We take the following extract from la. letter to Mr. C. C. Kiser from Mr. J. L. Worley, who recently left this lcounty. It is written from near Long i Branch, Texas, Feb. 24th, 1885 : “We are 18 miles from Henderson, where the land is fine and the timber the finest I ever saw. It is a good stock country. Cattle live entirely on the range. They look much bet ter than many corn-fed Georgia colts. The soil here is a black sandy loam. The formation seems to be sand al most entirely. The well we use wa ter out of is nearly forty feet deep and is sand all the way. The water rises off a nice white sand. I saw one spring in the field on the place we live on that rises out of nice white sand and I am told that the water is good. The bottoms here are wide and banks of the creek are high, ten feet deep to the water. The bottom lands are set in cane which answers for winter pasture. The summer range is good. Cattle get very fat here during the summer which ena bles them to stand the winter on cane. There are some alligators here. There was one killed a few miles from this place a few days be fore we got here that measured nine feet. Afew deer, and coons are more plentiful than rabbits are in Georgia. I have not seen any game of any kind since I came here. If we had a railroad near here and a market for the timber, this would be as good a country as any in Amer ica. There is enough white oak and hickory on 20 acres here to run Brumby’s Chair Factory two years and it is better than they can get ‘where they ate. This is the finest timbered country I ever saw. Cot ton, corn and oats do well here. Wheat does not do well, in fact they do not attempt to raiseit. Thisis a land of turnips and potatoes. They do well here. It isas good for pota toes as any part of South Georgia and perhaps better.” [For The Marietta Journal. DON'T BORROW TROUBLE. It is possible that during this year there may be many miserable people. This has always been so, and will be to the end of time. Some are always miserable from the fault of others and some from their own fault; some be cause their only happiness is in be ing miserable, and some mnobody knows why. There is a good deal of misery that cannot be helped, but, on the other hand, there is much that can be turned into joy if people will orly take the trouble to make the honest attempt to toss it topsy-turvy. 1 There are many people miserable who might just as well be happy. There are those who allow their minds to dwell on awful forebodings of evil that never come to pass and never were going to. There are some who are so careless and without system in their daily work that they turn labor into trouble and the business of the day into misery. There are some who never rightly learned how to eat, to sleep, or to take exercise. Every meal means anguish or dissatistac tion; every effort at slumber is un casy torment and vexatious night mare; and every mile walked is a burden of fatigue. To all such people we say, ‘“don’t borrow trouble.” Why not tip your misery overboard and begin to enjoy life 7 Why not try to be happy for at least this year? If you have doubts, and burdens, and distresses, and gloomy thoughts, do them all up in a bundle and roll them away. If you have been taxing brain and body too severely, let up on them and quit making slaves of them. If daily toil has been grim and unven tilated bondage, throw open the win dows and let in the sunshine. Open your mouth with an occasional hearty laugh, and fill your lungs with large draughts of pure air. Be of good cheer. Let the remainder of this year be one of growth and of glad ‘ncss. Set out with a determination to be happy yourselves, and to make as many other people happy as you can. There are better and brighter days coming. Life is too short to spend it in gloom, and sorrow, and apprehension of possible disaster. Lift up your heads and rejoice. We all have had many mercies to be thankful for and the catalogue is not yet exhausted. Begin now, to look on the bright side and remember, “Every cloud has a silver lining.” Don’t borrow trouble, resolve to be cheerful, from now, to the last mo ment of closing December. Let us find our sweetest comfort In the biessings of the day, With a patient hand removing All the briars from our way, C. B, G, PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S INAUGU RAL ADDRESS. Ferrow Crrmizens: In the pres ence of this vast assemblage of my countrymen lam about to supplement and seal by the oath which I shall take the manifestation of a great and free people. In the exercise of their power and right of self-government they have committed to one of their fellow citizens a supreme and sacred trust and he here consecrates himself to their service. This impressive ceremony adds little to the solemn sense of responsibility with which I contemplate the duty I owe to all the people of the land. Nothing can re lieve me from the anxiety, lest by any act of mine their interests may suffer, ‘and nothing is needed to strengthen ‘my resolution to engage every facul ‘ty and effort in the promotion of their welfare. Amid the din of party strife ‘the people’s choice was made, but its attendant circumstances demonstra ‘ted anew the strength and safety of a }govermuent by the people. In each succeeding year it more clearly ap pears that our Democratic principle needs no apology and that in its fear less and taithful application is to be found the surest gurantee of good government, but the best results in the operations of a government, wherein every citizen has a share, largely depend upon a proper limita tion of a purely partisan zeal and ef fort, and a correct appreciation of the time when the heat of the partisan should be merged in the patriotism of the citizen. To-day the executive branch of the government is trausfer red to a new keeping, but this is still the government of all the people, and it should be none the less an object of their affectionate solicitude. At this hour the animosities of political strife, the bitterness of partisan de feat and the exultation of partisan triumph