are in fine growing condition,
general condition of the crops is con-1
sideretl a fair average one. Wheat
harvesting is going on, but the yield
will he below an average. The
general rains have been of great help
to the oat crop, increasing the yield en
couragingly.
As to the general condition of the
>itk persons mentioned heretofore, I
am glad to note improvement, with two
or three exceptions. There has, we
believe, been more sickness in our sec
tion for the past few weeks than we
have ever known before at this season
of the year. It is generally dysentery
and kindred troubles.
I)r. F. M. Urantly has returned from
his recent and very pleasant trip to
Texas.
Mr. T. E. Atkinson is off on a visit to
.A. f 1 t •
Dr. Cleveland, 1 dentist,) of Griffin,
made a professional visit here this week.
Messrs. J. M. Couch & Co. are go
ing to put a nice soda-water fount in
their drug store, which will be quite an
attraction these warm days as a luxury.
Mr. W. II. Goldsmith has gotten up
a rather interesting piece of mechanical
ingenuity. A11 arm-chair is framed and
well fitted together in a half-pint square
bottle, the mouth of the bottle being
half an inch in diameter.
There may be seen occasionally upon
our streets' a gentleman in a little
three-wheeled wagon, or tricycle, pro
pelled by a pair of goats. His lower
extremities are paralyzed—have been
in this state for many years. He has a
wife and a sweet little girl; owns a
house and lot, and all of his surround
ings indicate the utmost care and atten
tion. This pjan is making a good living
for himself and family, and is making
some money. His principal business is
making horse collars, which are in
CT reat demand. He also makes pipes,
and can use the needle to good advan
tage. He is industrious and economi
cal; takes care of his earnings; spends
neither time nor money uselessly.
Now, why do we single out and refer
to this man V Simply that somebody
may read it, and possibly learn a useful
ami practical lesson. If this gentleman,
paralyzed from his hips down, can make
a good living by his indust rious habits,
v....11 excuse can there be for any man
in full possession of bis mental and
physical powers for not making a living?
It is a lesson that ought to put to
shame the many able-bodied men of
tins country, who instead of living
from “pillar to post” ought to be the
proprietors of happy, thrifty homes.
To give some idea of the business
that is being done at Parker’s Mill
(known as Starr’s,) we learn that one
hundred and forty bushels of meal
was sold and delivered there one day-
last week. Vincent.

Messrs. Mixon & Pro. and F. 11.
Steed went up to Atlanta last week
and bought between twenty-five and
forty head of cattle—and, let me tell
you, it takes a hummer to get ahead ot
them on a cow trade.

A few evenings since a lawn party
was given at the residence of Mr. and
Mrs. IV. II. Hill, and it was, indeed, a
most enjoyable occasion to all who at
tended. Mr. and Mrs. Hill did every
thing in their power-to make the party
pleasant. The couples present were :

I learn that Mr. Robert Smith, who
lives just above the Coweta and Camp
bell county line, and a negro man nam
ed Dean had an altercation while hoe
ing in the field one day last week, in
which the negro struck Mr. Smith with
a hoe, breaking both bones of the fore

I learn the particulars of the case.

Why is it that'those living near the
county seat receive more benefit from
the public corn crib that those more re
motely situated? Not three miles from
here, on little White Oak, nearJ. S.

bridge across that treacherous little
stream?
Mr. J. J. Spivev, of Meriwether

Tax Receiver.
Panther Creek.
Mr. Editor:—I made a little visit to
Mr. D. A. Montgomery, near Powell
Statiou, last Sabbath morning. Cousin
Manda had a powerful good dinner and
I ate one more square meal, and feel
all right from the same. «
I saw along the road hundreds of
acres of unchopped cotton. People
seem to be behind with their farm work.
There is in a distance of seven miles, in
view of the road, fully 1000 acres of cot
ton and not exceeding 40 acres in corn.
It is sad to think how wild our farmers
are on cotton, and how neglec-tful of
raising their own supplies. Talk about
Alliances and reform societies, but corn
is the alliance the farmers should be
allied to. Plenty of corn, almost a
cribful, is so nice it makes a fellow
feel his independence. With corn
plenty farmers can assert and boast of
their freedom: without it, they go
moping about just like they had come
out of a long spell of sic kness.
On Sunday evening I attended the
singing at Wise Academy, which is un
der the supervision of Professor .John
Avery. We had an interesting singing
and the best of order. This society
meets on the fourth Sunday evening in
each month. There is nothing more
interesting and entertaining than good
vocal music when properly conducted
j and well executed.

