The new year was crying when it
was born last Sunday morning. Well,
most babies do that way.
No matter whether it rains, blows,

A Grand Sight.- About daylight
these mornings, when the heavens
are unobscured by clouds, may lie
seen a sight tlie gods might envy. It
is Venus and Jupiter, the grand star
actors in the heavenly drama, hand

the blue boulevards of the star-lit

Capt. M. Dwinell of Rome Ga., died
in that city Dec. 28th. He was about
silty-three years of age. He came to
Rome in 1854, and shortly after took
charge of the Rome Courier, which hw
continued to own until 1885. Captain
Dwinell served through the war in the
southern army. He was a gallant sol
dier, and one of the few Georgia edi
tors who ever made a fortune at tlie
printing bu-iness. His estate is esti
mated at $100,000. He was never mar
ried. His relatives in Vermont will
inherit his property.
The following paragraph from the
Dawson Journal on this line contains
as much truth as is to lie found in the
same number of lines jiny where. The
Journal snys:
“For any town to grow and prosper
there must be unity of purpose, con
cert of action and unselfish willing
ness on the part of all to do some
thing to add to the general comfort,
convenience and thrift. To live in a
community and lie constant benefi
ciaries of everything I hat adds to its
prosperity, ami like a sponge, con
stantly taking in, and giving out noth
ing, is a purposeless and valueless cit
izenship.'
THE OCONEE HOUSE
Yesterday, the change In the man
angeuient of this popu.ur hostelrie
took place, M r. S. B. Marshall moving
out, and one of the proprietors, Mr.
O. H. Fox, taking charge. Of course
the confusion, consequent on so ab
rupt a change, was great, but not-
withstanning this, and all the multi
plied troubles that are incident to it,
Mr. Fox was prepared by dinner time
to entertain ail who made their home
with him. This is business to be sure,
and we have no hesitation in saying
that the new management will give
the public, and the traveler, a place
of rest as near like home as they can
find it abroad. The proprietors have
the means to till every requirement,
and both are gentlemen who know
what good living is, and what the
necessities of rile traveling public are;
and they will meet it lie assured.
i hie of us laid tlie pleasure of dining
with Mr. Fox yesterday. -V stranger,
who was not aware of the circum
stances, would have hail no cause to
believe that there had been any
change at all.
Politeness. The New Year
If 11.ere is one word, more than an
other, that concerns the temporal wel
fare of young and old, especially the
young, i: is the word that heads thi-
brief article we pen on New Year's
day. To tie polite is the brightest
accomplishment that adorns human
i haracter. You mav have, voting
woman, the intellect of England's
maiden (Jueen, Elizabeth, the beauty
of her ill-fated rival. Mary, Queen of
Scotts, the figure of Venus, of unexcell
ed statuary beauty, and the magnifi
cent presence of Marie Antoinette,but
wanting politeness these charms are
vain and evanescent as the stall
dreams are made of. Politeness is the
handmaid of Virtue, and the sister
of Religion. No character is com
plete without it. To the young man
it is a mine of inexhaustible wealth.
It is more precious than rubies, mure
to be desired than official honor, and
more lasting than worldly fame. Cul
tivate it, young and old. Let it shine
in the rough and tumble of business
life, and never let its radiance pale in
the presence of home and its loved
circle.
