SUBSCRIPTION RATE: One year, in advance............... $ 1.00 Six month, in advance............. ,50 Po pm lists Shaping, The chairman of the opu^is executive county, fournishes conrmiiee, us wit ^ i ie a. notice this week, calling a mass meeting of populists on the 18th of the present month for the purpose of naming elegates to the state convention, which meets in Atlanta on August 6th aud for the puipose © nonu nating candidates for county offices. This would indicate most pos¬ itively that the final campaign is shaping and that a repetition of the local political struggles of the past, throughout the State, is inevitable. The pre¬ liminaries are in evidence and indicate a bitter and determin¬ ed struggle. From what w'e have been able to gathei the very best men in the populist ranks will be placed for the va¬ rious offices and supported en¬ thusiastically by the followers of Watson. However, this has been true for several past cam paigns.when the cause for oppo sitiou was much greater than at the present time, and democ¬ racy w r as triumphant. With this situation clearly compre¬ hended by democrats and with a good will to work for the suc¬ cess of the party, there ueed be no serious apprehension of the result in the coming campaign. The honest voters of the country are in possession of the democratic paity and aie ma - ing demands f 01 the best intei est of the whole people. Their determination is uncompromis iagand the result can be only one way. 1 he people aie a unit and there is no wise or patriot ic reason to justify Southern men, brothers and neighbors, in their antagonism to democracy. They must come together and there are no terms more suited to the reunion than those em¬ bodied in the declarations of the clans that gatlieied in Macou last week. No fight can be made upon the platform of the Georgia democracy and the Chicago convention will give us virtually the same solid foun¬ dation upon which we will whip the National fight. It is tima to unite. The populists are striving to strengthen their party with democratic recruits. The main body of the party belong to the old host and should every democrat in Georgia discard the old name and tumble into the populist ranks it would utterly distroy the party aud its pres¬ ent leaders, aud the political advantages to he gained would not be perceptible to the naked eye. Democracy will never go down and the only way to ob t tin good effects from it is to re-unite and let honest ballots count at the polls, As tbe time draws near for tbe meeting of tbe Chicago convention the peo ’lo wonder as to thenomiua tion— who will it he? Delegates. The following persons are ap pointed delegates and alternates to conventions below' mention ed at dates set: Congressional convention, for 5th Congressional district, to meet in Atlanta, Ga., on July loth, 1890: Delegates, C.

The Senoia Enterprise says that a good i ooking) we ii-to-do bachelor of GriffiD was being teased by the young ladies of a cb;b for no t beiug married. He gald; , <ru m the one of whom on a gecret vote> u elect to b@ my wi{e » There were g members of the club, Each girl went into a corner and used great caution in pre p a n U g her ballot and disguising her hand writing. The result of the voting was that there were nine votes cast, each girl receiving one. The man re¬ mains a bachelor, the club is broken up and the girls are all mortal enemies, united in the one determination that they will never speak to that nasty man again. An exchange puts it this way: « If you are lookin for a locali _ ty where trouble is never known, idleness brings plenty and an¬ gels will minister to you, don’t stop in Georgia, heaven is your home. But if you really mean business and willingl takeoff your coat and work out your own destiny, this is the place you are looking for. It offers as fine climate, healthful sur¬ roundings, productive soil and best opportunities for ultimate success as any section of the universe.” If the goldbug “rooters” WQu]d nQW tum in aud fi ht the republican party with that 8ame zea i and uiitmrig energy they exerted against the free silver cause, democracy would sweep the country and there wou j d be cause f or g enera i re . joicing. Now is a very good time for them to redeem them se j ves and be of inestimable ble service to the democratic partT ._ Jackson Times The Spanish oflicors in Cuba are growing rich by despoiling their own government. It ap¬ pears that they are adopting the methods by which the Chin¬ ese mandarins get rich. They are said to be collecting money from the government to pay for supplies that were never de¬ livered; pocketing the salaries of dead soldiers; impressing horses from the Cubans, collect¬ ing pay for them from the -gov¬ ernment and never paying the owners of the horses. In short, according to the report, the dis¬ honest officers are defraudiug Spain and oppressing Cuba for their own private gain. Since they are growing fat from such spoils of war, they will probably try to make the fight last as loug as possible. Fevers are sweeping down the Spanish soldiers by scores and hundreds, but the speculators care nothing for that.—Ex. “ “ The silver delegates will control the Chicago convention and they will name tbe presiden ial candidate Communications. MASS MEETING. The Peoples Patty of Rock¬ dale county is called to meet in mass at Conyers on the 18th of July, 1890, at 9 o’clock a. m., for the purpose of electing dele¬ gates to the State Convention to be held in Atlanta on the 6th of August; also to nominate candi¬ dates for county offices.

We would simply ask the editor of the Banner to attend his weekly prayer meetings more regularly and not take the Holy Sabbath day for bicycle riding. Croquet Players. It is a Mistake. To take off proper clothing out of season because you have become heated. To keep on working when you are not in a fit condition to do so. To believe that children can do as much work as grown peo¬ ple, and that the more hours they study the more they learn. To go to bed late at night and rise at daybreak, aud imagine that every hour taken from sleep is an hour gained. To imagine that if a little ex¬ ercise is good, violent or pro¬ longed exereise is better. To conclude that the smallest room in the house is large e nough to sleep in, no matter what the condition or ventila¬ tion may be. To eat as though you had on¬ ly a minute in which to finish a meal, or to eat without an ap¬ petite , or after it has been sat¬ isfied merely to gratify taste. To imagine that whatever remedy causes one to feel im¬ mediately better (as alcoholic stimulants and strong drugs) will be good for the system without regard for the after ef¬ fect,—Ex.
