will doubtless attract a large number
of railroad contractors.
Several engagements have already been
made for the opening night at the new

There arc two thousand farmers in
the eight counties around Griffin who
might each subscribe twenty-five dol
lars towards a bagging factory to be
erected at this place.
What say you farmers? Thu U the
way to break trusts and it is in The line
we have marked out for the Alliance.
We want the Alliance, through its
warehouse, and state exchange, and
bagging factory, and cotton seed oil
mills, to be able to handle i's cotton
crop. Here in lies sucsess. Upon
ibis line we can make the order. the
grandest thing that ever flourished
South. Think of it, 240 millions in a
crop and that crop grabbed up
by speculators, trusts and gamblers.
Let us work on the cotton business
until we handle the staple from its seed
to manufactured cloth. Do this and a
new era will come upon us. We need
an oil mill and a bagging factory right
now in connection with oar warehoase
and Slate Exchange.
Griffin should in two year* more
manufacture every bale that comes to
this market, crush every seed into oil
and make every piece of bagging. We
cao make our farm 4 profitable and cot
ton again be our own loved “king.”—
Griffin Sun.
The above is equally applicable to
Thomasville ami l’homas county, and we
desire to aak the serious consideration
our Alliance friend) to the project.
It has been demonstrated that pine
straw will make as good bagging as
jute, aod, in this section we have an
inexhaustible supply of pine straw./
We think it very likely that arrange
ments could be made to have a plant
moved to this section, if our country
friends will take uni'ed action in Jhe
matter. We have now in existence an

Alliatco friends consider the propriety
of making this a nucleus around which
to build up an industry that will supply
them with a market for their straw,
hi'her to valueless; their cottonseed, at a
proper valuation, and also furnish them,
at a price fixed by themselves, fertili-
zre and bagging. A joint stock con-
e rn, nnnagcJ after the co-operative
system, aod fostered by the united pat
ronage of our farming friend?, would
save all proli's now going into the
pockets of the middle men and at the

hear from you on the subject.
< rii7*OI«| Jail.
We learn that Capt. C. 1*. Hanscli
will draw up a bill for the county
commissioners, to be introduced ear
ly in the session of the legislature,
authorizing the sale of the old jail
and lot. It is designed to sell, oa
the 1 st Tuesday in March, at which
time the town will be full of Northern
visitors, many of whom will be look
ing for ir.VC5Ur.ent5 here. That the
property will sell well at that time, is
an assured fact. The proceeds of
the sale will go far toward construct'
ing a new and modern jail in a less
objectionable portion of the town.
'The old jail, surrounded by hotels,
is both unsightly and very much out
of place. It does not come up to
the requirements of the law. 'The
statutes have spoken on the construc
tion of jails, and ours comes under
the ban. The commissioners are
acting wisely, and in deference to the
demands o| the public and the rec
ommendations of grand juries, in or
dering the sale. They will make it
bring its full worth.

“I have an idea,” said a friend, on
Levy’s comer, this looming.
“Let us have it qvick, before you
lose it,”-we responded, sharpening a
pencil stub with which to grapple the
idea.
“What do you think ought to be
done with the large quantities of dirt
taken from the new opera house and
Finn’s new buildings ?” said the gen
tleman, preparatory to advancing his
idea.
“Well, you know that we have al
ways opposed putting day on our
beautiful sandy streets. There are
low places, doubtless, where the dirt
could be put to advantage.”
“My suggestion is this,” said the
new-idea man. “Have the dirt haul
ed out to Paradise Park, and make a
large mound somewhere in the park.
It would relieve the monotony ot the
place. Mounds look well in parks.
It could soon be turfed over with
grass, and would prove to be a very
attractive feature ot this popular
pleasure resort. And then, after the
lapse of a few years, after the fact of
the mound being of modern origin
has been forgotten, we might pass it
off for an Indian mound.”
It is needless to say, perhaps, that
much shocked at the bare
idea ol deceiving any one with a fic
titious Indian mound.
However, the suggestion of the
mound is a good one. The dirt
could not be put to a better use.

Rev. Mr. McDoncll officiating, Miss
LhalY, JfljtKS and Mr. Joseph A.
Terry.*
Miss Lily is a daughter of the late
James Y. Jones, and one of the most
accomplished and charming young la
dies in South Georgia. She has been
;cneral favorito in society, and her
bright, happy face will be missed by a
large circle of acquaintance. The
groom, Mr. Terry, ia a sterling gentle
man of Crystal Springs, Miss. He has
favorably impressed all here during
his brief visits. The gentleman ia to
be congratulated upon having won a
bride worthy of him—or any man.
After congratulations the party, in
cluding a large number of relatives,
and a fow invited friend), were ushered
into the dining-room, where n most
elaborate wedding supper was spread.
A wedding supper at “Greenwood” is
a supper sure enough. Everything
was choice, in profusion, and arranged
in the most artistic style. The cakcr,
of which there were quite a number,
were models of the confectioner’s art.

To the Democrats ofThon
Tuesday, the 6th day of Novem
ber, will decide whether the demo
cratic party is to remain in power,
or whether the republican party, shall
be returned to power. No Southern
democrat can view the situation with
unconcern. We owe everything to
the democratic party. Mr. Cleveland
has given the country a cltan, broad,
conservative administration, some
thing unknown in the history of the
republican party. But there is an
other election, the same day, for
congressman. Our representative has
been called by the national demo
cratic committee to do battle in the
doubtful Northern States. Sacrific
ing his own time, which, ordinarily,
should be given to his own district,
he has obeyed the summons like a
true soldier, trusting to the democracy
of the district to protect his interests.
And they will do it. But we want
Thomas county to lead in the fight,
to give Henry G. Turner, who is
fighting our battles at the North, the
largest majority she has ever given
him. Under the circumstances he
deserves this. Let us stand by the
man who, forgetting self and his
own personal interests, is speaking
day and night in the Northern States
v?lnnd and tariff reform.
Give one day, Tuesday, ’he 6th day
of November, to your country, to
Cleveland and Thurman, to honest
government and pure democracy.

'farrow, leave your offices, stores,
counting rooms, anvils and shops,

The epidemic matrimonial continues
to spread. It is not thought that froA
will bring a cessation of the disease.
It has, in fact, assumed a most virulent
form, defying all treatment, however
skillful. Even good nursing appears
to be without the results which usually
follows. Quarantining does not bring
protection. It is in the air, permeating
insidious and certain. It is both conta
gious and infectious. No remedy has

An Appeal to Demoerau.
The national Democratic commit-
2 is sorely in need of funds 10 pros
ecute to successful issue the present
campaign. The amount 'already
raised has been very large, but it has
all been expended in the printing
and circulation of documents and
the other legitimate expenses of the
canvass. The appeal is to every
Democrat, near or remote, who has
faith in his political convictions, to
evidence that faith by giving his mite
from his own pocket. The commit
tee says:
The strain upon our resources
during the last two weeks of the
campaign will be very great. Such
amounts as you may raise, please
send at once to Charles J. Canda,
treasurer, No. 10 West Twenty-ninth
street, New York.
The appeal comes with singular
merit and propriety. With the
Southern states this contribution
would be in the nature of a safety
fund. Democratic victory means
more to us than to any people in
this nation. Wc are remote from
the storm centre. There are no
doubtful states hinging on uncertain
pivots here, and wc feel reasonably
secure of our own ground ; but as
sure as the sun shines Democratic-
prospects will be ruined unless there
are funds to defray the campaign ex
penses. Is good government worth
money ? Are capable official?, regu
lar mails, peaceful elections, home
rule and low taxes worth striving at
ter? Just these sort of blessin
