Makesa very big joke • ,
In his big father’s vest.
He doesn't look bad
In the vest of his dad,
And he’s splendidly dressed
In his big father’s vest. '
The cream of this entertaining: little joke

to buy his vest from ns, and -without fail

Ex-Senator Joseph E. Brown
celebrated his seventieth birthday

The .commercial congress at
Kansas City last week was decid

was accomplished.
Mrs. Halford, wife of Presi
dent Harrison’s private secretary,
died at Washington City last,
Wednesday morning. She spent\
the winter at Thomasville, Ga.,
. and returned to Washington only
four days prior to her death.
It is reported that the present
state administration of South Car
olina is not. satisfactory altogether,
and that many citizens formerly
acting with the democratic party
are now alligning themselves with
the republicans.
Prominent Kansas alliancemeii
say the third party movement is a
permanent political organization
in that state, and that its represen
tatives will attend the convention
^at Cincinnati on May 19th, for the
purpose of inaugurating the third
party presidential campaign for
1892. , '
Gov. Northen is anxious that
Georgia shall be represented at
the World’s Fair to be held at Chi
cago in 1893. A convention to con
sider ways and means , of securing
-such representation has been call
ed to assemble iq Atlanta on the
6th of May. The, governor is ne
gotiating with the railroads to se
cure free transportation for the
Secretary Bt.atne's - last letter
to the Premier of Italy, concerning
the late lynching at New-'Orleans,
is a dignified state paper. He
promises nothing in the shape of
indemnity, and disclaims the right
of Italy to demand the summary
punishment oftfie Jyriehers. How
ever, he says the United States
, will act justly when the report of
' pending investigation is submitted.
DEMOCRATIC FOOLISHNESS.
As political affairs are now shap
ing, the democratic party is nothin
a very satisfactory situation; The
most prominent -ptifiticians seem
to have forgotten 'the truism, “In
unity there is strength.” " '
This may be due to the fact, that
this is' an off year, conpled with the
fallacious opinion that* sharp dis
cussions of side issues may he in
dulged in with impnnity. Sach
discussions invariably breed dis
cord, and when continued there is
danger of irreparable disaffection.
There is nothing but foolishness
in the constant discussion of the
relative strength of men supposed
to be presidential candidates.
What matters it to the party that
two prominent New Yorkers have
been mentioned as -possible candi
dates, and that these gentlemen
are said to be bitter political foes?
It is no good to compare the
shades of political belief that these
men entertain concerning demo
cratic policy.
It is folly to attempt novj_ to
formulate through the newspapers
a national democratic .platform.
The platform of the last conven
tion embodies democratic princi
pie in fall, until it is added to oi
taken from by another national con
vention assembled by due process
of party- law.
The discussion of democratic
differences-affords hope and pleas
ure to the republicans throughout
the country, and the leaders of
that party are gleefully applauding
this exhibition of the lack of dem
ocratic unity..
It is a great thing for the demo
crate to have control of the House
of Bepresentatives, but the great
purpose oi the party, just and
economical government, cannot be
put into practice while a republi
can is chief magistrate.
Though a large majority of the
voters of the country are demo
crats, or at least not republicans,
there are shades of difference that
must be harmonized, else the alle
giance of many of .them will be
withheld, if not transferred to the
opposing party.
If every so-called statesman in
sists that his individual opinion
shall be made the standard of
Democracy, as now seems to be the
tendency, the opening of the next
National campaign will show the
democracy to be irreconcilably di
vided,
We must have harmony now,
else harmony may be out of our
reach when it is absolutely essen
tial to our success.
Tariff reform is the foundation
principle of democracy, and there
is no need of discussing now any
other issue. Our people north,
south, east and west can staud on
it and have ample working room
without .jostling any neighbor.
Other questions can be trusted to
local arbitrament, and the result
will be as it should
Neither the south, west, north
or east, has |the right to demand
that its conception of democratic
principle and duty be accepted as
the correct policy of the party.
Discussion- through the newspa
pers now will settle nothing,though
disaffection that will defy reconcil
iation may be engendered.
There is a dreadful lack of dear
ocratic unity now.
This Tact encourages the pro
posed formation of a third party.
The republican party is con
stantly working to promote harmo
ny among its cdherants.
Democrats can’t quarrel now and
unite at pleasure. .
Democratic foolishness now will
not promote • democratic success
next year. Somebody should, be
choked off.
President Harrison began his
southern tripjhe early part of last
week, and, with his party, was the
guest of Atlanta 'on Wednesday,
He was most hospitably welcomed
and entertained— At everj availa
ble point along the route speeches
were made, to the people, and it is-
easy to read between the lines that"
Mr. Harrison desires the help of
southern republicans in the next
national convention of his party.
His speeches show clearly that he
is able to serve the south justly in
his administration. He certainly
comprehends .the situation, and
knows-what patriotism means.
Therefore he • deseryes no charity
in the judgment'formed concern
ing the partisanship displayed in
his treatment of affairs pertaining
to the South. From .Georgia he
went into Alabama, and then into
Texas.
The absurd attack made upon
Judge Crisp’s tariff reform record
willjrot hurt' the Georgia states
man at all. He is in the front
rank of democratic tariff reform
ers, and all' who keep up with the
political affairs know it. He will
be the next speaker.
The democratic admirers of Sen
ator Gorman, of Maryland, will
soon present him, in Baltimore,
with a silver table service, contain
ing 1,000 ounces, in unique de-
Georgia’s Congressional Districts.
At the -next - national election
eleven .congressmen to represent
Georgia will be chosen. In order
that this may done, the districts
must be re-arranged, eleven^ must
be made out of ten.
A prominent politician of the
present 7th district,’has arranged
the counties into the necessary
eleven districts, each district ap
proximating very closely the basis
of population required, 167,000.
This proposed rearrangement was
published in the Atlanta Constitu
tion last Monday. The changes
are many,-but the result cafinot be
otherwise reached.

