An exchange intimates that our
“style” for conducting a country
paper is incorrect. Ability has
something to do with the style one
adopts.
Charles F. Crisp should occupy
a seat in the United States Senate
as an acknowledgment from the
State of Georgia, of bis ability as
a statesman and as an endorse-
ment of his record in the Lower
House of Congress.
Without an evening mail from
Chattanooga the usefulness of the
Chattanooga Evening Hews is less
ened along the route of the A. G
S. It. R. Tha new schedule is a
severe blow to the News 'and we re
gret it very much.
The course adopted by the Alli
ance element of the Florida Legis
lature to defeat Call for the United
States Senate meets with a general
condemnation. For over a month
a dead lock has been maintained
by reason of an adhereance to the
two-thirdsTuleT'At last, however,
the Call men elected their man
with a bare quorum but by a log
mrjority.
—' m ♦-
Many a good mans bead has gone
jOtY on the sub-treasury block, but
it is to be hoped that Senator
George, of Miss., may be able to
hold’his own in the war on ac
count of his opposition to this ob
noxious measure.
The State of Dade News is the
name ©f a newspaper that has
bobbed up in Trenton to sing the
praises of Dade county. —Public
Ledger.
Yes, we bobbed up to sing the
praises of Dade county, while the
Ledger bobbed to sing the
praises of Kensington. We have
the biggest spot upon which to
bobb and it will probably take us
longer to cease bobbing.
Its amusing to hear the silly re
marks that are made about a coun
try newspaper with a ‘“patent out
side.” People do not seem to think
that a business cannot exist profit
ably when expenditures !jue larger
than the receipts. Its cheaper to
run a “patent outside” than it is !
to get out a home print through
out, besides the matter in each
would be about the same. The
predjudice existing against a pat
ent. outside is unfounded and
reason.
t A North Georgia paper has a
particular fondness for dishing out
to its readers ghostly', unreasonable
and sensational matter.
In a late issue we read of a head
less man attacking two young men
and rendering them motionless un
der ghostly influences; and of a
murderer who had been hanged
twice and pronounced dead, after
which he made a good farm hand
and threatened vengeance upon
witnesses who swore against him.
A newspaper should contain newsy
and instructive matter, but when
it descends into sensational lies
its usefulness is gone and it should
be suppressed.
Sons of Veterans.
At-a meeting of the tkms of Vet
erans last Saturday, ii was decided
to have a barbecue and basket din
ner at Trenton dr Highland Park
on Saturday July 4th. A commit
tee of twelve wa appointed to so
licit funds and baskets with gener
al powers ot arrangnents. An
invitation has been extended Gen.
.John B. Gordon to deliver an ad
dress to the old vets, of Dade. A
brass band wili be on hand to fur
nish music for the occasion. Ev
ery old ex-Oonfederate soldier in
the county is cordially invited and,
it is earnestly hoped all will attend.
A liberal contribution from the
business men of Trenton would
bring fifteen hundred people to
Trenton on July the 4th. It will
be the biggest thing in the way of
a picnic ever known in Dade coun
ty. On June the 14th, the Sons ot
Veterans arc to nmef at the [court
house and perfect all arrangments
aU the sons over fifteen years
>l<i turn out-

Mr, Editor:— ln a former issue
your invited honest criticism to
your manner of conducting your
paper ana announced a willingness
to consider all outside advice. I
as a paid, up subscriber would res
pectfully suggest that you take a
milder course and adhere to a
more liberal policy in your treat
ment of that number who do not
take your paper. Coercion shonld
be the last resort toward the ac
complishment of any object. Men
may be led any where but to drive
them is not always an easy matter.
Now, in regard to the coufse you
have adopted with the merchants
who do not see fit to advertise with
you frankly 1 must say I do not
approve of it. Understand I be
long to that number who believe
your paper a commendable home
institution and worthy the sup
port of all who have an interest in
home industry and thrift. Your
paper should go into every home
in Dade county and be paid for.
and where a merchant has a busi
ness to justify the outlay he should
advertise his wares. Asa friend
who takes an interest in everything
and every institution calculated to
develop Dade county, I make the
above luggestions and without the
least taint of unfriendliness.
Amicus.
If the above is lacking in logic
at least it has the merit of frank
ness. We admire your manliness
Amicus and respect you as a man
for you speak like a gentleman.
Nevertheless your advice would be
good and wholesome were your ar
gument not based u]A>n false prem
ises. You admit it to be the duty
of every good citizen to support his
home paper and of every merchant
who has any thing to sell to adver
tise. Agreed there! Now, if neith
er perform this duty where the int
proiyiety of someone telling them
of it in plain English. Who, a
more proper person than we to
whom that duty has not been per
formed? Now as a matter ot pol
icy. Thfere are men who would do
a wrong thing, or neglect the per
formance of some duty if they
know they would not meet with a
strong condemnation somewhere.
Make a man see the right if you
would have him do the proper
thing; and when you make a man
j see the littleness of a mean thing
!it is then easier to make him quit
the wrong and seek the right. Let!
a man who will not support his
county paper know what we think
of him and wlmt his neighbors
think of him and that man wil
forsake his littleness and pay tiis
dollar like a good citizen. If those
who desire to help us would be as
outspoken as we have been this
paper would be on a boom in a very
short time. Doe’s not the eame
reasoning apply to the merchant?
Certainly it does only in a more
striking manner. We consider the
mans influence who will not help
support his county paper as worth
nothing to us even if he did all he
could to aid us. You take
with a bad reputation in his com
munity and all the mean things
you can tell on thatedog will not
arouse a particle of sympathy for
him neither will it injure the one
who shows him up in his true light
People enjoy looking upon a true
portrait ot a •‘.sctiiawiiy” and they
are not going co got mad at the
painter. When the scalawag sees
his own picture and don’t try Jto
brush up a little neither good noi
harm can come of him.
MASS MEETING.

Judge J. A. Bennett for a meeting

Tennessee on June the 10th for the

A Convict Stabbed.
Last. Monday morning two con
victs got into a difficulty at the
lower camp at Cole City and one

knife. Besides numerous cuts all
over bis body the knife penetrated
his left breast just above the heart
severing a blood vessel and enter
ing his lungs. After stopping the
internal flow of blood and stitch
ing up the gashes Dr. Davis ex
pressed a hope of his recovery.
