Gen. Harrison has ar ived safely
in Washington,and while many friends
are reading this iame of the News
he will be inaugurated president of
the United States.
MARCH.
The war month, named by t?omu*
lus in honor of Mars, the god of
war. Originally it was the first month
of the year, but the Romans made it
third, placing January first. It is
I.enten month, called by the early
Saxons ‘lenet-monat,’ length-month,
because the days rapidly lengthen
this month, hence the word Lent and
Lenten.
Tt is the equinoctial month, as the
sun crosses the equinox on its jour¬
ney north in this month. It is the
Centennial month of our Constitution¬
al history,as the Constitution of the
Uirted States was adopted in March
1789. It is the inaugural month, as
. our presidents are inaugurated this
month. It is the first of the spring
months, the loveliest of the seasons.
OUR BOYS.
We cannot be too careful concern¬
ing the character of the literature in
the hands of our boys. What they
read makes dee}) impressions, aids in
forming their characters and deter¬
mining their destinies. The country
is flooded with chfeap, trashy litera¬
ture, much of it immoral, poisoning
with its subtle fascinations.
Everywhere we see young boys
whose pleasant smiles and happy coun
tenances indicate their confiding na¬
tures, and that they see only the bright
and the beautiful before them in this
great world. They arc easily led by
influences,either good or bad. If good,
they make the noblest of men; if bad,
the consequences are too painful to
contemplate.
Fathers and mothers attend careful-
lv to what your boys read. Let it be
attractive, fascinating if need be, but
elevating, ennobling. Teachers, min¬
isters, come to the aid of parents. Ed¬
itors, what responsibilities rest upon
you!
By united efforts, many a youth on
the jownward road, esn be rescued
from ruined boyhood and exalted to
noble manhood, the prido of loving
friends, useful and honored in the
community and in the State.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.
When the next issue of the News
appears, Grover Cleveland will no
longer he president of the United
States. Ilis career has been remai k-
able. Ten years ago he was unknown.
An enthusiastic political tidal wave
made him governor of New York.
From the gubernatorial management
of one State, he stepped to the exec¬
utive control of thirty-eight, and re¬
tires from the presidency of forty-two
great,States, the strongest empire in
the world. He has made a good pres¬
ident of our whole nation. While ad¬
hering to the principles and policy of
liis party, few of his predecessors were
less part hum than he. He has execu¬
ted the law* faithfully, and dealt ira-
partially with all sections and all peo-
pie of our great country. If he has
made enemies among his party fr.ends,
he has made friends of people who
love country more than party.
policy has been to heal the wounds , 4 o
remove bitterness between the North
and South, restore confidence and es¬
tablish fraternal feelings among citi-
izens of a common country. If his
government has not been brilliant, it
has been conservative and just, pro¬
tecting the persons, rights and prop
erty of our citizens at home and a-
Tbroad,and maintaining peace with all
nation^. He retires to private life
carrying with him the confidence and
high esteem of all good people, res¬
pected and honored by the entire
world.
L Vice, the Monster of Horrid Wien-
All people from the remotest ages
to the present time, recognize the de¬
moralizing influence of familiarity with
vice and crime. In ancient fables in-
nocent people are almost frightened
to death at the first sight of the mon¬
ster; seeing him a second time they
are frightened, but by no means as
before; meeting him a third time
they are not afraid to approach and
talk to him.
In the days of Pope,becoming famil-
iar with vice, no matter how horrid
the monster, people did not stop at
conversing with him, but firstendured
then pitied, then embraced him. I 11
our day they rush into his arms
a familiarity and readiness that is
palling. Surely there is no
of more horrid mien than
JACK THE RIPPER.
We had heard nothing of him for a
week, and had hoped he was forevef
at res*. But he is to be revived. A
heretofore esteemed cotemporary, the
Banner-W atchman,of Athens,is intro-
ducing him to its readers in all his
dreadful hideousness; and he will be a
visitor, unwelcomed we trust, in many
innocent homes for weeks to come, in
the shape of a serial story whtch will
portray in vivid color, enormo, crimes
and render people familiar with vile
deeds.
Fifty papers,including the News, re¬
ceived a notice for publication* which
states that the “startling narrative”
will be published as a “serial story iri
the Banner-Watchman.” The New s
declines to insert the notice, but it
herewith gives its neighbor the
fit of an advertisement without mon-
ey and without price. Georgia is pe¬
culiarly fortunate in the character of
her newspapers. They sustain what¬
ever is right and oppose whatever is
wrong. They uphold the churches ’
the schools, the colleges, good morals,
intellectual progress, the well being
and happiness of all the people of the
State. The News regrets to acknowl¬
edge that there is one exception-
Here is the Banner-Watchman w r ith
continued recitals of the most ghastly
butcheries of women the world has
ever known; it labors to thrust the
vile narratives into every home in
Northern Georgia,to be read by young
boys, blunting their moral sense, ex¬
citing their imaginations,familiarizing
them with crime, and possibly awak¬
ening evil passions at the very thres¬
hold of their young manhood.The great
wrong done to our people in publish¬
ing this dreadful narrative is intensi¬
fied from the fact, that the Banner-
Watchman is published in the city of
beneath the shadows of our
state univesiTy,
around which are clustered fond af¬
fections. In those halls are gathered
many young men, the pride and
hope of the people of this great
State. The influence of the
press in that city should elevate,
not degrade; it should exhibit as
examples,* deeds of bravery and
nobleness, not acts of .‘owardiee and
crime. A few days ago, some students
in a northern college, incited doubt-
less by stories of dynamite tragedies,
thought they would have some fun
with the dangerous missiles: they es¬
caped with shattered bones, the loss
of a few arms, legs and eyes; it is a
xniracle that the building was not
wholly*destroyed, and faculty and stu¬
dents blown into eternity. If some
sIndents in Athens, or young men in
the country, should decide to play
Jack the Ripper, so that the fright
and nervous shocks would make some
women physical wrecks, others
deranged, and kill a few out-
right,—would the Banner-Watch-
111 an feel it had no share in
the fun? But the possible evils are
not confined to fun loving boys. Men
with bad tendencies may read the
‘startling narratives,’ become excited,
and genuine Jack Rippers find bloody
victims in the persons of somebody’s
beloved wife, sister or daughter. Will
the Banner-Watchman feel itself en-
tirely innocent of the crime?
But that enterprising journal ex¬
pects to “increase its circulation” and
put dollars in its pocket by publish¬
ing the stories. Possibly its success
may increase its taste for that kind of
literature. It must have another se-
rial story, something “startling and
exciting.” What subject more befit¬
ting than a narrative of the men in
staid New' England, who joined to¬
gether in a band to outrage defence¬
less women? After Jack The Ripper
there is nothing too vile or too de¬
moralizing for the columns of the Ban¬
ner-Watchman.
AYERSVILLE DOTS.
Ayersville, Feb. 26th. 1889.
Shingles! shingles’! shingles!!!
Mr. J. S. Ayers entered the Toccoa
high school Monday.
Ayersville takes the cake for shin-
gle^, lumber and ties.
There are six shingle mills and 3
saw mills near Ayersville,all of which
are doing a good business.
F. A. Hulsey has just moved his
shingle mill from D. J. Mulkey’s to
tbe C. F. Ayer’s place near here. Mr.
H. is the boss shingle man; he can
saw 15,000 in one day. How is that
for high?
J. H. Kytle is the most business
saw mill man we have seen. He makes
$500 per month. He shipped three
i cars of lumber yesterday.

