WEEKLY »■» TIMES, ltv FOUCHK d JOHNSON. Entered at the postoffice nt McDonough Ga., as second-class mail matter. McDonough. Ga., March 13, 1891. Col. John C. Rutherford, of Macon, the great lawyer who so faithfully de fended Tom Woolfolk, died suddenly in Florida a few days ago. The latest reports are that Northen- Livingston hostilities have been suspen ded, while negotiations are being made by friends for complete reconciliation* This will be good news to ail friends of the order. Col. Thomas Hardeman died at his home in Macon la3t Friday, from pa ralysis of the respiratory oigaus. Col. Hardeman was one of Georgia’s noblest sons, auu will be mourned by the en tire State. A preparatory department of the Georgia School of Technology will be opened on the 1 Gth instant. A pplicants must be 16 yeats old and will be ad* mitted without examination. As coun ties not now represented in the school will be given the preference, we hope some of the boys of Henry will take advantage of this opportunity to obtain free a good education and at the same time learn a trade. For particulars write to Dr. I. S. Hopkins, president, Atlanta. The stubborn and aggravating dead lock in the Illinois legislature was bro ken Wednesday, and the brave and loy al Democrats of that body will receive the gratitude of their party throughout the Union. Moore and Cockrell, the two Farmers’ Mutual Beneficial Asso ciation- men, finally joined the Demo crats and brought about the result. Taubeneck, the other member of that order, voted for his candidate to the last. The closing scenes were accom panied with the wildest demonstrations of enthusiasm. The next meeting of tho Georgia Teachers’ Association will be held at Brunswick from April 28th to May Ist. All railroads will give one fare for the round trip. The hotels will give re duced rates and all lady delegates will be entertained free of charge if they send their address to Mr. W. F. Penuiman, chairman of the reception committee. An educational exhibit will be held, and all schools are invited to contribute. Brunswick will entertain the teachers royally, as her hospitality is famous. They will give the visitors boat excur sions, oyster roasts, clam bakes, etc. All teachers who desire to attend will be furnished full information by Prof. E. B. Smith, LaGrauge. The Floods uml Effects. The daily papers have been filled this week with reports from the floods in every direction. While not so dam aging as some former visitations, they are general and wide-spread. In our immediate section the waters have interfered considerably with trav el and the transportation of mails. A washout occurred on the East Tenues see road above Atlanta, and from Ju liette to Macon the track in places was covered so deep with water as to en tirely prevent the passage of trains for two or three days. The only commu nication had up to Wednesday was bv means of a train from Atlanta down to the overflowing waters and return. It is said to be decidedly the worst season known in forty years, and that crops have not been so backward in that length of time. The backward ness is not confined to any section of the State, but it seems that north Geor gia is not so well off as south Georgia in that respect. From all the information gathered the conclusion is that the cotton crop of 1881 will fall back to the figures of 1889, and if the present weather con tinues, it may fall even lower. The consolation of shorter crops is higher prices; then better figures may prevail next winter than have been paid this year. State of Ohio, City of Toledo/ Lucas County, j" ss Frank J.

Guar an teed. !FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS. SNAPPING SHOALS. That frazzled-out subject, the weath er, is now almost the sole topic of con versation. And truly, it has become monotonous to a degree. We can al most tell what were Noah’s feelings during the forty days shower that is said on Biblical authority to have vis ited the world in his day. Jesting aside, however, the matter is beginning to become serious. Prepa rations for the new crop are practically i nil ; and if tho reign of Jupiter Plu- I vius docs not soon cease, it does not need the spirit of prophecy to forecast | a very short crop for 1891. But your sci il>e is of the opinion that the peo ple are worse frightened than injured ; for by force of circumstances it once happened that on the first of March he had not run a furrow towards any preparation for the ensuing crop, and yet he that year, 1873, made a fine crop—in fact, the best lie ever made. Still, if it were practicable, he would not advise any one to delay beginning farming operations until that time, as he is of the opinion, though he does not claim to be a champion farmer, that early and complete preparation is a potent factor in deciding whether the credit or debit side of the farmer’s an nual ballance sheet shall predominate. In the light of experience and common sense he would always advise as early and thorough preparation as circum stances will permit, taking his chance with the balance of his co-laborers that the early and latter rain will, by a Di vine Providence, be so distributed as to secure the greatest good to the great est number. Much to the disgust of the purties who have proposed to get up a corner by witholding their cotton from the market, the price of the fleecy