AI.LEN, Sept. 27, 1887. 12 flt. Adm’r. EDITORIAL GLIMPSES. JlMr. Julien Rogers, formerly of the Telegraph, Macon, lias purchased a half interest in the Macon News. Judge Kit Warren retires as editor of the News. Botli these gentlemen have our best wishes for success in their respective spheres of business and life. It was a somewhat striking coinci dence that the Macon Telegraph and the Union-Recorder should have struck tiie “One Cent” idea on the same day, and without collusion; es pecially as it is a subject that lias not been discussed in the State press for u great many years. Mr. B. W. Hunt, of Eatonton, who has a fine Jersey dairy, proposes to establish a regular dairy show at the Piedmont Exposition and Macon Fair. He will exhibit bis churns, stamps, cream cans, and butter, with the mode of handling tho butter from the cow to the store. This will be one of thfe most interesting exhibits on the grounds. There seems to be a spirited rivalry among certain of the daily papers in Georgia to see which can get out the biggest sheets or combination, of sheets. And it is, in most cases, a mere struggle for size, excellence be ing a secondary consideration: and how they do brug! They remind us of two boys we once heard angrily disputing; one said, “my sister is heap prettier than your’n.” “I don’t care if she is,” said the other little fellow; "my sister’s bigger’n your’n.” The Morning News nnd the Telegraph are laudable exceptions. One tiling is certain, however re sults may be a little over a year lienee, the democrats have got the “grand old Republican party” in the deepest sort of a study just now. Their leaders were never so puzzled before. They know Cleveland’s strength—they are measuring it ev ery day, nnd find it gets more formid able as the days lapse. But who to put up against him is what gives them pause undperplexitv. Blaine is too open to attack on the record, and is a beaten horse. Sherman hns no mag netism, and could arouse no enthu siasm witli all the bloody shirts that could be thrown to the breeze. Lin coln is without ability, and apathetic. Depew won’t do, and Edmunds couldn’t carry the New England States. Yes, the g. o. p. is in a deep study. The Piedmont Exposition Had a very successful opening on Monday, 10th inst. It is said that 20,000 people visited the grounds. Hon. Samuel J. Randall made a splen did address to the crowd assembled, touched the magic button, and put tiie wheels of the great Exposition in motion. “Another Horse.” Enr tlio Galon Recorder. • Pencillings from my Perch. • By Mr. Pickle.

A LL parties are hereby notified that hunting or tresspassing of any description is strictly forbidden lands of undersigned county. To one perched on the circumfer ence of the circle, as we are, it would seem that, with the great Piedmont, Prohibition, Presidential and Proper ty questions, the Atlanta Constitu tion would have a four in hand quite enougli to engage its dexterity with out bringing in another horse (the Senatorsliip) to add to its perplexity. But the Constitution must always have a horse harnessed in the stable ready for accidents, and in this par ticular it is to be commended for its prudence, industry and enterprise. A Great Change. Not many years ago the democratic party—that is, the people—looked to the daily press for direction und guid ance in all important political moves, as through them it was understood that leaders were expected to issue orders to the rank and file, and the weekly, country papers were expect ed to obey tno word of command without a murmur of dissent, or tiie least hesitation to fall into line. All this is changed now. There is a weekly paper in nearly every coun ty in the State. These papers do not aspire to tiie role of organs of the party; but they claim to know the sentiments of the people in their re spective circles, and thus armed they enter the field of discussion untram meled by outside influences so po tently used by rings and cliques that have their centres in tiie populous cities of the State. Tiie time lias passed when one pa per at tiie State Capital, however ably conducted, and strong in the sinews of finance and favoritism, can give the word of command to its coun try contemporaries, and see its man dates instantly and uncomplainingly obeyed. On the contrary, the situa tion is reversed. Tiie big dailies take the cue from tiie country press be cause they are nearest to the feelings and sentiments of the masses, and having no other constituency to please or to cater to, are honest exponents of the wishes of the people among whom they respectively have “local habitation and a name.” B.

