WEEKLY CIRCULATION, 1,750.
JA8. E. BROWN. Editor.
TO OUR PATRONS.
We are under many obligations to
those of our patrons who have so gen
great
<ical of money.
j “As a rule, the man who has
1 first-class security can always get
money, when it is to be had, at the pre
vailing rate of interest. Those who
haven’t good security must pay interest
in proportion to the risk that is ta
ken.”
Gbenny & Violett, of New Orleans,
, , in reporting the condition of the cotton
erously and promptly come forward °. T , . . .
J 1 ‘ market on Wednesday last, says: “The
during the past month or so and set- j t; 4 ki n gs here were 13,500 bales and £c
tied their subscription dues, and we ; advance was paid in a number of cases,
take this method of returning thanks The large business to-day leaves no
for the same. There are a great many, ! doubt t)liat spinners are beginning to
however, who are yet in arrears, and
though the amounts are generally
small, in the aggregate the sums thus
flue would foot up considerably over
$2,000. We have done our best to fur
nish a good paper—a paper w'orth all,
;ind even more, than the price of sub
scription—and it is nothing but right
that we receive promptly what is due
us. Please observe the printed date
<m the margin of your paper, and if
you are in arrears be good enough to
call and settle, or remit by mail. We
have about seventeen hundred names
on our list, and it would be a physical
impossibility to get around and see
all of our patrons personally.
This is not intended as a dun, but a
simple business statement, and will be
so regarded by our friends we feel as
sured. We need the money.
realize the siiuation and show signs of
uneasiness at the outlook. A prorni
nent New York house wires us that
cotton asserts itself and bears are not
worth considering. A glance at the
closing to-night shows that the loss
caused by Bradstreet’s report has been
fully recovered and in the face of per
sistent attacks by the bears, backed up
by a rush of receipts sufficiently heavy
to keep the world in a state of
wonder at their volume. To-day the
market looks in a stronger position
than before the drop, and with the
daily decreasing movement bids fair
to advance rapidly.”
The Cotton Factory.
Owing to the short time allowed the
committee in which to canvass for sub
scription and report, it was decided
to postpone the cotton factory meeting
appointed for Wednesday afternoon
last until NEXT WEDNESDAY AF
TER NOON, AT 2 OC’LOCK, at
which time the various committeemen
are requested to make their reports.
The meeting will be held in the Court
house.
About, $10,000 has been secured since
our last publshed report, and by Wed
nesday next it is expected that the
grand total will reach $00,000 or $65,000.
Temporary organization will be ef
fected next Wednesday, also, by the
election of officers. A full attendance
of our citizens, both city and country,
is desired.
Troubles of Loan Companies.
The foreign loan companies which have
been loaning money in the Southern
and Western States at a high rate of
interest for several years past, seem
to be meeting with some trouble in get-
ting their money back. The Savannah
yen-s has been outspoken in its opposi
tion to this foreign loan system from
the tirsf, and never lets ah opportunity
pass when it can put in a word to dis
courage these operations, particularly
in the. South. Commenting upon the
troubles experienced by some of
v t hese companies recently in prosecuting
their claims in the Courts of the coun
try, the News says:
“They ought to have known that
farmers cannot pay the exorbitant
rate's of interest which they demand.
A man who is in great need of money
will agree to pay almost any rate of
interest, and will give a mortgage on
his land to secure the payment of prin
cipal and interest. He will alsa sub
nit to almost any conditions which the
money lender may ask, hoping that by
some means lie will be able to meet his
obligations when they become due. In
most cases, however, lie hasn't the
money to pay either the mortgage or
the interest on it when pay-day arrives,
lie must, therefore, involve himself
-.till further in debt or lose his land.
Mr. Carlisle is in favor of reducing
the surplus by abolishing the tariff du
ty on certain articles of necessity and
reducing it on others. In this position
he is supported by the Democratic par
ty. Mr. Randall is also in favor of re
ducing the surplus, but lie would ac
complish this by abolishing the tax on
tobacco and whiskey, allowing the tar
iff on sugar, rice and other necessaries
to remain as now fixed. In this anom
alous attitude he is sustained neither
by public sentiment nor by the party
which he assumes to represent.
Argument in the Woolfolk trial was
concluded yesterday and the case given
to the jury. After remaining out
twelve minutes the jury returned a ver
dict of guilty. Judge Gustin has fixed
Friday, Febuary 10th, as the day of ex
ecution. Woolfolk’s counsel will carry
the cjvsc to the Supreme Court.
Judge James S. IIook, of Richmond
county, has been appointed State
School Commissioner to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Dr. G. J. Orr.
who died last Sunday.

