THE RECORD OF 1890.
The Teihuxe has jest crossed
the threshold oi its sixteenth year.
1800 was an eventful year for
TnE Tribube.
When w« took cbaigc of the pa¬
per last Jan., there was not a line of
good type in the office, and not an
advertisement ot any kind, save
dead cuts iu the p^per. Moreover,
the paper, owing to the bad manage¬
ment^ the previous two years, had
ost much of its prestige in the coun¬
ty and among the weekly papers ot
Georgia.
How to boom a newspaper, encum¬
bered with a heavy mortgage, w lth-
out money, material or influence, was
the perplexing problem which eon-
ironted ns at tho opening of Iasi year
We set about to solve it in the best
way we could. We are not at ull
satisfied with the result* But we
crowded as much honest, conscien¬
tious work, self-sacrifice and devo¬
tion to what we believed to be the beat
interests of north Georgia, as we were
capable of, into 1890. Aud p o’ a' !y,
considering our environments, the rec¬
ord of the old year should be c-m : *■.. iTy
s tisfcct jry.
Having bolh the mechanic: l snd ed-
iRriei work on our hands a gre; t r i i.rt
of last year, and not being a practical
printer, we were unable to do j i s ,? cv. to
either department-
Jioycot s,, broken machinery, dr u k

confronted a country editor, loomed tip
in our pathway in 1890. An 1 if w.- have
In any way failed in keeping Tiik Tiun-
i up to tho high stanch rd .citneJ’aV'a 1
ute i* net chatgeable to lack of earnest
effort on cur part.
So much for eighteen hundred and
ninety. It is numbered with the dead.
And let it rest peacefully.
Thu Tiuhune enters upon eight« n
hundred and ninety one in a more pro
peroua condition than at any ether time
since its e-tablL-limtiit. Ws are now
about happily over the troubles, boy¬
cotts aud ail, that we had to battle
against last year. We will be fitted up
with a new cftice and steam outfit early
in the new year and will ti en be pTe-
pured to publish a paper not for north
Georgia but for the state.
The account of the clu \ear b,.s been
balanced up and we have brought ov«-r
only what is cheerful and helpful into
the rew year. We have remembered
only our friends in Franklin county—
many hundreds of loyal friends thre ugh-
out the state, whoso hands were out
stretched to us during the. journalistic
squals of 1890. As we cross the tlm .sh-
hold of a bright new year, we send cor¬
dial greetings to our readers, and cher¬
ish the hope that in our county, among
tliepeople whose welfare will be forever
held os dear as the ruddy drop* about
my heart, no unfriendly ban 's may be
raised against The Tribune during 1891.
TH* GOVERNMENT’S S1JAME
The recent disturbances in In¬
dian districts has reiterated the ev¬
idence that the policy of the gov¬
ernment toward the Indian, has
beenone of extermination. Ever
since Columbus unfurled the banner
of Castile in this New World of
ours, the white man has been indus¬
triously robbing the poor Indian
and afterwards killing him.
Penned up in the frozen west, at
the mercy of brutal and unscrupu¬
lous government agents, is it a won¬
der that our government’s starva¬
tion policy has led to revolt?
The killing of Sitting Bull was
nothing short of a murder, which is
chargeable to our great republican
government. Would it not be ex¬
pedient for the United States to re-
terse the order of procedure against
the Indian, kill him first and rob¬
bery will be unnecessary.
The year 1890 is replete with
interest lor the historian. For us of
the south it was a year ci politica 1
revolutions and of wonderful prog-
res». New railroads, new towns* new
enterprises of all kinds have sprung 1
up almost in a day. 1890 has been
a memorable year for the south., Its
record lias been made up, and a
right face glerioua one it is. N ow let ns
the demands of the new year,
with brave hearts and stout arms,de¬
termined to make it the brightest
and the best year in the history oi
Dixie’s land/
Do the people of Carnesville want
to make 1891 the most prosperous
year m tho history of the town? En¬
ergy* brains, industry are requisite
to the prosperity of any people.
NEW YEAR’S WORK.
No Doom for Drones in Carnes-
VILLE.
For more than twenty-five years
Carm *ville has been sleepily mov¬
ing along, contented to be a half
a cent ury behind the age. Cut off
from the outside world by railroad
conmetions, the mightiest revolu¬
tions in the great world beyond us,
has hardly disturbed Carnesville’s
Rip Van Winkle slumber. Now
times are changing, and our people
must wake up, take cn new life, ex¬
pend energy and money iu building
up the town during the year
upon which we are just entering,
or the requiem of 1891 will be the
funeral dirge of Carnesville’s busi¬
ness prospects. Last year was a
year of marvelous prosperity in the
Boulh, but Carnesville caught little
of the pluck and energy that led
other portions of our southern
country to make such wondorful
strides. It is true that some feeble
work was done for the Carnesville
railroad, bu^ a two million dollar
county stood appalled at the idea of
$10,000 or $12,000 expenditure for a
railroad, and our brilliant
and hopes of connection with the
si ue world went glimmering
1890 into a past of grand possioil-
ities and meagre realizations.