Orsik, in tiie Union-Recorder. Correct in every particular except that he did have most decided talents for plant ing. He was by nature an agricultur alist and hud lie given the same time and attention to planting that lie did to politics and a newspaper, lie would have been one of the first planters in the State us a success. I never saw a man who had a better eye or judg ment about stock than he had. He oould poiut out in a three minutes’ look at a horse all his fine or weak points. His judgment was unerring; so with all kind of stock. He bad fine perceptive faculties, and was cut out by nature for an active business life, und his talents pointed directly to a planter’s life. My father would have been a suc cess at anything he undertook in a professional line, but lie never would have been called a great man. He would have been a safe and sure man, cautious, careful and thoughtful. Be it said to his honor and reputation, he had no vices or bad habits of any kind, and bis life was built upon principles, not policies or expedien cies. He lias said to me: “Sly son, never lay your honor and truth upon the same counter with your pocket book, for if you do, your honor is gone. You can hold no argument with your honor without losing it.” I am something of an old man now myself, the shadows of my life are lengthening fast ; and my father’s ad vice was true in every particular. I have known too many men lay their honor and truth on tiie sume counter with their pocket books and the pock et book-lias won every time and honor departed oat of those men. Honor never argues or reasons With itself. It is our principles and our habits which make us honored or p or; and character is everything in man, if it be a good character. I never heard my father use an oath, or tell a dirty or vulgar story; his very nature re volted at oaths and unclean stories; and if tiie “pure in heart shall see God,” he stands to-day in tiie presence of his Creator, God, there forever to remain. For woman, lie had tiie greatest respect, because slie was a woman; and a modest woman in his eyes, was a little short pf an incarna ted angel. My fattier was a man of most de cided convictions in morals, politics und religion. He was no lialf-way- sort-of-a-iiian. A thing was right or it was wrong with him; lie was no compromise man. He did dislike tiie Democratic party with all the honesty of his nature, and was a whig with equal intensity of feeling. 1 have often said to him: “Father when you get to heaven and should discuss, if such a tiling is permitted there, politics of earth, and you should find yourself thrown with a Democrat, you would bow yourself out of liis presence with 'Excuse me sir, I don’t wish to argue with you,’ and you would hunt up some whig friend.” He was not as broad in bis political and religious views as your writer. He was an honest Calvauist or Presbyterian from conviction, and bis greut-gruud-futher, Rev. John Oruie, was a Presbyterian minister. He always said everything happened for the best, and such wus his reli gion anil philosophy. He never doubted God, though lie never at tempted to explain his wavs to man; liis faith was simple, pure and re signing. One more point in my father’s char acter and I am done. lie was em phatically a peace-maker. He never repeated what he heard another say of another, if it would cause tlie least unkind feeling. His motto was: ‘‘If you cannot say anything good of one, say no evil;” and nothing annoyed him so much as to hear one person ubuse another. He had his opinions of men but said nothing. Ami when 1 sometimes asked him what he thought of so and so, he would give me his opinion, but say, "don’t repeat it.” I have written thus much about my father because his memory is dear to me, for "Only the notions of the Just, Smell sweet iiml blossom In the ilust.” May lie bid me good morning in some brighter clime, wiien tiie night of death shall hide me from the face of tiie living. I hope Mr. Pickle, you will continue your biographies of tiie old citizens who gave character to Milledgeville, and 1 would suggest to you to call upon Mrs. Carnes, who lias spent over 80 years in Milledgeville, and as her mind is remarkably clear and bright as to tiie past, you can get many facts from her worth recording, und only known to her and two or three ottier old ladies of the city. Soon tiie few tiiat now linger with us, will be called up higher, to meet those who have gone before, for death is but a temporary separation l’or the Unloa-Recordor. How sad and changed; yet ’tis tho same old place, still not tiie same. Papa looks jaded and worn, an anx ious, sad expression on the dear no ble brow; his smile is just as bright an of yore but