The loudest talker is not always the most patriotic citizen, nor is he sure to be the w.sest statesman President Harrison is proba bly to-day the most unpopular of all the prominent republicans in this country, with his party. Hon. Weight Beady, of Amer- icus, author of the celebrated Brady Guano bill, will be a candi date for Commissioner of Agricul ture of Georgia. The fact that better prices have been received for cotton this year than last, in face of the increased yield, is attributed to the work of the Farmers’ Alliance.

It is reported from Washington that Secretary Blaine has recover- ed his health completely, and that he will be an active candidate for President when the campaign opens. The farmers of Georgia should not forget to remember, next year, that the State Commissioner of .Agriculture should be a practical farmer who has successfully man aged his business affairs. Hon. Wright Brady, author of the famous guano bill, is now agent for the sale of guano. The business position he now occupies is contrary to the theoretical posi tion he occupied wffile a legisla tor. An election to determine wheth er the city government of Albany should issue bonds for the pur pose of constructing sewers, was held last Monday. The issuance of bonds was defeated by nine votes. Nearly all the railroads have refused to pay the license tax re quired by the state, on the foreign sleeping cars'used on their lines. , Levys will be made, and the rail roads will test the constitutionality of the law.' democratic party is now laboring. At no time has it been more ap parent than now that the republi can party derives whatever strength it has from the favor it gives to the rich manufacturers of the north and east, and the section- tional character of the legislation continually advocated. The democratic party is founded on principles that would serve all the people alike, and give special favors to none. .Just-opposite to this is the republican party. The democratic party declares that the United States constitutes one common country, and that the political legislation applicable to any one section is applicable to all. Tbe republican party, by speech and attempted practice, declares that there should be legislation of a political character for the south that should not be applied to tbe north and east. In simple words: The demo cratic party is for the people, and derives its strength from the peo. pie. The republican party is for the monoplists against the people, and derives its chief strength from the money furnished Jby the monopo lists to influence elections in'favor of that party. The people of the entire country have it in their Ipower to say which party should con troll the political affairs of the United States, and it is the duty of every'voter to in vestigate the merits and claims of each party. / Next year/a new congress is *to be elected, and it is now evident that the entire energies and capac ity of the republican majority in congress will be exerted to benefit the republican party, regardless of the demands and rights of the people, j It will be well if the voters con sider closely the character of the legislation, and the kind of gov ernment, afforded by the republi cans in powes i : Americas, adjourned Monday 1 angel, Death, claimed him morning, after a harmonious ses- \ victim, and shrouded him in its sion throughout. We give theap- livid robe.,. Death’s intrusion was as its i ''Till continue for five and one-lialf calendar months. The Incxdextaii Fee to be paid by tbe In the Georgia legislature the Hon. Wright Brady persistently contended for legislation that would treat guano as a fraud, and guano dealers as tricksters. He is now employed to induce farmers to purchase guano. Congress will probably enact a law antagonistic to commercial and manufacturing trusts, as re publican and democratic members seem to agree that such combina tions are in opposition to the wel fare of thg country. The farmers of Georgia will be gin the year 1890 in better trim thah at the beginnig of any of the lasl? five, or six years. None of us knpw so much that reading is hot beneficial. Therefore we recom- nd that each farmer subscribe •r an agricultural paper, in addi- ion to his county paper. We do ot know of a better agricultural journal than the Southern Culti vator, therefore we cordially com mend it to all farmers. AN excursion of Georgia teach ers to Cuba has been arranged*, and the round trip fare: fi\ed at $30:05. Tickets can be. purchased to-morrow, December 20th. Erof. D. Q. Abbott, Macon, Ga., will furnish all necessary information. The Empire Match Company has applied for a charter, the in corporators being prominentrbusi- ness men of the city of Macon; The capital stock of the company wifi be $25,000, and the factory will be located at Macon. Senator Vance, of North Car olina, has introduced a bill/ to abolish the civil service reform law. It is not likely that such a bill can pass, as both parties are in a measure pledged to maintain the existing law, and enlarge its scope. However, there are many who recognize it as a delusion! and a snare, especially as observed! by President Harrison and his cabi net officers. pointments for the Macon district, and for those preachers well known to the readers of the Home Journal.

