Newspaper Page TextDade County Gazette RISING FAWN, GEORGIA. " SIl E SBAT. WAY 8, 1879- i mi ■mum Tfic OR<>Ecss;t Knave. A letter from a “Traveler” to the Courier-Journal, from Okolouit, Miss., the pica. l ant but unpretentious town whose little newspaper, an account of its idojtic ravings has created such a stir by the Republican press of the north says; i have taken it upon myself to inter view a number of the leading citizens of Okolona on this subject, and they assert w ithout exception and without hesitation that the States newspapers does not re boot the sentiments of the people of'this town or this section; in fact, it lias no following and no influence here, and rep icrents r.olcdy # but its two editors, Har ]er and Kernan is a carpet-bagger from .somewhere in Ohio, and when that is said tlie theme is exhausted as he and the people—the white people—of this baili wick don't “amalgamate” extensively so to speak. Harper lias always been regard ed as an excentric, harmless, windy old blatherskite, whose highest aim and ob ject, like his great prototype. Brick Pom eroy, is notoriety, at whatever cost. Po litically lie has long been in antagonism to the Democratic party, in consequence of his repeated failures to receive office or any sort of recognition at their hands, and he has been heard to say that lie would yet “break the party up,” Which accounts for the milk in his sickly cocoa nut. His affiliations and associations are all with the “opposition” in this State under w hatever name known its present cognomen being the “Greenback party,” w ith which lie is openly and closely iden tified, the “Greenback” party in tlie South being looked upon as identical the Republican party in the North. His paper which is one of the regular Ya hoo-swamp patent-outsiders, has, 1 am further assured, never received the sup port, indorsement or official patronage of the Democratic party the Chickasaw Messenger being the oflicial paper of the county and the only recognized reflex here of the Democratic sentiments Each issue of this delectable sheet (the States) is now tilled with extracts culled from the Republican papers of the North com menting in rapturous terms upon its silly effusions and the editor I am told, takes it around among his acquaintances in the town points to these numerous highly flavored extracts with a grin and a chuckle, boasting the while ol the rich rumpus he is kicking up and the big noise bis paper it making in the world. The citizens of this town and county wish ii known that they would before have tak rn steps to express in a public and un mistakable way their emphatic repudia tion of the States and all its belongings, but knowing the utter insignificance of the paper at home; they never supposed that any importance would bo att died toits utteranc s abroad. The reference to it by some of the Northern journals as “a leading and influential paper of the South is what Josh Billings would call “sni- kasm biled down.” But small matter, that. The force will be kept up, and when the Okolona wane-doodle again C 1 v_> lilteth up his voice you will hear the eagle WBKW /ire the people filendv. d'lie Louisville Democrat says it is for the people every where in this country to determine whether the attempt of the Radical leaders in Congress to create an alarm and excite sectional passions and prejudices sltall succeed. It rests with the people to say whether they will thus be abused and allow business and polites to he deranged by dark gamesters. Phis is sue is made, and is making headway in the Federal Senate. There it is haughti ly .;]>(] boldly pretended that the l)emo <• ratio legislation to repeal the obnoxious laws in dispute ifi a convert attempt to tamper with the integrity of Union. A chaige more false or base was never form ulated in the councils of any great gov ernment; and yet the country is expected to take it for reality and become alarmed oml agitated. It is done for effect to, produce alarm and create a icignof cx i in v age nee and despot ic power. Ki Jjt-tei tl a< haM oPall our people, are agreed that the laws the Democrats seek to repeal are unwholesome, danger ,nis and disgraceful to an enlightened free country, and yet the exerciseofthe legit imate power of Congress for the purpose of wiping them out is declared by Radi cal leaders to be “revolutionary,” and they threaten that Hayes shall exercise the veto [ ower against the appropriation bills to defeat the reformation sought. This, of course, will leave the army, the legislative and executive departments without money after June 30, 1870. The dead-lock is sure to come and the people must arouse themselves at once to the serious pass to wdiich Federal affairs are drifting. Congress is sure to pass the hills with the repealing measures attached and the issue rests with the pow er of extreme Radical leaders to coerce Hayes +o an unwarrantable veto of bilb. against whichhio