Editor Gazette :
I have not forgotton my premise
to scribble some for The Gazette, so
here goes.
Well, for the last two years I have
been traveling through, and around,
and up, and down in Banks, and ad
joining counties, and say without flat
tery that I never in all my lifo found
a kinder, or cleverer people. I have
met with kind treatment from all
sects and all parties, and they didn’t
ask me whether I was a demoiuocr.it
or a republican, and if they thought
I was a sinner they had better man
ners than to tell me so, and the wo
men, (God bless them) fed me on
c;.ii ken aud other good things till I
had to cry, “Hold, enough.”
One day as 1 was calling at a house
the good woman peeped out and I
said: “Howdy. I don't want any
chicken to-day.’’ She laughed and
said, “Well, if you hadn’t said so I
would have killed it.”
But I have somewhat against
Brother Mason of your town,
You must not till him. llu hauled
me down that Berlin hill at such a
terriable rapid rate that I hail to pray
for the Lord to keep ns out of them
big gullies, but I’ve done forgiven
him. You know when a fellow gets
right bad scared it makes him sorter
mad till he can cool off.
I often have the pleasure of
meeting up with The Basks County
Gazette, and will say to its face
what I have said behind its back,
that it is certainly one of the cleanest,
most moral, and even the most reli
gious paper, not to be a professor, 1
ever met with, and will say further,
that if all our papers were clean and
moral like The Gazette, we would
have a better, and happier people., I
ray the above because it is true, and
my Bible says for us to render honor
to whom honor is due. We are to
commend the good, and condemn the
evil.
Tell Dock Garrison that I got
home safe and sound, but my old wo
man gave me such a lambasting that
I was doubtful whether she was mad
or glad. She made out like she was
glad to sec me, but 1 told her that
that was a curious way to show glad-
ness by fighting a fellow that way.
These women are curious folk i any
how, and the best thing we can do is
to let them have their own wav, for
i.* f
- will have it.
A happy New* Year to all my
friends. Yours truly,
N. Tkimjile.
When a man begins to do wrong
he cannot answer for himself how far
he may be carried on. Ho does not
see beforehand, lie cannot know,
where he will find himself after the
sin is committed. One false step
forces him to another: one evil con
cession requires another.—Dr. New
man.
THE PRODIGAL DAUGHTER
To the home of his father returning.
1 he Prodigal, weary and worn.
Is greeted with joy and thanksgiving,
As when on his first tuna! 1110/11;
A “robe” and a “ring” is his portion,
The tel vaiils as suppliants ijniv.
lie is clad in flue linen and purple.
In return for his penitent vow.
But h I for the Prodigal Daughter,
Who has wandered away Irom home,
Her feet muststill press the dork valley.
And through the wild wilderness roam,
Alone,on llie bleak, barren mountains,
The mountains so dreary android,
No hand is outstretched iii fond pit v
To welcome her back to the fold.
Hut thanks to the Shepherd, a hose
me rev
Still follows his sheep, though they
stray,
The weakest, and e’en the forsaken,
lie bears in bis bosom away,
And in the bright mansions of glory,
Which the blood of Ids sacrifice won,
There is room for the Prodigal Daughter
As well as the Prodigal Soil.
New York Graphic.
The little city of Buffalo, in Wyo
ming, only five years old, containing
between seven and eight hundred in
habitants, boasts of having electric
lights, water works, steam flouring
mill, $40,000, school building, $<5,000,
court house, two weekly papers, with
One Church and forty”saloons, gamb
ling houses, etc.
This they call being “way up” in
aristocratic proportion an t ideas.
It must be saloon aristocracy.
No Salvation In Works.
Good works will not save. We
can’t make our own ladder and djmb
into heaven on it. We must go by
the one God has prepared, or stay
out. The elder brother in the para
ple of the prodigal son was a good
worker, but he had no love for his
father and brother, and so he had to
stay out of doors, because he thought
he was too good for the company.
