As a rule, our candidates
dor. t have to do much speech
making, Money talks in this
neighborhood.—Billviiie Ban¬
ner.
Dr. Charles W. Lane, the
venerable pastor of the Pres¬
byterian church at Athens, is
rapidly sinking and cannot
possibly live. Dr. Lane has
been pastor ol the Presbyte¬
rian church at that place lor
twenty-four years, and is a
man universally beloved.
Will Meyers has again
been located in Corbin, Ky.,
and in Raney, Tex,, Chief
Connolly, of Atlanta, has re¬
ceived information to this ef¬
fect from both places and
the authorities at both places
are sure that they have the
right man.
Dr. M. H. Melton, one of
the delegates to the state con¬
vention from this county, has
already begun to practice
speaking for that great event.
If he doesn’t make a grandil¬
oquent speech on that oc
cassion his friends will be
sadly disappointed. Maj. E.
H. Almand has h : m under
training and will doubtless
bring him around alright.
The results of last Satur¬
day’s primary in Rockdale
count) 7 were generally satis¬
factory. Some of the best
officers the county has ever
had were defeated, but those
that were nominated are clev¬
er men and will make good
officers. Hope they will all
be successful in the regular
election, and we promise to
do what we can for that end,
The Spaniards still contin¬
ue to take the lives of de¬
fenseless non-combatants. On
the 2nd instant a column of
Spanish troops, commanded
by Colonel Ochoa, operating
aronnd Jaruco, Havana prov¬
ince, captured a poor misera¬
ble boy of fifteen years of age,
named Juan Rodriguez, suf¬
fering from nervous prostra¬
tion and so weak that he
could hardly move without
assistance, This unhappy
creature was dragged from
his home, a little farm near
Casiguas, and without any
compassion lor his pitiable
state he was butchered on the
roadway to Tapaste for the
sole crime of being a cousin
of a leader in the rebel army,
named Victor Simon, This
is only one of many instances
where the Spaniards have
likewise treated poor, helpless
people.

A special from Washing¬
ton to the New York World,
of the 7th instant, gives an
interview between President
Cleveland and Mr. Billy Mc
Gunnigle, in which the Pres¬
ident says he will not be a
candidate lor the third term,
Mr. McGunnigle inferred to
the reporter that the President
was weary and would wel¬
come the day that brought
with it retirem.ent from pub¬
lic life.
We are glad to be able to
note that we did not quite
drag Dr. J. A. Stewart down
to defeat with us, as was pre¬
dicted by the Weekly, Not
that we rejoice in the disap=
pointment of his opponent:
for we wish .that all worthy
men could succeed in every
noble ambition, but because
we would have regreted al¬
ways that our blunders had
been the cause of disappoint¬
ment to our friends.

SPOONS FREE TO ALL.
I read in the Christian Standard that Miss A
M, Fritz, Station A, St. Louis, Mo., would
give an elegant plated hook spoon to any one
sendiug her ten 2 cent stamps. I sent lor one
and found it so useful that I showed it to tny
friends and made ? 13 in two hours, taking
orders for the spoon. The hook spoon is a
household necessity. It cauuot slip into the
dish or cooking vessel, being held in the
place by a hook on the back. The spoon is
something housekeepers have needed ever
since spoons were first invented. Any one
can get a sample spoon by sending ten 2 eent
stamps to Miss Fritz. This is a splendid way
to make money around Lome.

A CARD.
To the Public:
I wish to express to the public
generally and to my friends par¬
ticularly my grateful appreciation
for the support given me in the
primary of Saturday. My friends
all over the county stood up de¬
votedly and faithfully to me to
the last. I am at a loss for lang¬
uage with which to properly ex¬
press my gratitada. I need the
office to make me a living, but
even in defeat it is a solid comfort
to realize that one has so many
genuine and true friends. I feel
it a duty to publicly acknowledge
my appreciation of the hearty and
liberal, though not altogether
successful support, on Saturday.
I shall always carry in grateful
remembrance the efforts of my
many friends.
Yery respectfully,
CoByery, Ga., Jas. A. Dukes.
