Everybody of course expects the B/ix x k n-fvlEssEifu eh to talk up for Buchanan and Haralson county. Then why don’t everybody talk up for the Banner-Mks SENGKK? Both north and south bound passenger trains were yory late Saturday. The northbound, which is due hare at 1:19, was some where near midnight passing this place. Mr. IV. A.

Before sending your legal ads around, you will please place fees foi advertising with the slim iff. Your attorney can count the words and tell you what the advertising fee amounts to. Shell A Yancy have closed out f.?:«jr stable business at Bremen. Mr. Shell says tell you he has some good horses for sale for cash or good notes. Those wish¬ ing to purchase would do well to see him before 'buying elsewhere. Cols. M. J. Head and Brice Edwards took in Savannah and surrounding cm»i tvy last- we. k. They report having n nice time. We would like to have them tell the people through the Baxnkh-Mkssen* gi:h of their visit to this noted city.

Vt*ill couldn’t do better than to capture one those pi etty girls at Waco, and one of them might do pretty well to capture Will. Frequently we hear complaints of the large number of medicine advertisements found in this paper. To be honest, the advertisers of medicines nearly always settle thelr bills promptly and many sub¬ scribe! s do not. Hence we are compelled to run a department of “tired feeling” literature to try to make expenses.—Chat¬ tooga News. Wo respectfully call tbe attention of 01*1 Fanner to an article in the National Econ¬ omist of February 7th, under heading, “Is Political Action Without Party Line Best?” front the pen of one Mr, Macey, of Old Farmer’s own State. Mr. Macey argues that tlio quickest and surest plan of bringing about the great reforms now proposed by the Alliance, is to elect men to Congress through the party that predominates, who will work for these reforms. Would it not he in violation of the very lirst declaration of intentions of the Farmers’ Alliance to form a new or third party, which says we are to labor for the education of the agri¬ cultural classes in the science of econom¬ ical government, in a strictly non-partisan spirit? It seems to us that to form anew party, requiring all Allianeeroen to join it, would l>e partisan in the extreme. Let the people say what kind of laws they want and elect men to office who will pass Such laws, as they did in Kansas, irre¬ spective of the old party that had drug them into ruin, ora third party either.

On Saturday last when Judge Janes asked if there was any other business to be attended to, preparatory to adjourning the court, Price Edwards, Esq., arose and stated to the court that he desired to re¬ quest the bar and others having business before the court to remain in the court room after court adjourned. The court having ad journed, Judge W. C, Adamson was called to the chair and Price Edwards was requested to act as secretary of the meeting. Whereupon the following preamble aud resolutions were introduced, and after appropriate remarks by W. F. Brown, J. M. McBride, S. L. Craven, the chair¬ man, and others, were unanimously adopt ed: IVbereas, The January term of Haral¬ son Superior Court just adjourned was the first court held in the Tallapoosa Ju¬ dicial Circuit since its organization, and: Whereas, The business of tlie court as arranged and set for trial hy his Honor Judge C. G. Janes has been by him dis¬ patched in an eminently satisfactory man¬ ner, therefore be it R-solved 1st, That we,, the attorneys and others having ImsineRs before the court, hereby tender to iiis Honor Judge C. G. Janes our unqualified of his administration of affaire of the court as shown by the able arrangement and impartial dispatch of the same at the present term. Resolved 2d, That we congratulate the people of the new circuit on the fact that tlio office of Solicitor-General is held by Hon. A. Richardson, an officer who has fully demonstrated that he is equal to any emergency that the responsible duties of the office may require of him. The above was intended for hist week. —[Ed. X HI BEK 4 . A Letbr From Albertvllle, Alabama. * I)t'\i: Bfto. Nix:—Being requested of my many friends to write to them. I will hy your permission, write to them all at on'ec through the Messenger. We landed, at our present home on the first day of Jan. Wo shipped our bed ding and wearing cloths hy freight, and it was two weeks before we got them home. During this time we kept house on the floor, so to speak. Oui neighbors loned usa few bed cloths, and I bought some bods teds, a stove and some dishes, but we eat for two weeks without knives and forks, waiting for ours to come through. We made out very well except at sleeping time, ahd we would, have done very well then had it not been for the extreme nearness of the bed slats. They made impressions that will long he remember¬ ed. If you doubt it when yon see Emmet Mathews just get him to raise bis sldrt and show you the impressions across his sides and yon will bo convinced. Finally our things came :every thing safe and sound, just as they were packed when wc left home, and we are now doing ver ry well housekeeping, except for lack of room. The house we live in is very small, which I have rented until I can build one on my own laud. I will try to answer some questions that i know would bo asked. First: Are we satisfied? This question might be answered affirmatively, or neg¬ atively. Of course being among stran¬ gers and away from old friends, one will feel lonesome, which might be called dis¬ satisfaction. In fact. Georgia will always seem like home, and to every Georgian it seems to be the best state in the union. But so far us other things are concerned we are well pleased so far. How is watei ? Water is plentiful here now Down every little hollow flows a rippling stream and in every depression there is a beautiful lake. In this connec¬ tion might mention the frogs. Surely if old Pharoah had been on Sand mountain and these frogs had got in his bed. bread, trays, etc., lie would have said^p tiro Is¬ realite*, up and be gone. S - let them wilt weigh r t -< as good' as the water in Georgia or any where else. The branches and some of the creeks dry up in summer but wells some springs afford plenty of water the year round. Wo have bad some little trouble about drinking water since we have been here. I will tell you, but you must not tell Em met Mathews about it for be drank with us tire greater part of two weeks. Onv oldest boy lias a fashion of smelling c” everything be comes across. One day he decided that he would go out and smell of tlie well, and after giving a snuff or two he decided that there was something wrong. He looked down and decided that iie could see something. I went and looked but was not fully satisfied. So I had the looking glass brought and turned the rays of the sun down upon the supposed object, and there was no longer any supposition about it. There it was sure enough; a half grown cat floating peacefully on the surface with every leg outstretched and the few remaining hairs standing every fellow to himself. It is unnecessary to toll what else happened. The next job was to get it out. When every one but myself got off from home f got a long pole and tied a basket to it and reached down and dipped it out, and carried it at pole's length down behind the garden and tossed it over the fence, and then, iorKio! Well, I will write more soon and tell s<,,1,e t!iiiig oi more importance about the country, R. N. Moody, The trial of Mrs. .McKee, who is charged vvitbUie poisoning of Mrs. Wimpeo, will come off at Rome the first Monday in March. Judge Bra nlifur is her lawyer. BRICK JFOll SALE. Parties wishing to purchase good 1 brick would do well to call on me. J. Holcombe, Jh.
