JOHN Ii. MADDOX Editor
Dr. Felton, of Bartow, is the
champion of education in the
Georgia Legislature, where he is
doing the noblest work of his life,
The farmers of DeKalb county
are taking active steps to have a
change in the road laws. They
propose to levy' a tax for the pur¬
pose of improving them.
The action of the legislature,
in appropriating a large sum of
money for the benefit of the pub
lie schools, last week was wise
and proper, and will meet with
the approbation of all good citi
zens.
The total destruction of property
by fire in the United States and
Canada during the month of No
vein her amounted to about >9,000,
000, which is nearly $7,000,000 less
than for the corresponding month
of last year.
Of the 400 survivors of his old
regiment, 223, it is said, have ap¬ , !
plied to Gen. Harrison for office.
It seems to us the old vets are a j
little greedy. If they have not all
got pensions now, they soon will i
have. To claim both pension and i
office doesn’t give other republi- j
cans a fair chance at the spoils.
A bushel of corn makes four j
gallons of whisky. It sells foi
$1(5 at retail. The Government
gets $3.60, the farmer forty
the railroad $1, the manufacturers
$4, the vendor $7, and the drinker
all that is left—delirium tremens.
The Scientific American lias
long held t tie tii st tank among tm 1
leading publications regarding
practical information about ait.
sciences, mechanics, . chemn try, m
ventions, and manufactures. ho
one who wishes to keep acquainted
with the rapid advancement along
these lines can dispense with it.

The lower house of tiro legisla¬
ture of New York contains only
fifteen farmers, although the agri¬
cultural districts cast over half the
entire vote of the state. Among
those elected as farmers are sever¬
al who are said to do only “parlor
farming.” In Georgia it is differ¬
ent. The legislature, now in ses¬
sion, shows an increased number,
iu fact a remarkably large number
of farmers, and the indications are
that the people won’t regret hay
elected them.
The colored man is going out of
fashion in New York, much to his
»
disgust, according to a speaker
at the (’bickering hall meeting
last week. ‘‘The colored coach
- the ,. colored . . barber, , ,, . he
man ami
said, have disappeared from New
York, the Englishman wears the
waiter s apron in the hoted dining
rooms, the Irishman has seized
the whitewash brush, and the al
moud-eyed Mongolian peeps over
the washtub where once the
key'sjace was seen.”
If what Judge Cooley says is
true, the inter-state commerce law
is by bo in©tins the success its
authors expected it tobe.
mg to him the railroads
on each other, and the big ship
pers who beneht by rebates and
other illegal practices won’t inform
on the railroads. All this is very
natural. The law was enacted on
the principle that these people
would not do the fair thins - , audit
was proposed . to force them . to .
it. Tho remedy is to make the law
better.
Mr. Powderly says he is alto¬
gether happy. The Knights
Labor are neither bankrupt nor j
extinct, but art gi owing stronger
both financially and numerically. I

Conyers, Ga., Dec. 14tli 1888.
To the readers of the Rockdale
Banner: Will von please read and
take a policy in the King’s insur- j
anco company, the greatest, old- ;
est and only absolutely reliable j
fire, marine and life insurance
company in the world?

riches of Christ.

inheritance incorruptable, un
defiled and that fadeth not away, j
reserved in heaven for policy hol¬
^ lars.—Bible.

nre.

• President: King of kings,
Will you take a policy in this
•ompany?
Are you insured?
Reasons for insuring in
King’s insurance company:
1. It is the oldest insurance
company in the world, having been
in successful operation thousands
i of years.
2. The only company insuring
against loss in the great Judg
ment day fire.
3. The only company insuring
against shipwreck in the river of
death.
4. Its policies never expire, giv¬
ing to the holder® eternal life.
5. It is run on the fountain prin
c-iple; you begin to draw on the
ompany immediately after receiv
iug your’ policy.
6. There has never been a draft
from any policy-holder, when pro¬
perly signed, dishonored by this
company.
7. It 1ms never changed man
- agement.
j It insures a mau for more
than he is worth.

as Christians live, and die the
death of the righteous, is the pray¬
er of your humble servant. S. L. D.

It is getting about time for some¬
body to go out and find the man
who has found Stanley so many
times, and bring him home. He
deserves a rest.
