The Schley County News Thursday, Novemebr 3, 1892 No. 6 NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC During the short time we have been running the News, no one thing connected with its management has given us half as much annoyance as the collection of legal advertising fees. Hence we hereby give notice that after the first day of December, 1892, no legal advertisement will be accepted without the requisite fee accompanies the copy for same. Sec. 3704 of the code fixes the fee, and in no instance will the rate so arranged be discounted or otherwise modified. This rule will be strictly adhered to in the future, because our books now show a large sum which we have been unable to collect. Miss Eva Ogborn is visiting in Columbus. Mrs. J.R. Williams has been quite ill this week. Sheriff (James Franklin) Woods returned Friday from a short visit to Atlanta. Col. W.H. McCrory spent several days here this week, on business. Mrs. E.S. Baldwin is visiting her daughter, Mrs. G.W. Chipley, in Columbus. Mrs. J.E. Robinson, of Oglethorpe, is here visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. T.G. Cheney. Sheriff Woods left yesterday for Milledgeville, to cary Susan Passmore to the asylum. If you owe the News anything, come along and settle up. Don't wait to have a dunn sent you. Messrs. A. Allen, T.A. Collins and C.R. McCrory were among the visitors to Americus last Monday. Mr. W.P. Hornady, of Albany, spent last Saturday and Sunday here, with his relatives and many friends. Miss Emmie Baldwin returned home Friday evening from Columbus where she has been visiting relatives. Next week's Schley County News will record another third party defeat and another democratic victory. Col. C.R. McCrory returned Saturday from Atlanta, where he had been attending the convening of the legislature. To night will be held the regular monthly meeting of the masonic lodge. This oder is in a flourishing condition here. Miss Mary Hornady, Miss Pearl Hickey and Mr. J.E. Clark went to Americus Monday evening to attend the famous French drama, Paul Kauvar. The editor is under many obligations to Mr. J.N. Tison for some of his fine crop of sweet patatoes. They are the largest, sweetest and best we have seen this year. The hosts of friends, here and elsewhere, of Hon. C(harles) B.Hudson will be pleased to learn that all opposition to his re-election as Solicitor-General was soon withdrawn after the legislature met. A republican meeting was held in the court house last Friday night and we are told that some of the would-be leaders attempted to fuse with the third party, but the majority would not listen to such a proposition. Mr. B.F.Nyswonder was here a few hours Monday evening in the interest of the Garden Valley Fruit Company. Already several hundred dollars worth of stock has been taken here. Add your name to the list before the shares are all subscribed for. Our present county tax receiver remarked the other day: "If I ever was a democrat, I am sorry of it." We are weeping with him in this instance, because if he had not professed alliegiance to democracy he would not be occupying the position he now does. Blue Fred Wimberly was advertised--through the third party paper--to speak here last Saturday, but he did not come. A dozen or so of his worshipers were on hand to hear him and were sorely disappointed at his nonarrival. Thus we learn that the advertising columns of (unreadable). Yesterday was merchants day at the Chattahoochie Valley Exposition. A large crowd passed here on the early morning train enroute from Americus and other points, and were joined by all of our merchants who could spare the time from their business. Some of them have returned and report having had a royal time. The lord high chief of Schley county third partism remarked the other day in a general conversation that he would not die as long as there was a democrat on earth. We half way believe it, because he is such an insignificant, miserable little creature that the almighty wouldn't care to mess up his hands for the glory he'd get out of such a man's destruction. However, he'll be here till Gabriel blows his trumpet, if he lives that long. Democracy--the champion of the greatest good to the largest number, peace, happiness and prosperity. Republicanism--the party of the carpet-bagger, the plutocrat and corruptionist. Third partyism--the father of disruption, the mother of strife, the brother of anarchy, the twin sister of communism, and the first cousin to the devil. The stockholders in the so-called alliance store met here Tuesday and completed an organization. Their meetings as usual were all held behind closed doors, hence we know nothing of what was done other than that a sufficient amount of money was raised and that the third party--or alliance--store is now running full blast. There is a third party man in this county, a candidate for office, who vows he will kill any man caught in the act of wiping his (the third party man) razor on the News. This paper appreciates such a sentiment, coming from that source. According to the devine declaration, "whom the gods would destroy they first make mad." We have got him in the first rate condition to decapitate the tripple head of his political aspirations next January. We are not attending any fairs at all this season. The Macon fair favored us with a season ticket, but the Central Railroad overlooked the very important matter of sending us a pass over the road from Americus. On the other hand they kindly furnished us a pass to Columbus, but the managers of the doggoned exposition went back on us. If this is the way editors are treated in Georgia, we propose next year to run on an independent schedule. We'll start in time to get there on our own hook. The ?? accept this as our apology for failure to attend. Two young men, residents of this county, recently became tired of the parental roof and were seized with an unresistable longing to go out into the world and gather in the fabulous wealth which they imagined was waiting for them. Last Saturday their parents gave them lavishly of the contents of the scanty purse and, with heaven's blessing, told them to go their way. The next day two young men could be seen boarding the train; their faces wreathed in smiles, reflecting the tumultuous hub bub of joy and sweet anticipations that were rollicking through the confines of their distorted imagination. The rest is easy told. They turned home Tuesday and are likely to remain. LEGAL ADVERTISING Georgia Schley County All persons having demands against the estate of Thomas F.
