WEEKLY*" TIMES. ni fouchb a 1 jouxsox. J. A. FOUCHE, Editor- Entered at the postofliee at McDonough Ga., as second-class mail matter. McDonough. Ga , Jilt 3, 1891. The Exhausted Trasury. The news comes from Washington that the treasury is practically bank rupt. It could not pay the money now due on pension accounts without more than exhausting all cash in the treasury including the fractional cur rency, the money deposited in the na tioal hanks, and the small balance on hand of the redemption fund. It was stated nearly a year ago that in its first session the fitty first con gress had provided for expenditures greatly in excess of the public revenue and that the treasury would be obliged to meet its obligations with the re serve. That prediction is now veri fied. The secretary himself confesses that he caunot pay the maturing bouds, and that he is obliged to rake together every dollar and cent of his resources to meet his curreut expenses. There is no doubt now that before the end of the next fisical year the government will be agaiu a borrower. This is the result of two years of abso lute control by the republican party. New Telegraph Line. For genuine pluck and business go, commend us to Jackson. Some time ago application was made by the Western Union Telegraph Co. to the Fast Tennessee road for permis sion to run another wire along the road's right of way from McDonough to Jackson, but met with refusal. However, the Smith Ktheridge Co. made the very liberial subscription of one thousand dollais and induced the company to extend the line along the public road. The work has accordingly been com menced, and the new line will soon be in operation between here and Jackson, despite tlfe effort to throttle the enter prise. We copy the following adtitional particulars from the Argus : “For a long time every business man in Jackson lias sorely felt the need of a regular Western Union telegraph] line and often the want of such conven iences has been keenly felt. llut we are proud to state that the time has come wlieu this state of things will only Vie thought of as being in the dead past, and wo are to get the of fice. This line will come through the ef forts of those ever alert and enterpris ingcitizens, Messrs. Smith & Ktheridge. These gentlemen have consumated a contract with the Western Union tel egraph company to extend the line from McDonough to Jackson, which will cost them, Smith & Ktheridge, one thousand dollars. They pay all the cost of construction and guarantee the salary cf the operator, while the com pany furnishes the instruments. While Messrs. Smith & Ktheridge will pay this expense the line will be a public one to be used as any other of fice of the Western Union company. County Court. The regular monthly .erni of Coun ty Court was held Wednesday and a considerable n umber of cases disjiosed of. Judge Turner dispatches business rapidly, and the satisfaction of all good law abiding citizens. This court, as now conducted, is a good thing, and saves the county large amounts of money. Attention 44tli Georgia Kegiineiit. There will be a re uuiou of the 44th Georgia Regiment at Griffin, Ga., on Tuesday, the 4th day of August, next. Arrangements will be made with the railroads for reduced rates. All ('on federate veterans invited. Come all, and have a grand time. J. A. Cherry, Josh c a Ham mod, E. L.

C>n last Sunday, at the residence of the bride’s father, in Rockmart, Mr. Hubert .Spier, of this place, and Mis Eflie Arrington were united in the holy bonds of wedlock. Mr. Spier and his bride left immediately after the ceremony for Locust Grove, and were tendered a reception by his broth er Mr. Edger 1). Spier. After receiv ing the congratulations aud good wish es of the assembled guests, refresh meuts were served. The menu was elaborate and Mrs. Edgar Spier prov ed that the characteristic Southern hospitality was not a thing of the past. Lucy Clay, a negro woman died suddenly near this place last Monday night. She had been in ill health for some time, and her death is supposed to have been the result of some heart disease. Rev. Rice Cleveland died at the residence of his Son, Sarn’l CTeve laud, yesterday afternoon. Mr. Cleve land was over 90 years of age, and was known all over the county as a “Good old man.” Mr. A. 11. S. Hammock has in his posession . r >s snakes averageing G inches in length. They are of the adder persuasion ai.d were killed near this p'ace. Fifty six at one blow— pretty good oue, ain’t it! Mr. Charley Williams has accepted a position with Mr. Dorsett in Hamp ton. Dr. Peek, Mr. li. C. Brown and ye scribe spent last Sunday at Indian Springs. Mr. John Mahone, of Loachopoka, Ala. is visiting his brother, Mr. C. M. Mahone. There will be an all day singing at County Line church next Sunday. Max. OLA. 