staple still rules low and languid. The pe riod is rapidly approaching, when most of those who have been holding, for an advance, will be compelled to turn loose whether the prices are satisfac tory or not. This fact recalls the question whether it is not better, one year with another, to get cotton out as rapidly as possible, and market it at once, regardless of prices and proba bilities. Some who have made the ex periment, and others who have clearly observed the course of the markets for a number of years, claim that this plan is productive of the best results. They claim that the difference in tho weight of early and late picked cotton will, in most instances, produce a balance for the farmer on the right side of the ledger. But theorizing is little apt to influence the decision of the farmer who, having made a crop of cotton at a cost of nine cents per pound, feels that to sell it at less than that will be sure to put him out of pocket, and that the chapter of accidents may pro duce a favorable change. Hence, all the teachings of wisdom and experience to the contrary notwithstanding, he cannot make up his mind to “let ’er slide.” But little of general interest has transpired during the past week. That pest, the grippe, appears to have about run its course, and the people no long er go about sneezing their toe nails loose. Ihe matrimonial excitement has measurably subsided, as we have not had a wedding during tho past week, which makes us feel that there is some thing amiss; as they have happened with such unfailing regularity hereto ore - Claudius. Superfluity of Advice. It is amusing, if not funny, to read all that is addressed to the farmer in the way of advice. It conies from all directions, sources and ranks—from country pedagogues and political dem agogues, and many others, who are wonderfully considerate of the farmers interests—in fact, there sympathy is superabundant and inexhaustable. “Speak not in the ears of a fool, for he w ill despise the wisdom of thy words.” Whether it is through obstinacy or ig norance that the farmer pays so little attention to this ever prevailing com modity, t>r whether it is because of the cheapness of it, we are not able to say. We think, however, that the farmer "is less chargeable with idiocy and asinin ity than many of the monkey-headed asses who set themselves up as dicta tors to men that have more experience, wider observation, and perhaps three times the intelligence they themselves have. There is no doubt about the farmer needing relief, lie needs it in more ways than one. He needs relief from this continual pouring in of advice, and we could advise him how to get it, hut tlia, is what we are talking about and we know lie does not want any more. If the farmer does not escape all the dangers that beset his pathway, and is not relieved of all his oppressions, it will not be because he has not been faithfully warned and advised. It is evident beyond questioning that advice is not so repulsive to any one as to the farmer, for none have been so faithful in repudiating it; especially that which is good. And now we would say to those who have been giving good coun sel that they had as well hold up, or hold in. and give the poor, burdened farmer a rest. Hut to those asses mentioned above its no use to say any thing, for they know a thing or two themselves, and will continue their striving to attain higher degrees in ass hood, and might as well attain it oue way as another. The reflection, “What an ass am I,” does uot satisfy their ambition. So just let them go it —we all need diversion, and one of the diversions of sensible men is to laugh at the ignorance of others. S. The Best Result. Every ingredient employed in produ cing Hood's Sarsaparilla is strictly pure, aud is the best of its kind it is possible to buy. All the roots aud herbs are caiefully selected, personally exatniued. and only the best retained. So that from the time of purchase until Hood's Sarsaparilla is prepared, everything is carefully watched with a view to attain ing the be-t result. Why don’t you try it? MeMI'LI.KN’S. As you have no correspondent in this part, 1 will try and give you a few dots occasionally. Every liody suffering with blues, on account of so much bad weather. Roads iu a bad fix, and getting worse. irome of our farmers say they guess they will have to plant guano and cot ton seed at the same time this year, as it is getting so late and nothing done iu the way of farming yet. Mr. R. I). Cornwell is teaching a flourishing school at this place. Mr. Cornwell is a good teacher, and is giv ing general satisfaction. If you want goods cheaper than you can get them iu Atlanta, call on clever William Elliott. Our young people enjoyed a hop at the residence of B. J. Morgan last Tuesday night. Mr. J. W. Smith went up to the Gate City Sunday. Dr. Gideon is a good one when it comes to a mule trade. Mr. T. F. Owensby, of Rockdale county, was mingling with his many friends, near here, last week. We iotice that clever Sitn Smith has(?) turned out his mustache. Mr. Dwight Green contemplates building ou his premises at an early date. Prayer meeting at every second Sunday night. 'The latest arrival in this district is W. J. Blau kingship, Jr. It is need less to remark that he favors his pa. Miss Sallie Bright, of Sunny Side, is visiting her sister, Mrs. B. J.

