The Grady monument was unveiled in
Atlanta yesterday.
Col. Brock parks questions and then pro¬
ceeds to answer them to suit his own
\iews.
A hill passed both houses of the legis¬
lature limiting the time to a fifty days
session, annually, which is to be ratified
by a vote of the people.
Col. Brock presents the bloody shirt
ibis week. The bloody shirt is no longer
in the way of our people. They have bu
i icd it. We are loyal to the one flag, and
will stand by the. Union.
What woman edited the Southern Alli¬
ance Farmer this week? She ought to he
elected assistant editor, if not editor
in-chief. That “appology” was the best
thing we have read in a long time.
The man who won’t advertise because
“nobody will read his ad,” is the first
one to rush around to the editor’s office
and implore him to keep out a little two
line piece that, might put him orliisbusi
ness in a bad light.—Carroll Free Press.
Col. Brock comes again with Lis same
okl tale about railroad irons and needles.
What about over production, Colonel;
and if money is so plentiful, why is it de¬
manding such a premium just at the pres¬
ent?
The legislature has adjourned and the
members all returned home. The Hon.
T. W. M. Brown says his conscience is as
clear now as before entering the balls of
the cnpitol—having voted against all ap¬
propriations increasing the taxes of a tax
burdened people.
l t No man can possibly be of helpful
service to bis fellow-man, with nothing
but abuse and vituperation for that man
and his neighbors. Imagine the Savior
calling men “flop-eared hounds,”
nosed burns,” and “scoundrels,” and all
manner of miserable devils!—Tribune.
Now-a-days when people want any
thing they look in the newspapers to find
where to get it. If they want the serv¬
ices of a painter, a carpenter, a miller, a
ginner, or any other mechanic or trades¬
man, they expect to find a card in the pa¬
per. They look for it. If they find one
the advertiser gets a job. “J udicious ad¬
vertising pays.”—Beldcn Monitor.
Col. Brock says the reason ho has not
got his part of the money is because he
has nothing to sell or give in exchange
for it, and that others may be in his con¬
dition, hut,.says he hopes not. We ex¬
pect there are others who would like to
he in his condition, and doubtless would
advocate the cause of tlu ir party just as
vehemently as does the Colonel, had they
a salaried office of fifteen hundred or
two thousand dollars per annum.
The People’s Party Paper, not with¬
standing the sneers and jeers of the parti¬
san press, is no mean thing. As yet, we
find only such things advocated by it as
the people are now demanding—unless it
is the Third party—and we tell you they
arc piety badly mixed up down this way
on that; yet the majority are Democrats,
mjking for some such means of relief as
are set forth in the Ocala demands. They
are for these measures, and will go into
the People’s party if forced to in order to
carry out these or some other measures
of relief, and they know no others, We
have been among them enough to know
this to he true. They arc in dead earn
est, and som thing will have to be done.
Gunil Liquor and Frog Pond Water.
Mr. Ogletvce, the boys and 1 left down
there in a good time. Wo did not take
so much liquor that we could not get
away. We know you would like to have
come, but would have had to have help to
turn loose. You are very restless it
seems about the news from God’s
try. Bad liquor, water or something else
is tlie. cause of your not getting the
nows from here. The route agent will
see that you get it “for the dollar in ad
Vance.” It seems to me that if you all
are doing so well that yyu would not be a
dollar short with the editor, and then
blame the route agent with it. It must
be liquor—too much liquor.
The editor can’t live on the wind in
God’s country or any other countiy.
Yours respectfully,
W. L. Farrow.
“SOME HAY.”
Mk. Editor: —Never has there been a
time since Noah’s ark landed on the
Black Jack mountain that there was as
many ready to give the poor farmers ad¬
vice. Some say don’t do this and some
say don’t do that. Some say the sub
ticasury won’t.do, others say it will do.
Some say the People’s party will bring
war and rumors of war, and that they can
almost hear the big guns sounding now.
And some say it will disrupt the demo¬
cratic party, while others say it will only
purify it. Amid all this advice, the far¬
mer’s head will get to wool gathering and
make him like Collins’ ram.
Well, sometimes I wish that a thousand
smart Alecs would lise up with one ac¬
cord and tell me what is best and then ifl
differed witli them they would leave me
to the dictates of my own conscience.
Well, the old farmer will still plod along
and try t-> make both ends meet, but
there will be space enough between the
for a mortgage or a waive note or
lein, and owing to his depressed condi
tioii and the decline in the price of cotton
ho will resolve to increase iiis acreage in
cotton for another year, and lie thinks
both ends will he sure to meet next year,
and he will tell his merchant he will have
to have more corn and hay for him next
year on account of his increased acreage
of cotton,and that he will have to furnish
him all his meat another year, for all his
bacon seeds, like Stephen of old, died a
martyr to the “tater” patch amid a show¬
er of stones. The merchant says, “jest
so,’’ and next year both ends still won’t
meet.
