JOHN R MADDOX, Editor.
--NOV. 14, 18 So.
THANKSGIVING DAY.
The people of this county should
observe thanksgiving day, as For re
quested by the president. the ad¬
twenty-four years or more imperfectly
ministration has been so
unit unjustly managed that we of the
south had iittle or no inclination to
bow to the band raised to crush us.
Since tilings have taken an agree
sble and healthy change, we think it
proper to observe the day.
From wars without and rumors of
wars within, we, as a people and na¬
tion, have been singularly maned free.
No alarming panic has our
relations or weakened our credit.
Our inter-state and inter national
relations have been pleasant and
pieaccable. No enidetnic of disease has isited
\
our borders in blighting teemed power. with rich
The earth lias
and bounteous crops.
No sweeping floods have rolled
away our princely wealth.
Our homes have been visited with
substantial blessings. Our every
effort crowned with brilliant and
lasting success. it is supremely im¬
In view of this,
portant and just that we should
apart one day in tiie year to national
thanksgiving.
It is believed bv many that At¬
lanta will go dry on the 25th inst.
The Scotchmen as a body, in At¬
lanta, met and endorsed prohibi
lion.
Capt. Harry Jackson made a
rousing big prohibition speech in
Atlanta Monday night.
Last Tuesday Hancock stepped in¬
to the prohibition column by a
majority of 87. Still they come.
How will you vole if we have only
the two candidate, Stewart and Ham¬
mond?
The Covington Enterprise is very
earnest in its advocacy of Major
Pace as Judge Stewart’s successor
to the judicial bench.
General Toombs is slowly dying He at
h’s home in Washington, Ga.
grows weaker, every day’ and cannot
remain on earth much longer.
Revs. Sam Jones and Small have
located in Atlanta with their can
vas arbor to light dramshops, evils
and the devil.
To Grover Cleveland: Turn the
rascals out by or before the 2(ith
inst., so the south can properly oh
serve thanksgiving day. How can
one be thankful while the rascals are
retained?
II Atlanta goes dry it will be a
painful session to the next geneial
assembly. But it will be felicitous
to the tax payers. Ko let her go
dry.
Rev. Sam Jones n tied $1,000
from his revival trip to Birmingham,
Ala. His eo laborer, Sam Small,
made $400. In this the laborer was
worthy of his hire.
The Journal is making a gallant
fight for prohibition in Atlanta. It
is one of the live- t dailies iii Geor
gia.
It is conceded on all hands that
whiskey is the curse of the world.
If this be t rue, why do some people,
fairly intelligent, wish to perpetuate
the sale of so minions stuff?
Rev. Dr. Woodrow, of evolution
fame, was robbed of his valuable
gold watch in Atlanta on Monday
night, while en route from Hunts¬
ville to Columbia.
Monday night an Atlanta police¬
man tackled a burglar on the roof
the National Hotel. Several
wore exchanged at close
but the burglar escaped after
ings bullet through the cheek of
policeman.
Julius L. Brmvn, the son of
daddy, is writing some
anti-prohibition articles in the
stitution. Ob, give us

Gapt. Harry Jackson is too manly
to pose as a chronic officeseeker. He
will make it warm for his oppo¬
nents if he enters the next race. It
is claimed by his enemies that the
last race weakened him. This is all
a mistake.
The vast assembly at the First
Baptist church last Wednesday
night at this place clearly showed
how our people stand on the temper
ance question. It may he remarked
that the prohibition movement, agita¬ now
sweeping the state, was first
ted successfully in Rockdale. The
advocates at the outset were few, but
with a practical test of the law they
have increased until the entire coun¬
ty stands up to the law as one man.

W. W. Reed, druggist, of Win¬

customers, Mrs. Louisa Dike, Bar
tonia. Randolph county, Ind., was
a long sufferer with Consumption,
and was given up to die by her phy¬

New Discovery for Consumption,
and began buying it of me. In six
month’s time she walked to this