I will give you a few dots from
Game’s Creek settlement:
The farmers are busy preparing for
the next battle of toil. The}- will
use in this struggle less imported am*
munition, but more home economy.
They are sowing oats.plowing lands
for corn, cotton and vegetables; cut¬
ting briers and shade corners and put¬
ting up compost heaps.
The farmer ought to be apprecia¬
ted more than he has been heretofore,
when it is remembered that he has to
toil for himself and family, and that
all other professions are dependant on
him for daily food. Farmer.
Mu. Editor: When you recom¬
mended manufacturing enterprises as
a help toToccoa’s prosperity,we think
you have struck the key note, and w »
hope the people will take notice an 1
set machinery going that will hum a
chord in unison to the key note.
Suppose a cotton factory to be
built, employing 200 hands. The
cotton to run that factory is thrown
off from the farmer’s wagons in suffi¬
cient quantity to supply the factory
for 12 months without any freightex-
pense. Then the operatives must
have provisions to live upon; suppose
their wages average, say §15*00 per
month, there would bo paid to the op¬
eratives §3,000; almost all of this
money would then be paid to the mer-
chants of Toccoa by the operatives for*
provisions and clothing which as you
see, would increase the merchants’
cash trade not a little. Again it
would give ilie people living near a
better chance to dispose such thino-s
as milk, butter, garden vegetables
and fruits, none of which the opera¬
tives would have to produce them¬
selves.
There are many other manufac¬
turing enterprises that could he en-
ged in that would prove just as remu¬
nerative For instance look at the
proportions to which the shingle trade
has grown,bringing more money into
the country than cotton does in pro¬
portion to the number of people en¬
gaged in each enterprise. “Yes,but,”
some one will say, “our pine timber
will soon give out and then what will
you do?” The answer is, that we
have millions of feet of hard wood
that are badly wanted somewhere in
the world, and the world must and
will have it sooner or later, also all
the little ‘puffing devils’ that are set¬
ting so thick over the country are too
energetic, and the monev in them too
much fer them to stand idle. So you
see that it is possible that the disap¬
pearance of the pine timber may be a
cause for the developing of other
small industries. Besides the min¬
erals are here in paying quantities,
we verily believe, which some day
will be developed and add immense¬
ly to our wealth. J.

