Come boys, hurry up, we are ex
pecting to start on a voyage up
salt river about th 9 first Saturday
in December. It takes four years
to make the round trip. Possibly
we may take up permanent quar
ters up there with the boys who
set sail for that region on the 3rd
of October.
Well, we have done all we could
for the boys the past four years
and the treatment we have re
ceived at their hands has been
nothing but kind and considerate.
Before this is in type the fiat
will have gone forth making Wm
McKinley president of the great
est nation on earth.
The people of our valley are un
quulifiedly opposed to the meas
ure recommended by Oov. Can
dler in his message to the present
legislature asking for an amend
ment to the State constitution
making a propetry or educational
qualification necessary to entitle
ns to vote. We think that if Coy.
Candler had given utterance to
such a sentiment two months ago
his majority in the last election
would haye been much smaller
than it was. Many of the very
best citizens of this valley can
ueither read nor write. They have
been helping to bear the Durdens
of tie government, some of them
for half a century. We think the
people of Georgia are freer from
being ready to indorse any such
monstrous proposition. We think
the governor has misguaged the
temper of the people of Georgia.
The utterance, in an official
way, by the governor of Georgia
will give to McKinley thousands
of votes that would otherwise
have gone to Bryan. We do not
believe Walker’s representative
in the legislature will favor such
a measure. We think if he does
he may pack his "duds" for a
trip up Bale Itiver, and it will not
bo necessary for him to get a re
turn ticket.

Uncle Jacob Fulmer wan down
today to Lave Ins pension papers
signed up preparatory to seeding
them t) the pension agent to re
ceive bio quarterly allowance for
bis services in the oil Indian
wars. The old man is quite fee
tile, having been sick recently.
Ha said this probably would be
the last time he would trouble me
t> fix up bis pensiou papers.
Trouble me! I should feel ashamed
of myself if 1 were t> consider it
a trouble to render so small a ser
vice to such a man as I consider
Jacob Fulmer —simply to witness
the papers necessary to obtaiu
his small pension.
Mr. John S. Ellis and Miss Ida
lleyuolds were married at Trion
Suudav morning, N. 11. Coker.
J[. P., officiating.
The 'death of Joe Williams,
which occurred a few days ago,
was regretted by his friends at
Trion. He held the second otlioe
ic the Masonic Lodge at this
place, and was also a member of
the Royal Arch Chapter. Only a
short while ago he bid fair to
live many years, hut alas! the
hand of disease wa9 laid on him
and he was called away.
When Mr. Bryan takes his seat
as president (if he does) among
the first things he will probably
find to do will be to have an extra
lot of silver dimes coined, for W.
L. Pullen, of Trion, has decided
to lay away t>a cents of
dollar he receives. He has pur
chased some of those dime sav
iug banks, each one of which
holds just five dollars in dimes.
He showed me one which he had
just filled the other day, and said
he was going to deposit the.bank
and in the bottom of his
trunk and there let it remain.
Ah, web, I've tried such schemes
and before long I would get in a
tight place and the bank would
then be busted. It is not i*ise for
a person to deposit morey in a
bank where he is his own banker.
It is like a fellow trying to pull
his own tooth.
Arrangements are being mado
to have a telegraph service at
Trion Tuesday (tomorrow) night
in order to get the ieturns from
the election throughout the coun
try. Os course that will all be
over before this is printed.
There were 218 votes polled
here, as follows: Bryan 128, Mc-
Kinley 80, Maddox 133, McKnight
09; balance scattering.
