ANNOUNCEMENT.
Beginning February Ist, the
subscription price of tho Newa-
Herald will be .$1 per annum in
plae>‘ of 75 cents, the preaeut pre
vailing price. We give a month’s
•notice that all who care to renew
may come in on the old price.
We find this step necessary in
order to meet the increased price
of the cost of paper and material,
and besides there is no money in
publishing a weekly newspaper the
size of the News-Herald for less
than sl. Niue-tenths of the
country weeklies get .ft or more
for subscriptions and can hardly
make ends meet at that.
We propose to give our readers
an up-to-oate paper containing all
the local news pertaining to the
town and county. The newspaper
is a public benefactor in more
than one sense of the word, and
the News Herald will give value
received t > each subscriber and
advertiser for every cent expended
with us.
At the expiration of thirty days
the price of the News-Herald will
he $1: the price of the News-Her
ald and Semi-Weekly Journal
$1.50, and the News-Herald and
Weekly Constitution $1.75.
Those renewing before the first
of next month can get this paper
for 75 cents straight, the Consti
tution and News-Herald for $1.25
or the .Joural and Now-Herald for
$1.25.

John Rockefeller has offered
Mercer University $15,000 provid

Kansas has witnessed a burning
iu one of her cities. Thousands
of women and children witnessed
the agonies of the negro who suf
fered for the usual crime. And
Kansas is not in the south.
The students at West Point have
agreed to quit hazing. This is an
acknowledgment of their guilt,
and they took this means of stav
ing the indignation of the Ameri
can people who have determined
that such barbarism should cease.
Mat Quay goes back to the sen
ate from Pennsylvania. He is
the incarnation of damnable polit
ical rascality, and the men who
gold out to him and thus guaran
teed his election are as corrupt as
he.
THK BEST COUNTY
It is natural for every man of
any degree of pride to think that
he lives in the best town, county
and state in the world.
Judging from an editorial in
our bright contemporary, the Law
renceville News-Herald, Brothers
Morcock and Flanigan think
Gwinnett is the banner county of
the Btate.
Just there is where we differ.
We believe that Walton goos with
out uu equal. Her people are
ulive, progressive, cultured and
refined.
Indeed, Walton is one of the
leaders of the counties in Georgia
and with duo respect to our es
teemed neighbor we crown \V allon
queen of them all.
We clip the above from the
Walton News and Messenger. We
do not blame the editor for saying
that Walton is the banner county
but your know facts are facts and
Gwinnett leads. Some time ago
we heard one of Walton’s leading
citizens —one who goes all .over
the county and is a leader in his
county—say that Gwinnett county
in many respects was ahead of
either Walton or Jackson. Of
course we do not doubt this re
mark.
THE UUEKN ok unoland.
All the world has been looking
towprd the bedside of Queen Vic
toria for the last week, and ohris
endom has paused with uncovered
head to puy sincere homage to
possibly the greatest sovereign in
the world. She was born in 1819,
being the granddaughter of George
111. She became queen in 1837,
and crowned tlie following year.
She married her cousin, Prince
Albert of Germany, in 1840. Al
bert died in 1861, Victoria is the
mother of nine children, the sec
ond of which, Albert Edward, the
Prince of Wales, will become king
of the British empire. For more
than sixty-three years Victoria
has ruled over the destinies of the
greatest empire on earth, and
that her reign was long and glo
rious is fully known by all who
are conversant with the history of
the times. H r influence was felt
the world over, and no queen ever
lived a more circumspect and
noble life than the dying queen of
England.

LOCAL OVERFLOW.
Mr. J.O. Whitworth jollied the
! boys in the News-Herald office
: while turning over some cash in
exchange for the paper. He says
some of the bachelors on the foice
ought to get married, and h 6 pro
poses to help us out. “Barkis is
willing.”
Rev. A. J. Webb was in the city
Wednesday and called at the News-
Herald office to get some legal
blanks. “You can say for me,” he
remarked, “that the world is get
ting wiser and more wicked, and I
do not hold to the theory that we
are growing better. Look at these
recent kidnapings. It will soon
bo so that a rich man cannot trust,
his children to go out for fear they
will I>e stolen, and they will have
to be kept under lock and key.”
Major W. E. Simmons has been
elected president of the Lawrence
ville, Aunestown and Atlanta tel
ephone line, vice C. J. Hadeu re
signed. This is sufficient guaran
tee that the system will be a suc
cess. The line needs some repairs
and improvements and soon the
connection with Atlanta will be
in operation so aB t.O give satisfac
tion, which has not been the case
heretofore. Connection had to be
made with the Bell via Suwanee,
but by a little improvement per
sons can talk direct to Atlanta
over the ame system.
Postmast' r Cole has sold about
SBO worth of stamps since the Ist
of January, and the run is still on
at the office. “1 would not mind
it,” he said, “if I got the cancella
tion, but a large number of them
are sent oft' for remittances.” A
young man wanted a few' stamps
for the purpose of sending oft’ the
other day and the postmaster re
fused to let him have them for
fear he would run out before his
order was filled. The young man
in question got four or five per
sons to go to the office one at a
time and buy stamps for him in
small quantities until he got the
number desired
The sermon delivered at the
Methodist church Sunday morn
ing was said to have been the best
Rev. G. W. Griner has preached
since he has been in Lawrenceville.
His text was, ‘‘For bodily exercise
profiteth little; but godliness is
profitable unto all things, having
promise of the life that now is,
and of that which is to come.” —
1 Tim. 4:8. The minister said
faith was essential to a godly life,
and dwelt at length on the bene
fits of such a life while on this
earth. Sunday evening Mr Gri
ner preached from this text, “Is
thine heart right ?” and he made
a personal application of the
question to all present. The new
pastor of the Methodist church is
uu able minister, and he is fast
growing in favor with this people.

