Palmer, of Savannah, at the" home of the bride’s parents in Savannah, on tho 15th inst., next Tuesday. Business failures in the United States during' the last three months have been fewer than dur- the same period of last year, and it is reported that, tho commercial horizon is especially bright. There arc rumors afloat that ex- Gev. McDaniel, Col. Livingston, Pres- of tho Georgia Alliance, Col. Peek, Pres, of tho Alliance Ex change, will be candidates for Congress from the Fifth district. Hon. H. H. Carlton has public ly declared that he will not be a candidate for re-election to con gress from the 8th district of Georgia. Judge G T Lawson is the coming man for that position. The election passed quietly, and tne newly-elected officers were duly installed that night, Judge A C. Riley administering the oath 'of office. After the inauguration, a ban quet was given by the retiring council. Judge Riley was master of ceremonies, and filled the posi tion completely. Mayor-elect Houser responded to “Fort Valley, her Past and Future.” Then in turn were given a num ber of other tosts: “Education, Public Schools,” etc.; “Houston County, the foremost of the Em pire State;” “Fort Valley’s Man ufacturing Interests;” “The Press;” “Fort Valley’s Council of 1888-89;” “The Legislature;” “The New Council.” These were responded to by Prof. A. M. Patterson, of Grady In stitute, Editor Jno. H. Hodges, Al dermen A. S. Martin, TV F. Wynne, ex-Aiderman‘ D. Bums, Hon. H. A. Mathews, Alderman W. E. Brown. Other toasts not in the programme were given and re sponded to by J. A. Everett, A. W. Murray, M. L. Cooper, B. H. Wright, S. F. Murray, Editor W. M. Kersh. The occasion was exceedingly pleasant throughout, the supper being one of the best ever put on a table, the programme nicely ar ranged, everybody in good humor, and the season propitious for thorough enjoyment. We deem it not out of place to Say that one of aldermen elected, Mr. A. S. Mfjrtin, is a Vermont “Yankee,” and that not a vote was cast against him in the election. He is the clever and efficient foundryman at Fort Valley. The banquet was prepared by Mr* A. Glass, Fort Valley’s fore- most caterer. Pursuant io adjournment, the County Alliance of Houston county convened in quarterly session with Oak Grove sub- Alliancc tkisothday of April, 1890, Pres- ara Q c C011rse those passed at Povr- ersville, censuring our represeE- ident Neil presiding. The alliance was opened in dno form. A committee on credentials seated del- tatives and senator, and which Mr. egates from all the sub-alliances (ten in number,) in the county. Minutes of last meeting read and coa- ""a committee, composed of one dele- &re the people. In offering the —Rev. Thomas "E. Langley, a gentlemen well known to the older citizens of Houston county, in and near Perry and Port Valley, died about ten days ago at his home iu Chipley, Fla. He was reared in Houston county, and about thirty years ago was pastor of.the Baptist church at Fort Valley. Aboute 38 years ago he married Miss Lavenia Norwood, eldest- daughther of Mr. Mrs. L. D. Norwood. He’was held in especially high esteem by all who knew him. Certainly a truly good man has gone to his eternal reward. Many friends in Houston sincerely sympathise with the be reaved family. It has been arranged that the Pan-American congress \yill leave Washington on.the 18th inst., for a trip through the South. Four stops will be made in Georgia. At Augusta on the 23rd;Atlanta'24th; Macon 25th and Brunswick 26th It is reported that Prophets- town, Illinois, was completely de stroyed by a cyclone last Sunday. A large number of people were killed. It is also reported that Harper’s Ferry, Ky., was almost destroyed at about the same time. It is asserted by the foreman on the farm of the late Hon. Primus Jones, that the first bale of cotton this year, will come from that farm. He says that the example and. methods of Col. Jones are be ing strictly followed on that farm. There will be en effort made to place the'temperance people of Georgia in line with the National prohibition party.' Such a move would be hurtful to democracy in some counties and districts in the state, without in any way bene- iitting the cause of temperance, election of Col. W. L. essner, of the Americus Record le presidency of the Geor- : Association .t there, is no sectional the minds-of Georgians, er is an Ohio citizen of gia whose worth is recognized. The ladies in Georgia engaged in newspaper work met in Atlanta last Thursday and organized the Woman’s Press^ Club of Georgia. The officers elected are, Mrs. E. T. Byington, of the Columbus Ledger, President; Mrs. L. B. Wylie, of the Atlanta Journal, Vice Presi dent; Miss Minnie Quinn, of At lanta, Secretary and Treasurer. There are about 30 ladies in the state engaged in journalism, and all will-doubtless become members of the association. The first an nual meeting will be held at Co lumbus, .beginning April 29th, and continuing to May 2nd. ed to prepare and report business for the action o£ the meeting. This committee reported the follow ing, which was adopted: 1st. That the delegates to this meeting meet in Perry on the first Tuesday in 213.7,016x1, at 10 o’clock a. m., for the purpose of transacting important busi ness which cannot be transacted at this meeting. 