Newspaper Page Textn# I , Home Joubnal, the oonduct of its) editorial policy and tbe general di rection of its columns, which have for the past year been the task of the undersigned, are relinquished. It is deeply gratifying to be ena bled to say that throughout our exacting and responsible labors we have been conscious of the oordiai acquiescence, confidence and co operation of the proprietor and as sociate editor, while we hare been sustained tty tbe warm encourage ment and hearty moral support of an intelligent and discriminating public. It is an especially gratifying incident of this departure that we leave the Home Joubnal at tbe very crest of a success which we believe to be wholly without a par allel in tbe career of any other pub lication of its class in this State or elsewhere. Personally, this severance is not entirely pleasant. We have been blest by domestic surroundings and associations which of themselves were no small proportion of our re compense for the time it has been our fortune to abide iu Greenesboro ; and both here and elsewhere in tbe county we have been privileged to inscribe upon a tablet which will ever shine in our memory the names of many honest and earnest friends. If, therefore, we here have earned some warrant to their kindly remembrance, and shall be entitled to bear away with us into another sphere their valued good wishes, then indeed will a high ambition have been more than hap pily realized. Bismuth Milled. From tbe above it will be seen that Mr. Bismuth Miller, who as principal editor has for tbe past jear been associated with tbe Georgia Home Journal, retires from tbai position. We need not say to our many readers tbatduriug bis sojourn in Greenesboro Mr. J Miller baa made warm frieada bj bis earnest advocacy of correct principles and measures, and bis I zealous endeavors to promote tbe 1 best interests of Greene county \ and tbe State at large. A bold, | incisive and versatile writer, with large experience, few men are bet- ter qualified for successful jour nalism aud personal usefulness. Wherever his lot may be cast, he will be followed by the kindliest feelings and best wishes of bis late associates of the Home Journal and many attached friends. W. Addison Knowles. ANNOUNCEMENT. With this issue of each paper the publication of the Georgia Home Journal and the Greenesboro Her ald as separate and distinct news papers will cease. Believing it to be to their own interest and that it will conduce to tbe good of the people of Greene county, indi vidually and colleotively, the pro prietors of the two papers now ex isting in the county hv entered into an agreement and formed a partnership in business, by which the two papers become merged iuto one. Commencing with tbe first week in January, 1887, they will begin tbe publication of the com bfned paper under tbe name of The Herald and Journal. The Dames of subscriber* to either the Hove Journal or Her ald will be transferred to the new books, and they will receive the paper to the time their subscription expires. Those who are subscri bers to both papers, and have paid for each in advance, will have one subscription refunded, so that no loss will result to any one on ac count of the coalition. 5 The best features of both papers will be preserved and, as far as possible, improved upon in the new paper. It will be the high aim of the management to give the peo ple of Greene oouuty, and wher ever the paper shall circulate, a newspaper honest in purpose, clean in methods, elevated in tone, thor oughly and irrevocably Democratic in polities, progressive in spirit, •and fearless in forming and ex pressing opinions—the exponent ' of what is truest and beet in Editorially the paper will be ever ready to champion and earnestly §4vacate what is HMtitgl It) i*t light NMI lair tv j Bat ill*' field wlucu '.-..paper is primarily intended to fiUV-fully, successfully—is that of the county newspaper. Hence it will be espe cially devoted to Greene county— tbe development of its natural re sources ; the advancement of all itA interests—agricultural, commer cial, educational, moral; tbe aug mentation of its wealth and pops lation—in short, a bright, news!) county paper that shall meet fully the wants of an intelligent, enter prising people. In the further ance of this end every section of the county will be represented in its columns, which will teem with live, interesting local news. With this brief enunciation of principles and policy, tbe new pa per will go forth confident of the hearty support and substantial en couragement of tbe entire county— a welcome weekly visitor, it is hoped, to every borne. We have faith to believe that the union of the two papers will be received with favor by the people of tbe county, and that the proposition to relieve them of the burden of sup porting two papers where but only one is necessary will be justly ap preciated. Business men and ad vertisers will see at a glance tbe great advantages which one paper will offer to them ; and proportion ately tbe individual citizen, pay ing no more than a single subscrip tion, will be benefited, It is with no misgivings, therefore, that the new management appeals to the patrons of tbe old papers to unite in a cordial sympathy and earnest support of The Herald and Journal— to lend a willing assis tance in making it the best county paper in Middle Georgia. W. Addison Knowles. William E Reynolds. CHRISTMAS.” Tomorrow, December 25. the Christian world will in varied and numerous forms commemorate 'the auniversarjr of tbe birth of tbe Mao of Sorrows. The pul pit will, of coarse, recognize in this re currence new and assuring triumphs jfor the Church, of whose growth 1 and progress the spiritual feature of the celebration is a precious symbol; and tbe press, whether secular or clerical, will as usual realize that it is an occasion fitting for thoughtful aud tender commentary. Nevertheless, to the vast pro portion of those who people the earth the signification of the day will be unknown in faot; while by far too many who are familiar with its religions import it will be re garded as a mere season for aim less or immoderate joy. That deep down within its inspiration lay the enduring Truth on which tbe hope and 'faith of human redemption are pillowed, is the vital, and, there fore, the most solemn and beauti ful aspect in which the day will be viewed by the pious and the pensive. Yet for the young, the tbonghtless, and even the frivolous, it will come with joyous recotn- penses. To the evil-thinking and evil-doing alone it is a rftes no?i. That little children should seem to claim.it as all their own, is par donable, since He whose natal ad vent. they contemplate was not only himself a child, but was a companion of children, and died as well for them as for others. We do not recall the absolute origin of gift making as a custom of Cbristmastide; but siDce it is a season of rejoicing, of unconstrain ed fellowships and of fireside reunion with all sbades of civil ized society, it is easy enough to reason that souvenirs of these annual feasts, in the form of presents, would have sprung in to existence without meditation or intention, and that they oould thus iu time have founded a universal custom such as that which pre vails at this day. There iaonecbsraeteristieiof this particular day which is absent in other general festivals of the years. It is the retroepective characteris tic, At ths New Year we generally j turn oar thoughts toward the fa i turs.

