Advantages of the Hard
Times.
The old “It’s an ill
wind that blows no good*’ This
has. in this instance, an a worn pa
cing maxium, ‘‘Make a virtue of
necessity.” Wo have had hard
times aud hard limes. We should
not have encountered them if we
had been able to avoid them; but
fcince they came we have utyler
gone them and have made the
most of them, Have they been
productive of evil or good? There
is little doubt that in the disad
vantages endured there is one
great advantage which is of great
value to our people. This advan
tage has come in the form of
teaching our people the lesson of
economy. Naturally we are an
extravagant people. This is tfue
of all classes in the South. Lib
eral to a fault- We have had but
slight regard for little things. In
New England men have become
wealthy on that which many a
Southerner has wasted. This spirit
of extravagance shows itself not
only in the great expenditures
which our people make, but in the
fimall ones also- In almost every
thing there is the spirit of lavish*
jnent. But stern necessity has
taught us the lesson of retrench
ment. We find that we do about
as well on a small expenditure us
on a largo one. in many instances.
We also find that we can do as
well without many things as with
them, when, necessity forces y,s to
the. adoption of such a course. A
false, or incorrect idea of propriety
has. until recent years, prevented
many of our people from selling
articles raised on the farm and
realizing, great profit from the
same. Some time ago a farmer in
Connecticut nought a half acre of
rocky ground, cleared it of its
atones, planted it in strawberries
p-;u realized S3OOO from the sale
of the fruit. A young lady in
Richmond, Va., used a small plot
of ground for double violets, and
realized a single winter SIOOO. A
lady having a vast quantity of ex
cel lent fruits on hand converted
them into bright, beautiful, tooth
some preserves, and realized an
amazing sum for the same. Those
are mentioned to illustrate the
principle of turning to advantage
the elements constantly within
our reach.
We have learned from one who
stayed for awhile in the families
of the Vanderbilts that they never
receive a package of goods, but it
m carefully unwrapped, the wrap
ping paper folded and put aside,
the twj.ne wound on idle spools and
put away for family use, or else dis
posed of after the accumulation of
a given quantity. Our people,
even the poorest of them are dis
posed to laugh at these things as
beneath their attention, but they
/ire really worthy of consideration.
& turfy Mature and she is a most
economical mother. She looses
nothing. The fuel consumed is

#hat fuel, irrfhe vapory- smoke
ascends are elements that
tf.inti'ibute to the production of
fiber elements. The breath of
fhe ox contributes to the grazed
stubble from which he plucks his
.grass. Mere is the lesson simple
and brief brought continually
before our minds. We have a re
jcioi* most fertile in resources. We
have soils of every possible va
riety ; a climate which is * per
petual delight and our people
might become the thriftiest on the
giolie, if they only have the minds
to become such-

Harmony Grove, Banks
County, Ga.
How would tins sound in the
ears of our citizens. Not very
bad we think. Of courßa there is
a hoiue-like feeling about the
name of old Jackson ;_but some
day, wo can not tell how soon, we
think our address will read soirn
thing like the above heading.
This matter has been quietly
talked before and is bong talked
again, and it will continue to be
talked until, something will be
done.
| Jt would be necessary now to
{change the State Constiution in
] order to create anew county and
I this would probably be impossi-
I ble. But we think it would not
be impossible for us to be cut off
into Banks county. There are
many reasons why we should be.
Banks is a small county and
Jackson is a very large one. A
part of Wilson, Newtown and
Harrisburg and the whole of Min
ishes district could be cut off to
Banks and still leave Jackson
plenty of territory. Harmony
Grove wants a court house. If we
are not already too big, the time
will come when we will be too big
to go away from homo to do our
courting. Banks is greatly in
need of a court house and if our
sister Homer will excuse our
frankness, Banks is greatly in
need of a town in which to build
a court house, Jf Harmony Grove
could only get cut off into Banks
county we feel -confident they
would build the bounty a hand
some modern court houso for the
privilege of having it moved here.
It would be more convenient for
Maysville to come here than to go
to Homer and Jefferson* We be
lieve they would prefer it, It
would be move convenient for the
thousand or more voters who
would be cut of in the territory
! named to come to Harmony Grove
than it would he to go to Jeffer
son. It will be more convenient
for fully one-half of Banks coun
ty to attend to their court busi
ness in Harmony Grove than it
would bo in Homer. Of course it
would be rather inconvenient for
a few in the extreme upper part
of Banks county who do not come
to Harmony Grove to do their
trading, but this arrangement
would undoubtedly benefit three
or four citizens where it would in
convenience one, and the majority
should have the preference Lets
work on this matter. It is impor
tant.
The people in and around Mays*
ville and Nicholson could jump on
the train any time and come
to court at Harmony Grove in
stead of riding through mud and
dust to Homer and Jefferson. The
citizens of Harrisburg, Bushville,
Davids, etc., coitie to Harmony
Grove to do their trading any
way. It is the proper thing to do.
Lets do it if we can.
People-
Old people who require medicine
to regulate the bowels and kidneys
will find the true remedy it Electric
Bitters. This medicine does not
stimulate and contains no whiskey
nor other intoxicant, hut acts as a
tonic and alterative. It acts mildly
on the stomach and bowels, adding
strength and giving tone to the or
gans, thereby anting Nature in the
performance of the functions. Elec
tric Bitters is an excellent appetizer
and aids digestion. Old people find
it just exactly what they need. Price

