Ur in the preceding term, which all will
agree, were good plans of instruction.
Editor James Hanlon made his appear-
ance in Ty-Ty yesterday afternoon, and is
canvassing the town in propect of estab
lishing id- pagicr hese.
It is to lie hoped there Is one more move
ment taking shape in our community in
the right direction for more progressive
firming, that is the formation of an
agricultural society. It is a settled fact in
firming, as in every other calling, that
in union there is strength and we do hope
the good farmers of our county will so
view the matter and come together and
organize.
There is a good deal of excitement in
town over the sale of guano, especially
among the merchants who sell it. It
seems that the farmers arc clubbing to
gether, and millet 1 the direction of n former
merchant and dealer in guano, arc order
ing there fertilizers direct from wholesale
dealers, thus leaving to thcmsclvci the
commissions of tiie local agents.
Several of our dealers are laying in new
Ruuds, among the ino-t noticeable Mr. M.
11. Pitt,on the southsideof Railroad street,
ami Mrs. Cora E. I'itt, our good post
mistress, on the north ride.
As yet there are no candidates announced
for city fathers and to-morrow is the day
for tlie election.
Mr. James O’Connor, our railroad
agent, is again at his |KMt.
Mr. W. B. Parks is out of town on bust-
ness.
Mr. John Thompson is confined to his
l*d with something like consumption, and
fears are entertained that he will never get
up. He is one of our goad farmers.

The farmers alliance clubs are being

Atlanta, Ga., January 11.—Chief Con
nelly’s black list is growing. To-day he
added to it the names of II. 1. M<Connell,
A. M. Almond and Charles Atkin. v Three
men have been found guilty by police
Judge Anderson, of being drunk on the
streets the second time. Clerk Carlisle
has to keep a 1 i>t of every man who is
found guilty of drunkenue>s before the rc-
fdtr> and the second oftense puts him on
e black list.
It will require a good deal of work to go
rer tho H-t of names when the list runs
i to the thousands, to find out whether or

contingent comes in it will he interesting

his namesake, who has been h>-» nrudent.
There nre so many ways in which the
