Let Home Enterprise be Encour age:!—Start Factories and Build Up the Country— They will be a bene fit to Everyone. It is a fact that no place can hope to prosper unless its business men are willing to put their shoul i cler to the wheel. Il is a fact that no place can bisild up unless it has factories. It is a fact that every home en- I torpri.se, however small, is of bene fit to the merchant, the farmer, the mechanic, and to every class. It is a fact that every nianufac j turer is also a consumer and in ad dition to furnishing articles every i one needs, consumes the products of others, thereby being of mutual benefit to every class of citizens. There are a number of small manufaeLoric.s which would pay well that con! 1 ami ought to be started in Summerville. 1. A broom factory. This is al ready secured. 2. A handle factory. Plenty of suitable timber right here and a large home demand and every facil ity for shipping. Who can doubt that it would pay? 3. A furniture factory. The | same reason for its success as the above. 4. A barrel factory. The same as above. 5. A coffin factory. As every one knows the demand for coffins will never cease. There is money in making them. They can be made cheaper here than in large cities be cause the material can be obtained right here. 6. A woolen factory. There is nothing needed more in this coun ty than a woolen mill. It would offer a market for home raised wool and would encourage sheep husband-; ry. A largo home demand would , consume its products. We have! heard that one of Summerville’ ! leading business men contemplated iftiilding a woolen mill. Let him proceed. He will meet with suffi cient encouragement in every way and on every hand. The thing will pay. 7. A wagon factory. If our wood workmen and blacksmiths would combine* with outside help which could be secured, they could make the manufacture of wagons and buggies at this place pay. Plenty of material cheap, home demand and shipping facilities would secure its success. These are a few of the enterprises that must be put on foot if Sum merville is ever to be more than wiiat she is. , The business men of Summerville , are justly noted fortheir public en- , terprise. Now more than their rep- . utation in this particular is at. stake, . the prosperity of the town and county is in the balance. It will not take much money to make the 1 scales go down and the prosperity 1 of the community to go up. Let a joint stock improvment ! company lie formed and organized ’ effort be made. Or anything else done that will secure all- or any of 1 the above named factories. The Mills tariff bill was intro- : duced in congress last week. Last week Congressman Clements , introduced the petition of Mrs. F. , E. Mills, of this county, asking that , her claim of $2,221 for stores and supplies furnished the Union armies be referred to the court, of claims. It is said that. Cora Belle Fellows wlio recently married an Indian, did so in order to give her notoriety ' and to secure a large sale of a nov el which she intends soon to pub lish. If this is true it is certainly ] a novel way of advertising a novel. Maj. Z. B. Hargrove has been nom inated by the Republicans for Con- : gress from this district. The Ma jor is a high tariff man. He says he wants the tariff raised until it amounts to prohibition. The Major, will remain at home by a large and 1 handsome majority. Wc are enabled to‘state to our l.cdy readers, upon the authority of <>: r esteemed contemporary, the! l ew York World, that apple-gr< i v ill be the fashionable color for ladies’ dresses during the summer. ( . reen-api le will, as in the past, be the favorite for small boys. READY FOR A DISCUSSION. I noticed in your columns of last week that Mr. Coker said : “I would willingly discuss the question of ‘Farmer’s clubs’ with‘Bill Lief,’ but. do not like to tackle a‘masked bat tery.’” When I first saw the above I entertained no idea of discussing the question with him, knowing Mr. Coker to possess a wonderful abil ity of cofiimanding language, and in addition an argumentative talent which scarcely has an equal: but after much hesitation I have con cluded to inform Mr. Coker, through the columns of the News, that lam ready and waiting to discuss the “Farmer’s Club” question with him. I am not sure that I know what Mr. Coker means by the expression “masked battery;” but I infer from it that he does not wish to enter a discussion with any one that will not discuss the subject fairly and squarely. This I propose to do, aud nothing more. And as to my rein name I think that if is surtici.'Ut for Mr. Coker to know that I am his friend, and regard him as mine, and that 1 consider it beneath my hum ble station in life, to engage in personal abuse or anything of that kind with any one through the col umns of a paper; especially with the aged. So consider the way clear for Air. Coker to open the discussion. I retire behind my “masked battery” and wait for his assault. Bn.i. Lief. Ths Last Victim. It is related in the April Centu ry that the last victim of the civil war was Thomas Martin, a Confed erate Guerrilla, who was shot by the command of Gen. Joe Hooker on Alar lllh, 1865, over a month after Lee’s surrender. The boy, for such he was, had been captured a year previous, carried to Cincinnati and sentenced by court martial for j being a guerrilla. The sentence had been suspended. Then toward the close of the war Hooker, a de feated and revengeful man, was transferred to the command of that department. He ordered that Mar tin be shot in conformity with the sentence, but some humane yan kees procured a suspension of the sen tence while Hooker was away at tending the funeral of Lincoln. Upon his return he was very much enraged, and demanded of Stanton that he be allowed to regulate his department without interference, and it was allowed. Then Hooker, the brutal and heartless, again or dered the boy to be shot and it was done. So, as far as is known, Mar tin was “l 1 " last victim.” The. report of the comptroller general of Georgia shows that the wealth of the State increased last year $12,0'10,000, while the value of pMintation tools, live stock and farm products decreased $1,200,000. The Cincinnati Enquirer says there is al; olute terror in the Re publican camp about Illinois, as the state seems to be growing reck lessly Democratic. Tariff' reform did it, and, likely enough, Illinois, will be debatable ground in Novem ber. II i ■ s'; . that the negroes of South rqliua were deceived, in electing t'-i•••rnian delegates to their state convention, by the white trick sters telliu ; them that he was the same Sher jan who marched though the south .nd “sot them free.” rot cnoss BURS.