Now we are going to do
with 1891 than we did with 1890.
There are many new
that a libeml expenditure of pluck
aud money must bring into Carnes-
ville with the new year, and
first and foremost among these is:
A railroad. It is useless to
aigue the necessity or advantages of
this, the greatest of all civilizing
agencies.* A town without a rail-
read is simply a dead town.
A larger and more commodious
school building is one of the neces¬
sities of the times. We have here
the finest educator in the south and
it is nothing short of disgraceful
thftt hehas poorer school "conven¬
iences than many ot the negro
teacher* in the county. What
Carnesville needs ia not an addition
to the present dilapidated wooden
structure that is known as Carnes¬
ville Institute, but a magnificent
88,900 or $10,000 brick school build¬
ing. Assisted by the Building and
Loan Association our people can
erect such a house without any
hardship. There is no other invest¬
ment that gives such handsome div¬
idends, a* an investment in the re¬
fining and enaob'.ing influences of
broad culture. There is no demand
in this day for the uneducated boy
or girl, man or woman. Trained
heads and hands claim the high
places in every avocation in life.
We have had the privilege ot ex¬
amining several of the examination
papers and school reports of the
teacher* of this county, and it may
be interesting to some of our reader*
to know that a majority of the best
reports ancl-examinations were pre¬
pared by negroes. It 'iieretore
soexi- eminently appropriate that the
white people should take greater in¬
terest iu the education of the child¬
ren of the county.
Carneeville needs a live newspa¬
per, a progressive, wide-awake,
newsy and better edited paper than
has ever been published within the
bounds ot Franklin county. Wear®
prepa.ing to supply this demand
early in the new year, and we will
demand the Hearty aid and co-opera¬
tion ot the people.
We ought to have a railroad and
fifteen hundred inhabitants right
now. And why haven’t we? Be¬
cause wc are deficient in phu*K and
enterprise. A dead town holds io
attractions for energetic, ambitions
men and women.
We need new stores, a new hotel,
a railroad, a new school house, new
enterprises oi all kinds, ererytuing! i
that it takes to make a pushing, wide-
awake, progressive town. It will
take enterprise, pluck and a great
deal of money to bring these tnings
into Carnesville. But prosperity
never abound* where there has not
been a liberal expenditure ot pluck
energy and money.
Location and climate intended
Carnesville for a progressive town
of fifteen bundled or two thousand
inhabitants. Let every man in
Camesville wake np and go to work
for Ike upbuilding oI the town.
We have no use for a grumbler,
and we are not grumbling. The
statement of a few very patent facts
is necessary. Carnesvillc is no worse
off than she was fifty years ago, but
what was progress then may be
dubbed retiograde motion in tliii far
advanced age.
If you have been a slave to anv
bad habit, swear off with the new
year.
It is said, by mathematicians, that
a man forty years old has spent two
years buttoning his coliai.
We are just entering upon the last
decade of the most eventful century
in the history of mankind.
America is a gieat and gloriqrs
country. It has robbed the poor Ii •
dian, and now proposes to murder
him.
Here is ajgood receipt tor pro>por-
hy and a sweet disposition: Look
away from the dark, to the sunny-
side of things.
A good resolution tor the < idz en
of Franklin county—Resolved ’hat
the Camesville railroad shall be
completed before the sands of the
present year are run.
It may be a more difficult thing to
do, but it is nobler, and more solid
enjoyment eill be bad from the un¬
earthing of a neighbor’s virtues
than ot his vices.
It a young man loves a woman
and at the same time indulges in
liquor to a curtain extent and feel*
that he can give neither up, it would
be better for him to tic a millstone
around his neck and jump into the
sea than drag an innocent woman
into a drunkard’s home.—Ex.
No town will ever be progressive
and happy, without a prosperous,
wide-awake newspaper. No stioh
paper will ever be published in any
community, without the hearty aid
and co-operatiou of the people. A
newspaper is a represen' a-ive, not so
much of the editor’s ability to do his
work successfully and well, as it is
of the enterprise ot ilie people
among whom it circulates.
Mr. George M. Puliman, the pos¬
sessor of S50,000,000, recently
said to a correspondent when asked
how it feels to be a millionaire : “I
have never thought of that. But
now that you mention it 1 believe
that I am no better off—certainly no
happier—than I was when 1 didn’t
have a dollar to my name, and had
to work from daylight until dark.”
We are informed that Prof.
