'Calvin S. Bbios, demo crat, has been elected United States Senator by the Ohio legislature, to succeed Senator Hhpry B.

Lamont, who wa3 President Cleveland’s private sec retary, is prominently mentioned as a democratic candidate for gov ernor of New York The Supreme court of Alabama has refused to grant a new trial for Dick Hawes, who was convicted of the murder of his wife and two children, at Birmingham last year. has the Gen. E. P. Alexander been authorized to increase equipment of the Central Railroad and Steamship Company. Two new steamers will be contracted for at once. The fruit growers throughout Georgia apprehend that the warm weather in January will induce blooms too early, and that-the cold to come will be destructive to the prospective crop. Hon. Clark Howell has been made managing editor of the At lanta Constitution, the place which the lamented Grady filled so ad mirably. a better choice could not have been made. It is expected that the Colum bus Southern, railroad will be com pleted to Dawson within a week, and then the road will be built di rectly to Albany as quickly as pos Bible,—probably by about the mid dle of March. [i- - The Sub-Tropical exposition at Jaoksonville, Fla., was opened last -Thursday, and iB how progressing satisfactorily, The exposition is said to be the best ever. held Florida, and thousands of visitors will be daily pleased and. instruct ed by its exhibits and amusements mnii The cotton warehouse of Willis F. Price, Macon, Ga., waa destroy ed by fire Jast Tuesday. Cotton to the amount of about one thou sand bales was injured, but we understand the losses were cover- MBHii L-'v •• ' ' ed by insurance. .

It is proposed to discuss the business of melon growing and shipping fully, and to formulate a plan by which the growers can sell to the best advantage. Commission mer chants who have not handled mel ons satisfactorily to the shippers will be put on the black list. A Good Man for Office. Powersville Iicporter. A good man will always make a good'officer, provided his mental qualities and educational attain ments render him capable or per forming the duties of that office. Siltediy Sub- Houser’s Mill. Married in Fun. The farmers in our community 1 a tort vaiio s.asaiion Mr. George Biley and family, of j al ' e very busy preparing-their lands j .jhe f o ]} 0w ] D g special from Fort Macon, spent Sunday with Mr.j for planting. • • Talley appeared in the Atlanta Constitution last Moudaj-. est, for ability without honesty will only give the officer a better opportunity to-defraud the people he is elected to serve. A man should never be voted for simply because he makes himself agreea ble to his companions.. A man who has been unsuccess ful in business is not likely make a good officer, though there may be exceptions to this rule. Certainly 7 a' voter.'should never ‘help to elect a -man to office whom he would be unwilling to entrust his business affairs. Of course all offices do not re quire the same degree of btuiness capacity, though no man without business training of some sort competent to fill a state or county office. The officer whose duties are purely clerical does not need executive ability, though the exec utive officer should be fully eapac itated to perform clerical work. A roan possessed of the quali ties to make a most excellent slier iff, might not be competent-to fill the office of governor. Therefore the fitness of the man to fill the office for which he becomes a can didate should be carefully consid ered. If for an executive office, his business capacity should be of a high order, and. his mental and moral qualifications equal to the most intelligent people of those he would serve. No officer should be inferior in any respect to the people who elect him. To sum up: A good man for of fice is he who combines m his make-up the following qualities Honesty, intelligence, patriotism, morality, faithfulness, a knowledge of the duties to be performed, the ability to perform these duties, po liteness, and special education where the duties of the office re quire special attainments. Of course he should be refined to the standard of the people he is to serve and in all respects fully capaci tated to, perform- the duties of the office. While all elected officers are truly servants of the people, they are also in a measure masters of the people, and they should be chosen from among the best people of the state or county 'to be directly served. Never entertain, the opinion that any other thanV’good man’can be come a good officer. "Whenever a negro is killed in the south by a white man, it is foul murder,according to the north ern politicians and demagogue edi . tors, no matter what the circum stances of the killing were. These same editors never mention the oc currence when a negro kills a white man. These same northern dema gogue editors and politicians would inaugurate a race war in the south, if they could. Judge W. D. Kelly, the senior congressman from Pennsylvania, died in Washington City on Thurs day. He was one of the ablest re publicans in public life, honest in his convictions, an.d though,active ly earnest in seeking to serve his his-party, and in advocating a high protective tariff, he was not regard ed as a fanatic, but as a just and conscientious man. He was about 15 years old, and was serving his loth term in congress, and by rea son of this fact was called “the fatb : the House.” Yiok’s Floxal Guide for 1890 | is the handsomest and most elab orate affair of the kind we ever saw. It contains a full catalogue of choice flowers, flower and vege table seeds, handsomelyillnstrated and fully described. The pam phlet contains 100 pages, and is in fact a complete encyclopedia of flowers and vegetables. It is worth many times the price, 10 cents, vhich will be deducted from the first order sent. The Ticks are reliable seedsmen. Address The color line has been sharply drawn at Alton, Illinois, a republi can stronghold. Last Thursday admission into the school in which the white pupils were taught was demanded—by the parents- of a number of negro children. They were allowed to enter, but when the older negroes departed, the white boys attacked the would-be negro pupils, and drove them vio lently, from the school house; and grounds. The end is not yet, and the whites say the negroes shall not be taught in the same school with white children, though the board of education decided on Friday that.one mixed school would be taught • The excitement is in tense, and a positive race war may result, if the mandamus asked for by the negroes is granted. Now let- the guardian editors, howl. Possibly, it may he discovered after a while that the professed Yankee love for the “colored brother” is somewhat hypocritical. The January number • of the Southern Farm is one. of the very best agricultural magazines we ev er saw. Besides a very large amount of matter pertaining to the farm, orchard, garden, poultry yard, other kindred matters, it con tains - the last speech delivered by Hon. Henry W. Grady, and other of his latest utterances. The Farm was established by Mr. Grady, and to it much of bis best thought and work was devoted. Its publication will continue, and Mrs. Grady .will retain her husband’s interest. Dr. W. L. J ones is the" agricultural editor, and with a large number of other able agriculturalists as con tributors, the Farm will maintain its high standard of excellence. The -price of the Farm is §1.00 a year. It is published monthly 'at Atlanta. The Southern Farm and the Home Journal ean be both se cured one year for 82.80, cash in advance. Andrew Houser and family.

