IX MEMORY OF MY LITTLE CARRIE.
/’ m .p n *I n K nil diet line on the “(toUlen gates”—
i , '. c P enr b’ portals where my darling waits
And turns down to me her angel lace—
Her arms outspread for my loving embrace.
’TIs a vision comes to me at dawn of the day;
At noon-time I fear it will soon fade away;—
out again, at the sunset’s sweet witching hour,
I romptly it returns, with redoubled power.
Her song tills the air like the voice of a lute,
And the flowers themselves, though seeming
ly mute,
Speak of my angel; and the low-moaning sea
llrings her message of hope and of love unto
me.
She sits on the rainbow as it bends o’er the
skies,
And I dwell on the love-light that beams from
her eyes,
As she beckons me onward and upward to her,
W here with soft steps she roams o’er the spir
itual sphere.
I see thee! I hear thee!—Yes, darling, I’ll
come;
l)o but meet me, when starting, to guide me
• _ up Home,
\V here our love for each other more perfect
shall be,
And its lengt h, breadth, and deptli be eternity.
With tear-blinded eyes and a heart grasped
by grief,
As 1 lonely bide the gathering of the ripening
sheaf,
I am ever,ever gar.lngonthe“golden gates”—
■On the pearly portals whore my darling waits.

Midway.
Midway is situated in one of the mopt.
healthful localities in Meriwether coun
ty, and one of the best farming sections
in Georgia. There is more original tim
ber land in this district than perhaps
any other in the county; hence, there
is an abundance of valuable timber
here. There are several large strenms
of water that take their meandering
course through this district, furnishing
. most excellent water-power to run our
mills, factories, ginneries, and other
machinery. Midway is situated on the
“State road,” leading from Newnan
to Greenville—17 miles from Newnan,
7 miles from Greenville, 0 miles from
Lutherville, 0 miles from St. Marks, 8
1 miles from Oakland, and 5 miles from
Stocky Mount. We have good public
roads lending to all of the above places.
There are many good farms in this
district, much of the land being fine
bottoms, easily controlled; fresh and
fertile Helds, easily cultivated and pro
ducing well. Our people are enterpris
ing, progressive, public-spirited and
thorough-going. The name of our dis
trict is Midway. Jus. A. Hardaway,
Ksq (a’brother of Cnpt It. II. Harda
way, of your city,) is our efficient Jus
tice and W. A. Robertson is our con
stable. Col. M. H. Norris looks after
most of the law business of this section.
He is farming this year, in order to re
cuperate his health, etc. We have a
good school here, nlso. Mrs. M. II.
Norris is our teacher.
Our merchant, Mr. J. T. Matthews,
in order to extend his business, has mov
ed his stock of goods to Lutherville,
much to the regret of our community.
We have n good store-house here that
will be well filled with goods in a few
)nonth8. We also have a postofflee,
and get mail from Greenville and
Lutherville on Mondays, Wednesdays
and Fridays. Capt. W. T. Norris is our
i’lever postmaster. We have a Metho
dist church with Rev. Mr. Sappington
in charge. The farmers have an Alli-
ance lodge, which meets twice a month,
i! W. A. Fleming is president, J. A.
r lilardaway vice-president, W. W. Nor-
\ Vis secretary, J. A. Wheelus treasurer,
,'Vl. W. Plant chaplain, W. T. Norris
;/ lecturer, Walter Plant door keeper.
’ Mr. W. W. Norris has been elected a
fuember of the board of directors to es
tablish a store and warehouse in IIo-
gansville. The Alliance is on a boom
here.
We have quite an interesting debat
ing club, which meets each Saturday
night.
Mrs. M. II. Norris will begin her
school in a fpw weeks.
There is the best prospect for a corn
and cotton crop in this community now
that we have had for many years.
Mrs. Robert Hardaway is very sick.
J. D. Norris, who has been attending
Mercer University, is spending his va
cation at his father’s, Capt. W. T. Nor-
iYish lie reports Mercer on a boom now.
We have two Sunday-schools. Mr.
The postoffice, which has always been
in Mr. W. H. Albright’s store, was
moved to Hardaway & Matthews’ store
this morning. Mrs. Allen Pierce is
post mistress.
The sick of the city are doing nicely.
Ira Teagle is improving; also, Mr. I. B.
Murphey.
Messrs. ,T. M. Terrell of Greenville,
W. Y. Atkinson of Newnan, and C. L.
Moses of Turin, were in the city last
week, shaking hands with hosts of
staunch friends. M.

