PRICE, TWO DOLLARS A YEAR. Published Every Thursday Morning. Jno.H. HODGES, Editor and Publisher Pebby, Thubsday, May 14 Judge Cbisp will be speaker of the next congress. The Florida legislature has not ye$ elected a United States Sena- tor^ i Tarief reform must be the chief “plank” of the next democratic platform, else a republican will be elected president in 1892. The first iron pipe ever shipped from the south left Bessemer, Ala., last Saturday for Baltimore. . The shipment consisted of 25 car -loads. Pig iron has recently been ship ped from AnnistoD, Ala., to Eng land, the first shipment of that kind ever sent to that country from the South. —1 KO-I — Joe Mulhatton, the commer cial traveller who earned the repu tation of being the champion liar of America, fully equal to Mun chausen, is said to be insane, in a, hospital at Chicago. Mb. J. T. Waterman has sold his interest in the Hawkinsville Dispatch and News to Mi*. J. R- Beverly, his former partner. He will for the present remain with the paper as an editor. Secretary Blaine has not yet declared that he will not be a can didate for president next year, though President Harrison’s polit ical lieutenants have been tTying to induce him to do so. The immigration of foreign la borers ig. the greatest menace to the pea'ce and'good order of the United States. Greater restric tions must be provided by congress, and than rigidly- enforced by the port officers. The question of reducing pas 7 senger fare to two cents a mile, is being considered by Southern rail road authorities. We believe Buch a reduction would prove beneficial to the railroads by largely increas ing the travel. Thebe was a riot bet .veen Amer ican and Italian laborers at a mine near Wheeling, West Va., last Monday. - One person . was killed outright, and several ..others mor tally wounded. It is said the troub le was-started by an Italian strik ing an American foreman with an iron bar. The grand jury at^Tew Orleans defended the citizens^ who lynched the Italians on March 14th, instead of indicting them. This fact fur ther incensed the Italian govern? 'ment. The Italian consul at New Orleans denounced the city and county authorities, and he has been recalled by the government at Rome. The report from the agricultu ral department at Washington, May 1st,'says the proportion of cotton planted up to that date was more than the average for several years. Florida shows the largest average, 92; Alabama and Georgia next, 80; Virginia lowest, 40. Nearly all states'report planting one or two weeks late, due to the excessive rainfall in February, and March, and following dry weather. A NEW PAKTY NOT NEEDED. There is no donbt of the fact that the alliance talk of a third po litical parly is causing, uneasiness in the democratic and republican camps. ' This is mainly becaase of 'the uncertainty as to from which of the old parties would the new one draw the. greater portion of its strength. In the South the democratic par ty would furnish nine-tenths of the supporters of the new parly, and in the West its greatest strength would come from men who have affiliated with the republican par ty, bat are now inclined to join forces with the democratic party.; , The discussions so far are rath er general as to any proposed line of policy, the demand being in general terms for relief from the burdens that rest so grievously upon the farmers of the country. To us it seems that the alliance- men would defeat their main pur pose by forming a new party, that they cannot hope to v seeure control of the government, and hy the division of strength would make it improbable, if not impraCr ticable, for either party to secure the relorms demanded. It would be useless for the alli- ancemen to hope that the new pari ty could he successfully placed in the field on a platform that woold please the farmers of .all. the states There are many members of the order who do not now endorse the sub-treasury plan, and there are other difference'sjthat a new party could not harmonize. As it is,’the democratic party is working zealously for the people, demanding tariff reform and financial readjustment in accord with the needs of the farmers. A third party would so cripple the democratic party as to render it donbtfnl of success in the next contest with the chances largely in favor of the-republicans. There is no need for a third party. BONAIRE ITEMS. BY THE BOSS. The farmers of this section are going ahead with their work. Some of them are through chopping cot ton, while those who planted late nave not commenced. Stands of cotton are good, with a few excep tions. The oat crop will be almost failure in some parts of the county, on account of dry weather. The melon crops around"Bonaire are looking well. J. M. Pitts and several other melon growers of Bonaire, attend ed the meeting of the Macon Fruit and Vegetable Exchange last Sat urday at Macon. I think the in tention of the exchange is the very thing for the growers, if they can handle enough of the crop to pre vent a glnt in the markets. The man who meant business at the meeting walked into the hall with a melon vine six inches long pinned to the gable end of his pants, arid demanded of the secre tary a cheap railroad rate back to his station. The gentleman saw the vine, and asked no questions. Those who desire sassafras roots to make tea, will do well to call on R. G. Watson. He offers to fur nish a grubbing hoe and give any one all he can dig, so as to get them oat of his cotton. To tho great delight of Judge Ring, his wife has returned home from a visit to-, her daughter in Florida. She-had been absent three weeks,'and I have been in formed she received 34 letters while there, and 6 were on the way when she returned. I understand Mr. J. N. Barker has already worn oat two hoes in his small crop of cotton this Sea son. This shows what a man can do when he trie9, Mr. B. is swift with a hoe, and it takes my best to lead him. • ^ J. M. Pitts got the first Irish po tato from his. garden about ten days ago. - May iOtb.JML The Wqrld’s fair convention in Atlanta last week was attended by delegates from a large majority of the counties in Georgia, represent ing all classes of the people. It was the unanimous opinion of the convention that Georgia should be fully represented at the.‘World's fair, and that the state should pro vide the : means to secure that rep resentative exhibit. A resolution was adopted requesting tb» legis lature to appropriate 8100,000 for that purpose, and a committee was appointed, one.from each congres sioaal district, and two from the state at large, to see that the mat ter is proparly considered. The total membership of the Young Men’s Christian Associa tion in the United States is 225,- 000. The Association owns prop erty to the value-of-812,500,000,op erates 779 reading rooms, and 649 libraries, with 500,000 books, ^and its indebtedness is less than §2,- 500,000. .The 29th international convention was held at.

