act intelligently and advisedly during the
coming session of the Legislature.

The following Democratic app pointments have been given us, al which times and places speeches will be made by the gentlemen mentioned, who will immediately afterward organize Democratic clubs:
 Boughton: Messrs. w. E. At kinson and c c Hamby, on Fri. day the 18th, at Providence church about noon.
 Emmet: W E Atkinson, Satur. day night next, the 18th.
 Georgia: c C Hamby at Henea- vile next Tuesday the 20th inst.
 We hope the.people will turn out at these places, and get up rousing big Democratic clubs and go to work in earnest. After they are organized, the clubs should meet at least twice a month, or every week if convenient. The club at Prescott meets once every week.

When person makes an invention be it even so good and useful, unless he applies for and gets patent from the govern ment for the exclusive right to use and sell same, it is of no benefit to him, for the seltishncSs of those around him will preclude such benefit, as all will claim it as pub- lie property. The Davis 1886 Quilting Frame is one of the most useful labOr-saving inventions of the present century. Everybody who sees it, praises it's perfect work.
 It is a wonderful attachment for a sewing machine, and with it's use r large sized quilt can be quilted in two hours time, and a heavy comfort ir one hour. Any person can use if, as it is simple in con struction and easily managed,
