Tn the Inngtiage of tho sweet
school girl, the weather is just too
perfeclly lovely.
It is rumored that Hon. L. F
Iiivingston will be a candidate for
the legislature in Newton county.

The tariff' question is the only
onestion now, or rather the ques¬
tion of prime importance, Will
the democratic party indorse Presi¬
dent Cleveland’s position or will it
switch off with the opposition rank?
An exchange says the repuhli
cuns are at a loss to know which
is better, to follow Randall's leader¬
ship or force him to follow them
At first glance this appears to be a
puzzling question.
Fenator Colquitt /made a big
speech last Tuesday in Washington.
He took a very decided stand, advo¬
cating earnestly and eloquently the
Inriff view* as entertained by the
President. The speech is reported
to have been the effort of the sen¬
ators ’« life.
A New York Judge has decided
that n drunken man 1ms as much
right to the sidewalk ns n sober
one. This is undoubtedly true.
It brings to mind the alleged deci¬
sion of ft California Justice: “A
drunken man is as much entitled
to a safe street a« a soher man, and
is muoh more in need of it.’
A million copies of President
Cleveland’s message are to be sent
out over the country by a Dem¬
ocratic association in Washington
We haven’t heard of any Republi¬
can organization offering to pay the
postage, notwithstanding their pro¬
fessed belief that it has damaged
Democratic prospects. We guess
they must he fooling.
Among the probable legislative
candidates in this count}’ may be
named, Judge McCall;*, Capt. J. M.
Ztchry. Mr. A?a Sims, Col. A. M.
Helms, Prof. J. I. Coleman, Dr. J
A. Stewart. Mr. A. J. Smith, Mr.
Arnold Whitaker, Hon. If. W.
Hammock, ’Squire Bob Cannon,
Col. Glenn, Col. J, 15, Graham, Mr.
Jim Scott, C*l. Barton and others.
It appears that there will he several
candidates. Tho outlook is decid¬
edly promising.
Some weeks ago the Wkeici.y in¬
timated in a verrv casual way that
thsre would likely be more than
ore congressional candidate in this
district this year. It is still pOKS
HjFe that Atlanta will produce a
candidate if no other county in th e
district does. However, our little in
noceut squib seems to have excited
our good brother of the Walton
News, and in the following pa ra
graph he pours out his earnest sen
timentH in a style worthy of con
aideration: “Several politicians in
this District are feeling around
among the people to see if by chance
they oan slip into the position now
aoworthily filled by Hon. John Iff
Stewart. We take this occasion fi
announce to each ntid every one of
these aspirants, that they arc wast¬
ing their time. Judge Stewart has
made us a good representative. He
Is even more popular, especially in
Walton, than he was two years ago.
An opponent to Judge Stewart will
fttril it an uphill business in Walton
and indeed m every county in the
District.

Miss Mora Head is visiting in your city this
week.
Mr. John Hamby is farming on the Thurman
plan this year or as L’uncle Jim says, by the
book.
Prof Cornwell commenced teaching school
at Shad.vdalo Monday.
Mr. Hill Stanton ginned 5 bales of cotton last
Tuesday.
We think Josh of the Solid South had better

Conyers think of tho Salvation Army and

The Delightful Liquid Laxative.
Syrup of Figs is a most agreeable
and valuable family remedy, as it
is easily taken by old and young,
and is prompt and effective in cur¬
ing Habitual Constipatation and
the many ills depending on a weak
or inactive condition of the Kid¬
neys, Liver, and Bowels. It acts
gently, strengthens the organs on
which it acts, and awakens them to
a healthy activity. For tale by Dr.
W. II. Lee A' Son.
