W. J. OLIVER, Chairman. T. R. ARTHUR, Secretary. ity The District Committee. Eprtor NEws: As I still consider my elf a member of the Democratic Execu ive Committee of the Second Congres ional district—mot from my own seek no, but by the kindness of the people of ny county—l ask a short space in your olumns to briefly refer to some of the ecent actions of that committee. At the first meeting of the committee line of action was mapped out which 1 elieve met with the approval of every oter and both of the present candidates. Prior to the second meeting of the ommittee 1 had heard of no complaint rom the men who do the voting nor rom the candidates. While in Albany to attend the first meeting of the committee I had a very leasant talk with Hon. C. B. Wooten bout the recomwendations of that body fter we had adjourned and the proceed ngs had been publishcd. Colonel Wooten, am glad to say, :lp}u‘n\‘wl our acts. 1 vant to say to those who, like myself, have lad a limited acquaintance with Colonel Vooten that the more you know him he better you like him. Hon. O. B. tevens, my choice, said the action of he committee was perfectly satisfactory im. Why, then, the second call of -aptain fiobbs; and the manner in which twas made? He had a perfect right to nake the call, but I object to the short otice given—four days’ time, so far as ow, in Tue Dawsox NEws., I receiv d THE NEws on the 20th, the day it was üblished, at dark. The meeting was alled for the 21st. I had only one light's notice, was 27 miles off, and no rain, which, it seems, shows that I was otwanted.

It was so at the first meeting. Indeed, we could have not have called’it a meeting without them. A splendid set of gen tlemen, they are ready to act as proxy by request and keep up a good, lively time generally, I simply want those who have put their confidence in me and requested that Iserve them on this committee to know how far it has been done, I have no fear for tie people of Terrell county. They are far above being dictated to. The alliance vote of the county is 200, more or less. Then, it was the people that spoke. They have the right to re quest from the government of this great country the privilege of free thought. If we desire to recommend certain men to the graat party of the nation we might in all fairness be permitted to do so. Put it, if you wish, dictation or some thing else. Straight Democracy, Alli anceism and all other isms are needed now along with conservatism. One man is not tle thing @eeded. *We could do without either candidate, but not with out harmony. Now, hands all round! Let things be done in order and with good will, and all will work out right. A dictator isnotin order in our eoun- W I am glad again of the opportunity to express hope for harmony between town country in our county, Let us see how much can be done for the good of all the people, and let har mong prevail. Respectiully, WyM MARTIN, an Alliance Democrat, Vi PARROTT PARAGRAPHS. The News of Our Neighhbor Interestingly Told. After one year’s rest Dr. J. H. Willi ford has again commenced practicing his profession. Having the experience of a large practice for twenty years in this section, he will no doubt work up agood practice. Miss Ada Jumper happened to quite a painful, if not a serious, accident a few days ago while fishing with several friends at Kenney’s mill pond. In get ting over a fence the rail turned, caus ing her to jump on astump, thereby spraining her ankle so badly that it had to be reset by a physician. Her many friends hope, however, that nothing se rious will terminate. Among those on the sick list are Miss Sadie Parker, who is visiting her sister, Mrs. W. H. Lasseter, at the Parrott House, and little Miss Bobbie Whaley. Nothing serious, however, and we hope to see them out again in a few days. Af ter a few days’ illness Miss Rosie Tatum has fully recovered, much to the joy af her many friends. A few days ago Mrs. Lela Abell and Mr., Lovett Shippey visited their par ents, Mr, and Mrs. Shippey, of this place. Mr. J. T. Z. Brown, of Woodbury, our former depot agent, is here for 2 few days stay with his old acquaintances. Marshal Pritchard has moved his fam ily to Parrott. The trustees of Parrott High School held a meeting a few days ago to formu late plans for commencement, which which will take place some time in June. Mr. James McCracken, a few morn ings ago, killed an immense fowl (spe cies of an eagle) that measured seven feev and ten inches from tip to tip. Mr. McCracken says he has missed several pigs the past few days, and he thinks the bird had been catching them. This makes the sccond one that has been killed near Uncle George's mill this spring, and the third one has since been seen. 4 Lo High Freight.

