Li UAXGE OF DAY OF
CATION.
A-s Saturday is the day on winch
t country people gel their mail
Leiiest, and as The News fails to
' ;h some of the country offices on
r ut day, we have decided to change
u; day of publication to Friday,
s change will into effect next
cit, and wc In j»e our readers will
it.
EX PLAN A 'J'ORl.
1 ti.e readers of The News ar**
ecting to see in its columns any
if- winded and long-worded artic-
in reference to the political situa-
ni in Kamschatka, or the advisa-
t iity of the reienstag of Germany
ing altered, they will be disappoint-
i. If they should pine to hear us
scuss the anti-option bill or whether
te United States should annex the
laiwaiian Islands, they will continue
> yearn. In fact, we do not pro-
. us to tell congress what to do with
silver question, or jus*" what
•;i in should he made in the tar-
• ,5’-edible though it may ap-
. ws do not propose to advise
Cleveland as to what men should
: aipoee his cabinet, Wc shall be
ndid about the mutter, and ac—
lowledge that our principal reason
»r not treating of these things is,
hat we don’t know much about them,
uid we haven’t the time, if we possess
ie brains, to post ourself so as to
understand these matters thoroughly.
Another reason is, that we do not
dievo the average country* weekly
>hould devote much space to foreign
«ws ar>d the doings of congress.
This should be left tothe dailies.
This editor is not a very enthusias¬
tic politician, and he will not devote
nuch time or spaco to informing
congress or the Georgia legislature
iust what laws ought to be passed,
tie doesn’t feel that he has been
called to save the country.
In short, The News will not be
very political, unless in local mat¬
ters. Political news will bo given
just as other news appears,
but the editor does not propose to
utilize much space tu aic'ng his views
on politico,
We believe that many other things
are of more interest and more impor¬
tance tc our readers than politics; for
nstauce, the happenings in this sec¬
tion and questions of economy iin -
proveinentand morality.
Life is to short to waste much of it.
It is our der 're to aid in the improve¬
ment of Toccoa, the developement
of Habersham county, and at the same
lime, give our readers a newsy paper
that will always advocate such plans
and measures as we believe to be
advisable and rigiit.
The Daiilcnkga Nugget has
been revived, after a suspension of
about one year. Its former editor,
Brother W. G. McNelley is at the
rbeluj again, and his first issue of the
year is a good one. May the Nugget
develop into a gold nunc.

Cigarette smoking is commonly
indulged tn by the youths of Toccoa.
There is a state law against selling or

ol Soys of from 6 to 16 years

inhaling the smoke of the deadly
.cigarettes, some .public benefactor

It seems that the editor of The
News is not the onlj’ one who objects
to the way in which the county
boards of education act in reference
tothe adoption of school books. Since
our recent article on that line people
in other counties have told us that oor
remarks were timely, and that we
bad not exaggerated the incompeten-
cy of the average county board of ed-
i.ealion. A writer from Putnan
county to the Atlanta Journal says:
‘ If the state of Georgia, through her
representatives in the legislature,
would name the books to be used by
our schools, and take the power out
of the hands of the school boards of
each county, many a poor man would
be made to rejoice, for, as it row
stam , 9 are changed at the be-
ginn . ng of tenDi l0 Eoit the
fancy or notion of these school boards
school teachers, or somebody—it is
somebody’3 fault, and should be
stopped.
-‘I may be doing other counties
wrong by including them in the above
complaint. If so, I beg pardon; I
know my county people have suffered
iiy this reckless changing of books,
ftn( j | do hope there is some way to
sLop it> eyen if we have t0 tako the
United States history as a substi-
If the people will make sufficient
complaint about the -county boards
0 f education, an improvement in
them will soon occur. The legislature
should not have the power to select
the books to be used in our schools,
for not many of the representatives
arc competent to decide as to the best
textbooks. It would be a much bet-
ter plan for a committee of expen-
enced and practical educators to bo
appointed to adopt a series of school
bojks to be U3ed in every free school
in the state. And this series of
books should not be changed under
five years.
Y M. C\ A. STATE CONVENTION,
A notable gathering of young men
will be held at Athens, February 9th,
1893. The members of the Young
.Men’s Christian Association through¬
out the state will meet at that time, to
discuss the methods of work for the
physical, social, intellectual and spir¬
itual welfare of young men. Speak¬
ers who aTe prominent throughout
the country, in this splendid field of
work, and citizens of prominence in
various professions will take part in
the programme. Special addresses
will be made by Rev. J. T. Plonket,
D. D., of Augusta, and Rev. W. F,
Boggs, D. D., LL. D„ Chancellor of
the University of Geergia. Mr Rob¬
ert Weidensall, who is the veteran
secretary of the International Com
miltee, will give the results of his ex¬
perience of 26 years in his work.
Among the other prominent speakers,
are: Mr. F. S. Brockman, who is or¬
ganizing associations in the colleges
of the South; W. S. Gales, Assistant
State Secretary of North -Carolina;
W. M. Lewis, State Secretary of
South Carolina; and John Lake,
County Secretary of Edgefield coun¬
ty, S. C. Mr. F. L. Willis,JState Sec¬
retary of Alabama, will lead the
singing. Delegates are expected
from the twelve city and town asso-
caitions, the railroad association and
the seven college associations of the
state. Young men who are not con¬
nected with these organizations but
desire to learn of the most approved
methods of Christian work, are also
invited. The people of Athens will
throw open their homes with charac¬
teristic hospitality*, and the railroads
have offered reduced railroad
rates. The arrangements for the
convention are in charge of the State
Executive Committee^ of which Mr.
Henry Hillyer, of Atlanta, is chair¬
man. All information desired can be
obtained from Mr. H. P. Andersen,
Acting State Secretary, Y. M. C. A.
Building, Atlanta, Ga.
Our friends in Stewart county will
have to endure again the agonies in¬
cident to a prohibition campaign. At
three successive elections, and by a
larger majority each time, the best
people of the county have voted
■‘against the sale,” and yet certain
lovers of strife and stirrers up of dis¬
cord are not content that peace and
good oeder should prevail there. We
trust that at the election, the whiskey
men will be snowed under by a ma¬
jority of ballots as deep as the snow¬

