Judge Branham oilers a suggest

district in this issue. Read it.
Bill Arp is opposed to Thurman,
but favors Cleveland. How good
of Bill not to oppose the whole
ticket.

September.
The Marietta Journal will sooi
blossom into an eight page pape r .
It. is already good enough, but Neal
ami Massey propose to make it bet
ter.
Harper's Weekly, the New York
Times and the New York Evening
Post, the lending mugwump papers,
are supporting Cleveland and
Thurman.
It is likely that the Republican
ti.-ket will be Blaine’s plume and
t Foraker's mouth. If it is it will I><
very thrilling to see the plume wavi
and hear the mouth make a noise.
About the only split perceptible
in the Democratic party now is over
the question as to how hank etcher
is spelled. Some spell it “bandana ’
while others say “bandanna’’ is the
correct way. All are agreed though
that the hankercher itself is all 0. K.
Emperor Frederick, of Germany,

Thus after only a few weeks exer

down at the bidding of the King ol
kings and solved the mystery and
entered into the dreamless sleep
called death.

Summerville High School.
This Institution was opened un
der the present regime two years
ago. The report for the fall term,
1886, shows a total enrolment of 49.
Os these 8 were iu classical and
scientific course, 20 in academic
course, 21 in primary department,
and 5 pupils in music. Three were
preparing for classical course in
college and 1 for teaching. The
report- for the term just closed shows
an enrolment of 111 pupils. Os
these there were in classical and
scientific course 27: academic
course 35, primary department 52
and 7in music. Five were prepar
ing for college and 5 for teaching.
The report of the U. S. bureau of
education for the scholastic year
1887-8 will present the following
exhibit of the Summerville High
School:
Total enrolment 126; classical
and scientific course 29, academic
37, primary department 59, com
mercial course 1 and music 10. Six
were preparing for college and 6 for
teaching. Entered college from
previous year 3. Average tuition
$22 per year; board S9O, state aid
$165, school property $2,000, and
instructors 3.
The pupils from this Institution
enter either junior or senior class
in college, generally the latter.
The curriculum provides for a
complete course in Latin. Greek,
Bure Mathematics, Ethics and Eng
lish literature. The course in nat
ural science is partial; want of
apparatus alone preventing it from
being as complete as the others.
What institution in this or ad
joining states, unchartered, unen
dowed and unajjled makes a better
showing than this, or presents su
perior advantages. Its instructors
are graduates of Georgia colleges
and trained for the departments
over which they presided.
What effect will a knowledge of
these facts produce? Has any labor
and care been used in securing these
results, or are they purely acciden
tal? Is this Institution the pride of
the place,or magni nominis umbra?
Are these results appreciated, and
if so to what extent?
Deprived of a home by recent ac
cident, shall it have a suitable resi
dence and equipment, or shall it be
turned over to the bureau of refu
gees and abandoned lands? Shall it
have a resurrection, or sleep the
Ireaded sleep of Bion?
Compare cost of education. Here
tuition from sls to S3O per year;
board SBO to $100; total expense
in literary department to boarding
pupils from $l2O to $l5O per year.
Abroad, same items with presumed
extras $250 to SIOO. Comment is
unnecessary.
Has this Institution effected any
thing in the past towards building
up the town? If continued and pro
perly sustained, will it enhance the
value of property, increase sales of
our business men and induce good
citizens to permanently locate in
our midst? Specially, will it, on
account of its convenience and
cheapness, afford to the large ma
jority of our people opportunity to
give their sons and daughters an
education commensurate with the
requirements of the age and imper
atively demanded in every station
of life?
In what column are our readers
arrayed?

The Governor.
It is almost certain that Govern
or Gordon would never have issued
the last order respiting Pope had
lie then known the factsTn the case
as he does now. The case had been
greatly misrepresented to him by
the Alabama witnesses ami as he
was under the impression that the
date set for the execution of Pope
was a week 'earlier than it really
was he issued the respite in order
to give himself time to hear from
Judge Maddox to whom he wrote
asking information.
The Governor was also under the
impression that the Alabama evi
dence was not heard at the second
trial. Os course this all shows an
ignorance of the facts that seem
inexcusable to our people, who were
here and knew them, but away from
home the case did not present the
same appearance it did here, and
the Governor made only a mistake
—just like every one occasionally
does. We are now led to believe
Gov. Gordon did what bethought
was right, but which was not, and
that lie would never have granted
the respite if he had known the ir.-
-i of .he ease. We wait to be
just- an-l fair with every one and
say this in order to present the
Governor's side of the ease.
BY WAY OF SUGGESTION.
To the Voters of the Seventh
Congressional District:
You have doubtless learned that
. the executive committee of the
Seventh district has called the con
gressional convention to meet at
Cedartown, at noon, on Thursday
' the 6th day of September next.
The executive committee for the
i several counties will therefore, bc
. fore long, designate some day for
primaries or conventions in the
. counties as they may think best. I
feel at liberty, for myself, to say
that I prefer primaries throughout
the entire district and I would be
glad if they could be had, in all the
counties on the same day. It is
important that they should be held
at as late a day as possible, so as to
give all the people a fair opportu
■ nity to choose for themselves from
the several candidates that may
then be before them, and give the
candidates, also, a fair chance to be
heard. At present the farmers are
in their crops, mowing grass
and clover, harvesting their grain
and cultivating their corn and cot
ton. Until the burden of their
labor is over, they cannot, and will
not, assemble to hear any one offer
ing for public office. All the peo
ple ought to be allowed to speak,
and everybody ought to desire an
open field and a fair fight. Give
every man an opportunity to be
heard, and then he will have no
cause to complain. Public offices
belong to the people, and it is their
right, after hearing those who as
pire to them, to select their own
agents to fill them.
It is my purpose to canvass the
' district and address the people in
public meetings whenever it is con
venient for them to give me an
audience.
What I h ave said is byway of
suggestion only, and not in a spirit
of dictation, and hope it will be so
received. Respectfully,
J. Branham.
Kickers.
Blessed is the man who sitteth
not in the seat of the kickers, nor
mingleth with the congregation of
the mossbacks and chronic grum
blers, for his delight is in new en
terprises and industries, new build
' | ings, and in devising schemes to
build up his town doth he meditate
both by day and by night. He shall
Ibe like unto an evergreen tree
planted by the river of water, his
leaf shall not decay, nor his branches
wither, but he shall wax fat like un
to a bay steer fed upon the succu
lent- grasses, and when the day of
reward cometh he shall “get there
1 Eli,” while the kicker shall be con
signed to outer darkness, where the
rustler and boomer are not known
and the business men never advertise
—Marietta Journal.
, From Dr. W. P Harrison.
Nashville, Tenn, May 2, 1888.—
I I have used Swift’s Specific iu my
s family for some time, and believe it
to be an excellent remedy for all
. impurities of the blood. In my own
, case, I believe that I have warded
off a severe attack of rheumatism
3 in my shoulder by a timely resort
C to this efficient remedy. In all cases
I where a permanent relief is sought
! this medicine commends itself for a
} constitutional treatment that thor-
I oughly eradicates the seeds of dis
ease from the system.