Important Notice.
To the farmers and manufactur
ers of Gwinnett county and north
east Georgia:
As a member of the executive
committee of the agricultural so
ciety of Georgia, it becomes my
duty to call your attention to the
approaching exposition, generally
known as the State Fair, to be
held in the city of Savannah du
ring the mouth of October, next.
I deem it proper to address you
upon this subject at this early day
in the year that in planning your
work you may now begin to ar
range to present an exhibit of your
industrial products that will be
worthy of your past record, and be
in fact a proper exhibit of the en
terprise, the skill, productive ca
pacity and resources of this invit
ing section ot our great state.
Allow me to remind you that at
the Cotton States and Internation
al Exposition held in Atlanta,
iwiunett was awarded the fir>t
place among the competing Coun
ties of the state, and I i.rge our
farmers and manufacturers uot
only to maintain the distinguished
position, but at the coming expo
sition to excel and surpass the
record so well made.
Now is the time for you to com
mence your preparations for an
other and a greater triumph.
The city of Savannah, your great
and wealthy seaport, is already at
work through her spirited citizens
to make the exposition of 1901 the
greatest event of the k’lid that has
ever marked the progress of Geor
gia.
Let this section of our state be
well and fully represented in all
of the many interests and produc
tive products of our people We
can and should exhibit the largest
and best yields of corn and small
grain, of cotton, not only in the
row but in a manufactured state,
Our factories should show to the
world that in the production of
any kind of goods we are not sur
passed in Europe or America. The
product of our dairies, and of our
orchards, the great variety of our
garden vegetables, the superior
handiwork of our housewives in
converting these preserves and
pickles, jams and jellies, all, all
should attest at Savannah in our
great state exposition, the re
sources of our section and the
spirit of an industrious, enterpris
ing and thrifty people.
Respectfully,
J E. Cloud,
Member Executive Committee
State Agricultural Society.
To the Good People of Buford.
With a deep sense of gratitude
we desire to express our sincere
appreciation of the many kind
expressions of your sympathy
during the illness of our loved sou.
These gentle acts of neighborly
kindness are the sweet tokens of
that Christian spirit which will
ever bind us to you in loving grat
itude.

IN THE COUNTRY SCHOOL.
For thk news-Hkrald.
The “big boy” is the problem which
puzzles the conscientious teacher in
Georgia, Especially is this true of the
rural teacher.
The “big boy” has been taught,some
times, as much “book learning” as his
fattier or his grandfather. He has
“gone through,” in a way,the ordinary
curriculum of the old-field school. He
can write a note to his girl which “does
for him,” but at which the shades of
Sophos would shudder when the spell
ing, grammar, expression and pen
manship were examined.
He doesn’t want to go to school any
more. But he needs much more to
make him an independent, self-sustain
ing citizen, and in the years of his
young manhood many costly install
ments of tuition must be paid to Ex
perience.
How to interest this “big boy” is the
question.
The writer believes if the teachers in
our country schools will offer these
boys an elementary business course
many will be rescued. Offer these
boys, bright and apt, “four months in
business.” Begin with the purpose
thoroughly emphasized to make every
detail of the course so practical that
the boy can use it profitably in what
ever work tie may enter. Give him a
month in business calculations, a
month in business forms, a month in
simple, everyday bookkeeping and a
final month in a “model business
school.” Let the teacher be not only
accurate in theory but intensely prac
tical and personal in the work. Fit
these “big boys” in four monthsof hard
work to master any common calcula
tion, to write any usual form of notes,
contracts, etc., to keep a plain set of
hooks—for the farm, in the gin, saw
mill, store or elsewhere.
This will bring many “big boys” back
to the Pierian spring and make them
better qualified to meet the problems
of living.
