THE GEORGIA CRACKER. Gainesville, Ga.,Deo. 1*7* 1898, L£- EDITORIAL paragraphs. Northeast Georgia mines are on a boom. Gainesville will continue on the forward march. The cold wave struck Georgia in full force this week. Christmas egguogg will soon cause the clumsy individual to limber up. For general wrangling and do ing nothing call on the Georgia legislature. President McKinley’s visit through the South will not Repub- licanize this section. The city election passed off quietly and very satisfactorily to the majority of voters. The Georgia colonels met in 'Atlanta this week to show the President a thing or two. Times are hard and money is close. Economy must be prac ticed by everybody next year. General Fitzhugh Lee has again set foot on Cuban soil, and he’ll keep order there or break a trace. The weather ffian has furnished us hog killing weather the past week whether he intended it or not. THE PROPER SENTIMENT. The following is the address of President McKinley before the Georgia legislature Wednesday : “Sectional lines no longer mar the map of the United States. Sectional feeling no longer holds back the love we bear each other. Fraternity is the national anthem, sung by a chorus of forty-five states and our territories at home and beyond vhe seas The union is once more the common altar of our love and loyalty, our devotion and sacrifice. The old flag again waves over us m peace with .new glories, which your sons and ours have this year added to its sacred folds. What cause we have for reioicing, saddened only by the fact that so many of our brave men fell on field or sickened and died from hardship and exposure, and others returning bring wounds and disease from which they will long suf fer. The memory of the dead will be a precious legacy, and the disabled will be the nation’s care. “A nation which cares for its disabled soldiers, as we*.have always done, will never lack defenders. The national cemeteries for those who fell in battle are proof that the dead as well as the living have our love. What an army of silent sentinels we have, and with what loving care their graves are kept! Every soldier’s grave made during our Distress After Eating Pains in the Head and Constant Aching of the Joints—All Have Been Completely Cured by Hood’s Sarsaparilla. “I was troubled with a pain in my stomach after meals and a constant ach ing in my joints.

The people of Georgia are deep ly interested in ballot reform, and as many do .not understand tlve Australian ballot system, which unfortunate civil war is a tribute to }-.' r>een suggested for this state, Atlanta’s great Peaee Jubilee was a grand success. It was the first real peace jubilee held since tbe war. Secretary of the Interior Bliss has tendered his resignation as a member of President McKinley’s cabinet. Col. W. J. Bryan has re signed from the army and will take up actively the discussion of political questions. The treaty of peace has been signed by both the American and Spanish commissioners and the war is at end forever.
