PUBLISHER'S NOTICE.
We a.e now sending out statements to
quite a aumber of our subscribers, show
ing their indebtedness to THE NEWS and
asking for remittances to cover the same.
We trasc they will give prompt attention
to these requests, because we need the
money. Our subscription book shows
that there are seyeral hundred dollars
due o 2 :his account. We have been re
inetant to bring this matter so plainly to
the atiention of our patrons, preferring
to wait patiently for such time for set
tlement as might best suit their conven
ience. but we have at last reached a point
where we can wait no longer. There is
no excuse for anybody being in arrears
Our subseription is only sl.oo—hardly
enough to pay the cost of priming—and‘
it is not right that we should be put off
from time to time merely because we
have shown a disposition to be indulgent. ‘
Those of our patrons, therefore, who are
in.arrears are earnestly requested to set
tle at once. Our subscription list is now
undergoing levision, and the names of
delinguaents who do not settle within the
next thirty days will be dropped.

CONGRESS IS TO BLAME.
The Atlanta Coustitution, which never |
lets a day pass without a severe, and'
oftentimes an unnecessary, attack upon
the president, says:
“One of Mr. Cleveland’s chief difficul
ties during this congress has been his
utter inability or refusal to recognize the
fact that others beside himself have views
on public questions.”’
T'ue News does not agree with the
president in his financial views, and
approves the action of congress in not
enacting Lis swuyggestions or recommen
dations on this question into laws, but
we are not prepared to hold him wholly
responsible for the present very unsatis
factory monetary condition of the coun
try. Congress is more to blame for tll9l
existing state of affairs than any other
agency.
It may be, as the Constitution inti
mates, that there are views stored away
somewhere in the craniums of the legis
lative nranch of this administration, bat
the public has no practical evidence of
it. Mr. Cleveland is not the law-making
power, and if congress really has any
well-detined views those views could
very easily be embodied in a bill and
passed regardless of the president’s op
position. Instead, however, of devising
means to relieve the country congress
contents- itself with waging a relentless
war npon a man who has opinions and
the courage to give expression to them.
It is time for congress to quit fighting
Cleveland and do something for the peo
ple. 1f the bond issueis needless let them
repeal the law authorizing the president
and thesecretary of the treasury to issue
bonds. If it is necessary to issue bonds
let them pass a law authorizing the issue
of three per cent instead of tive per ceat
bonds. If congress would exercise some
eommon sense and ¢ )mmon honesty,
with a little uncommon or genuine patri
otism, we would begin to see light in a
gond many ways.
The president can't pass laws, and
¢oncress can’t shirk its responsibility
- and hide its incompetency and general
eussedness behind him. Do something
\
or come home. |

A SENS/BLE CONCLUSION.
The New York Sun makes a senslblel
conclusion when 1t says: “This is the
third or fourth time within a few years
. that charity has been nee-ded in Nebraska
or Kansas on account of the fa'lure of
crops. We should suppose that those of
the farmers ot these states who are so
often reduced to straights would think
of looking for homes in some favorable‘i
region., All the southern states are de-l
sirous of obtaining industri)us immi
grants, and they can furnish good land
for millions of them. Texas alone would
like to draw to its lands all the farmers
who cannot get along in the bad parts of
the northwest. After the south gets
pretty well filled up, a hundred or a
eouple of hundred years hence, it will be
time enouzh to see what can be done for
those extensive tracts of our traus-Mis
sissippi country, in which the crops are
so often a failure on account of long
droughts, destructive blizzards, and pes
tiferous insects.”’
~ EvEN in the coldest weather, when
closed coors and warm fires become a
‘necessity, there is comfort by compari
son for the people of Georgia. When
‘we read of the wild capers of the mercu
ry in the Dakotas and throughout the
!northwest, where it runs fifty degrees
‘below the danger line and smashes the
instrument, it is enough to make the
‘thickest prece of cuticle curdle up in
sympathy. With houses covered in by
‘the snow, barns lost to view and railroad
‘trains buried under snowdrifts, the great
\west presents as cheerless an aspect in
‘winter as it does a dried-up aud sunburn
‘ed appearance in summer.
THE New York Times received a letter
from a young lady ~hose note paper was
ornamented with birds flying through a
wreath of flowers, in which she asked*
“Is there any way of boiling cabbage
cleat will not fill the house with an un
pleasant odor?” The entire Times force
'suspended operation to wrestle with this
’buruing questions and finally announced
‘that a rubber shoe, *“if cooked in the
same kettle with the vegetables in ques
tion, will so complicate the resulting
fragrnce that it becomes rather an object
of interest and curiosity than an excuse
for fault finding.”
Tue present congress has a little more
than two weeks in which to wrangle and
do nothing. It kas been in constant
session for nearly two years, and, if our
memory is not at fault, has oot passed a
single measure for the good of the coun
try. The only legislation that has bees
done by it is the repeal of the federal
election law--a law that the people
hardly knew was in existence. The
present congress has been worse than a
failure.
Mes. ANNIE ABBOTT, one of the so
called Georgia ‘‘magnets,” is gaining
notoriety from a new source of late,
According to the papers she is wanted in
New York for cheating and swindling,
and it appears also that there is some
doubt about who her husband is. This
report, says the Macon News, will cut
no eaper, as Miss Abbott has “*diamonds
to dazzle and money to burn.”’
DR. FerntoN and Solicitor Fite are
engaged in their periodical cussing
match. About every full moon these
two chronic mud-slingers fly into the
prints and parade their personal wrongs
and each other’s rascality. Regard for
their good names and consideration for
the reading public should cause them to
stop their gnarrel.
Now Richland comes to the front with
a naughty man who looks though the
blinds at the girls when they retire at
night. The *‘peeper’ issaid to be spott
ed, and is ina fair way to be peppered
with shot. It would help his inanners.
HERE is a correct opinion from Editor
Mclntosh: *“The man who complains of
hard times when he has a comfortable
home, plenty to eat and plenty to wear
and is not in debt ought to be the ad
vance guard of a Coxey army."”’
THE Sparta Ishmaelite predicts that
there will be another tremendous cotton
crop unless the Lord wills it otherwise.
And the Ishmaelite intimates that it will
take active interference on His part to
prevent it.
JORDAN water on tap is the latest. An
enterprising firm in Palestine does a
prosperous business by bottling water
from the Jordan ana selling it in various
parts of the world for church purposes.
O~ Thursday congress defeated the
bill embodying the recommendations in
the president’s recent message. A deep
er presidential contempt for congress
and a big bond issue are the results.
MANY prominent men right here in
Georgia arein favor of woman’s suffrage.
If the women can’t do any better than
the men have dons they had better stay
out.
Eprror CArN, of the Chatiooga News,
knows how to punish delinquen:s. He
is giving them weekly installments of
the doings of the late legislature.
Mr. TurNER was the only Georgia
member who voted for Mr. Cleveland’s
bond bill. Mr. Turner always did have
the knack of being lonesome.

