Bunks County Farmers. This alliance met in regular quarterly convetion with the .Nails Creek sub-alliance on liie -till inst. All the sub-alli ances were fully represented, and a harmonious and fruitful meeting was the result. Much business was transacted for the guod of the alliance cause in this county, and the prospects of the order were never in a more flourishing condition. The financial affairs of the county alliance is in a healthy condi tion, meeting all the demands on the treasurer, and a snug lit tie sum reported on hand. Br>. D. 11. I*. Garrrison was recoinmen led by the county al lianca for application as one of the census enumerators for this county. Cotton bagging for a cover ing of this year’s crop of cot ton was adopted, and all alli ancemen were instructed to place their orders as soon as possible for the same. A resolution was passed en dorsing the action of the At- of Commerce with regard to what is known as the Compound Lard Bill, now pending in congress. A resolution was passed de nouncing railroad monopolies. A resolution was passed memorializing the present con gress to pass the sub-treasury bill now before that body. Bro. W. F. Hill was elected to represent Banks county at ihe state alliance at its session in Aug. next. Brother A.B. Stapler was elect ed alternate. The question of adopting an endowment feature in the al liance was freely discussed, and the delegate to the state alliance was instructed to urge this matter before that body at its next meeting. A resolution of thanks was tendered to the members of the Nails Creek Alliance and their noble wives for the kind andhospitaale manner in which they entertained the county al liance. All who were present seem ed to enjoy the.nsslves. The editor of the Journal was pres ent, and if he did not enjoy the crowd, he certainly did the pies and other good thirgs. If he did not increase his subscrip tion list, it is evident he did his corporation. Col. P. M. Edwards was also present shaking hands with his friends, and wearing a happy stnile, for he could see the pre parations for dinner and he did not have to wait long for an in vitation to “Slay Peter and eat.” On motion the time for the next meeting o 1 Banks county alliance was set tor Friday bo tore the 2nd. Saturday in July 1690 at Mt. Carmel, five miles from Homer. A Member. Take your county paper. It is your duty to do it. It is the best of all papers for you. You owe it every support and alle giance.

The desire for frolic and fun j seems to be innate in children. If you put a boy to work, it will almost kill him to chop down a sappling six inches in diameter; but if you can man- * age to make a frolic out oi it, he will tackle a tree two feet and a half through and get it down before lie stops. Having learned this much by expe rience when I was a boy, I now g . t many a job out of my boys when they are in fun and I am deep/y in earnest to save my own bongs. I am not deceitful notabit of it—but I always make a hard job pleasant for the boys, if I can. Net long ago I took three of my younger children out into the woods for a stroll among the wild flowers. While we were going from home, and see ing new things, all went as “inerry as a marriage bell;” but as soon as we struck the road leading home, about a mile from town, the youngest of the three, two years old, began to cry and said: “Fa, tote me!” Knowing that Bis little legs were weary, 1 picked him up to rest him a spell; but alas! the others wanted to be car ried, too! What was to be done? I had about as much as I was able to manage. One had about as much claim on “Fa ’ as the other, and each was disposed to assert his right without waining it in the least in favor of the “youngest of the fry.” Ibis was human na ture, and showed that they were infant members of the race. I did not fret and scold —not iu the least. That would have done no good. I sat the three children down in the cor ner the fence, and got them in to a good humor with some vi olets called “roosters” by the children, and then got over in to the field and cut four dry corn stalks for horses, and a switch for each child. I mount ed the children on their horses, and then jumped astride my own charger. Then we came cantering up into town in fine style! That last mile was the most pleasant of the whole walk. I doubt not but we could have gone a mile or two further with great pleasure. Indeed, when we got home the children’s blood was up and I had to fall down and break my horse to get out of the performance. There are more ways than one to manage children. The easiest way is always the best way, provided it does not in culcate a wrong principle, and thus lay the foundation for wrong doing. Gilderoy. The Eagle has frequently urg ed upon our citizens the im portance of patronizing home institutions and spending their money with home enterprises ) for by that means alone can we hope to build up and make a nourishing city.

The ordi nance requiring this will go in to full force in a week or so, and the police have imperative orders to carry the law out to the letter, aad if your “purp” comes up missing don't blame any one but yourself. Rev. J. W\ Roberts, pastor of the Methodist church of this city, has purchased one of the prettiest horses hereabouts. It is said he will make a mile in four minutes, But Bro.

Davis the other day on the streets in Elberion: “Full Fart.iulars:—Elberton, Ga., April 10.—The Star will say in its to-morrow's issue: ••Last Wednesday morning the loungers around tlie public square were treated to a sensa tion of tha most exciting char acter. “Mr. J. L. Harper appeared on the square with a horse whip in his hand. This unusu al sight attracted the attention of those who were in sight and they watched his motions with considerable curiosity. They were not left long in doubt as to the meaning. “Soon Col. Philip W. Davis was seen walking across the square, and Mr. Harper ap proached him and, as, nearly as we can get it, saying only, “You infernal scoundrel!” lie let in on him with the whip, and cowhided him in the most terrible manner. “We did not see tfie affray ourselves, but are informed that Col. Davis made little or no resistance. “The cause of the difficulty from the best information we can gather, is that Col. Davis made improper advances to a lady, which Mr. Harper resent ed, hence the trouble. Later in the djy a meeting of citi zens was held in the ordinary's office, at which Mr. I). P Ogles by was elected chairman, and Judge G. L. Almond secretary. This meeting after a thorough investigation of the evidence, and the circumstances of the case, adopted the following re solutions without a dissenting voice: “Resolved, that P W. Davis be requested to resign his posi tion as representative in the state legislature from Elbert county, and that a committee af five citizens be appointed to notify him of this action.” “ihese gentlemen went to find Mr. Davis and notify him of the meeting’s action, but fail ed to do so, he having already left the city. “Anotherresolution was pass ed to the effect,‘in the name of the honor, virtue, and peace of the county, we request Mr. Da vis to leave the town and conn ty in six hours, never to return.’ A supplementary motion re quired a copy of this resolution to be sent to Mr. Davis with the signatures of those present at the meeting appended. “Public opinion is very much exercised over the matter and expresses itself in hut one way —and that is in condemnation of Gol. Davis. “Yet still human nature is prone to pity the unfortunate and even the guilty. “This pity was freely ex pressed, even by those who I were most earnest in their con demnation of his action.” The surest way lo produce maral blindness is to neglect moral conviction. One who pursues this course will soon admire his own errors, credit his own lies, and take pleasure in his own wickedness. Mrs. D. O.

Brother farmers, let us give you a little advice, wouldn’t it be better to bring in all the farming implements and put them under shelter? Would it not be better to bring that cul tivator in out of the weather? Also that reaper? Likewise the plow stgck? Ditto that wag on and buggy? We know t.e manufacturers are anxious to sell you more implements, but you should look out for your own interest as well as theirs, and no farmer can afford to house his tools under a tree. — —[Henry County Times.
