The Homer choir are preparing
their hymns for the Sunday-school
celebration, by practicing at difler
eat intervals. Shakespeare says,
“music hath charms to soothe the
soul of the savage!” Now, if there
is one of these things in Banks,
the great poet never said, but he
does leave a doubt as to whether
he believed some of the yelling and
acute pieces in time music ever
reached the soul of the savage, for
he would perhaps have termed it
neither music, feeling nor taste.
It was the pleasure ot file writer

doing a lively business. This firm,
it would seem, controls the bulk of
the trade on the Banks side. Its
proprietors, book-keeper and sales
men are kind and accommodating,
which bespeaks the popularity and
large business of the firm. The oth

County Alliance Lecture by Col. J,

A valuable and interesting meet

atfhecourthoti.se Saturday. Col.
Tinner, state lecturer, was persuasive
ami cnrmuamiiiik i . his add less, and
other tilings said: “The time
is soon C; ruing when every man will
be called upon to help ns down the
monopolies. Why should not the law
vi rs, met chants and eyety oppressed
class help ns, for t ur interests are one?
The great issre between monopolies
and the farmers is now formed and we
want everybody to help. The monop
oiies have made an effort to rob this
country rf tr< ru three to four millions
of dollars, and why not every man help
as to correct them? Let the merchant
say to the urnminer, away; the farm
ers of this comity are already oppressed
and they can no longer keep up the
middle man and speculators, we will
buy direct lrom the factories. Let the
lawyers say to the corporations and

your combines, \ou are C’ippiing our

Col. Turner says thirty five years
ago the fanners owned one-ha! 1 of the
property ot this country, now they
own but one-fourth,• and pay 4-s:h’s
the taxes, but he fails to give the
cause more than say “we wili u it elect
too a who ride to office of secession.”
Avery flimsy expression fur so pro
found an issue.
Col Turner need not have gone so
far back as thirty-fiye years to find a
hiding place in the decrease of the far
mers wealth of the South. He could
have found a place in the days of
Giantism in the New York Wall
Street Bepabliean loobies, when they
became so rich to the impoverished far
mers of the South, to lurther degrade
the poor d—ls, they passed the Civil
II ghts Bill—then came on the days
ot reconsttuction with the Southern
farmer. They did not neod Col. Tui

and then it was the Southern farmer

life, home and property. While
the white carnet bagger and negro
combined, “vered intelligently aui
watched the nominee,” as Cui. C urn

say to day that wa- a lime, if he voted,
he did not vote •'intelligently.”
This is when the Southern farmer
