SEASON 1888!

Mr. Editor:—I)r. F. M. Brandy, wlv>
extended his visit from Macon to por
tions- of Southwest Georgia, has return
ed and reports the business of the s>?c-
t ion visited as encouraging.
.radge B. F. Cock and his daughter,
Miss Ida, returned Tuesday from tLeir
visit to the centennial of the Baptist
church at Bark Camp, Burke county.
The occasion was-greatly enjoyed. We
would here state that Judge Cock uni
ted with that church fifty years ago—
hence his visit there.
Mrs. M. H. Couch has also returned
from her visit to Borne.
Mr. and Mrs. .T. T. Jones, Mr. and
Mrs. M. II. Couch, and Mr. and Mrs.
C. B. Watts, with Prof. Otis Jones and
some of our juveniles, are off on a fish
ing frolic to-day. The day is lovely,
and there is plenty of water, but our
opinion is the fish are not hungry.
Well, the guano season is over—until
next fall. There lias been about elev
en hundred tons received,, and could
orders have been filled no doubt the re
ceipts would have reached fifteen hun
dred tons—three hundred more than
last season.
Cotton receipts about 6,100 bales.
Cotton chopping will be the order of
the day for some time. Vincent.

Mr. Editor .-—The school at this place
did not close last 3veek, as we stated,
but will continue until the first day of
J une.
Dr. J. II. Hall writes that he will be
present and will preach the dedication
sermon at Starr’s mill on the third Sab
bath in May. There will be preaching
both on Saturday and Sunday, As
there are quite a number of fine singers
near the place, it is desired that they
attend the services and aid in rendering
the music.
Prof. Albert Thurman is enjoying his
vacation at home.
At this penciling ram is needed for
wheat and oats. Bust has appeared in
the wheat and farmers predict another
chaffy crop. Should this prove true,
then good-bye to wheat-sowing in tlii-
sect ion, for many are already discour
aged by previous disasters and in a
manner have abandoned sowing.
Fried chicken is beginning to be hand
ed around, and it just beats the tariff
question “out of sight.” How is it that
some men’s wind never tires on the tar
iff issue? It seems to me that the back
of this question might be a little chafed
by this time. I suppose that if there
were no money in the United States
Treasury the clatter and the rattle on
the question would subside quickly. A
full treasury is far preferable to an
empty one, and shows that the govern
ment, after all the fuss that lias been
raised, is in a good financial condition.
It will be well if the people of the Uni
ted States never feel the burdens of
taxation more than they do now. It is
not a bad idea to take care of the mon
ey belonging to the government; nay,
by all means let that be done. In years
gone by cotton was cheap because, in
part, there tvefre not the shipping facil
ities ive noiv enjoy. Often the streams
were low and not boatable, and there
5vould be an accumulation of cotton in
the interior until the price was only
nominal. In conversation with an old
gentleman the other day lie remarked:
“This is a bountiful country and I have
never known goods cheaper.” Is that
true? Then why so much complaint
about the oppression of the govern-
ment? Stop the extortion at home
and then all will be right! Some twen
ty years or more ago one-tenth of all
that was made went to the support of
the government, and then the people
thought that indeed they had a right
to murmur against high taxation, and
so they did. But just think of it now,
and what a contrast ? Let’s stop fret
ting about heavy burdens.

Most any of “us” will make trades,
when ive can trade our way. Ask Mr.
Cul> Barnett how he wanted to trade
his pretty little buggy last Sunday eve.
Six hundred quarts of strawberries
have been shipped from here during
the past six days. These berries were
gathered from not exceeding six acres
of land, and have netted one hundred
dollars or a little more- These are
facts—no guessing about it. Mr. Smith,
an experienced nurseryman, says they
will be shipping berries.from here dur
ing the month of June 1 it is seasona
ble.
Mrs.. Seleta Drake,, formerly of this
community, notv of Paulding county,
departed this life on Sunday, April 22,
at her home. Her nearest relatives
to mourn her loss were two step sons
and a nephew. Mrs. Drake has quite a
number of friends who will hear of her
death witli sadness. Francis Drake,
her husband, had preceded her four
years and six months. What a joyful
meeting of loved ones in heaven there
will be for those who have been faith
ful. The bereaved ones have our sym
pathy.

