SUMMERVILLE NEWS 11 00 Per Year Im Advance. J. W, CAIN, Editor and Proprietor. EDNA CAIN, Associate Editor. Summerville, Ga., Dec 23, 1896- Entered at Summerville P. O. as sec 0 3 fl class matter. Coxey has withirawn from the Populist party in deep disgust. Gus Fumbles has been respited again, this time until .January £9, 1897. Lost, strayed cr stolen, a very large wave of prosperity. Finder will please notify Mark Hanna. Columbus, Ohio. A profusion of flowers was strewn at Woyler’s feet, but how much mote fitting it would have been if they were growing over him. —Au- 'gustn Herald. — There are lots of people who mix I their religion with business but forget to stir it up well. The bus iness invariably rises to the top as a result. Says an exchange: Young man, don’t leave the farm. There are too many of us in town now. Stay where you have plenty of elbow room and blue-stem collards. •» —♦ (Capt. John Milledge, state libra rian, makes a formal announce ment of his candidacy for reap pointment to his present position. Capt. Milledge has filled the office of state librarian for eight years. Evangelist Moody criticises the Sunday papers in New A ork se verely and says that the editors themselves would not ca’ry them home to be read by their wives and daughters. And Evangelist Moody is not far wrong. —•— The pay of the chaplain of the house of representatives has been doubled, and the Savannah News is prompted to inquire if it re quires twice as much praying for this legislature as it did for prece ding ones. Col. W. T. Revill, the veteran editor of the Meriweather Vindi cator, was last week appointed clerk of the executive department. Col. Revill was Gov. Atkinson’s first teacher, and sincf his entry into politics has always been his strong supporter. One of the brilliant ideas that has taken possession of State School Commissioner Glenn and some of the legislators is to require the tax payers to pay as much more into the school fund as their counties take out. Taxes are al ready oppressive and we do not be lieve that the people of this coun ty would shout for joy if SIO,OOO were added to their burden. —Daw- son News. One of the most urgent measures now pending in congress is the bill of Mr. Lodge providing for the ex clusion of illiterate immigrants from our ports. For several years streams of foreign pauperism with its attendant evils has been pour ing into this country, and the need of some restrictive measure has made itselt apparent not only in the marked increase of idlers in the large towns and cities but in the appalling number of crimes.— Dawson News. «— Did you know that every reader of this paper, as of all other week ly newspapers, expects the editors to give all the local news, but take care to never inform the editors of anything that comes under their observation that might be of gen eral or local interest, when they know well enough that the chances are ten to one against the editors ever hearing of these matters un less they or some one else inform them? Don't the other fellow to it along Cures “ Cures talk ”in favor ■■■ | | of Hood’s Sarsaparilla, ■ JJS I as for no other medi- ■ cine. Its great cures recorded in truthful, convincing language of grateful men and women, constitute its most effective ad vertising. Many of these cures are mar velous. They have won the confidence of the people; have given Hood’s Sarsapa rilla the largest sales in the world, and have made necessary for its manufacture the greatest laboratory on earth. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is known by th? cures it has made cures of scrofula, salt rheum and eczema, cures of rheumatism, neuralgia and weak nerves, cures of dyspepsia, liver troubles, catarrh cures which prove Hood's Sarsaparilla Is the best—in fact the One Trie Blood Purifier. «-».«« cure liver ills; easy to rIOOG S HlllS take, easy to operate. 25c. Where Will It End? State School Commissioner Glenn has fashioned an ideal school system in his mind, and possesses the energy to make a very strong impression upon the legislative body. Looking forward to a civili zation that should be an ambition in every state, we cannot have too much learning; but there is a ques tion that must confront us some of these days, with a serious bear ing ; and that is the extent to which taxes may be imposed upon the individual, without his consent, for the benefit of public institu tions whose benevolence, after all, is a private bestowal. There is a growing demand in this state for immense charities. They are not bounded by any reas onable supposition of necessity. They are the outcome of sentiment that is fanned into enthusiasm, and then turned loose to the purposes of demagogy. There may, after all, be an education, that is better learned than in the process of char ity schooling.—Brunswick Adver tiser. The Judges Election. The first election ever held in this county for judges of the su preme court came off last Wed nesday and came near going by de fault. Judge Lumpkin received 135 votes; Little 130; Cobb 134, and Fish 124. Judge Branham received 11 com plimentary votes. Tom Watson, Hines, Harris and Seal) Wright got 10 votes each at Seminole. C. C. Story and I. R. Gilbert, of Menlo, got one vote each. The biggest vote at any one pre cinct was 41 at Summerville. Ly erly came next with 20, and Trion next with 25. No returns were re ceived from Coldwater and Sub ligna. It seems to be a certainty that the Dingley bill cannot pass dur ing the present session of congress. Os all unpleasant things, one of the most annoying is to feel that some body is trying to force a kindness on you with the hope of getting it back with interest. —Milwaukee Journal. La Grippe If you have had the Grippe, you know its aches and pains, ths fever, the chills, the cough, the depression—you know them all. The Grippe exhausts the nervous system quickly, lowers the vitality. Two things should be done at once: —the body must be strength ened, and force must be given to the nervous system. Cod liver Oil will do the first; Hy pophosphites the second. These are permanently ind eleasantly combined in Scott’s Emulsion. It lifts the despondency and heals the inflamed membranes of the throat and lungs. But you need not have LA GRIPPE. You can put your system in a condition unfavorable to it. You can have rich, red blood; resistive strength ; steady brain and nerves. Scott’s Emulsion prevents as well as cures. And whether you send or go for Scott’s Emulsion, be sure you get the genuin*- SC.OTT & BOWNE ..-w CHRISTMAS!! More Good Things Than You Ever Dreamed Os!
