Brice has been elected Chairman of the National Democratic Committee. Pennsylvania voted against the prohibition amendment on Tuesday by about 200,000 majority. It is a settled fact that the farm ers of Georgia as a rule, will not use jute bagging this fall. The corner stone of the new Court house.at Cedartown was laid yester day. The occasion was a very in teresting one. Up to date Georgia has paid out in pensions to her Confederate soldiers $147,000. The number re ceiving this sum is 2,856, and is nearly 500 greater than last year. The Greensboro Home Journal makes a strong appeal to the people of Georgia for the erection ofs a suitable monument to Gov. A. H. | Stephens. It should be done by all means. } Hon S. E. Field, Senator from. the 43d district, comprising Whit field, Murray and Gordon counties, was shot and killed last week by Dennis Taylor, a boy whom he had raised. The growing wheat crop, the agricultural department informs the public, is likely to be the largest ever known in the United States; larger than that of 1884, which yielded 513,000,000 bushels, and is the biggest on record. The sheriffs from all over the state are to hold a convention in Atlanta on the 10th of July. The purpose of the meeting is to per fect an organization and devise plans for the eco-operation of sheriffs in bringing criminals to justice. Such an organization will be of great benefit to the public. Mr. J. R. Sewell, of Erastus, Georgia, tells of a cure for chicken cholera: ‘‘Boil corn in good wood ashes, or strong lye, until the husk can be rubbed off, and then feed to the chickens. If they are not able to eat, open their mouths and force a few grains down. Confine the chickens, and let them have no water. It will cure nineteen out of ;{wcnty." ' ; , HELP THE FARMERS. Ever since we have had charge of the BannNer we have mamtained ‘that there should exist a friendly relation between the farmer and the merchant. All cannot be mer chants, nor can all be farmers. If it could be thus, it would only make matters worse. We need va ried industries, and harmony be tween these varied occupations will do much toward the prosperity and advancement of our country. If harmony does not exist, then our progress will surely be retarded. On this line the Savannah Morning News gives the following timely advice: “The cotton factors and other merchants who keep bagging in stock, should help the farmers in their fight with the jute bagging combination. The farmers are de termined to defeat the combination, and the only way they can do so is to use cotton bagging instead of jute bagging. The merchants can aid them very greatly by keeping on hand a stock of cotton bagging. If the mer chants generally do not do this they will make it difficult for the farmers to get cotton bagging at the lowest possible prices and in quantities sufficient to meet their:‘ wants. ‘ As long as there is a demand for cotton bagging, and the indications} are that there will be a large de mand for it this season, there is no legitimate reason why the merchants should not carry a stock ofit. They can make just as great a profit on cotton bagging as on jute bagging, ‘ and there is no danger that they will be left with astock of it on their hands. The farmers quite generally in this state have made up their minds to use cotton bagging this season, even if they have to pay a little more for it than for jute bag ging. At least that is the general impression. There is a probability that the cotton exchanges in Europe will so adjust the rules regulating tare that there will be no advantage in that respect in using jute bag ging. ' The farmers and merchantsl should act in harmony. It is to their interest to do so. They are to a certain extent dependent upon each other, and they should give each other. all the help they can.” Merit Wins, We desire to say to our citizens, that for years we have been selling Dr. King's New Discovery for Con sumption, Dr. King's New Life Pills, Bucklen’s Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters, and have never handled remedies that sell as well, or that have given such universal satisfaction. We do not hesitate to guarantee them every time, and we stand ready to refund the pur chase price, if satisfactory results do mnot follow their use. These remedies have won their great pop ularity purely on their merits. Summerville & Co. Druggists. Woolfolk’s chances of acquittal are not at all bright. The evi dence given by Jailor Birdsong, of Macon, the other day, that he heard Woolfolk pray to be forgiven for murdering his father, *‘the omly thing he regretted,” was very damaging to the prisoner’s cause; the prayer being a virtual admis sion of guilt. - Many people think that the word “‘Bitters’’ can be used only in con nection with an intoxicating bever age. This is a mistake, as the best remedy for all diseases of the blood, liver, kidneys, etc., is Prickly Ash Bitters. It is purely a medicine and every article used in its manu facture is of vegetable origin of known curative qualities. 6-21. B.l\ 1 ' A Big Drawing! Has Never Been Equaled!

