It seems that Carrollton is given over
to blind tigers. What’s tho matter, Bio.
Fitts?
When the Republicans nominate Mr.
Harrison on a platform demanding the
■passage of the iniquitous Force bill,
are beat. Let them do it.
Votcs must be cheap in Kentucky. The
Atlanta Journal says: “All they have to
•do in Kentucky is just to drop a nickle
in the slot and pull out a Democratic ma¬
jority.”
How about your public schools, Car¬
rollton? If you don’t want them we only
wish it was possible to move them to
Buchanan. Give us more public schools
and better public schools. Why not?
“Why should a man suicide?” asks an
exchange. We give it up, unless, per¬
haps, he lias been trying to run a daily
newspaper on tlie credit system in a week¬
ly newspaper town—Alabany News and
Advertiser.
The third party lias gone a-glimmering
in this empire State. For this let the peo¬
ple be thankful.—Atlanta Journal.
Yes; the third party in tlie Journal’s
own district, despite the support or sanc¬
tion of the Journal itself, was knocked
higher than a kite, as it were, by the
wool hat boys way last fall. For this,
too, let all be thankful.
Every farmer in Georgia ought to re¬
ceive the Bulletins of the Georgia Exper¬
iment Station. They will be sent to every
person actually engaged in farming on re¬
quest. Drop a postal card to The Experi
Experiment, La., and le
quest that the Bulletins be regulaily sent
you. They are free to all actually en
gaged in agriculture, and every agricul¬
turist should receive them.
How many “third parties” are there
anyhow? Each leader of tho alledgcd re¬
form movement seems to be running one
of bis own.—Atlanta Journal.
Yes; there seems to be moro than one
third party afloat. Even the “Jeffs” tried
to run one of their own. Will they all meet
with the fate of the “Jeffs?” Demo¬
crats, pure and simple, are hard to
down.
People will go to law with each other
in spite of the Alliance. Our lawyers
seem to have all the business they want
in the several Justice courts of the coun¬
ty. Well, if a man won’t pay his just
debts, then make him do it. A true Alli
anceman, though, will pay bis just debts
without being made to do it. If he is un¬
able to pay now, he will pay as soon as
he can, and will strain every point to pay
liis just debts as they fall due. Let the
creditor be humano enough to give his
debtor a chance, and let the debtor be
man enough to pay bis creditor at the
very earliest convenience.
The Georgia State Alliance will meet
in annual session in the city of Atlanta,
August 19th. Delegates and visitors to
the State Alliance will meet the regular
excursion rates given to such conven¬
tions. They will pay full fare coming to
Atlanta and return at one cent a mile.
In order to get the reduced rate home,del¬
egates ar.d members must get from the
agent from whom they buy their tickets,
a certificate certifying thay they bought
a ticket from starting place to Atlanta,
and paid full fare for same. This certif¬
icate will enable the holder to get the re¬
duced rato home. If you fail to get this
certificate when you buy your ticket you
cannot get the reduced rate, but will be
required to pay full fare.
VOl Ii BOV.
You do not know wliat is in him.
Bear with him; be patient; wait. He is
a boy and most boys are bad. You think
him so light-hearted, and fear he is light
hoaded as well. Remember he called
you father. When he played in your lap
you fondly hoped he would some day bo
a groat and useful man. Now that iie
has grown larger, and his young blood
drives him into gleeful sport,-and makes
him impatient of serious things, rattling,
playful, thougtless, you almost despair.
But don’t be snappish and snarlish, and
make him feel you are disappointed in
him. He is your boy and you are to live
with him. He bears your name and is to
send it down tho stream of time. He ift
herits your fortune and fame, and is to
transmit them to generation to come. j
It may be difficult to govern him, but
be patient. He may seem adverse to ev
erything useful and good, but wait. No
one can tell what is in a boy. He may j
surprise you some day. Hope. Let him
grow. While his body grows larger and I
stronger, his mental and moral nature
may expand and improve. Educate your
boy. You may think money spent in
that way is money spent in vain. There i
is nothing in him; he has no pride, no
ambition. You don’t know. No one can
tell wliat there is in a boy. Besides,
there may be an unkindled spark, an un¬
fanned Hamo, a smouldering fire, a latent
energy, which the teacher’s aid may stir,
the association of books may arouse, de
velop and direct, and thus start you boy
agoing with such energy that no power
on earth could stop him short of the top
most round of the ladder of time. j
If you cannot educate him let him edu
cate himself. That will make him strong
—a giant with whom none dare interfere,
Such are the best men in the world. The j
greates benefactors of the race have
stooped their shoulders to bear burdens,
have carried hands hardened with rough
labor, have endured the fatigue of toil.
Many such are in our midst now. Labor j
conquers all things. The old Roman was
right. We see it in a thousand instances.
Labor makes the man. No boy ever came
to be a man, the noblest work of God,
without labor. This is God’s great law;
there is a divine philosophy in it. Lei
y 0ul . t> 0 y work; if lie will not work, make
him work. There is no progress, no de¬
velopment. no outcome, no true man¬
hood, without it. We must work.