glorious work which is now in its in¬

up, which resulted in the collection of
the sum of §500 for the erection of a
building at this place. This with pre¬

In sorrow we record the death of
two young ladies, both members of
Liberty Hill church and Sunday
school.
Phena Whitew, aged 21 years, died
February 0th, 1889. She was faith¬
ful to attend her church meetingsand
a ready worker in the Sabbath school.
Therefore be it Resolved, that we
have h’st by the hand of do ith and the
mercies of onr Heavenly Father, one
who was esteemed by her associates
and her school mates. NVe feel her
loss in our midst and while parents,
relatives and friends mourn her de¬
parture, we are assured it is her eter¬
nal gain.
Martha Summerville, aged 20 died
Jan. 28th. JS89. While Martha was
in a very humble condition of life,vet
heFValk as a Christian, should be
kept in memory by her relatives and
schoolmates. She was faithful to .at¬
tend her church meetings and Sabbath
School.
Therefore be it Resolved, that we
have lost by death and the mercies of
God one who should be kept in fond
memory by all who knew her, and
feeling our loss to be her gain of
heaven, where she will ever bask in
the sunshine of eternal glory.
Martha and Phena have passed a-
way; the family circles are broken,
their v< ices will be heard no more in
the Sunday School and singing choir
while fathers, mothers and family
meet around the hearth stone, their
seats are vacant.
They joined the church and were
baptised together; they have gone
to that home where they ever will
enjoy blissful delights.
May we all be prepared to meet
them in that home over there, where
parents, brothers, sisters and friends
will never part again.
Toccoa, Ga., Feb., 25th. 1889.
Toccoa News: A great deal has
been said in your valuable paper a-
bout the needs of Toccoa and all the
interviews and suggestions are good;
either one of which if put into prac-
tice would add much to the prosperi-
ity of the city,
If you will allow a small space in
your paper, l will give your many
readers my views. The one thing
most needful and of the most impor-
tance to her citizens is a good graded
school. Because we have sons* and
daughters to be educated and several
will soon have to leave home to corn-
plete their studies; in fact, some have
already gone. I want to ask every
tax payer in Toccoa why thisshouldn’t
while we have so much to induce
.is to go to work? Build a good house
i„ a good place, one that Northeast
Georgia would be proud to own.
Let us see what inducements
have to commence with.
First, we have as good climate as
can be found eight months out
twelve; our water cannot be surpass-
ed in the world.
Secondly, lumber and all
materials are cheap, and for a few
thousand dollars we can put up a
house that we won’t be ashamed to
ask our sister towns and neighbor-
hoods to send tc.
Last, but not least, we have a man
that is able to help and will help to
build up . bij- scliool here, (and
means build up Toccoa,) if we will
just put our shoulders to the wheel
and show bill) we mean business.
Then we will see new dwellings
up, new families move in and Toc-
coa will get somebody else’s money
for board and tuition from elsewhere,
instead of other cities getting our
money.
In conclusion I ask the citizens of
Toccoa to give their views on the sub¬
ject and some suggestions as to how
and where to commence.

there was held a most delightful party
at the residence of Mr. T. O. Parker,
in honor of Miss Ida l)ean*who is vis¬

