Sycamore is destined (and that, in the near future) to be the educa¬ tional center of all Southern Geor¬ gia ; there is evidence of this asser¬ tion cropping up every day. Ninety-four students now answer to the roll-call of this important factor in Sycamore’s history, and yet, new names are added to the list every week. Parents wishing to educate their children are just wakeing up to the advantages to be derived, by send¬ ing them to the Sycamore Institute. And knowing that her facilities cannot be surpassed, as a prepara¬ tory school, wo cheerfully and uu- hesitateingly invite those living at a distance, as well as those nearer home, to send your children to Sycamore Academy. All of the advantages that the most zealous and solicitous parents could provide for their children at home is found right here. Sycamore's location iu good, her climate is healthful, water pure, church facilities the best, socif-iy intelligent and refined, all of which tend to make it the best and most desirable educational centre in South-west Georgia. Board can bs obtained with good families cheap, and the best of care taken of all who come. —--- WRITTEN FOIi THE NEWS.] From Lonisanna. Hammond, La., Feb. 12, 1S93. Editor Irwin Co., News : At the request of my many frien¬ ds of dear old Sycamore and the good old county ot Irwin, and a,-* cording to promise. I ask the favor of the News to allow space for my correspondence. I’ll not attempt to soar into the beautiful garden of language oric, and pluck flowers garlands, of .Rhet¬ to wreathe into ffr comment, but merely express thy trip in simple, plain language th t the old and yout g may able * understand. Well, I left with a heavy heard leaving our old country, endeared by many friends among whom I'd spent many a pleasant hour; leav¬ ing all I’d ever worked for, all I ev¬ er knew and all friendship and kin¬ dred 2 § dear to me, and launch for a home unknown, unseen .and fin- heard of. Now I can look backpat old Irwin and say “So near, ye;-so far.” In passing over the G. S. <fe F. and B. & W., and S. W. lid’s,, it was night, and nothing happened to break the monotony tiil we arri- ved at the city of Moutgome.-v. Nothing transpired there exeunt we had to transfer to the L & N. Svs- tern, with only ten minutes to get ready for a journey through Ala- barna and Mississippi. On through Ala., for one hundred miles.we pass- ed through most fertile ever wit- nessed. The entire country was un- der culti vation and every plow .was drawn cither by two mules or two ox-;’ , one, 1 suppose, to lean again- st the other to hold their “equipoi- se mr tne mud wa 3 some feet deep All roads turnpiked and planked or other wise,the axles of wagons would drag the ground. All of a sudden we merged into diversified country—one moment gliau.g through a tunnel and the next overlooking a stupendous prec- ipice. Fo- fifty miies we found this broken country with rocis aud oli- fl'g, angling nnd bisecting with r.B "uieli pitcision ia Geometrical squares u,1( 1 inteilines, as it put therewith hands of skill, yet, on the very peaks of those little moun¬ tains we could see little rude huts, aud the old gentleman plowing his ox —•>- mule could not cleave to the side of the mountain. On into Mobile, which we found to be a nice city whose streets were so close''tid the trr,ius running down centre of streets till passengers can sit in the car and purchase f rom the store?. The noble buildings on eitb ftr fi |de Icing so high and grand un- til it seemed that you were passing through a mammoth bride. We had to leave this city without time for lurch, and from there to New Or¬ leans—a distance of 175 miles—the sights were so great and the scene¬ ry so grand until the “Georgia Cracker” would stand in perfect amazement, the entire distance bor¬ dering the Gulf of Mexico. On the banks of the Gulf we would had a town established for miles as a summer resort for Northern pleas¬ ure seekers and suffice it to say, ev¬ erything was perfectly lovely ; then again lightening we would bo gliding, almost at above speed across waters, just its surface, with boats and ships sailing above and below the train; on for miles, until the lands behind you would disappear in the iar distant, then no lend is visible, and about the