CHERRY GROVE.

We are now going through and have
been for the past six months the most
trying ordeal of financial depression
that we have ever witnessed since the
war of the rebellion. The year 1893
will long be remembered as the year
that the Democratic party took charge
of the Government in all its branches
the first time in thirty odd years that
they have had complete control and
they found our nation in a prosperous
and progressive state in all its various
a%vocations of life. The miners, the
manufactures, the a%griculturist were
all running ON extra time and found
a market for their product. All merH
camille business was lively, banks were
doing a prosperous business, but how
isit today. Just six months ago Repub-
licans stepped out and Democracy into
power, and today the excavation of the
mines are caving in, the doors of the
manufacturing establishments are rust
ing on their hinges. Banks and mer-
camille firms all over the country have
failed and the farmer is now being Of
fered only 40 cents a bushel for his
wheat, something that never occurred
before in the history of America. While
all other surplus he produces, including
stock of all kinds are wonderful depre-
ciated in value. Not only are the
Democratic party responsible for this
financial panic, but see what they did
when President Cleveland called an ex-
ira session Of Congress to pass some bills
of relief for the people and nation, the
first thing they done was to pass a hill
to pay themselves milage for attend
ing the extra session, four weeks have
elapsed and the above bill is the only
one parsed, which ought TO politically
damn the Democratic party for all time
to come. w. R. Keys, editor of the
Tomahawk, accompanied by his wife
and baby boy, were taking in the camp
meeting at Sulpher Spring, and visiting
mother, brother and sister, at Morning
Star and also other relatives and friends
in the county; he and bis mother gave
your scribe q most pleasant call one
evening last week, but there stay was
too short. r. T. Murcer and fe, of
Jockey, and VIM. Miller and wife, of
Alfred, were the guests of your scribe
on Saturday night of the camp meeting
at Sulpher Springs. Many thanks to
Mrs. Dasie Hartman, of Morning Star,
for a fine water melon treat. The re-
cent storm did great damage to the
corn and fruit crops in this section.
All the schools of this district opened
up the first Monday with good attend
ence. Owing to the lack of rain there
is the least blowing done in this section
for a fall crop that we have ever seen
at this season of the year. G. w. Jones,
j. c. Hartman, w. R. Tadlock, of the
Lightning Rod Company were in for
camp meeting and to visit home folks
and friends. Wm. Lisenberg and wife
and little boy were the guests of w. G.
Hale Friday. Rev. Wescot in charge
of the United brethren work in this
part of the moral vineyard preached at
RUBBISH Saturday and Sunday. Sam
uel Cochran started for Texas last
week. John Shields, of Alfred, is now
visiting relatives in Buchertown. Fruit
drying and butter boilingsis about over
but sorghum notwithstanding in which
will continue the sport of the young
people. Mrs. CARRIER, of CARRIERS Mill,
is visiting her sister, Mrs. Ferguson, of
this place. KEN.
