One year's labor in the fourth estate has been very pleasant to us, and we hope satisfactory to our patronage. We have given the loeal news, also the current events of the day, and advocated editorially the educatienal and material development of our re sources. This is what we promise another year, and trust that we may have the support of the people. Our School. Carnesville’s educational future is‘ great if she looks well to her oppor- | tunities, and this we have oviflcnro' will do. Elsewhere there will| Efound a call for & citizens’ meet- | ng, looking toward the rcnmdcliug’ ‘?d enlarging of the academy. This| s work that cannot be delayed. The| attendance of the fall term was xo' large that the present academy would | hardly accommodate all. The spring and summer term will be much larger—perhaps twice as large—if there is suitable accommodations in the way of room furnished. There| is no one thing that contributes to the best progress of a section so much as the establishment of first-class schools. A town will never die that is the champion and supporter of good schools. Society will always be good where education plants her banuers. Our citizens will make no mistake in devoting much of their time and money to the building of a magnifi cent school in Carnesville. Now is the ti-ne to take hold of this enter prise, while we have the services of an educater whose scholarly reputa tion reaches across the continent. Let us all work for the school. | EDITORIALLY PARAGRAPHED. i There is considerable complaint about iron clad notes among the peo- ‘ ple. It would be much better for the country if every note in exist ence was iron clad, and absolutely secared by good collateral. The strictest business iy the best business for all classes—the demagogues to the contrary notwithstanding. Hon. James G. Blaine is reported to have said that he would not be a candidate for the presidency in "92. If we are to have a republican presi dert again the south would be glad for it to be Blaine. i The president of the Farmers’ Al liance in the state of Kansas says that the third party move will not work in the south as long as< there is a race problem. He thinks the move pre mature, If you are a friend to the poor man don's advise him to put off the pay ment of just obligations after they have matured. This kind of advice injures both the debtor and the cred itor, The corner.stone of the Grady Hospital was laid in Atlanta on De cember 23d. It will be amagnificent building, and will bear the name of one of Atlanta's noblest sons, It is foolishness to talk about build ing up confidence among our people when those who sre considered our best citizens do not pretend to wmeet their obligations when due. The supreme court of Tennessce has decided that mortgages are not taxable in that state—that they arc mot property, but only security. M. A. Dauphin, president of the Louisiana Lottery company, died a sow days ago, at the age of 53, h The State road has been turned m':: to the new lessees, and every thing is working harmoniously. There is nothing that helps the ‘poor man as much as his own punct uality in business matters. ‘ Subseribe for Tue Extrremise, Plant Less Cotten. The South has lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in the last year on account of an over-production of cotton and an under-production of the necessaries. If we had made only five millions of bales instead of nearly eight mill ions, the crop would have been in eager demand and profitable price for every bale as soon as it left the gin. Our people must learn to raise cot ton as a surplus if they would pros per. We challenge the whole of Franklin county to produce one farmer who raises nothing but cotton that is making money, to say nothing of a good living. We know a num ber of farmers who are making money fast, besides a splendid living. But these prosperous farmers raise corn, wheat, oats, sorghum, potatoes, tur nips, hogs, cattle, ete., and then a con siderable cotton crop as a surplus. The man who plants nothing but cot ton works harder and realizes less than anybody. We hope to see a big change among our farmers in regard to more of the necessaries of life and lesk cotton. Cotton is almost certain to be low | next season if there is even an aver age crop planted. The only hope, in our opinion, to advance the price of the large amount of cotton that is on hand now is to impress the cotton producers throughout the cotton states to cut off their acreage lor this year. This will certainly lessen the future supply and cause an increased demand for the present crop. But if our farmers do not cut off the acre age it is unreasonable to expect high prices next season. The South's Progress. The Manufacturer’s Record, of Bal- ' timore, comments in the following way on the statistics of the south’s progress: wThe last twelve months have been a period of unprecedented activity in every departmant of industrial and commercial enterprise in the south. Every factory in business reflects general activity., The railroads have been crowded with freight beyond their capacity. The banks have transacted an enormously increased volume of business and have earned handsome returns on their capital. Agricultural and manufacturingpro ducts have been put forth in great quantity, and there has been a tre mendous flow of capital from every direction to the south seeking invest ment. The past year has not been one of booming nor abnormal devel opment, but it has been essentially a period of steady growth upon a solid foundation. The south has been put to severe tests during the past year, but it has stood them all without strain or injury, and stands better in the eyes of the world than ever be fore. An abundance of everything that ficlds or factories yield has given the south ample resources with which to stand all strains and to meet all demands.” What 1s News!? An ingenious editor of a large and suceessful daily, who would be ree ognized as one the best newspaper men in the United States if his name were mentioned, recently had ™ ocea sion to employ some new reporters. Many men applied, all of whom he called into hix sanctum, and, paying no attention to their letters of recom mendation, gave each ong of them a writing pad, at the head of which ‘was the guestion: “What is news ?” ~ wHalf an hour to answer that ques tion, young gentlemen. Then I shall know how to make my choice.” There was some lively scratching for 30 minutex, and the result of the newspaper examination was intensely i interesting, Some of the answers of the successful competitors are sug- ‘ gestive, Here are a few of them: I “News is anything that the general public ought to know.” “News consists of events that are either very usual or very unusual.” “News is the daily record of the! human race put into convenient shape for the public.” ‘ “News is the panorama of the world | every 24 hours in embryo.” “News is whatever the public will read and pay for.” “News is anything from Jones® ar rival in town to the fall of an em piro." “News is historical facts, It is what occurs; not what is imagined.” “News iy truth concerning men, nations, and things. That is, truth concerning them which is helpful, or pleasant, or useful, or necessary fora reader to know.” This last definition pleased the ed itor very much.—Youths Companion.