To my Friends and Patrons. According to regular appoint ment the County Alliance met] at Powersville last Satnrday,with 75 to 100 allianaemen in attendance. The. meeting- was held in the church, wherethe regular business was transacted. Not beinga mem ber of said order, I am in igno rance 'of what was done in the church. But we do knolv some thing of what was done over at the school house. Why, I tell you, Mr. Editor, while those alliance folks were speaking, and stamping the floor, and hollering, and knock ing their sticks against the house, the good ladies in and,ar-ound Pow- ersyille fixed and prepared one of the finest dinners it has ever-been our privilege to attend; in these many days. Editor Karsh, of the Enterprise, was there, and if he doesn’t say it-was one of - the best dinners he ever sat down to, we won’t remember him the next, time we have one. We sent yon invita tion, Mr.'Editor, bat know that- yon couldn’t get off an account of that terrible murder case. After about two hundred people had eat en until they were satisfied, and could eat no more, there was left enough for as many more. Col. Troutman was on; hand, and Col. Winslow had been there,with a few more such-Colonels,- the good women would not have had so much to haul back home. But we are glad Col. Troutman was there, for he is a good man to have such places.' He is such a ladies’ jnan they all like him. He must come again; a standing" invitation isopen to him. We must again compliment the ladies. They al most overdid the thing. It would be useless to try to mention all the good things they had’prepared, as it would occupy too much space, We will simply say the table aet- uall groaned under its burden Mr. and Mrs. J. H. M. Ciiett, al though not belonging to the order, contributed much tothe success of the occasion. Mr. Ciiett, as a com pliment, presented to the alliance- men a bushel of very fine Stephen son winter apples, which were very much appreciated by them. A more harmonious gathering of people we never had the pleasure of see ing before. Everybody went home glad of the day of pleasure they had spent. We regret to announce that Mrs. Barden is still confined to her bed. Mrs. Barden has been sick eight weeks, and her many friends are anxious to see her out again. Messrs. Joe Griffin and Jchrs Bhodes, of Fort Talley, spent Sunday in Powersville. Mr. Drew Clark, of Monroe county, is visiting relatives near Powersville. Mr. Wrigley Clark, of Macon, spent Sunday here with the fami ly of Mrs. Bassett. On the fourth Saturday and Sunday inst. Elders Cleveland and Lee will be with Elder Bespess at Powersville. Two deacons will be ordained into Fellowship Church on Saturday. January 15th, 1S00. has increased to a larger acre age. We think that if the weather does hot soon take a change for cold, the fattening hogs will " de stroy inofe corn than they \ will be worth. " Several of our citizens attended the meeting of' the County Al liance at Powersville last Satur day; and report spending a most pleasant day. As for the dinner, .they, say it could not be surpassed, either in quality or quantity. •Cl Mr. Brown Biley and lady,Tor Centerville, were the guests of Mr. A. J.lHonser and family on" last Friday. " » Mrs. A. B. jWoodard, q£?pea^ Bonaire, visited Mrs. W- P. ShorT)" of near Powersville, on.last Thurs day. Mrs. M. A. Thompson, of near Houser’s mill, was the guest of Mrs. Stripling, of Pine Level, last Sunday. j.;S We were very much shocked to hear that Sheriff Milt Cooper had to take care of our IMr. Bright Harper from Friday evening until Monday morning. Bev. J. M. Foster will fill his first regular appointmont at Prov idence ehurclPnextj[Satarday and Sunday. A.large congregation is expected to attend. Mr. S. IVHurst,'one of our bast citizens, is still having lumber hauled to erect more new houses on his farm. I think that th,e.-patrons will or ganize a sehool at’Oak GroYe in short while, as there; have been several”applicants for it. We are glad To note that Mrs. Mattie Hampton is able to be again, Last Sunday morning the writer attended religious services at Pine Level, and after listening to a most excellent sermon, delivered Bev. Mr." Thames, of Crawford county, was invited to take dinner at Mrs. M. B. Stripling’s, and royal dinner it was. When the dinner bell rang we marched in, and when we glanced over the ta ble we were never “more astonished in our life. We. will not attempt to describe the’dinner at all. Mr, Editor, we wished for you very much; More anon. Farmer Boy, Jan. 13, 1890. up Eiios, Florida. James Tick, Seedsman, Bochester, N. Y.