Cotton chopping is the order of the day. We haver heard of a tew that are through chopping, while others have jast began to chop and plow their cotton ior the first time. Corn is looking very well, and is in nice fix. Mr. Joe Q. Ellis has the best we have looked at ' The oat crop has been promis ing, bat is now suffering for rain —in fact, we wonld like to have a season fer all kinds of crops. There will be a scattering peach crop in this section, bat the apple and grape crops promise to be good, and black berries will be abundant. Well, this is all right, as sugar is cheap and milk is'plen- tifnl, and this kind of food is good enough for anybody when it is fix ed np into what we used to call in by gone days blackberry tarts. It is now an .assured fact that a gaano factory J will be established at Grovania of home capital. The gentlemen § who are interested in this enterprise are live, practical and wide-awake men. In connec tion with thiB factory will be a cot ton seed oil mill, grist mill and four sixty saw gins to gin cotton. Plans for the buildings have been prepared and submitted to the company.' The location was snr- yeyed'last. Saturday; the material is now being placed upon the ground, and the contractors will begin work to-day. This factory, when properly opened and put in coarse of development, will be one of the largest and most promising enterprises of its kind in the state. F. G.

The question, “When will i$ rain,” is aB often asked now as the question, “When will it quit rain ing,” was asked some time ago. Those farmers who have neither a stand of corn nor cotton, ar.e manifesting much anxiety updi the subject. Of late years the newspapers have had much to say about model farmers, and in this connection I desire, in order to do. our part of the country justice, and for the benefit of ^mankind generally, to say that we have a model farmer in onr community (perhaps more than one). He says lie has to stop plowing and feed his mule before 1 dark; that if he waited till after dark to feed, his corn pile is so small he would never find it. And that even this early in the season he is feeding without any fodder at all; that before he was aware of what was going on, a mis chievous old gander on his place had, by poking his head through the cracks of the fence enclosing his fodder, eaten it all. He says his oats are so small that he is ad vertising for a suitable pair of scissors to cut them with. He fur ther says that he might strip them and save seed, bat by this means he would lose the straw, and on ac count of the scarcity of forage, the loss of the straw is a sacrifice he cannot well Afford to make. He says the best-way to keep weevils from eating much corn on a farm, is to keep it in a small log house, with cracks large enough to admit a free current of air, and not to haye mnch corn in the house. He says this has been his experience. While this model farmer’s name is Hartley, if should be distinctly stated that he is in no way related to the Mr. Hartley who is acquir ing such world-wide notoriety by reason of hip unfortunate tilt with Rube Smith’s ram. Recently there have been sever al deaths among the colored chil dren of this community, resulting from the effects of measles. May 12th, 189L Burden, Smith & Bills.

There has been no rain in onr -communi ty in something like six weeks, and things are beginning to look very bine. Crops that were plant ed late are not coming up. at all, and I know of considerable cotton that is still nnpianied. The sweet potatoe beds are full of sprouts generally, bnt they are looking wilted, and I am fearful that they will die outright, unless we have rain soon. The oat crop is almost a total failure, and I don’t think rain wonld benefit it much if it were to come now. I saw oats that were 30 inches high and heading oat, bat there was no grain in the heads; it was all chaff. There is a fair quantity of peach es on the trees in onr community, and a good lot of plums. The pears were about all killed. The blackberry crop, I think, will be a good one if we get rain anytime soon. The gardens in our vicinity are extremely poor. I don’t think ever saw them as poor at this time of the year. Irish potatoes are poor also, aud this is one of the main-stays with me, as I am very fond of them. The Sunday School Association was a very pleasant affair. There was a nice crowd, aud a nice time was the result. Dr. Tharp filled his regular ap poiutmentat the Baptist church Sunday morning. He preached an excellent sermon to an attentive audience. There is some sickness iu community noy; the physiciaus say it is caused from the dry, dusty weather and cool mornings. Our village proper stiil remains healthy We believe we have one of the most.healthy locations in Georgia, and would advise all - home seekers to come to our place and look around before locating.

We mop onr dewy brows and exclaim, “how nice!” This reminds us that the heat of hard times has only been re lieved by the “breezy” prices we have “originated” and “establish ed.” We quote the words, because they represent purely what we have done. The same exclamation,“how nice,” is a common expression with in the walls of our store, and it comes every time from -delighted customers, who adopt it/as an ex pression of the delight at our goods and prices.

So. why shouldn’t we do the business? Others say they have the same, but why don’t they do the trade? The answer is plain, Either the goods are faulty, or the prices. Both must match. -You can’t combine pcior goods and high prices. If you liave shoddy goods, you will do well to give ’em away. If you have good goods, you must make the priefes moderate. That’s the only combination that goes. And that’s the way we do it. Tho secret’s yonr’s now, and all we ask for tell ing you, is that you show your good judgment by taking advantage of it.