weeks of suffering his feeble body
succumbed to the effects of disease
on the 7th ult. It was generally con¬
ceded that he was the most intellect¬

commanded the respect and admira¬
tion of those whose political opinions
were different from his. A great man

iHi_ Vv CELL'S kAlrt
An Outline of Its Immensity
Its Wonders.
All eyes are now turned toward
Chicago, around which every nation
will be centered for the next few
months. Tt is hero that all
and tribes are soon to meet in peace-
ful, laudable emulation in the fields
of art, science and industry, in the
lomain of research, invention and
scholarship, and to learn the value of
discovery to be commemorated. For
once all the world will be akin, and
the representatives of all the nations
of the earth will meet do' common
ground and exchange friendly gree-
tings, as they gather .around the
world’s products.
As one strolls through Jackson
Park, and lciters about the splendid
buildings that have sprung up, magic
like, and stand >n their matchless
beauty, their massive domes piercing
the sky m majestic pride, works of
art and genius, scarcely surpassed
during the centuries that have gone
by, he is impressed with the gran¬
deur of the conception and the mag¬
nificence of the execution. Nowhere
else in the world, perhaps, have so
many gigantic and handsome struct¬
ures been erected within the same
area. They are the admiration and
surprise of all beholders.
It was the privilege of a life-time
to witness the ceremonies attendant
upon the formal dedication of the
Columbian Exposition buildings,
which took place in Manufactures
Hall on the 21st of last October. It
was one of the largest assemblies the
world has ever seen. In it were the
representatives of the empires and
monarchies whose products are soon to
be exhibited, the representatives of
the different departments of our
government, the governors of the
several states with their staffs, the
leadirg orators, statesmen and writers
of the present day. It was a grand
occasion. The music was the most
sublime that ever fell upon mortal ear.
The chorus of five thousand human
voices harmoniously blended, the
notes filling the vast auditorium,
produced an impression never to be
forgotten. The sea of upturned faces,
covering acres of ground, was a sight
seldom witnessed. The ceremonies
were imposing and conducted with a
splendor worthy of the great purpose
for which the people had assembled.
No event in history is more worthy
of commemoration. None has had so
great influence on human affairs as
the discovery of the Western hem¬
isphere, And no anniversary
was over celebrated on so grand a
scale. The buildings are the largest
ever erected for such a purpose. The
-exhibits will be the most extensive,
and will be gathered from every
habitable portion oftlie globe. There
will be gathered Lore exhibits from
the “Bosphorus and the Black Sea,
the Vienese woods and the D.anubian
plains, from Holland dike to Alpine
3 rag, from Belgrade and Calcutta,
and around China Seas and the shores
of Japan.” The isles of the Pacific
and far-away capes of Africa will
send their products for the inspection
of the countless millions that will
come and gc.
Anniversaries are said to be the
punctuations in history. Every true
and patriotic American citizen should
regard the Columbian Anniversary
with the deepest interest. The dis
covery of America opened up to civ¬
ilization a uew continent, upon which
has been builded a nation that has
surpassed the foremost empires of
the old world, in its development, of
all that is practical in the arts and
sciences. Nowner© has man’s daring
geuius triumphed so successfully over
the crude materials in nature’s store¬
house, in bringing about a high
degree of civilization. The achieve¬
ments of the American people are
unequaled in history.
Within a few months the Expo¬
sition machinery will be in motion,
and it is the purpose of your corres¬
pondent to set before the reader of
the Toccoa News in a series of week-
ly letters, as accurate a history of the
great World’s Fair, as will be pos¬
sible in the space at his command.
Each letter will be descriptive of
some particular .featureof the world’s
products, and the series, if preserved,
will make an interesting scrap-book
for one’s library. The present letter
is introductory to the regular series,
which will begin probably in Feb¬
ruary, in order that the readers may
b®c 0fne familiar with the events that
transpire previous to the opening.
