Mr. Editor:—The roads and the
weather are both in bad condition, and
l reckon the grand jury next week will
try to get true bills against both weath
er and roads.
Grandma Benton has been quite sick,
but is better at this writing.
I have had a severe attack of asthma,
and feel like I had been run through
one of Newnan’s law thrashes. Those
lawyers that got the floor on me last
week doubtless feel a little empty after
letting off so much legal lore; but now
I have the floor. As to Judge Carle-
ton’s remark that my friendship for
Mr. Itoaning was so great that I could
not swear the truth, is a pretty heavy
charge to come from a man who is al
most an entire stranger to me and to
the people of the county. I have lived
in this county over thirty years, anil
the citizens know whether I am of
doubtful veracity or not. I think law
yers ought to have respect for people’s
feelings, instead of heaping uncalled for
abuse upon them because they don’t
swear to suit their side of an issue. I
am a friend to any man who may be
treated as Mr. Roaning was. I was al
so surprised to hear Judge C. say that
bailiffs ought to be encouraged in rop
ing the citizens of this county, or lan
guage to that effect—and others under
stood him as I did.
What Col. Bob Freeman said about
my forming public opinion against Mr.
Morgan cannot be substantiated by in
vestigation. I never w T rote one word
for the papers on that subject. ,No less
than fifty persons saw Mr. Roaning
while tied, before he reached my
house. Col. Freeman’s insinuation
that I was dealing out law for Roaning
to make his escape was equally unwar
ranted. I only proposed to take charge
of Mr. Roaning until he could make his
bond—that was all. Bob said it was
not presumed that Justices of the
Peace should know the law, for he had
been a Justice of the Peace himself, or
something to that effect. I know Jus-
tices of the Peace are sneered at by a
great many lawyers, and higher Courts;
but three times out of five the decis
ions of Justices of the Peace are sus
tained by the Supreme Court, and de
cisions of the Superior Court Judges
reversed on the same issue. It is a
wonder that Justices of the Peace do
as well as they do when many of them
have to hold Court out in the open air,
no matter how bad the weather may
be. It is impossible, under these cir
cumstances, for them to keep their
dockets neat and legible. Justice
Court-houses should be erected in ev
ery militia district in the county before
you cast any more slurs at Justices of
the Peace.
It is said to be a poor rule that won’t
work both ways; but there is one they
won’t let work both ways, and that is in
not allowing cases to be brought down
from the Superior or higher Courts to
the Justice Courts. 1 think it is get
ting time the bottom rail should have
some showing. These higher Courts
need some one to correct their errors,
and as most of the suits begin in the
Justice Courts, I think they are the
tribunals to straighten out the higher
Courts.
Judge Powell’s decision is much talk
ed of up here, and the subject of gen
eral criticism.
Two big freezes on Tnesday and
Wednesday mornings. Although 1
don’t think the oat crop is hurt, I fear
the peach crop is damaged somewhat,
where the trees are in advance of the
weather.
While in town last week I was invi
ted to dine at Jim Reid's resturant.
Jim knows just how to have things fix
ed up for the hungry. If any one
wants a good square meal, go to Reid’s
restaurant. It don’t cost much, and
you will get the worth of your money
and feel happy all over.

if the other sections would confer so
high an honor upon one so welljquafified
for the position. The Hon. Levi Bal
lard will make a good Senator, and our
county should be willing to accept him
for the same.
Rev. M*r. Sanders met his congrega

Mr. Jas. Wallace and Mr. J. M. Shell
were off to the Gate City last week.
The family of Mr. James Shell are

