WEEKLY A!fD TIMES. nr foucue «c- johxson. 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. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

If there is no agent in your town you can have the paper mailed to you at 5 cents a copy. 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, How’s This!

Green” is not entirely absconded. Ye correspondent bad a compliment passed on him for working his crop so nicely. The compliment was this: comparing me to the Irishman who came over to the new country to farm. He inquired how to work cotton, and tbo people told him to plant it and plow it four times. So he planted it and plowed it four times, one furrow after another and went back north about his business, hoping to come back in lhe fall aud gather his crop. You can guess at the results of it. J. G. Andrews is the boss bee hun ters. He was stung by one a few days since, which caused him to faint. J. M. and 11. T. Avery carried cot ton to Griffin this week. A. R.

Last third Sunday the subject was temperance, but the minis ters present failed to agree. One of them convinced all present that to drink whisky as a beverage was a great evil. When he had finished the other minister coipmeuced by saying he was opposed to temperance lectures or pro hibition speeches on the Sabbath ; that had lie known such a tiling had been on hand he would not been have pres ent, and promised never to he at another such occasion; tiiat it was not preach iug*,ho giwpel of Christ; he thought it the duty of every minister of God to preach Chiist and Him crucified.
