CORRESPONDENCE.
WALKER'S CREEK.
Mr.. Em row:—As we never ace any
items from this corner of creation, we
made up our minds to amuse ourselves
by writing a few.
Crops look wry well in our corner, as
\v« have had sufficient good rains through¬
out the season.
Watermelons arc the order of the day
at our house. We eat them until we get
sick and then eat another one or two to
make us well.
We attended sacremental services and
feet washing at Shiloh the second Sun
day. We had a good time. A good
crowd and plenty of good things to cat
always insures a good time.
Weather is awful hot just now. We
feel a little afraid instantaneous com
lion. My wife says we needen't he, for
we don’t work enough for the heat
hurt us, but wc are a little doubtful.
Why don’t somebody put a flea in Tom¬
mie Buttram’s ear and let him know that
there are enough boys in Georgia toivllow
at least one boy to each girl without go¬
ing to Alabama for them.
Oh, dear! We have eaten so much fruit
and watermelons, etc., that we are in
misery. The old woman always said we
were hoggish and we believe she is right
for once.
Marion Wirnlom has the measles in his
family.
It looks as though it might rain a little
before long. We wish it would as it is
getting somewhat dry.
Wc would like for Col. Brock to keep
up the correspondence with that lady of
his as it was becoming interesting. We
hope the Colonel is not becoming afraid
of her.
1’rotracted meeting will begin at Provi¬
dence in a short while and then what
good things we shall have to cat, provi¬
ded the preachers don’t get it all, which
they generally do, especially the chicken.
We have a big notion to turn preacher
ourselves so as to get plenty of good
things to eat, but we arc afraid we could
not keep from swearing, if we got a little
angry, and that would shock the sisters
and possibly some of the brethren.
Well, Mr. Editor, if this escapes the
waste basket, and Mrs. Tattler doesn’t
drive us cleau crazy, we shall come
again.
Jake Tattler.

We have just learned that Taylor
Fincher, Hosea Clay and John Smith,
each have a case of the measles in their
families. A good many more have been
exposed to them and arc expected to have
them at any time.
Marion Windotn now has six cases of
measles in his family.
William Cantrell is expecting to sell
out soon to northerners.

The Sunday School Celebration here
bust Saturday was a grand success. Rev.
T. W. Diminock, of Carrollton, was with
us and gave us a good lecture on Sunday
school work.
Mr. II. C. Ayers has been out on the
mountains of late.
Messrs. B. O. Munroc, J. M. Munroe,
Jr., B. R. Ayers, Hiram Ayers and Na¬
thaniel Wilson attended the Cleburne
County Singing Convention last Satur¬
day and Sunday. They report a good time,
good music aud plenty to eat.
Dr. J. II. Harris, of Seney, Ga., passed
through town last Saturday on his way to
Tallapoosa church.
Mr. Gove Bradshaw and family, of Se
uey, Ga., are visiting the family of Mr.
and Mrs. A. J. Hunt.
Mr. J. H. Stewart has just returned
from the Saud mountain where he has
beeu looking after a home. Wo hear he
bought a farm.
Mr. J. J. Cagle started to his home on
the Saud mountain the iirsfc of the week.

A SQUARE STAND
Mn. Editor:— I see that “Oscar Wild”
has taken exceptions to third party '
my I
letter. So I shall sharpen my pencil,
screw up my courage and put on my ;
thinking cap and try to explain that 1 1
stand as squarely by everything in that
letter as I do by the great and glorious
democratic party. “Oscar Wild” states
that he is as much a democrat as I am
wlien it comes to pure democracy. Well,
I would like for him to state just what
his idea of pure democracy is. Is it
leaving the democratic party and running
after a few political “sore-heads” or pur¬
suing a “ will o' the wisp” like the “sub
treasury"’” Such is not my idea of true
democracy. If he is in favor of the third
P« r 1,10 ^-treasury, then 1 deny
that lie is as jjuotl a democrat as I aitiv
Oscar Wild also asserts that I am a crank.
Well, that may be, but I assure him
if I am a crank he can’t turn me, I ex¬
pect I ought to be thankful for his polite¬
ness and magnanimity in lefermg to me
in such a gentlemanly manner, but I am
not. But I always was ungrateful. But
1 have this to say, that I am ready at all
times to uphold my position and to back
what l say, and if Oscar Wild is made of
good material let him come forward and
make his stand and substantiate bis posi
tion and lie will find I am in nowise
backward in expressing my opinion, if I i
am a crank. Let him prove that my |
statements in my third party letter are
false if he can. Let him answer my let
ter if he wants to and he will find that 1
am always on hand “like a thumb.'’ I’m
not afraid to face bis lire nor afraid to
meet in a political contest. I am a demo¬
crat and am proud of it. I am a demo- i
crat from the crown of my head to the
soles of my feet, and as long as the dem¬
ocratic party stands as she now dues, that
long shall I remain a staunch democrat.
1 was born and raised a farmer and 1 look
upon their oppression with a sore and
troubled heart. There are none, not even
an Allianeemau or Oscar Wild himself,
that sympathizes with their wrongs more
than I do. Let them advance a scheme
that is wright and just, one that will ben
elit them without oppressing those that
are still weaker, and they will lind me
with them heart and soul and shall fight
to the bitter end.
Why in the name of God do they light
aud condemn trusts and combines and at
the same time trying to develop and
propagate, under the provisions of the
sub-treasury, a giant trust or combine,
which is ruinous in its very nature? It
is one of the most gigantic trusts ever
known in the history of the world, and is
this the pure democracy that Oscar Wild
has reference to? God f 01 bid that the
time should ever come when the demo¬
cratic party shall advocate such a doc -
trine. The Alliance says, give us the
sub-treasury or something better. But. I
say, for God sake, to give us something
better. If nothing else, a flat refusal to
pass the bill would be a great deal
ter. Let Oscar Wild consider the length
and breuth of our great country and the
diversity of its products, and her many
and various industries, and that each, to
a great extent, is dependent on the rest
for support, and he will then see an melt
before his nose, that the sub-treasury is
neither feasible nor practicable without
disastrous results. Why it would stop
business and trade; everything would
come to a standstill; would be uncertain;
credit would be undermined, and ruin,
black, dismal ruin would stare us in the
face and the sub-treasury would become
a hydraheaded serpent, striking the bo¬
som that had nourished it, and scourging
us with a whip of scorpions as it were.
Oh, yes; Oscar Wild, I stand spume ami
flatfooted upon the dennf'Tntio platform
aud by every sentiment uttered in my
lett.'.r