Looney will be asked on tonight, to
pledge himself to remain in charge
of the Carneaville High School for
three yeais. We would rejoice ter
the good ot the town aud county, to
kuow that so distinguished an edu¬
cator as Prof. Looney, bad pledged
himself to remain hero a life time,
but we fail to see how Mr. Looney,
m justice to himself, can make any
pledges, without some very rich
promises from the trustees of the
school.
CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES.
A flood of delightful social
marked the list days of 1890, in
Carnesville.
Christmas eve night an
dai-ce was given at the Aderhold
House, under the auspices ot the
Carnesville Dancing Club.
Christmas night from a lovely
Christmas tree which had been pre¬
pared by the Literary Circle, Kris
Ivnng’e’a bounteous presents were
merrily distributed. The Literary
Circle never docs things by halves
The Christmas night entertainment
w&s a success* Our people aro in-
debted to the Circle for many charm-
ing entertainments,
The most recherche event of the
week was a tea party at the
bom* of Prof. Looney, J on tne 29th
utt. Mrs. ,, Looney T u a wouderou«lj , ,
gified woman £and entertains moil
charmingly. On this e?pscial evening
she gathered about her, an exquisite
bouquet of rosebud faces. The rich
brunette beauty * of Jirs. Sanford! v u
Ayers, . Miss ... Mattio McConneh . r _ „ and
Glen Waters, contrasted pret*
ilj with the blond loveliness of M*as
Minnie McEntire, the Misses Ed*
wards and Miss Fannie Aderhold.
Tne lining table was aTevalation oi
taste and elegance, so temptingly
were the dainty viands arranged.
The tea party given by Miss Min¬
nie Me Entire on Deo. 31st, 'was one
of the many elegant entertainments
that the young people ef Camesville
have enjoyed at the loveliest and
most hospitable home in Franklin
county. The dining hall was beau¬
tifully and tastefully decorated with
flowers and evergreens, and the table
loaded with dainties enongh to tempt
an epicurian. Miss Minnie never
looked fairer and lovelier than on ihe
last evenmg of 1890, when »he so
chaimingly exemplified horgracious¬
ness as hostess. Mrs. McEntire is a
charming and cultured woman, and
has made her home a most dehght-
ful place for social gatherings.
There was an Old Folks' party at
the Aderhold House on last Thurs¬
day night. Stately matrons and
staid men who have long passed the
half-way mile po.-t on the journey of
life, threw their dignhy to the winds
and indulged in an old-fashioned
dance. Now those pers< ns who are
subject to the holy hoirors will nave
a severe attack just here. Dignified
married folks,members of the church,
dancing! Yes and why not? The
religion of the Savior of mankind
teaches gladness/ Christ himself at¬
tended dinner parties and wedding
feasts. And it is eminently proper
that the nativity of the lowly Naz-
artne whose mission on earth was to
redeem fai'an man, should be held
fort" e ’ asa lime of rejoicing, of
m:ri tint rr, music and dancing. *
Kenire Adci hold was very popular
at the Old Folks’ party The busi¬
ness like manner in which Sheriff
McConuell held his hands in his
breeches pockots, when he was not
engaged in dancing, was somewhat
ludicrous. James P. Adair was said
to be tne most graceful dancer on the-
floor. A nd Prof. Looney, grave, dig.
nified Prof. Looney, “tripped the
light fantastic toe” till the wee sma
hours. Dr. II. D. Aderhold, brushed
up, parted his hair in the middle,
looked ten years younger, put on his
old-time gallantry and gave inarke d
attention to a lady wno was not
dancing. Mrs. S, P. Rainpley played
the role of “country cracker” to
perfection.
■ The “old folks” celebrated Christ¬
mas right royally, because they could
not help it.
The person who gets no joy out of
Christmas hasn’t much of a soul.
•
There were many other enjoyable
social gatherings m Carnesville dir
the holidays. It has been a gay holi *
day season. Many fair visitors have
contributed much to social life;
among them, the charming Misses
Edwards, of Elberton, Miss Pera
Carion, of Bold Spring, and Vannah
Neeseof Bowersville.
***
The lovely young wife of Glen
W aters, who is well known to the
readers of the Atlanta Constitution,
was the fairest among many fair wo¬
men who graced Carnesville’s hol’day
entertainments. Wherever Mr3
Waters appeared, her delicate, intel¬
lectual beauty was the cynosure
of admiring eyes.
Christmas is the one time in the
year when enmities are forgotten in
contemplation of the babe who wa*
long ago lulled in a manger at Beth-
Jehem and adored by tie
Wise Men of the East. Around
many a festive Christmas board
friends were drawn closer together
and old grudges buried. The bnef
season of universal good wiil to men
has left our people stronger for the
work of the new year. And
with supreme love and char¬
ity toward humankind they have
iacod the rosy dawn of a year of
marvelous possibilities.
