WEEKLY TIMES, BY t'O VC UK ,C JOIIXSOS. Entered at thepostoflioe at McDonough tia., as second-class.minl matter. McDonough. Ga., June 12, 1891. The Purest and Best Articles known to me<lical science are used in preparing Hood's Sarsaparilla. Every ingredient is carefully selected, personally examined, and only tlie best retaiued. The medicine is pre pared under tbe su|iei vision of thor oughly competent pharmacists, aud every step in the process ef manufact ure is carefully watched with a view to securing in Hood’s Satsaparilla the best possible result. A Portrait of l>r. Logan. Mrs. Gregory’s oil portrait of the late Dr. J .P. Logan—now at ( hamber liu A Johnson's window on Whitehall street —is a most excellent “life like” portrait of him. It was taken just before his health began to fail, when he was able to give the artist one or two life sittings. Atlautians remember what a hand some man he was when he was in per fect health. The likeness is excel lent. This picture was one of the ar tist's prize productions at one of the late fairs. —Atlanta Journal. From Frieml to Friend Goes the story of Hood’s Sarsaparilla and what it has accomplised, and this is the strongest advertising which is done on behalf of this medicine. We endeavor to te'l honestly what Hood’s Sarsaparilla is and what it will do, hut what it has done is far more im portant aud far more potent. Its un equalled record of cures is sure to con vince those who have never tried Hood’s Sarsaparilla that it is an excel lent medicine. PINE OROVE. Some of our neighbors are up with their work, and are waiting for a re freshing shower, bo they can take a new hold and fiuish their crops. I. Fields, of Griffin, was up to see his parents and friends Sunday. Messrs. Jas Fields and Jas. Barrett, of Babb, were in our midst last Sab bath. Willie Kidgdill and sister, of Sunny Side, visited in this community Sun day. Clever Nick Griffin spent awhile in conversation with ye scrawler Sun day.

Mr. T. .ft Westmoreland has the finest field of corn in our community. He says he intends to make over 500 bushels. Let all our brother farmers take a like step, and not have to buv so much corn. How much better off would our couutrv be if we would only do so and let fashion and style be un noticed, and economy practiced to a greater extent than it usually is. John Massey, of Griffin, is now spending a while with relatives and friends near Babb. F'oot-peddlers still continue to roam in our “diggins.” Willie Carmichael, of Carmichael's Mill, gave us a “pass by” this week. Ye scribe expects to have melons ripe by the 4th of July. Mr. Mitchell has been quite ill, but we are glad to hear that he is recuper ating. John, Jr. MON I ST. .IF.AN. Crops are looking much better since the showers have come. Matt Harrison lias the finest water melon patch we have seen, although having inspected clever Sam Coker’s. It is true that Nick Nhirey can’t make fish, but he can cotne as near catching all as any man you ever saw. He succeeded in bringing in two very large one Saturday night, one of which weighed 3 pounds. Mr. 11. W. Carmichael and his ac complished lady visited in Butts coun ty last week. Mr. Tom Turnei had a fine mule to die one day last week. We are proud to say clever Hill Mitchell is improving, and we trust he will soon be restored to his wonted health again. The lightning rod man was in our community Monday. Hereafter we will be a firm believer iu lightning rods, as it rained that day. lie took out his battery to show us how it worked, and it thundered while we were looking at it. Muggins gave some good advice to farmers in his letter last week. Mr. M. Wallace, of Babb, has inves ted in a new buggy. Mr. T. S. Mays lias some fine cot ton, which is a genuine pleasure to look a*.