A Tear to the Memory of Departed
Friends.
“The year is passing, too, away;
The hours are closing fast.”
Another cycle will soon roll its pon-
drous wheels, with all its weight of hu
man thoughts aud deeds, into the
unending ages of eternity ! What a
record ! Failure and success, weal and
woe ! Fraud, ignominy, blasphemy,
anarchv, poverty, endurance ! What
an array ! Well has the sage declared—
“The world, in the eye of the philoso
pher, is a mad house."
But leaving out the remarkable
demises, the execution of law's severest
demands, the success of fraudulent and
unprincipled corporations, and politi
cal strifes, our own little cosmos has
had more than mere “ripples” to con
tort fair archives, or corrugate the even
tenor of our way. As I recall the faces
of mv daily companions, the loved pu
pils of my charge, one is missing from
the band that numbered two score.
The blue eyes will ne'er again till with
tears, nor the fair young girl so shyly
hand, me a bouquet of wild-flowers; for
Susie Gresham passed away with the
blue spring violets she loved so well,
fit semblance of her modest look and
mien. We placed a knot of these, true
and loveliest beauties of the glad
spring-time beside her pale young brow,
the tribute of her classmates and
teachers, and beneath the roses and
daisies she sleeps well. *
But, from anear and afar my friends
have been “gathering home." From
the East and the West has come the
tiding of many who are now “resting
beneath the shade of the trees." Among
that goodly number, with a sob and a
moan of deep pain 1 learned the sud
den death of a friend of “long syne”—
Mrs. W. (J. Snead. A similar provi
dence o’ershadowed us both. Of like
profession, (she choosing the higher
one. Music, the only science contin-
But faithful, and foremost, she rallied,
E’en at the brink of the tomb.
Scatter the fairest of flowers.
Strains of sweet music repeat;
All that is beaming or lovely,
Trophies we lay at her feet.
Cover the sod with pure emblems.
Hor smile will ne'er greet us again;
Leave her with God and t he angels.
The dew and the soft falling rain.
Lodi, Ga., Dec. 10th, 1887. L. L.
Dr. W. R. King, Specialist,
Who has within the past seven years
made such a deserved reputation in the
treatment of chronic diseases in South
west Georgia and Southeast Alabama,
is now, and has been in LaGrange, Ga.
for the past four months, and has cured
very many of Troup county’s best citi
zens, both male and female, of old
chronic troubles. If you have Hemor
rhoids or Piles, or any other rectal dis
ease, I)r. King will cure you without
knife, ligature or any other painful
operation, in from 10 to 30 days. No
charge made if you are not cured. If
you have a Cancerous trouble and have
not waited too long, the Doctor will
cure you without the knife, caustics or
other painful operations. If you
have Uterine (womb) or Skin Diseases,
Catarrh of the. Nose, Throat and Ear,
you can be successfully treated. The
Doctor refers you to Dr. Bryant, and
Mrs. M. J. Render, of Greenville, Ga.;
to Drs. Calloway and Baugh, C. D.
Hudson, John H. Glanton J. G. Truett,
George Truett, Capt. J. G. Whitfield,

Capt. JohnD. Johnson, W. H. Huguley,
Capt. Thos. J. Eady, Dr. Miller, drug
gist, all of West Point, Ga., and to
George W. Jenkins, of Chipley, Ga.,
and could give the names of very many
citizens of Columbus, Ga., who were
patients of the Doctor’s some five years
since. The Doctor has arrangements
for cheap board in private families for
all patients from a distance. “Procra:
tination is the thief of time.” Why
will you suffer when you can be cured?
Why?

Doctor; he will treat you right. Con