'J’he farmers have been putting in all their time in their farms since the rains, and are getting things iu better shape. We notice L. R. Ricks is running a two horse turn plow with bar side to his cotton. It may he he wants to let the sun in to the roots of his cotton ; or it may be oil account of what rain brings forth, grass. It is claimed by Esq. Bryans’ friends that Bince he has taken M. A. Terry on his ticket as deputy he will have a clean walkover. We are informed that W. A. Tur ner ha# the completest and best ar ranged flower pit to be found in the south, and the odor arising and escap ing therefrom through the most com plete arranged and decorated port hole with its valve in perfect working order, is grand to behold. It is said that Dock will have it patented. We got uui information from a Newton county man. Your correspondent, “Claudius,” stopped over with us one night last week. He had been to Knapping Shoals, where he will commence his school on the 13th of July, with a large attendance. The citizens around the Shoals appreciate a good teacher and will give the Professor a fine school again this summer. Dr. Curry is getting all the practice I he can do at this time. Blanton Welch, who went to Buffa lo, New Y’ork, to have a surgical oper ation performed, has returned much im proved, and can interest any one tell ing the sights he saw iu the medica institute at that place. Judge Milltr is the most accommo dating mail man in Georgia. He hauling flour to some of the citizens on his route, but he has never given us their names aud we caunot make it known to the public. Uncle G. W. McMullin, who has been confined to his bed for the past three months at W. A. Hooten’s, seems to be growing weaker for the past two days, and all hopes of recovery have been dispaired of by the family. He has been a shining light for many years in his community, and the good exam ple he has laid down by his upright, Christian walk will live iu the memory of those that have known him when he has gone to reap his reward. M. A. Norman has killed a few acres of his cotton by tryiug to hide the crab grass that was iu it. It could not stand the two inches of soil he threw on it. We think T. J. Crowell has been living on green com for some time as we saw his early corn iu silk and las sie four weeks ago. Tar John. \ l.illle t«irl'« ■'Aprnencr in n l.igli t liuuse. Mr. ami Mrs. Lorren Trescott are keepers [of the Gov. Lighthouse at Sand Beach, : Mich., and are blessed with a daughter four years old. Last April she was taken down with measles, followed with a dreadful cough and turning into fever. Doctors at : home and at Detroit treated her, but in ! vain, she grew worse rapidly, until she was a mere "handful of bones.”—Then she tried Dr. King’s New Discovery and after the use of two and a half bottles, was eompieielv cured. They say Dr. King s New Discs.verr is worth its weight in gold, yet you may get a trial liottie free at Dr. McDonald's drug store. CR«»i»& ROADS, New s scarce in this vicinage. It has not l>eeu but fi\e or six ] days since we had a good rain aud now the ground is getting very dry ! and hard, aud our ciope are beginning to need rain—corn especially. We are glad to chronicle the death of a large amount of grass that has died the last l*;w sunshiny days. We think if we have a few more fair days 1 we will conquer. Mr. Jim Cowan and lady visited his parents near Newhope church last Sunday. Uncle Rufus Christian and lady of Newton county worshiped at Bethany last Suuday. Mr. J. N. Rodgers has been on the sick list for some time, but is ae tblo be out agaiu we are glad to state Mr. F. M. Moss and lady spent Sun day with the latters parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jasper Upchurch. Mr. M. M. Davis has the finest watermelon patch we have seen. Wonder why some of the young men of this community visit I’bilipi so often. Must lie something attractive down that way. One of the strangest tilings iu this life is the fact that those who do the least work seem to get along tlse easi est. Don’t get blue and discuraged every time it rains a little too much or stays dry a little too long to suit you. The Lord knows how to manage the weath er better than you do. Don’t go church, prayer meet ing or Sunday School and spit tobacco juice all over the floor. Don’t abuse your town or commu nity. If it don’t suit you, go else where. Don’t say religion is a failure be cause a certain church member acts worse than any sinner ought to. There are black sheep in hlmoust all flocks. Don’t run in debt recklessly, pay day will come next fall. Several of our young people talk of taking in the celebration at Dak Hill next Friday the 3rd of July. Plow Boy. MONT ST. JEAN. Mr. Editor, don’t forget tlie annual singing at Mt. Carmel M. P. Church next Saturday. Come out and take dinner with us. We spent last Sunday very pleas antly at the hospitable home of Mr. Pbineas Fields, where we met clever Lum Fields, of Griffin ; also. Messrs W. C. Fields, Jim Barnett and Jim Fields, of near Babb. It always af fords us pleasure to mingle with such companionable gentleman us those. Mr. W. B. Carmichael attended the funeral of Mr. J. S. Aiken at Liberty Hill church, in Pike county, last Sun day. Mr. J. P. Copeland, of Greedwood, spent the day with your scribe last week, and we went on a fishing expe dition. It is a mighty poorday for fish when your uncle John fails to bank them. Drew Harlan and lady, of Aalanta, visited Mr. Rus Rowan last week., Mr. J. T. Fields is a delegate from Mt. Carmel M. P. church to the dis trict meeting iu Jonesboro, which con venes next Thursday. Sam Carmichael has a variety of watermelons that it is said will run on the fence to get out of the crab grass. Mr. A. Payne, we regret to an nounce, is on the sick list this week. Mr. H. W. Crrmicbael is not only one of the best farmers in the county, but one of the