THE TBIBUNE ELLEN J. DORTCH, Editob. *§■ The Offticial Organ of Franklin County. 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 en priuterr, all the tiinis tli-t t V, l 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. The Philadelphia Times says South Carolina may again reward Wade Hampton for the service he has rendered. Gen. Hampton is now that “ f, he 1 will ever il ask another office Q f the state which he has saved be- yond all possibility of recomper se. South Carolina disgraced herself w ben she threw Wade Hampton out ^i® S«p*te to put in his bad place T< 7 "S' ord. The Times need not waste . its sympathy on the old hero it is neither needed nor appreciated. --BROWN A ROBERTS- Livery and Feed Stables B0WKTM5Tn.lt, Ga.
