A TEM I*F AM'E LIX Tl E,
To My Youug Friends of Hanks
County.—A Warning
To You*
Whiskey will lead you to e tern a
ruin aud dissipation. It will break
up your happy home—the home
where you have once gathered around
the family fireside with your brothers
and sisters, fathers and mothers;
where the h;q piest days of your lile
worespenFathers, it will putyour c'lil
dren out in the world ns beggars anil
wfcOurse to be looked upon as tramps
el our n Hive land. Think of this fath
ers as you walk to the barroom; is
your wife not at heme without a good
meal in her house. Are year children
not begging for bread. Oftentimes
men have been seen wa'kiug into the
saloon; their eyes were sunken, their
lips parched, a little child standing by
saying; ‘ Father, mother is siek at
houie and sister is crying for bread.’
Young men, young men! Why not
take warning and leave off the bar
room. U will lend you down to death’s
dark shade, and ruin your poor soul.
You will then not dream the dream of
your childhood and say. Just give
me one more glass and I will drink
no more.’
Boys, never take the first drink and
you will never want the second It is
always lho first step that leads to the
end. If the first step is never
made, you will never start in nothing
but the name of God. Boys, he in
dustrious. Lei, us make a step that
will make honorable and industrious
men. •If the older ones do net set a
good example before us, let us set a
good one before them. We have of
ten [seen seen old men, wf b their

And drive you in a chariot,

HOMER. HANKS COUNTY, GEORGIA: JANUARY 21, 1897.
Do Not Hinder Them.
If the republicans give us better
and easier times, says the Rome
Tribune, wo ar* in favor of extend
ing'to them every possible encour
agement on that line. It does not
j make so much difference whence
comes the improvement or through
what agency just so it conies. We
1 arc wilting to accept prosperity let it
! coincjfrom whatsoever souicc it may.
We await its coming with happy
anticipations for we know what it
means for mir section-
We do not join tn tl.e illiberal
| sentiment of those partisans who
would be glad to sic the republicans
fail in their cffoits to nsior© pros
perity simply because they are op
posed to them politically. That
amounts to damogoguory and we
have no patience with demagogues*
They have given the country too
much trouble already. If the repub
licans behave themselves decently
toward us and inaugurate mere pros
perous times, we are content.
It is all nonsense to keep up a
bitter and vindicative warfare of
predjudice, spite and recrimination
I after a party has * been defeated.
If there is any good in the ropubli
can piyty and any wisdom m its
methods, let them develop. \Ye are
in favor of anything that looks to tin
common good to the country at large,
regardless of all partisan prejudice or
political acrimony. The country i
in the midst of r great crisis, the
greatest’ in many respects, in its
history. It is the duty of all good
citizens lo lay aside all differences
ot opinion and go to work for com
moil good. It will require the united
efforts of the whole people to right
the old ship of state and to steer her
into a safe harbor. There is no time
for sectionalism or partisan nonsense.
\\ eightier matters command our
ittenii hi than the mare wrangling
and j iwering over political platforms
and partisan creeds. The future wel
fare of cur country demands our earn
ext attention ami our most zeal ms
efforts. We cannot afford to waste
our time trying to figure up what
might have been. What is and what
is to bear th i questions that mo.t
concern us at the opening of anew
year in thu history of our government,
blie republicans will enter into power
alter March 4. We trust that i!u-\
will he able to steer clear of the break
ers aim that the statesinen who will
be in charge of public affairs at W. s’.i
ington, may fee their w.iy clear to a

of business. We hope that no hin