I'am selling 20 pounds of the best granulated sugar for one dollar, | C. W. SuokEgs, The Leader, The farmers through this section o courtry are very well up with their work, I guess, judging from the time they have to lose fishing, hunting, etc. By the way, that reminds me of a trip I took a few days ago. It was suggested by some one here that a fishing expedition should be taken to the Joe Hole, in the neigh borhood of Jomner's pond, consequently everybody began to make instant prepa ration to that effect. The following is party that went on this occasion: W, S, Thornton, J. M. Tooke, T. Turner, W, B. Blessctt, J. H. Sawyer, B. Morris, J. M. Wriglit, B. E. Cox, D. W. Collier, T. M. Knight, John T. Lee, R. E. Thornton C.S. Lee. Quite a stew wasn’tit? You may easily guess the consequences, Some went to look, some went to fish, some went to eat fish if any should be caught, others went for the fun that was con nected with it. I believe there was more of that than anything else. For what object I went 1 haven’t b2en able to decide; to get out of Duval though, I guess, But there is one thing certain and sure, I was glad to get back, indeed. But to continue in reference to the fun: We arrived at the pond about 12 o’clock, All daring the afterncon was oceuped in putting out set hooks and nets by those who went for the fun and those who went to catch. But, alas! night soon came on and there were not a sufficient number of the earnest fellows to fish the hooks and nets and keep a sup ply on the bank to keep those lookers and eaters awake. Every method imag inable to keep them awake was put in op eration. I will endeavor to relate a few of them, Those lazy lookers and eaters would stretch out upon their blankets with the intention of going to sleep as close to the fire as possible not to burn. About the time they would get in a doze these earnest fellows would apply wood upon wood, and after a few moments would expire they (like the turtle) would begin to kick and were compelled to move to prevent being burned up. They would get off some distance from the fire, then the earnest fellows would let the fire die down. Then those same old lovkers and eaters would try to get in the ashes to keep from freezing. Then would be the earnest fellows time again; they would pour on wood again. These operations continued all night. The earnest fellows came out victorious in the end with all the fun, feeling 100 per cent. better. The shades of night began to tade away, 2 bright sun appeared over the eastern horizon, it was day. Breakfast was soon eaten, preparations made and we were soon on our return home. A compli ment was passed on as as we were com ing back. A wife of one of the above named gentlemen said to Mr. C., “This must have resulted in a general row.” “Why so 0?” “Because they all seem putfed up, pouting and mad about some thing; it is the sickest frolicking crowd I ever saw in my life.” About 1:20 o'clock on the day after the dreadful night spent on the bank of the Joe Hole, in the neighborhood of the Joiner pond, we arrived at Duval; the choizest place on earth. If ysu ever see any of the above parties ask them when he is going to take another trip to the Joe Hole in the neighborhood of the Joiner pond. Farewell, for the present, and maybe forever, in reference to the Joe Hole. If you wish to find or see Tommie Lee, son of Mr. W. W. Lee, or Jim Turner, son of Mr. Tobe Turner, I will advise you to look up and down the road, you will be apt to find them riding a yearling apiece, of which they have sole posses sion; provided they are not in school, which is a job, indeed, when the pleas ure of ricding a calf is on their brain. Rain is much needed at the present time. The farmers say if it doesn’t rain soon their oat crops will be badly dam aged. Mr. E. B. Bridges attended preaching here last Sunday. Mr. Muse preached at the Baptist church last Saturday and Sunday. Those present reported a good sermon. Mr. Slade passed through Duval this morning on his way to Morgan to attend court, ; W. W, Tee and B. S. Mathews Says cash trade continues dull, but credit is plentiful, From what I can learn we will have some peaches and apples this year. I hope this will be the case on account of the quantity being limited the last two years. Our school continues to thrive under the superintendence of Mr, J. R. Cran ford, notwithstanding his unwell feelings for the last few days. Miss Willa Lee's presence was missed in Duval last Saturday and Sunday. Ball playing has the lead of games in Duval. Big, little, old and young gather here every Saturday to take part in the sport, : Mr. Walter Hayes}is continually play ing his diabolical tricks. * A SUBSCRIBER. yRuPY Higg WYY R Rai ity SN B “R | R A S VENF R N TR \«4& {0 AN @ E e\ HERNRNN ONIZ BENJOYS Poth the method and resulis when Syrup of Figs is taken; it is pleasunt and refreshing to the taste, and acts zenily yet promptiy on the Kidneys iiver and Bowels, cleanses the sys em effectually, dispels colds, head wches and fevers and cures habitual constipation.
