The True Citizen. W A VNKRflORO, GA . FKTDlAY, WOV. IT. 1RS2. "The Swrotoal fifth* JPUtMt.' ftqjr When an Atlanta paper gets on the rampage, and goes off on the brag, there is so limit to the latitude it as- emues to itself. First, let one start, (and they start freqoently,) and in a jew days it is announced in flaming capitals that it 'has the largest circula tion, ,J etc., etc. No question in church or state can bs sprung, bnt like the old woman when told that the cow bad eat the grindstone, one or another of them cries ont‘T t.)ld yoa so!” The latest ''journalistic feat” of this kind which we b;ive peen burdens the pro phetic columns of the Post-Appeal of Tuesday, where, in speaking of the cold snap of the past few days it says, ‘‘the readers of the Post- A ppeal wore warned in ;idvanee, and will not t>e taken by surp ise.” juet as if everybody did not expect “a cold wave” or two in the cli mate of A tlaota sometime between the first of October and the lat ter part of January. Such ‘journalistic” fore* cast is truly retnorbab’e, but we are going to try our hand, and beg the P- A. to tell to its readers that we say they will experience some warm weather between the first of July and the latter part of August next. And now we think we are far enough ahead of the P- A. to wait for him ab.t. THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. 'Tbs Legislature is once renre in ses sion, and the subj ot of the public school system wiil come properly before it, and is one of the few subjec's which idu4 occupy its profound consideration. The State Constitution makes it imper ative that the Legislature shall estab lish and provide for a system of public education ; that has in name and ex penses to the people been done by for mer Legislatures. But every one con- turned, except the legion of school of ficers, who will take the trouble to ac quaint himself with the inside workings of the present Byatem, and the profligate use of the people's money in the pay ment of a swarm of school officers to do literally nothing, wiil pr-nounce it a greater public nuisance thun a public benefit. \\ e. _ssert without fear of suc cessful contradiction, that, a greater amount of money is collected from the people for school purposes than i‘ would reqn re to defray the entire expenses of all the o her departments of the State government economically adininis erect. And as the children, who are the < b jective beneficiaries, do not receive In results, the question naturally arises, at beeomes of this l.ir^e amount of ney? Gentle reader and dear leg- or, lei us whisper into your ears t it is consumed in the payment, of salaiies of Commissioner Orr. his clerk or clerks, and m prly a tbous nd other school officers throughout, the State—and what is left tor the real ob ject for which it was wrung from the people is totally inadequate. This must be changed, this hord of officers dismissed, and the money applied to the purposes for wh’ch it was intended — Then and not till then may any fruits at ail equal to the expendilures be ex ;>eeted. But how is this to be done 1— We answer, re-enact the poor school law of anti beUum days, making its ope ration genet,^ where it was then only partial. Is there a member of the Legislature who has the nerve and hon esty to attack this political hobby, and show it up in all its hideousness ? If not, then we say to the people, you have waited long enough, and have been swindled out of a sufficient amount of your sweat earned money to learn wis doiri, and when the next election comes, j vot.e for no man- no matter who or what ho may be—who does not pledge himself to do all in his power to obtain a reform in the State public school sybtern. WHITE'S TUIO. Augusta Chronicle. While the “Merry War” and “Billie Taylor,” and ‘‘The Masootis” have been attracting crows to the Masonic theatre, it must not be forgotten that 'he J. B White Dry Goods, Clothingnnd Shoe Company have a trio hard by, equally as attractive. Noi is the tact likely to be forgotten. White’s pop ularity increases day bv day, and jndg- ng from the crowds that throng his three stores, his “53’' have about as auuh as they can attend to. Dry goods, j lo bing, hats and shoes, iu infinite va-! iety abound in these monster establish ments, but nowithstanding this, the ►m'erpritong proprietor is kept busy eulenishiiig bis stock, so gieat is the •Hiav-Uid. Mr. John Lnudnim, in charge of the clothing department, hat* already eft for New York to ootain 11 new supply of clothing to take the place of that which has gone off like hot cakes. Tie public found that Mr While had redeemed his pi ornise, to piaoe an ele gant stock before them, and they were not slow to take advantago of the op- poitunity thus afforded them to pur chase first class goods at bottom prices. A ad this may be said with equal jus tice of hia dry goods and shoe depart ments. Mr. White is very justly proud of his “trio.” He has a splendid line of goods in each store, and they arc sold at suoh reasonable prioes as to as tonish the purchasers. The famous “53” understand their business thor oughly, and uo visitor to any of the stores will over comptaiu of a lack of prop er attention. People could not be bet ter waited on in New York itself. We commend J. B. White <%; Co., their ‘trio” and the “53” to our readers. ANNOUNCEMENTS. FOR COUNTY TREASURER.
