Entered at the postoffice at McDonough
Ga., as second-class mail matter.
McDonough. Ga., April 10, 1891
One by one the prominent actors in
the bloody drama that baptised the
hill tops of this fair Southhnd with
the heart’s blood of her chivalric and
patriotic sons are “passing over the
river,” until but few at present are
left us to honor and revere in life for
their many deeds of heroism, and hard
ships endured for their section’s sake.
The last numbered among the “silent
host” is that patri<*tic son of Georgia,
Gen. Lucius J. Gartrell, who died at
his home in Atlanta this week.
The year 1891 will, from present
appearances, be put down in the annals
of history as one containing many re
markable phenomenons and strange
and remarkable occurrences. The
latest and most remarkable that we
have heard of up to date is the resig
nation Ot a real, living Republican
Senator. Senator Edmunds, of Ver
mont, has resigned his seat in the up.
per house of Congress, his resignation
to take effect Nov. Ist, next. Nothing
short of the millennium would surprise
us now.
%
At the earnest solicitation of his
County Alliance, lion. W. K. 11. Sear
cy, of Spalding county, has announced
himself as a candidate for the offico of
President of the State Alliance. Mr.
Searcy has been closely connected
with the Alliance movement from its
incipiency, and has for several years
been tegarded as one of its strongest
supporters and most influential mem
bers. We will publish his circular ad
dress to the press setting forth his rea
sons for becoming a candidate and the
policy he will pursue if elected in our
next issue.
The Fruit Crop.
Snow and frost on the Gth of April.
Such a spell of weather has not oc
curred in this section in over twenty
years. It was ftared that the fruit
crop would, in consequence of the
heavy frost and freeze, be a complete
failure this year, but from all we can
gather from observation and inquiry
it seems that the damage has not been
so serious as was first apprehended.
Mr. P. J. Berckmans, Jr., of Augusta,
who is considered good authority on
this subject, expressed his opinion of
the situation as follows to a newspaper
man :
Fruit in low, damp places, has been
considerably injured, but on exposed
hillsides and dry places the damage
has not been great. Some blooms will
fall, but there will be ati abundance
left, uuless worse weather comes. Of
course we can’t tell the extent of the
damage until the sun comes out, and
the full effect of the frost is observed,
but you can rest satisfied that we will
have some fruit this summer uuless
there is an April breeze or heavier
frost than in the last few mornings.
Stand Your Ground.
When you make up your mind to
take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, do not be in
duced to buy some other preperation
instead. Clerks may claim that “ours
is as good as Hood's” and all that,
but the peculiar merit of Hood's Sarsa
parilla canuot be equalled. Therefore
have nothing to do with substitutes and
insist upon haviug Hood’s Sarsaparilla,
the liest blood purifier and building-up
medicine.
As to National Alliance Dues.
The following letter to the Secretary
of Henry County Alliance explains
itself to all mcml>ers of the order :
C. M. Speer,— McDonough, Ga.,—
Dear Sir and lira.: —Yours 3rd inst.
to hand. The dues to National Alli
ance is 5 cents per capita each year.
This we collect with the dues to State
Alliance for the quarter ending March
31st, each year. For the quarter just
ended you will remit this office ten
cents on each male member in good
standing ; for the other three quarters
iu the year you will remit 5 cents lor
each male member in good standing as
heretofore. This is levied and order
ed collected by Executive Committee.
Truly and fraternally,
R. L. Busks,
Secretary.
Bewureof Ointments for Catarrh that
contain Mercury,
as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell aud completely derange
the whole system when entente it
through the mucous surfaces. Such
articles should never be used except on
prescriptions from reputable physicians,
as the damage they will do is ten fold
to the good you can possibly derive
from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, man
ufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., To
ledo, 0., contains no mercury, aud is
taken internally, and acts directly up
on the blood aud mucous surfaces of
the system. In buying Hall’s Catarrh
Cure be sure you get the genuine. It
is taken internally, and made in Tole
do, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Co.
by druggists, price 75c.
per bottle.