Father, be kind to your boy. We know
what a mother will do. Thank God, a
mother’s love, a mother’s prayer follow
us still, and the memory of her anxious
tears shall never fade out during the suc¬
cession of years. Finally, but not least
pray for your boy. God hears prayer.
Do the best you can, commit all you can¬
not do to God, and hope. Never dispair,
for no one knows what is in a boy.—Ex.
Constipation, blood poison! Doctors’
bills and funeral expenses cost about two
hundred dollars; De Witt’s Little Early
Risers cost a quarter. Take your choice.

OF INTEREST TO GINNERS.
So much has been said about the uso of
Scales at the gin house that we call par¬
ticular attention to a new book entitled
“Facts about Scales” published by
“JONES OF BINGHAMTON” in Bing¬
hamton, N. Y. It contains full informa¬
tion regarding costs, patents &e., and
should be road by every intelligent ginner.
A postal will get it.
A Little Girl’s Experience In A Lighthouse.
Mr. and Mrs. Loren Trescott are keep¬
ers of the Gov. Lighthouse at Sand
Beach, Mich., and are blessed with a little
daughter, four years old. Last April she
was taken down with measles, followed
with a dreadful congh and turning into a
fever. Doctors at home and at Detroit
treated her, but in vain, she grew worse
rapidly until she was a mere “handful of
bones.”—Then she tried Dr. King’s New
Discovery and after the uso of two and
a half bottles, was completely cured.
They say Dr. King’s New Discovery is
worth its weight in gold, yet you may get
a trial bottle fvee at Neill & Almon’s
] drugstore.
FOOTPRINTS OF T1IK WORLUH HI8
TOKY.
From the Christian Itocorii, Reading, I’a.
Ben Franklin once made tho statment,
“Schools teach us the rudiments of lan¬
guage, but books tench us how to think;
therefore, no man is truly educated un¬
loss ho is a render of books.” Ben was
right, hut he lived an age when hooks
were so scarce, comparatively speaking,
that but little of the pernicious in litera¬
ture was tolerated. But in these days it
is different. Your boys thirst for a
knowledge of the world, and if you don’t
give them some wholesome reading to
slake that thirst, they will get hold of
cheap, sensational stories that will poi
son their minds and do them terrible in
jury.
There is such a vast amount of this
^‘y stuff being poured into tlio market
at tlie present time, that it is a relief to
pick up a new book that is at once thrill
!n «’ romantic, wholesome, and true.
Such a work Is “Frootprints of the
World’s History,” the latest and greatest
work of tlie two celebrated historians,
John Clark Ridpath and Win. S. Bryan.
These distinguished gentlemen, having
won their laurels by independent writ¬
ings, have, co-operated on this work, and
produced a gem “of the purest ray se¬
rene.” It is not a dry, uninteresting
statement of the plaiu facts, but rather
eac h of the most important events of his
tol T l> as been taken up and described by
a master of language, who holds the read
er ontraced as he wends his way along
tlui path of history, following carefully
the footprints of progress.
We are delighted with this supeib vol
ume - Perfect in thought, superb in
style, and magnificent in execution. The
binding are sumptuous, as are also the
nmny illustrations and colored plates.
The publishers have rightly concluded
that such a gem should have a rich set¬
ting.
It is a valuable addition to literature.
It is a book for tlie old as well as the
young; the married as well as the single;
the gay as well as the grave. Everybody
will read it with equal eagerness and
profit. It is sold only through agents,
and the Publisher’s advertisement ap¬
pears m another column.
Oitr sales of Plantation Chill cure ex¬
ceed all others together. Ask for a bot¬
tle—we do the rest. (W. Ault.
The First Step.
Perhaps you are run down, can’t eat,
can’t sleep, can’t think, can’t do anything
to your satisfaction, and you wonder
what ails you. You ^should heed tlie
warning, you are taking the first step to
Nervious Prostration. You need a nerve
tonic and in Electric Bitters you will find
the exact remedy for restoring your ner¬
vious system to its normal, henlty condi¬
tion. Surprising results follow the use
of this great Nerve Tonic and Alterative.
Your appotite returns, good digestion is
restored, and the liver and kidneys re¬
sume healty action. Try a bottle. Price
50c. at Neill & Alraon’s drugstore.
A fact worth knowing is that blood di¬
seases which all other medicines fail to
cure yield slowly but surely to the blood
cleansing properties of P. P. P. (Prickly
Ash, Poke Root an Potassium.
People wonder when they find how
rapidly health is restored by taking P. P.
P. (Prickly Ash, Poke Root and Potassi¬
um). The reason is simple, as it is a
powerful combination of the roots and
herbs of the home woods.
Many letters are received by the P. P.
P. Co. from patients, saying They had
used such and such a blood purifier and
sarsaparillas, mentioning their names
and stating they did no good, and they
did not get well until P. P. P. (Prickly
Ash Poke Root and Potassium was tried.
These letters wc started to publish, when
the various manufacturers wrote us fear¬
ful letters, and we discotinued same, but
P. P. P. (Prickly Ash, Poke Root alrd Po¬
tassium) is triumphant on every occasion
and has made a host of friends in cures
of Syphilis, Rheumatism, Scrofula, Blood
Poison, Dyspepsia, Malaria and Female
Complaints.