A little of the hog-pen medicine
would have been a good thing for
him. If men could buy their way
into heaven by good works," there is
no price they would iiot pay.
In this world tyeii and devils
may have their own way for awhile,
but ni heaven God •wall be supreme.
Lay Aside Every Weight.
In the Christain race we are ex
horted to “lay aside every weight and
the sin which doth so easily beset us.”
There are weights that are not nec.
essarily sins. There are pursuits
which are lawful, and rightly used
beneficial, but they may so engross
our thoughts and occupy our time as
to become a hindrance to the progress
ot our religious lifo. Recreation, in
stead of preserving its original mean
ing and giving us new vigor for our
work may simply indicate pleasure
without profit. There are pursuits
which reinvigoyate body and mind,
and there are others which impair
our power and disincline us for our
proper work. The one is a benedic
tion, but the other is painful and will
prove a weight, and, unless promptly
overcome, a besotting sin.—Christian
Inquirer.
The Secular Press.
The day has been in the past when
the secular press was the most potent
factor in this country for the moulding
of public opinion, and as a teacher
and a recorder of current events was
thoroughly reliable.
I wish to offer a few leasons why
this is no longer true, and some of the
causes which have brought about such
11 suite of affairs.
First, as a political guide it is un
reliable, for the reason that it is in
tensely partisan. All political situa
tions are shaded and colored to suit
the political opinions of the editor of
the paper. If he be a democrat the
situation is altogether democratic;
if it be a republican editor, in the
same way the situation takes on a
republican hue.
Take, for instance, the late political
battle in Ohio for governor. Not a
paper in Georgia that deals in politics
or that had its correspondents on the
scene of action, but that made it ap
pear that Campbell could hardly by
any means be defeated. Wherever
he went pandemonisin turned loose
till down here in Geogia, judging by
our newspapers, we were ready to cry
out "Poor, poor McKinley.” Yet
McKiniy defeated Campbell by 20/100
majority.
The truth of the matter is that any
intelligent man hesitates a long time
before lie swallows the political prog
nostications of the average newspa
per.
Let us illustrate a little further.
The democratic papers are madly
howling that there will be no third
party in Georgia; that the farmers
are satisfied to work out their salva
t.ion in the democratic ranks. And
yet the fact Is that a large body of
the farmers of this country stand
ready to demolish democracy, repub
licanism, or whatever cise there is in
the shape of parties to destroy.
Another objection to the secular
press is that it garbles its news until
you could not possibly recognize an
event in a community after it is
printed. If John Jones, of Jonesboro,
smashes the head of Bill Bones, of
Boonsvillc, it appears in the paper
that Judge Smith, of S ..ithtown, ran
away with the wife of some reputable
citizen of the same burgh.
Now, as a matter of fact, you may
take a nespaper and hunt up the true
record of tho news and *t the very
least one half of its news will, some
way or other, Vie untrue to the origi
nal event.
And then competition is so fierce
among newspapers that very often
a paper will anticipate an occitranoe
and state it as. a piece of news when
the fact is it never happened at all. I
call to mind two odeurences of this
kind which lately happened in our
state.
The greatest southern daily, (The
Journal and The Constitution may
both claim the honor), announced the
fact that Governor ITogg, of Texas,
had appointed Mr. Mills senator to
fill out the unexpired term of Reagan,
resigned. The truth was that Gover
nor Hogg had not appointed Mills at
aP, but another man.
The same paper some days ag
announced, with a flourish of trumpets
that the president had appointed M .
Clements (ith a picture of Clements)
as interstate railroad commissioner,
when 10, it appeared that the pres -
dent had appointed another man.
What we need in this country is a
newspaper that will give nothing but
hard, cold facts, unbiassed by parti
san eyeglasses, and that will stick
strictly to the truth. Give us this
kind of a paper and I for one am
willing to give to it a life time sub
■cription, and aid in buying the
editor a monument when lie dies, for
such aM editor would deserve on
a mile high, and if necessary higher.
