"oUK COURSE.
As announced last week, we have
L«keu sole charge of our property,
and as it is a time-honored custom for
< lose who assume the duties and re
sponsibilities of public journalists, to
place themselves before their readers
tn a light that will ensure a proper
appreciation of their motives and in
(nations as such; therefore, in ac
knowledgement of the illness of such
a ns tom, we appear before the rend
ers of tfce Georgian, to-day, in the role
«f aalutatdtiana.
Without all the gush which is inci
dent to such effusions, we will merely
say that it will be our purpose to
make thn Georgian a paper for the
people. It will be a defender qf the
lightsand privileges of the masses—i
those who earn, by the sweat of their
brow, the bread that the millions eat.
It will be found antagonistic to any
and everything which bears a sem
blance to wrong, uo matter in what
quarter it appears. The Georgian, as
L«ret(Jfore, will be found neutral on uo
iouu Unit may aviso involving the pub
lic weal: its voice will be unlrain
♦ueled, and shall owe allegiance to no
s’abalustic ring, clique, or faction.
All the questions of the hour shall
lave full share of attention. The in
terests of our town and county shall
be watched with a vigilant eye, and
occasion will be permitted to pass
* unnoticed which would add to the pros
jterity of either.
In closing we would ask of our pa-
ItuUs ft CODtlDUftuca" of the patronage
heretofore so liberally bestowed upon
the Georgian, feeling confident that
war effort will be to make it a vehicle
general info: mation for the people

PUBLIC SUHOOIi.
AU teachers, trustees and pupils
would de well to note the following:
The last General Assembly changed
the law as to grading teachers, so that
all teachers will have to be re-exam
med aud re-licensed, before they can
•each in 1882.
Secondly, the Board of Educat ion for
Hall county, some lime ago, gave no
tica that schools for 1882 would com
mence nt such time as sub-trustees
would suggest. The trusters of six
or seven districts have requested that
their schools begin first Monday in
Januaiy. This will be impossible,
but It Is now believed that in those
districts the schools can commence
the second Monday in January, Un
less the trustees shall suggest to the
Board at once, it will tlx the lime for
the schools to begin in the other sub
districts.
Ixit teachers note and carry out the
instructions appended to their license.
These facts we publish for the good of
all, having learned them from the
Board.
We have not learned the action of
the Board of Education of Banks
countv, in this particular, but suppose
hi will be uolitied ut an early day.
FENCE OB NO FENCE.
There is hardly a subject in the State
that is receiving more consideration
than that of the fence question. In
nearly every county and district the
question is either now being discussed,
ur has been under consideration. In
many of them a vote bas been taken,
and the tickets endorsed ‘‘fence” or
“no fence” as the preference of the
voter dictated. The result of these
•lections has bcuu’one way about as
Often as another,and in every case the
vote very evenly divided. These facts,
within themselves, show that a re
form in fences is necessary. There is
hardly any doubt that the farmers
throughout the country would be glad
to have good fences, but the manner
of obtaining them at the least cost is
the problem. It is well known that
“no fence” means a good fence, and
where the contest is up, thu canvass
is generally conducted upon that prin
ciple. The •earcity of limber for ma- i
king rails iaalarming in some sections, i
•nd tt behooves the residents to come
to the rescue in the most plausible ‘
way possible.
Wallace A Moss is The new firm,
but as we are not advised as to the
extent of their Mock, or their terms i