We understand that the West Point Mills have received so far this season, orders for 700,000 yards of cotton bagging, and the orders are still coming in every day. The Georgia farmers aré in earnest in the fight on the jute trust, and they are systematically placing their orders for home made bagging so that there will be no hitch and all will be supplied. The merchants and farmers are working together on this line, and there can be no such thing as failure this time.—LaGrange Graphic. WHAT ON EARTH Is the reason people will not, can not, ar do not see any difference in cheap nostrums put up by Cheap John houses or irresponsible parties at enormous profits, rather'than take a medicineof worldwide rep utation and one that is giving uni versal satisfaction at equal price? No medicine in the world is giving such unparalleled satisfaction for purifying the blood as Beggs’ Blood Purifier & Blood Maker, and every ‘bottle that doesmot do its work will cost you nothing.

Epiror Banygr: On Wednesday 12th inst., while spending a few days at the residence of J. D. Ra burn, in Haralson county, I lost a long leather money pocket-book, containing Eighty Dollars in money and five notes, described as follows: One note agamst W, A. Coleman for the sum of $200.00; one mnote agamst Bob Rerd for $74.75; one note agamnst Mr. Mor gan for $57.50; one note agamst Ault & Goldm for $83.35; and one i note agamst Billy Whisenhunt, with some credits. All parties who may come m contact with the above notes are hereby notified not to trade for them, and I will give a liberal reward for the return of sard pocket-pook and contents to me, Yours Truly, : W, A. CoLEMAN, iAa Rsl P %dflfluhw KEEP YOUR COTTON SEED. THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE CONVENTION . PASSES SENSIBLE RESOLUTIONS. In the meeting of the National ;Alliance, which was held in Raleigh, N. C., recently the matter of cotton seed was thoroughly dis cussed. The evils resulting from the wholesale running off of seed from the farms was strongly brought out and the following resolutions in accord with the discussion were adopted: Ist. That we deem it injurous to the prosperity of cofton farmers to sell their cotton seed, unless it be at such prices as will be at all times equal if not greater than, what has been demonstrated and proved to be their real agricultural value as fertilizers. 2d. That we believe it should be always within the province of the producer to place the price up on such products as are produced by the labors of himself, and that the allowing of purchasers totally unconnected with the farm to further dictate the prices of farm products, as heretofore been allowed if not sanctioned, is a surrendering of a right and privilege which has been proven injurious and depress ing in prices, in so far as the sale of cotton seed is concerned, and has heretofore Ibeen conducive to the building up of what has been known as a cotton seed oil monopoly. In order then, to counteract the evils alluded to, we hereby most re spectfully recommend that the mem bers of our order will take such steps in every State as will secure such prices as will fully reimburse them, and that money so acquired shall be expended in purchasing fertili zers which tend to the building up of their soils and putting it in the highest state of agricultural fer tility. : ' Bd. We would recommend that all members of our order fix the price of their cotton seed fer. the present crop at not less than twen ty cents a bushel, and if such prices cannot be obtained that they refuse to sell, and that the seed be re turned to the land as a fertilizer. And we further recommand that the president of each State Alliance, State Agricultural Wheel, and Farmers State Union be requested to appoint a committee of three whose duty it shall be to gather and to disseminate such information bearing upon this matter as they shall deem of interest and impor tance to the order. Fluent writers may deceive the ignorant by lying theories, but the intelligent man demands assurance that a theory is true. Nothing is so convincing to an intelligent reader as the plain and simple words of those grateful ones who were sick but have been made well by using B. B. 8., (Botanic Blood Balm), found printed in our paper, from time to time or contained in the illustrated ‘“Book of Wonders,’’ sent free to any address by the Blood Balm Co., of Atlanta, Ca. Send for it. 6-21. The Hamilton Journal mentions the fact that in 1816 it took one bushel of corn to buy one pound of nails, and that now one bushel of corn will buy 20 pounds of nails. It then required the price of one ‘bushel of wheat to buy one yard of calico, and now one bushel of wheat will buy 20 yards of calico. Those who earn little can live at small cost with present prices, and times are not s 6 hard as some would think they are.
