This noble German-American, not only refused to assist the republi¬ cans, but sent back a most excellent defense of the democratic platform. In fiie letter is found the following paragraph: “In fact the protective tariff and the trust are children of the same parentage; the trust is the younger brother of the tariff. The springing up of trusts has put upon the tariff question a new face. The trust is extortion undisguised. It bluntly bids the people ‘stand and deliver.’ The efforts to obscure the relationship between trust and pro tective tariff will not succeed long, if they succeed at all. No free and spirited people will long endure such combinations when their na¬ ture has once been understood.” Mr. H. R. Davidson left last Tuesday morning for Dallas Texas, where he thinks of remaining for twelve months or longer. Mr. Lum Granade bought Mr. J. W. Johnson’s farm just above town last week. He will build a hand¬ some dwelling and move to the plantation. Di*. Hardwick has moved into his dwelling recently vacated by Major Pearce. The doctor has one of the loveliest places in town.

We have patronized Mr. King, and know that lie does good honest work. Remember that every thing is gnar anteed. Mr. William McCord of Jackson visited our city this week, Mrs, Carrie Smith from Gaines¬ ville, sister of Mr. A. J. Pierce, is in our city on a visit to relatives. Since our last issue the Stewart Bros, have decided to rebuild the Paper Mills, At this we are most heartily glad. They are a pluckv, wide-awake and thorough-going set and every one in the whole country will be delighted to learn of their resolution. Work on the mills in its preparatory form has already been commenced. When you want beef, pork, or sansage call on A- B. Osborn. Mr. T. E. Broadnax is having his fine black horse, Ala din, trained by Bill Hunter the horsetamer. Alad in had been spoiled ; but the con trol under which he seems to be since Mr. Hunter has taken charge, is something wonderful. The monument which was to be erected by the North Georgia Me h odist conference to the memory of the late Bishop George F. Pierce, has just been raised in the cemetery at Sparta. It is of pure white mar¬ ble executed in Italy, and is 23 feet high. The time for unveiling is not yet determined. Mr. Frank Smith visited Atlanta Monday last. Mrs. S. J- Richardson of Atlanta is in the city visiting relatives. Fair Warning to All I will be in Conyers at my old stand for the purpose of mak ing settlements with my debtorsun til Saturday the 27th inst. Those who fail to settle by that time will find their notes or accounts in the hands of a collecting attorney. By settling at once you will confer a great favor, and thus avoid trouble and expense- Respectfully, Mbs. S. J. Richardson. Cony«6. Ga., Oct, 17th 1888. Why 1 Joe’ Left Georgia Dr. Ilaygood on Oct. 9th contrib uted this to the press: “A lady rel ative in our family had a letter the other day from the mountains. She had lived in Fannin and the letter was from that county. She said to me : “Cousin Joe’s going to Texas.” “For what?’ said I. “Schools. Say’s he’s too poor to educate his children, Texas has good free schools and Georgia has not.” That settles it with Joe. Who blames him? I doubt not Georgia loses thousands of her stalwart sons every year, just as she loses Cousin Joe this winter. We can’t build the state into an “empire” with ‘ three months” public schools. We are very much behind the age and very wasteful of our school money. We spend just enough to spoil private schools, but not enough to make good public shools. Your narrow, ignorant, conceited, one-horse legis¬ lator calls it “economy.” barks -n the role of watch-dog of the treasure in order to secure more office from an ignorant constituency. But w y ho can blame him for oppo¬ sing a thoroughgoing public school system? When his constituents become fairly well educated he will return to the legislature no more. And ignorant as he is, he has sense enough to know that his people must be kept in ignorance. Good luck to “Cousin Joe,” Tex¬ as will give his children good pub¬ lic schools through the whole school year. Georgia gives poor ones for three months. The Courier-Journal strikes Beb by this side lick :—“Bob Ingersoll is not going to retire from tne Re¬ publican party because he has been kicked by its cowardly managers. He will never abandon a party that taxes Bibles. Clocks for $3.00, and good shirts for 50 cents, at Pierce, Cain & Mc Knight’s. A good market, fine beef, pork, and sausage kept all the time by A. B. Osborn. Mrs. Slocum of Sheffield district, mother of Mr. John Slocum, died last Tuesday evening and was bur¬ ied Wednesday afternoon at the family graveyard. Age a^out 80.

