Talking Abcut Florida. A few days ago a saw mill man of this place got-to talking about Florida. He mentioned' having seen good land, but couldn’t help, saying something about the pine region. In this connection he was asked about hijw cattle raising prospered in the-pine region, “Well? said he, the land on the ridges, is mighty poor and 1 it takes-about a hun¬ dred acres to graze a goose, The cows find 1 a living in- the lakes by opting water grass, and they soon learn to dive after the moss. It is nothing to See them plunge to the bottom of a lake after moss, hot the aligators bite, their , blame tails off”. The audiende then dispersed and thank ed their stas that they had never been to Florida. I Items of Interest. Mr. Jl H. Brown, of Hornellsvill N. Y. says: “For three years I suffered with blood poison, but S. S. S. cured me complerely. Marriages between whites and Indians are prohibited in Arizona ^and North Car¬ olina. In 1775 there were only 27 newspapers published in the United States. In 1885- 6 the Swift Speefic Co. advertised their in over 5,000 weeklies and 612 daily papers. The metropolitan underground railroad in London carried, during 1887, over 82, 000,000 passengers. S. S. S. enred me of an epithelioma can¬ cer on my right cheek. I know this cure ■was effected entirely by S. S, S.—W. M. Stanfield, Hampton, Ga. Paris was known as Lutetia until 1184, when the great French capital was chang¬ ed to that which it has borne ever since. We have used Swift’s Specific in our family for years, as an antidot for malari¬ al poison, and havs never known it to ail in a single instance.—W. C. Fiirloiv, Americus, Ga. Many people want to buy S; S. S. by the gallon. The company never-sell it that way. They sell only in bottles and packages. v READ THIS. \ We will sell lumber at the following prices for cash on the yard.

Yes. He produces it first for his own use ? Yee, The balance he sells at the market price? Yes. Who makes the market price? Liverpool and London prices are same as Chicago and New York. Then the surplus product of the farmer shipped to England* and sold at their prices;?" Then the farmers of this country, sell in competition with the cheapest labors of Europe- and in tbe cheapest market* in the world ? Yes. Suppose he sells $100 worth of wheat in the cheapest market in the world and then goes to a clothier’s to purchase $100 worth of clothing, and buys [guaranteed imported and all wool] does be buy at the market prices of London and Liverpool ? No. 1 He- pays a tax or royalty to tbe govern wentof $48 on every, $100 worth of'such gseds purchased V Yes. Then he sells in competion< with tbe cbeapes labor and in the cheapest market iu, the world, and buys his plows, tin ware, clothing, sugar, rice, lumber, nails, harness, coffins and tombstones in the most expensive market in the world ? i Yes. Is it any wonder that one-half of the farms in the United States are owned by money lenders and nearly all of the other half mortgaged 1 The Soathrn Women at Work. By the way, isn’t it a little curious ' that southern women— the women who are us¬ ually credited with!being:: lazy;- are quite in the lead as far as moneymaking in this great city goes ? The head of the richest firm of dressmakers here is southern wo¬ man. The iwomen who are making tbe most of tbeir pens are nearly; all from' the south, and the lew I know who keep ideal boarding houses are also of southern birth. I asked a mau why this was, and this was his answer: “I think it is because the southern woman isn’t tailor made. She don’t impress a man at first with her abil¬ ity to get the better of him b uti She stands by his side, lets him realize the difference in their height, impresses him with a belief that she wants protection and he can give it, and, behold! nine times out of ten he does exactly what she wants, bolieving all the time that he suggested it himself! The southern woman has been trained for cen¬ turies to be agreeable to mankind, and just so long will she succeed in whatever she undertakes. But what I said at first is the best reason for her success. She is not tailormade. She is of the world of wo¬ men, and that is always tha one that a man will do anything for. She is the woman who, no matter what misfortune may re¬ quire her to do, still'',a loving-hearted, sweet-spoken woman.” N. Y. Ex— Marred On Wednesday at tho residence of the brides parents in Forsyth were united in marriage manda'rhurman. Mr. Walter Clark and Miss ' A4 Mr. Glark is one of the most stiring young men of this county. Good luck and best wishes are extended to the young married couple by. the Journal, PoIitencMN In AH*ona, Arizona Kicker: "If there is a more .courteous gentleman in all the Wefet'than ^Colonel Dubiff we should like his address. We referred to the Colonel the other day as an unhung thief. It was only our way, but he took exceptions and called at the office and knocked us down. The blow was delivered in the most genteel manner aud was not accompanied with any verbal utterances to shock our sensibilities. Nei¬ ther did the Colonel gouge our eyes or chew our ears after we were down, lie was cool, calin and i composed and we freely admit that we got up with an increase fifty cent in respect for him. Onnnose was skinned and we downed an auction bill into pie as we fell, but have-no grudge to satisfy.. The Colonel could do no less, and-we are thankful that he did no more. “She's the evenest temper ever you saw"— He said as he saw me wince— “She got mad once at seven years old, An’ she’s stayed imad ever since.” A OLEAN CAMPAIGN. The interest taken by tbe people in the presidential contest is not less pronounced than it was in 1884'; says the Savannah Morning News,- but it is noticeable that not, nearly so much personal abuse- of candidates is indulged in. Then the cam¬ paign was such as self-respecting people hope never to witness again.. The private lives of the leading candidates were attack¬ ed, and on- both sides a great many things were said that neither injured tbe chances of election of the candidate against whom they wore directed, nor bettered, the prospects of the one they were intended to benefit. Chairman Brice, of the democratic campaign committee, deserves the greater part of the credit fora comparatively-cleau campaign this year. When he assumed charge of affairs at democratic head¬ quarters he announced that the eampaign would be oneof reason, and not of low personalities, in so far as be was able to control it, and he has succeeded admirably in earring out his purpose. - In no instance has Gen. Harrison’s private life been as¬ sailed. It can hardly be said truthfully that the republicans have adhered to this- plan. They were probably responsible for tbe scurrilous pamphlet in which Mr. Cleve¬ land was attacked at the time of the St. Louis convention, and it is probable, also, that they instigated the- brutal charges concerning tbe President's domestic life, which were made public after he was nominated. For some reason, however, very likely because it was found that no¬ thing was to be gained by it, - this manner of political warfare was suddenly aban¬ doned, since when the canvass has been conducted pretty much with regard to the merits of the two parties and the Issues involved. The people are to be congratulated that such is the case. The effects of a clean campaign will probably be felt'in future contests. While the democratic party has nothing to fear, from persoaal abuse of its candidates, it will gain the increased res¬ pect of the, people generally, because of its efforts to place politics upon a higher plane.

A company of farmers in Coody’s dis¬ trict of Butts county, have combined and erected a ginnery on the Col. Thaxton place. Thev think they will make their ' machinery ciear by saving the price of ginning to themselves this season. A couple of negro women were at work i on the streets of Vienna last week. They were sentenced on a charge of carrying con- - sealed weapons Another jail delivery - was effected at - Eastman last week, all the prisoners es¬ caping one, who refused to leave al¬ leging to be guilty of no crime. Six ne¬ groes and one white roan got away.
