The News-Herald. Entered »t Lewretire.iUe po.tofflcc a. Mcond-elu* matter. PUBLISHED KVKRY FRIDAY Official Organ Gwinnett County. Uiwocwtlle Publishing Co., Proprietors. JAMES A. Bto WML, Editor. J. A. PERKY, Awocine Editor. HOW FOR I*oo. The man who loves Georgia better than his own county isn’t full of patriotism. First your home, then your county, then your state. First your county paper, then your state papers. We intend to make the News- Herald for 1900 better than it has ever been. To do this, we need the co-operation of the best, peo ple of the county. If you take the paper yourself, speak to your neighbor, who does not take it, about his subscription. If you know of anything that will be of interest to the people, send it to us. We want our correspondents to write each week, if possible. Your letter may not be of very much interest to people of the other side of the county, but they will be highly interesting to the people of your community. This is a great political year. Every officer from the President to the Bailiff is to be elected. We ■hall give our readers the plat forms aud candidates of all the political parties. Our county af fairs aud county elections will be of special interest to you. There fore, you can’t afford be without the News-Herald for 1900. Judge Richard B. Russell’s firm stand for good roads in the West ern circuit is commendable. Every county in the circuit has better roads thau ever before, and Clarke county is even grading hers. IS IT TBS 19th OB 90th CENTURY? One writer says: “Represent the moment of the birth at Beth lehem with a zero mark if you please, but it remains true that the first year of the Christian era, or the year 1, did not come to an end until 865 days had elapsed, likewise the first century could not be completed until the last second of the last day of the 100th year had passed. The first year of the second century was there fore numbered 101, and if so the first year of the twentieth centu ry must be numbered 1901. That is all we can see in it. It is true that 1900 stands for 1900 years < but a year is not a mere second of time that comes and is gone in a twinkling. We begin to write 1900 next Monday, not because 1900 years have passed, but be cause the 1900th year has begun. When it is completed we shall write 1901 and thus begin to count the years of the new century.” Another writer says: “Begin at the beginning, which for the sake of clearness, we may call zero; then, when a year has passed, you may count 1, after which you will be in the second year, which, when completed, will count 2. And so, if you continue this method of calculation through the centuries till 1900 is reached, the record will be that 1900 years have pass ed and the nineteefith century is complete; and what comes after midnight on December 81, 1899, must of necessity belong to a new century, the twentieth. ” It seems to us that the first reasoning is correct, and that the trouble with the second is that the premise is wrong, therefore the conclusion must be wrong. You should not wait till the end of the first year to count one, as suggested by the second writer, because at any time during the year 1 the date would have been in the year of our Lord 1, so in the year 1900 any date means in the 1900th year, and not that 1900 years have already passrd. A New York Physician Advises His Patient to Take Lydia E. PinKham’s Vegetable Compound. [latte* to >u finkhah ho. 7j,sj6] “ Dear Mbs. Pinkham—l have threo children and suffered with falling of the womb and flooding. My physician agraped the womb, still the flooding ooirtigiied and I was no better.

A chilly debut for the new year, though somewhat warmed up by the race for Mayor of the city ou New Year’* day, which resulted in the election of L. R Martin by a mnjoritv of 99 votes.

May they all have a pros perous New Year The Christmas tree at the Meth odist curch Monday night and the Arch at the Baptist church Tues day night were occasions much en joyed by old as well as young. The entertainment at the Bap tist church was greatly added to by an address from Col. Perry of Lawreuceville, who has made a good impression on our people, aud I hear such talk as they would like to honor him in the near fu ture. The work on the Chattahoochee bridge is fast reaching completion and will be ready for public cross ing in a few days and Forsyth will begin to pour her wealth into the lap of Gwinnett which Hall has been bo bountifully receiving since the bridge washed down. The sudden death of Dr. J. C. Harris, of Suwanee, cast a gloom over our town, where he was well known. The county has lost a good citizen, and Suwanee a phys ician whose place will be hard to fill. Mr. Fuller, who moved here Walton county about a year ago, died suddenly at his home last week, with cramp colic. Christmas passed off quietly, without auy trouble to mar the good order of the town which goea to show that wo have an orderly town. A happy am! prosperous New Year to the News-Herald. McKENDKIE.

The Christmas tree at Mount Pleasant was highly enjoyed by all pregent. T. W, Liddell has finished his new house. Übet will be a town yet if uotbiug happens Never before have we seen so quiet a Christmas. There was no drinking to amount to anything in our community, and there is no need of any at all.

Wood moving to Lawrenceville. C. W, Griswell and son, Alec, are moving to Atlanta. We think our self, if the state can’t afford to pay the Georgia teacher a living salary, it should considerjthe matter, before build ing Atlanta a new depot. What does the teacher and his friends say ? We think educated children would be worth more to our coun try than the Atlanta depot. Our school is good, with an en rollment of 57; we predict a suc cessful term. HUSH. J. H. Elder aud family visited friends and relatives here last week.

It would be quite a convenience to the people upon the mail line from Ltwrenceville to Caleb if the party who has the contract would get someone to carry the mail wiTtF enough accommodation about them to take and bring mail from, the office for pay. With this issue we retire from the correspondent’s position at Snellville, after having been the correspondent for the Gwinnett Herald, Lawreuceville News and News-Herald, in all about eight, years.

Your mothers and grandmothers never thought of usiug anything else for Indiges tion or Billiousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldsm heard of Appendecitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart Failure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the •ystem and stop fermentation of undigested food, regulate the ac tion of the liver, stimulate the nervous and organic action of the system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other aches. You only need a few doges of Green’s August Flower, in liquid form, to make you satisfied there is noth ing serious the matter with you. Sample bottles at Bagwell Drug Store. Lawreneeville, R. O.