While in Atlanta last Wednes
day Secretary Rusk, of the Agri
cultural department of the United
States government, spoke privately
of Georgia as an agricultural
state: “Georgia is a great
agricultural state. But you peo
ple don’ t raise enough stock. That
section we came through to-day
between here and Chattanooga
as fine a country as there is in the
world for stock, and you Georgians
make a mistake in not paying more
attention to stock. In my opinion
Georgia is' one of the greatest
states in the Union. You can raise
almost everything here, and when
you people diversify your crops
more, when you stop raising
much cotton, your farmers willbe-
come the most prosperous in the
country.”
t DENXARD DOTS.
BY THE JUDGE.
Grand juries, like individuals,
differ . upon questions that- affect
others "than themselves. I notice
that-the’ last grand jury made a
recommendation that the preced
ing jury refused to make. As to
which was right it is not my prov
ince to speak, but I do think that
the action of the last two grand ju
ries of Houston affordthe strongest
argument in favor of the plan that
will put recommendations that af
fect the taxpayers, before at least
three grand juries, if left to such
tribunals at all.
It has been lonesome enough for
two weeks past to shame a grave
yard. The weather cleared up
ana everybody went to work,
cepta few fishermen.
Messrs. Bparks, Bedingfield and
Jones, of Macon, were here last
week on their annual fishing frolic,
and had it not been for W. F.
George, the champion gig slinger,
they might all now be in the bot
tom of the pond. Mr. B. had oc
casion to try his lack a little dis
tance from his comrades, when
suddenly he was seized by a moe-
casin. He at once began to: yell
“snakes, snakes,” at the top of his
voice. His friends went to his
rescue, crying “snakes, snakes,” as
they ran. When they got to Mr.
B. they found that a snake
slowly swallowing him.
The monster, becoming fright
ened at the approach of Messrs.
Sparks and Jones, commenced to
swim up the pond.
Mr. George, looking from the'
factory window, saw the danger of
Mr. B., and at once gathered his
gig and went to the pond, by which
time the snake, with Mr. B., had
gotten about one hnndred and fif
ty yards from the shore. Mr.
George, always equal to any emer
gency, had tied to his gig handle a
200 foot cord:
He threw the g:g and fastened
it into his snukeship, and com
me need to draw him to land! By
the time he drew him on land,-Mr
B. was swallowed all but his head .
The shake was taken over to the
saw mill,' sawed open, and Mr. B’s
life saved.
Mrr Bedingfield says that he has
seen many snakes, all kinds of
monkeys and crawling things, but
this was the snakiest snake he ev
er saw.
&
Mr. Monroe Poole, an engineei
on the Southwestern railroad, for
merly a citizen of Houston county,
near Fort Valley, was killed last
Saturday. He was on his engine
going toward Macon, just east of
Georgetown. Standing on the
gangway of the engine,, he was'
looking back at a hot box on one
of the tracks of the tender.; At
the bridge across the Chattahoo
chee there is a close fence, or vail,
and against this Mr. Poole’s head
struck violently. He was' knocked
from the engine into the water,end
was dead when taken out. He was
a good man, and a first-class en
gineer. He was buried at Macon,
where his family resides.
"There is a senatorial deadlock
iu the Florida legislature. The
leading alliancemen are opposed
to the re-election of Senator Wilk
inson Call. Jndge Speer is the al
liance candidate. ' The two-tbirds
rale has been adopted in caucus,
and will be adhered to' by both
parties, an agreement having beep
reached'that there will be no elec
tion in'Open session of the legisla r
tore until a caucus nomination has
been made. Though a majority of
the legislators are alliancemen",
Call has so far received a majority
of the votes, at one time lacking
only two of a two-thirds majority.
Mrs. L. E. Mott, of Eilavijle
Ga., desires information concern
ing the fact that her hustuhd,
Moses Mott,' received wounds in
the Confederate service that caused
his death. She says her husband
was a member of the company,
commanded by Capt. Sam. Touns-
ley, in the 64th Georgia regiment.
This information is needed to es
tablish Mrs. Mott’s'right to a pen
sion from the state.
