ATLANTA'S AGONY.

Atlanta is now IN the throes OF a
most exciting agitation over the 10.
cal option question, and the city is
full Of prohibition and anti prohibit
ton advocates, who respectively adj
dress enthusiastic crowds every
night. The issue is distinctly drawn
and the fight is as to whether the
sale of liquor in Atlanta shall be
prohibited. The advocates of pro
hibition, REINFORCED by eloquent
speakers from other parts of the
country, are making earnest appeals
to the people, while the. anti -prohi.
tionists, represented by equally elo
quent advocates, are urging opposi-
tion to what they term a fanatical
movement and advising a high Ii.
cense law as remedy for existing
evil.
For several years The prohibition
movement has been making steady
progress in Georgia. The IL ovement
began quietly, and was based upon
the four.mile law, which was accept
ed as a good law by the great mass
of the people. Schools were judi
ciously located throughout the coun-
ties TO increase the territory includ
ed by the four mile law, and then, as
further step, beginning with lie.
mote and comparatively unimportsnt
counties to vote on the question of
local option. One by one the coun
ties which prohibited the sale of Ii.
Quor by popular vote increased, until
in 1888 it was found that total pro.
hibition prevailed over two thirds Of
the territory OF the State. In conse
quence thereof the liquor business is
alleged to hive. fallen of so per cen,
in the State.
To circumvent this prohibition d
the traffic the expedient was adopted
OF shipping liquor in little brown
jugs" which found their way through
out the forbidden territory. Thi.
caused reney we'd efforts upon the par
of the prohibitionists, and the result
has been that in only % counties gu
of 1877 Is the sale of liquor unrestrict
ed. The temperance people made

OUR MAILS.

Our able contemporaries, on the
west side of the river, are ag!tating
the questio Of the imperfection Of
the mail line connecting this place
with Bethel Springs.
Savannah Is dissatisfied with her
present mail facilities and will max e
a strong effort to secure a change in
the near future. The change desir
ed is TO connect with the railroads at
Corinth instead of Bethel Springs
the road in that direction being bet
ter and less liable to overflow.
A mail leaving this place and Cor.
NTH every morning and tapping al
Hamburger, would give US our mails a
day sooner than we get them by the
present route.
Should this matter be presented to
the Postmaster general in the proper
light it would, no doubt, be readily
granted.

A Worlds Fair in 1892.

At the annual meeting, November
18th, of the officers and stockholders
of the Chicago Exposition Company
the proposition to have a worlds fair
in America in 1892, in commemora-
ton OF the landing of Columbus, was
favorably received, and it's discussion
developed the following resolution
which was adopted:
Resolved, that il is the sense of
this meeting that great worlds fair
he held in Chicago in the year 1892,
the four hundred anniversary of the
landing of Columbus in America. 1t
was the belief of those most in favor
of the project that the favorable To-
cation Of Chicago and the enterprise
of its citizens we'll adapted it to
shoulder the principal responsibility
of worlds fair, and that the nature
of the event which it would commem-
crate would inspire the entire people
of the United States with determi-
nation to make it fully worthy of its
object.

Fruit On the Table.

In State like Tennessee, where
almost every variety Of fruit may be
produced, and where land is cheap
and easily obtained, it is remarkable
that farmers should pay 50 little at
tention to fruit growing and a fruit
diet. There is not one farmer in
twenty that has fruit throughout the
year. With proper management one
may have Tennessee grown fruit up
on lis table every day in the yer,
and vet fruit as a diet is not in gen
eral use. Beginning with strawber
ries early in the season, one might
have in succession raspberrles, black
berries, peaches, pears, grapes, ap
piles. The latter, by judicious Sc.
lection of varieties, could he made
to last until strawberries come
again.
A liberal part of every meal should
consist of fruit. 1t is more beautiful
and agreeable to taste and stomach
than sailed meats and bread, upon
which a large majority of our farm
ers subsist. The people in th" coun
try, with every advantage of grow
ing fruit well, give more attention to
a few hogs or corn6eld than to the
fruit orchard. They are disappoint
ed il the apple aud peach trees they
plant do not grow and flourish and
yield fluit bounteously without any
attention On their part.
A good orchard requires as much
care as a cornfield. 1t should be-
worked with regularity, and manured
annually. The worms and insect;
which prey upon the trees and fruit;
should be sedulously hunted for
and destroyed as unremittingiy a.

Faded Leaves.

The hills are bright with naples yet
But down the level land
The beach leaves rustic in the wind
As dry and brown as sand.
The clouds in bars Of rusty red
Along the hill~tops grow,
As in the still sharp air the frost
Is like dream of snow.
The berries Of the briar-rose
Have lost their rounded pride,
The bitter-sweet crysanthemums
Are dropping, heayy-eyed.
The cricket grows more friendly now,
The dormouse SLY and wise,
Hiding away in the disgrace
or nature from mems eyes.
The pigeons in black wavering lines
Are swinging toward the sun;
And all the wide and wlthered fields
Proclaim the summer done.
His store of nuts and acorns now
The squirrel hasts to gain,
And sets his house in order for
The winters dreary reign.
IT'S time to light the evening fire,
To read good books, to sing
The low and lovely songs that breathe
fthe eternal spring.

THREE INDIAN POLICIES.

Three Indian policies have prevail
ed in this country. If. the future is
to be judged by the past the Indian
is restricted in his selection of pol
icy 10 choice between swift, merci
ful and easy way TO the happy hunt
ing grounds and thorny path.
From Massachusetts, to Oregon
and from Virginia to Texas the red
man has been robbed and killed by
the savage pioneers of advancing
civilization. The only, or at least
the chief, modification of this plan
was the Penn plan by which mcrci-
full swindling was substituted for
robbery aad murder. SO far as their
primal right of occupancy was con-
cerned it made very little difference
to the red races whether they were
killed off, driven off, or persuaded off
By a shrewd Quaker with lot of old
rubbish, such as beads and ribbons
A few other apparent exceptions
to the robbery and murder policy
will be found in North Carolina and
New England and New York, where
it was found easier to give lands to
obstinate odds and ends of tribes
who were peaceful.
The later policy of treaty reserva
tion and starvation, intersper sed
with war is from the Indian con
tractor, Indian trader, and Indian
agents stand points, in improve
ment on both the older policies. II
preserves the Indian and ekes hin
out. He has indeed actually fatten.
ed and increased on it. From thu
idle soldiers stand point it is an i'm
prOvement. There is more of hin
to kill. After all it only postpone'
the day and in no way interrupts
the process. 1t has hardly made {
fair beginning of improving the In
dian.
