A PonuInr Delusion.

"Did you read this, dear?" said Mrs Grigsby to Orlando the other night, "It's a strange case. A harmless lunatio imagines that he's grain of corn and will not go into the yard lest chicken eat him. Isn't it an odd delusion?'

proceeded to select 3 ticket with the
following result, viz, For senator from
this material district, Hon r. Z.
Dawson Representative, L. J. Bos-
well and VIM, FL. Freeman, and the
same county officers.
This is only change in Representa-
tive, Hon. Dawson having represented
this county two terms in the lower
house and having given his people
such satisfaction he was selected to go
up higher, and as Col. Boswell had
only served one term and he too had
| been such a faithful representative. he
was renominated. Mr.. VIM. Fl. Free
man, the other nominee for represen-
tative is comparatively q young man
of sterling worth and integrity, that
his people have called him to leave the
saw mill and the plow and to try his
hand at perfecting the laws of the
land that we may have good and whole
some laws over us.
The present county officers were
endorsed for another term and with
fattering opportunities for reelection.
After the selecting Of the committee
and the endorsement By mass nesting,
| the doors OF the court house were
thrown wide open for the public and q
whoop at the window announced the
Hon. j. r. Hogan TO speak. It brought
| the crowds il and there were some who
were turned away because Of the over
flow.

I should even attempt to give his

good. We are glad to state that the
p&rty IN Greene has made friends and
are still making friends, and it's record
for two years is such that will make
more friends in future, We expect to
give Hon. J. R, Hogan a good majority
for governor and to get coed men in
the capitol.

that it has added much to the strength
OF our cause and aided largely in estab-
fishing for Jackson county the reputa-
ton Of being one Of the banner Popu-
list counties Of Georgia. The Econo-
mist has had the support and encour-
agoment Of its aartY-a party compos-

felt to be right as any body Of men who
ever espoused q righteous one. Their
loyalty to principle, their determine
ton and zeal enabled them to attack
the fortifications of democracy, which
were thought by the leaders of that
party to be impregnsble, with their
modern Vaccinations and disgraceful
and uncivilized implements Of warfare,
They snenced every gun and marched
VIGOROUSLY into the possession Of tina

such noble and brave following. 1t
delights in espousing the cause Of men
who are fighting for principles that
taey hold so sacred they dare to stand
by them under all circumstances and
make sacrifices for their triumph.
There are few Populists in the State
but have made these sacrifices and
made them cheerfully. There are few
who viii fail to make them still and
feel the better bv doing so. Then talk
a5out Populists faltaring or deserving a
cause they know to be just and right

Brave men always stand by their flag

thousands of such men who have pied

Then sustain your manhood, recog-
