A day or two since the Caucasian

members Of the Farmers Alliance
in reference to the formation Of a
new political party. As in perfect
line with that article the following

Brother I. deny the fact that mil.

annually for this article? Can

Millions 60 from the south annually
for that. Can government mike a
man raise wheat? Millions 90 an

Can government make a man build
garden? Can government make
a man raise his tobacco and many
other things that can be grown on
southern farms? Can government

MARIETTA'S HOTEL.
MR.. ERWIN MAXWELL SAYS THE
NEW HOTEL AT MARIETTA, GA,
is AN ASSURED SUCCESS.

Mf. Erwin Maxwell, who is interested in
the Palace Hotel of this city and is known
in all parts of this country as one of the
most successful and enterprising hotel
managers is in the city from his beautiful
Southern home in Marietta, Ga, and in
an interview with the writer said that the
long talked of hotel for Marietta is an as.
sured success.
We published some months ago an &C.
count of the interest that Mr.. Maxwell was
taking in the matter of having fine ho-
tel building erected in that city for the ac-
commodation of strangers and visitors who
pour into it frem all parts of the north to
spend the winters besides the commercial
traveller and tourist who stop off in the
town while en- route to other southern or
northern cities, as the case might be.
Mr. Maxwell has taken deep interest
in the matter and talked the hotel up to
the business men of Marietta and showed
them the advantages in commercial way
fine and well.kept hotel would be to
their city and offered in lieu OF a stock
company being formed to give the ground
on which the hotel might be erected. Mr..
Maxwell owns a subdivision and the
choicest part of his property lies on a
prominent elevation .affording the finest
site in the whole city of Marietta for the
erection OF fine hotel building.
We have been over almost every foot of
this property as well as other parts OF Ma
rietta and can say that no spot in that
whole surrounding country has any better
advantages than the tract Mr. Maxwell pro-
poses to give for the building of the: hotel.
Mr.. Maxwell is enthusiastic in his rraise
of the manner in, which the leading citi-
zens and business men of Marietta have
taken hold Of this matter and feels that the
public and citizens of the town will &C.
cord them the proper praise that their en-
ergy is certain to bring forth. Already
$25, 900 has been subscribed by the citizens
and business men of the place and Mr..
Maxwell assures us that $4,000 will be
taken in a few days more.
Bonds then will be issued sufficient to
build and furnish a 125 room hotel which
will likely cost 100000. It is proposed
that the hotel shall be first-class in every
sense of the word, with every modern de
vice and improvement and furnished in
every department with the very finest and
most modern furnishings. The hotel will
pay from the way it opens. Should any
of Cincinnati capitalists desire for an in.
vestment here is good opportunity to
take up some of these bonds-Cincinnati

The proposition to tax cotton seed

SIDE-SADDLE TO GO.
HOW A LADY SHOULD RIDE.

Some of the eastern papers, following
the discussion in England, are giving space
to the question Of discarding the side. sad
die, allowing lady riders the safety and
ease of seat secured to men. Physicians
generally advocate the change, some of
them very strongly. Livery stable men
are in favor of it, the wear and tear on
horses being much more severe under side
siddles. Several New York ladies' are
preparing to take their exercise in the
park on mems saddles, in suitable cos
tunes, after some practice in the riding
schools. Mr.. Chuck Anderson, of this
place, who perhaps has the best livery
stable in the south, and is especially we'll
supplied with saddle horses is unanimous
ly in favor of the reform. In his Office is
drawing of q lady on horseback in riding
boots aud Turkish trousers, with the title
AS it should be-" Mr.. Burnap, the artist,
who made this picture, says there is moth
ing new in the idea, as in sorae parts of
the world where horseback riding is uni
versal the women have proved by practi-
cal use the advantages of the natural, or
mans saddle, over the artificial side seat.
Warlick, the photographer, has made a
very pretty reproduction of the above
drawing, card size. 1t looks to us like an
Improvement on the old style-though we
never had much practice on side saddles.

RELIGIOUS REVIVAL.
SOME FINE SERMONS BY A BRIL-.
LIANT DIVINE.

The series of meetings held at the Bap-
tist church Tor the last ten or twelve days
have been attended by large congregations
and great interest manifested. On Suns
day morning number of persons con.
nected themselves with the membership of
the church by letter and on profession
of faith.
Rev. A. q. Mitchell, pastor of the third
Baptist church in Atlanta, has been assist
ing Rev. Mr.. Tumlin in the services. Mr.,
Mitchell is young man about 80 years
old, but is gifted mentally to high de-
gree. As an orator, he is earnest, brilliant
and oftimes eloquent. His delivery is
rapid and fluent His descriptive powers
are very fine. He clothes his thoughts in
faultless rhetoric and chaste dictiou, and
by the power Of his magnetism he holds
the attention Of his audience very closely.
His sermon of last Sunday morning was
worthy of Talmage, Hawthorne or Morri-
son. 1t was not only spiritual and fer
vent, but grand in conception, convincing
the Judgment and winning the heart He
seems to be preacher who feels the re-
sponsibility' of his sacred office and en-
beavers to meet the requirements and du>
ties that press upon him with all the ear
nestness of his mind and soul. Our citi-
zens have been edited and benefited by
his sermons, and the seeds of truth sown
must result in precious harvest.