H?s life was an example to the world—a devoted husband, a pa tient, kind and loving father, fear less in fraternal affection, and a consecrated Christian. For his family he cherished ah ardent love, and their every want was Ms especial care; as a brother, he was held in the highest esteem and love; and, as a friend, be was good and true. .This strange separation of the mortal and immortal has blighted the happiest scenes of a family cir cle, and planted in its stead host of weeping relatives and friends. He was preceded by his devoted wife only a year, and their happy re-union in the life beyond sent a thrill of joy to the occupants of Heaven. His unchanging devo tion to her was not lost before death made its claim upon his spir it. Such undying devotion be tween husband and wife made £ happy home, and instilled in their children a character most en bling. He was a consistent member of the Methodist Church, and was happy in the hope of a life eternal in the Heavens. In his death his country loses a fearless and patriotic son, his chil dren a most devoted and affection ate father, and his brothers and sisters a loving brother. But why should we mourn his loss? The mysterious change we call death, is the beginning of a new life, where God has claimed him for a life in Heaven, and a happy union with his loved ones there. To the bereaved family, in their deep grief, sympathy is not want ing, and their friends will ever cherish a deep, feeling for them in mourning their sainted ones so dear. Married in Houston. Mr. The Telegraph claims that Ben. Goodyear, of Macon, is the youngest ex-Con£ederate in Geor gia, he having been ^scarcely 14 years old when he entered the ser vice.

The arrival of a steamship at Port Tampa, Fla., - last Sunday, with a cargo of coaconuts and ba nanas from Jamaica, constitutes the beginning of commercial rela tions between this country and Central and South America. It is said that the 51st*congress is the youngest that ever assem bled at Washington, the average age of the members being 40 years. Hon. Henry Stockbridge, Jr., of Baltimore, is the youngest mem ber, he being only 33 years old. A company has been formed to build a winter resort hotel on the Georgia Southern & Florida rail road, at the White Sulphur Springs, near the Suwanee river, in Florida. Several citizens of Macon have subscribed to the stock of the company. Hon. James H. Blount is ex actly yight in declining to an nounce himself at this early day. There is time enough for him to decide whether or not he will be a candidate for governor of Georgia. There is no better man for the place in Georgia. A fight occurred at the Kincaid cotton mills, Griffin, Ga., last Sat urday afternoon, in which nine persons were wounded. Pistols-, knives and dubs were used. It is <said that the superintendent insult ed one of the female operatives, a^d her friends resented it. Of the wounded, four were seriously injured. Recent estimates show that the population of the southern states has increased 33 per cent, within the last ten years. Florida shows the Jargest ratio of increase, 58 per cent; Arkansas next 55; Geor gia third, 47. The total popula tion of the 12 states is estimated to be 19^89,150. A monument in honor ;o£ Hon. Jefferson Davis will be erected at Atlanta, and an association to ef fect that purpose has already been organized. It is not improbable that such a monument will also be erected at Macon.

Henry Grady’s speech to the Commercial Club of Boston last week has been highly compli mented by newspaper men and others in all sections of the coun try. He dealt plainly and elo quently with the race problem in the South. He has also written an article oh the same subject for the New York Ledger, which was pub lished last week. He evidently comprehends the situation. • —On the first Tuesday in this month a piece of property was sold in Perry at administrator’s sale, the administrator of which is serving, a sentence in the peniten tiary. The deeds were sent to him to sign, and he refused, and the attorney in the transaction recent ly went up to use his powers of persuasion upon the stubborn client. —Sheriff Cooper, Clerk Wellons, and several other citizens pf Perry went out to Tharp’s :mill last Thursday night, to enjoy a regular fish-fry.
