We received twenty-three sub
ecribere to the News-Herald on
last Saturday.
Thad Adams has purchased the
Thomastou Times from J. M.
Strickland. Mr. Strickland was a
splendid newspaper man, and we
regret to lose him from the pro
fession.
We haven’t advertised a single
Sheriff’s sale since we have taken
charge of the News-Herald, This
speaks well for the people of Gwin
nett, bnt its hard on the Sheriff
and editors.
Among this week’s exchanges
is the “Walton Tribune,” pub
lished at Monroe, Ga., by former
editor of the News-Herald, W. O,
McNelley. It is an eight-page,
six column paper, all home print;
well printed, and full of good
reading matter.
Among our exchanges we find
“The Standard,” a new paper
published at Lithoma, Ga., and
edited by Mr. J. S. Mills, formerly
of this place. It is a creditable
sheet, and merits a liberal patron
age, which no doubt it will re
ceive.
Among our very first cash sub
scribers was the Hon. Thos. A.
Pate, of Gwinnett. He is one of
Gwinnett’s clever representatives
in the last legislature and will
stand for re-election. The Trib
une makes the prophecy right now
that the man who beats Pate will
to hustle. —Walton Tribune.
Hon. N. L. Hutchins, Jr., of
Lawrenceville, was over on legal
business yesterday and gave us a
pleasant call. He is one of Gwin
nett’s representatives in the legis
lature. Able, conscientious and
true to his convictions,Lew Hutch
ins graces any position he occu
pies, and the good people of Gwin
nett will no doubt honor him with
a re-election.—Walton Tribune.
Now is the time for the farmers
to terrace and turn their lands.
A farmer can make more money
by improving the land he already
has than be can by buying more
land. A farm that is worth only
six dollars an acre can lie improv
ed so much in three or four years
that its value will be doubled.
Let the farmer improve his farm.
It’s money to himself, money to
his neighbor, and money to his
county.
WILL SOLICITOR BRAND HAVE OP
POSITION T
C. H. Brand has made such an
[ enviable reputation as Solicitor
| General of the Western circuit
I that it has been generally con
[ ceded throughout the circuit that
he would have no opposition for
re-election. However, it is ru
mored that there is a possibility
that he will be opposed by Col.
Thomas J. Shackelford of Athens.
We were in school with Mr. Shack
elford and know that he possesses
a very high character of intelli
gence which has be6n highly cul
tivated. He, no doubt, would
make a good Solicitor-General,
should he be elected, but this will
be an inopportune time for him.
Mr. Braud has made one of the
I best Solicitors-General this circuit
I has ever had, the people know it,
I and they are anxiously awaiting
I the time for the first election of
I Solicitor-General to give approval
I to hie record by their ballots.
From th 6 information we have
I received from all the counties of
[the circuit, we are convinced that
[the people are satisfied with Mr.
I Brand, and intend to see to it that
Ihe be re-elected, especially as he
Ibas held the office but one term,
land has given general satisfaction.
I We further believe if their po-
Isitiouß were reversed, and Mr.
[Shackelford had held the office but
lonce, and made the faithful and
[efficient officer which Mr. Brand
|hasdone, as we believe Mr. Shack
lelford would do, that the people
■would be opposed to opposition to
■him from any source.
I We know that Mr. Brand has
■given up a large practice, accumu
lated after many years of hard
■work, so as to devote his entire time
|to the duties of his office, and wk
■think his faithful,prompt and fear
leas prosecution of the duties there
of has deserved and won for him the
Isteem and confidence of all class
pa of the people, and if Mr. ShHck
llford enters the race, in our judg
ment he will make a most serious
[nistuke.

“ About two years ago I began to rua
iown and soon became almost a wreck.
I lost my appetite and began to lose
flesh ; my blood was impoverished and
I had to leave our store.
“ The doctors gave me a little tonic,
but I steadily grew worse and consulted
another doctor. He helped me in some
ways, but my headaches continued, and
I began to have night sweats and my
reat was to disturbed that I would have
hysteria and would cry and worry over
business matters and my poor health.

The school at this place is build

ship is a little small at present,

have gone south, some to one place
and some to another, aDd even
some have taken their departure
from this world to a better one,
where they can attend a far much
better society than the Grady-Hill.
While of course it makes what few
members that remain feel sad in
deed to meet and find so many of
our old members absent. But we
are doing a good work now, and
earnestly beg all the boys and
young men in and around Trip
who are seeking for the right and
for an education, to join us, We
assure you that if you are not ben

the honor of being a Grady-Hill
boy.