Looney's Column. orgad b, LOODGYS L ﬂlﬂl.i THE DEATH AND THE BIRTH. | December 31, 1890, ! “I am all alone in my chamber now, | And the midnight hour is near, | And the fagot’s erack and the clock’s | lone tick ' Are the only sounds I hear.” l The author of the above lines was | }Biuhop Doane, not a voluminoua! ‘writer, but one of the sweetest poots:? that ever wove English words into.: ilineu of tender pathos and sparkling; imagery. The above lines are from | his short poem entitled, “The little | boy that died.” eis also the au-’ thor of the splendid verses commenc- ’ ing, “Chisel in hand stood a sculptur’ boy.” I cite the first mentioned of | these two poems as an evidence of' hix tender pathos, and the last ax an | evidence of his sparkling imagery. | In cither of the two poems there is a‘ wealth of feeling and a flow of soul | to delight any one, who has enongh | of the tender dews of life’s poetical | time hanging on his (or her) heart tu% appreciate them, As time steals on, how the dews evaporate from the waving grass of the spring meadows; how the fra. | grance and the hues vamsh from the ! summer flowers; how the _vellow’ paleness ereeps death-like and stilll’ on the antumn foliage; and how at | last the winding sheets of the death- . bed, woven in ecload-looms, fall| softly on the cold breast of the druri winter waste! But memory rvvorts} with a thrill of cestasy to the beauty | and the glory that has been, and | through her magic wand they are | with us still. Not ouly does shc! murmur the spell that unlocks the | gates of Oberon and lets us into tlu-l fairy land of the past, but in her own splendid storeroom she shows us that ’ the beauntiful and the tender Im\'('% passed into our very being, and are | part and parcel of purselves, so tlmt! in the hour of dead winter and undert the cold stars of the December heav en we may feel within us the bloom’ of spring and the glory of summer, \ The clock on the mantel strikes 12, and with it dies the old, and is} born the new, year. 1890 will be written on our parvlmu-nts' no mnro.:s But with the very last breath of the passing yvear comes the first breath of the year that at this moment be gins. The year with its hopes, its dreams, its succesgses, its sins, its sor rows, and Its reverses, is gone. Like a wave that has lapped upon the shore and «then retreated into the “yvasty deep” with its treasure trove, so the year that is dead has lapsed into the deeps of ages gone. To night, while we watch, does the ghost of any Banquo of murdered days rise to confront us whether at the feast or alone in the hush of our room? Is the retrospect good or is it bad? IHave we been true to our selves and our nobler nature or have we not? Is the record dark or is it bright? Each must answer the sol emn question for himself. Doubtless many of us, perhaps all of us, are compelled to admit to our inner selves that the year has been but ancther record of man's change ful will. Some of us may recall some promise unkept; others may be conscious of some pledge unredeem ed; others may be aware of some vow unperformed; others of some prospect blighted by misconduct; others of some bright hope blasted by one foolish action; others (and this is the worst of all) may be vague ly impressed that they have treated some one else badly. Here it iy man’s changeful will: promises un. kept, pledges unredeemed, vows un performed, prospects blighted, hopes blasted, and doing injury to others 'in a thowsand ways. But the retro spect may do us good. Every year Ishould be made a eritic on the last,i and so social progress be not a failure and civilization not a dream. 1 While we pen these lines in the first pulsings of the new-born year, ‘the ran is drizzling and clouds ob scure the over-bending skies. But | ‘the moon above the clouds is smiling in love, as when in olden time she 'ntooped to kiss Endymion on the ‘Latmos mountain. And the stars in their glory, beyond the reach of | our mundane vapors, are shiniug on | in splendor as they sit upen their sil- | ver thrones. When comes the dawn, | the sunlight may be sheathed, but the sun himself will rise in the full crown-royal of his unequaled beams. Nature’s grand work goes on in its harmony, and “all save the spirit of man is divine.” Tt is with all of us’ the day of new resolves. Let us re- | golve to do the very best we can for ourselves and our fellows, and then . let us keep those resolves as wo! would guard our chance of lifein a i;lmtle with brigands on the belea guered thoroughfare. We are glad that with our neigh ‘bors we spent the last evening of the old year in a most delightful way. Dr. H. D. Aderhold and family in 'vited the married people of our town to a sociable at their ever-hospitable residence. We all went, and all were received with genial warmth and high-bred courtesy by the doc tor, las amiable lady, and his son Bennie. In faet it was a rosy flush on the cheek of the dying day. We were as happy and as gay as when in years gone by we met in that same hall with onr sweecthearts, and lis tened to the “whisperings of love” from lips that seemed to us sweeter than the nectar of the gods in the dreams of IHomer. Some of us doubtless remembered the - haleyon nights of other days, when, with one we “liked the best,” we would prom enade that long piazza and occasion ally pause to pick out “the star that should be our home when love be comes immortal.” Dut we are wax ing sentimental. Now we close by wishing to each and all of our read ers a pleasaut good morning and a happy new year.