Two Lives Saved.
Mrs. Phobe Thomas, of Junction
City, 111., was toltl by her doctors she
bad Consumption and that there was
no hope for her, but two bottles of
Dr. King’s New Discovery complete
ly cured’ her and she says il saved
her life. Mr. Thou, jiggers, 139
Florida St. San Francisco, suffered
from a dreadful cold, approaching
Consumption. Tiied without result
everything eise then bought one b-t
--tle of Dr. King’s New Discovery' and
in two weeks was cured, lie is
naturally thankful. It is such results,
of which these are samples, that

The Lease of the North
eastern.
The Northeastern railroad will i
be leased on .May fifth for a-derni of ■
twenty years- We understand!
there are quite a number of prom
inent men in Athens and other {
places who will bid for the road, j
Under the State management the
road has paid a very good djvi- 1
jdend. The Southern claimed the
! road did not pay operating ex*
{ponses. We hardly see how this
could be true as we learn from
! pretty reliable source that the
! freight receipts of the road in Feb
ruary alone wire over $5,000. It
|is claimed that neither the Sea
board nor the Southern want it,,
and the lease will fall to some pri
vate corporation or individual. It
the Southern. did want it they
have to much business sense to
let any body know it. It would
not surprise us to see it tui’n up
t in their hands. We believe they
| could and would do more for the
stations along the road than indi
viduals could do. _ i

Mrs. T. J. Meador has kind words

Dr. J. B. Hawthorne is thinking
of accepting a call in Nashville,
Tenn. We hope he will remain
in Georgia. He is a good man.
We need him.
So far as we have seen only one
thing in Harry Edwards’ prize
story to object $o When lie de
scribes Marv as dancing a break
down at, a negro frolic, wo think
lie is not true to life. No respect
able young Southern woman would
be guilty of such a thing; and

Southern womanhood.
Trial by Jury.
Instead of a jury of twelve men,
we propose to 'empanel the whole
pubiic, men and Women, and simply
ask them to read the testimony and
make up
THE VERDICT.
Now for the testimony. Dr. Mar
tin, of Atlanta, testifies that he has
used
Stuart’s Gin and Buchu
in Ins practice with fine results, and
that he has even cured Bright’s dis
ease of the kidneys with it, afle: all
other remedies failed.
Dr. Contain, of Hex, Ca, testifies
that he has b ea prescribing Stuart’s
Gin and Buchu for some time, and
that it is the best remedy he knows
for kidney, urinary and all bladder
troubles.
Mr. E. D. L. Mobley, of Atlanta,
testifies that lie suffeied for years
with some obscure kidney trouble,
wnicli at limes gave him great pain
and suffering. Ah hough he tried
all manner of remedies, both regular
and irregular, he found no relief un
til he took STUART’S GIN AND
BUCTHJ. It made a .perfect cure.
We etvuld add much of same kind of
testimony, but space and time forbid.
If you suffer, try a bottle; tt will not
disappoint you. Sold by all drug
