THIRD PARTY TALK. ~
The Union conference of Indus
trial organizations, called by rep
resentatives of 17 states, convened
at Cincinnati Tuesday. The main
purpose of the convention is to
consider the advisability of inaugu
rating a third political party.
We have insisted that it was im
practicable for the Farmers’ Alli
ance and other industrial organi
zations to formulate a platform for
such a party upon which all could
stand and work in harmony for po
litical preferment. Concerning the
personnel^of the assemblage at
Cincinnati, and the probability of
agreement, the special correspond
ent of the Atlanta Constitution
writes as follows:
‘The national union conference
is a unique assemblage, called for
the express purpose of launching a
new political party. It includes
so many diverse elements, holding
so many conflicting ideas,that there
is no conceivable platform upon
which the whole •heterogeneous
mass can stand. When you add
to these centrifugal forces the fur
ther fact that a large part, and pos
sibly h majority, of the delegates
are opposed to the immediate po
litical independence of the old
parties, and # liave come here with
the view of putting on the brakes,
ft will be seen that the chance for
the harmonious and successful
launching of a third party is ex
ceedingly small.
“This is confessed tonight un
wittingly by the third party advo
cates. The editor of The Farmers’
Voice said with great gusto: ‘We
will launch a new party jjis sure as
the sun rises to-morrow.’ Then he
added, ‘Even if the advocates of
the immediate organization of a
new party do not have a majority
in the convention, they will not go
away from here without launching
a new .party. This assemblage is
so constituted that nothing will
prevent this course.’
“This amounts to an admission
that the third party men willjiave
to take that course, and to an out
sider that appears to be the proba
ble outcome. The leaders of the
Farmers’ Alliance and the Knights
of Labor have about got the thing
headed off, so far as their people
are concerned.
Secretary Jemison says the “Jerry Simpson and Elder, of

This community has been blest
with more rain for the last month
than any other I have heard from;
consequently oar crops art the
best I have seen anywhere this
year.
The prospect now for a melon
crop is rather gloomy—caused by
the recent cold weather and poor
stands.
Spring oats are almost a failure,
but fall oats are good, notwith
standing the rain has been insuffi
cient to insure a good crop gener

Mr. Thomas Bnsoe, one of the
gentlemen who came here from
New York some time ago, has the
material on the ground to erect
him a nice dwelling, which will
add much to our village, as it will
be one of the handsbmest build

Mr. W. A Dixon has a nice mel

at the business, I expect him to

pelled to cut the vines off to keep
them out of his way. Mr. D. has
an idea that melons grow in the
ground like potatoes, and cutting
the vines will not injure them.

The dinner was given by a few
ladies and gentlemen who know
just how to arrange a first-class

make a failure.
Mr. Green Watson says he didn’t
eat anything for two days previous
to the fish fry, for fear he could
not eat enongh that day.

A TRIBUTE
To tha memory of Mrs. W. B.
Snipes, passed by the Andrew
Chapel Sunday SchooL
Mrs. Snipes was a daughter of
Mr, and Mrs. Frank George, and
wife of Mr. W. B. Snipes, one of
our most efficient Sunday School
teachers!
She departed this life April 29,
1891. Many loving friends mourn
her departure, but we mourn not
as those who have no hope. In
early girlhood she gave her i heart
to God,and united with the church
at Andrew Chpel. Since tliat time
she- has maintained a true Chris
tian character. It is said of her
that she was always good, and was
highly esteemed in all the rela
tions of life,being a dutiful daugh
ter, a loving wife, a devoted moth
er. Two little ones, a son and a
daughter, are bereft of her tender
care.
“White our hearts are Heeding

isononr table. It is a monthly
journal, devoted as the name indi
cates; subscription price §1.00 a
year, 10c a copy. It is edited by
Prof. B. M. McIntosh and J. W.
Burke, and published at Macon by
J. W. Burke & Co. We dare say
the Advocate will admirably fill
the field' chosen. Certainly the
number before us is worthy of the
patronage of all mnsic lovers, and
those who desire select reading for
the family circle. Send for sam

Of the hailstorm that visited
Macon and vicinity Monday the
Telegraph says: “It came about
3 o’clock and lasted for nearly an
hour, accompanied by a copious
rain. Many of the hail stones were
f of an inoh in diameter, and fell
in heaps. Farmery living near
Macon, who came Jn dnriDg the
evening, reported that c.ipsiderable
damage had been done toyouug|cot-
ton by’tlie hail, and many young
peaches had beep knocked from
the trees.”
At tbo mines pear Seattle,
Washington, negroes are being
used to fill tbe places of striking
white miners. Four knndred i
grp.eg went to work for the Oregon
Mining Gompapy last Monday.
Serioos trouble is anticipated, but
the superintendent declares that
the negroes will be protected if it
takes more gpards than miners.
—A game of baseball, at Fort
Yalley last Friday isreported from
Bailer, as follows:'“()ur boys went
over to Fort Valley .Friday to play
against the Giants of the Yalley,
and soon found that they ‘wasn’t
in it,’ ns we had the iuvincidle
‘Gappet’ in the box. iVili Boss,of
Macon, filled the snipe' p vdticm for
onr opponents, and with all that,
the score was: Butler, 29; Fort
Valley, 13. Our boys were treated
royally by the people-of Fort Val
ley, and we hope to have an oppor
tunity t» reciprocate eoon . One
of the boys is thinking of return
ing soon, as some fair damsel has
won his heart. He seems to be

Mrs. C. M. Holleinun, widow of
Barnett Hollernnn, deceased, and-
daughter of the late Maj. Carlton
Welborn, died at the home of her
son-in-law, Dr. J. P. Newman,
March 19th 1891. Thus passed
away, when near the age of three
score and ten, one of God’s noble
women.
Mrs. Hullemau was modest aud
retiring to an unsnal degree; aud
her great virtues were not kuown
or fully appreciated. I,. perhaps,
knew her better than any one, and
cannot forego rendering this sim
plo tribute to her memory.
—iioi i cm a u's^ri ra Was one of
sore trials, disappointments and
bereavements; but His grace w/s
sufficient, and she came through it
all unsullied.
I regarded her beyond question
as the most devoted woman to her
family, and the most unselikh soul
I ever knew.
She suffered much in her last
illness, but died pencefnlly and
triumphant.
Dear old grandma, we miss you
much, but when we remember your
troubles, which' were never ending
here, we can but thank our Heav
enly Father that yon are now be
yond them all.
Her life was a benediction to us,
and although humble and little
known to the world, her works do
follow her.
“Thanks be to God-which giveth
us the victory through our Lord
Jesus Christ.”

Now and then, daring these sul
try rpring days, the hoat is relieved
by a passing breeze. Wo mop our
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, becanse
they represent purely what we-have
done. The same exclamation,“how
nice,” is a common expression with-
m the walls of onr store, and it
eomes every time from delighted
customers, who adopt it as an ex
pression of the delight at our goods
and prices. There’s no use talking,
we have certainly got the clothing,
the hats, the children’s suits, the
furnishing goods, and everything
that goes with, a first class clothing
house. So, why shouldn’t we do
the business? Others say they have
the same, but why don’t they do
the trade? Tlie. answer is plain,
Either the goods are faulty, or the
prices. Both must- match. You
can’t combine poor goods and high
prices. If you have shoddy goods,
you will do well to givo ’em away.
If you have good goods, you must
make the prices moderate. That’s
the only combination that goes. And
that’s the way we do it. The secret’s
your’s now, and all we ask for tell
ing you, is that you show your good
judgment by taking advantage of
