In a little while the jute Avas in ashes. The sight Avas xvit nessed by a goodly crowd of peo¬ ple. Some of tlie jute ashes were gathered up in paper bags and scattered. The true meaning of the burning was doubtless to ex¬ press the people’s public contempt for jute bagging. Shoes at cost at Whitaker Bros.

Even last Aveek in the quiet and unromantic city of At¬ lanta Mr. John L. Conley, editor of the PloAvboy, xvas assaulted in his office by Rube Arnold, his son and brother, all armed, one with gun, another Avith one or more pistols, and the other’s weap on not knOAvn. Noav if this was not enough to shake the nerves and dampen the courage of an editor Avhat could do it? But Col. Conley, wholly unprepared and the xrisit of his assailants wholly une xpected, proceeded at once to entertain his guests in an enthu siastic and aggressive style. Af¬ ter claiming an eye and ear from one, a slice of nose and a mop of hair from another, the third was permitted to leaA'e in creditable order upon a pledge of futme good behavior. From this it will be seen that tackling an editor though always a very qrnet and tamely institution, is a n»ky -and dangerous piece ox Conley \ had • Now just think if Col. been prepared and had closeted awiv in a lirivate drawer a dan using it Avith the nerie anu cuui ness with Avhich he met his as ITS saulters every Ze one is ready to ad would not have ^ ^shed^ deceit burial burial However However we are truly * tty % re M orsted , goods 3 at cost at Whit- W GKcr x>ros.

The Conyers Oil mill, as Avill be seen by a card in this issue, pro¬ poses to pay 20 cents per bushel for cotton seed. This action is purely voluntary farmers on their part. it And the Avill see to that all the seed for sale in this and adjoining counties Avill be disposed of at the mill. all It it seems that the mill is doing can for the farmers and the farmers will in return do all they can for the mill. The way to make in¬ dustries successful is to support them. And the way to kill them is to Avithliold support. Hon. Jas. M. Smith, of Ogle thrope county, commenced farm¬ ing in 1807 Avith $300 borrowed capital. He has folloAved it suc¬ cessfully since and this year will clear $75,000 from his farm. x ggg“WlNE OF CARDUI a Touic for Women.

SteAvart, as a Avorker in the Sabbath school for lifty-six years, gave some good advice. The next meeting Avill be at the Methodist church. We call the attention of our readers to our continued piece which begins Avith this number, “Notes of Travels.” To those avIio like travels, this will be worth many times more than the cost of the paper. OAKGROVE LOCALS. Our lodge had a call meeting last Saturday night. Col. Peek Avas Avitli us and made one of his big speeches on the good of our order. One neAv member was received. We are sorry to know that some of the merchants in Conyers deal in jute bagging. It Avas moved and merchant adopted that that sold avg patronize it no put. in just jute and was as a warning. There seems to be no respect for our order. Cotton is opening .very fast: Most of our people will hold their cotton for 121 cents. That is only a fair price for it and Ave think avc are justified in Avaiting a little. Argus. ARRANGEMENTS MADE. To accommodate our friends who may Avish to hold their cotton for a better price, avc have made ample arrangements both in At¬ lanta and Augusta to store far¬ mers’ cotton at a very reasonable cost. The storage will be 25 cents, and the insurance 10 cents, per bale for a month or part of a month. We Avill be personally which responsible will not be thrown for the upon cotton, the mar¬ ket, but will remain subject to the oAvner's order, Frrmors can also draw money on their cotlon by paying 8 per cent, per annum. , We Avould be pleased Avho want to accom¬ such modate all those arrangements made for them.

Cotton growers all over the country, especially those who re lied most upon the opinion of tlieir leaders, have been expecting would be that to-day a change would made by which of they bagging get an in endorsement cotton the way of deduction in tare. We are reliably informed that there lias been no change and will be none in the near future in this respect. Those who put bagging 031 their cotton that cost them 20 cents per pound will have to lose the difference between 20 and 10 cents per pound. probable Not only that so, but it is altogether both from the jute at the present covered bales and cotton covered bales is deducted in the price an amount of tare sufficient to amply include both the cotton and jute upon the same bales. Our reason for thinking so is the fact that most of the cotton compressed informed, is and wrapped shipped, in so we either are top bagging, jute, after on it of the cotton or is taken off. This is a sad state of things, loss sinoe it involves but a great hope that to cotton growers; wo at an early day matters in the cot ton market maybe more equitably arranged. NOTICE TO ALL.