comes so seldom over the sad, worn face, ’tis indeed like a ray of sunshine amid clouds. God bless the dear soul, "Shine out ufav, Lore'll beacon itar,” and lead the dear one safely through tho many severe trials and bring him safely to the haven of rest, and to one of tiie many mansions now in .preparation, where we may by the abundant grace and love of God, be permitted to see tiie whys and where fores of what now seem to us myste ries and ofteu unkind. Even as a father pittieth ids loved ones, eyen so in a higher, holier sense doth our Father in heaven; not one is passed by; the record is kept sure and true. Therefore courage and onward with renewed faith, love and brighter hopes, but still onward and upward. All look fearfully at tiie returned luuutic. If she talks or laughs, they exchange glances of fear; if she is si lent or impatient, they are troubled and anxious; if she walks off alone, she is watched. Be joyful or sad, ’tis all the same. All look with suspicion on her every movement. So nothing is left her, but to think and think until the poor weakened brain* gives way and the mind goes roving and roam ing into space, peopled with creatures of its imaginings, yet seeming perfect ly real, and indeed tiie poor creature is at & loss to know if she be crazy yet or not. She knows she is not wiiat she used to be and is wont to say, I know not What I am, but do know I am just what 1 am, neither hypocrite nor fool. Wiiat else I am, or am not; I know not now, but shall know here after. Now, we see as through a glass, darkly, but then we can see clearly face to face and shall know even as we are known. The mists will then be cleared away by the Risen Sun and every individ ual and every act will be seen In their true meaning, and each will occupy their proper position; some to high er honors than others; but all will be content. We will know eaoii other there! ’Tis therefore better to com mence here—we will not then have to lose by waiting for tiie introductions there, if while here by the way, we begin to look, each, after the other in love an<] kindness, each ready to lend the other a helping iiuud over the rough dark places on tiie way. Each helping tiie other; tiie way seems neither so dark or rough with tho sympathising smile or tear; without which we are often weary indeed. Oh! the heavenly privilege of “strength ening the feeble knees,” of “lifting up the hands that hang down” silently, pleadingly for help. Happy lie it for all if the attitude lie heeded by the passer by. This is a beautiful world, blessed by its Creator with all tilings neces sary to render its inhabitants happy as ilesli and blood can be, or is best for them, all tilings woriing together for tiie tame purpose, each depend ent to a greater or less degree on the other. If one fails in any respect to perform his part there is correspond ing confusion. Tiie seemingly useless has its place whether we see or ac knowledge it or not. The Creator knew how to perform His part and needed none to help or give instructions. Yet we have many Solomonsin our day who imagine they could have done better. He that is unfaithful in small things would be more so in larger or more extensive works in higher positions. Have a care; tiie Master of the vineyard will shortly come and take charge of His works. Then will your every word and work meet with its reward of merit or demerit. There fore fellow traveler cheer eacli tiie other on the way, gather sweet mor sels for each other; the way will seem more pleasant, smooth, and more glorious will bo the ending. M. J. H. Washington Letter, « From Our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Oct. 11, 188T. Editors Union-Recorder: It was the proud boast of tiie Em peror Augustus, that ho had found Rome built of brick and left it built of marble—tho chief glory of that great Empire’s golden age: and iu> modern times, if we are to believe- tliose who, ns if by a magic wand, have performed the wonderful feht of converting Alexander R. Shepherd from a vulgar political boss—who- was, while Governor of the District of Columbia, during the reign ot Grautism, cheek by jowl wi.h Bab cock, .Belknap, and other corruption ists—into a deml-god, upon whom) they have conferred the unique dis tinction of canonization ere he has- shuffled off tills mortal coil,—we have- a parallel case, for it is claimed that St. Shepherd found Washington » wild waste of mud nnd left it the- most beautiful city in the United/ States. Anil if you had suddenly come into tiie Federal Capital on Thursday night, Oct. Oth, 1887, you would have shrunk aghast at the aw ful din and glare aud smoke and. sound of music, supposing that you. hud been accidentally switched of*' into