THE WEEKLY I |R.‘J. GUINN, r ; ■EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR $1.25 PER ANNUM. Entered at the Conyers Post Office as second class mall matter. Advertising: rates made known on Demand. Job Work Neatly and Promptly Executed. It is ruraoted that Major Hanson will rebuy the Macon Telegraph and put Col- Lamar and Mr. Ed¬ wards at the helm again. ■ Between Blaine and Sherman we prefer to see Blaine nominated as he will prove a less jormidable op¬ ponent than Sherman. Cleveland vs Sherman would make the party whips ring. The Atlanta Constitution’s sen timents are : ‘T care not what oth¬ er’s may think, but, as for me, give me free whisky, or give me death. So criticises the Columbus Sun. The Senate has passed the Blair bill again. The house has never passed it, and the prospect that the present house will pass if’ is not very promising. Mr. Sidney Lewis, editor of the Sparta Ishmaelite, has been ap¬ pointed by Senator Colquitt as his private secretary. We hope this will not necessitate his retirement from journalism. He cannot be spared from his work. The guano factory and oil mill at Americus are running night and day, and then it is all they can do to fill the orders which come in. Forty hands are now employed, and more wanted. The weekly pay roll amounts to over $300. The Georgia railroad stock is sky high and $220 is freely bid for it. At the directors’ meeting Tues¬ day, in addition to the usual divi¬ dend, an extra 1 per cent dividend was declared, making it a giltedged guaranteed 11 per cent stock. Several prominent republicans of Atlanta are considering the advisa bility of inviting Senator Sherman, Ingalls, or Edmunds to come to Atlanta, at the adjournment of con¬ gress, to deliver a political speech, bearing on the next presidential campaign. The remains of a huge animal have been discovered near Cisco, Texas. The head is five feet long and threee feet between the eyes. The horns are six feet long and one of the teeth weighs sixteen pounds. It was probably the remains of a deserting blind-tiger-man from a prohibition town. The sentiment of the Georgia press is overwhelmingly in favor of a reduction of the tariff on the nec¬ essaries of life. The Atlanta Jour¬ nal recently sent to the editor of every weekly paper in the state a letter in which the question was nsk$d : “If both cannot be secured, which would you prefer, reduction of tariff en the necessaries of life, or repeal of the internal revenue tax on whisky and tobacco?’ Of the sixty-four answers received, fif¬ ty-six favored the first proposition and eight the last named. There are only two or three daily papers in the state that are clamoring for the repeal of the whisky tax. Mr. Blaine and Mr. Randall have not much of a following in Georgia. The brilliant and gifted Henry Watterson echoes the sentiments of the democracy of the land when he says: “The democratic party has acquired new life. It is now the party of movement. It has come back and come back to stay. It is the only national party whore patriotism is not geographical or mercenary. It is the only party that has the courage of its opinion and is led by a chieftain who has both integrity and courage. It is the party of the constitution. It is the party of the people. In short, the sole hope of good, popular gov¬ ernment now rests upon the re-elec¬ tion of Cleveland and is in the hands of the democratic party. S Fine shoes and durable harness a pecialty.
