The country rejoices at the overthrow

Karl defeated Evans for United States
Senator by a good safe majority in the
race over there Tuesday.
All hail to old Arkansaw! She
heads the great democratic tidal wave
with the first brilliant victory—and her
modest sixty five thousand democratic
majority is a smiling lesponse to the
forty thousand of republican Vermont.
ilrilliaut and wordy is John Temple
Graves, hut fickle as the wind. Dis
appointed ambition is painfully shown
by his political course, along with some
other young and deluded aspirants for
public honors. From “dune goldbug”
to “September populist” is indeed a
sad break.
The first job Atlanta’s new sexton
will have will be to bury the political
ambitions of Blackburn, Branttan and
Uobb. Col. Leonidas will prepare the
corpses, and Tom Watson will furnish
the funeral oration.— Richland Paper.
Every now and then comes the an
nounce meut that reporters and others
are denied admission to the Fulton
county jail to see prisoners confined
therein. Judging from Will Myers’
case it is easier to get out of the Ful

It ha= been many a day since as
many thousand people flocked to hear
a public speaker as turn out to hear
Mr. Bryan. This means something.
These people do not gather to hear
him from curiosity.
The New York Journal, iu its Wash
ington correspondence, pays lion. Iloke
Smith, ex Secretary of the Interior, a
very high compliment. “The depart

the best head it ever had in the going
of Mr. Smith.”

TheVe has been no marked change iu

Late corn is poor and suffering from
the effects of drouth. The fodder is
drying up before the ear ripens, l’as

a slight improvement where rains have
fallen. Gardens have failed entirely,
Late gardens are being planted where
the grouud is iu proper condition.
While cotiou would be injured by much

In a recent letter to the manufactur

may he a pleasure to you to kuow the

Cotton nearly all open, and about
65 or 70 per cent of an average crop

Peas and po'atoes are almost a fail

or future one, if they are a thing at all.
The sick of this settlement have
about all recovered and the usual health
prevails.
A team driven by William Jenkins’

I learn that Mr. “Bud” Rivers has
recently taken up his abode in the up

Several people from this neighbor

church last Sunday.
Politics are quiet, every man of eve

If people who do not speak to mo are
benefited thereby they are welcome to
the bent fit, for certain I am that it
does me no harm, and “the Lord tnak

the remainder cf wrath will he re

Since the “Pops” have given “Bond”
for the appearance of Thomas D.
Stewart in the state senate, democrats
ol course will aid them in seemg that
Mr. Stewart appears promptly.
Democrats will also agree with the
pops that it is “Wright” fot'Gov. At

The readi rs of this paper will be i
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure iri all its stages, ami 1
that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to I
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being!
a constitutional disease, requires a con- j
stitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh |
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon tbe blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution ami assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its cuntive powers, that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for
any case that it fails to cure. Send for
