PRIZES.
DECORATION DAY.

Last Friday was decoration day at the
National Cemetery at this place. The
Grand Army of the Republic of the O. NJ.
Mitchell post of Atlanta, came up in a
special car, with their families and brought
large number of baskets of flowers. The
fourth artillery band headed the procession
and marched to the Cemetery, discoursing
/ fine music Prayer was offered by Rev.
Dr. G. F. CLANCY, of Atlanta. A trio OF
ladies, Mrs. Scott. Mrs. Sherrell and Mrs.
Lenty, of Atlanta, sang Cover them over
with beautiful flowers" Rev. J. W. Sher-
rell, OF the Church of the Redeemer, of At
lanta, delivered the grafton, which was
liberal in spirit and appropriate to the oc>
casion. After the address. flowers were
placed on the graves.
Before the band entered the cemetery a
man was placed at the gate to keep back
the surging mass of negroes. This created
some little excitement among the colored
people, who muttered that 'Mr. Cleveland
let them 60 in there when he was Presi-
dent" The order was revoked after a
number had been turned away and they
were finally admitted and took part in
the exercises. 1t was afterwald stated that
it was a misunderstanding, but the man
at the gate, it is said, was very emphatic
in expressing himself
At 1890 train of colored people from
Atlanta arrived, bringing three colored
military companies, a brass band, and
hundreds of colored people. They march
ed over to the cemetery and returned, the
gate being closed. They were admitted at
3 o'clock when they had their colored ora.
tors. jackson McHenry and Capt. Bent
ley delivered speeches 1t is reported
that McHenry's speech was very abusive
of the Southern white people and laudato-
ry of the negro race. His speech was in
appropriate to the place and occasion, and
calculated to stir bad feeling in the negroes
against the white people.
There were only three arrests during the
day and the crowd was quite orderly and
well-behaved.

THE HOME PAPER.

When you get married to the
brightest and best girl in the county
where did you look for that notice
that meant SO much to you, aud so
little to every body else? To your
home paper,
When your home was invaded by
the blue eyed girl, or the bouncing
baby boy. to whom did you make it
your business to convey early in
formation as to the sex, the time
and the weight? To the editor of that
home paper.
In after years, when some manly
young fellow takes the blue eyed
girl to home of his own, or your
cnce bouncing boy-now a man
is given a partnership in the store
because he has just brought home
somebody else's daughter and set
up an establishment of his own, to
whom do you personally exhibit the
wedding presents and load up with
the brides cake and to whom do you
look for that complete description
of the interesting event, down to
the very last pickle fork and indi-
vidual salt, which, once more, means
so much to you aud very few 9TH
ers, ana so little to anybody elsey To
this same editor and that same home
paper.
And when trouble comes in the
home, and you add to your posses
sions that desolate bit of reality, the
lot in the cemetery, and some how
the sun doesn't seem to shine just
as it dsed to, and there is the futter
of Grape at the door and the odor of
the tube rose in the front parlor,a and
the chair that has for years been
beside yours at the Preside and op-
posite you at the table is vacant,
when all this happens, who makes
it his business to write in tender
strain of the one whose life has
grown to be part of yours, and
whose sympathy aud good deeds to
others have long been known and
recognized, is never publicly an
nounced?
The editor of the home paper; and
he's only too willing to do the little
that he can to help you over the
hard spot in the road.
And all these years you've adver-
tised in this Home Paper, and done
what you could to help the editor
fight your battles in municipal and
county matters, and encouraged
him az he has worked to build up
the town and bring business to it?
How is it? Have you?

AN OIL MILL.
THE PROFITS MARIETTA COULD
REALIZE.

Mr.. j. P. Talley, general manager
of Conyers Oil and Fertilizer Facto-
ry,writes to party in Hartwell and
gives some valuable information re-
lative to starting an oil mill. That
one would pay in Marietta there can
be no doubt. He says:
Il have had management of our
mill here several years. and know
by actual experience that there is
good money in an oil mill run on
strict: business principles.
Enclosed | hand you an estimate
on TWO sizes of oil mills,a II ton and
25 ton mill. These are two of the
most popular sizes now being oper-
ated. The seasons of 1883 and 1889
we made over so per cent, and it is
conceded by all oil mill men that it
was the most disastrous year known
to them. The prime cause Of the
bad year was a movement put on
foot by the trust" to break up the
Oliver Bros mills, and in the trial
their President and Treasurer de-
faulted to a big amount and the
buyers got on to it and priced the
price of oil down. But the price now
is as good as it was before the break
came.
A cooperative mill, by the farm
ers and merchants and business men
is first class investment, and will
do more than anything to bling the
two classes together.
The cost of complete frst-class
outfit for II ton mill is s8,500.00;
for 35 ton mills, $16,50O.00. Add
to each of these $4,000 for guano
factory.
These prices include absolutely
everything except building, freight,
etc. Il covers all betting, shafting,
pulleys,engines and boilers,and each
piece is guaranteed in every partic-
ular to be first class, as to design
and workmanship. l have worked
a long time to fit myself for the work
of assisting those of our people in
the South to start right on oil mills.
! The country is full OF agents rep
resentins all kinds of cheap, low
grade machinery, and a great many
of our people have been caught by
them. But I am doing all l can to
check it.
This machinery is the same as
used by the Gate City Oil Mills, at
Atlanta and Charlotte, and the
Southern Oil Mills. 1t is the fastest
machinery in the market, now.

GeOruia's Election.

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. There were not
over SO, 1000 votes cast in the State election
today. If it had not been for half dozen
local contests precipitated by desire to
beat the anti Gordon candidate the vote
would have been even less. About 100 of
the members elected to the Legislature
are members of the Farmers Alliance,
giving that body two-thlrds vote. Inc
Governor elect and all the State House
officials are likewise Alliance men. Gen.
Gordon, ever since the newspapers first
gave the alarm of his impending danger
from the Alliance vote, has been pursuing
an aggressive campaign. He has succeed
ed in many instances in changing the
instructions given to the nominees and
now stands better chance than he did
a while ago. He is by no means out of
danger, for his vigorous attacks on the
Alliance has embittered the members, and
now that they find themselves in full
control of the State they are disposed to
knife him.

Girls Determined to be Mormon
Wives.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-Tho authorities at
the barge Office this morning used an I'M
mense amount of moral persuasion on the
tbirty-two young Mormons that arrived
Yesterday on the steamer wyoming TO
induce them to forego their intention Of
becoming proselytes to the Mormon faith
The girls were separated from the other
passengers as they landed and placed in
room by themselves. Three female
missionaries from the EmIgrant Girls
Home went among them and tried to con-
vince them of the folly Of the course they
proposed to follow. 1t was very bard
Undertaking. One of the girls-Karen
Sylvesterson by name-who acted as
spokeswoman for tho party, frankly ac-
knowledged that they were all willing to
be one OF seven or eight wives, and were
fully aware of the principles of Mormon
ism.
The girls arc all yonng, and SOME of
them remark bly, pretty. The attempt
of the missionaries to influence them
proved an utter failure, and as all that
che barge Office authorities can do is to
nee persuasion, the entire party will pro-
coed on their Journey tomorrow by the
Old Dominion Line via Newport News
Va. The party comprises, all told, 2Q2
souls, Of whom 80 are children. Among |
the lot is a married English woman, who |
left her husband 10 England to take mp
the Mormon faith. She said she was called
and compelled to 90. She refused to tell
her name.
