| Excessive'cold and wet weather and she
scarcity of money is all the talk nowadays.
We came nearer OF making failure oil
crops last year than we ever have before
part on account of hail on the 18th OF
June, which stripped everything green o.
its foliage. We have not enough morey
provisions nor clothing Ito run US for an.
other year, but, we intend to economic
for the occasion, both in eating and wear
ing. We will fry the meat fer breakfast
eat the gravy, boil the same meat with peas
for dinner and eat milk and corn bread for
supper, and, as for clothing, we will wear
our old last years clothing if we have to
use the Cleveland badge on the seat, knees
and elbows.
Oat sowing, corn planting and road
working are all on US at one time. We
did hope that the Ordinary would arrange
with Mr.. Charlie Johns to change the road
so we might 90 around the steep rocky
hill. We think Mr. Johns proposition
is fair. AS the road is for always or Longs
er, 1t will be much better road no longer,
while it will compel Mr.. Johns to take in
his pasture and make it smaller. As it
is only one hundred dollars. it would pay
the business men OF Marietta big invest
ment to pay for the road as that hill is a
great draw back on Marietta trade, as a
great many of our people haul their cotton
and buy their flour and fertilizers at Ac~
worth and Powder Springs, because they
fear that hill.
We regret that the weather was so we
cid rot expect Col. Nesbitt at Oregon
court ground on the 18th Saturday. Ne
wanted 10 meet him and ask him what
brand of fertilizer was allowed to use stone,
coal. cipders, or lead to make bag. eve
do not believe our Marietta guano bows
would use it, We hear he was there and
said that they all used it and it was right.
1t that be the case we are for the man for
the next General Assembly who will pledge
himself to abolish the offices OF Commits
sioner Of Agriculture and inspectors and
allow the commercial fertilizer to/sell on
their own merits. (Regardless of the Its
cation that will occur.) Also to be able
to tell us what good the last General AS
sembiy did the people at large.
Politics are badly mixed. We want to
ask where are WEI The Populsts adopted
platform and the Democrats took up one
half and the Republicans the other half,
except the railroad plank and it appears
that the U. S. or U. s. Court has control
of most of the railroad planks.