Miss Rosa Drake has opened school
in the Summer settlement.
In my last article I am made to say
“Small” when “Arnall” was intended,
and .“Whatley” where “Arnall” was
again intended. It was Arnall’s child
that was burned instead of Small’s.
Last Monday was a cold day, and
those peach blooms that were out were
just too early.
Some of the farmers were aiming to
plant corn this morning, but the rain
and bad weather interfered.
March 1st. R. A. T.
Gov. Gordon Broke Again.
Washington Ixjtter.
I was told the other day that Gov
ernor and ex-Senator John B. Gordon,
of Georgia, was “flat-broke” again, some
enterprise in which he had been engag
ed having proved a disastrous failure.
Gen. Gordon is one of tiie most popular
men in the South. His integrity and
sincerity have never been questioned.
The number of his friends is only limi
ted by the number of his acquaintances.
But he has been singularly unfortunate
in his commercial ventures, and is now-
looked upon as a sort of Jonah. He re
signed from the senate because an op
portunity to make a large sum of money
w-as offered him, and he was too con
scientious to accept it while he was re
ceiving the pay and sustaining the re
sponsibilities of a Senator, lie made
the money, I am told, but has since
lost it all. Few men have had so many
chances to become rich as General Gor
don, for he lias successful friends, and
friends willing to help him. But he
has not the faculty of keeping his mon
ey.
Speaking of this peculiarity of Gor
don’s, I am reminded of what his suc
cessor in the Senate, old “Joe” Brown,
said not long ago of him;
“If any one w-ere to give Gordon one
hundred silver dollars and lock him in
a room, he would lose half of it before
he could get them counted.”
Political Pull is a Rattier
Uncertain thing to depend upon as a
basis for obtaining the necessaries of
life. With the frequent changes of
party somebody is sure to get left, so
that on the whole any man of brains
and ability is really fortunate if, by
missing a fat public job, he is compelled
to take up some such business as an
agdncv for Dr. Foote’s “Plain Home
Talk,” which is sure to be a good pay
ing business as long as he will devote
himself to it. A really popular medical
book such as “Plain Home Talk” sells
at p 11 times and in all places, and often
the best ground for the agency is that
which has already been plowed over
once or twice by an agent. There is
room for all who will apply to the
Murray Hill Publishing Co., 129 East
28th St., N. Y., and “first come, first
served.”
The Atlanta Constitution has at last
deigned to notice the Farmers’ Alliance,
and seems suddenly alive to the fact
that it is a very enterprising movement.

Mr. Editor:—No one in tills section

CARRIAGE AND BUGGY WORKS.
We are now prepared to do all kinds ©f Carriage,
Buggy and Wagon work, and in a style that cannot be
excelled in the State, or anywhere else. Our work
men are skillful and efficient; our material the best
that money will buy; our equipment thorough and
complete in every department. In fact, we have spar
ed neither pains nor expense in preparing for the bus
iness, and our facilities for doing work in this line are
first-class in every respect.
We have on hand the finest lot of material ever put into buggy or carriage work in this
section of the State, and workmen that know exactly how to put it together. We do not
get our vehicles “knocked down,” from the North, as many other manufacturing firms do, but
make them out and out. This is our strongest recommendation. We manufacture—
CARRIAGES, PHAETONS,
LANDEAUS, HEARSES.
ROAD-CARTS, BUGGIES,
SULKEYS, WAGONS ETC.
We are also prepared to do all kinds of carriage, buggy and wagon repair work, in the
best style and at the lowest prices. Plantation work and horse-shoeing a specialty.
Give us your work; we guarantee satisfaction.

SPRING SPECIALTIES!
WE HAVE JUST RECEIVED FOR THE SPRING
TRADE—
5 Flogsheads Genuine Cuba Molasses, direct importation,
and the best made.
20 Barrels Eastern Seed Irish Potatoes, including the old-
fashioned “Pink-Eye,” “Early Rose,” “Early Goodrich,” “Bur
bank,” and “Peerless.”
ioo Packages Choice Sorghum Seed for free distribution
among our farmer friends. There are two varieties, “Texas
Honey Drip” and “Early Orange,” and are said to be very
fine.
25 Bushels Select Tennessee Seed Corn, just received.
We have one hundred suits of Fall and Winter Clothing,
which will be offered for the next two weeks at greatly reduc
ed prices, in order to make room for our spring stock. We
prefer closing them out at a sacrifice to packing them away,
where the moth doth corrupt and thieves break through and
steal.
COTTON SEED MEAD!
We offer for sale Cotton Seed Meal, or would exchange for
Seed where parties desire to do so. At present prices of Meal
and Seed, thirty bushels of the latter would pay for sufficient
Meal to manufacture one ton of Guano—requiring, in addi
tion, the proper proportions of the cheaper ingredients—Acid
Phosphate and Kainit.
We give below reports as to results obtained from Meal,
properly composted.
Hon. J. T. Henderson, in his report of the Soil-Test of Fer
tilizers, conducted under the direction of the State Chemist at
Athens, Ga., says the object of the experiment was—
“To test the result of fertilizing with a cheap composted fertilizer compared
with equal quantities of high-priced commercial fertilizers. A compost wae
made of the following substances in the relative proportion named, viz:
Acid Phosphate 1250 lbs.
Cotton Seed Meal 500 lbs.
Kainit 250 lbs.
“This was applied on one portion of the plat side by side with three standard
fertilizers, A, 15, and C, each at the rate of 800 lbs. per acre. The plat contained
four sections, whose area was each one-half acre.

“The mixture described above produces better results than the average of th^
three fertilizers used in competition with it. As it costs about half as much a»

Special prices made to clubs, and full directions given for
mixing the compost.
McBRIDE & CO., Newnan, Ga.
We would caution our customers against mixing and selling this compost,
unless the State inspection fee of 50 cents per ton is paid. There is no law,
however, to prevent a farmer from manufacturing fertilizers for use on his own
laud.
