Ruby,Ga. Jan. 12th.-EditorNews :
We are having plenty of cold
rainy weather at present. The far¬
mers are about done put ing in
their crops af oats, an unusual amt.
was sewed. Spring work will soon
open in full blast preparing the
land for another big crop of 7 cent
cotton, we hop8 that every man will
reflect seriously before planting
tt eir crop and be sure to plant- a
suiTicientsupply for home purposes.
Dr. T. W. Ellis reports a great
many cases of lagrippe and pneu¬
monia in this vicinity, and he is
kept very busy attending the sick,
but will not tell what he doeB for
the grip.
Prof. G. \V. Brundy, the veteran
school teacher, we learn will soon
open a school at Hearn Creek acad¬
emy, which means nothing but suc¬
cess for the school whereever he
teaches. We also learn that Prof -
O. L. Chestnut will teach at Zion
Hope church. Prof. Walker has al¬
ready opened a school at Mill Creek.
Surely this part of Irwin County
is blessed in securing these able
teachers ali comparatively old men
and tauhgt school so long surely
thev have the experience and will
no doubt give satisfaction, we would
advise all who can to take advan¬
tage of this gol ien opportunity and
send their children to one ol these
three excellent scln ols, for it ran'
be some time until you get another
such chance. Ciiula.

Mr. J..). Fountain request uh to
state that the citizens ol his com¬

der the very able management of
Miss Mary MoClung, from Monte¬
zuma, and that if any children in
our town cannot be’accomodated
with school facilities, they would
be welcomed to tlnir school.
The News thanks Mr. Fountain
for his liberal proposition, and con¬
gratulates him and his neighbors
in employing such an efficient

he knows, ample facilities of the
best character, for all of our town
children. Again we thank you, Mr.

rroccetlings of the past week at the
National Capitol.
Washington, .Tan. 15.
From out regular Correspondent.
President Cleveland is an honest
man. and I believe he was sincere
when he said he had referred the
whole matter to Congress and
would be giad to co-operate with it
in the execution of any plan that
was consistent with the honor, in¬
tegrity and morality of the United
States and for the best interest of
Hawaii. That was the comment
made by chairman McCreary ofthe
House committee on Foreign Af¬
fairs on the Hawaiian correspon¬
dence laid before the House Satur¬
day and the Senate today. Mr. Mc¬
Creary said the committee on Rules
had promised him the right of way
and that just as soon as the tariff
bill was disposed of he proposed to
call up this Hawaiian business -
That will make it likely to get
before the House before it is taken
tip by the Senate as it is not expect,
ed that tbs investigation of tho Sen¬
ate committee on Foreign Relations
will he completed by the 29, when
the House will pass the tariff bill.
Much has been said concerning
the abandonment by President
Cleveland of his Hawaiian policy.
I can state upon unquestioned au¬
thority that the President has not
changed his opinion on the subject,
on the contrary, he is now more
strongly convinced than ever that
it would bo both wise and just to
restore the government which was
wrongfully overthrown by a misuse
of the power of the United States
in the hands of an intriguing Minis¬
ter, arid he believes that if Congress
will divest the subject of sentiment
and prejudice and place it on the
high ground of plain right and
wrong it will eventually arrive at
the same conclusion. That is just
the point. Congress seems to be
utterly unable to divest it of sen¬
timent and prejudice, ami for that
reason, if for no other, is not likely
to decide in favor of a restoration
of the former government of Haw-
aii.
Secretary Carlisle has directed
that the clerical force of the sixth
Auditor’s office be at once organ¬
ized. The reorganization includes
the abolishment ofthe examining
divi ion and the division of review
and numerous changes in the oth¬
er divisions, all in accordance with
the recommendations of the report,
ofthe Dockery committee to Cong¬
ress. Some employees will have to
be dropped and the republicans ia
i bo < fliue have an idea, probably a
cot re ct one, that they will all bo
republicans. Other thin s being eq¬
ual, Secretary Carlisle will give the
democrats the preference every
lime.
The decision of the democrats ou
the Ways and Means committee to
report the income tax as a separate
bill was obtained’ like the decision
in favor of the income tax itself, by
a majority of only one vote. There
is considerable talk among demo¬
crats about calling a democratic
caucus for tbe special puspose of
deciding whether the bill shall be
made a party measure, as the tar¬
iff bill is. There is no douot about
the income tax being favored by a
large majority of the democrats of
the House, but there are still e-
ntmgh demt orats opposed to defeat
it if the votes of ail the republicans
could he counted upon, nut if the
republicans follow Tom Reed, they
will refuse to vote when an attempt
is made to take up lire bill, just as
they did when the House
was lour days in getting a quorum
of democrats together to take up
the tariff bill. 11 tin y do that and
the democrats oppose to tho bill
,(l-o refuse to vote there will ho no
quorum and the bill cannot be ta¬
ken up. The approval of the demo¬
cratic caucus would certainly make
t o (measure more likely to pass.
Tim House coinage committee
has authoriz ‘d a fav .ruble report

current needs of the Treasury of
silver certificates for the seignor¬
age of silver bullion now on hand,
amounting to more thee $55 000,
0G0. The bill will be reported after
the tariff is disposed of.
The democrat,e of the House came
out of tqe week’s general debate ou
tho Wilson tariff bill with fiyiog
they roet the arguementsof
republicans at every point, and
votes of the House upon the u-
which will pe submitted
democratic me rubers who are
opposed to this or that schedule
will not meet the objections within
the party. These amendments will
be voted upon during the five-m’r-
utes debate which will go on until
time for taking the votes is
The final result is a fore¬
conclusion.
Secretary Carlisle is once more
victim of the rumor mongers.
Every act is misrepresented.
For iuetance, Senator Sher¬
man called at the Treasury Satur¬
afternoon and immediately
the telegraph wire weres made hot
by the sensational stories sent out

aid the Secretary in preparing for

And bounty all divine, prepares
Supplies for this new year.

And let thy loving-kindness still
Preserve ue through the year.
Confirm our souls in Thee,
In faith and holy fear,
And let a blessing Je3us be
Our song throughout the year.