Apart altogether from its | other suggestions, we doubt not that in this retrospective tendency consists one of the dearest charms ot tbe interval. But on tomorrow all responses will not be alike to these inquir- j ings, nor will ail eyes view the on recallable year through indentical lenses. “Tbe poor ye have always with you." Christmas, with all its burden of worldly benisons, brings more than charity, if it brings at all, to the unfortunate. • a stricken and sorrowing many a broken spirit, fling iij despairing soul, will tomor mingle their woful plaints against the cruel partiality of fate; and yet the laughter of a favored child.may ripple forth where pit eous wails can never reach ! Such is tbe sum of all this life. Let, then, the poor despair not, and the rich not boast. It takes the poor and the rich together to make a world like ours. Let us trust, for our part, that, as the years go on and grow nobler, there may befall the afflicted and neg lected a more equal chance in tbe temporal battle we all must wage while here. And let us trust that the capable and charitable will deem this season to be a cho sen and appropriate one for the offices of beneficent dispensation. The Home Journal tenders to all mankind its good will. To its hosts of friends and patrons it goes a step farther, and wishes a Merry Christmas. THE PARTY OUTLOOK. There are many newspapers that honestly differ from tbe President in respect to his civil service methods, and there are others, of a cantankerous character, which could not agree with anybody or anything. There is still another, and by far tbe most conservative and farseeing class of public prints, which consistently uphold tbe President’s policy as an en tirety, albeit they are constrained to concede that, being human, be must of necessity sometimes fall into error. Dot all of t hose classes of critics must be agreed upon the one point that Mr. Cleveland is putting the National Democracy on a footing where it will remaiu through the decades. Sensible and thoughtful observers can see that the party contests are quite devoid of the overshadowing un certainties that marked them only a few years ago, especially in the great States Norlh and West. New York has gone Democratic at four successive elections. This was unknown before Mr. Cleveland rose into notice. The apparent error of a oertain number of newspapers opposed to tbe administration is that they suppose Democrats grow in the woods, instead of being proselyted from other organizations. The wisdom of the President is shown in bis methods of recruiting voters to the Democratic party by this system of proselytism. When we state that Mr. Cleve land is the first President in mem ory whose popularity secured to the second year of his term a House of Representatives in party accord with the administration, we are answered that it is “Cleveland’s luck.” Very well. But it is ‘ Dem ocratic luck,” too. Even Pierce, in 1854, lost the lower house of Cougress, and Buchanan’s whole term was confronted by a Free Soil House of Reprentatives. More than this, the the United States Senate is a tie for the first time in onr history, and we are without a Vice-President of the United States to cast the deciding vote. The consequence is that the Senate is virtually by this state of things Democratic or it is dead-locked. This is more of “Cleveland’s luck." For a particular order of politi cal critics to which we have allud ed, the last number of Fuck has this to say: “There is a woful job ahead for aome of our esteemed contempora ries when they open their eyes to ths fact that tbs people srs not with them in their attacks on ths Administration sud ths principle of Civil Hervioe Reform. That dsy of awskeuiug bss got to oome, sooner or later, snd then there will lie weeping snd wsiling sud gnash iug of teeth, snd a vast deal of, backlog sud filling to bs done in su unpleasantly short space of timer has got to be done, and tlmu it'ular E. <*.* will IrMu few self-seeking politicians and their henchmen. These political bandits do not in any sense repre sent tbe people, and every day makes their supprwt less and less valuable. What the people want of the administration is a wise and honest management of the public business. And that is what they have got from Mr. Cleveland.” LEMON ELIXIR. A Pleasant Lemon Dink.
