The mission of the third party is
to create strife and discord among
the people, AMI the devil is reioiced
at the success it is attaining. Six
years ago, before the third party
was organized in Georgia, our peo>
pie were happy and contented.
Their products brought good price,
and many men were buying homes
and paying for them. How is it
now? Look at the division among
our people. Where peace and good
will then held sway strife and hatred
now reign supreme. Scheming
politicians have whispered in the
ear of the farmers that the merchants
are cheating them, and that the
world has conspired to rob them.
Many of the farmers have believed
the story and gone off after strange
gods, but they will come back after
awhile and make the schemers mad
and the devil sad. The people of
Georgia have common interests, and
they will not long remain in a state
of hostility to each other.-Law-

Story This Week.

We will begin this week with the publica
ton, in the JOURNAL, REPUBLICAN LEADER
and ALMA RECORD, OF story, not new, but
very remarkable in many respects. The title
is "She," by II. Rider Haggard. Many have
objected to this story because of its weird
character, utterly wild and impossible Incl
dents and adventures. While we must
confess that the story is open to
these objections. and might give
persons naturally nervous bad dreams, yet,
for person of good nerves, and one inter
ested IN archaeology, superstitious, manner-
and customs of African tribes, and the
general nature of life in Africa, the story
will be of great value. What Mr.. Haggard
tells you of African life is true. His impossi-
BILE incidents the reader will know how TO
distinguish from the truths of his story; and.
moreover, he will have much better knowl-
edge of Africa, after reading Mr. Haggard's
stories than before. What Jules Verne has
done to interest people in science, Rider
Haggard has done TO interest In
Egyptology. His stories are valuable, if
people know how to interpret them, The
charm and fascination of the story caonot
help out interest the reader. Be sure to get
the first number.

ASHLEY.

The Officers-The Dogs and lhe Justice
Most Prosperous Business Captured.
Ashley is still on earth and enjoying the
that this season of prosperity may continue
our "village dads" are retrenching. They
began where in their judgment ii would do
the least harm. First, they closed our schools,
giving our several hundred pupils opportun-
ity TO fish, dig leeks, and raise cain during
the whole summer. Next they consolidated
the offices of marshal, health officer, and
pound master, fixing the salary at $50 per
year. One of our prominent professional
men received the said lucrative and honora-
BILE Office While this is not as good as Il
postoffice appointment, there not being post
offices enough to go around, smaller crumbs
will help.-The village is painfully
healthy, and crime and disaster are reduced
to a minimum, and we believe it would re-
main so were it not for little unpleasantness
which has arisen between our "village dads"
and the village justice. The good esquire
issued his writs and punished transgressors
by filming them literally and turning the
money into the village treasury, which act
pleased the dads" greatly until IT so hap
pened one day that the accused party was
duly acquitted by jury and the esquire and
jury presented their bills to the dads, +"
whereupon il suddenly dawned upon the wise
council that our village ordinances were all
void; hence they could not pay any moneys
out of the treasury to justice and jury. But
as the justice could not understand what
kind of law the village was controlled by,
that would allow the treasurer to receive the
money but not pay it out, he promptly mott
fled the dads" that, when the village wanted
another criminal punished they must give
him bail for costs, as he did not regard the
village OF Ashley good pay. Hence the
future looks bright for criminals, for viii
lage without schools or courts must be a
a criminals paradise. Bot we have another
trouble to contend with greater than these
and that is.the avuses of Bannister, not con-
tent with coming up here last spring and
capturing all of the township offices, they
had no sooner got installed in the offices
than they, in true democratic style, mar
shalled their clan on the borders of our viii
lage and demanded that we surrender to
them either our postoffice or our saloon,
they preferred the latter. We had suffered
