mas. Weekly, than
whom McDonough nor other town can
boast of no mote accomplished lady nor
more hospitable hostess. When called to
the dining room I was soon convinced that
if my dreams of tlie pleasant surroundings
of the editors of great city journals were as
mythical ns the stories I have read of the
miseries of country weekly editors, they
would not be worth dreaming any more. In
tlie rear yard of the editor's home was a
witness of the fact that he does not depend
entirely on delinquent subscribers and
dead-beat udvcrliscrs lo keep that gaunt
looking, voracious animal, known as the
wolf, front eutering his house. This wit
ness was an extra fine fat porker that difl
ow iib any connection with the newspaper
business, and shows his utter contempt of
the same by turning tip his nose at the edi
tor and his family and correspondents.