A good many people are prejudiced
against patent medicines because some
they have used proved worthless. This
is wroug—each remedy, like each indi
vidual, should be judged upon their ow n
merits, not the demerits of others
Cheatham’s Tasteless Chill Tonic is a
remedy of sterling worth, lie fair and
give it a trial. Price 50 and 75 cents.

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS
LOCUST GROVH.
We are glad to see the warm and
sunny days coming again after having
had such an abundance of bad weather.
The Tussahaw -‘Hicks” has. prophe
sied a very wet spring and dry sum
mer.
Our school has devi loped into one of
the finest country schools in this section
of the State. We are informed by
Professor Williams that it now contains
above ninety students; this is mostly
caused by the splendid work of the
Professor and his accomplished assis
tant, Miss Blassingame.
The Locust Grove Rifles met for
their first drill Friday afternoon, and
several of the boy s who had never
heard a military command before seem
ed to pick up the movements very eac
ily. Your local can truthfully say
that he never saw a manlier looking
body of men than when he gazed into
the serried ranks of the Riflemen.
Capt. Williams is certainly the right
man in the right place, for what he un
dertakes is always a success.
Your local visited the singing at
Phillipi Sunday, and had the pleasure
of dining with Capt. W. W. Duffy, of
Tussahaw. We have often wondered
how the Capt. can continue of such di
minutive size with his good lady to pre
pare an abundance of such excellent
food as we had the honor to partake
of.
Mr. Robert Walker, of Hampton,
visited our town a few days since.
Major 11. B. Fletcher, of Jackson,
gave our town a shrot call on Friday
iast.
Dr. W. 11. Peek has just returned
from Macon, where he had been to
purchase a “Kentucky thoroughbred.”
The Doctor is certainly a fine judge of
horseflesh.
We were pleased to see the face of
our handsome young bachelor, Lonnie
Colvin at the singing last -Sunday.
AVe learn that Charlie Mahone, our
efficient depot agent, has embarked in
the pleasant and lucrative business of
raising flowers.
The oil mill at this place has closed
down for the season. This is one of
the many instances where farmers have
demonstrated their ability to run man
ufactories with as much success as they
can run plantations.
The East Teuuessee is certaiuly up
to its schedule for delaying mail, much
to the disapproval of our citizens.
We learn with much pleasure of the
convalescence of little Henry Grady,
an infant son of Mr. Hill Castellaw,
who bus been sick for some time past.
Our genial fellow townsman, Mr.
Alec Price, successor to Mr. Doc.
Smith, is engaged in building a splen
did residence for himself. All we
need is just a few more like him.
With success to The Weekly we
close. Eric.

and it is dollars to nickels that there
are not only a dozen men in the coun
ty who have any for sale, but there
are not fifty men in the couutv who
have any for home consumption.
If this is the case, and there is not a
doubt of it, upon what do our people
live? The melancholy truth must be
told that, at this time of year, ninety
per cent, of our population are afflicted
with an entire absence ol vegetables
from their hospitable boards, and bread
and meat are the staple articles in their
bill of fare, varied in some instances
by a little milk, butter, syrup anefv
sweet potatoes.
If we were not naturally the stoutest,
hardiest and healthiest people iu the
world, three generations of such a diet
would convert us into a nation of con
firmed dyspeptics. Even the convicts
in the various chain gangs throughout
the State have a greater variety and a
healthier diet than do most of our citi
zens.
Common sense as well as medical ex
perieuce having settled that a vegeta
ble ration being an indispensable neces
sity for the preservation of health, our
State authorities have made it obligato
ry upon all lessees of convicts that
they, the lessees, shall at short stated
intervals not only supply the convicts
with vegetables but shall also issue
them fresh meat. But while common
sense, as well as the dictates of human
ity, have compelled the issue to con
victs of a regular supply of vegetables
hi the best and most appropriate means
of preserving their health and vigor,
we assert, without fear of successful
contradiction, that for four months in
the year, seven-tenths of our people
never taste vegetables of their own
production. They are compelled, for
want of a little provident forethought,
and thw outlay of a little labor, to subsist
upon a diet but little, if any, superior
to that of the European pauper, whom
stern necessity compels to live as best
he may upon that which the exactions
of capital may have left him.
