Tn order to allow all hands eon '* • ted with the Georgiana little re- T ttiiou from buKincon, and to par- : *■ inate in the usual festivities of the * /.iday aeaaon. we will issue no paper | at week, except local sheets to tlixe advertising. Our next regu-, lur iseite will be on Thursday, Jan. 3. , IHS2, and weekly thereafter, and . - • intend to give our subscribers a w re readable paper than heretofore. ■ »■ bauking our friends for the liberal ••npport in the past, and wishing them • Merry Christmas and a Happy New } ear, we bid them adieu "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 wf this section. MYKIM&. lIVICE. 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 of sale, we must content ourselves by I merely mentioning the distance of the flrm. In all probability the rea der* of the Georgian will be ac quainted with particulars in a future fwrr. Look ftrrTt I 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 sissippi, Mis <>uri. North Carolina, ■South Carolina, Virginia, and West Viiginia, would gain one each; Kan sas would gain three, and Texas four members. So that this apportion ment would give n net of twenty sev en members—fourteen from the North and thirteen from the South. rwi’r r rußio s AND COTTAGE GARDENER.

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 pis your I'un. READ THIS GIRLS. Learn to darn stockings neatly and then always see that your own are in order. Do not let a button be off your shoes a minute longer than needful. . Lt takes just about a minute to sew | one on, and oh, how much neater a lout looks iu a trimly buttoned boot that it does in a lop-sided affair with half the buttons off. Every girl should make the simple articles of clothing. We know a little Miss of seven who could do all this aud who also made the whole of a blue calico dress for herself, ami pieced a large bed quilt. She was not an over taxed child, either, but a merry, lumping in dulged, only daughter. But she was “smart,” and she did not die young, either, Indeed, we have seldom known children 100 smart to live.” Very few ever die of that complaint, what ever their grandmothers may think. .

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. **» 4 I —_ Our young friends have head of pa- i liudroues—words or lines that read j and spell the same backward as for-1 ward.
