The present owners of the Ban ~Er did not buy the old acconnts due the paper at time of purchase, All accounts due the BANNER, either on subseription or advertising, up to March Ist, 1889, are to be paid to M.

The present own ers have nothing to do with the collection of anything back of March Ist, 1889, and no one is au thorized to collect any subscription to the Baxyer beyond March Ist, 1889, except the present manage ment. He who praises a good work helps it. i DeKalb county had a colt show Tuesday. : A dead negro was found in a well near Milledgeville Monday. Angusta had a rainfall of over three inches in one hour the other day. : The City Court of Carrollton has been abolished, and now a move is on foot to abolish her public schools. It is estimated that the taxable property of Georgia this year will be about $13,000,0G0 more than last year, A philospher who has been dweke to the ways of the world says: ‘““Giveme mors taffy while I am with yonand less epifephy when I am goune.” A Calafornia gir! has sued an admirer for SISOO for kissing her. Most certainly kissing will hereaf ter be regarded as an expensive Juxury in the @olden State. The principal business portion of Spokane, Washingion, a city of about 26,000 population, was burned Monday. The loss is es timated at abount §15,000,000. Ten yeurs ago a man near Lex ington, Ky., had twenty-four sheep bitten by dogs. Bince that time he has poisoned and shot over 300 canines and is still en gaged in the glorious work. Chatham county is steadily growing richer, The inerease of her taxahle property for the pres ent year is nearly $1,500,000. In 1884 her taxable property was not qnite $20,500,000, Now i lis nearly $27,000,0600, Senator Allgood has introduced a bill making it a misdemeanor for a man to be fonnd drunk away from home. Wonder what the good wives of this conntry wil think of this bill? We guspect they doubtless think it should be a misdemeanor for them to be drunk at home. It is probable that a good many of the speeches on the Western and Atlantic lease and betterinent questions will not be intended so much to enlighten the legislature as to notify the constituents of the speech-makers that their repre sentatives are on deck and attend ing to their duties.—Savannah MW e " THE TRUTH OF IT, Pp———— We notice that in some sections of the country there are views expressed by some alliance organizations, that wher aver a merchant handles jute bagging, he shonld be boyeotted; and the farmer ‘who uses it should be ostracised. Now ‘this is carrying things a little too far, and the expression of such views only tends to eripple the alliance organization, This is a free country, and a merchant has the right to handle any legitimate article he ¢hooses to, the ginner has the right to wrap the cotton in whatever ar. ticle his eustomer may desire, and an in dividual hes the right to purchase and use any legitimate article he may desire, We hope the farmers may all use cotton bagging, but an attempt to boycot a merchant for handling jute, or to ostra c¢ise an individual for using it, is a direct thrust at the fundamental principles of our government. Freedom of thought, and freedom of legitimate action, must be accorded every individual, f The above editorial appeared in the Baxxer week before last, to which the editor of the Messenger seriously objected. He does not think that such ideas of right and justice equally to all should be. expressed. We would not notice his attempted reply to the above paragraph but for the fact that he studionsly endeavors to misrepre sent us, and to add injury to insult, makes false assertions.— He begins his article thus: ¢lt is natural for those who are not‘ interested in the Farmers’ Alli ance to object to such moves as they think are likely to provei detrimental to the interest of -a L | few who would rejoice to zee the} Alliance sink into cblivion.’! It will be seen from this first sen tence that he asserts that we are opposed to the Farmers’ Alliance and are running the BAnxer in the interest of a few, which is utterly false. His article all the way through is filled up with just such misrepresentations. We have time and again through these columns, and otherwise, stated that we favored the alli ance, and properly conducted we believed -it capable of accom plishing great good. Nor have we ever published one word det rimental to the alliance cause.— its purposes are grand and good, but the organization might be badly man aged—ijust by following the advice of a few cranks—and run thus it wounld do more harm than good. Further along in his article he says we feign friendship for the alliance for the sake of their money. we have never yet sacrificed principle for the sake of money or patronage, and God forbid that we shounld ever sink so low. we defy him to go into our past record, or in any other manner, sustain his false: accusations. we make no charges against the said editor, except that he knowingly endeav ors to misrepresent us, thus hoping to secure the withdrawal of patronage from us in order to inerease his own business, But there are too many sensible men in this country for the success of such un becoming methods. we wish the alliance great success. It deserves it. But the organization should beware of the howl of the crank. It needs sensible and broad-minded men to do the work that is before it. what the favmers want is equal rights and equal protection with all other indus tries, and the proper steps will get these rights. That is our position, “equal rights to all classes and individnals,” and whether we stand or fall, we shall ‘uphold this grand prineiple. “Equal ‘rights to all; special favors to none,” WHAT ON EARTH Is the reason people will not, can not, or do not see any difference in cheap nostrums put up by Cheap John houses or irresponsi ble parties at enormouns profits, rather than take a medicine of worldwide reputation and one that is giving universal satisfac tion at equal price? No medicine in the world is giving such un paralleled satisfaction for purify ing the blood as Beggs’ Blood Purifier & Blood Maker, and every bottle that does not do its work will cogt you nothing.

