J/r. Editor:—Comments upon the
weather at this time would seem super
fluous, as that is the present all-absorb
ing subject. Although it is seemingly
quite a drawback to all farming opera
tions, yet in a month or two it will only
be remembered as a thing of the past.
Well, we are gliding into the current
of the general farming system. We
expect to plant the larger portion of
our farm in cotton; very little in corn.
The plea is that it brings the money
and our hope is to get 7c. or 8c. per
pound next fall. How we farmers do
succumb !
We have been somewhat interested
and amused in reading a letter dated
“Rio Janiero, January 15th,” and pub
lished in last Sunday’s Macon Daily
Telegraph. Living in that city at the
time, we have some recollection of the
then current history of the robbery
spoken of in the letter. The robbery
was an accomplished fact—no doubt
about that—but the details in the let
ter seem to be wanting in verity. From
our standpoint, the pith of the matter
centers in the old Sergeant. The editor
said the receipt of the letter had al
most set the old Sergeant wild. That’s
a mistake—he was wild before. We
happened to know him when he was a
boy, and he always made pranks a
specialty. His wonderful discovery, a
few years ago, of his wonderful “Mag-
no Diston Cotton” gave him a notori
ety extending even beyond our own
hemisphere. We also have some recol
lection about that wonderful snake and
pig story at McCall’s mill. The idea
of getting up a joint stock company of
ten shares at $100 each to buy the
machinery necessary to raise the old
sunken boat in the river, may seem very
plausible to the uninitiated, and it
does seem like a great pity that some
body should have to stick a pin into
this highly-inflated wind-pouch.
The Rev. D. Nolan and his aged
companion expect to celebrate their
golden wedding the 29th inst., and have
arranged for a family reunion on that
occasion. We hope the event may be
enjoyed by all. If we mistake not, we
celebrated our golden wedding ove;
thirty years ago. At all events, we
were happy,—you bet.
The infant babe of Mr. and Mrs. J.
Y. Nolan is very sick.
Mr. J. J. May, of Waco, Ga., is in
town this week, shaking hands with
old friends. We are always glad to see
his genial face.
Miss Emma Elliott, of Griffin, is vis
iting friends here. She returns home
to-day.
We regret the taking off of Captain
Littleton’s train this week. While it
may not have been a source of revenue
to the road, it was a great convenience
to the traveling public.

taele here last evening. A negro came
from Griffin on Captain Croft’s train so
drunk that he had lost all conscious
ness, speech, and power of action; he
was as limber as a wet rag, and, strange
to say, no one, black or white, knew
him. That is a specimen of what the
liquor sellers of Griffin and their allies
are doing. Making drunkards, widows
and orphans; cut-throats, thieves and
robbers. They are making anything
but decent, honest people. If this
thing goes on, alas! for the coming gen
eration of Griffin. Vincent.

Turin.
Mr. Editor:—As notes from’this place
were prepared previous to the storm of
last week, nothing was mentioned
about it. Although severe and exciting,
I am happy to report that no serious
damage was sustained. During the
gust storm-pits were made a refuge by
t hose who have them prepared. For th e
moment, silent ejaculations and many
side-prayers were in order. Solemn
scrutiny played its part, while vows of
amends found willing asserters. Even
the man who made affidavit that his
wife was sick in order to get his quart,
had something to say. Upon the whole,
our section has ample grounds for de
vout offerings.
The freeze last week about ended our
calculations for peaches this year. The
crop is killed, and few will be the
peaches of this section, if any at all.
The small grain crop is promising, so
far.
The rains are retarding farm work.
The farmers are buying great quanti
ties of guano, as though debts and
bread depended upon it. The idea pre
vails with some that from three to six
tons must he used to the plow. Cheap
ness and credit is just the thing that in
volves so many.
The hard weather of the present
month is beginning to tell upon cattle.
They now need some of the cotton seed
that were shipped out of the county
last fall, and which is now being ship
ped back at compound rate. March
and April are hard months for cattle,
and especially milch cows.
Turin’s young people had a caudy-
pull ing last week.
Mr. Ben. F. Cock, Jr., attended
church in this place last Sabbath.
Tobacco habits, like whiskey indul
gences, increase morbid appetites. Some
claim it to be the “parent of drunken
ness.” The expense, aside from its
more objectionable features, make it a
thing to be loathed. That men indulge
in the filthy habit in the house of God
is strange, but that women should do
so is more surprising. Your Senoia
scribe should visit some of the country
churches, if he desires to see how
far the ladies are from such desecra
tions as were mentioned by him last
week. It is a sad commentary that some
of the fairer sex indulge the habit of
chewing tobacco and, like the opposite
sex, must spurt—even if it be in the
house of God. It is a down riirlit
shame for any one to smear the sanc
tuary of God with the filthy ooze.
During the heavy rains this week
the streams have been greatly swollen.
Mr. Elbert Hicks smiles, because it is
a hoy at his house this time.

