Entered at the postoffice at McDonough
Oa., as second-class mail matter.
McDonough. Ga., May 29, 1891.
The Committee Organized.
Another meeting of the building
committee for the new Methodist
church was held Monday night, when
Mr. Thos. D. Stewart was made per
manent chairman and Mr. J. Q. Nolan
secretary and treasurer.
The subscription lists will now be
put in proper shape and a determined
effort made to raise the money at once
in order to commence work on the
building as early as possible.
It has been decided for the new
building to be erected on the present
lot.
Now let every single person interes
ted in this good work respond to the
call, and the new houso of worship will
be made not only a credit to our entire
community and poeple, but will prove
a blessing and benefit all for time and
eternity.
A Fine Artist.
Mis. J. R. Gregory, Atlanta’s noted
artist, was in McDonough one day last
week and took several orders for her
work.
Mis. Gregory possesses superior
merit in her profession, having been
chosen, after a competitive test by a
large number of artists, to make the
full length life size portraits of Gover
nors Alexander 11. Stevens and Her
schel V. Johnson for the State, to be
placed in the new capitol. For eaeh
of these she received the handsome
sum of one thousand dollars each. She
also has an elegant full size portrait of
Judge Boynton, which in this connec
tion, we will state, has been suggested
would make an appropriate picture to
adorn Henry county’s court house, as
it might be secured by a little ef
fort.
Mrs. Gregory was in McDonough
only a short time, while on her way to
Jackson, where she was filling some
orders. Her portraits of Dr. Bryan’s
little girls, also Mr. Frank McKih
lien’s lady, were lovely pastels and fine
likenesses. She has a card in our
columns this week, to which wo invite
special attention, and those desiring
pictures of any kind in her line will
not find superior work in the Stute.
We take pleasure here in reproducing
the following from the last issue of the
Hartwell Sun :
“Miss Ella Gray, of Hoyston, Ga ,
has returned from Atlanta, where she
has been studying portraiture for some
time under Mas. J. R. Gregory. She
has a number of portraits in crayon
and pastel ; also tbe picture of the
beautiful lone of mythology, and
Psyche, the sybil or fortune teller,
besides fancy heads, etc. lone and
Psyche are copies in pastels from oil
paintings of one of the old European
masters and are considered very val
uable pictures.
Miss Gary, wishiug to meet her
friends, and also to exhibit her art,
will have an art reception at her home
on next Tuesday evening (26th) from
7:30 to 10 o’clock, where a number of
paintings in crayon, pastel and oil will
be exhibited. It will be an informal
reception and all who may desire to
attend are invited. Mrs. Gregory is
one of the fiuest artists in Atlauta and
has quite a reputation, not only in
Georgia, but in many states both North
and South.

A Mechanical Wonder.

it issued in this country. It will be
printed on red, white and blue paper
and consist of 16 pages. If there is
no agent in your town you can have
the paper mailed to you at 5 cents a

Merit Wins.
We desire to say to our citizens,
that for years we have been sellino
Dr. King’s New Discovery for Com
sumption, Dr. King’s New' Life Pills,
Bucklen’s Arnica Salve and Electric
Bitters, and have never handled rem
edies that sell as well, or that have
given such universal satisfaction. We
do not hesitate to guarantee them
every time, and we stand ready to re
fund the purchase price, if satisfactory
results do not follow their use. These
remedies have won their great popu
larity purely on their merits. C. D.
McDonald, Druggist.
Against the Appropriation.
Hen. W. Y. Atkiuson, the able
member of the legislature from Coweta
| county, makes the positive assertion
that that body will refuse to make the
hundred thousand dollar' appropriation
I for the World’s Fair.
However urgent this appropriation
may be, there is no doubt that the re
fusal by the legislature to grant it will
meet the hearty appioval of the tax
payer* of the State. All acknowledge
the advautages of an exhibit, but be
lieve the appropiition should be raised
by subscription from among the indus
tries it will more directly benefit.
Coming as it does right from the
midst of the real people, we give below
an article from a correspondent of the
Middle Georgia Farmer, embodving
about the common view:
“I noticed sometime ago a call from
the Governor of the State of Georgia
for some of the prominent citizens of
the State to meet in Atlanta to devise
some plan whereby an appropriation
could be made to the World's Fair in
1893.
The parties met and I suppose they
came to the conclusion to ask the leg
islature to pass an act to allow the
State to appropriate one hundred thou
sand dollars of the earnings of the
State road.
Now, Mr. Editor, is this not a very
unwise conclusion? There are plenty
places in the State of Georgia that one
hundred thousand dollars could be
used more profitably than sending it to
Chicago to the World’s Fair.
The last legislaiure passed an act
pensioning the widows of deceased sol
diers, and appropriated sixty thousand
dollars, and the act says that they
should have SIOO each, and it is now
shown that there is four thousand
widows, and consequently they would
not get but about sls each.
Now if the State of Georgia wants
to appropriate money let them com
mence at home and prepare for the
widows who have had a hard time try
ing to get along and raise their little
orphan children. Their husbands fell
in the battles, and no doubt to-day
many of their bones are bleaching on
the battle fields of Virginia and other
places.
It lias been over twenty-five years
since the war closed and no appropria
tions have been made until the last
Legislature, aud l do trust that if any
appropriation is made it will be for the
benefit of the people of Georgia and
not Chicago.
Men that till the soil have no inten
tion of going to the World’s Fair, and
if they did they can’t make cotton at
7 cents and spend it that way. Let
economy bo thought of and not so
much extravagance of tbo
money. , - *
Livingston's Marvelous Power.
The New York Sun’s correspon
dent in describing the recent Cincin
nati convention, says of Livingston:
“The most wonderful feature of the
whole incongruous gathering thus far
has been the marvelous |>ower which
one man by sheer force of character
and personal influence lias gained
over the delegates. He is L. F. Liv
iiiston, of Georgia, president of the
Georgir alliance and member of the
present congress. He is the giant of
the farmers’ movemeut. He possesses
the native ability to lead a great revolt,
if one is to coine. Not sockless Jerry,
but Livingstou, will be the leader of
the alliance contingent in the bouse
next winter. Unpolished aud un
graceful, the embodiment of the fa
miliar figure of ‘Uncle Sam,’ he is a
second Abraham Lincoln in his power
to compel the attention even of a hos
tile audience. He came to Cincinnati
to oppose, almost single handed, the
dearest purpose of the organizers of
this convention.”
The Spring Medicine.
The popularity which Hood’s Sar
saparilla has gained as a spring rnedi
cine is wonderful. It possesses just
those elements of health-giving, blood
purifying and appetite restoring which
everybody seems to need at this season.
Do not contiuue in a dull, tired, un
satisfactory condition when you may
be so much better benefited by Hood's
Sarsaparilla. It purifies the blood
and makes the weak strong.
According to an Italian paper, the
one blot on the escutcheon of Colum
bus is the fact that he discovered the
United States,
