Do you owe the News on sub
scription? If so this is to remind
you that we need it. You must not
make the mistake of thinking that
because the account is small that
it will not help us and that we do
not want it. There are perhaps 800
or more, names on our books that
are due from SI.OO to $3.00 each
and you will see at a glance that
while it is a small amount to each
subscriber, it is a large one to us.
It takes money to pay our bills and
we ask every man that is due us to
come forward and settle promptly.

It is reported that an unknown

No Southern newspaper is com
pletc without r.u oratorical attach
ment.—Brunswick Times.
Os course not; and the oratorical
attachment must be its own gas
generator, too.
Atlanta has furnished Georgia
with governors and senators so long
that she is now entitled to a rest.
If North Georgia can’t have the
next governor, by ail means let
South or Middle Georgia name him.
J. T. Henderson, the present
commissioner of agriculture, is be
ing opposed for that place by Mr.
Nesbit, of < 'ohb county. Mr. Hen
derson has filled the oflice for ten
years.
The Tribune of Rome, edited by-
John Temple Graves, says that
J ohn Temple Graves is immensely
popular in New York. This con
clusively shows what may be accom
plished by any one who will take
the trouble to charge himself fully
with gas and go visiting in a strange
land.
- —•
Mr. J. 'J L'emple Graves, editor of
the Tribune of Rome, made a speech
before the Southern Society in New
York on the 22nd inst. The Trib
une of Rome pronounces it the great
lever from which the editor of
the Tribune of Rome sprang from
obscurity right into the national
eye, as it were. Again, it may be
remarked, there is nothing like a
soda water fizz in connection with
a daily paper.
When one of those soda water,
gin fizz orators turns himself loose
in New York with the escaping gas
connected to a telegraph wire com
municating with a great daily paper
of which he is editor back in Geor
gia the effect is enchanting. This
organ, part of which being oper
ated in a distant city sets the other
part going in Georgia, emits most
inspiring music and it is worth ful
ly five cents to hear it at any time.
Our correspondent from Hay- ■
wood in his communication last
week suggested Dr. .1. T. Roan as :i
suitable person to represent the i
42d district in the next legislature. ;
In the matter of tilling county oili
ces, in which no party principles!
are involved, the News will simply
be the medium for the people to !
it discuss the ujerits of the various
candid ales.
Since our last the wheels of
(father “Time,” |
I fre’hce, too. Then, bei q
lover of variety, he publishe
’ oration in his daily paper. Some
j times be gets a neighbor to spec-
■ ially request this, but generally he
’ does so at his own earnest request.
The Alliance-Herald, cf Rome,
■
after giving the News ■■ lit for
first mentioning Mr. Clements for
governor, says: “The Herald wishes
1 to say right here that while Mr.
, Clements would make a good gov
ernor for Georgia or a president
for this whole country, this con
gressional district will be slow to
, give him up as their representa
tive. He is now in position to be
• ...
of more service to this section than
' even before.” The reason the News
advocates Mr. Clements for gover
nor is that he is the only man in
North Georgia who can reasonably
i hope to attain that place this year.
Then he would make a good gover
nor and that is, after # all, the prin
cipal consideration.
1 The Tribune of Rome of last
. Sunday published a notice signed
■ by a lady of Rome requesting that
i we stop the News and send her
bill. We sent her bill, but will not
, stop the News except her part of
it. Now if the Tribune will try,
perhaps it can find another one who
wants the News stopped —for in
stance, J. B. S. Holmes —and if so,
it is welcome to publish the fact.
Seriously, such petty spite as the
above recorded incident evidences
is exceedingly amusing. The News,
like other papers wo suppose,
loses subscribers every week or two;
but we did not think the loss of one
was of sufficient importance to be
published in the columns of a con
temporary. We have placed the
names of over two hundred new
subscribers on our mailing listdnr
ing the past month, but would not
have thought it worth mentioning
except in this connection.
Tuesday we received a note stat
ing that “the people of Walker
county are getting up a petition for
Dr. Holmes.” We did not under
stand just what this meant, but
later learned that the people, not
knowing of Dr. Holmes’ return from
Florida, were circulating a petition
to have him brought back. On
Tuesday at La Fayette over six hun
dred men had signed the petition.
Dr. Holmes ought to feel tlattered
when six hundred men sign, in one
day, a petition to have him brought
back. It shows he is needed in this
section a little longer.
Dr. Holmes and famii turned
to Romo last Saturday. lis case
should now bo handled by law mid
it is best to await the action of the
grand jury of Floyd county before
anything more should be done. A
great deal of important evidence
has been learned since the “Review”
of the case was published in the
News, and it is all confirmatory of
the deductions drawn therein. A
trial by law- will bring these points
out; or in the event that there is
no trial, a contingency almost im
possible, they will, later, be fully
made known in the columns of the
News. There is always a possibility,
which amounts. to a probability
when the defendant has money,
j that justice will be defeated. There
have as yet, however, been no legal
action of law applied
to this ease—absolutely none—and
therefore it cannot be said that the
law has failed to do what is ex
pected of it. Lets wait and see if
it does fail. If so, it will be found
out, and the people have in the
News a paper that will lay' bare
the facts, regardless of who is ex
posed. In the meantime, it would
be well for the people of Floyd not
| to place too much confidence in cer
! tain of their officers and editors. If
the News again has occasion to
leal with this case, it will show up
i the acts of some of these gentry in
j away that may create some sur
prises even among those who know
them best.
The evenings at the poles are six
months long. What a great place
that would be for sessions of the
Georgia Legislature!

