WEEKLY a™ TIMES.
BY FO VC HE d JOUXSOX.
J. A. FOI'CHE, Editor.
Entered at the poatoffice at McDonough
Oa., as second-class mail matter.
McDonough. Ga., Sf.pt. 25, 1891.
Announcement.
With tb's issue we open a regular
Locust Grove department of The
Weekly, which we cheerfully do at
the request of the citizens of this live
and progressive little city.
Locust Grove is the best business
place to its size within our knowledge,
as well as one of the most desirable iu
which to live ; and we trust this move
ment will be permanent and result in
much good iu more ways than oue to
the town. It certainly deserves every
thing. Her merchants start off with
a liberal encouragement characteristic
of them, and every one of their attrac
tive advertisements should be carefully
read by everybody who like clever
dealing and close prices—besides, it
will pay to trade in Locust Grove.
The department will be edited by
Dr. W. C. Bryant, who is authorized
to make advertising contracts, receipt
for money and transact any business
connected with the paper. All favors
shown him will be duly appreciated by
the management.
The Alliance Rally
The big allience rally last Saturday
was a glowiug success, fully meeting
the expectations of everybody.
We desired to give a synopsis, at
least, of the leading speeches, but tbe
unexpected crowded condition of our
columns prevents.
The crowd was estimated from a
thousand to fifteen hundred, which it
is safe to say is none too little. Ever
thing passed off delightfully, and the
day could hardly have been improved
upon.
Mr. Livingston made a strong speech
on his usual line, which was enthusias
tically received by all true friends
of the order. He was followed by Dr. J.
W. Nelms,vice president of the Fulton
County Alliance, who said many good
things about the older and the Demo
cratic party.
In the afternoon Mr. Wardall, mem
ber of the National Executixc commit
tee, from South Dakota, delivered a
sound practical address, which was
well received, and the speakiug was
closijd by a most happy humorous but
faithful production from Mr. Daueil,
agent of the Alliance Farmer.
The basket dinner was all that could
be desired, being of the best to lie found
iu the land, everybody getting the
greatest plenty, with a bountiful supply
left.
In short, it was a grand alliance sue
cess from beginning to end, strengthen
ing some of the weak members and
making the faithful more earnest and
hopeful.
’’Don’t Cure to Eat.”
It is with the greatest confidence
that Hood's Sarsaparilla is recommen
ded for loss of appetite, indigestion,
sick headache, and similar troubles.
This medicine gently tones the stomach,
assists digestion, and makes one “real
hungry.” Persous in delicate health,
after taking Hood's Sarsaparilla a few
days, find themselves longing for and
eating the plainest food with unexpect
ed relish.
More Good Type Setting.
Kaleigh Harper is certainly tho fin
est young typo in Georgia. One day
last week, on the average run of the
paper, he set up four full columns of
this type, or nearly eleven thousand
ems, doing the work in a few 'minutes
lets than ten hours, his proof sheet av
eraging not more than half a dozen
slight typographical errors. He re
ceived a present of two silver dollars
for his extra feat, offered by his moth
er and the editor, aud the little fellow
was not only proud himself, but others
were pi oud of him—for he did well.
Kaleigh is only 14 years old, and we
expect to see him become the fastest
printer in the State. *
llappy llooxirrs.
Wm. Timmons, postmaster of ldaville,
Ind., writes: ‘‘Electric Hitters has done
more for me than all other medicines com
bined, for that had feeling arising from
Kidney and Liver trouble.” John Leslie,
fanner and stockman, from same place,
says: “Find Electric Bitters to be the best
Kidney and Liver medicine, made me feel
like a new man.” J. W. Gardner; hardware
merchant, same town, says: “Electric Bit
ters is just the thing for a man who is all
run down and don’t care whether he lives
or dies; he found new strength, good appe
tite and felt just like he had a new lease on
life. Only 50c a bottle at Dr. McDonald’s
drug store.

Dr. L. A. Folsom, of Hampton, is
prepared to treat and cure you of any
case of piles, whether itching, bleeding
or bliud, without pain or cutting, aud
no detention from business. Also cures
fistula. (Jail to see him at the drug
store aud consult with him. Terms