If r.ecessity operated in our case
there might, and would be, some ex
cuse for us ; but we have a soil and a
climate that enables us to produce ev
ery thing in the vegetable line that is
necessary for health or comfort of man
kind, and are therefore absolutely with
out any reasou or excuse why we do
not have as great a variety and as
healthful and palatable diet as any
people on the face of the planet. With
a very small amount of care and labor
we could have an ample and abundant
supply of Irish potatoes, cabbage, tur
nips, etc., produced in the latter part of
summer and autumn for winter con
sumption. **
Why this is not done; why any one
will be content to go through the win
ter upon an unhealthy and unpalatable
diet is one of those inscrutable myster
ies that no man can find out. But it
is, nevertheless, a cold and clammy
fact that our people will not pay that
attention to gardens that their impor
tance demands. The general rule is
that this part of the domestic economy
is turned over to the women of the
household, and if they are able, faith
ful and willing, perhaps there may he
something deserving the name of gar
den, and the family rejoice in a full
and abundant supyly of vegetables
Generally, however, but a small amount
of care and labor is bestowed on the
preparation and fertilizing the garden,
and if, for any cause, there should lie
tny part of the farm neglected, the
garden is sure to suffer.
It does seem that a little reflection
would convince any one that a garden
and truck patches, properly prepared,
fertilized and cared for is worth any
five acres iu cultivation, and that they
ought, therefore, to be regarded by the
farmer as the apple of his eye ; for
there is not only health and comfort
in them, hut money as well. The sub
ject of good gardens is, therefore, com
mended to the serious consideration of
all who have them, or need them.

There has been a great deal said
about the corn crop by our broilier
correspondents. Taking all things in
to consideration the corn crop is the
most important staple crop grown in
this country. It furnishes bread, and
is the prime factor in raising meat.
Besides the tremendous amount used
in the beneficial manner above cited
thousands of bushels are converted
each year into that abominable drink—
whiskey. Among the many milliou
agriculturists in the United States hut
few are found who do not to a greater
or less extent cultivate this valuable
as well as indispensible food plant.
The trouble with the farmers of the
South is that they do not plant more,
and raise their meat and other supplies
at home. If they would only do this
they would not have to beg the cotton
buyer to buy their cotton, the buyer
would then beg them to sell.

TUSSAHAW.
Mu. Editor: —It’s a long time
since I wrote you a letter, or since you
have had one from among these slopes.
How fast and radical things change.
Three years and less ago it was consid
ereil honorable to be rich, and when
one of our wealthy men died all you
press men, with all your papers, held
him up—especially to the young men
—as a model of enterprise, industry
and economy; and vied with cadi oth
er in trying to present their lives in
the most impressive manner. But now
the scene has changed, and it is crim
inal to be rich. We must all hold our
rich men iu alieyance, if not in horror.
Vanderbilt, Stewart, and all those
dead, were great, honored in life and
mourned in death, as well as the pros
perous men who have lived and died
in our midst. But now, although we
invite, and advertise, and offer induce
ments, it's even improper for our Gov
ernor to shake hands with a wealthy
man, or set of men, visiting from an
other Statens they were not on official
business—and “we don’t like their
methods.” We wonder if this freezing
out policy will hold good with our
conscientious Governor.
Mr. Editor, there is one thing that
has been a subject of note and cora-
‘’’county for a long time that
we wish to notice ; 1. e., the very un
even distribution of our grand jury.
We have twenty-nine citizens drawn
for April court, representing the vari
ous districts as follows : McDonough
8, Hampton 3, Sixth 3, Stockbridge 3,
Shakerag 0, Knob 2, Loves 3, McMul
lens 2, Beersheba 2, Sandy Ridge 1,
Tussahaw 0, Locust Grove 1, Lowes 1.
Of course we will have a good grand
jury, and no one envies them their po
sition, but people don’t like to be
slighted, and why this discrimination
against the rural districts? Tussahaw
is one of the largest districts in the
county and’ts not repieseuted ; Locust
Grove one of the largest with only one
member drawn, etc We believe this
drawing is a fair average. We can’t
remember of Tussahaw ever having
more than two grand jurors at one
time. Districts will necessarily he left
out, but it shouldbe a rare exception ;
and to our thinking the grand jury es
pecially should be pro-rated over the
county as nearly as possible.
