Atkinson, Newnan, 6hi.— Dear Sir: We, the undersigned voters of Coweta county, having observed closely your course as a member of - the last Legislature, and believing that you have faithfully discharged the du ties incumbent upon you as a member of that body, and that you have ever acted for the best interest of your con stituency, desire to express ourselves as heartily indorsing your course. Inas much as many of the important ques tions which came before the last Gener al Assembly have not yat been disposed of, and will therefore come up before the next session for final action, wo think it extremely important that the next Legislature be composed of men eminently qualified by experience and ability to deal with the important is sues that must come up at that session. We therefore ask that you become a candidate for re-election, subject to the action of the Democratic party. W. II. Taylor, A. J. Baughn, W. W. Addy, Benj. Hutchinson, P. J. Reeves, J. P. Taylor.

If the farmers of Coweta will pardon these friendly suggestions and act upon them, they will some day find cause to bless such action and thank the adviser. The increasing uncertainty that at tends the production of corn and oats in this climate, calls loudly for some feed crops that will in a measure sup ply their places. We all know German millet will not do it, and we also know milo maize will not; and even if these would, they must be planted annually, and a good crop always leaves the soil impoverished and hardly fit for use for a year after. We do not mean that anything can take the place of corn aud oats; yet something must be done to lessen the cost of stock feed, else farming for profit is out of the question. Try lu cerne on a small scale, and I venture the declaration that no farmer will be disappointed, and all who prepare well will he well paid. Lucerne should be planted in Sep tember or October, and in order to have the soil ready by that time, the preparation should begin in the spring. Select as rich a spot as you have near the lot and plant it in peas about the first week in May, and cultivate the crop of peas. The speckled pea is pre ferred, as they will mature by Septem ber. The soil should be well fertilized in September by frequent plowings, and should the earth be too dry in Septem ber the next month will do, as late as the 20tli. By all means have the soil rich and in good tilth, to insure a good stand and rapid growth. The size of t he seed indicates the quantity to be used, and the manner of planting is about as would obtain in the planting of turnips when sown broadcast. If the winter and spring be as favor able as the past winter and present sea son, cutting and feeding can be gin about the middle of April. Lucerne should be fed green, and the cutting should be done sys tematically;—e. g., begin at a given place and skip none; and when the patch is cut over, the place of begin ning will be ready for the blade again. Many years ago the father of the writer seeded two acres with lucerne. The plat of ground was exceedingly rich and adjoined the horse lot in which ten mules were fed. Two hundred pounds were fed to these ten mules ev ery evening, and at least five more could have been furnished, so rapid vras the growth. My father claimed that these two acres were worth at least- one hundred bushels of corn and a half supply of fodder for the ten mules. Many plant lucerne for hay, and the experience of Capt. H. J. Sargent abundantly justifies a trijil for this pur pose, for it would not be untrue to say that Capt. Sargent saved at least two em tons of hay last season from the acre he has south of his residence In Virginia green soiling, time it looked as if “razors would fly in tlie air.” During the heat of debate on the vexed question of proxies, one sa ble brother rose up in his might and demanded of the chairman if he knew the meaning of “Ipsy Dixie,” and get ting a negative answer seemed utterly humiliated at the idea of his presiding officer’s ignorance. Curtis Beall wound up the proceedings with a characteris tic speech, in which he lammed the white people and gave his race some i good advice by telling them to be lion- ' est if they would be prosperous and respected. Can Such Things Be? What is the matter with Mr. Andrew Carnegie’s employes in Pennsylvania. It seems that* while lie is writing books showing the beauties of a pro tective tariff to the workingman, and going around to banquets and making speeches on the same inspiring subject, to say nothing of the fact that he is making 81,000,000 a year on his protect ed steel mills, his laborers are striking against his proposal to lengthen the hours of work from eight to twelve, and to make two gangs do what three have been doing. , , ,, Not only is this the case, but these same “highly paid” workingmen of Mr. Carnegie’s are organizing free trade clubs—not tariff reform clubs, but out-and-out free trade clubs. Their free trade club at Braddock, Pennsyl vania, already numbers one hundred oi Mr. Carnegie’s employes, and now there is a dispatch from the same place that a call is out, signed by a large number of the Carnegie men, for a free trade demonstration, the call saying, among other things of similar import, that the signers are no longer willing We are now prepared to do all kinds of 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. W e do not ? et our vehicles “knocked down,” from the North, as many other manufacturing firms do, but make them out and out. This is our strongest recommendation. W T e 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.

We this lot at a bargain, inures wholly to the advantage of the capitalist.” . ,, Will not Mr. Carnegie write another book, or make another speech, explain ing why he is so enthusiastic in his advo cacy of a protective tariff, -while hi: employes are clamoring for free trader There are a great many things lost that are found again, and a great many things that are lost and never found. There are deputations lost which can not be gained; there are hopes lost, which come not back again; there are joys and friendships lost; there are thoughts and talents lost which are never found. Every man has at some time lost something, which he would give the world, if it were his, to recover. It may have been but a single pearl from the thread of friendship, or a mere hope of his soul, but it was previously dear to him, and life is sad and dark without it. The smallest things are oftentimes the dearest to the heart of man, as for instance a little wife, a lit tle heir, a-little fortune, a little home. What wonder, then, that when tbew are lost he would give everythin £ he had for their recovery. The Dairy World learned that sever al members of a family were made sick by drinking the milk from a young cow. An investigation was made by that paper with the following result : “In the correspondence we drew out the fact that- the cow was rath er a wild one and had been driven from the auction on a fast run, and that before she had cooled off the milk had been drawn, with the re sults as above stated. We have time and again warned our readers that milk taken from a frightened or heated cow is unfit for use, aud sickness m some form or other is almost sure to follow its use. Every now and then the lamp needs a thorough cleansing. The oil should be carefully emptied away, so as not to leave any dregs in the bottom. This can be put into a bottle and kept for cleaning. When the lamp has been washed the other oil can be pour ed back again, and added to until the reservoir is almost full. Before putting on the glass part that holds the globe and chimney, this too must be thor oughly cleaned. The net work that crosses it must be freed from all impu rities, and all pieces of charcoal wick turned out from the edge. It will be found that the lamp will burn clearly, giving out a bright white light. bought MARKING ’EM DOWN!