Mr. J. T. Peyton left on Friday for
Atlanta where he will remain until
Sunday morning. Mr. Edgar Bridg¬

where he will spend week. Both
these gentlemen are of the well

FARM NOTES.
It is estimated that the area of un¬
reclaimed swamp and marsh land in
United States that can be drained and
brought under cultivation is equal to
that of all the cultivated lands, or
nearlv 300,000,000 acres. Much of
this land could be reclaimed without
much difficulty or expense, and would
make farm land of much value,
Adams, the Macon warehouse man,
who forged farmers names to fraudu¬
lent cotton receipts and swindled the
banks of that city out of §75,000 or
§80,000,is trying to starve himself,as
he refuses to eat anything since he
has been in jail. Now if he really
does want to starve himself to death,
we advise him to go to farming on the
all-cotton-btiy-your*meat-plan and he
will be sure to succed.—Alliance Ad-
cate.
PoTATOES FOR BUTTER MAKING.-
To produce milk Mr. Hoffman, of El¬
mira, N. Y., says that no other root
he had ever fed is at all comparable
to the potatoe. He would have no
hesitancy in feeding potatoes liberal¬
ly, even if butter_ were the object.
Another speaker who had fed many
potatoes, and for considerable periods
of time, declared them excellent for
butter making. He would feed them
with corn meal and wheat bran, for
that had been his successful practice.
Profitabee Pickle Crops.— Prof-
able crops are always a subject of in¬
terest. Among other crops which
give little trouble, but yield much
proffit, the pickle cucumber is one of
the best. A farmer in Connecticut

and gathered 43,000, which sold for

Extracts of the Address of Presi-
dent Northern of the State
tural society.
NY hen I had the honor to address
you at \N aycross, I showed from
record that the wealth of the State
had increased steadily since 1879,
aggregating up to that date $107,000,-
000. Since that time the record shows
an additional increase in taxable
property of fifteen millions, making a
grand total of $122,000,000 since the
period indicated all garnered by the
profession, the trades, the manufac-
tures and the industries outside of ag¬
riculture. Those sections of the State
devoted mainly to farming show a
large falling off, while other sections,
devoted to other industries, make a
sufficient increase to cover the losses
from farming and $ 122 000,000 to the
State ,
since 1879.
* * *
It is my purpose to day to submit
to you some criticisms touching the
conduct of farmers themselves in their
managements and methods seriously
hurtful to the genera! good of the
State.
Under the action of the executive
committee of this se‘*iety I have look¬
ed into the causes for depression,as I
mingled freely with the farmers, ** *
I shall now present for your consid¬
eration what I have learned.
In one County in Middle Georgia
I found a farm of 800 acres, with
teams and tenants and comfortable
cabins. On the 10th of January last
the tenants on this farm had barely
cotton seed enough to plant the next
crop; not one peck of corn nor a
pound of meat Cat -a, grown
the place. I he owner of this tarm has
not seen it in five years.
* * * * * *
When I say that the tenant system,
operated outside of the personal su¬
pervision, personal control and rigid
discipline of the landlor ;■ as been de¬
structive to our sy stem of agriculture,
I make known to you, in 1113 ' candid
judgement, the main cause lbr depres¬
sion among the people. This system
has lost milbons of money to the State
by its wastfulness; it has demoralized
and ruined the better class of labor;
it has broken up communities and
forced our people into the towns and
cities for a living; it has brought cout-
less acres to worse than desolation to
waste, and covered the face of the
earth with sadness and decay.
Georgia, we are told, spends as
much on commercial fertilizers as
Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, New
York, Ohio, Tennesse and Texas.
With this fertilizer expenditure of
five m llions,Georgia cultivates eight
million acres and makes a crop worth
§07,000,000. With the same expen¬
diture on fertilizers,! he States named
cultivate 91,000,000 acres and make
a crop product of §773,000,000. The
farmers in Georgia pay $1 in fertili¬
zers to make §15; the other States
pay §1 to §400.
The fanners in the States mention¬
ed have no cotton seed with which to
supplent their manures. 7 He farm¬
ers in Georgia handled the last sea¬
son over six million worth of cotton
seed. -They could make a better fer¬
tilizer out of this seed than any they
can buy, and yet this seed was sold
for two million dollars to enrich a
trust.

most favorable auspices. About twen¬
ty new students were enrolled.
The commercial department, recent¬
ly added to the college, began with
the opening of ti.is term, uuder the
superintendence of Professor U. N.
Hamilton, late of Moore’s Business
university, of Atlanta. This depart¬
ment promises to be quite an addition
to the interest of the college.
The young ladies’ dedartment is
increasing in interest under tile man¬
agement af Miss Professor Mary E,

lias progressed slowly, but much has

still there remains a great ddal to be
done. We learn that the trustees will
soon add some much needed apparat^