constitutional objection can be urged. Certainly Congress must pass appro priation bills in such form as it deems best for the public welfare. Having done this if the veto power is used to defeat the measures, and supplies of money for the departments are thus cut off, the respon sibility must rest with the party whose executive assumes to exercise the veto for such a purpose. Why all this strife? Why is it that a law permitting the use ot tioojs at the polls cannot be repealed by Congress without incurring a veto that will de prive the army of supplies? What party is c.csj crate enough to stand by that law at such an arbitrary exeicise of the veto power? Tie weaning and significance is just this. Without troops at the polls and su| ervisers and marshals by the thousands, the Radical party caunotcar rv the Presidential election, and therefore it threatens the use of the veto to keep its hold upon these adjuncts of tyranny and despotism. FifsEmig- Partv. Mr. Editor: — l received an invita tion from some of the good people of Wildwood to attend a fishing party at Wildwood mill on the first Saturday in in May, but between you and me, as 1 don’t want to sav it publicly, Mr. Edi tor, 1 don’t believe there was much fish ing done but fishing of men, and there was not much there in the line of genus licmo, but a few minnows. 1 found mvsuilf an tbo > ci>iu> of tuition honictimc in the afternoon. As 1 neared the crowd 1 beard something which sounded like the musical tones of a cat, but on draw ing nearer, I found that it nrocoeded from an old cracked violin, played by a would-beWilhemj or a Eememyi. Look ing around for some signs of the fishing, I saw only three or four poles leaning against the trees reminding one of “Her bert Rocket” calmly and quietly looking about them, or Mark Twain's horse “leaning up against something to think.” Just as I had finished looking around I heard some one close by me say “what does that fiddle mean ?” the answer was “it means they are going to tear up the ground and make it over, pretty soon.” I wondered what peculiar geological pro cess they we\e going to try to bring to bear on that particular spot of ground to make it over, and was just about to ask when I remembered the words of Paul, “let the women keep silence, all,” so I thought i would keep mv mouth shut and eyes-open, but I had not long to try this most difficult thing for a wo man to do, i. (V ‘weep my mouth,” for soon came in gutSral rones “couples for another sett,” and Mr. Editor, who do you guess made up the “sett” for the and ii.ee ? why, four Methodists, one Bap tist, three Publicans, and the class leader playe 1 the fiddle. 1 could not see much of the dancers for the nebular volume of dust which arose fr mi the ground, i did feel rather soil} for one young man who was not fortunate enough to pro cure a partner, and hugged a tree, dan cing just as hard aw In* cor'd, and lie really seemed to enh y if. ] began to feel just as i imagine' 1 would had ! stolen n sheep and been caught at it, so 1 respectfully took “French leave,” thinking of the little boy’s speech about (he “lour Methodists, eight ‘lkiptistess’ and five Presbyterians who all said they would take sugar in ‘theTu.’” Htareyk. 12ter Eead.

Tho Mysteries of Carboiine as a Restora tive. The composition of tlie human hair has never been accurately or satisfactorily de termined. Chemical analysis has revealed its main constituents, but, as it varies es sentially in different persons, and in tho same person at different ayes, it is impossi ble to determine with any accuracy exactly what quality is lacking where a person be comes prematurely gray, or what prepara tion is best suited to restore the natural growth and vigor where the hair falls out so as to produce baldness. Hence it is that all artificial preparations have failed, in some essentials at least, to meet the re quirements of a perfect hair restorative. There are a number of excellent dressings and washings, and scores of preparations that are either indifferent or positively in jurious, and the great multiplicity of these furnishes an argument in support of the fact that there is something lacking in them all. The new article, Carboiine, con tains all the qualities essential to a perfect hair restorative, both as regards natural color and a full, luxuriant growth. jhe basis of Carboiine is petroleum, and in that wonderful article, produced in Na ture’s own laboratory, are properties which the chemist’s art lias not yet been able to combine, ami which act like magic upon the scalp, the follicles, and the various ele ments of which the hair is composed. Its use as a hair-dressing is the greatest < •" modern discoveries, and there is no long r any reason why the prematurely gray and the bald should not, at a trifling ex pense, eeure to then’ elves that most de sirable ml a ! tractive of all personal adorn ments, a. luxuriant and healthy growth of hair.