1 Cancer of the Eye Cured.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 14, 1888.
The Swift’s Specific Co., Atlan
j ta, Ga.—Gentlemen: About three
years ago, Jerry Bradley, a colored
. man, had a cancerous sore on his
face, near the right eye. It caused
him a great deal of pain, and he
lost the sight of the eye, but was
finally cured of the ulcer by the use
of Swift’s Specific. This case is
. well known in Wilkes county, Ga.,
1 where he lived, near Danburg, and
] i of this case, I myself have personal
P knowledge. T. C. McClendon, J. P.

The angel of death has again
visited our laud and claimed for its
victim Mrs. Joseph Underwood, of
Valley Store, who passed away cm
the evening of the I.sth inst., at 8
o’clock, of consumption. She was
laid to rest last Sunday morning in
the Chattooga cemetery in the pres
ence of a vast concourse of relatives
and friends. The burial services
were conducted by Rev. W. L. Shat
tuck. To the bereaved kindred we
tender our profound condolence in
this their hour of trouble.
Miss Ludie Blackwell, a most
charming younglady of Bronco,was
visiting here Sunday, the guest of
her friend, Miss Ida Boss. It is
hoped her visits will be both fre
quent and long. If there is any
place that takes special pleasure in
making its visitors enjoy themselves
it is certainly here.
Mr. J. F. Boyles, who has been
indulging in a case of mumps, is up.
Don’t know of any other cases here.
The matrimonial market is ex
tremely dull. We are laboring under
the impression that a young lady
not far away intends proposing to a
gentleman pretty soon—propose
they adjourn.
Miss Eula Boss, a popular young
lady has been off on a week’s visit.
Mr. W. M. Ransom, who has been
attending the Gaylesville High
School, returned home Saturday to
the delight of his many friends and
admirers. Sell is one of our most -
promising young men, and is as
cending the ladder of fame, an I m
his pluck and energy, bids fair to
reach its topmost round.
As leap year swiftly Illes she
avails herself of that privilege ere
it dies by making a pleasant we ’k’s
visit in glad surprise to him you
may surmise and yet a Telogian in
agony. Girls; how is that!
Owing to the recents rainy w ith
er the farmers are not up with their
work. Crops are looking very fine j
here and ought to for they hav i a
fine pasture to run in. Cotton is
growing nicely now. Wheit harv
esting is over, andfalloats onh ind.
A Farmers’ Club was organized j
at Chattooga church last Satur lay I
evening. Sixteen or seventeen j lin
ed. It seems that they are spread
ing with considerable rapidity all
over the Southern states, and are
now finding their way into this
community, and we thus hope that
it may cause a new era of prosperi
ty to dawn upon the farmers in the
near future. If properly carried
out, ahd the farmers stick to each
other, or in other words, be Alliance ;
men, it may prove a blessing to the j
farmers. The farmers are the main i
spring of the prosperity of the
country, and any thing that would .
tend to make easier their pathway
through which they are forced to I
travel, we are in favor of, for out;
of their granaries the world is being
fed. We hope their efforts may be -
guided by wisdom and crowned
with success.
What has become of Willie, your
Bronco correspondent? We would
be glad to hear from him—ladies
especially. Bill Smitii.
The Remarkable Cures
Which have been effected by Hood's
Sarsaparilla are sufficient proof
that this medicine does possess pe
culiar curative power. In the se
verest cases of scrofula or salt
rheum, when other preperations had ’
been powerless, the use of Hood’s
Sarsaparilla has brought about the I
happiest results. The case of Miss
Sarah Whittier, of Lowell, M iss.,
who suffered terribly from scrof
ulous sores; that of Charles A.
Roberts, of East Wilson, N, Y., who
had thirteen abscesses on his face
and neck; that of Millie Dull, ol
AValpole, Mass., who had hip dis
ease and scrofula so bad that phy
sicians said he could never recover,
are a few of the many instanced in
which wonderful cures were effected
by this medicine.

■ The celebrated Linkshaw case

disturb the congregation his con
duct might be a proper subject for