cleverest Christian gen tlemen to be found anywhere. He let olie of his neighbors who was in a push have a mule to plow all last week. We would like to send him to the legis’ature from old Henry next time. E. H. Mays says he will be ready for the singing next Saturday. Everybody invited to come and bring wtll filled baskets. It is said that Sam Coker has corned his hands at hard work so bad that he woudu’t be able to hold his law book, if lie were called on to conduct att in quest. Work is a very necessary re quirement; but take care Sammie, and don’t overdo the tiling. W. E. Alexauder has made 54 bushels of wheat off of five acres of ground. He also had five acres in oats, from which be threshed 24 bush els, and says lie has enough to feed his mules all next year. Mr. Mat Harrison has completlv dis guised himself, satisfactory to his wife, though, by taking a clean shave Bird Jackson says 1 e has got some thing in his cotton fields that looks green, but thinks it is not cotton. Guess it is crab grass—at least that is what is iu ours. Mrs. Lon Kimbell is visiting the family of her father, Mr. Joltu Callo way, this week. J. N. Shirey says he wants the next grand jury to recommend that Capt. Pope be furnished with a bell, for the convenience of Ed Lester, so when he ueeds the Captain he can riug for him. Old Gvard. Tb« Monument. I notice that there is a motion on foot before the people of our common country to raise a fuud for the purpose of erecting grand inonumtnt in honor of our late great chieftain, Jefferson Davis. IV here will this prund edifice !>e lo cated, aud who will be reminded of our late Confederacy and its only presi dent, by seeing that costly pillar of granite? The common people of our country are now groauing under burden of debt and enormous taxation, and they are eutrtated by such men as Gt n. Gordon and otf er nabobs to conti iliute a lprge sum of moi ey to invest iu this building to the memory of Jefforson Davis. If he was such a grand patriot, and did so much to pro mote the interest of our land and coun try, we need no speechless rock or molten image to perpetuate his deeds of valor and enshrine his deeds of love iu the memory of his devoted couutry men. A volume has been written that com memerates many of his worthy deeds Let us buy that history of his life, and read of his love for his countrymen. All that was great and glorious in his history may be known by children yet unborn. We read in the sacred vol ume of a poor woman who rendered one single act, for which her Lord and Savior said, “Wheresoever this gospel is preached, there shall this, that this woman has done, he told for a miracle of her.” I hat kind loving act of hers has come on down through the flowing tide of eighteen centuries. No sculptured rock has been necessary to tell of her act of love, and her memory will be preserved when (lie name of Jefferson Davis shall have perished in the for gotten ages of the mighty past. Be thinks if h s sainted spirit was permit ted to return to this sin-smitten earih he would hasten to tell his former com rades of the crown ol imperishable glo ry that is held m reserve for him. V\ ould he not say rear no pillar of stone in honor of my name, but take the price and buy a potter’s field to bury strangers in, or gather up the poor orphans, and care worn wid (lows that are scattered all over oti£ loved Southlan I and build an undoing monument of rejoiceing in their heart, by contributing to their aid. I move that we postpone this monu ment until we commission a messenger from the empire state of the Southland to visit the celeslial regions to confer with the Sainted Hero in regard to this question. I would suggest the name of the brave senator elect, to be made choice of as one who is willing to serve his countrymen, not only m the nation al councils at Washington, hut way up in the sacred temple of the New Jeru salem. Let him he duly commissioned and dispatched forthwith to bring us the decision of our now sainted chief tain. We can soon procure a chariot of fire in which he can speed gloriously as the bearer of our enquiry conaerning the will and pleasure of our former chieftain. If he sends us word that he desires to look down upon a grand su perstructure, reared in honor of his greatness, then let us go to work and erect the most magnificent pillar of Italian marble, (if our own country cannot furnish something equal.) But it will he time enough to pro cure the marble after the return of our messenger. We must have an Elisha to see that our money actually “goes up” and bring us a candid statement of facts. But aside from all jokes and nonsense, does it stand to reason and wise econemy, for the people of this oppressed land and country to take on an additioud burden ? If we were all going to the U. S. Senate, getting the handsome little fortune of SG,OOO every year for six connective years, |3G,0000, we could afford to advise the people to erect a monument over every President who has lived since the days of Abraham, dow nto the time of Ben jamin, or his son Rube. I am also opposed to the .f 100.000 appropriation to have Georgia exhibi ted at the World’s Fair. There are thoussnds of poor men in Georgia who will never see Chicago, and have no stock in that enterprise; neither have they any in the great monument to Jeff Davis Anti Monument.
