together due to a superior

of the country boy, making him,
when lie grows up, more of an all

. There is a great deal of material
for thought in tho questions and
suggestions thrown out by our
contemporary. The history of
the country hoy in Pittsburg is
much the same in other cities.
Just why the country boy is more
successful than his city-born cous¬
in is hard to say. But ambition
and hard labor have much to do
with it. When a boy leaves his
country home to seek his fortune
in the great city he generally
carries with him the firm determi¬
nation to overcome all obstacles,
and to mount the gilded ladder of
fame in spite of all hindrances.
Often, through adversity, great
temptations and lack of stability
of character, the boy’s resolve is
broken, and instead of that fame
which he was once so ambitious

road to ruin and dishonor, with

CONYERS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1889.
It is reported that in some conn
ties of northwest Georgia the
farmers’ alliances are creating a
fund similiar to that of building \
and loan associations, and from |
this fund money is to be borrow
ed by members needing tempora
r Y financial assistance to enable
them to purchase goods at cash
thereby getting the lowest rates,
This is a most excellent movement
and one that might be extended
all over the state. If farmers who
have a few hundred dollars to put
out interest would only form such
associations it would enable their
less fortunate neighbors to secure
ready money at reasonable rates
and thereby aid them in making
their farms self-sustaining.
You will have no use for spec¬
tacles if you use Dr. J. H. Mc¬
Lean’s Strengthening Eye Salve;

accumulates on the eye balls, sub¬
dues inflammation, cools and

strengthens -weak and failing sight.

It is stated that a company has
been organized in Pittsburg, Pa.,
to plant ramie in Georgia. Ac¬
cording to the published account
it has purchased a large tract of
land in one of the most fertile
parts of the state, and will very
soon begin to plant ramie. The
most interesting statement, how¬
ever, is that the company has a
decorticating machine that will
prepare fiber for manufacturing
purposes from the plant at much
less cost than it is prepared in In¬
dia.

A mother was correcting

swered: “Well mamma, if I had a
little boy eight years old, I don’t

The president has signed the
bill admitting the territories of
North Dakota, South Dakota,
Montana and Washington into the
Union, After the elections held
next October they will be represen
ted in Congress by eight senators
and live members of tlie House,
All of these are expected to be re¬
publicans, though in two of tlie
new states, Washington and Mon¬
tana, the democrats have a fight¬
ing chance. When the new Sen¬
ators take their scats tho republi¬
can majority in tho upper House
will probably be safe for a long
time to come. In the House, the
addition of live votes to a
ty so small as to be almost help¬
less will be very welcome to the
republicans. .

the next season.
The Georgia Presbyterians have

fall when such persons go wrong,

“Can we win without New
York?” is a question frequently
asked by republican newspapers
since the new states wero adrnitt
ed. This indicates that the ox
pense of carrying that state was
so great on the last occasion that
the republicans are anxious to
avoid the nooossity of buying it
again.

The first time a colored lawyer
ever appeared in Atlanta was
when Aaron Alpeoria Bradley
came to tho state Senate. Brad
ley was a kinky-headed mulatto,
a sharp fellow, too, and when he
rose unexpectedly in tho court¬
room one day to defend a case,
the lawyer on the other side was
so indignant at its impudence that
he immediately forgot everything
he knew. The mulatto lawyer cal¬
led for the papers in the case, look
at them through his eyeglasses,
and made a motion to dismiss
upon some technicality. The
court granted the motion, and
Bradley with an aggravating twist
of his mustache, swaggered oil,
leaving the white lawyer so full of
rago and inortifiation that ho w ould
not open his mouth.

It is said that in the Sonato of

Savannah claims the oldest
wine in America. Some of the
oldest inhabitants have Madeira
nearly a century old. One gen¬
tleman has several lots of the
famous All Saint Madeira, impoi
ted in 1791 and 1793, the year of
the great tire in Savannah. Then
there is the famous Huutor wine,
imported about the same time.
Some of it is still in the hands of
friends of the family. Tho late
Mr. De Renne, who inherited some
of this wine, was often ottered
$100 a bottle for it. ,
An English jury has decided
that tho prince of Wales’ nose is

Boils, pimples, hivos, ringworm,

Some of the republican news¬
papers are trying to tickle Mr,
Randall by saying that he has be¬
come the loader of the House.
Praise from this source may bo
pleasant to Mr. Rondall, or it may
not. He gives no sign of what
his feelings in the matter are. It
is certain, however, that for years
tho republican newspapers have
given him a very earnest supp rt,
and havd never failod to defend
him when assailed.
Remember that Ayer’s Cherry
Pectoral has no equal as a specific

plaints. All druggist have it for

Tho Augusta Chronicle conveys
the startling news that the guber¬
natorial canvass has opiened, and
is being carried on by the Univer¬
sity boys in their effort to elect a
literary orator for commencement.
The Chronicle thinks that the
names in nomination will figure
largely iu tho coming- campaign,
and that tho result of the war now
being waged among tho Universi¬
ty boys will practically settle the
question as to who will be the
next governor of Georgia.
Avoid Appearances.— A worthy
gentleman, heving an unusual red
nose, was long suspected of being
a tippler on tho sly, by those not
well acquainted with his strictly
temperate habits. His unfortu¬

arilla.
One of the keenest things ever
said on the bench is attributed to
Judge Walton of Georgia. While
holding a term of the supreme
court at Augusta, he sentenced a
man to seven years iu prison for
a grave crime, Tho prisoner’s
counsel asked for a mitigation of
the sentence, on the ground that
the pmsonor’s health was very
p)Oor. “Your honor,” said he, “I
am satisfied that my client cannot
live out half that term, and I bog
of you to change tho sentence.”
“Well, under those circuinstancos”
said tho judge, “I will change the
sentence. I will make it for life,
instead of seven years.” The
prisoner chose to abide by the
original sentence, which the judge
permitted him to elect.