Williams’ school closed on the 29th of May, aud he and his accom plished assistant, Miss lilassingame, have gone heme. The school was a success from beginning to end, and the teachers deserve more than the thanks of the patrons. 'I here is a scheme on fo.it to build a warehouse at this place, and it goes without saying that it will be built. “Keep your eye on us.” Mr. Jeff Lpchurcb has almost com pleted his lesidence, and a “daisy” it is. Dr. Peek says his iron gray is one of the finest. There has been considerable sick ness recently, and we are pained to chronicle the death of the infants of Mr. A. Speir and Mr. James Blessitt. Dr. Heflin has been quite sick, but is about well again. The annual singing will come off at Indian Creek church next Sunday, and a big time is expected. Come down, Mr. Ed., and bring Col. (’lias. Speer with you, The “missing link,” spring chicken, will be there by a considera ble majority, aud and all things else are ready—and don’t forget to remem ber it —[That fried chicken “brings” us.— Ed.] Blackberries aud redbugs are ripe, and tbe peach crop is promising. ’Tis true tbe cotton is little, but we have seen times that were more glootnv. Max Philomath. ROCKY CREEK. Several of the missionary Baptist ministers met at the Martin school house last Friday and organized the little hand of brethern into a church. There was a very large crowd in at tendance, and the brethern and friends had a bountiful supply of dinner on the grounds. All eat plenty, and only about one-third of the provisions was consumed. Rev, J. A. Jackson preach ed the opening sermon, his text being the first chapter and 18th verse of Co lossians: “And he is the head of the body : the church : who is the begin ning, the first born from tbe dead, that in all things lie might have the preemi nence.” He preactied one of the most powerful and impressive seimons we ever beard on such an occasion. Af ter the church was organizod Rev. T. J. Bledsoe, of McDonough, charged the members of the new church in the most able manner, and when he took his seat there was hardly a dry eye in the congregation. The new church then went into conference. The elec tion of deacons was called first, ami Messrs. W. T. Bernhard aud William Tarpley were elected. L. IL Pursley was elected clerk, and when the time came for chosing, their preacher ltev. l .J.Bledsoe, of McDonough, was inani mously elected. The church could not have selected a better pastor for this work than brother Bledsoe. He ac cepted the call in a very graceful man ner. The afternoon sermou was preached by Rev, J. C. Campbell, of Jonesboro. There will be preaching in the school bouse every third Sunday aud Saturday before, until the church is built. Wheat is ripe uuto the harvest, and there will be a good crop made. Oats in looking some better, and corn is very goed in this community. We have had some of the warmest weather that we ever saw in June. Messrs. 1). T. Stone and J. 11. Mc- Vicker went down to the Jug city last week. Mrs 11. 11. Greer is quite sick at this writing, but we hope she will soon recover. L. 11. P irsley, with his own little ciowd, has chopped out one hundred acres of cotton. They all understand using the hoe and deserve praise. D. T. Stone is ready to start with his threshing machine. There is a flourishing sabbath school at Martin's school house, aud it contin ues to tucrease in number. Abram. II ABB. After a short silence, I will give IUK \Y keki.y a local or two again. \\ e had a fine rain this evening, which was highly appreciated by the farmers. Crops are looking very well. M. Wallace is said to have the finest grass in all these regions. The secret is Mike bought a buggy, and while himself and family wen inspecting it General Green invaded his crop and took possession;—or he may be taking Muggins’ advice and is goiug into the hay business. Aunt Betsy Avery’s health is no better and the old lady is in a precari ous condition. Yesterday being children's day at Mt. Carmel, the services wera very nice indeed, and brother Cotter’s ser mon was just splendid. \\ .T. McY icker, of the gate city, visited relatives and friends at Baht) yesterday. Jim Y\ allace worshipped at Mt. Carmel Sunday. Mr. Editor, come over to Hampton next Saturday and officiate with our I.emonade Club; editors admitted free.