'* * A bill before the Ken
cky Legislature provides a fine,
of S2O on every circus that doesn’t
show just what the posters contain
or the advertisements state. This
bill, if it becomes a law, will reduce
either the claims or the surplus of
i the circus people, and maybe both.
** * There is a queer religious 1
sect in North Alabama, numbering
probably five thousand, known as
“Shermanites,” from the name of
its founder. The adherents of this
organization never shave or cut
their hair. They have no houses
of worship, any of them preaching
wherever he pleases to whoever will
listen, and all that is necessary to
become one of them is to be bap
tised by a member who himself has
been bi ptised. When a member
becomes possessed of more of the
world’s goods then is necessary for
a comfortable support he is re
quired to turn the surplus over to
the poor. They try in their daily
life to literally follow the example
set by Christ —never shaving, never
providing for the future, preaching
out-doors, collecting no money ex
cept for the destitute and paying
little heed to personal attire.
*** A remarkable instance of
devotion to duty comes from South
Carolina. Recently John Hood,
the aged father of Sherilf Hood,
of Chester county, was shot from
ambush and instantly killed. There
was strong cirmcumstantial evi
dence against a negro named Green
Brown and he was arrested. A mob
bent upon lynching the negro soon
collected, but Sheriff Hood sue
ceeded in getting the man out of
the way of the mob, and then tele
graphed the governor asking that
the man be taken to Columbia for
safe keeping. The governor grunted
the request and Sherilf Hood has
lodged his prisoner, the man who
shot his father from ambush, in the
jail at Columbia.
*** Here is another instance
of devotion to official duty, and this
comes from South Carolina too. I
Coroner S. T. Burch, of Florence
recently shot and killed a negro
whom he caught in the act of steal
ing potatoes from his yard. After
the murder Burch gave himself up
to the sheriff. He was released on
a writ of habeas corpus and gave a
$2,000 bond. Burch then pro
ceeded to hold an inquest over the
body of the man he had murdered
. and the jury returned a verdict in
accordance with the above facts.
*•* * T. W. Nance, of Texas,
advertised that he would be at Mur
freesboro, Tenn., one day last week,
to buy all the hens he could get at
twenty-five cents a piece. He came
along in a poultry car capable of
holding 5,000, and he had to tele- j
graph for another, as there were'
10,000 pullets wailing for him. The
“cluck, cluck" of 10,000 congregated
throats is said to have astonished i
the oldest inhabitant..
** * Probably the oldest law
suit in the world recently came to j
an end. In 1119 Ladislous Dem
endy, of Buda-Pesth, Hungary, died,'
leaving, besides other property, a
landed estate of 100,000 acres to his •
heirs. The swav of the Turks, how
ever, who seized the land, prevented j
the family from gaining the vast
inheritance at the time. When/he
Turks left the claim of the heirs;
to the estate was recognized, but
as they had greatly increased, their ‘
claims were by no means easy toad
judicate. The suit brought by some
of the claimants began Sept. 15,
1758 and has just ended. The estate ;
was controlled during the 131 years
by a family council, but the expen-
I ses were great, and at the end of lhe
j law suit only 22,000 florins remained i
to be divided among the heirs, the
number of whom, in the meantime,
had increased to 2,000. The share
of each amounted to II florins after
waiting 470 years

The Cotton Crop.
We are in receipt of a circular
j from Latham, Alexander <fc Co.,
cotton commission merchants of
New York, which shows the relative
product and price of cotton for 1889
|as compared with former years.
Not only is the cotton crop of 1889
larger than that of any previous
• year amounting to 7,300,00 balesbut
the price has been uniformly higher,
caused by a demand which has in
creased faster than the supply. With
the large increase of new mills, new
■ labor saving machinery and a great
er demand from a greater popula
tion having a greater capacity
to buy cotton goods, consumption
has overtaken production, has ex
ceeded it and the price in the face
of an increased crop Las advanced.
Cotton is a monopoly that cannot
be easily overthrown except by over
production in the climate and soil
where it is grown. Its growth is
restricted to a small section of de
veloped country. It can only be
produced by hand labor, ami such
labor in the cotton fields is not
yearly greatly augmented as is the
case in the cultivation of other pro
ducts. It is the only exception
among all species of agriculture to a
general depression caused by low
prices.
The cotton planters can therefore
congratulate themselves that they
begin the New Year so hopefully,
for they alone can produce now a
crop worth $300,000,000 that is
readily marketable all over the
world.

If you have made up your mind to buy
i Hood's Sarsaparilla do not be induced to take
any other. Hood's Sarsaparilla Is a peculiar
medicine, possessing, by virtue of its peculiar
combination, proportion, and preparation,
curative power superior to any other article.
A Boston lady who knew what sho wanted,
and whose example is worthy imitation, tells
j her experience below:
To Cet
•‘ln one store where I went to buy Hood’s
Sarsaparilla the clerk tried to induce mo buy
theirown instead of Hood's; he told mo their's
would last longer; that I might take It on ten
. days’ trial; that if I did not like it 1 need not
pay anything, etc. But he could not prevail
lonme to change. I told him I knew what i
| flood's Sarsaparilla was. I had taken it, was
satisfied with it, and did not want any other.

■KBaaxomaaa
When I began taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla
I was feeling real miserable, suffering
a great deal with dyspepsia, and so weak
that at times I could hardly stand. I looked,
and had for some time, like a person in con
sumption. Hood's Sarsaparilla did me so
much good that I wonder at myself sometimes,
' and my friends frequently speak of It.” Mbs. ;
