The large and increasing lists

Comes Honor
“I do Jove working men and
wOTMnffilp. If all our people
would work as they ought to, what
a glorious country we would have! ’
Thus spoke Maj. W. Brunson in
our presence one day last week.
The words are characteristic of the
man; bis actions are in entire ac
cord with his words.
He is entirely right in highly
esteeming energy, and his estima
tion of the capabilities of our coun
ty and state is well founded.
“In the sweat of Thy face sbalt
thou eat bread.” “The idle brain
is the devil’s workshop.”
Energy is the foundation of suc
cess in all undertakings, ,and
llif oiigh its wise application comes
-also health and happiness. Ener
gy is commendable always.
Idleness is an abomination, and
from it grows discontent, failure;
unhappiness and lawlessness-;
We do not acknowledge the heed
of applying this article locally,
though we have been so requested.
The Better class of our people are
not given to idleness, and we see
the good results of energy on every
hand. However, there are many
who fail to recognize the fact that
the boys watch closely the men,
find example becomes to them a
law by which their own conduct is
•governed.
Do. we think that the moments
we spend in positive idleness be
come an injunction to the boys to
go and do likewise? Men should
not teach by example that idle
ness is commendable finder any
circumstances, during business
hours. We do not mean that life
should be made up of continual
manual labor—unremitting effort
—for recreation is absolutely es
sential to health. But we do say
there should be no idleness when
there is work to do, within bus
iness hours.
The foregoing being correct, it
is doubly the duty of the older
members of any community to be
persistently energetic. Success in
business comes only to those who
are wisely energetic, and the God
of the universe has commanded
that all men must earn the good
things of this world that- they de
sire. Only to effort does the earth
yield the fullness thereof; and only
through honest and wise work can
contentment and happiness be at
tained. Then, the tendency of the
young is to the attainment of pleas
ure, and it is our duty to teach
them by example that pleasure at
tained through idleness is apt to be
tainted with vieiousness. Hereto
fore we have entreated the boys to
be energetic,not to fear work,but to
regard ! abor in every sphere as hon
orable, and conducive to success in
life. Here we desire to empha
size the truth that the father is in
a large measure" responsible for
the-idleness of the son. An idle
man cannot teach a boy to be ener
getic. There is.no need that we
should work to. physical exhaus
tion each day, but we should not
allow our sons to' see' fis idle when
there is work undoiie that needs
our attention,
As the fathers are, the sons are
apt to be. Let your example con
demn idleness and commend work.
If Not, WuyNot?
The Piedmont ExpoferKeV.
Within the last ten years we On the first Monday in October,
have heard at least one hundred j the 7th day, the Piedmont Expo-
times the assertion, “There is no sition will be formally opened at
money in farming.” Invariably : Piedmont Park, Atlanta, Ga., and
The National Democrat is s‘
new candidate for popular favor,
-published at Washington City, but
intended for circulation through-
oat the country. It proposes to
be an aggressive democratic party
newspaper, and its first issue, last
Saturday, consisted of 100,900
copies". It is ably edited, and; all
democrats who desire to keep
posted with national polities should
subscribe for it.
Undoubtedly the Hotel Lanier
is-the most conveniently located
hostelry in Macon, and on all pc-
icasions fully sustains itff reputa
tion as one of the very best hotels
in Georgia. Manager Crawford
is a most clever host, and every
appointment of the hotel is so: ar
ranged" as to best serve the com
fort and convenience" of guests.
Preparations for the Georgia
state' fair at Macon- are progress
ing satisfactorily/ and the indica
tions are that the fair will be the
very best exposition of Georgia
products ever seen. It is beiievscf
efery department will be full, arid
it is known that the programme Ox
amusements will be full and 5 satis
factory.
this expression issued from ' the
mouth a fariaer; maiiy times the
speaker was a farmer who was
truly prospering, though probably
discontented at the measure of his
prosperity. „ ;
We know tiler! 'are many farm^-
ers who do not make more than a
bare living. We also know that
there are many merchants, and
men engaged in other lines of bus
iness, who fail to realize any
amount of surplus above the nec
essaries of life.
We are not sjiecifiMiilylnforisie'd
concerning failures in Georgia;
but we venture the assertion that
the pro rata of merchants who
have failed in business within the
last ten years is greater than that
of farmers.
Be that as it may, many farmer!
who rarely can boast of more efish
than their actual necessities de
mand, are really better situated fi
nancially than a large majority of
merchants in the state;
A great deal has been said, and
the same kind of talk will proba
bly continue, about farm mort
gages; but we dare say that an in
vestigation would disclose the fact
that hine-teniiis of the merchants
of this state half the time owe moifi
than they could pay if pushed by
their creditors.
Take this subject home to
Houston,/and a glance will show
that there is no good reason why
money cannot be made on farms.
It is ti tle that gigantic fortunes
eannot be amassed in a fev/ years,
but it is also true that eVery farm
er who energetically endeavors to
make his farm supplies on’ hiff
farm, is steadily enhancing his
financial condition.
Here the farmer who <
land can make nloney fibove living
expenses every year if ^ he works
wisely and energetically. When
the provisions are all mad# at
home, the other crops will surely
yield more than enough to afford
the home comforts.
Observation, tells Us emphati
cally that the average Houston
farmer possesses more comforts,
wears as good clothes, and devotes
as much time to tlie pursuit of
pleasure as the average merchant.
This may not be accepted as
conclusive proof of the 1 assertion
that there is money in farming,
but we can point t8 ft large num
ber of Houston farmers who are
now worth rriaiiy time's hiofe than
; they Were ffef eral.years ago.
Perhapg they don’t Count home
improvements, better fftodk; im
proved farm implements, inereased
facilities,-enhanced vaiue of the
lands by virtue of increased fertil
ity? These aTe fch’ef equivalent of
monffy, and Will coririt as sued in
the futufe!
There" is xfioftey in farming;' Sind
as much of if iri. Houston’ as in
any agricultural Cottnty in Geor
gia.

