To Our Home People.
\,..v that, McDonough has taken on
n. w life, with encouraging prospects
aheaJ, Tut Wllkli begs to enter at
|i mt one earnest plea to our home
people, not only of the town, hut. of
the surrounding community for the
good of the whole.
ft is simply to urge the oft-repeated
counsel to “ f rade at home.”
That “self preservation is the first
law of nature,” none can deny, and for
any town or community to prosper in
business, it is important above all else
that the people keep their own trade
at home, as far as possible, and thus
secure the benefit of their own money
among themselves.
We now have enlarged mercantile
facilities, bj which our people are en
abled to procure almost any class of
goods desired—and at prices even low
er, in many instances, than those of
the large cities.
To maintain these advantages it is
necessary, absolutely, to support home
enterprise.
Everybody has a chance at money
in circulation at home. You help
yourself by keeping the money you
spend at home. Buy everything possi
ble you need at home, and give your
self a chance to again pocket the mon
ey you have spent. When carried
off it is entirely gone.
Thu prospect is bright if only im-.
proved, and with oue accord our peo
ple should lend a helping hand and en
courage these things —every enterprise
started up in the community.
It is the one true spirit of progress
and prosperity.
Dinner anil Speaking.
Locust Gtove, it seems, is to be the
place of political gatherings this year,
so far as Henry county is concerned
On Wednesday the 9th inst., the Pop
nlists of Henry, Spalding and Butts
had an al! day picuic.
Aud now the “Grove" is to be the
scene of another political gathering.
On Wednesday, the 25. h inst, the
Democrats will have a rally. They
will have a big crowd and speakers to
iute e t them. The Hon. Robert L
Berner, ti e gifted and eT queut young
barr’ster of Forsyth will be present to
instruct anti entertain. Ilou. Charles
L. Bartlett, congressman from the
Sixth district, will be present to tell
home things that Mr. A. A. Murphey
forgot (?) to mention in his oration last
week. lion. W. Y. Atkinson, the
best governor of the best state in the
Union, lias been invited, and while be
is pressed for time, it is quite likely lie
will lie present, many haviug expressed
a desire to hoar him.
From the number invited there will |
be such a display of oratory as is sel
do in heard in Henry. The people
want it. They are eager to be iustruct
ed by real nieu—men who understand
the country’s situation ami its needs,
aud who dare to tell the citizen the
real condition of affairs without con
cealiug anything. Every citizen in the
county should coroe and hear, aud
then bt his own judge.
The good people of the “Grove”
have extended an invitatiou to the
public generally, and they may be
assured of a large attendance.
«
The Drouth Still Continues.
Tins gr> at drouth and hot wave still
continues in this section.
The mercury still ranges about 'J2
in the middle of the day, though the
nights are cooler
\V« have now had about six months
of continuous summer, while the drouth
ha- bmi on for about two mouths.
A Missouri exchange griuds out the
following: “In church or in state it is
rule or be ruled; in courtship or in mar
riage, it is fool or be fooled; in logic or
law. it is nick or he nicked; in gamb
ling or in trade, ii i* trick or he tricked;
in reaty or in war. it is heat or be
l at i ; in the struggle of life, it is eat
or I*- a'eo; in polities, it is crow or
ta ■ :it newspaper life, it is !o
\uur u*u t uH’."
T’l S* t li t W .
Our good populist IrieinJs, or at
least some of them, in their canvass
tell us that we democrats ate not hound
by our primary election, or nomination.
I don't know 7 what their idea of moral
obligation is, but our candidates were
all brought out according to the old
party usage, aud itaccnrs to us that
they are an exceptionally good set all
round, State, district and county, such
it seems to us that everyboby would j
gladly vote for, whether they felt
hound or not; but iu our county poli
tics we held a primary, as far us we
know by common consent, open to all
voters who would abide its results and
were going to vote with the party, and
nearly two thousand voted. Very few
if any got their choice of candidates al!
round As for ourself, we git hardly
any, though iu some instances could
scarcely make a choice, for they wore
all good men; but now if there was any
thing to induce or even suggest that
we should go hack on our candidates,
which there is not, wo would feel more
honor bound to support those we
didn’t support iu primary than if we
had voted for them all ther«-; hut we
feel assured that the party is sufficient
ly interested to take care of our can
didates. But how is is with our popu
list friends, who are making this point?
wha*. is there to hind them so closely
to their candidates? Some of them are
not of their party, and others very un
like the men they have all along tieen
telling us ought to till the offices; and
we observed that the two speakers,
Messrs. Murphey and Mays, differed
widely about the liquor they would al
low. aud the manner of supplying it if
prohibition is the issue. So let us he
easy. We are surely as much bound
to our candidates as you are yours, and
have equally as much interest as you
have.
Aud now let all who can, attend the
democratic meeting at Locust Grove
on tlie 25th inst. Gome yourself and
biing your folks. La* all the candi
dates come with large dinner baskets,
and let all democrats and all populists
and all republicans come; and we hope
you will hear something interesting,
instructive and profitable. All ladies
are especially invited, and let all who
can, bring trunks, boxes and baskets,
as it is to he a basket dinner.

Luel'a is just a wide place in the road,

be Vice President of the United States
all the same. Mr. Graves speaks well
but he cuts a small figure in polirics in