STATE SCHOOITcOMMISSIOKER GLENN
Writes an Interesting Letter
to the County School Com
missioners.
Atlanta, Ga. , Dec. 28th, 1899.
To thr County School Commis
sioner: I send you by express this
week suppliesof all blanks you have
asked for. 1 send also copies of my an
nual report to the legislature, includ
ed a Bound copy for your office library.
Please distribute the extra copies of
the report among memders of the
County Grand Jury when that body
convenes. The legislature passed a
law taxing all dogs in the State, but
this law dogs not become effective in
any county until it lias the approval
of the Grand Jury. The Grand jury
should know that all money de
rived from the tax on dogs is added to
the school fund of the county. When
the people understand that this money
goes immediately back to their pock
ets in providing better school facilities
for the children, I am sure there will
be little opposition to this law. I shall
visit and address as many Grand Ju
ries as possible on this important mat
ter. If the law oan go into effect at
once it will add at least $250,000 to the
school fund of 1901. I beg, therefore,
that you will go before the Grand Jury
of your county as soon as that body
convenes, and urge the members to rat
ify the act of the legislature. If you
find that you will need help in this
matter advise me at ouoe.
Another important act was passed
by the legislature, fly this act all li
cences or diplomas authorizing the
holders to teach without examination
except those holding State certidcates
issued by this department, nave been
revoked. The Attorney-General ad
vises me that there can be no except-
Lawrenceville • Public • Schools.
Spring term begins Monday, Jan. 8, 1900, with Professor
C. R. Ware as Superintendent. There is no reason why
we should not have one of the best schools in Georgia.
The drainage of Lawrenceville is so excellent that the
healthfulness of the place is almost proverbial. The rail
road and mail facilities are good; the rates of tuition are
very low; while the culture and refinement of the citizens
cannot be excelled. The rates of tuition are as follows:
1 st and 2nd Grades 50c per month.
3d, 4th, and sth Grades 75c “
6th, 7th, Bth and 9th Grades $ 1.00 “
Information regarding any one who contemplates going
away to school will be highly appreciated.
For further information, address
C. R. WARE,
Supt. City Schools, Lawrenceville, Ga.
ion allowed under the law. I tried be-1
fore the committee to have the two
normal schools exempted from the op
eration of this law, bnt the legislature
sti uek out the amendment, and thus
positively refused to exemt anybody
except those holding State certificates.
You will observe thst the incren*ein
rhe school fund of 1900 over 1899 is
about $50,000. This is about six cents
per child of school age.
I am glad to note the gratifying
progress thst has been made during
the year is centralizing the schools
and building new and comfortable
school houses. If this wise policy is
continued for a few years longer, we
shall have a good,'well furnished school
house in every school district in the
State.
The book reports from ninety-seven
counties show that the average cost of
books per child enrolled for i 899 was
28 cents. lam satisfied, that with the
books on hand all books could here
after be supplied to the children of
each county in the State at a cost not
exceeding 50 cents per child. That is
to say, if the County Hoard could col
lect from each child 50 cents at the be
ginning of I he school > ear, this money
could supply all the new books needed.
With the cash on hand, you could buy
from any publisher at a discount of
20% off the list prices. In this way
you could settle this book question for
all time. The plan above mention is
practically the Ohio plan, which is re
garded as one of the best schemes yet
devised for the purchase of books.
Later on I shall prepare a careful
statement showing the character and
cost of books under .State uniformity
for the consideration of our County
Boards. I trust this statement may be
of service to them hereafter. During
the session of the legislature another
effort was made to foist this State un
iformity business on thejeountry peo
ple of this State, excluding the towns
and cities from the operation of the
proposed law. The scheme met an ig
nominious defeat in the House. It uni
formity is good for oouniy schools, it
is good for city schools. The simple
truth is, it has been an edncational
curse wherever it has been tried This
uniformity scheme has often been used
as a hobby horse to ride into office,and
publishers of cheap and worthless
books have used it to secure the adop
tion of books that cannot stand the re
lentless test of fait and open competi
tion. The educational history of each
State where the people have been fool
ed with.it, shows that the demagogues
who profited by it have been quickly
scourged out of office, and that the peo
ple, recovering tbeirchildreeand dash
ed them back into obscurity whence
they came. This is simple history that
is now repeating itself in several States
where this wretched piece of folly is
perpetrated at the expense of the chil
dren. But I shall have more to say
of this matter hereafter.
The election id’ all County School
Commissioners will occur in Febuary,
during the first or second week. The
questions for the examination will be
mainly practical questions concerning
supervision of schools, administration
of the school law, etc.
During the year we have had three
deaths in our ranks. Hon. J. E. Ros
ser,oV Walkercounty, Hon. J.J. Grant,
Baber county, and Hon. John A t>aye,
Morgan County. They were good and
useful men, all of fbetn. The work that
they did in their respectave counties
for the salvation of the children will
cause their names to be honored, and
their memories to be revered through
years to come.
Trusting that the new year may
bring to you and to the members of
your Board God’s richest blessing, and
that His infinite wisdom may direct
the teachers, and that His loving prov
idence may defend and save all the
children, I am,
Yours Sincerely,
G. R. Glknn,
State School Commissioner.

QUESTION ANSWERED. "
Yes, August Flower still hits the
largest sale of auy medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers
aud grandmothers uever thought
of using anything «ls« for Indiges
tion or Billiousneab. Doctors were
scarce, and they seldsm heard of
Appendecitis, Nervous Prostration
or Heart Failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the
system 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 had with
headaches aud other aches. You
only need a few doses of Green’s
August Flower, in liquid form, to
make you satisfied there is noth
