Large num¬ bers of distinguished persons and many others from Chicago and other localities have attend¬ ed. Now the Georgians are be¬ ginning to go ia companies from every section of the State. What at first seemed a failure is now developing into a grand success. Every one who attends reports, “The biggest show ever in the South. > > I 11 different towns in the Uni¬ ted States the people are hold¬ ing meetings,sympathizing with Cuba. It appears that a strong feeling is manifested in this country for the liberation of that island from the oppression of Spain. Recruits are being or¬ ganized in New York, New Jer¬ sey and Chicago to soon embark for the battle scenes, and to as¬ sist the insurgents in their strug¬ gle far independence. The strong expressions of the people in this country will likely force the gov¬ ernment to recognize the belig ernnt rights of the Cubans. The legislature has been hard at work since the body convened. Many important bills have been introduced and some have pass¬ ed. The all absorbing question is the discussion of the temper¬ ance movement, embodied in tho Bush, or anti-barroom, bill. There is strong opposition to its pass Ago by many of the best peo¬ ple in Georgia, who favor local option. They think that as the larger portion of the State has the local option by the express will of the people, it is nothing but fair that the temperance peo ple should give the other coun¬ ties the same opportunity. There is such an overwhelming senti¬ ment favoring local option that it is argued the time is not far distant when the entire State will hv vote expel whisky selling from its territory. The Putnam Herald in com¬ menting upon flic low prices giv¬ en for lands on livst Tuesday’s sales in Eatonton. traces the cause to the financial policy o' the government and the want of he free coinage of silver at 1(5 to 1. This is what we understand by the position taken. We wish to say that if this he true, lands would be equally low priced throughout our country, for, surely, Cleveland’s policy does not operate against Putnam lands and in favor of other por¬ tions of Georgia. On the first Tuesday,in Rockdale, lands sold before tlie court house door in Conyers brought from six to four teen dollars per acre, improve¬ ments and situation somewhat governing the price. The Gwin¬ nett Herald says that lands sold well in that county. w ppsegjSsxsaas B 5q?x$8 OvNV for Infants and Children, OTHERS, Oo Vou HtlMQW that Paregoric, |f § Bateman’s Drops, Godfrey’s Cordial, many so-called Soothing Syrups, and most remedies for children are composed of opium or morphine?

Do You Know that the Patent Office Department of the United States, and of other countries, have issued exclusive right to Dr. Pitcher and his assigns to use the word “ Castoria ” and its formula, and that to imitate them is a state prison offense ? Do Yon Know that one of the reasons for granting this government protection was because Castoria had been proven to be absolutely harmless ?

We assert that it is the party, and not Cleveland, to blame for the recent Waterloo defeat. We well remember how a Democratic House and Senate fail to do what the people clam¬ ored for, and how many, all ov¬ er the country, predicted the ousting of the party when the next election should occur. We remember,too, that v bile Cleve¬ land had liia fixed idea as to the financial policy of the govern¬ ment, there was no attack made upon him, except crifci occasionally from some of tho leading journals, until con¬ gress adjourned without doing anything looking to the relief of the country. Then the whole work was upon Cleveland’s shoulders, and he did what he conscientiously thought for the best. Now he is condemned foi everytt ing that goes wrong: or is thought to he wrong. Now, gentlemen, the Democratic par¬ ty is responsible for the reverses upon us; not only t.he great statesmen, but every petty pol¬ itician seeking his own prefer¬ ment and agitating the minds of the people throughout the country, exciting them to fever Thousands ot Women!
