The conduct of England and
Germany has stirred the indigna
tion of the American people to a
high pitch. The destruction of
the little navy of Venezuela was
an act of needless destruction.
Not withstanding his denial, M r,
Hanna is spoken of very seriously

By its outspoken editorial on
lobbyism at Atlanta, the Journal

directors of the paper who were so
incensed ut the article Imve been
told that their room is preferred to

Some members of the legislature

The editor of the Wiregrass

He claims that they were real

It is said that Mr. Bryan is. very
well satisfied with the newspaper

Following custom and to give
ourselves and printers a chance to
enjoy the festines of the good old
C 'ristmas times, The News will
issue but one paper during Christ
mas week. During the past year
we have labored faithfully and long
to give our readers a good paper,
and we feel sure that they will
gladly ailow us this short rest from
tmr duties.
If one could just count the men
who are now planning to get on n
drunken booze during the Christ
mas hoiiduys, it would be a fearful
lot of figures.. Why is it? Why is
it? That this time of all others
should be given to debauchery and
crime? And the outcome will be
murderers, suicides and awful deeds
of crime.
The carnival of death will 60on
begin, and after the holidays, we
will read, as usual, about hundreds
ot deaths over the country caused
by the toy pistol,cannons,fire-crack
er, etc. It will be a long list of
horribly accidents and deaths, and
it is sure to happen just as it has in
the past.
Now days we are often shocked
by the details of drunken deeds en
acted by some crazy fool with
pistol, who goes on • rampage
.through a towti, shooting at every
body be happens to see. Lynching'
is too good tor a man who will
allow himself to become sq intoxi
cated with whiskey that he wants
to kill every person he sees.
By issuing but one paper during
Christmas week the poor printer
will get a chance to take a little
breathing spell. Business has
been extraordinarily flush in the
News office during the past few
months, and we haye labored long
and bard in the effort to give you
bright, newsy paper, and we feel
assured that you will not begrudge
us these few days of recreation and
rest from our weary labors.

Bryan is patting himself on the
back and boasting of the fact that
be received* larger vote for presi
dent than Grover Cleveland did.
But Cleveland got more votes than
his opponent, and that’s what goes
in this world, Mr. Bryan.
Over this great and rich land of
ours numberless families and little
children, will have no cause to t a
mersy-'aod-glad during the joyful
Christmas times. Many of them
will go cold and hungry, and in
stead of costly presents and happy
hearts, they will possess rags and
shivering limbs.
