FOR 1898.
The Cracker has started, the new
year with the determination of
filling its mission as a represent
ative newspaper of Gainesville
and Hall county in every sense of
the word. It will leave no stone
unturned when the interests of
its home town and home county
are at stake, but it will conscien
tiously labor for the advancement
and upbuilding of Gainesville and
this section.
As the true exponent of Democ
racy, it will ever*be outspoken for
the principles of the party and will
earnestly contend for those things
deemed for the best interests of
the people. /

Cracker and Gainesville during

Worthy undertaking, by the way
A YEAR OF POLITICS.
1898 will be a year of politics in
Georgia. A Governor of the em
pire state of the South will be
elected this fall; congressmen
from each of the districts will be
chosen; representatives in both
houses of the legislature will be
elected; and the various county
offices will be filled by the votes of
the people.
The people of the state have a
very grave .duty before them
Though it is early to even hint of
politics it is, nevertheless, not
amiss to mention the fact that
nothing but the best and truest
men and most loyal Democrats
must be put forward for any posi
tion by the party. None but good
men are needed, and none but
good men must be elected.
In almost every campaign each
party is burdened with hungry
office-seekers who are willing to
sacrifice principle, party and every
thing else in order that they may
be permitted to suck the public
teat. Such men must be frowned
down upon, discountenanced and
be made to stand aside that the
better element may be unham
pered, and better prepared to fight
for victory.
That Democrats may start the
new year with a full knowledge of
their duty, these facts are im
pressed upon them that they may
know what is their duty, and know
ing it dare maintain it. In these
fin de seicle days the old axiom
“a good beginning makes a, bad
ending” has been reversed or,
rather, changed so that it now
reads, “a good beginning makes a
better ending.” , So, it is but
to start well, and end
Eczema
All Her Life.

Mr. E. D. Jenkins, of Lithonia, Ga.
•ays that his daughter, Ida, inherited a
severe case of Eczema, which the usnal
mercury and potash remedies failed to
relieve. Year by year she was treated
with various medicines, external appli
cations and internal remedies, without
result. Her sufferings were intense,
and her condition grew steadily worse.
All the so-called blood remedies did not
seem tc reach the dis
ease at all until S.

an improvement
was at once noticed.

At the dawning of a new year that
bears every indication of success, and
a reasonably “good time" at least, for
the people generally, it will be well
perhaps to cast a retrospective vision
into the year just numbered with the
forever past, and note with accuracy
the mistakes and failures made as well
as the successes which have come to us.
As far as each reader is personally
concerned, the writer is unable to tell,
but in regard to Gainesville’s citizenry
as a whole, much could be .said. The
year 1897 has been an eventful year.
Our people have been successful in
business matters and have enjoyed
themselves in a social way. A great
deal of business along many lines has
been carried on in Gainesville, but the
good people have not neglected the
moral and social side of-life.
Among the most important signs of
progress transpiring during the year
may be chronicled the completion and
dedication of the auditorium building
of the Georgia Female Seminary. At a
great cost this magnificent structure
was erected—a noble monument to the
untiring efforts of the associate presi
dents of this grand institution of
learning for the young ladies, and an
ever present reality showing the liberal
magninimity of the citizens of the
“Queen City.” In this auditorium the
eighteenth annual commencement ex
ercises were held last June, at which
time a large class of young ladies re
ceived graduating diplomas. During
the summer the first session of the
Southern Chautauqua Assembly was
held in this hall, a movement that
should ever receive the favor and
hearty co-operation of all. These ser
vices proved a benediction to the
entire community.
Many new buildings, business houses
and residences, have been erected.
New firms have been established, and
many new people have added their
names to the swelling list of Gaines
ville’s population.
Among other happenings of interest
may be mentioned: State Baptist Con
vention, 'which met with the First
Baptist church; an interesting session
of Hall county teachers Institute;
excellent additions to the Gainesville
public school building; big revival ser
vice conducted by Rev. W. P. Fife; an
earnest effort to secure a military
school for Gainesville;x many improve
ments in our manufactories; interesting
election for mayor, and three council-
men; decision in favor of payiug in
full city’s indebtedness.
In the county, things have passed
off very nicely. Farmers* really have
nothing to fret about. While cotton
has been sold for less than the proper
price, a good crop of corn and other
staples has been harvested, and hog
and hominy raised in sufficient abun
dance. More has be^n done in lifting
mortgages and settling old debts than
usual. The county commissioners and
the good citizens have waged a fierce
war on “bad roads,” and active steps
have been taken, for their betterment.
The county home is in fine condition,
and great good has been done in caring
for the needy. A charter has been
applied for to build an electric road,
connecting Gainesville and Dahlonega,
but whether the project will be* carried
to a successful termination remains to
be seen. One thing Hall county people
should feel exceedingly grateful over,
viz., their escape from epidemics of any
description, and for the manifold
blessings bestowed upon them.
In the state. Georgia has been all
right. It is impossible to enumerate
all the important events of state. But,
ia the hands of tried and true men, the

In the United States, the year has
been marked by the opening of a new
administration of government; by
comparative political quiet; abundant
crops; and a gradual improvement in
business* The Dingley Tariff Law was
passed by a special session of Congress
in March, but the effect has not been
what was expected. x No action was
taktin in regard to the currency. A
treaty providing for the annexation of
the island of Hawaii was laid before
the present session of Congress in De
cember, with the favor of President
McKinley. Different state elections in
the fall showed a considerable drift
against the republicans, with laVge
democratic gains. In Greater New
York, the Tammany candidate for
mayor —VanWyck—was successsful.
Among the sadder events of the year’s
history may he counted the floods
along the Mississippi river; several big
labor strikes; epidemic of yellow fever
in southern Mississippi and Alabama,
the death rate being very small.
Remarkable gold discoveries in the
Klondike regions have given promise
of great gains to those interested.
Many have flocked to the rich gold
fields in Alaska.
In other countries. The war in Cuba
has been carried on, the insurgents
doing good fighting and holding their
own against the Spanish armies well,
but have not gained their freedom.
They will accept nothing but absolute
independence. The relation between
the United Slates and the Spanish
government has caused more or less
anxiety, but Spain made friendly
reply to our representations. The an
nexation of Cuba to the United States
is supposed to be out of the question.
A change of ministry hag, been brought
about in Spain since the assassination
of the prime minister, Canovas, and
liberal reforms have been offered Cuba.
There have been uprisings in the
Phillipine Islands, and Spain has here
again been troubled. England has
celebrated with great pomp the six
tieth anniversary of the accession of
Queen Victoria. France has made an
alliance with Russia. A revolt in the
island of Crete against Turkey moved
Greece to take the part of Crete, but
the Turks defeated the Greeks, and
the great powers had to interfere to
stay the cruel hand of the sultan, but
onorous terms df peace were imposed
on the unfortunate Greeks. In Asia,
the great Siberian railway has been
built across the continent. India has
been visited by a famine and a plague.
Crops in foreign countries have not
been good. All our crops have been
abundant and we have supplied the
necessary demands and kept plenty
for home consumption beside.
