Hr. I. O. Armstrong died at his home
in Atlanta the 22nd inst.
And Rome is to have a base ball club.
We hope it is not catching,
A Southwest Georgia citizen, who snb
sesibed for several newspapers to the ex¬
clusion of his homo paper, has finally
landed in the penitentiary.
“News somewhat scarso,” remaks an
exchange in about its third or fourth !o
cal, then goes on with three long columns
of closely set matter which is intended
for news.
Ex-Gov. Charles Foster, of Ohio, has
been appointed as Secretary Windom’s
successor. It is said that Harrison lias
strengthened himself by the appoint¬
ment of Foster. Well, lie needs to be
strengthened.
Editor Chapman, late of the Calhoun
Times, lias been turning a cute eye in
the direction of Dalton; but after all may
become a Cattle King of the great South¬
west.—Argus.
A Cattle King! Whoop pee! Where did
the editor get his chinks?
What does a man lo3e by supporting
his homo paper? What helps to build up
your town and county more than your
newspaper? Every citizen should be in
terested in the success of his home pa¬
per.
There is not half the squabble between
Alliance men as some of our exchanges
would have the people believe. The
fight “that’s on” is nothing more than
the rattling of the bells of the black
sheep with the subsidized press doing
most of the bell cord pulling.
When yon hear a man say lie is anxious
for his town, county or county papei to
prosper, and is not willing to put his
hand in his pocket to help it, you may
put him down as big a liar as tbc poor
polluted sinner who stands in the congre¬
gation and sings, “I know Jesus
me.”—Adel, Ga., News.
If the farmers of Georgia want the
letins isssued from the experiment
tion, giving the details of modes of
vation, seeds used, how manured,
final results, they must send a written
quest to Diiector R. J. Redding, Experi¬
ment Station, Spaulding county, Ga.
law provides that they shall be sent free
to all “persons actually engaged in farm¬
ing who make request for tho same.”
A little while ago the men were all
ing the giriB to learn some
profession or industry; aud now the girls
are crowding them out of diy goods
stores, counting rooms, telephone offices,
etc., so fast that they have taken alarm,
and from sheer jealousy, are going round
with the pretended apprehension that we
are to have a nation of “bello girls.”—
Fort Valley Enterprise.
Tlie women up this way are not only
crowding the men in the above named
professions, but are filling tlio pulpit,con
traryto the teachings of God’s word.They
may light the devil with much success in
this line, but they will find it a tough
job should they over tackle the printer’s
devil, so much so we think if they should
undertake it, they would soon give it up,
and leave, at least, the management
newspapers to men. We hope to hold the
fort, but they are a mighty winning
of people, and tbe Lord knows we love
'em.
AVE CALL FOE THE PROOF.
Tlio Tallapoosa Journal in speaking of
tho C., E. & ('. H. R. says: ‘‘FromChat¬
tanooga to Cedartown the road does a
good business, but the fifty miles south
from that point to Carrollton is not
thought to be earning enough to pay
one-half the cost of maintaining it.”
This is saying but little for Dugdown,
Felton, Buchanan, Kramer and Haralson
county generally, as this road runs
through the vory heart of our county.
To give credit to the Journal’s state¬
ment one would conclude that Haralson
county is a howling wilderness leading
into a quagmire of dense immensity.
IIow docs that sound to Carrollton, Ero,
Fitts? If the road does not earn half the
cost of maintaining it, wherein does the
Journal think the road would add more
than one-half of its present business by
going to Tallapoosa? The Journal says
tliat“it is not thought,” which we believe
is correct, for we have an idea that, (out¬
side of Tallapoosa,) no such thought ever
entered the breast of any thinking man.
If Tallapoosa wants a branch road, let
her co-operate with Buchanan and build
it from this place. It’s natural and prop¬
er that the Journal should work to the in¬
terest of Tallapoosa, but what has Buch¬
anan and Haralson county done to cause
her to talk in any such manner as this?
We should work in a brotherly mannen
for are we not all of Haralson county?
Buchanan’s croakers have all fled or
gone to work which is right. We listen
for Rome of our exchanges, about like
Jack Powell to say, “go to work.”
Editor Nix, of the Buchanan Banner
Messkngr, came out with his paper a
few days late last week. It was not his
fault, however, but that of the express
company in not getting his bundle of pa¬
per from Atlanta on timo. But tlie pub-
1Sc lost nothing, by this delay, as the Mes
SENGR wag—as bright as a new dollar
when,come.—Brunswick Times.
Printer’s Ink gives this advice to its
patrons: “When you want to know
about any business house outside of the
large cities, write to the local newspa¬
per. If the firm is any account you will
find its advertisement in the home pa¬
per. A man to be popular abroad must
be respected at home. And a man who
does not advertise his business among
his neighbors ought not to receive much
attention anywhere.”