Harper, is again on foot, after a severe spell of la grippe. March 4th. Bill. ROCKY CREEK. News scarce this week, rain not so scarce and mud more plentiful. A great many of our farmers have not sowed their oats yet. The farmers will not get to prepare their land for planting as they would like. There has not been any guano put iu yet. The recent cold weather has dam aged the fruit crop to some extent. There has been no gardening done as yet. The lluin|iton Farmers’ Alliance will meet only once a month hereafter. It will meet, heucelorth, every third Saturday. The manager of the Alliance ware house, at Griffin, told us recently that it would pay a divideu of fifty per cent, this year. The majority of the Hampton Aihancemen have their cot ton there. Miss Carrie Dupree is teaching a flourishing school near Mr. T. I). Weems. J. R. Price, of Flippen, was iu our community this week. Messrs. 11. H. Greer and J. 11. Mc- Vicker disposed of their surplus cot ton this week. The farmers that have hired hands at ten dollars per mouth for the pres ent year, have lost money on them so far. The neighbors of this immediate community have built a bridge across Martin creek. It is one of the best bridges in this section, and speaks well for the community. It is sixty feet long and above high water mark. There is one or two more bridges need ed, especially one across Towaliga creek, but we would like to have the couuty help us on them. It is the on ly road leading to Hampton, and it is quite dangerous when the water is up. (Several of our farmers had their cotton seed put out for fertilizers, and not having them covered they were washed away. Abuam. .March 7th. OAK HILL. March has come, with its usual amount of wind, cold rain and mud. We lmd all sorts of weather in Feb ruary. W onder who can report the first peach bloom. I can report blooms on the 18th of Feburary. lour correspondent at Snapping Shoals struck the right note when he advised farmers to plant less cotton, “Old Guard’’ to the contrary notwith standing. I suppose he is able to live at the extremely low price cotton is now selling at. Perhaps he don’t re member saying once in my presence that he could bear a cotton crop with ground peas. We are of the opinion that the peach crop lias gone the way of the world since tke recent cold spell. in conclusion 1 will say to all far mers that read the good, old Weekly to make enough at home to supply their wants, and then raise, as a sur plus crop, all the cotton you can. March 4th. Kenmbkew. MONT ST. JEAN. \N e bad the hardest rain of the sea son Sunday, and the water courses were much swollen. Our public roads are in a lamentable condition. We are in hopes the road commissioners will see that the roads are worked as the law requires. Mr. A Payne is on the sick list. There were no religious service at Mt. Carmel last Sunday, on accouut of the inclemency of the weather. Mike Wallace is oue of the best A 1 i&ncemen iu the county, and we think he ought to explain to the members of his lodge bow to buy shoes so as to make the merchants ktep them half soled with out extra charge. Jim Barrett has the nobbiest turn out in this community. Mr. A. V. McVicker has made an other addition to his already handsome dwelling. Cards out for a wedding in this community in the near futute.

It has been a long time since I push ed my pen to scribble anything for your paper. I thought I would recover from the effects of the grasp that la grippe had wounded we with, so that I could tell you of my release from confinement. The monster has had me at his will for about three months, and for the last fifteen days he has sorely afflicted me; and this foggy morning, muffled up and sitting by the fire, I could not refrain from telling you of it. I do wish the sun would shine out warm, and perhaps Mrs. S. would per mit me to stir out a little. I am os tired, I have such a small space as prison bounds. But I reckon busi ness goes on as well without mo as with me. Windom is dead, Sherman is dead, and no change in the weather, sun, moon or stars, or railroads. Per haps Gould will have a raiiroad sched ule soon. Sherman made some indel lible tracks ihrough here 26 years ago. I see some of them to-day at my house. Though they are wearing out some, his iron heel is still, and his torch is (lone singeing. W e ]|, the past is gone, the present is with us, the future we must look to and prepare for. To-morrow a new Congress will meet —we look to the future for better laws, for a reduc tion of taxes, lor more money. Will it lie that we will realize it. We look ed for economical laws to be enacted by our last legislature. We got some very good, but the tax payers paid about $4,000 more for it than for the same period of legislation the year be fore. We expect betterments. Let us look in the future to the interest of soldiers’ widows. See to it that they get their pension money without pay ing from 25 to 50 per ct. to get their claims established, when they can get their money