should be supplanted by an ungrudging acquiescense in the pop ular will and a sober, conscientious concern for the general weal. More over, if from this hour we cheerfully and honestly abandon all sectional prejudice and distrust and determine with manly confidence in one anoth er to work out harmoniously the achievements of our national destiny, we shall deserve to realize all the benefits which our happy form of government can bestow. On this au spicious occasion we may well renew the pledge of our devotion to the con stitution, which launched by the founders of the republic and conse crated by their prayers and patriotic devotion, has for almost a century borne the hopes and the aspirations of a great people through prosperity and peace, and through the shock of foreign conflicts and the perils of do mestic strife and vicissitudes. By the Father of His Country our con stitution was commended for adop tion as “the result of a spirit of amity and mutual concession.” In that ‘same spirit it should be administered in order to promote the lasting wel l fare of country and to secure the full measure of its priceless benefits to us !and to those who will succeed to the 1 blessings of our national life. The large variety of diverse and competing interests subject to Feder al control, persistently seeking the recognition of their claims, need give us no fear that “the greatest good to ‘the greatest number” will fail to be ‘accomplished if the halls of national ilegislation, that spirit of amity and ‘mutual concession shall prevail in i which the constitution had its birth. If this involves the surrender or post ponement of private interests or the abandoment of local advantages com pensation will be found in the assur ance that the common interest is subserved and the general welfare advanced. In the discharge of my official duty I shall endeavor to be | guided by a just and unrestrained construction of the constitution, a careful observance of the distinction between the powers granted to the Federal government and those reserv ed to the States or the people, and by a cautious appreciation of those func tions which by the constituton and laws have been especially assigned to the executive branch of the govern ment, but he who takes the oath to' preserve, protect, and defend the con stitution of the United States only assumes the solemn obligation which every patriotic citizen on the farm, in the workshop, in the busy marts of trade and every where should share with him. The constitution which prescribes his oath, my countrymen, is yours; the government you have chosen for a time is yours; the suf frage which executes the will of the freeman is yours; the laws and the entire scheme of our civil rule from the town meeting to the State capi tols and the national capitol is yours. Your every voter, as well as the chief magistrate, under the same high sanction, though in a diffevent sphere exercises a public trust. Nor is this all. Every citizen owes to the coun try a vigilant watch and close scruti ny of its public servants and a fair and reasonable estimate of their fidel ity and usefulness. Thus is the peo ple’s will impressed upon the whole framework of our civil polity—mu nicipal, state and federal,—and this is the price of our liberty and the in spiration of our faithin the republic. It is the duty of those serving the people in public places to closely lim it public expeditures to the actual needs of the government, economical ly administered, because this is the right of the government to exact a tribute trom the earnings of labor or the property of the citizen, and because public extravagance begets extravagance among the people. We should never be ashamed of the sim plicity and prudential economies which are best suited to the operation of a republican form of government and most compatible with the mission of the American people. Those who are selected for a limited time to manage public affairs are still of the people and may do much by their ex ample to encourage, consistently with the dignity of their official functions, ‘that plain way of life which among their fellow citizens aids integrity and promotes thrift and industry. The genius of our institutions, the needs of our people in the home life, and the attention which is demanded for the settlement and development of the resources of our vast territory, dictate the scrupulous avoidance of any departure from that foreign poli cy commended by the history, the traditions and the prosperity of our republic. Itis the policy of inde pendence favored by our position and defended by our known love of jus tice and by our power. It is the pol icy of neutrality, rejecting any share in foreign broils and ambitions upon other continents and repelling their intrusion here. Itis the policy of Monroe and of Washington and Jef ferson : “Peace, commerce and hon est friendship with all nations—en tangling alliances with none.” A due regard for the interests and prosperity of all the people demands that our finances shall be established upon such a sound and sensible basis as shall secure the safety and confi dence of business interests and make the wages of labor sure and steady, and that our system of revenue shall be so adjusted as to relieve the peo ple from unnecessary taxation, hav ing a due regard to the interests of capital interested and workingmen employed by American industries, and preventing the accumulation of a surplus in the treasury to tempt ex travagance and waste. Care for the property of the nation } and for the needs of futuge settlers require that the public domain should be protected from purloining schemes and unlawful occupation. The conscience of the people de mands that the Indians within our boundaries shall be fairly and hon estly treated as wards of the govern ment, and their ed:ecation and civili zation promoted, with a view to their ultimate citizenship, and that polyg amy in the Territories destructive of the family relation and offensive to the moral sense of the civilized world, shall be repressed. The