T. GAST, Editor NATIONAL TICKET For President, Grover Cleveland of New York For Vice-President Allan G. Thurman, of Ohio For Congress, Sixth Congressional District – Hon. John H. Bankhead -----------(National political commentary)---------------- Col. J. H. ESTILL has sold the Savannah Morning News to a stock Company to be known as “The Morning News Company”……. THEY DISCHARGE THE WHEEL EDITOR FOR HOWLING FOR HARRISON AND MORTON We learn that the editor of the State Wheel has been discharged for advocating Harrison and Morton and have substituted a democrat in his stead. This is a good move and in the right direction, and we are proud to hear of one Democratic move being made in that “grand order.” …………. DEMOCRATIC POLICY WE MUST UNITE IF WE WOULD BUILD UP Our county is gradually coming up, still there is a great work yet to be done, and while her future destiny depends on the action of the citizens, let each and every one use all diligence in building up and bringing her to the front. There is a great work for the farmers of this country to do, and until you unite on a more systematic mode of cultivating your farms you need not expect a very great progress. It is true that your farming lands are not as fertile as in other countries, but almost any kind of grain fruits or grasses can be grown successfully in this country. And if the farmers would unite in a “non-political” Farmers Society, meet and exchange ideas, as to the best mode of farming, stock raising, grass growing, &c, and each man try to excel his neighbor in the great art of farming, there would surely be a very great change in the affairs of our county. We think a great many of the farmers have made a wrong move in the direction of uniting, and have to themselves in the wrong pew for their own interest or in other words, they have neglected to a great extent their farming interest, and got jangled up among office seekers in a political interest “or trick”. A great many good citizens joined that “grand and noble order,” known as the National agricultural Wheel, being no doubt that it was just as represented, and just what the farmers needed, and was told by th leaders that they were going to do wonderful things something for the farmers, and if they didn’t join, they could not reap any of the great benefits that would arise from the organization. So they joined. And sure enough the leaders have done something for them. But was it the right thing? Was it something to aid in building up the laboring people and the interest of the country, or was it in the interest of the office seekers? It certainly was not for the good of the farmers. The Wheel has been rolling in this county for two years and if it has ever done anything to building up the country, or help the laboring people or anything else, except demoralize the people we have failed to see it.

A KILLING AT DAY’S GAP On Sunday last, about 12 o’clock news reached here of a shooting affray at Day’s Gap in this county in which Messrs. DOCK ODOM and JAMES GURGANUS were shot and seriously wounded. Later reports only confirmed the sad tidings. Many conflicting reports are in circulation as to the cause of the shooting, and until it is judicially investigated we prefer not expressing an opinion in the matter, not wishing to d o an injustice to any of the parties. The facts of the matter appear to be about as follows: Mr. O. B. WILLIAMSON, who was Marshal of Day’s Gap had a warrant for the arrest of Mr. GARGANUS and summoned Mr. LEE WILLIAMS to assist him. They proceeded to GURGANUS home and attempted to arrest him…………….[Ex] Turn which way they may, the Republicans are in a bad fix……….

THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE COUNTY The books of the tax-assessor show that the county financially is in a healthy condition and on the wheels of progress. The taxable property in the county for the year 1887 amounted to $626,200. The taxable property for the present year amounts to $782,568. This shows an increase of taxable property of $156,368. It is estimated that the taxes levied by the court for the present year will pay all the debts of the county and defray the current expenses for this year. This is a good showing for the county and speaks well for the Administration. FERNBANK HIGH SCHOOL - Normal and Didactic, Primary and Advanced W. A. DUNN, Principal.
