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. PII.EM IT REI>. 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 reasonable. 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. FLIPPEN. Hummer liugereth still. Miss Leila Patterson has returned home, after an extended visit to rela tives aud friends at Newnan. The cotton season is upon us now in full blast, and the price advancing slow ly, (downward.) Messrs. Rowan, Harris and Roun tree visited the Gate City on business yesterday. Our alliance people say with one ac cord that the rally in McDonough last Saturday was a grand success. Mr. C. M. Speer, of your city, was out visiting Mr. J. I). , Rowan last Sunday. M iss Annie Harris is visiting rela tives in Atlanta this week. Messrs. Lovett aud Hollis Glass and Gus Owens boarded the train last night for Cumberland island, for a day or two’s outing. Guess they will bag a tarpon or two before they get back. Mr. J. M. Carmichael and lady visi ted Atlanta today (Tuesday.) You can’t imagine how John R. Pair looked when he found that they had shipped him cottou bagging to cover Ids short crop of cotton with. Climax. IMNE GROVE. This week being fine weather, avail ed ourselves of the opportuuity of put ting our road ill first—class order. Was it ever warmer, aud did cotton ever open faster ? Kobt. Adams, of Hampton, gave us a greet this sennight. Bennie Allen, of Atlanta, has re turned home after a transient sojourn in our midst. M iss Mary MeElroy, of Hampton, was the guest of ye cribe’s better half this week. K. Bright has a few bushels of seed rye for sale. Miss I.ula Avery visited iu Hampton this week. Liberty Hill Sabbath sebool ad journed last Lord’s day till next frou descence, or till the people of the com muuity see fit to resume the school agaiu. Jesse Barnett, of Ola, tyas iu our community tins week. He is uow em ployed by Mr. Nelson of Griffin, to sell the Singer Sewing Machine. Ye correspondent aud lady speut a few hours with the latter’s uucle J. 11. McElroy, of Hampton, last Sunday. Thomas Abbercrombie made a fly ing trip to the Gate City Friday. Vol Barnett had a “most lively time chasing a uegro boy about two miles last Wednesday norn for stealing one of his choice melons. J. T. Fields went to Atlanta this week to lay iu his winter—stock of goods. loux Jr 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. Old Guard. - Bucklen's Arnica Salve. The Best Salve in the world for cuts. Bruises, Sores.