New York city has done her part nobly by the yellow fever sufferers in .Jacksonville. She has sent to that city to date nearly $62,000. Ladiesall wool shawls $1.25 at Pierce, Cain & McKniglit’s. It is stated that no red-headed person has taken the yellow fever in Jacksonville. This is quite in¬ teresting if true. Good suits for $4.00 at Pierce.

The wife of Mr. John Street of Lorraine district died last Tuesday morning and was buried \V ednos day afternoon at Smyrna, The funeral was preached at cemetery by Elder J. F. Almand.

The Marriage Bells Ghime out Merrily and Echo Sack Cheerful Greetings. “Happy they, the happiest of their kind. Whom gentler stars unite, and in one fate Their hearts, their fortunes, and their be ings blend.” Thursday night last recorded pos¬ sibly the happiegt and most fash¬ ionable event of the season. Jt combined in a word the beauty, ele¬ gance, grace and charms of poetry. The marriage bells chimed their sweetest strains and an unbroken stream of melody rolled forth. Un¬ der ciicumstances the most favora¬ ble and pleasing the destinies of ‘‘two minds with a single thought and two hearts that beat as one” plighted their union and pledged their undying devotion to each other. Before night the Methodist church was profusely decorated, and the mingling of the shades and colors, the linking of beauties and vines, gave the inside an appearance two beautiful for description The energies, art, tact and skill of Miss Alice Lawson, assisted by Mrs, Dr Ros rer, Mrs. A. M, Helms and Miss Kittie Winbuin were heavily taxed to produce such a scene of indiscribable loveliness and beauty. Whither the eye turned it rested, and feasted upon glories born either of nature or of art. Precisely at 8 o’clock the party ap deared at the church and Mrs Davis, at the organ, trilled the wedding march With steady tread the bridal party took position in front of the pulpit, Dr. Pierce then in his usual diunified and impress¬ ive style joined Miss Fannie Pierce in marriage to Mr. Charley Cain. The cer¬ emony over they went immediately to their boarding hotiRe at Mr. Green Jones’. The bride was handsomely attired in white morie silk combined with white albatross made with train; the bridal veil being looped back with three whits ostrich tips. The attendants were Miss Minnie Pierce at¬ tired in pink albatross with Frank Smith, Miss Emma Reagin in nite‘green albatross with C. B. Hudson. Miss Cora Guinn in cream aloatross with Will McKnight. Miss Lula Willingham in light blue albatross with Charlie Reagin. * The ushers were Col. J. C. Barton, J. S. Dan¬ iel), W. E. McCalla, H. Y. McCord. The little fairies that so gracefully opened the flood gates were Bertha Danieil attired in light blue albatross combined with lace; Sadie Tuoker in pink albatross and lace. In the language of a tender poet we express our hearty congratulations in this beautiful and appropriate stanza; “All golden thonghts, all wealth of days. Truth, friendship, lovo, surround you; So may you smile till life be closed. And angel bands have crowned you.” The following is a list of presents; A most beautiful and costly clock of bronze and ebony from Maddox, Rucker & Co., Atlan ta. '•!

Grand Old Emory* Emory college opened Wednes¬ day Oct, 10th with a large attend ance of students and entered upon the fifty-second year of its existence under very favorable auspices. The new president, Dr. W. A. Cand¬ ler, and Mr. J. W. Roberts, the finan¬ cial agent of the college, have worked zealously and faithfully in behalf of the institution for the past three months, and the laige increase oi new students (of whom there are about one hundred) is proof of the fact that their work was well done. During the period mentioned Mr Roberts has raised about twenty thousand dollars for the loan and endowment fund, and thereby se¬ cured educational facilities for a number of young men who would otherwise perhaps have been de¬ bar! ed the privilege of an education At the next session of the legisla¬ ture a bill will be passed authori¬ zing thegiaduates of the law de¬ partment of the college to practice law in this state on receiving diplo¬ mas from the proper authorities.