Well, the farmer must trust in a higher
power than the mossy backed politician
if ever lie gets to see that land where
sul-'reasuries or something better, free
coinage and low tariff flows like the milk
and honey country that Moses was per¬
mitted to see. If he trusts in the niossy
backs he may tramp around in the wil¬
derness like a blind horse for forty years
and nights and then rot more than get a
bird’s eye view from the mountain, then
he may cast his longing eyes back and see
Brown and Smith and Jones telling the
people to keep the party lines unbroken
and they will get there

RESOLUTION.
Whereas, the board of education of
Haralson county has, during the present
year, paid out for maps and charts to be
used in the public schools of said coun¬
ty, six hundred dollars of the school
fund. We believe said charts is a fraud
and the maps cost entirely too much,
theiet'ore be it
Resolved, by the County Alliance in
regular session, that we disapprove ot
the ptuchase of said charts and maps but
would much rather that said money had
been spent for books and distributed
among the poorer children of our county.
We woul 1 suggest that they be more pru¬
dent in the future, and il' they persist in
such wreckless expenditure of the public
funds, they are respectfully asked to re¬
sign,that men who are competent maybe
appointed in their stead.

os “™ ATmp
Well, Col. Nix, I thought I would have
told you about my trip to Alabama "be
i fore now, but it seems as though I have
been very busy.
As circumstances would have it, I had
a little time .of ray own to spend as 1
pleased. So I thought I would wend my
way mU through rson, Blount and
Cullman counties and visit some of my
friends and relatives. As I had only a
few days, I thought I would make the
best of it 1 could, and I’ll tell you I had
a nice time.
Crops are very good in Jefferson, but
they have suffered from drouth a good
deal. 1 passed through only a small por¬
tion of Blount, but what I did see of the
farming country was not very flatering.
But Cullman, just hush! Seasons had
been good and crops wore very fine. I
never sa w better corn than grows on then
new grounds. Of course it is not as
thick on the ground, but it* is very large
and heavy. I was surprised, though, to
see it so broken. The idea had been con¬
veyed to me that it was perfectly level, or
nearly so; but I find the western portion
of the couuty quite different. About the
streams is very rough—more so than any
parts of our county—very steep, rocky,
and roads are vcyy narrow for about
three-quarters of a mile on each side of
streams, and the streams are about one
and one quarter miles apart. Ha, ha,
ha, well, the water courses are not quite
that close (for most of them are dry), but
the rest is about as I’ve told, it, although
I was told that this was in the roughest
part of the county.
I did not stay long, but I enjoyed my
trip very much. I found the people veiy
genial and clever, for most of them are
Georgians, you know. Cullman is a nice
little town, I mean the buildings arc nice
ly arranged, and while there was only
"
ll bout two thousand inhabitants, there
was thirteen barrooms. ITow is that for
a “weet” town?
I then returned home to our County
Alliance meeting and had an enjoyable
time there. It might seem to you that I
enjoy myself so well When I get away,
that railroading is not so nice. Well, a
person never knows how to appreciate
good until he has been thrown
among the vilest and most vicious people
of God’s creation. Then good company is
so sweet!
Miss Nellie, I havon’t gone wild yet, as
Pemoci at would have you th nk, and
wlieneveijthe Al’iance, or any of its de¬
mands are ridiculed, scoffed, or sneered
at by any dandy-legged c ritic, or any one
else, you will hear from me as long as I
am able to utter a word or wield a pen.
But then, that subject may not be inter¬
esting to you, so we’ll talk about some¬
thing else.
The train hasn’ t killed me yet, but you
guess well when you say I’m studying
about my best girl going back on me.—
Maybe, though, you know something
about the effects that such things have on
a person by experience. I can truly
sympathize with you in your disappoint¬
ment in losing your best fellow. I ex¬
tend thanks to you for your em ouiugo
ment that there are more girls than one,
etc. Yes, I know they arc so numerous
that a fellow can put his hands in liis
pockets and turn around orce and he
will have knocked down more than half a
dozen with his elbows, and somebody
has said, “There are fish in the sea as
pood as ever were caught,” but I don’t
see the comfort by that saying taught,
for we’re really no cause to be thankful
about the fish in the sea—if we can’t
get them out.
We!!, I'll tell you about my railroading
later on, if Democrat leaver, life in me.
Oscar Wii.d.
P. S.—Wish I knew Alisa Nellie’s it.il
name and address so I could find out if
she is really Sorry for me and how much,