merely mentioning the distance of

quainted with particulars in a future

NORTHEAST GEORGIA.
“The elosing decades of the present
century arc marked in the history of
the world for their unexampled mass,
ing of revolutionary discoveries and
startling events. No other equal pe
riod of historic time has been so
fraught with mat vejous conceptions,
profound advances irt philosophic and
scientific research, and surirlsing me.
chatdeal inventions, since the dawn
of civilization. Even within the pres
ent decade it may be truly said that a
greater number of surprising, scientific
discoveries has been developed and
announced than in any previous inter
val of a century in the world’s history.”
We quote the above to arise and
say that the foregoing words are fully
applicable to our own (Northeast
Georgia) country. Only eight or nine
years ago, where our own town of
i four or five hundred inhabitants now
j stands, was a wilderness. The couu
-1 try around it was sparsely dotted with
farm houses, inhabited by honest and
hard-toiling farmers, who could hard
ly get market for the fruits of their
honest toil. Now what is it? Where ,
the {loleinn owl made night hideous
with his dull “too-hoo,” in his secure
forest home, and the rattle-snake hiss- ■
ed in his safe cleft, to deter the passer-‘
by, we see beautiful villages; aud m-I
stead of the hoot of the owl, and the
hiss of the serpent, we bear the sound i
of the church-bells, aud the happy
songs of the multitude as they gather
to thank God for his goodness.
But let us come nearer home. We
spoke of “our town”—Belltun. It is
still in its iucip iency, as will be seen
from the above. Yet she has grown
so fast that we are ourselves astound
ed--not only in population has she
thus grown, but in point of commer
cial importance. At her founding, i l
was almost a prodigy to sec a hale <?
cotton for sale on l.»r stumpy streets.
Now, from Oct. to Dec. our smooth
streets are looming with v/agons load
ed with the valuable staple, aud our
depot agent’s book foots up from I,la-j
to 2,000 bales shipped a year.
Much of this is due to the great en
ergy of our industrious farmers, whose
actions have been slumbering on ac
count of an outlet. The great Air-
Line railroad has afforded them many
advantages, and remedied tlift defect,
and tiiey are on the high road to pros"
perity. We intend, in it future num'
bcr, to pursue the subject furl her, suf
(ice it to say for the present, however,
that we have yet the undeveloped
“garden spot” of the State, and we
most cordially invite all who are
in quest of homes to come to our vine
clad hills, where health, peace, and
prosperity reigns,
The next Congressional apportion
ment will I e a subject of no little im.
portalice in Congress thia winter.—
The bill before the last Congress, and
which failed of passing, raised the ra.
tio of representation from 135,425 to
154,764, giving an incre<sc of house
membership to 319. If this be av
cepted, the three Slates of Maine’
New Hampshire slid Vermont, would
each lose a member; Illinois, lowq,
Massivchusetts, Ohio, Pennsyliania,
Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky. Mis

■South Carolina, Virginia, and West
Viiginia, would gain one each; Kan
sas would gain three, and Texas four
members. So that this apportion

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Speeches and Bills. Senator Pendle- '
ton's Way. The Civil Service Me
nace. Socio-Political Recep
tions.
From ot’r r gruHr Correspondent
Washington, D. C., (
Dec. 17th. 1881. |
This has been a week of somewhat
desultory speech-making in the Sen
ate. and presenting innumerable bills
in the House.
Senators Pendleton and Hill spoke
or, the civil service reform question.
Senators Beck, Maxey, Anthony and
Garland had something to say nhout
the Presidential succession, in case of
the death, or disability of the Execu
tive. And Senator Sherman present
ed his three per cent, funding bill,
which, it is believed, will, with imma
terial modification, become a law, it
being essentially the same measure
that passed the House last session.
Il is somewhat amusing to see a
; Senator making a set speech. It is
I such a burlesque on Grey’s lines.—
: “ The applause of listening Senates to
command.” The Senate does every
thing but listen aud applune Jn'l'bo
! Senate dozes on the settees; it smokes
iu the cloak rooms; it goes down to
I the restaurant, and it treats the orator
with what a casual observer might
■ think disrespect. But the orator is
i quite indifferent to the indifference of
the Senate. He is speaking over and
i beyond them. His object is to spread
j his speech on the record, and to have
| it noticed by as many as possible of
] the eight or nine thousand journals of
[the United States. Senator Pendle
ton is not a brilliant speaker. His
rhetoric is somewhat verbose. He
lacks the nicest precision in his choice
of words. Tb'.’.l iuali or Edmunds can
I put in twice as much prickley infor
mation to the page. Then again,
civil service reform is not a subject
upon which the average Senator can
wax eloquent. Though of the most
pressing importance, it is dry and un
inviting. There is a faithless apathy
pervading political and official circles
with regard to the possibility of im
proving the present corrupt and per
nicious system. Tbs Ohio Senator
deserves praise fur the persistance
with which he besoigesthis biack wall
ed, aud apparently inexpugnable me
nace to free institutions.
Last week, Senators Lapham ami
Miller, of New York, had a brilliant
reception, given in their honor at
Marion s Hall, and, to-night, a like
reception will be given to Speaker
Keifer at Masonic Hall. Do you un
derstand the agency aud the object of
these mammoth *ta i»-poiili'al enter
tainment*? I will tell you. A num
ber of Government clerks, from New
York and from Ohio, Or I ftu .ie io
their places, and take this means of
introducing themselves to the new
Senators, ami to the most influential
man from Ohio. They w ish to strength
en their influence, because they know
that iutlcnco and not fitness is the ac
cepted qualification for office at these
headquatlers. This is, in brief, the
: civil service system of the United
States. Why did not Mr. Pendleton
make use ot these fresh conspicuous
instances iu his argument? Some
Senators are 100 gentle to live. One
good aryumentum ad hominem is worth
a tome of ponderous generalities. If
the argument hurts somebody, taut

