ALEX- CHURCH, Cleveland, Georgia, February 1 28, , , t ■: ___._ ____ ----- General .Grant and party are now the city of Mexico. The can have him all the time for what care. Mr. H- G, .Wright, a prominent tar of the Georgia press, died in Jefferson county. Mr. Wright an able writer, and will be missed. The Daily Constitution, Atlanta, Is oDe'of the best dai ies now in the United States. The National will be held in the city of Ohio, ou the 22nd of,June next, for purpose of nominating a candidate for. Rreeiaent. .Who will .be ' the lucky man ? ThejPastor of Cleveland oireuit will preach at, Chattahoochee t Church on Saturday and .Sunday, the 28th 29th instant. .There wiil be a meeting of the Board pf Education on Saturday ,6th March, to which the Trustees of the different invited- ■J . • districts are TO THE PUBLIC. Under the most adverse circum¬ stances, we commenced the publication ' Advertiser, 10th of the Cleveland on the day of January 1880. We have, with mnch difficulty managed to issue this , the 8th No. We had been out of the publishing bus¬ iness for about twenty years, apd of course we were, and are yet. “rusty,’’ -but we hope yrb will soon be .able to get oat our paper jo circulation, good style. which We have a good is daily multiplying. Our advertising patronage is rapidly increasing; and now ail that is necessary to make the Advertiser & success, ia for the people of White county, who are already eub acribers, to come aDd help us with the small amount of one dollar each, and also those outside of the county. When this is done it places us upon a firm basis, financially: and it is your duty to yourselves, to yourcountry and to your children. It would prove to the world that yon are a generous and enterpris ing people* JVhen ycxu have come up to the support of your county paper, you have Sod© yopz part, and as for us, ■ we are detorminejfl to do our part to the utmost of our ability. We are aware that we have secret enemies, who would, if it were in their power thwart our enterprise: but we expect to move forward and do our duty, in a plain aDd an independent manner, and if the good labor, which we are satisfied they do, we fear no danger. vfe have Dot taken hold of this enter¬ prise entirely for our own benefit, but for the advancement of the interests of the country in which we live. Of ■course, we desire to make a decent living for ourself and family: outside of this jt is oar intention to build upourcoun try—Agriculturally, mechanically, mor ally, socially and religiously. If has been, and shall oontinuo to be our course, to denounce boldly and in dependency everything that we know to be wrong, and in the same manner encourage everything we know to bo right, having the word of God for our g U i,] e Feeling our inability as a writer, we solicit correspondents on all matters of interest to the country at large, and especially to our immediate section, We are aware that there are persons in our country as well as in all other countries, who take no imerest in any thing outside of their own personal gain; bat we know it is perfectly natnr al for “self to be the more prom nent object in view; but it is, neverthe wicked ., , and , unregenerate „ less, la conclusion we ask all to come and heip us to build up a good news paper in our midst, and to build up county. Communicated.] TOWN PRIDE. Every citizen ought to build up his own community. He ought t6 take pride in seeing his town advance. . JEJe ought to do all in his power to advance the interests of ,tbe whole number, and forego his owu personal whishes some¬ times. It is mortify ing to see the small, mean, sectionel divisions that there are in some small places. The idea of do ing a thing for the bedefit of the com¬ mon good is an idea .that .would almost be considered insane in some places. There are places where every man is for himself. No thought of the public good is considered. No pride in a com¬ mon advancement. A town will not build up materially uDtil the small, mean, niggardly, hardfisted prejudice ia overcome, and a spirit of broad-hearted charity aDd liberality takes its place. Selfishness always defeats -itself. A selfish man is not a progressive man. A town made up of selfish people will never be a progressive town. Every cit izen ought to stand bv his merchant— trade with him, encourage him. If there are lawyers and physicians, they ought to be encouraged. If there are mechauics there, they ought to be patronized. If there are churches they oaght to be built up, for the church ia the best censervator of public peace in the land. If there is a school, tha'Jschpol ought to be patronized preferably to all others, u0 ma tter what may be the likes or di likes of parents. A man who does not educate his child, does a wrong to that child, commits a sin against that child, that an eternity of tears and penitence cannot .atone for. An uneducated child is incapacitated for almost every occu¬ pation in life but t.c turn the sod. His power to advance hac been ruined, and the parents alone are to blame for ibis uurighteous deed toward an innocent being. Let every citizen encourage every home enterprise. Let him first subscribe for his county paper, and then work for its advancement, and the ad¬ vancement of every other laudable enterprise, and his town will grow in many ways. Something else is required of a.citizen than drinking mean whis¬ key and taking no interest in his town, in order tk build up his town. For The Advertiser.] TEMPERANCE. Seeing an article iu your last papi r Eignod “Yonah,” calling to the hots to join him in a temperance toform, 1 thought it would not bo amiss to drop in a word or two by way of encourage rnent. There has been so much said on this subject, that it seems as If it might J of intemperanco ©xbausted; but tlie continually evil sonsequsnees looming are up before us, giving new items. It is a subject that has too long bt®n nrg lected by the people of all parts of the country, much to the disadvantage! of every taumau being upon the globe. Now l ask every good citizen to take the matter into consideration. Give it j, some thought—serious, '. ’ sober, honept „ ,,,. , , , . I * 1 fluence of , intemperauce . in . the use of , intoxicating spirits, than all things else combined. Nine murders out of ten are the effects of it. Nine sepejratioEB of man and wife, out of ten are the ef ! lecl8 ^' De f a i' ures 1° business out of ten are the effects of it. Nine ohildren oat of tea that are now cast upon tho cold charities of the world are the ! effects of it. The scarcity, and high i prices of bread are the effects of it. Ail j the loafers and dead-beats that now intest our land are the effects of it. The uncultivated aDd tainted condition of society is more or less the effects of >t» The disgusting and inhuman Ian guage so often used upon the streets and other publio and private places are the effects of it. In short, it is the greatest evil of the age, and what is to be most i lamented, it continues to grow. Sad ! thought. There must bo a remedy, i —there must be a reform. It men can not by reason be taught to reform, there ought to be some other process by which a reform may be effected- A spedy re¬ form > 8 necessary An effectual reform 1 I s Dece6sar y- How is 10 be doD0 * : Is It to be done through the encourage* ^ of tb# tto]awful manufacturing ^ vendlDg> and drinking strongdrinkf. } tbink not >p ben hr j^ j t to be done?

Think of it for one moment. A sad indeed. All that is necessary to a reform is a united effort. We many of our friends—dear friends whom we love, who suffer them¬ selves to be led astray, and we them t* desist; be men, and show bold front in reforming themselves, and every one else who have become to this bard master- Do not nate, but lay hold at once, with and determined resolution to and never give up until the work accomplished- Let the motto be w rland upward, and hasten the wheu the tainted breath of the shall not be among ns to offend disgust those who shun the beverage as they would a viper.