2nd. We urge upon all farmers, wheth er alliancemen or not, to use cotton bag ging for baling this year’s crop. 3rd. We Tocommend that all farmers patronize the State Exchange to the ex tent of their ability. 4th. We further recommend. that the Alliance Warehouse at Macon be pat ronized by all alliancemen to 'the extent of their ability to do so. 5th." We commend the energy and en terprise of “R.E. Lee” Alliance at Fort Valley, to establish a cotton seed oil mill and guano factory at that place; and recommend that the enterprise be encouraged by all alliancemen by taking stock in tbe same. 6th. We recommend the patronage of the “Fruit Exchange” at Macon, and also the “Georgia Fruit Union” at Fort Valley. 7th. We favor the sacking of commer cial fertilizers in sacks made of cotton cloth, and commend this subject to the consideration of all farmers throughout all the states in which commercial ferti lizers are used. 8th. A motion to reconsider the reso lutions passed by this alliance at Pow- ersvilie on the 11th day of January, 1890, condemning our representatives for their action in refusing to vote for the “Olive Bill,” prevailed, and after much animated discussion, the following was adopted: Kesolved, That inasmuch as it has not been shown by the former minutes of of this alliance that ourj representatives had been instructed to vote for the “Olive Bill,” w e rescind our resolutions passed at Powersville on the 11th day of Janu ary, 1890; yet we most heartily endosre tho courage of-Bro. A. P. Jones in his fidelity to the alliance cause. 9th. A resolution of thanks was voted the ladies in the vicinity of Oak Grove for the very generous and hospitable manner in which the delegates and guests to this meeting were entertained. The alliance then.adjourned, to meet again in quarterly session with York sub alliance, on the first Saturday in July, next, .at 10 o’clock a. m. STEELING NEIL, President Houston County Alliance. W. D. CKOOM, Secretary. P. S.—The distressed condition of the family of Bro. J. L. Parham, who was recently killed by lightning, was consid ered, and liberally responded to, and any contributions that may hereafter bo made by alliancemen, or others, for tho benefit of that distressed family, may be deposited with Bro. Neil, who will see that they are properly applied. Seceetaby. Alliance Resolutions Bepiy to Hon. H. A Mathews. The resolutions under discussion Mathews says were not passed “by any means unanimously.” I de sire simply to set myself right be-- Mossy Hill Musings. dictated by doc. resolutions! asked the alliance to discuss them fully, and. further more-told them that I did not think they ought to pass without the fullest discussion possible, as ihe action of that body would bind every allianceman in the county. I do not think that every delegate in the house voted, but 1 do know that there was not a sin gle vote in the house against the passage of the resolutions .After they were passed some of the mem bers who did not vote wanted a re- consideratioDj- and a motion to re consider was made, and there were only three or four who voted to re .consider. This will show how near the resolutions were passed unani mously. Mr. Mathews says that “facts’ are better things to base “sensa tional and startling” resolutions on, than even the “bounding imag ination of Mr. Jones.” In reply to this will say that it is a fact that the resolutions endorsing the Olive bill, and asking our senator and representatives to vote and use their influence for it passed at the county alliance meeting at Fort Valley in April of last year, and it is always presumable that an officer of any organization does his duty. Now if Mr. Griffin, the then secre tary, failed through neglect or for getfulness to notify our represen tatives officially, I had no way of knowing it. Mr. Mathews did know that these resolutions passed. I Hayneville Happenings. REPORTED BY JOSHUA LAWRENCE. It is currently reported through the newspapers that several days ago, in a store in Washington, Mrs. W. W. Dudley refused to recog nize Mrs. Harrison, wife of the President. Our readers will re member that Col. Dudley was very prominent campaign manager in behalf of Harrison, but he com mitted acts that shocked right- thinking, honest republicans. Har rison slighted Dudley—hence Mrs. Dudley’s action, Let the.republi- con celebrities quarrel to their surfeit. News somewhat scarce at this writing. Everybody ready for planting cotton. Some few in this commu nity began last week, and if we don’t have any cold, early planting will prove all right. Bat should we have such cold snaps as we bad three weeks ago, the same would prove fatal to tbe cotton crop ; just as it has with some of the corn and oat crops. Some pre dict cold in the month of April. Mr. F. C. Henderson