Mr. Editor:—Miss Zue Beavers is
quite sick.
Mrs. J. B. Newton has returned homo
from Centre, Cherokee county, Ala.,
after a visit of six weeks to her son,
Levi Newton.
At Major T. F. Jones’ the other day
Misses Pearl Jones and Florence Beese
drew up a bucket of water from the well,
and as they reached out for the buck
et they discovered a water moccasin
wrapped around the rope, which
they had drawn from the bottom of the
well. The little misses held heroically
to the crank until help arrived anil his
snakeship was dispatched. Noiv, how
did that snake get into the well? Did
he jump in, or did he come through
some vein from a stream? It is half a
mile to the nearest creek. Ever since
I heard how badly that one treated
Mother Eve, I lta\’e had a dislike for
them, and whenever I see a man abus
ing his wife or babies I think he is more
snake than man.
I ha5-e read of latter day saints, but
I never read of latter day Democrats
until Sam Small, Sam Jones and the
“thiul party” came to tlie front.
I learn that Mr. X. F. Hyde hits a
very sick family—four members of his
household being prostrated with mala
rial fever.
We are needing rain very much. The
ground is as tight as Dick’s hat-band.
Mr. A. B. Hyde and w ife went over
c Hampton last Friday, to visit Mrs.
Hyde's father, Elder II. Jones.
Cotton seed are selling at 30 cents a
bushel at Mineola, Texas.
A great many of tlie citizens in this
part of the county are in favor of abol
ishing tlie new road law for this county
and the City Court of Newnan. They
say the City Court is a heavy tax on
the county, simply to pay one man four
dollars a day the year round, whether
he works or not, and is an intolerable
burden on the people. And, then, the
law discriminates between citizens.
No one but a practical lawyer can be
Judge of the City Court. If he is an
idiot and a lawyer lie is all right. No
other citizen can be Judge—it matters
not how 5vell informed he may be. Tie
may be President of the United States,
or Governor, or United States Senator, i
or Member of Congress, or Represent-!
ative in the Legislature, but he is not!
qualified for City Judge of Newnan. 1
Miss Ann Carter has a bad rising on
one of her fingers.
We had a good singing at Macedonia
last Sabbath evening. Singing at Lib
erty next Sabbath evening.
Elder Zack Ilardigree met his ap
pointment at Liberty last Saturday
and Sunday, and, I learn, preached
tivo excellent discourses.
The people are using more economy
than I haTe ever known them to use.
Nearly everybody sharpens their own
plows tit home. They stick an old !
axe into a block, heat their plo4vs in '
the cook-stove while breakfast is being j
prepared, and sharpen them, which
saves a nickel on each plow. So, the
high tariff stimulation is encouraging
to home industry. Ripples.

Notes From Old McIntosh.
Mr. Editor:—The young people re
port a most pleasant gathering for last
Saturday, on the shore of Carmical’s
pond. Sharpsburg contributed largely
to the number of participants, tv bile
other communities in the district were
well represented. Both Senoia and
Sharpsburg bands furnished music,
and, of course, added greatly to the
enjoyment of tlie occasion. The de
lightful day closed with a party in the
evening at Mr. Sam Walker’s.
A large number of the elite of Xew-
naH’s colored population picnicked last
Saturday on the banks of White Oak.
Mr. R. X. Carmichael and his daugh
ter, Miss Lillie, have been for several
days visiting in their old neigborhooo.
Friends of Mrs. Carmichael will b»
glad to learn that her health ha*
greatly improved since their removal
to Atlanta.
Mrs. Gable, 4vho has been quite sick
for nearly two weeks, is, from last ac
counts, we are glad to learn, improving.
Mr. Daniel Jacobs is visiting among
friends in Carroll.
Our section is still suffering great];,
from drouth. A genuine min-cloml
last Monday p. m. gladdened our anxiou-
hearts, but a few pattering drops were
all that was granted us. The delusm
prospect seems no5v to be succeeded l>5
a spell of dry, cool weather, which, ut
course, has a depressing influence on
growing crops. Subsukiiseil