laws should be rigidly enfore ed which prohibit the immigration of a servile class to compete with Amer ican labor with no intention of ac quiring citizenship and bringing with them and retaining customs and hab its repugnant to our civilization. The people demand reform in the administration of the governm2nt and the application of business principles to public affairs. As a means to this end, civil service reform should be in good faith enforced. Our citizens have the right to protection from the incompetency of public employes, who hold their places solely as the reward of partizan service, and from the corrupting influence of those who promise and those who expect such rewards, and those who worthily seek public employment have the right to insist that merit and competency shall be recognized instead of party subserviency of the surrender of hon est political belief. In the adminis tration of a government pledged to ‘do equal and exact justice to all men, there should be no pretext for anxie ty touching the protection of the freedmen in their rights or their se curity in the enjoyment of the privi leges of the constitution and its amendments. All discussions as to their fitness for the places accorded to them as American people is idle and unprofitable, except as it sug gests the necessity for their improve ment. The fact that they are citizens entitles them to all the rights to that relation and charges them with all its duties, obligations and responsibili ties. @The Marietts Jonrnal, ———-%——*__“__fi_—————— ESTABLISHED IN 1866. ————m OFFIOIAL JOURNAL OF THE OITY AND OOUNTY. % }Y' ‘E' %I{ Alggé{‘ }Editors and Prop's, % JOB PRINTING in all styles of the art neatly, promptly and cheaply executed Give us a trial and see. Nt). 12 These topics and the constant and ever varying wants of an active and enterprising population may well re ceive the attention and the patriotic endeavor of all who make and exe cute the Federal laws. Our duties are practical and callfor industrious application, an intelligent percepticn of the claims of public office, and above all, a firm determination by united action to secure to all the peo ple of the land the full benefits of the best form of government ever vouch safed to man. And let us not trust to human effort alone, but, humbly acknowledging the power, and good ness of Almighty God who presides over the destiny of nations, and who has at times been revealed in our country’s history, let us invoke His aid and blessing upon our labors. THE APPLAUSE from the immense crowd was frequent and deafening. TAKING THE OATH OF OFFICE. ~ Then turning to the Chief Justice and bowing President Cleveland said: “I am now prepared to take the oath ‘prescribed by law.” As the Chief Justice arose to administer the oath, the vast assemblage cheered again and again. The President elect stood facing the Chief Justice with the crowd on his right. Chief Clerk McKinney of the Supreme Court stood just to the side of Mr. Cleveland, and held a Bi ble upon which the oath wasadminis tered, the President-elect also hold ing it with his right hand. The Bi« ble used is a small morocco covered, gilt edge volume, pretty well worn. It is the Bible which Mr. Cleveland’s mother gave him when he left home as a young man, and at his special re quest the committee ot arrangements had it in readiness for the ceremony. Chief Justice Waite was the firstto shake hands with him and congratu late him. Then next came Ex-Pres ident Arthur, Clerk McKinney and Senator Sherman. LADY OF THE WHITE HOUSE. It is announced that Miss R. E. Cleveland, sister of the President, will be mistress of the White House. She is described as good looking, with an intelligent face and head, but not pretty, neat but plain in her dress, and, as ex-Governor Cornell says, “a perfect dictionary—one of the bright est women he ever met.” A dis patch from Albany to the Louisville Courier-Journal says: “She has for along time been a lecturer by profession, her speciality being educational subjects, and her audiences usually the pupils of girls’ schools. She has, for example, just lectured at the Elmira Seminary, on “Joan of Arc.” She speaks several languages, is a constant reader, is ex ceptionably well informed in history and the arts, and has that degree of confidence in herself and the knowl edge she possesses to be able to firm ly take the lead in conversation, and to hold it against the bright men and women who have come in contact with her. Yet in some respects she is notably shy, and always so modest and amiable as to win friends easily and quickly.” A Note of Warning to Suffering Humana ity. We feel that we would be wanting in the duty we owe to suffering hu manity if we did not sound a note of warning in regard to the use of Mer cury and other poisonous minerals in the treatment of Blood and Skin Dis eases. If the reader could see the horrible suffering, the awful wrecks of human health and happiness, shown by our correspondence with those who have been dosed with these mineral poisons, he would shudder with horror. Arsenic, Mercury, An timony, and lodide of Potassium are some of the remedies most ordinarily used for these diseases, and they are all porsoN. Do not take these poisons. They might dry up your disease for a few days, and with it you will have Mercurial Rheumatism, which may bring you years of torture. The Mer cury seems to sink into the bones, and the Potash drives the Poison in to the system, only to lurk there and attack the tender organs of the body, as the lungs, the throat, the nasal or gans and stomach. Hundreds of peo ple have been made deaf, and a great ‘many blind, by the use of Mercury and Potash Mixtures gotten up in imitation of our Specific. A few grains of sugar of lead dropped into a glass of these imitations will cause the poisonous drugs to fall to the bot tom, and show the danger of using them. Swift’'s Specific is entirely vegetable, and is the best tonic for delicate ladies and children and old people in the world. Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mail ed free.
