Address, The Toccoa News, Toccoa, Ga. '.SATURDAY, February 4, 1893. 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. Umberto Fianttni, the Italian who shot himself and his sweetheart,Seli- ka Muegge, in ^tlants, lapt week, has died, and the girl.is in a.critical con- ditioQ It's a dangerous thing to "love or be loved in Italian. There seems to be growing senti¬ ment in favor of working convicts on the public roads and not allowing h<Mr» to be leased. The present ■ t <>ds of disposing oFeouvicls are 07 .mi to grave objections. c'hu»iiy is laudable, but sometimes i'. is better to refuse th.o to give— for instance, wi n ; e sms i boy asks for a nickle wit. • rich purchase cigarettes. Cigarette smoking is commonly indulged tn by the youths of Toccoa. There is a state law against selling or uig cigarettes to minors. If par¬ ol Soys of from 6 to 16 years t m’i object to their young hopefuls(?) inhaling the smoke of the deadly .cigarettes, some .public benefactor .could take tfce matter in hand and .perhaps check, to some extent, the pernicious habit among the boys iu "jTAccoa. .UA 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¬ fall here week before last—twelve inches on a level, James G.

It was generally con¬ ceded that he was the most intellect¬ ual American of this age, and he commanded the respect and admira¬ tion of those whose political opinions were different from his. A great man lias left us. 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.