and lady visited relatives near Henderson last Sunday. The Hayneville sub-Alliance had a call meeting last Friday to elect a delegate to send to the County Alliance meeting on the Saturday following, and Mr. J. T. Ellis was selected as the delegate. He went, and after missing the route about two or three miles, landed at the place just in time to enjoy that bountiful dinner. The public roads are of a very zig-zag nature iu that part of the county. The Second Quarterly Meeting of the Snow Circuit will convene at Smyrna church on the 16th of this month. Any member of this church wishing to send pay for then- quarterage can do so by giv ing the same to the stewards, S. evoes along the the His- lower Mississippi e being damaged of high water, iven way, and great caused by the in farming lands and dong the bauks of E republican leaders are npt agreed as to the provisions of the proposed legislation to provide government control of federal elections. There are two bills for this purpose now pending—one in the Senate and one in the House— and it is believed that the differ ences involved will defeat the final passage of both bills. A cOVEXTiox of Northern people, now citizens of Georgia, has been called to assemble at Douglasville on the ISth of June next. There is a Northern colony at Douglass- 3?. Bivins or J. T. Ellis, viile, and the members thereof are especially arixions for the conven tion to be held, in order their tes timony as to the advantages of the state, and the kindness and courte sy of the natives to the Northern comers, may be made known to all people. The festivities of Merchants’ May Week at Savannah will be in full progress from April 2Sth, to May 3rd, next. Tho programme is so arranged as to afford a full measure of enjoyment to all who attend. Low- railroad rates have been secured. For specific infor mation address Secretary “Mer chants’ Week,Traveler’s Exchange, Savannah, Ga. Ax effort to pass a general pen sion bill that involved the expen diture of 8-10,000,000 was defeated in the House of Representatives last Monday by the disaffection of a few republicans. There has been a change made in the public road from Mr. John G. Brown’s residence to Grovania. Mr. B, has cut off the bend in the road to the left of his house, and made it straight—parallel with his house. Ws understand there will be' other advantageous changes made in this road by Mr. B. some time during the year. ' It is un doubtedly a very crooked road from Mr. Ellis’ to Grovania, and to take these crooks out would add much to the looks of the road, and shorten the distance. was informed by one of the most prominent alliancemen in the county that he went to Mr. M. him self and that Mr. M. saidhe thought he was being “bulldozed.” He also says he has investigated and finds no such resolutions were passed. I will give him a few names of dele gates vvho were there, and if he will ask them I am sure he will find lie did not investigate enough: Maj. Neil, B. T. Smisson, Joel T. Walker, T. W. Fulwood, Joe M. Griffin; in fact, any delegate who noticed his business. “Verily, Mr,'Jones with his reso lutions would seem to be an unsafe leader.” Mr. Mathews does me too much honor. I would feel highly hon ored if any one should think I was fit to be a follower of such an intel ligent body of men as the Houston county alliance. A leader! I agree with Mr. Mathews; I fear that I would Tun the body into deep water. Let those who are fit remain lead ers, I’ll follow. If by any accident or circumstance an idea sliould enter my cranium that I think would be beneficial in any way to the order I shall, certainly air it. Mr. Mathews says he does not want to be understood as abusing Mr. Jones. If this is true the only thing I can get from his "letter is that he is abusing the alliance over my head. It wonld have been mnch wiser to have let me bear the whole burden, because the ulliance is strong. I am only a “pigmy.” Now I want it distinctly understood that I have nothing but the highest regard for Mr. Mathews personally. Therefore nothing I have said can be laid to enmity. I do not desire notoriety, therefore a newspaper discussion is very distastefol to me, though in justice to myself and the alliance I feel obliged to write this. 4 s Mr. Mathews says he is only a “candidate for the esteem and confidence of , rigt thinking people of all classes,” I will say to him that this is the only office I am seeking, and I hope that both of us will be elected by a-large majority. I will -state further as an act of justice to Messrs. Mathews and Holtzclaw that when the County Alliance learned that they iv'ere not officially notified' as to their wishes that the resolutions passed at Powersville were withdrawn. The Houston County Alliance is too intelligent "a body and too hon orable to do an act of seeming in justice to any one. I will read Mr. Mathews on the “Olive bill” and If he does not object, will give my views on same subject, not as a re- ply, though I may diseuss some of his arguments. . A- P- Joses, Lect.
