Summerville, Ga., De< 9, 1896-
Entered at Summerville P. O. as sec
osd clasa matter.
The Georgia legislature seems to
be in a very liberal mood with the
atate’s money Put on the brakes,
gentlemen!
Why couldn’t a part of the Geor
gia convicts be put to work on the
coast defenses at Savannah, and
other points?
It is said that about half of
those “hold ups” and robberies re
ported as having occurred in Rome
and vicinity recently, are fakes,
pure and simple.
f
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun
asks: “Who can wonder that Kan
sas has more deserted wives than
any state in the union if Sister
Mary Yellen Lease is a sample of
those whom the poor men are de
serting?”
A story was told on an old gen
tleman who was once sent from
/ the State of Dade to the Georgia
legislature, when Milledgeville was
the capital of Georgia. The old
I gentleman arrived there one night
and was up the next morning ear
ly, and mistaking the market place
L for the capitol building, went in
B and hung his hat on a meat hook,
■ taking a seat on one of the meat
& blocks. When the butcher came
V in the old gentleman asked him
■ how long it would be before the
r members of the legislature came
in. The butcher informed him
that was not their place of meet-
I ing, and gave him directions so he
I could find the place where they
L would meet, informing hiiji that
he wished to use the block he oc-
B cupied to cut his meat on. The
H old man gave up his seat, took his
HK hat oil’ the peg, and proceeded to
B find the capitol.

Cuban Affairs.
Washington, D>>c. 2. —ITesidniit
'leveland has c<mclud-‘d Ins m s
; Bsage to be sent to congress this
week. Upon what ho will say
i Bon the Cuban question the most
is manifested by th • pub-
KHlic at large, and particularly I y
VBthe financial world. Tim r High
B copy of that was completed yester
day. It was submitted to the cab
inet meeting and shown to one of
the president’s closest friends, who
has in the past been a figure in the
I government bond transactions.
■ On the Cuban question thepres-
B ident will say, in brief that there
B is no material reason why the U-
States should interfere in
Cuban rebellion just now. He
IjjMßvs it would be a mistake and
Bubd be acting in bad faith v. it
MMBin to rofoeni.e. the i/i-b-pi-n-

But he adds that owing to A
merican rights it involves and A
merican interests concerned, it is
the duty of the Spanish govern
ment to suppress the rebellion in
a limited time. Dat the conclu
sion of a reasonable time, he says
Spain has not put an end to the
revolution, then it will be his duty
as president to recommend to con
gress that this government shall
interfere.
Privately, to his cabinet ofiicers,
Mr. Cleveland has said that he will
give Spain until the Ist of Febru-
I ary to put an end to the insurrec-
I tion in Cuba. If at that time the
I war is not at an end, he will send
a message to congress advocating
■ the recognit ion of the independence
B of the Cuban republic. He added
F that it might result in a declara-
L tion of war on the part of Spain
F against the United States.

That
Tired Feeling
Makes you seem “all broken up,” with
out life, ambition, energy or appetite.
It is often the forerunner of serious ill- i
ness, or the accompaniment of nervous
troubles. It is a positive proof of thin,
weak, impure blood; for, if the blood is
rich, red, vitalized and vigorous, it im
parts life and energy to every nerve,
I organ and tissue of the body. The
necessity of taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla
for that tired feeling i.~ therefore apparent
to every one, and the good it will do you ;
.is equally beyond question. Remember
Hood’s
Sarsaparilla
Isthe best—in fact the One True Blood Purifier.

Hollis a Hinton.
The board of trustees of the Sum
merville school met last Saturday and
employed a Mr. Bass to take charge of
the school for another year in place of
Prof. King. This action on their part
was a considerable surprise to some of
the patrons of the school who were not
expecting any change.and has created
some dissatisfaction. It was rumored
yesterday that some of Prof. King s
friends would make an effort to get the
Board to reconsider its action, but
whether this will be done or not is not
uaw known.