A NOTABLY REPAST.
i
A Man Who Has Dined on & Whole Lot of
Very Old Things.
From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
“T have eaten apples that ripened more
than eighteen hundred years ago, bread
made from wheat grown before the chil
dren of Isreal passed through the Red
Sea, spread it with butter that was made
when Elizabeth was queen of Eungland,
and washed down thewegast with wine
that was sold when Co umbus was play
ing barefoot with the boys of Genoa,”
was the remarkable statement of Ama
ziah Dukes, a New York broker and
guest of the Southern. **The remarkable
spread was given by an antiquary named
Geobel, in the city of \Brussels 1a 1871
The apples were from an eurthen jar
taken from the ruins of Pompeii, that
buried city to whose people we owe our
knowledge of canning fruit. The wheat
was taken from a chamber of one of the
pyramids; the butter from a stone shelf
in an old well in Scotland, where for
centuries it had lain in an earthen crock
in icy water, and the wine was recovered
from an old vault in the City of Coriuth.
T .aere were six guests at the table and
each had a mouthful of the bread and a
teaspoonful of the wine, but was per
mitted to help himself liberally to the
butter, there being several pounds of it.
The apple jar hld about two-thirds of a
gallon, and the fruit was sweet and the
flour as fine as though put up yester
day.”
The Vermin Were Exterminated.
From the Calhoun Courier.
Sometime azo Mr. T. A. Mathis, of
this county, who is a hog and hominy
farmer, discoyered that a pen of his fat
ten'ng hogs had te:ome infested with
lice,and hearing that kerosene was a g od
thing to remove them, took a bucket
and mop and his son a torch and went to
tue pen which contained 15 or 20 pork
ers. About the time he got them well
sa-urated the torch was dropped and
the hogs became ignited. Mr. Mathis
finally made his escape and the squeal
ing porcines broke down the fence and
soon there was a streak of squealing fire
from the pen to a branch, a hundred
yards away. The vermin were extermi
nated and the main damage was the loss
of pig tails,

There is nothin’ more deceitful .

When the air gits warm an’ tenader,
Whur it used to be so raw.

That ye leaye yer winter wraps
In the house; an’ next yer freezin’,
And ye ketch ver death, perhaps.
I have twice been bit on bunko,
I have purchased silver bricks,
I've been skinned through signin’ papers,
An’ by all the other tricks

When these weather sharpers fool me
With a bogus piece 0’ Juue.

you allow your liver to become in

The germs of Consumption, Grip,

If you rouse the liver to activity,

#O, I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass. :
*lt is with pleasure that I give you the details
of our little May's sickness and her return te
health by the use of Hood’'s Sarsaparilla. She
was taken down with
Fever and a Bad Cough.
Following this a sore came on her right side be«
tween the two lower ribs. In a short time an.
other broke on the left side. She would take
spells of sore mouth and when we had succeed
ed in overcoming this she would suffer with at
tacks of high fever and expel bloody looking
corruption. Her head was affected and matter
oozed from her ears. After each attack she be

came worse and all treatment failed to give her
relief until we began to use Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
After she had taken one-half bottle we could see
that she was better. We continued until she
had taken three bottles. Now she looks like

say too much in favor of Hood’s Sarsaparilla.”
