Harvesting is about over.

Harvesting is about over.
Norman Green has been on the sick
list but is improving now.
Miss R. E. McElwain has gone to
Arkansas on visit to relatives.
The only hope of the republicans is
to split the peoples party and that they
are trying to do by jumping on to the
officials that were elected last fall. If
they never scare the peoples party any
more than at present, they had better
save their time, money and brains for a
better occasion and that will not be for
years.
The citizens of this vicinity are well
pleased with the actions of our county
attorney in the Bennington case. We
are not afraid to trust HIM. If we had
any doubt about HIM we would not
have stuck to him so nobly through
the campaign and at the polls. He is
the first county attorney that has tried
to enforce all the laws since we have
been id Barber county and that has
been oyer II years. He is the first one
that has collected forfeited bona tC
our knowledge. While the Cresset il
bowling so, it might explain why there
are about $4,000 of forfeited bonds
that were Cancelled by our ex-county
attorney. All we have to say t.
our honorable county attorney is TO en-.
force the laws, and the law abidlnl
citizens will stand by him.

BUILD UP THE TREASURY

From the birmingham Age-Herald.
Considering the present financial condition
of our government it would seem that we need
to build up treasury before we consider the
question of a sub-treasury.
That advice is not so bad. The only
way to build up treasury is to begin
by throwing the republican party out
of power. They would bankrupt any
treasury. The next step toward build
ing up treasury is to build up the peo-
pie who support the treasury, and not
rob them for the purpose of enriching
monopolists who pay no taxes except in
the way of corruption funds.

If the g. o. p. papers and orators find
any consolation in preaching the false
hood that the peoples party Is COM
posed of calamity howlers, and that
one good crop will disrupt the party,
let them preach it. The INDEX is 10
favor of good crops, and is in favor of
good prices for those crops, and if pros
perity will kill the peoples party, we
say welcome death" The Lord hath
given us the crops. The republican
party has destroyed our markets. We
have no complaint against the mercies
of Providence; it is the robbery of the
protectionists against which the kick
is made. When we make crop we
can't sell it, and the cry is lover pro-
duction," while hundreds of thousands
are starving for the corn We are burn

What Microbes Are.


Aren't you afraid of typhoid fever.
said Dennis.
"Yis, am" answered Pat
"Pat?''
''Yes, Dinny."
"What are those microbys and germs
the docthors are all talking about?"
"Waal, I'll tell we my idee, Dinny.
Thin germs and microbys are peculiar
things. Flanagan was tellin' me about
thin. He says they reside in the
wather. He was fishing through the
ice last Monday, and he pulled up his
line and found microbe on it He says
it looked a good dale like bullhead,
but it had mighty queer face. He
says he threw it back afther he got over
being scarf. Me own opinion is, Dinny,
that microbys are a peculiar kind of
fish. ALBANY Argus

Our exchanges would confer a favor
on us If they would tell us
how they can afford to publish foreign
advertisements at the prices offered.
We have been in the newspaper bust
ness long time. and if our columns
were full of that kind of advertising We
could not make living. Do they
charge their home patrons enough to
make up the loss on the foreign truck?

republicans would rather see American
tin manufacture a failure than q sue

else the Mckinley bill for putting tar

Gle, when the Americas article is too
small to be worth tariff. Give the
American factories bounty of the

Senator PETER says that he would rather
have seen Ingalls, sent back to the senate than
himself. The sun would probably stand still
and the world whirl around from north to
south before Jerry Simpson could be induced
to say such thing of Jim Hallowell.
We don't think that Senator PETER
made any such remark. If he did, it is
the weakest stuff that he has uttered.
The latter part of the article is about
correct.

There is determination on the part
of the G. o. p. papers to put the peoples
party on the defensive. Hence those
papers persistently make false charges,
mis-quote and perYert everything they
can. and they refuse to explain any
rascality In their own ranks. We have
failed to see where republican organ
had denounced Wanamaker or even
intimated that BOtkin was not saint.

Young Emperor William, of Ger
many, is visiting his grandmother,
Queen Victoria, of England. All Eng

courtesy to the visiting emperor. We
have no use for emperors, kings,

the young emperor is entitled to ten
times the respect that is due the drink

of Europe can tolerate royalty lso-call-
ed has always been a matter of great
surprise to us.

The tin industry is fraud. Because
there is a 2OxSO foot lean-to in st. Lou

two other American cities, with a boy
and a rheumatic old man as employees,
our republican friends would put tar.

article % cents pound. These
american tin makers" are now stock
ed with Welsh tin enough to last them
two years. They bought it before the
tariff went into effect. If protection
makes tin cheaper what fools they were
for laying in stock for higher prices.

The money had been easily raised, and
the association in due course advertised
for designs, seventeen of which were
submitted by prominent sculptors. Out
of the number one prepared by Mr..
Alexander Doyle, of New York, was ac-
copied.
Mr.. Doyle is an artist of extensive
reputation and considerable ability, He
was born in Ohio in 1858. He soon
went to Kentucky, where he lived until
he was fifteen, when he went to Europe.
There he remained for seven years,
studying his profession under Dupre at
Florence and in the government acad-
envy at Rome, and in Milan. He is an
honorary member of the Raphael acad-
envy, Urbino, Italy. Among some of his
works are the Hill monument in Allan
ia, the Garfield monument in Cleve-
land, the Greeley statue in New York,
the Revolutionary monument in York
town, Va, executed for the government,
and many others in New Orleans, Sa-
vannah, Toledo and elsewhere.
The Grady monument proper is made

This sorrow did not expend itself in
words, spoken or printed. 1t was felt
that it must take an enduring form, and
on the day following his death the
young men of Atlanta held a meeting to
take some step toward erecting monu-
ment to their deceased associate.
In few days the Grady Monument
association was organized and Chair
man Charles S. Northen of the first
meeting was unanimously chosen presi
dent; W. P. Hill, vice president; Clark
Howell, secretary, and T. A. Hammond,
treasurer.
Mr.. Northen is still a young man,
having been born in Hancock county,
Ga, in 1860. He spent his childhood
there and in Houston county, where he
attended high school, but in 1871 he
went to Atlanta and found employment
in a wholesale grocery firm on Alabama
street. Before he was fairly grown up
he was a member of the firm which had
employed him, and which was then
known as Smith, Porter & NOrthen.
Mr.. NOrthen is now special agent of
the Equitable Insurance company. He
is a nephew of Governor Northen, and
was somewhat instrumental in the nomi-
nation and election of his uncle, having
been intrusted with the management Of
the latters state campaign. Mr.. Nor
then takes considerable interest in state,
county and municipal politics, and is at
present chairman of the executive COM
mittee of the Young Mems Democratic
league of Fulton county.
With this young man and his associate
officers at the head of a movement which
was enthusiastic from the beginning, the
happiest results have been realized. The
association having formulated plan of
action and announced it to the world, a
statement was made that the Henry w,
Grady Monument association would,
until thirty days after the death of
Mr.. Grady, receive voluntary contribu-
tons for the purpose already told. No
subscriptions were to be solicited. Free
will offerings only were desired.
Before sunset on the day this action
of the association was made public, over
Sc, 900 was poured into the treasury by
the citizens of Atlanta. The news was
heraIded over the country, and at once
telegraphed subscriptions We're received
from the northeast, the northwest, from
everywhere. Boston gave handsome
sum. New York forwarded large contri-
button. From far away in little village
in the Rocky mountains was mailed a
gift, with the words that the immortal
Grady's influence had penetrated the
backwoods. Among the last donations
wired was $500 from Tammany Hall.
When the thirty days had passed it was
found that 700 had been received

impulses