Has Come—Advertise the Country—The Only Way to Secure Prosperity. - It cannot be too strenuously urged ■ upon the people of Summerville and -of Chattooga county that now is the I time to make an onward and an up t ward move. The railroad will be t completed to Summerville by the - Ist of June and then strangers and 1 capitalists will be here prospecting i and seeking profitable investments. ‘ Some point between Chattanooga ■ and Rome will "row, and it is in the I power of the citizens of Summerville i to secure to their town the advan i tages over other points. A stitch in i time, an energetic effort, concerted I and united action in the right di i rection and the tiling is lone. i Day after day there can be seen in the dailies of Chattanooga and Rome accounts of those cities sc- ■ curing Northern rannufaetorie.!, and of their own citizens pushing for ward enterprises of their own. It takes these to build up a town and , a country. A town that depends up on the surrounding country alore, it does not matter how fertile that country may be, is certain to get left. It takes factories to give em ployment to labor and to furnish a remunerative market for the prod ucts of the farm. It takes facto lies, it does not matter if they arc small, to bring prosperity. This being indisputable, it fol lows that they must be secured by some means or other to Summer ville or else the town will remain at a standstill. They must be secured. For years the railroad has been looked for in anticipation of great things resulting from it. It is se cured now, and the time has come to secure the advantages its com ing offers. To begin, the citizens should get together, appoint a committee and I subscribe a sum sufficient to pay a j good man to stay at Chattanooga and Rome, as needs be, and talk up I the advantages of this section. Au energetic man could cover both points and, furnished with suitable advertising matter, could most probably secure emigrants and cap italists to locate in this county. If suitable inducements were offered, —and they can be—there is no ques tion but that good results would follow. It would not cost much to get a suitable man to work as indi cated, and it would, beyond almost the possibility of a doubt, be the best investment ever made. It is not the purpose of this ar ticle to set forth the advantages Summerville any Chattooga county offers in the way of natural advan tages and abundance of material for the location of factories of vari ous kinds, for they are known al ready. It is to secure some effort to ’let these advantages be known to others. The resources of this section will have to be advertised and it would be the cheapest investment the people of the town and coiinty ever made and the most profitable money they ever spent to use $5,000 in letting the outside world know of tb.e advantages this county possess ed for the location of factories. The return, ten-fold, would surely and quickly come in, and an era of pros perity dawn such as even in the wildest flight of imagination no one ever thought of' The county cannot profit by the building of the railroad unless something on the line suggested is done. Mr. Williamson will cordial-, ly co-opereate with the people in any efforts in this line that they may make. It will be money to his railroad for him to do this, and he will aid in every way he can. It can be done. It ought to be done. It must be done. And now is the time. Who will I interest themselves? The columns ■ of this paper can and will be freely i used for the good of this county, | and it will be continually remind ing the people that it is to their in terest to do something while yet it is day; for when night comes no one can work. Las Wednesday in Lo siana the D. ’.in atic st :ta ticket headed by ■ Nicholls for _• ivernor wa elected i by about 55,0 1 ') majority. ROSCOE CONKLINQ. Roscoe Conkling died in New York city the 18th inst. His sick- J ness was the result of exposure in the late blizzard. Mr. Conkling was born at Alba ny, N. Y., Oct 30, 1829, and at the age of twenty-one was admitted to ] the bar. Before he became thirty ] he had been elected to congress and > was considered the leader of his party in New York. In 1867 he . was elected U. S. senator and he . served in the senate until 1881, ] when he resigned because of a dif r ference with Garfield. He left the senate a poor man and* owing a i large sum of money as security for , a friend. He paid tb.e security debt . from his earnings at the practice of . law and left some money behind. ! Mr. Conkling was imperious, dog | malic and held himself aloof from his associates. But to atone for this he was honest and fearless. He ! came very near attacking in the senate the methods by which Hayes . secured the presidency, going so far as to prepare his speech, but . I through the influence over him of I Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague he was prevented from delivering it. He . could not tolerate fraud or indorse , \ men who were hishonest. This sen timent led him to say, when asked by some of Blaine’s friends to stump i the state of New York for Blaine ' during the latter’s race for the pres idency, “I am not engaged in the criminal practice.” Mr. Conkling was an honest man and the fact that he came out of public life with a character unstain ed after serving through a period reeking with jobery and corruption I ami fraud is the highest words of praise that can be spoken of him. He is another man of whom it can be truthfully said ‘‘the people loved him for the enemies he made,” for his enemies were the corrupt and dishonest men of his own party. He was an horn st Republican and his death is a national loss, for there are not too many of his | kind. CHATTANOOGA. I loft Duck Creek for this place the 14th. Coming up the C. R. & C. railroad I find the grade is about complete and thousands of cross ties piled up along the line. Track . is laid twenty miles. They are lay ing from a half to three-quarters of a mile a day, and are coming right along. There was a man killed at Crawfish Springs last Friday; he was coupling cars and was crushed between them. A negro got his foot cut off by the cars Saturday. William Lively, 2nd foreman, has the second section and will soon put the road in good fix from Craw fish back to Chattanooga; when this is done the passenger coaches will be put on. lam here at work at i the carpenter business and find a pl 'itv to do at g '0:1 prices.

