There is one mercantile firm in Hawkins

and public spirited. Said.firm subscribes
to and pays for twenty-three papers.
People who go to summer -resorts for
change and rest generally experience the
fact that the refreshment mau and the sta¬
ble man get the change while the hotel
man gets the rest.
In Norway when a horse is fed a bucket
of water ia set tby his feed, .and the horse,
takes a .mouthful of one and a sip of the
other alternately. A broken-winded horse
rarely seen in that ciu.,fry.
A man up in Tennessee has just
his fomth wife, and the man is only A0
years old. The .insurance men will now be
figuring to show how rich that

In both Glynn and Ware counties the
democracy will have to stir around
lively to keep from having a negro elected
to the legislature from each county,
prospects are much iu favor of the blacks.
The Atlanta Evening Capitol has suc¬
cumbed to debt and given tip the ghost.
Where one paper .in Georgia goes down

Belle Boyd, the famous exConfederate
r spv seems to have made up her mind to not
allow the public to forget her. She is
lecturing up North, and besides, attends
■every public occasion where she may be¬
come conspicuous.
The jury list was recently revised in 'Dodge
.county and the names of 51 colored men
put on the list. The other uight a large
body of men took out the hexes and de¬
stroyed every slip. In consequence Judge
Kibbec has adjourned co&rt until the first
Monday in December,
James G. Blaine says that tho govern¬
ment has no right to interfere with private
trusts. When these private trusts interfere
with public interest it would he a partisan
government if it did not interfere with
such intorterenee. This policy of Blaine
and his party interferes with their success.
The successs of the republican party
means more wealth for the rich, move pov¬
erty for the poor. The re-election
Cleveland means the same to the yankeo
that it does to the southern man; the same
to the poor western man that it docs to the
negro. The republican ticket is Harrtson
with no tax on the rich and a high tax on
the poor. The democratic ticket is Cleve¬
land with light taxes on all and cheaper
goo'ht for everybody.
The Farmers’ Alliance should not seek
to injure ttho business of any set of men.
TheynAeuld Bee toit,'however, that they
have an equal*ho«nag''wUh the'balance of
the wotld. Before (undertaking the great
things which tfeay (propose doing, it-seems
to us that it wouRBbe best forithem to beat
the bagging trust. Should they do this ft
would - be an evidence Of their Ability to do
other things of like nature, and the order
would at once become tmore .popular and
poweriul. i
Therevwill be three large fairs in Georgia
duiing the fall, and more small fairs than
usual. The State fair will probably be on
a grander scale than ever" before, and the
exposition at Augusta will equal, if not
surpass any ever held iD Georgia. Colum¬
bus will also have a big fair, and it will
not be far behind The other two, -Georgia
isgoiug to be more largely advertised this
year than ever before, and the effects of it
will be evidenced By the adventef a more
prosperous era.
Tho Hamilton Journal advises farmers
to weave matting of white oak splints,
which it thinks would make a better and a
cheaper covering for cotton ■than jute bag¬
ging, and which will also serve the pur¬
pose of defeating >4ke bagging trust. This
white oak matting would be a good article
for covering the product, but there -seems
to be several -serious objections to the use
of such covering. In the feet place,
would lequire the use of all the timber in
the country- to cover one crop, and this
timber is too valuable to be used for such
a purpose; and besides., the manufacture
of white oak matting is -so easy and
that only a few laborers would he required
to -make it, consequently it would prove
to be a small Industry. s@ur ipropesition is'
to cultivate the plant commonly known as
bear grass, and to establish factories over
the South for the manufacture of bagging,
And probably many other goods from
fihis plant. Bear grass is the -strongest
and mo3t fibrous plant indigenous to onr
climate, and the most favorable feature as
the cultivation of this plant is that it
grows Lest-on old, worn-out '-land. From
two to three crops cau be produced
the same rout the same year. This scheme
is plausible.
