Don’t fail to see us next week while
you are in town and give us your
name 1 It is youi duty to patronize
your county paper, and you should
never fail to do your duty.
The political outlook is very dis
couraging at first thought: As has
already heen stated in our columsn,
three elections have been held this
meatfc, the results of which were al
ready very well known. Arkansas
gave a democratic majority of about
60,000 over all apposition. Vermont
gave a republican majority of 25,000
and Maine f 0,000. The pecpledid not
expect any other result. Arkansas
being clearly democratic and Maine
and Vermont being situated in the
very heart of republicanism.

Hard Times.
We hear young men complain i g
about hard times now. We serious
ly doubt if any j'oung man lu this
country knows comparatively any
thing about hard time* at this day
and ago, Jf some of them had to hoe ■
potatoes, fight gnats, hunt cows, haul
hay; turn grind slotnes, stir up log
heaps bofore breakfast, go eight to
twenty miles to mill in cold weather
with nothing on but tow linen breech
es ami shirt, walk four miles to Sun
day School barefooted, or chase an
old flee-bitten gray more through wet
weeds, brush and grass an hour every
morning before breakfast in corn
plowing season, thresh oats and wheat
with a flail and blow the chaff out of
it with a blanket or sheet, and slide
off of the toe bf a number 9 boot
every time they made a misstep by
accident or otherwise, drink coffee
made of scorched wheat or corn, tea
made of sassafras, sage spice or ditta
ny, corn bread made without salt or
soda, they would begin to conclude
ihat t lk- v were familiar with hard
times, had a knowledge of sorrow and
were acquainted with grief- Yes
hoys, this country can truthfully
boast of wonderful improvuients in
thirty years.
In Memory of Little Inez Turk-
Little lac/ was only one year old
When to Heaven she was called
We miss her but we know she’s at rest
In Heaven above among the blest.
She was called in early Mav,
When flowers bloom, but not to stay,
Ere long they wither and soon they die
And on the cold earth they must lie.
The time seemed so short, for a
darling so loved
But Heaven be thanked, we know
she’s above
With angels she’s praising her Father
up there,
O, Heaven, sweet Heaven, so bright
and so fair.
We know she’s at rest on the other
shore
Giant we may meet when this life isore
There to dwell with loved ones forever
Where death or parting ne’er can sever.
Grant we may meet our darling some
day
In Heaven above where she’s guided
the way
We pray to meet as angels above
In that land of light beauty and love.

Its Value Uoeognized by
I'liyslcians.
In a recent letter to the manufact
urers Mr. \V. F. Benjamin, editor of
the Spectator, Rushtord, N. Y., says'
“It may be a pleasure to you to
know the high esteem in which
Chamberlain’s medicines are held by
the people of your owu state, where
they must be best known. An aunt
of mine, who resides at Dexter, lowa,
was about to visit me a few years
since, and before leaving home wrote
me, asking if they wore sold nere,
stating if they were not she would
bring a quantity with her, as she
did not like to be without them.”
The medicines referred to are Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, famous for
its cures of colds and croup; Chain
bsrlain’s l'ain Balm for rheumatism
lame back, pains in tlie side and
chest, and Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarhoe Remedy for
bowel complaints. These medicines
huv„ been in emstant uso in lowa
for almost a quarter of a century.
The people have learned that they
are articles of great worth and meiit,
and unequaled by any other. They
are for sale here yb R. TANARUS, Thomp
son, merchant, Homer.
Commissioner K. T. JNosmtc today is
sued tho following manifesto on the
subjtvt.
“To thFormers of Georgia and the
Smoh: A few years ago we were con
fronted by a gigantic monopoly, tlie
bagging trust, which tried to force from
the farmers thousands of dollars which
they, in their depressed condition, could
ill afford to lose. By united efforts on
the part of the farmers this evil was
averted, and the octopus, which had
fastened itself on the agricultural indus
try, was destroyed.
“Today we are confronted by similar
trouble. The manufacturers of cotton
ties have formed another great combi
nation, and without any cause except to
gratify an unlawful greed, have agreed
to raise the price of their goods 100 per
cent. If the price of iron had advanced
there might be some reason for this ac
tion, but iron was never cheaper, and
the same may be said of coal and labor.
The fact is simply that an effort is being
made to force the farmers of the south
to contribute millions to swell the profits
of a powerful combination of manufac
turers. The farmers are in good condi
tion just now to tight this trust. They
have their provisions. There are few
debts to be met until later, aud there
fore no pressing necessity to force their
cotton on the market. I wouid advise
that they hold meetings iu every section
of the south aud denounce this attempt
to deframl them of their earnings. At
the same time let them advise together
•s to what is the best way to meet this
new enemy. Meanwhile this depart
ment will make investigation us to sub
stitutes for cotton ties, as wi 1 meet the
requirement* of durability and safety.
•‘(Signed) R T. Nesbitt;
‘•Department of Agriculture.”
