BANKS COUNTY GA/KTTi; ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. Entered at the Pottofflee at Homer 6a. on second daft* matter. Kato of SnlM'Tlplinn < a!t: VM rtm r fiO ftlxmonth* 25 CHAR P.tOSIIY, El>lTOa ATI BU-HFR HOMER, GA„ XOV. 19, 1*96 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! • Piesidcnt CUveland fixes Thursday 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 intrinsic vuluo ot I I Bar 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. Prepared only by C. 1. Hood ft Cos., Lowell, Muss. Hood’s Pills HOOD’S Sarsaparilla ha- over and over again proved l*y its oiuvs, when all oilier prep rations failed, that it is the One True fiiLOOD Purifier. Democratic Meeting. Homer, Ga., Nov. 14 1896. 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. Delegates elected by ballot as follows: Messrs L. N. Turk, J. N. Coggins, Doc Carr and P. F. M Furr. Moiiou by Mr. J. Vr. Sumpter that the delegates go uninstructed. Dr. Lockhart offered to amend the motion so as to strike out the word uniLiHtructed and substitute that thev be instructed to vote tor Judge Caber of the Blue Ridgo circuit and Andrew J. Cobb. Amendment adopted. The following resolution was of fered by Col. Oscar Brows which wa adopted unanimously Resolved, That the course of Hop. 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. Stocking FUti Fond. 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 Agricultural Department. llalkitis; HorM. (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 Agricultural Department. Nobody need have Neuralgia. Cot l>r.
