O'KELLEY, Editor and Proprietor, /Z. V. SIS The colored people of Morgan county will soon open up an Al¬ liance store at Madison. The National Grange which was in session last week in Atlan¬ ta will meet next year in Spring field Ohio. What is it that can't be raised in Georgia? Mrs. W. T. McHenry of Madison lias a bunch of ba¬ nanas that grew in her yard that are as sweet as imported ones. An exchange says [the price of cotton is still low, and the farmers are beginning to look blue in the face; that there is only one rem¬ edy, make less cotton and more grub. Dr. Andrew A. Lispcomb, ex¬ chancellor oi the state university, died at his home in Athens last Sunday morning at 10:30 o’clock. His funeral occurred yesterday afternoon. Of course it was the alliance members, you know, that elected Senator Gordon! This scores another victory for the farmers movement! Hands all around!— Covington Star. It is rumored that Gordon’s election will bi contested upon the ground that no one after hav¬ ing voted had a right to change his vote before the result was de¬ clared. Twadling bosh! Those who advised the farmers to hold tlieir cotton for a better price this season made a dismal mistake, and some of the farmers in this county arc painfully con¬ scious of the mistake now. The North Georgia News, pub¬ lished at Cartersville, has sus penden publication. The News was tho Alliance organ of the county and some of the stock¬ holders were prominent members of that order. Dr. W. A. O’Daniel, of Twiggs county, has been appointed prin¬ cipal physician of the peniten¬ tiary. Mr. R. F. Wright, of El¬ bert county, has been appointed assistant principal keeper of the pentitentiary. Both appoint ments were made after a very thorough consideration cf the matter. It is now acknowledged that Conyers is the best cotton mar¬ ket in this section of the stab*. If you must sell your cotton at the present low prices, bring it to ■Conyers. Habit is a great thing, some¬ times a queer thing. Last Sat¬ urday a Negro man c me into town from the country. He had been picking cotton all the fall. He had been picking that day; in fact he came to town with his cotton pocket on, and was making purchases. He went into Mr. J. C. Collier’s store and we suppose he thought be was st 11 picking cotton. He began to fill cotton pocket with shirts and he would have continued picking had not some one informed him that it was time to quit picking for the day. He had several pounds, however, and a settle- j ment was necessary. Marshal j Martin was called in, and the cot- j house, ton picker went staid to the guard: ? where lie until Mon Clay a when lus mother . and . i came m I naid him 1,1111 out uul * The 1 DC Tlpo-vn III gio was WIK too ton j industrious, especially p...Vff., on this Hue,—i>auies>l:le liTif Ttm nocvPL, Gazette. 1 j ■ The Georgia Volunteers An exceedingly interesting and important bill put in the house for its first reading. It is a bill by Mr. Holtzclaw, of Houston, appropriating $25,000 to provide for the better organizing, training, arming, equipping and maintaining the volunteer forces of Georgia. The bill provides that this ap¬ propriation shall be turned over to the military advisory board to be expended as the necessity of the volunteer forces demand. It May Be Irby, A special from Charleston, S. C., November 21, was as follows: It has been generally reported re¬ cently that Governor elect Till¬ man would be a candidate for United States senator against Hampton at the coming session of the general assembly which con¬ venes next Tuesday. Tillman, it was said, could have this high of¬ fice if he wished it, because he controlled a majority of the legis¬ lature. Captain Tillman has neither den : ed nor admitted these reports. It seems, however, that Tillman will not give up so soon the office of governor, which he has fought so hard to get. The latest story is that ho will reward one of his strongest supporters during the recent bitter figbt, John L. M. Irby, by having him elected to Hampton’s place. Mr. Irby is a comnaritively young man with a reputation of a fighter and a bully. As he is one of the few Tillman men who has not yet claimed an office, there is every reason to believe the report is true. My eleven-year-old daughter has been a complete wreck fo four years from iheumatism, car tarrh and kidney troubles. Two gallons of the Microbe Killer have entirely cured her.

To render more.effective the inspection of fertilizers, I have issued an order that no goods will be inspected in bulk. Inspectors will bo required to draw their samples in per¬ son, and to attach or have attached in the/ presence all tags. Manufacturers are earn¬ estly requested to aid the inspectors in this work that no unnecessary delay may result. Mutual assistance will render the enforce. ment of this rule easy. Tho new rules gov¬ erning this branch of the Agricultural De¬ partment are now ready for distribution. 1 beg that any will person discovering any violation of this rule report the same promptly to this sillce, To enable me to more fully pro¬ tect the farming interests of the state, and at the same time furnish additional facilities to the manufacturers, l have petitioned the leg¬ islature l or additional inspectors io serve du¬ ring the busy winter season. 1 hope the press of the state will call thr at¬ tention of all interested to these facts. Very respectfully, Commissioner it. of T. Agriculture. Nkshitt. ALL ABOUT SHORTHAND.