After careful investigation and the
reception of encouraging letters from
farmers in all sections, wo issued the
following,':
“Atlanta. Ga.. An?. 21 —To the
Farmers of Georgia: This department
has been investigating the question of
Substituting wire ties for the fiat ties
heretofore used in baling cotton, and I
believ now that a satisfactory solution
of tlie question has been reached. I
now urge upon the farmers of this and
the cither cotton glowing states to meet
together in their respective counties and
devise plans for securing wire ties. If
necessary delay packing your cotton for
u short time in order that you may get
the wire ties,
“The following letters explain the
matter. The ties used by Mr. George
W. Truitt are made by tlie Continental
Wire Company, Laclede building, tit
Louis, Mo. They weigh 1H pounds to
the bundle and are offered at 50 cents a
bundle (30 ties) on the cars at St. Louis
in car load lots or CJ cents in smaller
quan titles.
“The ties recommended by the Farm
ers’ Alliance Exchange of South Caro
lina can be purchased from Washburn
& Moon Manufacturing Company. 241
Pearl street, New Yo.ik. They weigh
87 ’ A pounds to the bundle and will cost
90 cents a bundle laid down in Atlanta.
Any further information desired will
be cheerfully furnished upou appl ca
tion to this department.
“It. T. Nesbitt, Commissioner.”
Sir. Truitt writes that the wire ticr
are a success in every particular, and
Mr. Duncan, manager of the Farmers’
Alliance Exchange of South Carolina,
urges its adoption at once. Many other
letters indicate that it lias been given
a favorable reception, and has stood
tests as to strength, durability, and in
jury to bugging. The heavier wire is
preferred.
WORK FOR THE MONTH.
Push the fattening hogs. Every pound
of flesh gained as the weather grows
colder is mudo at additional expense.
Ilogs which are ready for tho knife tho
lirst cold spell make tho best and cheap
est meat. Give them variety of food
and see that they are kept in clean
quarters, with plenty of pure water to
drink. Give an occasional dose of cop
peras, and keep ashes and salt mixed
dry where they can easily roach it Fall
oats should be sown—the land well pre
pared and fertilized. Also put in the
crops of rye and barley. Whore the lo
cation is suitable tho grasses and clovers
should also lie sown. They require rich
land and a lino, deep joetl bed. Gather
the cotton as carefully as circumstances
will admit. The prematurely opened
bolls will require more care than is us
ual. Don’t gin when damp, and don’t
leave exposed to the weather.
U. T. Nesbitt, Commissioner.
CONDITION OF THE CROFS.
Tho Cotton Crop W|l| Not Itn r. < la?rjjo
Wu lispeotml—Good l’rlcc* Cuming.
COTTON.
The bright prospect of a month ago
has vanished, and the present outlook
is about as poor as it could bo. The
rains of July produced a vigorous growth
of weed, and during that month the
plants were taking on fruit rapidly aiul
tlie outlook was encouraging for a large
crop. About the first of August the
rains ceased, and thou followed several
weeks of tho hottest weather ever ex
perienced in tiro state. In addition to
tho heat, came drouth, causing tho
plants to shod leaves, forms and even
young bolls. So hot ami dry has tho
weather been that many of the bolls
have opened prematurely, resulting m
gr mt loss. It is oilfieuk to estimate tho
damage to tho crop. Rains now cannot
add uuy fruit to tho plants, but might
enable the half grown bolls to impure.
Avery conservative estimate would bo
23 to 30 per cent off from what was
promised on Aug. 1. From tho bad re
po ts from all the cotton growing spite
the present outlook is for a crop but lit
tle if any in excess of the last. If tins
estimate is correct cotton should bring
from 9 to 10 cents a pound to the
farmer, and I believe that price will bo
reached whenever Liverpool recognizes
the disaster that has befallen the crop.
CORN.
The very fine promise of a month ago,
relative to this crop, has been somewhat
curtailed by the drouth and heat of Au
gust, The greater part of the crop was
secure, when the drouth came, but a
bonsiderable amount of late planted
corn, has been injured, and even that
which was planted in good time, wouid
have filled out. and made heavier corn,
had the heat and drouth been less se
vere. Nevertheless tho state is blessed
with a crop sufficiently large for all or
dinary purposes, and there v. ill be no
need to import corn for man or beast.
Fodder pulling is over ex - pt in tlie
more northeru counties, am! this valua
ble product has been saved in fine con
dition.
SORGHUM, SUGAR PARK, ETC.
These crops though injured bv Phe
heat, are in fairly good condition, and
promise an average yield. Grinding of
the former will very soon commence in
North Georgia.
sweet potatoes, etc.
Sweet potatoes will be abundant,
though in some eases those planted late
will make nothing. Gardens, as a rule,
have burnt up, and very few turnips
have been sowed, the lack of moisture
rendering it impossible to properly pre
pare the ground. Ground peas and rice
have both made fair crops, being well
advanced toward maturity before the
August drouth came.
FRUIT.
The Georgia fruit crop, except apples,
has all been marketed and at prices
which probably left a fair profit to the
growers.
STOCK.
Condition good all over the state,
with very few reports of sickness of
any kiml. Plenty of corn has a ten
dency to keep stock in good order and
healthy, au t following the fine corn
crop of last year, tho department has
noticed a great diminution iu the re
ports of cholera and other diseases
among hogs, and hollow bora, hollow
tail, etc., among cattle.
