Site gtrald and.^dwrtisq. BY THE NEWNAN PUBLISHING CO. 8* W• MURRAY, Rupinfmi MKnM^ri OFFICIAL ORGAN OF CiTY AND COUNTY SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, *1.50 A TEAR. Panther Creek. 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. Misses Della and Reaner Reese will leave Newman about the 12th of March for Mineola, Wood county, Texas, on a visit to their uncle, J. M. Moseley, and other relatives. Ripples. Feb. 20th. 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 tion in this place last Sabbath, preach ing to *hem in his usual interesting style. Mr. Jas. Wallace and Mr. J. M. Shell were off to the Gate City last week. The family of Mr. James Shell are having some ups and downs with the mumps. 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. Hen?

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 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. RESULTS IN SEED COTTON: Compost, 899£ lb. per acre.

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. HARDAWAY & HUNTER. HORSES and MOLES! L. S. CONYERS & CO. (At J. S. Anderson’s old stand.)
