October is the favorite month for
sewing wheat. Don't sow too late
and then s.,y when your crop is
short, that it don’t pay to sow wheat.
The Thomasville Daily Times-En-
terprise says: “There is room in the
Democratic party for every Populist
in Georgia, including lom \\ atson.
The remains of Major lleebe, of the
United States military commission, who
died last Wednesday at Havana, were

Large crowds attended the Diamond
Jubilee at Macon last week. It is es
timated that .10,000 people took in the
Carnival festivities. Milledgeyille and

Secretary Long will recommend to
Congress the revival of the grade of ad
miral and the promotion to that rank
of Rear Admiral Dewey. The recom
mendation will be heartily endorsed by
all the people of the country.
Judge Van Wyck, democrat is mak

At the meeting of the directors and

51TB FOR PRISON FARM.
Capt.
T. F. Newell Offers for Sale his
Plantation Near this City.
To the Democrats ot Baldwin County.
Thomaston, Ga. Oct. 14, 18P8.
The election for Congressman frem
this district occurs on November the
8th next. While as yet there is no
announced candidate in opposition to
the regular Democratic nominee, Hon.
C. L. Bartlett. I write this to urge
upon you the importance of having as
full a vote cast lor him as though there
was opposition. The Republicans in
Congress have constantly made party
capital out of the small vote cast for
Southern Representatives as compared
with tlie large vote cast in the con
gressional elections North and Best,
and urge it as an evidence that the
votw is suppressed and does not there
fore represent the real views of the
people. Mr. Bartlett has been unan
imously renominated for tbe 56th
Congress; his course has been endorsed
by the Democrats at’ the district in the
primary, and I think it is due to him
and due to the State, that the vote in
November should show that the Dem
ocrats f eel enough interest to go to the
polls and vote.
Yours very truly,
Geo. A. Harrison,
Chairman Ex. Com. 6th Dist.
REMEMBERING THE PASTOR.
Hard, and delicate, and difficult is
the work of the faithful pastor. None
but he can fully understand and appre
ciate the weight responsibilities and
ever-recurring labors incident to bis
ministerial duties. Various are the calls
made, and oftimes difficult to answer.
Home life, social life, political life, re
ligious life, among his flock demand an
overlooking.
Caring for the wants of the pastor is
a sacred duty. That abominable idea,
the creation of the devil, that the pas
tor is an object of charity we hope has '
forever passed away. He is no pen- I
sioner upon the bounty of his members, j
If he is faithful and true, he fully earns |
every cent paid him. There are pastors
today who ouiht to receive four times 4,0*^0 horse power at a minimum of $20
k much a* they do for the services j horse per annum, that he said was
rendered, but still there are stingy, 1 .
close fisted people who do not give a | not and t,,e P eo l’ ,e ot
nickel, and yet receive the benefits of 1 Macon stood raady to compete with
his constant labor. They come to Atlanta for the power.
Another One!
For some time past the prison com
mission has been engaged in visiting
numerous farms throughout the state,
with the view to selecting a site, lor
the penitentiary. At their meeting in
Atlanta, last week, the commission
gave the owners of property offered lor
the purpose, an opportunity to present j
the advantages of their places.
Captain T. F. Newell offered his
plantation of 2,200 acres near this city
with a water power of 2,800 horse on
an adjoining property.
In presenting the advantages o! his
place Captain Newell was assisted by
Judge John T. Allen, newly elected
to the legislature from Baldwin county.
The water power is about 30 miles
from Macon and in sight of Milledge-
ville and the asylum. It is said that
power could be sold in Macon arid Mil-
ledgeville and used in the asylum,
which consumes a large amount it coal
for generating steam power.
The price of this property with the
water power is $22,000.
Information from competent persons
in regard to the cost ot development
of water power and profit arising from
its use, was elicited.
Mr. Horne said that since his re
marks on last Friday he had gone over
his memoranda and verified the state
ments that 1,000 to 1,500 horse of
electric power could b« sold in Macon
He had also seen the General Electric
company’s agents, who said the loss
in transmission would not exceed 8 or
10 per cent, and that •lectrie power
had been transmitted us lar as 85 miles
in California.

The Rochester Post-Express—a
paper usually well up on literary mat
ters publishes the following, “written
for the The Post-Express.” It is called
“The Real Good.”
“What is the real good?’’
I asked in musing mood.
“Order,” said the law court.
“Knowledge,” said the school.
“Truth,” said the wise man.
“Pleasure,” said the tool.
“Love,” said the maiden.
“Beauty,” said the page.
“Freedom,” said the dreamer.
“Home,” said the sage.
“Fame,” said the soldier.
“Equity,” the seer.

“The answer is not here.”
Then within my bosom
Soltly this I heard:
“Each heart holds the secret:
Charity is the word.”

A number of Middle and Southern
Georgia counties were represented.
The discussion of wheat culture, pre