FALLING LEAVES.
They arc falling slowly falling,
Thick upon the forest side—-
Severed from the noble brandies
Where they waved in beauteous pride.
They are falling in the valleys,
Where the early violets spring,
And the birds in sunny springtime
First their dulcet music ring.
They are falling, sadly falling,
Close beside our cottage door—
Pale and faded, like the loved ones
That have gone forever more.
They are falling, and the sunbeams
Shine in beauty soft around;
Yes, tile faded leaves are falling—
Failing on the grassy ground.
They are falling on the streamlot
Where the silver waters flow,
And upon its placid bosom
Onward with the waters go.
They are falling in the churchyard
Where our kindred sweetly sleep
Where the idle winds of summer
I Softly o’er the loved ones sweep.
' They are falling, ever falling,
j When the autumn breezes sigh—
. M lien the stars . n beauty glisten
Bright upon t’.ie midnight sky,
They are falling when the tempest
Moans like ocean's hollow roar—
VS hen the tuneless winds and billows
Sadly -sigh forevermore.
They are falling, they are falling,
While our saddened thoughts still go
To the sunny days of childhood.
In the dreamy long ago.
And their failed hues remind us
(.if the blighted hopes aud dresme—
Faded like like the falling leaflets
Cast upon the icy streams.

BOYS' RIGHTS,—BY BY A BOY.
Talk about the women, anti the dar
kies, ami the—the—all the rest of’em ;
none of ’em all arc half so badly used
as boys are. I know a lot, and can
give von all their names. Ask ’em
all. They'll tell you, to be a boy is
to be somebody without a right in the
world.
You’re to take all the sass that’s
I given to you, and give none back.
! ’cause you’re a bod. You are to pay
■ lull fare in the cars and omnibuses,
'cause you're a boy, and not a child;
and never have a seat, ’cause you’re
a hoy, ami not a man. Fat lady gets
in after it’s all full, ami looks about
her; everybody looks at you. Old
genl’emnn says, "My son,” reprov
ingly. Conductor says, "Come now.
you boy! ' You’ve paid your six-
I penoe. No matter, that's nothing.—
! i ou have been on your legs w ith bun
'dlesall day. Who cares, you’re a
I b >y. Now a horse has such aloud
I given him as he can carry, and a man
i won’t take any more than lie can
I walk under. Ask boys w hat grown
folks think they can enrrv. "There’s
no limit to it.
Who doesn’t know a boy who does
a man's work, and docs it well, for a
tenth of what a man would get for it ?
Who hasn't seen an advertisement for
;i boy who writes a good hand, under
stands accounts, is willing to make
himself useful, boards with his pa
rents, is trustworthy, no objections to
sitting up all night, no impudence
about him, the last recommendation*
required, aud two dollars a week
wages !
Ask hoys whether old folks don’t
make much fuss about snvh places
ns if they were doing you a favor that
would set you tq in life.
Who wants a boy anywhere? Y'onr
sisters don’t, in the. parlor Your
father don’t; he always asks if you’re
not wanted to do something some
where, You make your mother’s
bead ache every time you come near
her. Old ladies snap you up. Young
ladies hates boys. Young men tease
you, and give it to you if you tca.se
back. Other fellows,—it’s because
they’re aggrevated so, I know,—al
ways want to tight, if they don’t know
you; and when you get a black eye
and a lorn jacket, you hear of it al
home.
You look bach and wonder if you
ever were that pretty little fellow iu ‘
petticoats, that everybody stuffed with i
candy ; an.l you wonder whether you'll
ever be a man, to he liked by the \
girls, aud be treated politely by the '
other fellows, paid for your work, and
allowed to do as you choose. And
you make up your mind every day not
to be a boy any longer than you can
help it ; and bear your grandfather or
somebody complaining Unit there are i
"no boys now,” and wonder if they i
reiuvmbvr the life they led. that he ;
don't consider it as a subject of rejoic- ■
mg.
There's oulv one comfort in it all;
'boys will grow up, and when they do, 1
'they generally forget all they went
through in their youth, and make the i
boys of their day suffer just as they !
did.