Notes From Old McIntosh.
Mr. Editor:—“To see the sun is
pleasant” (vide Webster’s spelling
book) is but a paraphrase of Solomon’s
assertion, “And a pleasant thing it is
for the eyes to behold the sun”—which
sentiment the public is prepared to ap
preciate after the weather of the past
four days. The mere enjoyment of
the thing, however, is not to be consid
ered in view of the serious damage and
hindrance resulting from such contin
ued and heavy rains.
Perhaps your correspondent should
ask pardon of soipe of your very fastid
ious readers for allusion to so hackney
ed a subject as the weather. But it
must be remembered that in so quiet a
community as ours the weather and its
results is about the most important
theme with which one has to deal. To
be sure, we gc to church twice a month.
Last Sunday, for instance, a “small but
select” congregation enjoyed the min
istration of the Word from the lips ol
Rev. J. B. Hunnicutt. From his text,
Judges 5:23, he enforced the duty ol
all, especially Christians, to “come up
to the help of the Lord against the
mighty.” “The mighty” includes all
evil, but the preacher specified in
strongest terms the monster, intemper
ance, and the sin of gambling especial
ly, as exemplified in the wide-spread
and delusive form of speculation, in all
its forms, which he denounced as the
present cause of much of the poverty
and consequent distress in our land.
Next Saturday the second quarterly
meeting for this circuit will convene at
Mt. Gilead. The services of the Sun
day following will, of course, be of uni
versal interest.
Allow me, Mr. Editor, in speaking of
church services, to thank your Senoia
correspondent, “Vincent,” (whose let
ters, by the way, are always interesting
and often edifying,) for his well-timed
words on the subject of tobacco chewing
in church. This blot of civilization has
for years moved the indignation of de
cent people, and it is strange that those
in authority do not exact and enforce
laws against that and every other dese
cration of the sanctuary. “Vincent”
gallantly remarks, “Ladies are never
guilty of such breaches of propriety.”
We trust not, and yet, in the service of
truht, we must confess that we “have
somewhat against” our own sex, who
in gratitude for what our religion has
done and is doing for woman, should
he a model of behavior in church. Of
course, it is only among the young that
there is cause for complaint; but it
seems that even in the youngest who
have reached years of accountability,
there should be so much of the spirit of
reverence for God’s house and confess
ed presence as would suppress all incli
nation to levity during the services of
the sanctuary. This evil must be grow
ing. In late issues of the LaGrauge
Reporter and The Herald and Ad
vertiser we have noticed strictures
on the subject; therefore, it the more
behooves all who care for such things
to “come up against the mighty.”

Congress wants to put that $155,000,00b
in circulation, just let them pay off
the national debt with it and stop thr
interest, which amounts to more than
the tariff the people pay on foreign
goods.
There is a great deal of sicknea*
throughout this section. Col. G. R
Sanders is very low with influenza an«
general debility; Mr. D. P. Power is
quite sick with pneumonia; Mr. B. C-
Sanders is down with pneumonia; Mr.
Joe Dukes and wife have a very sick
child; Mr. T. J. King and wife have two
ick daughters; Rev. Mr. Mullens i-
quite sick; Mrs. William Mullens is sick:
Mrs. Irwin Sewell is in bed sick; Mr.
L. M. Carter has a very sick child.

I think, on examination, thero will

thing is certain, the poor folks’ favoriti-
fruit never fails—the blackberry and
persimmon crops are as sure as the sun
rises and sets. The Lord is good to
poor folks in a heap of ways, and it is
said that His eyes are always upon
them.

“Vincent” Corrected.
Mr. Editor:—Please allow me space
in The Herald and Advertiser to
call attention to a few inaccuracies in
“Vincent’s” recent statement in regard
to the mismanagement of the fanners
of this section.
In his figures in regard to the amount
of flour purchased by them he says
that they bought 189,000 pounds at $2.30
per hundred, and he makes this to bi
worth $47,250, when it only comes to
$4,725—quite a difference.
He asks why we plant so much cotton
ind so little grain. He must recollect
that the farmers of this county lost
30,000 bushels of corn last year by the
July freshets—one man alone losing
5,000 bushels—and, surely, they are not
responsible for the rain. He also lec
tures the farmers roundly for selling
19,000 bushels of cotton seed, but says.
“All do not sell; there are a few noble
exceptions.” Now let us see: We will
take Jiis estimate of the cotton crop for
last season, viz: 7,000 bales. At 80
bushels to the bale we have 210,000;
take the 19,000 bushels sold from the
210,0(>0 produced and we have 191,900
bushels still in the hands of the fann
ers. Now, the “few noble exceptions”
must have made all the seed, or he has
placed the good people of the Firs!
district in a false light.
He asks if the farmers of Coweta
have as much as 1.000 acres sowed in
small grain. The farmers of the Second
district have double that amount. Now.
“there is something the matter.” Hi
says it is not the tariff ; that all out
liai’d earnings go to the North ant)
W est. It certainly does not go into Un
hands of the Western farmers, if wr
are to believe newspaper accounts; for
we read that their lands are irredeem
ably mortgaged. If they are in such t
bad condition by raising grain and stock
there must be some other cause.
As to his little flings at the Alliance.
I will not notice them. We have al
heard of the little dog that harked
the moon. “Vincent” may bark a*-
much as he wishes, but the Alliance
moves on all the same.
I heard a prominent citizen and bank
er remark the other day that he did sir
know any class of men who man
aged their business better, or weri
shrewder than the majority of th-
farmers.
Now, “Vincent,” buy a pair of bro-
gans, some hickory shirting and jean-
pants, and come out in the country an-
show us how to manage. We are wil;
ing to learn by precept and exampl*.
but don’t give us so much advice fre-'
of charge. Come, “Vincent;” a wan-
welcome awaits you. Farmer.

After looking over the list of stock
holders of the Newnan Cotton Factory
I have come to the conclusion that, if
the protective system of our govern

will he a success and a paying invest

nan enterprise, hut of all other similar
industries in the South. We are doing
well, and why not let well enough
alone? Lots of folks spoil fortunes, just
because they overdo the thing. If an
individual owed money like this Gov
ernment does, and then had plenty
hoarded up and wouldn’t pay his debts,
he would he called a grand rascal. If I had ready to plant