Bremen, Ga., August 8, 1889. our seribe has been to Mt. Zion Semfinary to meeting. They are on tiptoe. We had a good meet ing. © Two withdrew from the church, and the pastor said the door was open for others to go out if they did not intend to live right. They are fixing to build a fine new church. Their boarding hall is about done. I never saw finer crops. Some of the Mount Zion folks are coming up to Bremen next Sunday to help in our meeting. Bremen, according to some, is dead, and they want the coroner. G. W. Hood was elected mayor, and he is called blind tiger slayer. If he finds it, he’ll be sure to hit it. You may set that down, and don’t forget it. Which way we are going its hard to tell. Some, I fear, is bound for hell. Oh! if all would try to be forgiven, Bre men might become a little heaven. C. W.

Blood Poison Is very liable to follow contact of the hands or face with what is known as poison ivy, especially in hot weather or if the body is perspiring freely. The trouble may subside for a time, only to appear in aggravated form when opportunity offers. The great purifying powers of Hood’s Bar saparilla thoroughly eradicate every trace of poison from the blood, as the cures it has accom plished conclusively show. It al go eures scrofula, salt rheum and all other affections arising from impure or poisoned blood, | R BT If you have made up your mind to buy Hood’s Sarsaparilla do not be induced to take any other, Hood’s Sarsaparilla Is a peculiar medicine, possessing, by virtue of its peculiar combination, proportion, and preparation, curative power superior to any other article. A Boston lady who knew what she wanted, and whose example is worthy lmitation, tells her experienco below: RN RSO ©Tn one store where I went to buy Hood’s Barsaparilla the clerk tried to induce me buy their own instead of Hood’s; he told me their’s would last longer; that I might take it on ten days’ trial; that if I did not like it I need not pay anything, etc. But he could not prevail on me to change, I told him I knew what Hood’s Sarsaparilla was. Ihad taken it, was satisfied with it, and did not want any other Hood’s RN RN T TR When I began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla I was feeling real miserable, suffering a great deal with dyspepsia, and so weak that at times I could hardly stand. Ilooked, and had for some time, like a person in cons sumption. Hood’s Sarsaparilla did me so much good that I wonder at myself sometimes, and my friends frequently speak of it.”” MRS, Erva A.

A Dbolt of lightning out near Anutioch church sped on a dreadful mission last Tuesday. Two boys, one a son of Mr. Joseph Smith and the other a son of Mr. Dent Weav er, aged about 12 and § years re spectively, were returning to the house of Mr. Smith {rom the wa termelon patch. They were ac companied by two small children, and ‘jsp:dd enly a bolt of electricity struck Smith, killing him instani ly, and knocking Weaver down. The children raised the alarm and the family hurried to the scene of the tragedy to find the above re sults. The Weaver boy was un conscious for several hours, but it is thought will recover. He was Jburnt on one arm and otherwise ‘injured.—Cedartown Standard. The Verdict Unanimous. W. D. Sult, Druggist, Bippus* Ind., testifies: ¢l can recom-. mend Electric Bitters as the very best remedy. Every bottle sold has given relief in every case.— One man took six bottles, and was cured of Rheunmatism of 10 years’ standing.”’ Abraham = Hare, druggist, Bellville, Ohio, affirms: “The best selling medicine I have ever handled in my 20 years' ex perience, is Electric Bitters,”’— Thousands of others have added their testimony, so that the ver dict is unanimous that Eleectric © Bifters do cure all diseases 0f the Liver, Kidneys or Blood. Only a half dollar a bottle at Summer ville & Co’s. Drugstore. : John Huffman, of Tennessee was murdered Monday by an un known party. While drinking recently he boasted of possessing a halts bushel of half doilars, which is thought to be the cause of his death. Gus, A. Dusows, a well known resident of St. Lounis, says: I have used several bottles of Prick ly As<h Bitters for biliousness and malarial troubles, so prevalent in this climate, and heartily recom mend it to ail afflicted in a like manner. It is the best remedy 1 ever used.” : 880, s or vou o LEGFOUR BACK ACHES Or you au-eit “wom‘mq, éegll;liy goom for nothit;g;xi,f; RAT athen, M sA S LeS TR RRS R R
