OUR I)EAR OULINQUUNTS.
Thoughts Which Come Ic* Us in
tlie Stillness of Night.
Oftimes in the the midnight dreary,
an we lie tired aweary, our heart A
steeped in soirow, not dispelled by the
tomorrow, as we (think of men unjust
who would let our paper bust if we
depended ujoi their aid—payment of
that we’re fairly made—money oh, so
hardly earned while with a.-hes our
body burned; toilsome labor never
ending, hopes and fears together
blending; in the struggle to make the
Gazette blossom like something vernal
with items t please our friends thus
the struggle never ends ! Scarce have
we mailed one number, long before
you read and slumber, we are plan
ning for another—another to amuse
yen, our brother; thus we toil from
day to day, waiting, io'iging (or our
pay, little of jov, much of labor, enter
ing to yu, our neighbor, and when
you pay a little money it is sweeter
far than honey—for it your approval
brings of our local and other things—
news oh, so hard to gather, caught iu
sunny or stormy weather —views of
men w had to pump, how a squash
grew from a stump —a wonderful, fear
ful mixture, presenting to you a truth
fill picture of each day's gossip told in
type —letters so old they’re fairly ripe
for the place called “printer’s liel.”—
why so called we cannot tell. Arid
there is another station t* which de
linquents quickly hasten when they
shuffle the mortal coil—when they
quit this earthly toil—same in name
as the “old type” b >x, a place old
satan sa’ely locks—same iu mime,
’cept word “printer”- a place where
its never wmler; theic we hare our
revenge, watching your quivering body
singe, as ou wings above you we hover,
like a Cupid above a lever: (lights of
fancy in our dreams—awake, but jus
tice to us it seems!

November 26th as Thanksgiving day,
While we have nn thanks' to render
for McKinley’s election, let us hi
thankful that wo ai soon to get rid
of Cleveland-
Gov. Atkinson baa rrs gccd from
the senatorial race. He saw tbs band
writing ou the wall and knew his po
litiual destiny was i eal and forever if
be continued longer in the race.
At last the famous Georgia possum
is to he protected from the ravages
of tho hunter fiom March Ist to Oc
tober Ist: Mi" McCook of Chatta
boochee county lias introduced a bill
in tin legislature to that c-ffcct. Wo
h ive lived on the (arm all our life and
never knew one killed through the
simmer sensor, and therefore it seems
to boa useless piece of legislation;
but we will offer uo opposition.
Merit
“Merit taller" the HUB u u

Hood’sSnrsapariUa. II wv j
Merit in medicine means the power to
cure. Hood’s Sarsaparilla possesses act ual
and unequalled curative power and there
fore it has true merit. When you buy
Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and take it according
to directions, to purify your blood, or
cure any of the many blood diseases, you
are morally certain to receive benefit.
The power to cure is there. You are not
trying an experiment. It will make your
blood pure, rich and nourishing, and thus
drive out the germs of disease, strengthen
the nerves and build up the whole system.
Hood’s
Sarsaparilla
Is the best, in fact—the One True Blood Purifier.

HOOD’S Sarsaparilla ha- over and

A mast; met ting of citizens met at
the court house according to previous
appointment and elected Prof. R. C.
Alexander chairman and Dr. V. I).
Lockhart secretary.
Object of meeting explained by
chairman, to elect delegates to the
State Convention to be held in Atlanta
on the 18th for tha purpose of nomi
nating candidates for Judges of Su
preme Court.
On motion of Col. Oscar Brown de
cided to sleet four delegates to repre
sent tha county in the convention.

Messrs L. N. Turk, J. N. Coggins,
Doc Carr and P. F. M Furr.

the delegates go uninstructed.
Dr. Lockhart offered to amend the

J. K. Thompson in casting the vote
of Banks county for lion. A S. Clay
for U. S. Senator receives the hearty
approval of our people, and that our
Senator ana Representative should
use idl honorable means in their power
to secure his election. Meeting
adjourned.
R. C. Ai.uxixdkr, Chairman.
V. D. Lockhart, Secretary.
It is passing strange that some of
our democratic members of the legis
lature, who were elected by small
majorities, alter a hard tight in their
behalf by party friends, arc voting for
Atkinson for 'senator and another
4 *
election, before the echoes of the last
one have died away. These gentle
men may desire another political
scramble this year put tfeeir coastitu
cuts do not. It is consoling to feel,
however, that a large majority of the
democrats in the legislature hav had
the nerve and patriotism to rise above
every consideration of a persona!
character, snd have refused to sacri
lieu their convictions of duty upon
the altar of any man’s ambition for
public office,- Lawrencevillo New,,
Oikml Seial For I’lnii't
Question. —l* tim .selection of pood
seed for planting as important as many
think?
Answrr.—Good so-vl is tlio very first
requisite for it good crop, but a great
number of farmers are \ >ry indifferent
on tlii.s point, seeming to thins Mint any
sood of a given plant will product) a good
crop. There could bn no greater mis
take. For instance, take seed of oats or
wheat that h;iH boon cut when the grain
was only half ripe, uud what is tho re
sult? There is an immediate deteriora
tion in the crop, tho yield diminishes,
and smut ami rqsfc are greatly increased.
Let your sood for planting jie always
fully matured and ripened, that, the re
sulting crop may have in it but few im
perfect plants. Seed corn should not bo
selected in tho crib, but in the field,
where tho stalk as well as tho ear can
l seen, juid where by judicious and
I ers stent selection, great improvement
m m7.j of ear and early maturity can be
attained. There is much room for im
provement in the way we select our cot
tonseed for planting, and with more
care m this respect we could consiaoia
bly increase our cotton crop - State Ag
ricuitural Department.

Qdkstion.—On my farm I have just
completed a fish pond, covering about
an acre, and from i toll feet deep. 1J >w
can 1 get some fish to stock it. and want
kind would yon w-ommend?
Ansm hk. —Captain J. 1). Edmonds.m
of Laliraugo is too fish superintendent
for this state and you should write to
him on the subject, Carp and tench
have been the fish most usually selected
for our ponds, ou account of the ease !
with which they thrive and multiply,
but they are poor fish for tiio table, and
I would recommend for your pond the
black bass or trout and the bream, both
of which ere very line table fish, aud
being very game, afford much sport in
the catching. If the government does
not distribute these last, yon might find
out from the fish superintendent where
they can bo obtained. The speckled
cattish is also a g.,. pond fish.—State

(jUi:sTi6\ —How do horses acquire
tho h.fbd of balking, and can they be
cured of it?
Axswkh.—The balking habit iu horses
is not a natural or inherited one, but is
taught them through bad or car loss
driving. When first acquired, by ex
ercising great cave, tins fault may be 1
corrected. Never whip a bulky lmrse
or use any harsh means whatever to
subdue him. Nothing but gentle moans
will avail anything, unless you want to
utterly ruin the animal. When tin* i
bad habit is once thoroughly acquired,
it is considered incurable and the ani
mal is rendered almost worthless.—State i
