Dr. Felton according to his record and votes in Congress, is in favor of cheap whiskey, and high priced iron, and everything that is made of iron; this is what we call politi cal economy in a horn. The Calhoun Times thus solilo quizes; Our cup of joy will be full to overflowing when we see Han cock innugrated, Joe Brown take his seat in tho senate, Colquitt again fill the executive chair, and Judson Clements sent to Congress. A very lamentable affair ocecur- , red at the Rack Mills Association, ] which was held in the vicinity of | Rock Mills, Polk county, on Sun- t day of Inst week. A Mr. Pickens v got into a difficulty with a Mr. I)a- t vis and fatally stabbed him. The wounded mail lived only a few j hours. The West Point Press re ports the above, but has not heard t the particulars of the occurence. The Calhoun Times says: Col. 1 Judson Clements is still canvassing I the district with wonderful success. 1 The people are pleased with his | gentlemanly demeanor, sound, win- s ning logic and pursuasive elegance, s Dr. Felton has already learned that s the wiggling of the "lizzard tail" I: was not in vain, as it will prove an omen of triumph over independen- v tisui. The people feel that the t Doctor has served them long ! enough, and that some little talent c exists in the Seventh district out- j side of Bartow county. o The election is going on to-day | * (.Wednesday) as we go to press, . ami we are glad that to-day closes one of the vnost bitter and exciting campaigns that Georgia has ever ! ever witnessed. We havo not tak- f en a great deal of stock in i 1 paign, we have given Governor Col- ! ' quitt a reasonable support in the ' * the columns of the Messenger, ho 1 has had our sympathies, our pray- j 1 ers, and our votes, and if elected 1 we shall rejoice in the fact that we have a Governor, who in all things is good and pure, and the equal of ; any it. this broad land. The farmer can tan his own lea ther and make his own shoes. He i can raise his own cotton and grow j his own wool to make his own clothing. He can raise his own meal and bread ; but lie cannot make his own iron. He is obliged to buy his iron in every form and shape. If he wants a horse shoe, ; nails of any kind, tacks, plows, hoe», rakes, trace-chains, wagon tires, horse-powers, a saw, a ham mer, an axe, a froe, a hatclul, gin gearing, knives, forks, a stove, a skillet an a pot, in fact any ol a thousand and one tilings made of iron every family is obliged to have, he is compelled to pay a higher price than it is worth because of tlie tariff. Yet Dr. Felton is the open and avowed advocate of a pro tective lariti on iron. He takes the side of tho monopolists aguin»t the common people, and that is the , sort of a farmer’s friend Felton is. Home Courier. Col. Clements at Home. The Hon. J. C. Clements, came home on lust Saturday, to spend a day or two in transacting some im portant business, and being strong ly solicited to make a speech while hero, ho consented to do so on last Monday. A very largo crowd of I our very best citizens, and nearly : all ihe ladies of the place, enmoout to hear him. As everybody has, or will have I an opportunity to hear Col. Clem cnlß during the campaign, we will not attempt even a synopsis of his speech here, which was one of the j finest wo have ever heard. It was ) exalted in statesmanship ; deep in feeling; lofty in eloquence; con vincing iti logic and reason ; re freshing in style, and in tone as sweet as honey. Mr. Clements speeches through this district, will outlive the strifes of this political carnpuigu, and will he remembered when the triumphs of its grand issues are forgotten.— Mr. Clements left tho stand amid a shower of bouquets. NEIGHBORHOOD .VOTES. Gathered Froas All Souroos. Dalton Citizen: A protracted ’ meeting has heen in progress ut the First Methodist Church the preeetl . iug week. Dalton Citizen: Dp to date more cotton has been marketed here than r Dalton received in *t whole season ten years ago. The Dalton Citizen says the cot ton crop down the Selma, Rome and Dalton Railroad has been seri ously damaged by rust and worms. Rome Courier: Starling Berry, an old colored man in tho lower endNof this county, has an old rifie which, ho says, is the gun "which killed Gen. Ferguson ut the buttle ■ of Kings’ Mountain.” Romo Tribune: Col Samuel is ■ confident of the completion of the Rome and Chattanooga Railroad in the near future Rome certainly needs this road, and our merchants should do all in their power to have it pushed to u rapid completion. , Tilton correspondent Dolton Citi zen, says : The Hon. J. C. Clemehts spoke here last Wednes/,»y night to n crowded house. 11 is respectful manner, profound logic and practi cal good sense, won him several new friends and the admiration ofnll. Knoxville Tribune: A young at- i torney got up in the Court-house . with $329 chalked on his hack yes- i terduy and began a speech intended to he humorous. The uud'ence laughed at him all tho while, and elated with success, he spoke until three of tho jury starved to death. Rome Courier: Mr. B. S. Har bour showed us yesterday an open boll of cotton grown on n stalk of last years’ growth. The seed was planted in April, 1879, and this stalk with several others, was left standing and marked, as they were , sprouting at tho time the land was - being plowed. < The Calhoun Times says : “Ase- ' vere wind and rain fterm passed 1 through the lower end of Gordon 1 county Monday night, blowing 1 down trees and taking the roofs off 1 of several houses and doing consid- 1 erable damage to the corn fields * and cotton crops that were within r its reach. No persons bruised, 1 crippled,or killed.” Chattanooga 'limes: A very un- | ! fortunate difficulty occured at Stra- ( ta, Ala., near Decatur, Thursday, which resulted fatally. Dr. Cham- , 1 hers and Mr. Brown, the village t blacksmith, both well known and I respected citizens, had a dispute to ‘ 1 the settlement of an account, and 1 the dir mite led to a collision, in which .-’.r. Brown was shot and killed by Dr. Chambers. Calhoun lines: Quite a novel marriage occurred near Reeves’sta tion last Sunday Mr. Willie Abbott was on his way to preaching at the station and had with him in the buggy Miss Belle Armstrong. They , drove up to the Parson Reeves’ I house, called him to the gate and' I were made man and wife. They tbeu went on to church as though j nothing had huppened. We wish | them success. Marietta Journal: For four years i the track of a large snake has been it seen around the house of Mr. Per il ter Griggs, at Lost mountain. One if day last week his snakeship boldly ). | attacked Ihe fowls in the yard. Mr. r Griggs 6hot him with his gun, his if daughter fired at him with a pistol, e and Mrs. Griggs pitchforked him to - the ground. The snake fought e hrjvely, and yielded only when the e combined forces arrayed against e : him, overpowered and slaughtered i. him. He was a rattlesnake, and ! measured 4 feet in length, had 11 rattles, teeth 1 inch long, and ins head was 3 inches across the eyes He is done eating chickens. In three years, in 100 yards of his house, Mr. Griggs has k : llrd 117 moccasins, 1 horned snake, 1 rattle ! snake, and one of unknown species r lie thinks ho has about got them killed out.

Great destitution is reported in portions of Kansas. In Norton county 1800 people r.eed food. All trains over the Texas and Pacific railroad via Shermon are crowded with immigrants seeking homes in western Texas.

We live in on age of improve ments as is evident to all when we consider the wonderful discoveries which are coming to light day by d«y. One of the latest and most wonderful is the discovery of Ken dall’s Spavin Cure, which will cure a spavin, splint, curb, callous nr ring-bone, and remove the enlarge ment without even blistering or causing a sore and it has recently been tested for deep-seated pains, rheumatism, enlargements and ma ny similar difficulties on man as well as beast, and it has been found to work so well that it is now be lieved to bo tho very best liniment for external use on man, that has ever been discovered.