time von be¬ gin to fee! ticklish, and wonder what the foundation of a railroad could be built out. of, he can see in the other horizon, a skirt of land which strengthens his hope of landing sale again. On we went, without stop¬ ping to eat, for twenty-four hour , and 6 o’clock Wednesday eve, we landed in the commercial metrop¬ olis of the South, New Orleans. And right here, I will state, is a cits' of which the whole South (eels proud day and well it does. We spent one on street cars,electric cars and Dummy lines’ viewing this mammoth city. We could go eight miles in every direction. Just think a city of 250,000 inhabitants—one town as large as the second diet, of Irwin county, a population equal to all the cities of Georgia. The wealth of one block equal to one city in Georgia, and the wealth ol one building could buy the whole of Ashburn and Sycamore. A wh.rl live miles long, with one hundred boats, from a skiff to a mammoth ship, sailing from point to point, trying to unload her cargo. The Mississippi—the father of waters— neing one mile wide ii3re at this point is kept in an uproar ail the time with boats plowing her sur¬ face with loads of exports and im¬ port* ; also, two large—very large— Wqt» are kept busy transfer ing whole trams from one side of the riv >r to the other, this sight I had the pleasure to see. Now I will leave this mammoth city and let. cur readers draw on their imaginations as to its great- ae?s. Up the Iliinoise Central, one of the greatest roads in the U. S., we go. J. D. McKenzie.

Death has come and taken from us One that we for years have known, And our hearts are bowed in sadn’ss Knowing he’s forever gone. Gone from this world of trial, Where life’s frail craft he steered, Gone from his loving family To whom he was endeared, Gone from his fond acquaintances, With whom life’s joys he shared Gone from the busy marts of trade, Where he could ill be spared. Gone from his loved companion And left her here to tnouin, For his Supreme Grand Master Had summoned bioi to come.

I To com? 8 , he comes; the lire fiend comes On high he rolls with glee, Nor reeks he ought of man’s distress For a merciless Head is he. ile stalks about iu the mirk midnight, And lavuvus the chilly sdr, The sleeper wakes, and starts with dread To hear the cry of “Fire!” ’Tis sal to see the work of years O’er tnnied in i n hour's Lime, To see blows wasted we have struck, Een, in our manhoods’s prime. To see our labor turn to dust, From whieli at first it came, And (eel in the eve of tile’s decline We must strike those blows again. As each reverse a lesson brings, By this one we may glean That, too much care cannot be used, To defeat the loui “Fire Fiend.” i And though through many weary years We plod along life’s way, May we never see such w anton waste, As tile “Fire Fiend” wrought to-day. The Printer’s Consolation. Tell me, ye winged winds, That ’round my pathway lay, Is there no place on earth Where whispering printers get their pay? The breeze went by— With accents filled wi'h woe A voice borne on the sorrowing air In sadness answered, “No.” Tell me, yo flowing streams, That smoothly glide along, Is there one cherished place Where printers meet no wrong? The gentle brook replied, In murmers soft and low, And winding on its verdant way, It meekly answered, “No.” Tell me, ye mnrksy clouds, Now rising in the west,. Is there upon the globe One spot by printers blest? The 11 lihis g cloud? .ruAspoke With an indignant glow, A voice that filled the earth with awe In thundei? answered, “No.” Tell me, bard-boated man, Withholding day by day, Is there no honor in thy breast The printer’s bid so pay? Unanewering turns he round — How plain his actions show ; An uttered oath-capped sound is beard His actions answered, “No.” Tell me, ye gentle nymphs, Who bless life’s hours through, Is there one sacred shrine Where printers her get their due? Amantli’g blush cheeks diffus’d Did ten fold grace impart, A soft responsive sigh replied, "Tie found in woman’s heart.”' Tell me, angelic hosts, Ye messengers of love, Shall suitering printers here below Have no redress above? The angel band replied : “To us, is knowledge given— Delinquents on the printer’s books, Can never enter Heaven 1” PROFESSIONAL CARDS. Or. W. L.
