public Improvement matters, including
water works, electric light works and
sewerage systems, ana reports Tor Jne

Florida, one in Louisiana, one in Mis-
souri,, one in Tennessee, seven in Texas,
two in Virginia and one in Kentucky.

terprises reported for the week are a $780,
600 lumber company in Maryland, 500

work.

totaccouist, at 1877 Decatur street was

termined TO return TO her. But when he
put in mis- appearance, the wife who had
taken up the business where he left off

ELLINGTON AT JEsUP.
His Speech Largely Plea for Sub
scribers to His Paper.

Jesup, Ga, March 15.-Hon. c. II. FL
ington, president of the state farmers
alliance, addressed a small crowd at
the court house here to-day. The
reason of the small attendance is
attributed to the alliance men in this
county taking Tom Watsons third party
paper instead of the alliance organ, which
contains notices Of Mr., Ellington's APP
pointments. His speech was non-partisan
and solely in the interests of the order Of
which he is president. lie urged the far
mers to maintain the organization regard
less of politics, and said that he wanted
every farmer to become a member
whether he voted the populist,
republican or democratic ticket.
If the populists had every Office in the
gift of the people from President to consta-
bic the farmers could not get that relief
they were demanding without the ALI
ance. He advised the members to sub
scribe for the alliance paper and keep in
formed on what the organization was do
ing. He added that he put his notices in
that paper and not in Tom Watson's.
However, he was a subscriber TO Tom
WatsOn's paper. He concluded by saying
that he could live by the principles of the
alliance, and would die by them, and
asked those of the audience that would
do likewise TO rise. Ten stood up
