FREEMAN, Editors. The second blizzard young to be cold much. Congressmen are still ham mering on the silver dollar. If they keep this up it may become too thin to use. All is not gold that glitters. The man who passed off as an agent for Herrings safe turii9 out to be a discharged employe. A citizen of Saudersville, Ga., was arrested last Monday night for trying to burn his own store, which would have caused the destruction of the business part of town. At Nashville, Tcnn., last week Miss Mary Shingle and Charles Nails were married. If they have any increase in the family in the futuro we suppose they’ll be sbinglc-nnils. SB The government printers are better paid than any other set of printers in the Union, receiv ing 50 cents, per 1000 oms. Once and awhile a man gets his dues on this earth. Editor Pendleton wants us to be his coachman. All right, sir, we _ have our price, for that or any other eftfyAoyuifnt, but, did you know it, "thecoachman sometimes proves to be a better man than his situation shows, while the employer is too course for the haughty airs he as sumes. It might he so in this case. A church trustee in Pittsburg, Fenn., has been suspended from membership for kissing and helping a female member of the choir on with her overshoes. What may we expect next? We thought it was the busines of the strong to aid the weaker Michael Kurtz, a merchant of Jacksonville, Fla., has been ar rested for cracking a Jeweler’s safe in New York to the amount of $14,000. He was formerly a notorious thief and had gone to Florida to reform. The detect ives think he can reform better in State prison nearer the scene of his crime. A Word for Education,, Eds. Deadlight : We live in a progressive age. The world 'moves and to keep abreast of the times we must move with it. The motto of successful action is ever onward and upward. One of the de mands of the ago is keen, well- ciplined minds, minds conver sant with books, men aud things. To meet this the edu cational interests of our country must be fostered. Negligence here involves criminality, be- cause.it works injury to those dependent upon us, and in a de privation of those privileges and benefits, which are ours to be stow, and which are essentiall to a correct conception of the ’duties and obligations of the question of citizenship, and an appreciation of the relationships of life. We cannot afford to al low the educational interests of community to suffer. The claims of our children and the good of society demand that there should be union of effort and if necessary persistent ef fort. Education is a legacy which our children have a right to expect at our hands and let us not be inimical to our species. This subject is agitating the public mind as perhaps never before. Shall we fail to esteem it a privilege to take part in the grand forward movement? Way- cross is a railroad centre of won derful facilities, of trade and travel, why should it not be em phatically an edcational centre? Every facility is here and all that is necessary to utilize them is push and enterprise. Bring these forces to bear and success is inevitable. Then property will be enhanced in value, pop ulation will increase and the whole town will receive an im petus that will put the wheels of progress and improvement in motion. There is no reason why this town should not be come the centre of education of this part of the State, with a school of high grade where the best educational advantages can be had. Let an academy he erected now—do not wait—the matter is urgent aud the business needs haste. Do not let the want of au Academy be a reproach to this people. Immediate action is the demand of the hour! Citizen. Council Proceedings. Waycross, Ga., Jan. 6th, 1886.