lleury County Mules.
Oii6 of the best features of the big
alliance day last Saturday was an exhi
bition of splendid Henry county mule
colts. There were about fifteen of them
gathered iu Ihe court house yard, to
contest for prizes awarded by Mr. Jim
Crumbley for colls sired by his jack.
We did not learn how the honors were
awarded, but every single one of them
ought to have a handsome prize, not
only because they were good specimens,
but they deserve it on general priuci
pies. This is oue of the very best re
forms this country could inaugurate
and would that we could see it begun
iu earnest.
Dr. J. W. Nelms, who spoke at the
big rally last Saturday, was born in the
old hotel building on the public square,
which was at that time considered a
big hotel. This was fifty eight years
ago, and Saturday was the second time
Dr. Nelms had been here since he was
six months old.
The committee appointed on camp
ground improvement, at the last meet
ing at Shiugleroof, are hereby request
ed to meet at the office of the Stewart
Mercantile Co. on next Tuesday, the
30th inst. The members of the com
mittee are R. If. Fargason, 11. W.
Carmichael, Dan Ward, A. G. Harris
and A. F. Bunn.
McDonough may not make a flour
ish of fancy prices for cotton one day
to delude sellers, but have to drop the
next to get even, but keeps square up
with the market. Moral—for steady
legitimate prices, bring your cotton to
McDonough.
Itev. J. E. llosser was attacked with
vertigo while on the street last Friday
evening, and becoming unconscious
fell into a ditch, where be wus found
in that condition by Mr. C. 11. Wal
ker. who happened to pass. He re
ceived a slight bruise on the face by
the falj, but soon recovered with no
other damage.
By some means we made a mistake
m quoting the price of cotton last week,
bv saying it was selling for 7) cents.
No grade was selling for that figure,
while the best had not been below 8
cents. There has been no material
change in the market tbe past week,
though it has some upward
tendency at this writing.

Miss Leila Patterson has returned

ISLAND SHOALS,
Noting that no mention ha-- been
made ol late, of the new life, aud steady
boom, of this worthy infant city, I beg
space iu your newsy sheet to note a
few unquestionable facts.
The increasing prosperity of this
whole-souled, hospitable and clever
people is unmistakable, and very per
ceptable. Trade was never batter.
The sound of the saw and hammer
chime in like music, with tbe busy
hum of the sow-mill, grist-mill and cot
ton gins that are to be heard early and
late.
Mr. Fields, of Atlanta, has liought
considerable property at this place—
the paragon Shoals bf the State.
Messrs. Smith <b Sanders’ well fill
ed and systematically managed dry
goods and grocery house is doing tho
business that their integrity, frugality
and unsurpassable politeness cau well
assure them. Aiso in connection with
their mammoth dry-goods stoie is a
photograph gallery, which produces
pictures second to none in the State.
The Shoals also boasts of a Jewelry
store, which is no small affair. I tell
you the people are truly wide awake
and enthused with vim and vigor, which
ts the back-boue to success.
It is our pleasure to enjoy a Itene
diction in the form of a protracted
meeting, which is carried on by the
Rev. Manly, of Jackson. He is cer
tainly a minister of great ability and
influence. Other ministers and frieuds
have kindly tendered him a helping
band.
Health is good in our midst Glad
to say that the infant of Mr. and Mrs.
J. H. Austins is again able to look up
into fond and loving eyes and smile
again iu health.
Mr. and Mrs. Will Wood have the
pleasure of entertaining Miss Lou Bate,
a peerless beauty of Acworth, Ga.
Miss Hettie Turner, of the Lone
Star State, is the guest of Mr. and Mrs.
Austin. Uncle Sam's Ass’t.
MONT ST. JEAN.
It was our pleasure to attend the A 1
liance meeting Saturday evening, aud
were glad to see such a large crowd
present. We failed to discover any
thing immoral. Of course we didn’t
have anything to do with the Alliance,
but we can’t see why the trustees of
| the camp ground could object to their
i holdiug the meeting at Shiugleroof,
1 when there is a public hotel ruu every
i year at the camp meeting, aud cigars
sold at it on Sunday. But that is all
| right. There are not many farmers
who want any cigars at that season of
the year! aud then we reckon it is
lawful for them to sell cigars on Sun
day, but it is not lawful for the farmers
to meet therv, as it is not sacred wor
ship. Some folks say it was right for
the trustees not to allow the alliance
to hold their rally at the camp ground-
Of course it was. But it is right for
some folks to speculate during meeting,
and the best members of the church of
ten are men who are dealing in fu
tures.
We hear a great many men say they
are going to quit working for other
people, but we can’t say that in our
present condition; but we will say we
are going to work less for the devil in
the future than we have iu the past.
We will continue to try to pay our
debts. I want to say right here to the
farmers, we must raise our own meat,
wheat and corn at home; then a small
cottou crop, and when we get out of
debt let our watch word be keep out. i
As for ourself, our plan is to buy
less in future than we have in tbe past. |
I don’t see why people want to work
agaiust each other, for what is to one’s
advantage is to the other’s. But it
seems there is a division between the
farmers and merchants. We thiuk we
all should work to each others interest.
It is as necessary to have merchauts,
preachers and doctors as it is to have
farmers, and we don’t thiuk we ought
to make any fight against each other.
Russ Rowan and Jeff Lewis went
down to Griffin last Saturday. Russ
went to buy a flue buggy and Jeff a
fine gun. Birds will now stand a poor
chance for their lives in this settlement
this fall.
Cottou sold for 8 cents iu Lovejoy
every day last week. E. P. Mays
got 8 cents for a hale there Saturday
evening, which we ginned for him. The
cotton we gin always brings the top of
the market. Gus Mitcham always
giv<» the highest price for cotton and
sells goods cheap. Our old friend,
Rev. G. A. Hill, would be glad to
have his old frieuds in this part of the
couuty to trade with him at Lovejoy.