THE MAY MAGAZINES.
The May number of the Elects
Magazine is filled with interesting mat
ter for cultivated readers. The open
ing paper by Sir Lyon Playfair is a vein
suggestive and illuminating study ot
the effects of applied science une;
trade. Prof. Deroden’s article on Eu
glish Literature and “The Profession
of Letters” are strikingly interesting
papers. Another literary paper of a
historical nature sure to draw attention
is from tlie Westminster Eerie w on
“Hans Sachs; the People’s Goethe oi
the Sixteenth Century. Matthew Ai
noltl’s study of “Civilization in thr
United States,” which has attracted
such wide remark from its trenchant
and incisive, if not always just criti
cism, is one of the features of the num
ber. “The Swarming of Men,” It;
Leonard Courtney, shotting the ten
deucy of men to aggregate like bees
and the dangers of it, is an interesting
article. No. 25 Bond street, Netv York.
Harper's for May is a number of high
standard of merit Tlie frontispiece is
a portrait of Kinglake, tlie historian nl
Lord Raglan in the Crimean war, en
graved from a photograph by Kruell.
The initial article, by B. B. Botvke, on
“London as a Literary Center,’.’ pri
seals many interesting facts about tlu-
writers who have made that great city
their homo. In “Russian Convicts in
the Salt Mines of Iletsk,” 1)4\ Henn
Lansdell, D. !>., relates his personal
experience in Russia among the prison
ers confined in prison or banished t-
Siberia for all kinds of alleged crimes.
Mis view is not the popular one of hor
rors beyond description. Mr. Albert
' F. Heard contributes an article describ
ing the system of alleged law and jus
tice which prevails in Russia, not only
in theory, but. in practice to-day. II<
traces its origin, and points out itr
wcaknesses and yet its adaptability ti
the needs, of the Russian masses. In
the article on t he City of Denver Ed
ward Roberts gives a fpll, crisply told
description of the Queen City of the
Plains, with the Rocky mountains a!
her backend 1 he Mississippi valley at
Inri' feet. The departments show n<

The May number of The Century be
gins a netv volume. Tho opening arti
cle is the first paper of the series In
George Kerman, illustrated by G. A.
Fr isf and Henry Sandham, in which i-
to be recorded the results of The Cen
tury Expedition into Siberia and exam
ination of the exile system. The front
ispiece of this'number is a touching
scene at the Siberian boundary posf.
In the “Author’s Preface,” Mr. Ken
nan relates the circumstances undoi
which he undertook lii.s Siberian mis
sion. The illustrations are numerous,
and there is a full-page map of tlu
route pursued by the travelers on thei:
extraordinary journey. Theodor
Roosevelt, in his series of Ranch aril
cles, describes (and Remington illus
trates) his adventurous and amusing
suit and capture of three boat-thieves.,
a short account of which appeared not
long ago in the newspapers. Two bred
papers appeal especially to the soldic;
audience, but are of general interest je
wel]. The first deals with “The chan
ces of being hit in battle,” being “a
study of regimental losses in the Civil
Ward’ The second describes the fa
mous “Locomotive Chase in Georgia,”
one of the most thrilling incidents ot
tlie war. The Lincoln Life deals espe
cially with the efforts made to keep
the Border States from Secession, am;
Mr. Lincoln appears not only in this
historical setting, but also as a character

The admission of Gen. Joseph E. John
