years. The new member is a promising
disciple and will do most of the talking.

To illustrate the tremendous influ
ence that the Floridian has over this
legislature it is only necessary to state
that its advocacy of a measure to protect
Florida sheep against Florida dogs has
resulted in a law to protect Florida dogs
against the unreasonable opposition of
Florida sheep raisers. Oh, we are*a
power in the land, we are! We are so
disgusted that we would walk around
three blocks just to kick a sheep. No
animal without claws is entitled to any
consideration—Floridian.

If Henry G. Turner desires or will ac

Georgia should be willing to give it to

As a senator he would be the peer of
Stephens, Toombs and Hill. His mas

Kettle Creek, Ga„ May 9.
Mb. Editor :
I understand you have been inviting
correspondence on general topics, con
densed and classified in short paragraphs
strictly on one side of the paper, non
partisan in effect, free from the restraints j
of rhetorical display and absolutely un- j
biased in matters of public opinion or j
the education of the masses, *.in other ]
words agricultural literature pure and '
simple. If this is true, and you recog- '
nize in me the requirements of an offi- ;
cial scribe armed and equipped as the law ;
directs, I will furnish you regularly |
daily or weekly periodical effusions from J
this historical vantage ground. j
Kettle Creek, “that is my neighbors” I
are enthusiastic in their desire to have |
their interests brought squarely before :
the public through the medium of your
paper and request me to mention the
fact of my election by them to the posi
tion of official correspondent at the min-
tum rate of five cents per line. I merely
mention these preliminaries as a guaran
tee of good faith, which I am told is in
dispensable in matters of this kind, and
should be husbanded with (the fondest
hopes and purest endeavors eminating
from an experience ripe with rich spark
ling effusions of great minds from an
agrarian standpoint.
While serving you in this capacity I
shall earnestly endeavor to precipitate
all the blessings on Kettle Creek in com
mon with other equally as fair and
favored spots as the surroundings will
admit for the benefit of posterity unprej
udiced by the requirements of free trade
or affiliation in the bounties growing out
of the unlimited coinage of silver.
Refering by general consent to these
topics of passing intereet I cannot sup
press a desire to map out the sentiment
prevalent at this juncture in relation to
the popular idea of free trade. Free
trade in all its most profound ramifica
tions presents a theme fraught in the
main w-ith maximum blessings at mini
mum rates to the actual consumer, al
ways, however, inseparable by reason of
the relations sustained by the theories of
supply and demand, from unlimited
coinage of silver. Now-, unlimited coin
age as defined by Squire Smith, means
possession, summed up as uinc points in
the law, hence, as a rule, the majority
out here, favor it or demand something
better.
Crops are just budding into the ver
nal beauty of an early Spring growth.
Education, society pleasure and politics
will receive formal mention in the
course of this correspondence, all of
which mix and mingle with the ordina
ry in the current of events.

Bright Spring Days.
The spring should be pre-eminently a
season of contentment, happiness and
hope. In these bright and pleasant
months the country should enjoy its
highest degree of tranquility and pros
perity. But spring, it is well known, is
often a period of discomfort and dis
turbance in the physical system. Im
portant organs of the body become tor
pid or irregular in their action, and the
fact is instantly reflected in the mental
condition of the individual. A disorder
ed liver means disordered nerves and a
dull and unsteady brain. Anything
which will bring the physical system
into harmony with budding Nature con
fers an- enormous benefit upon the na
tion, besides the mere allaying of physi
cal discomfort. Hood’s Sarsaparilla
does this, as thousands of grateful men
and wonieu can testify, and increased
use of this standard spring medicine is
of more real practical importance in pro
moting health and quiet in the business
world than reams of abstract theorizing.
A Marriage in High Life.
Mr. W. T. Lawrence was married to
Miss Mary Sills this morning in Green’s

La Grippe.
During the prevalence of the Grippe
the past season it was a noticeable fact
that those who depended upon Dr.
King’s New Discovery not only had a
speedy recovery, but escaped all the
troublesome after effects of the malady.
This remedy seems to have a peculiar
power in affecting rapid cures not only
eases of La Grippe, but in all Diseases
of Throat, Chest and Lungs, and has
cured cases os Asthma and Hay Fever
of long standing. Try it and be
vinced. It won’t disappoint. Free
