SOLID SOL TI • 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 better or give us a rest. Mr. Rufus Cruse lias at last cured the Deputy U. S. of this district, lie was well dorsed and highly make good aud will donbtles a ficer.—Covington Enterprise. The basement floor ot the new main story is now ready to be put Mr. Horn says he expects to ready to put the roof on by the of next year. We have many firings to be of in our county. As a county, area tails far short of an average wit her sisters. But to. p.l>glvs-S enterprise in every movement general interest, pe.taming or indirectly to her people, she taken the front position, ihe law anu icuipcrsuce were first adopted by this Bulb have been tried and iu no We know a young etlitior who would make some woman a mighty goo I husband.—Covington Enter pi iso. We object to being criticise i d ir. any such manner. We will let the Enterprise know when we want such puffs. 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.

Miraculous Escape. W. W. Reed, druggist, of Win¬ chester, Ind., writes; ‘‘One of my customers, Mrs. Louisa Dike, Bar tonia. Randolph county, Ind., was a long sufferer with Consumption, and was given up to die by her phy¬ sicians. She heard of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, and began buying it of me. In six month’s time she walked to this city, a distance of six miles, and is now so much improved she has quit using it. She feds she owes her life to it.” Free Trial Bottles at Dr. W. H.