tiie very centre of pandemonium —but nothing of the kind, dear read er—you would simply have been a disgusted spectator of St. Shepherd's triumphal torohllglit prooession and general parade of all the Shepherdites und truculent toadies to be found in the broad borders of Washington. Tim Boss—I beg pardon, tiie Saint— gave Washington smooth solid streets- and shaded, grassy parks—to say nothing of a glorious public debt of many millions, therefore perhaps, a majority of the Washingtonians wor ship him as the patron saint and sa vior of tho city. They have not yet proposed to change the name'of Washington to Shepherdton, bui such a tiling is quite probable, for one- enthusiast has nominated Shepherd for President of tiie United States How much better and more Christian like it would have been to have con tributed to the poor, whom we al ways have with us, tho ten thousand! dollars squandered in glorifying Shep herd. Thoughts of another prominent Re publican now come to mind—the un savory Bacon, who was spoiled on tiie hands of his party mid who, as financial clerk, dispoiled tiie Patent Office of $30,000 according to tiie »u- port of tiie Commissioner of Patents,, which lias just been submitted to the- Secretary of the Interior. The amount of tiie defalcation is muoli larger than . had been supposed, and furnished the strongest of arguments for turning the rascals out. Bacon had be«m j stealing thirteen years, and was not* detected until an undertaker’s call was imperative. Tiie October term of the United. States Supreme Court convenes this week, with a docket largely increased; over that of last year. Among tiie cases of note, I will mention two—the- celebrated Myra Clark Gaines litiga tion against tho City of New Orleans, and the famous telephone case. The day before the meeting of the' Court was consumed by the Bar of the Supreme Court in eulogizing the late Justice Woods. Secretary Lamar continues to re verse the indemnity railroad land de cisions of Commissioner Sparks—the Secretary’s last over-rullug having restored 329,000 acres to the Omaha road. . Secretary Lamar now secludes him. self from unwelcome visitors upon the plea that he is absorbed in preparing liis annual report. The National Republican Executive Committee will soon meet in New York or Washington to arrange the preliminaries for the meeting of the National Convention—the Committee being required to convene six months before the assembling of the Conven tion. Chicago, New York and Sara toga are always in the field for tiie honor, and some there are who favor Washington. The limit for purchasing fourteen millions of bonds under the Treasu ry’s September circular expired on the 8th inst., the total sales to that date amounting to $13,376,850, which is $623,160 less than the call demanded for the purposes of the sinking fund. What tiie future policy of the Treas ury on the question of bonds will be, the Secretary declines to state. Indispensible to thq Toilet. Darbys Prophylactic Fli^d cures dialing, eruption and inflammation of all kinds; cures inflamed or sore eyes; relieves pains from bites or stings of insects and sore feet; de stroys all taint of perspiration or of fensive smell from tiie feet, or any part of the body; cleanses and whitens tiie skin. Used as a dentifrice it purifies the breath; preserves tiie teetli und cures toothache, sore gums and can ker. A little of the Fluid in the wa ter used in bathing is very refreshing and especially beneficial to the Sick. 13 lm To Preserve Wheat.—Some of the most experienced millers advise farmers not to clean their svlieat until they want to use it. They say thu. wheat kept in the chaff never spoils. In case they do clean it a little lime sprinkled over it will protect it from insects of all kinds. A-Good Appetite Is essential to good health; but at this season it is often lost, owing to the poverty or impurity of the blood, derangement of the digestive organs and the weakening' effect of the changing season. Hood’s Sarsaparil la is a wonderful medicine for creat ing an appetite, toning the digestion and giving strength to the whole sys tem. Now is the time to take it. Be sure to get Hood’s Sarsaparilla. The further we are removed from the late war, and tiie actors in it, the bigger tho stories will get about the scenes in the Confederate cumps They will be told by men who were not born when tin; war ended. Many of them will have the rod of cor reotion severely applied by some old veteran that persists in 1 iug after nearly all liis companion have crossed over; but the time w come when tiie last old Vet will have passed away, and then tde good sto ry-teller will have an open Held an can lie with luxurious impunity.
