Ellaville, Ga. Thursday Nov. 21 1889
R. DON. McLEOD Editor.
Hon. Jefferson Davis is seriously ill at
New Orleans and dispatches, yesterday
announced his case hopeless.
It seems that the revolution in Brazil
is going to be comparatively bloodless.
This is something novel in the history of
nations to see a vast empire evolve into
a republic without a bloody war.
Some men try advertising as the In
dian tried feathers. He took one feath
er, Iqid it on the board and slept on it
all night. In the morning he remarked:
“White man say feather heap soft; white
man d-n fool.—Exchange.
Wherever money is kept, business will
center. So long as our business men
keep their money out of the county, so
long will all the business follow it. A
bank would do more to center business
in Ellaville and build up the town than
anything else.
M. Tirard says the result of the recent
c lections in France indicates that France
desires a stable government, wants peace
and is again on solid ground. This
strikes us as being something entirely
new for that country. A government of
stability and peace would be to a French
man’s taste about as flat as cold water
to an old toper.
Fifty years ago patent, extra white,
and all fancy brands of flour were un
known. The wheat was ground and
only the coarsest bran was bolted out,
leaving in the flour all the elements of
food contained in the grain. Conse
quently our fore-parents were healthy
and had precious little work for dentists,
false teeth Avere almost unknown.
Tennille Enterprise.—Mr. Hornady, of
Ellaville, Ga., spent last Saturday and
Sunday in Tennille. Mr. Hornady has
the good fortune to be an acquaintance
of one of our sweetest young ladies, and
who knows but that his trip to this
place was aAmsiness one entirely? Mr.
Hornaday represented the Schley
County News at the Weekly Press con
vention at Cartersville last July.
The revolution that has recently
broke out in Brazil, has been smoulder
ing for a long time Dom Pedro, the empe
ror, though very liberal and much liked
by his subjects, is growing old and the
Brazillians, dread the ascending of his
daughter Issabella to the throne. This
Princess is thoroughly hated and the
Brazillians have determined never to
submit to her rule. Besides they have
long hankered for a republican form of
government.

We laugh at the simple minded ne
groes, who foolishly gathered hickory
nuts on halves for Mr. Meadows, when
the nuts were free to all and they could
just as well have gathered for themselves,
yet Schley county has been doing just as
unwisely for twenty years. Even the
merchants and business men of EllaA T ille
are to-day busy gathering hickory nuts
on halves for the bankers of Americus.
Isn't it about time for us to stop this
short sighted business and build up our
own town ?
We were mu h surprised while in
Americus a few days since to see West
ern bacon shipped to that place in such
large quantities, Sumter county use to
raise all of the bacon and corn she con
sumed during our residence there
Ik 1 tore the war w r e do not remember ever
to have heard of a shipment of corn or
bacon being made to that county. The
poorest man in the county generally
raised his own meat and bread. If he
happened to fail he could always buy
from a neighbor. We see no reason
why the same connot be done now.
We cannot see how a fair minded
court could do otherwise than acquit
Sheriff Smith of Birmingham for pro
tecting Hawes against the mob. who
nought to lynch him. It was most un
fortunate that ten good citizens should
have been slaughtered to save the life o
a brutal wife and child murderrer a
Halves doubtless is, but the lowest erim
inal is entitled to a fair trial and being a
prisoner in the custody of the sheriff it
was that officers sworn duty to protect
him. The Majesty of the law should
ever he upheld and every officer should
be sustained in the discharge of his
duty.
A NEW PARTY MOVE.
The national Andrew Jackson club or
ganized last Tuesday in Nashville is
made up of some queer material, but
there is no denying the fact that our
government as now extravegantly ad
ministered is showing “indications of
decay” and needs some move to drift us
back to the precepts and principles of
Andrew Jackson.
There is, alas! too much solemn truth
in the following:
“Whereas, heretofore men sought to
serve their country for the love of coun
try, now they seek first their own gain
and patriotic instinct is lost in the pell
mell scramble for place and emolument.
Political parties, all make ‘spoils'
their first object and it is gradually be
ing instilled into the public mind that
the proper reward of government for the
services and devotion of its sons is sor
did lucre rather than the blessings of
freedom and protection, for which it
was created to bestow upon them.
When the time comes that it is altogether
true that dollars are a fit and acceptable
compensation to men who do battle for
their country then h >s our government
lapsed into a condition that renders it no
longer worth perpetuating, indeed it
will be incapable of lasting perpetuation.
Having lost the sustaining principle, in
evitable disintegration begins. Patriot
ism is swallowed up in mercenary
greed.”
Among the officers of the club we no
tice the names of many prominent dem
ocrats, but they are all sanwitched in
with the names of republicans whose
records are not calculated to inspire a
superabundance of confidence in their
conversion to tfie principles of “Old
Hickory.” However, there is some
merit in the move, and we will watch
its progress with interest. We should
not shun the church because the devil
sometimes present himself there, but if
he was to keep entirely away we fcould
feel more confident. If this new party
advocates would endorse Cleveland for
1892 we would believe thfcy were in ear
nest.
HAS OUR PREACHER BEEN PAID ?
The Conference 5 r ear is almost at its
close and if the local minister has not
been paid it is high time we were hust
ling around and getting up the cash for
hi m. No matter how good and un world
)y a minister way be, lie can no more
live and support a family without money
than could a farmer or mechanic, and lie
is just as much entitled to pay for his
services as the laborer who works our
fields. Ask.e from its spiritual benefits
the church is one of the essent al ele
ments in our civilization, it is the most
powerful auxiliary to our civil govern
ment. Without churches the best gov
ernment under the sun would drift into
anarchy. Go to newly settled portions
of the West, or any other section where
the toll of the church bell is never heard
where a minister of the gospel is seldom
seen, and when seen is looked upon as a
sort of public nuisance ora drone m the
hive and you will find morality at a low
ebb, law without force and order un
known; a man carries his life in his own
hands, protects his wife and children
with his own strong arms and holds his
property with a Winchester rifle. It
takes preachers to keep up the churches
and money to feed and clothe the preach
ers. Whether we are members or not.
we cannot dispense with churches and
preachers. The money paid to them is
not given to charity by any means, it is
simply paying for services rendered and
value recieved. If you do not care a fig
for the salvation of your soul, you can
afford to contribute to the support of the
church, for the protection and security
it gives to your family and home.