Success to your worthy paper.
April Ist. Lundy.
LABOR.
This question of labor, which I shall
now attempt to discuss, is older than
the universe, as far reaching as hurnaui
ty, aud as little uudestood as the most
marvelous works of God. It has occu
pied the mind of mail siuce man was
created—and will continue until heav
en and earth shall pass away. The
idea of labor at the present time is as
sociated with but a portion or class ol
our people—those who ale compelled
to work for the necessities and comforts
of life.
Now, there is no man or woman liv
ing who desires to labor every day iu
the year during their whole sojourn on
earth. Nine-tenths of the labor per
formed at the present day is done with
the idea that it will bring further ease
aud comfort. But, alas, from year to
year they toil, and instead of thiz the
great desire is not reached until it lias
almost led to war, bloodshed, riot and
ruiu. Now, as to the great demands
that our God put upon the human race,
that by the sweat of their brow should
all men eat bread, did this apply to on
lv a poniou ol the human beings who
were created to people the earth, or
was not the entire human family, from
Adam to the babe of yesterday included?
It was put upon the race without ex
ception. This fiat demands that all
should support their bodily na ures
through nature’s own exertions—labor.
The condition of labor not being bet
tered, it n-ust as a natural sequence be
come worse, and society to-day pre
sents the melancholy spectacle of
a small portion of our people climb
ing higher and the greater portion
of them going lower on the social
ladder. This is not all; the whole
fabric of civilization, with all its advan
tages, all its various adjunc’s, and all
things that in any manner contribute
towards progress and higher life, are
the direct results of labor. It buys
all aud makes all, and the time has
come when it must and will be heard.
It stands to day on the threshold of fu
tore progress and further advance
ment, and strongly demands of you ai d
me, “Shall my efforts in time to come
be free, or enforced?” The fate of the
civilized world depeuds upon the an
swer. The people of this generation
must decide aud the nineteenth centu
ry must declare it.
Labor must be free or enforced. I
believe that labor is being enslaved,
being spoiled of its reward through the
laws governing land and currency.
“Whoever owns tbe land owns the peo
pie,” said John Locke, aud “whoever
controls the currency controls tha na
tion,” said President Garfield. How
true tbe poet said,
“The seed you sow another reaps.
The wealth you find another keeps,”
For these reasons and from these
causes, lalwrers have been compelled to
band together aud put into practice in
all parts of the world, in one form or
another, the God-given right of selfpro
tection. For years capital has consid
ered itself thoroughly entrenched be
hind the law: but to day it is looking up
the weak points—it has heard the sul
len murmur.
Let me say-to you, united labor to
day does not ask for alms, is not beg
ging bread. Instead of this, it stands
before the world demanding justice,
asking for its God-given rights and
seeking for those privileges that
were born with tbe human family, So
mote it be. Amen. Another.

If you have made up your mind to buy
Hood’s Barsa- arilla do not be induced to take
any other. Hood's Sarsaparilla is a peculiar,
medicine, possessing, by virtue of its peculiar
combination, proportion, and preparation,
curative power superior to any other article.
A Boston lady who knew what she wanted,
and whose example Is worthy imitation, tells
her experience below:
To Cet
“ In one store where I went to buy Hood’s
Sarsaparilla the clerk tried to induce me buy
their own instead of Hood’s; he told me their’s
would last longer; that I might take it on ten
days’ trial; that if I did not like it I need not
pay anything, etc. But he could not prevail
on me to change. I told him I knew what
Hood’s Sarsaparilla was. I had taken it, was
satisfied with it, and did not want any other.
Hood’s
When I began taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla
I was feeling real miserable, suffering
a great deal with dyspepsia, and so weak
that at times I could hardly stand. I looked,
and had for some time, like a person in con
sumption. Hood’s Sarsaparilla did me so
much good that I wonder at myself sometimes,
and my friends frequently speak of it.” Mrs.
Ella A. Goff, 61 Terrace Street, Boston.
