The St. Louts boodlers are sorry plight. in a Old Santa has everything about ready to start out on his journey. Fitz Hugh Lee takes the oppor tunity to take a crack at Grover Cleveland alio. At last, at last, it has come to pass. The trusts have cornered poor old Santa Claus. The democratic party has not a particle of room for the fellow who sees the dark side of everything. We sympathize with our brethren of the north, with howling blizzards and no coal. Come to the Sunny South and tell the coal trust to go to the dickens. The King of Belgium and the Czar of Russia have their hands full these days dodging bombs, in ternal machines and sections of brick walls. Oh, to be a king. In the eagerness to find a demo cratic presidential candidate,names of men have been announced as probabilite3 who would more nearly fit the office of baliff than president. The Sunday newspaper of today has become so firmly established with the people that it will never become a thing of the past no mat ter how hard a fight is made on it. The Louisville Courier-Journal has a hard spell of rabbies every time tile name of Grover Cleveland iB mentioned. Murse Henry's re gard for the ex-president 19 not heightened by time. BABY CARRIAGES, WHEELBARROWS, CARTS and WAGONS, 2Sc. to $1.65 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 us u presidential possibility. By its outspoken editorial on lobbyism at Atlanta, the Journal raised quite a hornets nesl. The directors of the paper who were so incensed ut the article Imve been told that their room is preferred to their company. Some members of the legislature made reputations thq past session they should be proud of. Blit some didn’t. The legislature has adjourned and gone home. It will seem so lonesome now, with nothing to talk about. The editor of the Wiregrass Blade has been seeing snakes lately, and as a consequence played havoc in his office by “pieing” his type and upsetting things in general. He claims that they were real snakes, however, and not imagi nary ones. England was quick to play the baby act und lav the blame for the destruction of I e Venezuelan fleet on Germany, Editor Pendleton, of the Macon Telegraph, roused the ire of his old friend, Waterson, ot the Courier- Journal. ‘‘We *uns are it. ” It is said that Mr. Bryan is. very well satisfied with the newspaper business. His income is about $50,0000 per year. No wonder. Atlanta wants a man that can make old-time sausage—the kind our mothers used to make. Such persons are mighty scarce these days. m Mr. Guerry is makings petty wartuie on Goy. Terrell through bis Georgian. Mr. Guerry cannot Easily recover from his soreness Poor fellow. * Oom Joe Hull would make him- telt heard in congress. It it impos* tible to overlook Oom Joe. With his fog-horn voice, he will attract 'Attention anywhere. mz* 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. -HAS ARRIVED- S AND WILL BE WITH THE FIRM OF BARFIELD & HORNE.
