SUMMERVILLE NEWS ■ I fl 00 Per Year In Advance. . “* ' I J. W, CAIN, Editor and Proprietor. EDNA CAIN, Associate Editor. 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. mSImkH 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- 1 ' Cui .a. >r <v.e: t-'no u - B Aitc. - ;• :r. ..■B r -ii y " 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. SALE OF THE 0. R. & C. The Central Trust Company of New York Foreclose. The Chattanooga.

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. • I FA: 11.. cure liver ills, easy to take, 1100(1 S i lllS easy to operate. 25cents. LYERLY, GA. A. J.
