By reading your paper, and by
one of my reading King's

know how many sorts of people we
have the county.
I bare been that a good

other who are thirsty, and we
wish that we relieve them,
but we do not have but one plan

do much toward quenching; their
thirst or satisfying their ravings.
People sometimes move to our
little town to try our plan, and,
notwithstanding their thirst, they
are determined, and they stay and
stay, until after a while their thirst
to pass away and then

town.

Well, I intend writing
about all this, as we know so little
about these whiskey troubles. We
may not know how to suit all these
and if it don't suit
them it might hurt our chance to
get nominated.

an advanced prophecy that he will
make the one of the best
representative- that ever served
lie county this capacity.
Mr. is a very
vigorous man whatever be

misunderstood by those
who do not know him intimately,
but by bis own people, his neigh-

to intimate contact with him, be

and nominate this gentleman for
one of the places on

As the communication above
referred to aptly will be
the representative of no one

reasonably sure of a prosperous full

of cotton is a conservative
writing. The puce for fall
months is really we
expect.
Peaches brought into Georgia

and the smith's melons and
tables have netted two or three
times as much. The sooth's cotton
will give us half a million dollars

to buy next winter.
the west, corn prospects are
line, but wheat will be per cent
short. Bo the west will barely
hold its own.
In the east, the presidential
campaign and a slow iron and steel
market are depressing general
business.
Last winter the South's cotton
money went a long way to avert a
general panic. Now it looks as if the
south will again furnish the money
and the prosperity for the nation.