personally with but little trouble. Some lawyers are now standing with glaring eyes and outstretched arms looking for a case to grab at least 25 per ct. of the widow’s money. I heard of one case where a lawyer told a wid ow it would pay her well to give one half to have her pension collected, that by not taking the proper steps the mat ter might be delayed, and she would piobably never get it. I say turn a deaf ear, widows, to all that. And, Mr, Editor, I hope you will keep them pos ted on the matter until tliev get their money. Probably some have got it. The farmers have long faces, almost iu mask. Corn a dollar a bushel, cot ton from sto 9c. Well, who caused it ? Fifty bales to the mule man. For ty bales to the mule man. Thirty, twenty, fitteen hales to the mule man. That is who caused it and what caused it. Look to the 26th chapter of Pro verbs, 27th verse, and read the penalty, “Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein, and he that rolleth a stone, it will re turn upon him.” There is no perhaps and maybe about it, it’s positively will and shall. In 1865-6 cotton brought S2OO per bale. How came that? Sup ply aud increased dt mand. There was more provision in 1865 than there is to-day. No one “bonded” for his'sup plies that year. It was help one an other. My book shows that 1 killed 18 hogs in the winter of ’64 and ’65, just after Sherman made those tracks and before peace was made, that weighed 3,700 pounds. Jus: as soon as ’66 came in there was a rush for cotton. Just then the idiotic farmers eu mass began digging pits and rolling stones, and thousands of thousands of poor, degraded, unprotected and scorn ed farmers and laboring men Lave fallen in and are loaded down so heav- ly that there is no more use for mouii tains and rocks to fall upon to hide them from the face of monopoly and other innumerable oppressions. Come, alliancetnen, let us come together. Come in, you laboring tnen ; come in, you cotton producers of the South, let us hear your purposes of relief for the masses. Solomon says, “without coun sel purposes are disappointed, but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.” Our purpose of relief is, plant more corn, wheat, oats, potatoes, field and groundpeas, sorghum and su gar cane ; raise cows, horses and mules, hogs for yourself and to sell; have butter to sell instead of buy; In short, raise something to sell of all kinds of picduce. it would be better to have something of all to sell at a low price than to have all to buy at a high price. Another purpose of relief is, plant less cotton. But oh! my, how can 1 ? says everybody. 1 got so little for my crop of last year that 1 lacked 20 bales to come out. lam compelled to plaut more this year. Well, you see that the purpose of planting less cotton, when it is the determined purpose to plant more, is hard to overcome. But let me ask you how many bales you made last year ? You say you made 60 bales. Well, don’t you know how you can get 20c for your crop of 1891 ? I : can tell you. Just make 30 bales. That at 20c would be $3,000. At 8c your 60 bales would be $2,400. Reduce yout cotton crop one half, and the above result is certain. The above calculation shaws that you have S6OO more for your 30 boles than for your 60, wluch goes to make up for your deficit of 30 bales. Every farmer "from two bales up to hundreds can obtain the same result. Room for no more. Robert Sakdifer. Indian Creek, March 2. Save Money And Suffering. • One feature of the thousands of testi monials that have been given iu behalf of S. S. 8. is remarkable. Iu numbers of instances it is related that a great deal of time aud money have been spent iu a vain effort to secure relief from disease in theusuil way. A knowl edge of the virtut s of Swift’s Specific would have saved the time and the money, to say nothing of the prevention of the suffering. There need be no such mistakes made now. The great blood purifier is for sale by druggists everywhere, and the S. S.

Dyspepsia Makes the lives of many people miserable, and often leads to self-dcstrnction. Distress alter eayng, sour stomach, sick headache, heartbufn, loss of appetite, a faint, “ all gone ” feeling, bad taste, coated tongue, and irregu _ larity of tho bowels, are Distress some of the more common After symptoms. Dyspepsia does - t. not get well of itself. It taring requires careful, persistent attention, and a remedy like Hood’s Sarsa parilla, tfhieh acts gently, yet surely and efficiently. It tones the stomach and other organs, regulates the digestion, creates a good appetite, and by thus Sick overcoming the local symp-. . , toms removes the sympa-Ho3ts3Ctl© thetio effects of the disease, banishes the headache, and refreshes the tired mind. “ I have been troubled with dyspepsia. I had but little appetite, and what I did eat Honrt- distressed me, or did me "* an " little good. In an hour bum after eating I would expe rience a faintness, or tired, all-gone feeling, as though I had not eaten anything.