MHiIiINS, One of our friends called on us tin: other day while we were trying to ex terminate some of the weeds and mav pops iu our corn patch, and after view ing the situation, remarked, that wr ought to quit farming and go into the poultry business. Now, our friend struck a key note when lie made us that suggestion, fur we are inclined that way any how, and for some time have been meditating over the matter figuring on “profit and loss.” and loss always comes out victorious, with us, for one year Widow Muggins fed away to her chickens 18 bushels of wheat worth at that time $2. per bushel, ami our profit that year in the poultry business was three fried chickens. “But if at first you dont succeed, try try again.” After much consideration, we have concluded to venture again in that re munerative business, the “Poultry Farm,” with prospects brighter anil anticipations greater. We have ju-t ordered a genuine alli ance all the-vear round rooster, a few hens of the third party variety, and an old grange incubator ; and proj ose to run the thing for all it’s worth. We don’t intend to monopolize or form any trust in this poultry business, or petition congress to build us a ware house for tbe storage of our lien fruit, but simply to run a legitimate business on a big scale. The pass word and by laws of our new enterprise shall be non-political in tbe extreme; but should it bo necessa ry at any time to run politics with our business, in order to make our liens lav, we reserve tbe right to do so. What is the matter with the people? Every body is fussing. They all do it. Italy is fussit.g be cause New Orleans bung a few cut throats. They ought to have hung. The negroes are fussing because they are not allowed to sit on the juries. We were on tbe jury one time and made sl2. and at the end of the week we owed SIO.OO. We can’t see why any man wants to be on the jury. The Democrats are fussing because the Radicals will gobble up all tbe spare change in the U. S treasury. Tbe Radicals are fussing because they will have to let the Democrats run the government in a short while. Sam Jones is up in Tennessee fuss ing about whiskey. We saw in some paper the other day, where whiskey hail saved the life of a preacher. Sam Small is fussing way up in Utah with the Ogden people. The laboring class or day hands throughout tbe world are fussing. They want a day’s work cut down to 8 hours, and get full pay. They want some thing for nothing. Farm hands will want an eight hour plan next, with the privilege of being “boss.” We all could run a daisy farm on the 8 hour business. Old Joe Brown lias been, and is still fussing about the state road, and bis “betterments.” Tbe commission has said that the state must pay some $99,000 back to old Joe for his “better ments.” Mqst be nothiug but “better ments” on that road. But who cares for that $99 000 ? The poor people and tbe farmers of the state will have it to pay. Tbe bloated bondholders won’t pay any, for the law exempts them from taxation, while the poor man on his little farm lias to labor 15 hours in the day for bis living, will lie taxed more and more. The tarmers have paid Joe Brown that $99,000 long ago ; but they must pay it again—anything to keep the |>oor man down. That committee who tuet in Atlanta the oth er day, and asked the legislature to do nate one bundled thousand dollars for the world’s fair made a big mistake. But what do they care? The railroads furnished them free passes. Who ev er heard of a farmer getting a free pass ? The rail loads officials all want each state to make an appropriation— it’s to their interest. Gov. Northen refused to meet Jay Gould in Atlanta not long since, on the grounds that it would be detrimental to the state or the people of Georgia, for him to give Jay Gould any recep tion. Now he favors tbe appropria tion to the world’s fair, and called the committee, which met in Atlanta. Look at our Govenor iu one picture and then in the other, and mark the contrast. In the first, he wants home protection, and economy for the state, and rejected the great railroad mag nate, and monopolist. Now in the second our Governor wants an appropriation from the state, to he spent right in the heart of Jay Gould’s monopoly. Nothing would suit Gould any better. We hope the legislature will have braius enough not to even consider an appropriation for the world's fair. Many useless appropriations have already been made, the result of which is outrageous taxation. We are taxed unjustly now. YY’e don’t need any more addition. YY'e need subtraction. YY’e need economy and tax reform. YY’e pay three times more taxes to-dav than we did fifteen years ago. We kepi up the same public buildings then that we do now. except the State Cap itol Where does all the tax money go ? There is “something wrong iu Den mark ” YY’e need no more appropriations. Too many now’. If any more has to he made, let it lie for the widowed sol diers. and the living