A Beautiful Address.
We print below, in full, tho baccalau
reate nddrass delivered by Superinten
dent Ford before the graduating class
of the city public school on Thursday
night of last week:
Class of 1890. you have but to receive
the last few parting words from mo be
fore you step forth from this school to
be numbered with its graduates. In
bidding you adieu I cannot forbear to
plead with you for a kind and generous
remembrance of the cherishing mother
that has given you your educational
birth into tho world. As your natural
mother needs your love, your devotion,
and at some future time will need your
strong arm of support, so this fosteVing
mother of your minds will look for love,
for reverence, and perchnnce for pro
tection from yon at some time of future
need. May I ask you never to neglect
tlie halls that will grow more hallowed
to you in remembrance as the years go
by—Hulls that have echoed the words
from teacher’s lips—halls that have re
verberated your own footsteps and
words as youthful students. Your
heart will catch and hold denr these
sounds. They will long for the days
that shall nevermore return. Tho bur
den of at least one song of all our lives
is, “The tender grace of a day that is
dead will never come back to me.”
As you go forth into life’s broader
fields I pray God’s blessing to attend
.von. May your hands ever be found
willing to lilt a burden from some sor
rowed life; may your feet be swift to
bear blessings to those who need them;
may your, minds ever be filled with no
ble thoughts and high aspirations; may
your hearts bo full of love only for that
which is worthy of your heart’s love.
You will meet sorrow;-it is well that „„„ „ ^ „ uie I11V WO im U

A Great and Shameless Job.
New York Times.
The McKinley tariff hill remains a
monstrosity, and in its passage tluough
the Senate and through tho conference
committee, which will determine its
final shape, it is likely to he ninde worse
rather than better. There is not. much
use at the present moment in discussing
the details of the bill, because they will
be fixed iu the end by a conlorence
committee, the powers of which will
be almost dictatorial and quite arbitra
ry. But the general fact remains as
clear to-day as it was when the McKin
ley bill was shot out of the committee
and through the House, that the man
agers of the party are absolutely in the
hands of the wealthy protected manu
facturers. There remains the pretense
of maintaining the protective system
for the general advantage of American
industries, but it is only a pretense, and
a very hollow one at that. American
industry is being starved in the bouse
of its professsd friends. The evidence
is overwhelming from the manufactur
ers themselves that protection has be
come oppressive, that the tariff 1ms
been manipulated for the profit of a
few trades at the expense of all others.
Not only is there no popular sentiment
in favor of such legislation and no de
mand for it from any but tho few who
are to be enriched by it, but popular
sentiment is against it, and the most
lorcible protests have been received
from tho very classes iu whose name it
has boo. hypocritically enacted. The
tariff hill is not fiscal legislation; it is
nothing but a gn**at and shameless job.
Unless by the operation of the silver
men’s revolt tho financial issue shall be
brought to the front, the true charac
ter of the tariff will fix the fate of the
Republican party at I ho next election.

mgs to you and to me, and when it shall
come upon your lives may you remem
ber that it is but. a milestone on the
rond to another life, showing how very
short the distance is.
You will meet disappointment;—it is
well that you should. While humanity
has unholy longings, so long must dis
appointment be a blessing. When you
see your dearest plans miscarry; when
your heart’s truest, best love lias been
deceived; when the wheel of Fortune
is revolving backward for you, then
faith in Goa and a higher life will be
your best consolation.
Sorrow, suffering, disappointment;—
these are idle soul’s telescope through
which it looks beyond the stars into
God’s own beautiful dwelling-place.
I now hand you these parchment
rolls as a testimony of your faithfulness
as students, and when God’s messenger
shall come for you, may you then re
ceive a testimony that you have been
faithful in life’s great school and are
prepared to graduate in God’s great
commencement, on high.
C'las8of 1800,1 bid you an affectionate
farewell.
The Election Bill.
Huvaniih News.
The Republicans succeeded in passing
the Federal election bill in the House
yesterday. It was hoped that enough
of the Southern Republicans would
vote with the Democrats to defeat it.
The party lash was applied so vigorous
ly, however, that, with few exceptions,
they did not dare to leave tho party
lines.
No other bill has passed the House in
years so fraught with dauger to the
country. It is a partisan measure of
the worst kind. The purpose of it is
to enable the Republican party to keep
itself in power by means which it con
trols. It is intended that it shall be
enforced only in tho South, and in a
few Northern cities where there are
large Democratic majorities. That this
is the intention is shown by the rejec
tion of an amendment to make it opera
tive in every Congressional district.
That such a bill, if it should become a
law, would be productive of a deplora
ble state of affairs there is no doubt.
Will the Senate pass the bill? It will
it the Democrats of that body do not
prevent it. They can prevent it if a gag
rule, such as the House has, is not
adopted, to shut off debate and dilatory
motions. The country is beginning to
realize the dangerous character of the
bill, rind the protests which will reach
the Senate may infiuence that body to
hestitate to pass t-Q revolutionary n
measure,
