The Herald is fortunate in the class of enemies it has. They are few, but they do ns lots of good in their way. Strive ever so hard, could not please us better i by opposing us. Fcr the nejcfc wqek, now, the pa¬ pers will have something t» ta'k about—there’s been another bliz¬ zard ! It was truly rough weather, but cotqpiu'ed to the one of la@t piontli it was a gentle zephyr, Some of the papers ar, talking about Grover Cleveland as a dem cratic presidential possibility next ) T ear. Are they joking, or do limy really think that Cleveland and his party will ever get together? EffOM the papers we see that our sister town, Swainsboro, is trying to get a cotton factory. It she is really trying, the chancos are she’jl gqt it, for they’ve got plenty of ipoqey and plenty of “push” up there. A copy ot the \Vifegras§ Blade, published in Swainsboro, has been received at this office. It’s “chock full” of local nqws, and no doubt will obtain a good support ip its county. Geo. Bell, the editor and publisher, is a hustling boy. All that heated rivalry between Admirals Schjey and Sampson, over tho Santiago victory, seems to hava bepn of small mopient af¬ ter all. Their respective admirers niatio u great ado about where the credit belonged, but when the sen¬ ate came to pass upon the matter Schley was nut a couple of points ahead of Sampson. This js as it be. THTan^RE THE REASONS. Tire Times was inquiring m a very innocent way a few weeks ago why .the Sheriff Hud Ordinary had seen ill to withdraw their patron ago from it. At the time iho edi tor p<*»ued that inquiry h« was, to i eluulit. praying for it to g wr.«n and ho probably con granulates himself that it has so iar been unnoticed. Now, so Liras the Times editor is concerned n.e npeas no answer, for ho • lias long ago—before lie wrote tho inquiry reterred to— been personally informed by the token ei, 11 and „ , Ordinary N , of their . reasons for . quitting him. Vhen lie says to the contrary we are constrained to think that bis memory is very deficient, or else —well—the truth is, he know their reasons as well as they knew them themselves when lie sought to liainboozle his readers by pieadinc ignorance. Itmuybe, hoyevar, that arc among his reactors some who arc interested in knowing the truth ftbout the matter, and The this time to announce „ tew ot the reasons. V» hen tbs Times man bought tho printing business from the present editor of The xIerald he lackr-d an eveq thon sa nd dollars of paying ^ iu b for 1U1 1L it When the last payment ing to near $700) camp due in November the Times man wanted Y** iponoy. ‘>a.v» ouly HU in intentions which to ra wtsre 13 «oat»V P S ~n'Xn ' 1 : ' could ask for. Mhen patience . had ceased to be a virtue with The Herald man, however, and the mortgage had been put into an execution, the Times man sought legal counsel, who inform Pjl him that he could gain time by swearing that he didn’t owe a pent of the amount claimed and he went into the court and made affidavit to such a statement. The Times editor was thereupon infurmed that unless he settled his honest debts tho Sh^vitT and Ordinary would withdraw then advertising and give it to a rival paper. He called upon both if these gentlemen before The Herald was ever started up, to ascertain if this was true; and both plainly informed him that they could not stand by him unless he settled his just obliga tions at a hundred cents on the del {ar instead cf doiu" aa ho had done—attempting off sixteen month's to after swear they then; were contracted. As we said, he knew all of these reasons before The Herald was started—a month before he un¬ furled to ihe world that -innocent little inquiry! And if he tad been honest with his readers he would have spared The Herald lie. Hie easy There job of making other things them pub- that are can be said on this subject when occasion demands it. Little Jog Bailpy, of Texas, is mad. He openly vqws that he will never lend the democratic side - ; of congress any more. IIow rash and how vexatious! The trouble with the little fellow is that he wanted to refuse to seat Gen. Wheeler in congress, and the majority of the democrats there begged to differ with him. It is barely possible, however, that Bailey’s rash vow is superfluous— the democrats seem to have quit following oven a little while before 1 he decided to stop leading. •Statesboro, Ga..