to indict every one against whom
there was satisfactory evidence.

As it is a proverbial fact that
Atlanta never does anything in
half-way fashion, it can be safely
calculated that the exposition will
be a most attractive affair.
The management claim that the
exposition will be larger than any
ever before held,-in every depart
ment. It is interstate in its scope,
the premiums, With Mv few excep
tions, being open to the all states
of the Piedmont region.
The machineny exhibits will be
iriot'e extensive than ever before
shown in the .south; Many north
ern manufacturers having already
engaged large space.
It is said that eight counties
have already entered the contest
for the §1,200 prize, offered for the
best display of county products.
The second premium will Be B790,
and every county making a credit
able display will receive 8800.
There will be magnificent fire
work displays'; free exhibitions of
the Wiicl West show, with 200
Indians and eow boys, in frontier
costume, etc.
Arrangements Have Berin made
for the best hursff racing ever
seen in the south.
The .grand military parade and
prize drills occupy three days, Oc
tober 14thj 15th and 16th, for ex-
ceilehce in which $3,000 in premi
ums have been offered. In the
interstate drill tlie first prize is
$2,000, and §500 in the state drill.
Seven or eight companies have
already entered—the champions in
each class—the Southern Cadets
of Macon; arid the Perry Rifles
have taken position promptly.
As ri special attraction it is as
serted that Gen. Sherman will not
attend the oxpositidri:
The railroads have granted low
pates for round trip tickets. On
'two days each week the rate will
Be 1 cent a mile each way, and the
other days just one half fare.
From points 150 miles distant from
Atlanta the rate will be lower. To
each railroad tidket will be at
tached a coupon which Will admit
the holder to the exposition
grounds, and for which 50 cents
will be paid.
It is asserted that there will be
ample accomodations for all visit
ors, and that transportation be
tween the city and the exposition
grounds will be convenient and
prompt.
Thousands will attend each
day;

At Baxley, Ga., last ; Monday
morning five or six negro preach
ers were forcibly ejected, by citi
zens of Baxley, from" a passenger
coach oh the E. T.j. Y. & Ga.; Rail
road, in winch were also seated
ffeveral white ladies. The negroes
had ridden from Jesup, and though
^politely requested to go into the
Coach prepared for colored people,
th'riy remained in the car where the
ladies were, with the result above
related. It is said the negroes are
delegates to ad association now in
session at India'napoiis, arid that
they indignantly placed their
grievance before Gov/ Gofdori
when they reached Atlanta.
The Huff-Patterson duel is off.
Mr. Patterson, both seconds and
Ur. Westmoreland, Jr./ spent Just [
Saturday near Sulphur Springs,
with the purpose of arrakgin^ . a;
meeting near that point ifi Ala- j
barfia. Hr. Huff went to Girard,
Ala., but failed to elude the offi
cers of the law. He went back to
Macon Sunday night, and thence
again, to Alabama. In the mean
time Patterson and the seconds re-
tfiruecl to Atlanta, and on Tuesday
the entire correspondence was pub
lished. Thus. the matter* rests,
though no filial adjustment of the
difficulty lias been arranged. The
people generally ar'6 inclined to