Let's get , ‘ in our holes and watch the fun when » the cats find it.—Ex. ,vi rmy-ta gvicisx. J. N. Allston, formerly of Geor i gin but who has lately been living at Foolvilie, Tex., opposed his ; daughter’s marriage to a young | t man named Turpin. One night Turpin with a companion went to the house, overpowered Allston took ' his daughter off by force and the , j next day they were married. Alls ton sent for the bride and when she reached his house she informed him i j that she had planned the abduction herself in order to marry her lover. , I This so enraged Allston that he drew his knife and stabbed his | daughter in the breast fourteen times, killing her instantly. The authorities at once arrested him and took him to jail, where he en , i tered n plea of guilty of murder. . The night following he managed to kill himself while in jail. LIVED CEFORE HIS TIME Ananias was one of those unfor tunate persons who lived before , their time. Had Mr. A. been alive these days he would have been a great publisher, getting out the! • leading Republican newspaper and : ’ proclaiming himesli a protector of] I American industry.—Courier-Jour- : nal. NO. 12. THE PRESS. The Cedartown Standard grows better and better. Editor Folsom is “catching on.” The Marrietta journal unceasing ly labors for the advancement of its town and county. Its editorals are clear, forcible and sound. * The Chattanooga’limes has avery pugnacious editor. Editor McGowan pulls oil his gloves daily and strikes straight out from the shoulder. ■* The Coosa River (Ala) News has unearthed a seven years old poet. This is certainly an indication of enterprise on the part of the News. * The Cartersville Courant-Ameri ean is one-of the best weeklies in Georgia. It has done more for its county than all other agencies com bined. * The Calhoun Times has been greatly instrumental in securing subscriptions to rebuild the church es of that town which wore destroy ed by the storm. It could not en gage in a nobler work. * The Walker County Messenger says for inflamed udders in cows there is nothing better than a mix ture of lard and turpentine thorough ly rubbed in. To this we would add, if the cow kicks, get some one else to do the rubbing in. * The Douglasville Star says its town has three tastily arranged Millinary stores and concludes the statement by ejaculating: “Poor men.” Is it because Editer Peavy has had to buy a spring bonnet that he thus taked a pessimistic view of the condition of his fellow man? * The Cherokee (Ala.) Advertiser's columns are open for the discussion of the question of county nomina tions or no county nominations for •ounty officers of it's county. The people seem divided on the question. We venture the prediction that it will be a “go as you please and get there if you can” race. * Rockmart Slate says: You do not have to take out a search war rant to find where The ’Weekly Slate is. Independent and out spoken but Democratic to the core. No ring or clique can “bob up” without being hit on the head. It is with the people against the monop olists and their cohorts—the protec tionists. * Tne Atlanta Constitution thinks country papers ought to let polities alone. The truth is the Consti. wants to run the politics of Georgia unaided but the country press thinks this is too big a job for the Consti. hence they occasionally ven ture t > lend a helping hand. But it i- not the kin 1 of help wantel; hence the Consti.’s squall. INSECT GHOULS. The inhabitants of Albany, this Suite, are considerably worried over : i curious insect that has taken pos session of the cemetery in great numbers, and which, if the descrip tion is accurate, is calculated to cause nervousness. This is the des cription: ‘ltis a most diabolical looking insect and appears to be a cross between a grasshopper, cricket a wild Indian and an imp of dark ness. When a funeral occurs these insects, hundreds of them, assembles around the grave, climb up the tall grass and other foliage, ami look up into the faces of the assembled mourners with a leer that is horrible. They are a kind of wingless grass hopper of large size, and the devil ish-looking faces are streaked with red and yellow. There is a sharp uaiute-: hump upon thair Imck.. They : re very destructive to vege tation. A HOME ENTERPRISE. The Manley Manufacturing Co. have located at Dalton, Ga., and are’ prepared to make ir >n stairs, side walk lights, bolts, nuts and irons for bridges and ornamental work of ev ‘ry kind in iron, or iron and wood C bined. It is a home enterprise ' and carpenters having contracts re quiring anything in their lino will < do well to address them.