Confederates who are lame from the last barbarious war. Charity begins at home. Let the world’s fair display go. Our legisla ture has donated since the war to the negro university about two hundred thousand dollars. Not one dollar of 1 this money has been appreciated by the colored people of the State. The tax payers of the land have paid this douation to a class who are alwsvs an tagonistic to the interests of the white people. This university sent north and hired uorthen teachers at a big salary, and all paid by the farmers of the State of Georgia. YY’e need reform and not appropria tions. Wl-al Jo we care t.ir the world's fair, the opening ceremony, the gr ind military display, the voluminous pro gramme, the 1*0,090 troops, regiments and batteries? I’he series of tableaux representing historical facts in regard to Columbus. We all know Columbus discovered America, after Life Erickson bail. What do we care about the National salute, the escort of the president, tbe diplomatic corps, and the distinguished foreigners, the. civic and industrial precession, and the Governors and Staffs of our various States. We need displays on all our farms. Give us re form and leas taxation. Muggins. From a Little Georgia Girl In Texas. Dear Mr. Editor : —Some time ago there came to my address your valua ble paper. Indeed, words cannot ex press my thanks to the one who was so kind and thoughtful as to send it to me, as nothing could have pleased me more. It recalls to my mind the Hap py scenes of my infancy, if it he |>ossi hle that such is to lie rernemliereil. lam now ten years old, a-id the first paper reached here on mv birth day, bearing a happy birth-day pres ent ;so I will return thanks through the paper to the unknown thougtful friend. As 1 am sitting on the verandah (galleries, they are called here) my thoughts wander back to the dear old red hills of Georgia, and the little ones there ; and especially to my dear old grandfather Creddle, whom 1 know only to love. There is much there for me to love —aunts, uncles, little cous ins, a dear old grandmother and the graves of dear departed onus. Well, it’s very dry here now ; have had no rain of consequence in over a month. Peopfc complain of cotton dy ing from cool morniug9. In the sum mer it is very warm here among the pines, which are so large and thick you can’t see a person a hundred yards. • The people are very kind and nice, but some strange things occur. One lover shot and killed bis sweetheart be cause she loved another, then killed himself, and they were hurried at the same time and at the same place. One man killed his wile while testing his shot gun. But that does not oc cur often. There are good people here as well as anywhere. We have good prospects for fruit this year, line gardens and a great many pretty flowers. We have all kinds of flowers and a great variety of hot house plants. This part of the country is not set tling up very fast, but is likely to, as they are making preparations for saw mills, and another railroad from Jeffer son to Beldeii for the purpose of ship ping luiulier. Well, that is about all I know to write at this time. Hope some one will take time to read this feebly scratched letter, as it is my first effort to write for tbe paper. Also hope a continuance of your paper, which is read and reread by mania, sister and myself, then loaned to grandpa and grandma, who also peruse it with de light. I will close by asking who the much | thanked seuder was ; and if you have no wa>te basket 1 tnav come again. A j little Georgia girl in Texas, Eudora Ki iir. Almira, Tex., May 2.'!. How’s This!

Dyspepsia Makes the lives of many people miserable, and often leads to self-destruction. Distress after eating, sour stomach, sick headache, heartburn, loss of appetite, a faint, “all gone" feeling, bad taste, coated tongue, and irregu _ . larity of the bowels, are DiStrOSS some of the more common After symptoms. Dyspepsia does not get well of Itself. It taring requires careful, persistent attention, and a remedy like Hood’s Sarsa parilla, which acts gently, yet surely and efficiently. It tones the stomach and other organs, regulates the digestion, creates a good appetite, and by thus Side overcoming the local symp- . toms removes the sympa- HOadaChO thetic 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 Unrsr+a distressed me, or did me nearx- ]ittio x„ an our DUrn after eating T would expe rience a faintness, or tired, all-gone feeling, as though I had not eaten anything. My trou ble, I think, waa aggravated by my business, which Is that of a painter, and from being more or less shut up in a Sour room with fresh paint. Last auu . spring I took Hood s Sana- StOmacn rilla—took three bottles. It did me an immense amount ot good. It gave me an appetite, and my food relished and satisfied the craving I had previously experienced.” Gbokoe A. Page, Watertown, Mass. Hood’s Sarsaparilla Sold by All druggists. si ; six for $5.