Tharp used ice to save his meat a number of years ago,,when the weather was too warm for that purpose. It has been suggested in several 'sections of the state that ice could be satis factorily used,, and we .are inclined to the opinion that it would be cheaper for the farmers of Hous ton to adopt;that course at once, as the corn the hogs are now eating amounts do that much expense, for wich they will receive an ade quate return. -V- ■ —Tuesday morning before the sentence of death was passed on Ed Johnson and Jim -Batts, a mo tion for a new trial in the case of Henry Cnyler, who was convicted of burglary last October, was ar med before Judge Miller. The motion was overruled, and r trial refused. •The firm of Hardeman, Davis & Nottingham, attorneys at law, Macon, Ga., has been dissolved by mutual consent, and the four law yers now constitute two firms See the card of Hardeman & Not- iTo^TtaV? tingham in another column of the Home Journal. These gentle men are too well known to our readers to need any commendation Mr. Editor:— As a people wc are so constituted that alLare to a cer tain extent interested in every other section of onr country, how ever remote. Thousands who think themselves familiar with the situation, cli mate, productions, etc., of every portion, have but a faint concep tion of the real character of the ex treme southern portion, south of Lat. 2S°,N. lat. It is of this portion I wish briefly to speak. The climate is the nearest tropi cal'of any part of the United States, and the traveler from the Northland is at once impressed with t he fact that he has arrived in tropical- America. This is no where more apparent than in the famous South Indian Rivet coun try. The palms'become stately,— the river banks are lined "with a dense groth of mangrove, which preserves a beatifnl green through out the year, and form a secure protection from injury by winds.. The soil is the richest to be found in Florida, and all kinds of tropi cal and semi-tropical frnits attain the highest perfection. The or anges, lemons,-limes, grapes, pineS apples, bananas, etc.,' of this re gion have no superiors in the.mar- kets of the world. . Most kinds of garden vegetables give the planters very satisfactory results. In common with the wiiole South, the development of this section is rapid and permanent. It fruits will make-it a land sought- for by those who desire to live in luxury; its climate will call the afflicted who wish to be restored to health Our society is becoming equal to the best, and the means for enjoy ment-are abundant.

Society circles;have been fall.of excitement bore all day. yesterday a,ad to-day,on account of a aup- posed.bbgus .marriage ceremony, in which two of onr young society people officiated, which is about to turn out a reajity; Thursday night a coupled called . on Bey. B. L. Boss at his. residence - and asked to be married, instanter, as the bride’s parents seriously,objected. The groom produced a license is sued by O., P. Wright, ordinary of Crawford county,.-authorizing the ’marriage, of aMr. Mureherson and and]Miss Burnett: They were ac companied by Mr- J. Byron .Hall, of the Harris house, who said the couple | liad j «st arrived • on -the At- lahtaand Elorida; train and were.in a hur-EyMminarry- ; . . .-Dt..Rosadnvited them in, but they refused, saying they were just from a.masked ball and had on their costumes,'and as Mr. Hall was with them-Dr: Boss proceeded to perform the ceremony in the dark. After assuring himself that the contracting parties were of le gal age,’the ceremony was perform ed in the clergyman’s usual sol emn manner, and at the conclusion he pronounced God’s blessing up on them, and grasping their clasped hands pronouncedjthem man and wife. As the couple took their depart ure,-the groom told Dr. Boss to call at the hotel in the morning, aud he would be'handed a present by Mr. Hall, the cleric. Things were quiet all day Friday, and very few knew of the' Gretna-' Green affair, bat yesterday'morn ing, when itribecame “known that the parties to the affair were Mr. W. H. Harris and Miss Phosa Skellie, excitement ran high, as Dr. Boss pronounced the marriage legal, as the ceremony was per formed in good faith, and that the courts would have to undo the matter, as they let the matter go so far. Many of our best inform ed citizens are of the same-opinion, and the young couple are in great trouble over their adventure. The license too, .was a forgery, and the young man who executed - it thinks of departing.- Such excitement was never.created here in socieiy circles before, and the matter not ended, anclfriends of the par ties anticipate trouble for them be fore the excitement of their venture “just-for fun” dies away.