The farmers know exactly what they
want. Their demands are well known to
everybody. The politicians are busy try¬
ing to side track them on questions not
germain in this issue. If» the farmers
keep their faces set in the right direction,
always taking their cue from
the Ocala demands, the politicians will
have a happy timo fooling them. They
realize they have been fooled, and
since discussion lias opened their ..eyes, it
makes them less susceptible to what
they say.—Plow Boy.
Of all questions for the Democrats and
especially tho farmers, that of a reduction
of the tariff is the greatest. The ques¬
tion of free coinage and others aro but
side issues.—Carroll County Times.
Why is tbe reduction of the tariff of so
much more importance to the farmers
than to other classes? Of courso tlio
farmers are iu favor of a reduction of the
tariff, but they are no less in favor of free
and unlimited coinage of silver, and Mr.
Cleveland, in all his frankness, will never
be able to show the farmers that tbe ques¬
tion of free coinage of silver is a mere
side issue. It will be the broadest plauk
to their eyes in the next democratic plat
form, Tne farmers throughout this
whole nation are uni tod on this question.
It’s a side issue with the gold bugs
only. Give us free and unlimited coinage
of silver. It is the only means by which
to divert the control of our currency now
vested in national banks, which are to be
continued for tlie next twenty years to
come.
It is said that Gov. Gordon will ride the
Alliance goat March (5th,
“We need shade triers,” remarks an ex¬
change. We need sun shine.
The ordinary of Chatham county has
sent in his resignation to the governor.
Carrollton is booming. Yesterday’s
Times states that a dying Jenny will be
started up there today.
Rome resembles hell,because hei streets
are paved with good intentions.—Trib
uue-of-llome.
When did yon get back, Bro. Branham?
If we would enjoy the sunshine we
must pass through tho shadows. The
clear, balmy springtime will be the more
welcome, having had the continued vain.
—Tallapoosa Journal.
But how are wo to enjoy the shadows?
Stay out all day and go home and make
shadows before a glowing lire while dry¬
ing oui clothe*? But let us be cheerful,
as the Journal.
The attempts of the Tribune-of-Rome
to down Livingston will result just about
like they did in trying to down Congress¬
man-elect Everett. The Allianccmen of
the Seventh Congrssioual district of Geor¬
gia put about as much faith in what the
Tribune-of-Rome lias to say as they do in
planting corn in the moon. What the
Tribune-of-Rome has to say about any Al
lianccman has the same effect that pour¬
ing oil on fire has.
Many years practice has given C. A.
Snow & Co., Solicitors of Patents at
ftiashington, I). C., unsurpassed succoss
inobtaing patents for all classes of inven¬
tion. They make a specialty of rejected
cases, and have secured allowance of
many patents that bad been previously
rejected. Their advertisement in anoth¬
er column, will be of interest to invent¬
ors, patentees, manufacturers and all
who have to do with patents.
David Ilume, in his Essay on money,
says: It is certain that since the discov¬
ery of the mines in America industry has
increased in all the nations of Europe.
* * We find that in eyery ^kingdom into
which money begins to How in greater
abundance 1 than formerly, everything
takes a new face; labor and industry gain
life; tlio merchant becomes more enter¬
prising, the manufacturer more diligent
and skillful, and even the farmer follows
his plow with greater alacrity and atten¬
tion. * * * It is of no manner of conse¬
quence with regard to the domestic hap¬
piness of a state whether money be in a
greater or less quantity. The good policy
| of the magistrate consists only in keep
ling it, if possible, still increasing; be¬
cause by that means he keeps alive a
spirit of industry in the nation and in¬
creases tho stock of labor, in which con¬
sists all real power and riches. A na¬
tion whose money decreases is actually
at that time weaker and more miserable
than another nation which possesses no
more money, but is on the increasing
hand.
Cancer.
To B B B (Botanic Blood Balm) has
been given the credit of curing that ter¬
rible symptom of hereditary blood poison,
called cancer.
Allen Grant Sparta, Ga., writes: “A
painful sore came on my lip which was
pronounced epithelial cancer by promi¬
nent physicians. I also had much pain
and great weakness in the back. Eight
bottles of B. B. B. healed the sore, gave
roe strength and made mo well.”
G. F. Kellar, Wrigtsvillo, Ga., writes:
B B B is curing on ulcor on my nose said
by all to be a cancer.”
James A. Greer, Athens, Ga., writes:
“For ten years I have been a sufferor
from a cancer on my face, which dis¬
charged offensive matter. I gave B B B
a trial. The discharge gradually
ed and the cancer grew less u_.til now
there is nothing left except a scar.”