Mr. Editor Dr. A. Q. Young, from
Senoia, visited his parents here last
week.
A new resident in town, and about
the first thing lie’ll do will be to call
Mr. B. M. Couch “pa.”
Miss Xeta Bingham has returned
from a visit to Miss Mary Likens, of
Hogansville.
Dr. J. M. Couch was called to see the
sick in Mr. Henry Gilbert’s family this
week, in Meriwether, a distance of 18
miles. The Doctor reports cotton look
ing splendidly in that section.
Miss Nina McClure has returned from
a visit to relatives at Senoia.
Rev. II. S. Rees has been called to the
pastoral charge of the Baptist church
here and will occupy the pulpit on ev
ery fourth Saturday and Sunday in each
month.
We are under obligations to Miss
Sallie Reynolds for an invitation card
to attend their commencement at
Staunton, Va. The card is tastily
gotten up and the prettiest thing of
the kind we’ve seen.
It has been remarked by a young la
dy now residing here that this place

ihey belong to the railroad.
Hurrah for the candidate for nomina
tion to tlie next General Assembly who

“Zube's” influence is concerned. C’ol-
o:n ], ’tis very limited, but I am proud
of the opportunity to do all I can for
you.
Prof. W. S. Featherston closes his
school here Friday. June 1st. We re
gret to lose tin; Professor and his esti
mable wife even for a short while. We
trust the school will authorize their
arly return. Our people should not
fail to patronize worthy teachers when
;he opportunity is presented.
The strawberry season is about over.
Uncle Joe Couch lias made more money
shipping berries than any one else. He
lias about three-fourths of an acre that
lias netted him, clear of all expense,
$90. Who can say that no money can
be made here tilling the soil? What is
the use in going to Texas, or anywhere
else? I venture to say that if this
statement was read in some Texas pa
per, it would cau^s some man to think
lie would get rich by going there,
whether he worked or not.
Dr. G. E. Camp has a very remarka
ble chicken, though in appearance it is
only a common hen; nevertheless, she
lias two goslings, one thick and a chick
en following her that she scratches for
with as much pride as though they
were all chickens. Zubetus.

Mr. J. IL and Miss Effie Hancock

cousin, (.apt, Jim Powell, of Meriweth
er. He reports crops in lower Meri
wether in good condition.
Mr. A. IL Rawls has the finest corn
in “these diggins”—twenty acres of it,
and nearly all waist high. Mr. Rawls
smiles from t he fact there is another
visitor at his house—a genuine Grover
Cleveland—second-termer, at that.
Judge A. consoles himself with the
reflection that while he did not have
the pleasure of hauling Miss Stella to
the railroad, his buggy did. Never
mind. Judge; don’t grieve. She told
me she was coming back in July. Both
our young widows are inconsolable on
account of the departure of Miss Stella.
Col. Bob A. will change his summer

President Jackson Calls a State Con
vention of The Farmers’ Alliance.
Whereas, t he progress of the Farmers*
Alliance in the State of Georgia isst
great, and in view of the fact that then-
has been a meeting of the President#
ami Agents of the; National Alliance,
held at New Orleans on the first da-}
of May, 1888, the result of whose delib
erations was to establish an agency it
all the organized States, after full con
-ul t at ion with all the officers of the or
ganization in the State of Georgia, ii
have di ccided that the time has cohh
for putting an agent in the field charg
ed with the duty of raising from $"j00,-
000 to 81,000,000, for the purpose of es
tablishing an Alliance Exchange:
Therefore, I, Robert II. Jackson, Pres
blent, of the State Alliance, do herein
require that each County Alliance a>
semble themselves together and elec
two delegates to represent each organ
ized county, and each county having a*
many as four sub-Alliances shall elec;
one delegate; said delegates shall con
stitute a constitutional convention
which will meet in the hall of the Gen
erul Assembly, in the city of Atlanta,
on the 27th clay of June, 1888, at 1»
o’clock, A. >r.

We, the undersigned citizens of Cow

General Assembly will be a most im
portant one in the history of Georgia,
and that it is necessary to have from
each candidate an expression as to 1m
position on the issues which will come
before the next Legislature, therefore
respectfully suggest a public discus
sion by the respective candidates as
soon as practicable, at the Court-house
in the city of Newnan.

From an Old Soldier.
I desire to submit to the Democratic
voters of Coweta the name of a man
for Representative who has been a res-
ident of the county for more than thir
tv years, held the office of Justice o:
the Peace for several terms, was electee
mayor of Newnan, Judge of the Inferio?
Court of the county, and, above all.
served four years in the Confederate
Army, having volunteered in Company
A, Newnan Guards,) 1st Ga. Regiment
He is a man of ability, integrity anf.
fidelity. In every position to whiel
duty has assigned him he has beei
faithful. Will the people of Cowet:,
forget those who defended their homes
against an invading foe? I think not.
To do so, would be to smother the ls$
gleams of patriotism. I, therefore. Mi
Editor, suggest the name of .Judge
Thomas Swint, of the Fifth district.
