The farmer tells the editor that
he puts too many advertisements
in his paper, and the editor tells
the farmer that he plants too much
cotton in his fields. And so it
goes.
One could throw a good sized
barn through President McKinley’s
civil service declarations. If Dem
ocratic office holders are not made
to walk the plank we will be mis
taken.
The North Georgia Citizen is
one of the best weeklies that reach
es this office. Typographically it
is a gem, and its excellence as a
newspaper is appreciated by the
people of Whitfield county if a
steady increase in circulation is a
criterion.
The Central Railroad of Georgia
may shorten its line between At

points named.
The immigration bill, recently
passed by congress and vetoed by
President Cleveland, was last week
passed over the president's veto by
the requisite constitutional major
ity. This bill as we understand it,
is to further restrict the immigra
tion to this country of the undesi
rable, worthless and dangerous
class of foreigners, who heretofore
have found it desirable to leave
their own country because of their
misdeeds, or dangerous doctrines.
Last week we published a sketch,
“Flowers," and credited it to the
Cleveland. Tenn., Journal, in which
paper it appeared as original mat
ter over the nom de plume of
“Sarah Button.” It seems that
the article was written by M, M.
Folsom and originally appeared in
the Tribune last December. We
certainly did not intend to rob Mr.
Folsom of the credit of his produc
tion, but always aim in matters of
this sort, to give “honor to whom
honor is due.” It seems that
“Sarah Button" did not regard the ,
matter in the same light, though. ,
The Town And Paper.
In the following editorial the
subject of patronizing a newspaper
is well presented.
Nothing was truer than the say
ing, “A newspaper's advertising
column’s reflect the business char
acterof of a town.” A newspaper
brim full of bright, catchy ads re
veals a live prosperous town. A
poorly patronized newspaper indi
cates a dull, sleepy town. By keep
ing your advertisement constantly
in your home paper you not only
help yourself but your town at the
same time.
The newspaper are the represen
tatives of a community. If the
community is live, wide-awake and
progressive, the newspaper will
necessarily be so, for they will re
ceive sufficient patronage to war
rant it. Sometimes the newspaper
is more progressive'than the town
in which it is published, but this
cannot be so long for obvious rea
, sons. Nor can any newspaper be
worse than its town, for the reason
that it cannot long exist unless it
keeps pace with the community.
View it therefore as we may, a
newspaper is documentary ev
idence of a town’s character, and
’ its advertising columns an infalii
-3 b’.e index of its business. The im
pression it creates is forcible and
lasting. Live merchants make
live newspapers, live newspapers
' make live towns and live towns
make more prosperity. In what
ever way we look at it, advertising
is necessary to a community’s suc
-1 cess as well as to individual suc
cess in business. —Macon News .
Much For the Few, Mites For the
Many.
The appropriation last year for
, the State'University andTechnolo
i gieal School ranged from $l6O to
• S2OO for each student in atten
dance. At the same time an aver
age of $2 50 was given for the ed
ucation of children in the country.
. —Greenville Messenger.
“And you might have said,
brother Messenger,” adds the
' Christian Advocate, “that proba
bly not one more graduate has
been added to the number of ed
ucated men through these appro
priations who would not have been
graduated without such appropria
tions. The higher education will
take care of itself, but the common
schools must be maintained by the
state if they exist at all.
“Futhermore, if the students at
the University were required to
pay tuition, as they ought to be,
there would be no necessity for ap
propriations from the state treas
ury to support the institution.”
The Board of Commissioners of
Floyd county is acting in a very
niggardly manner in refusing to
pay the newspapers of Rome the
small pittance of $5 each, for pub
lishing the presentments of the
Grand Jury, as recommended by
that body. It is about as small and
contemptible a piece of business as
we have seen lately. Economy is
one thing, and is all right in its
place, but there is no excuse for
being niggardly under the guise of
economy. The Floyd eounty
board ought to be ashamed of
itself.

A colored preacher in one of the

op to send a preacher, said : “Send
us a bishop to preach here Sunday ;
if you can’t send a bishop send a

him send a stationary preacher;
if you can’t spare him send a cir

Resolutions of Respect.
Whereas, the Grand Master of the
universe has seen fit to remove one of
the stones of our temple and make use
of it in that temple not made with
hands, eternal in the Heavens, and
death, the dread of all earthly things,
has rapped for admittance to the sanc
tum sanctorum of our Lodge and borne
iaway our beloved chaplain.
Brother William A. Miluer was boru
i in Cass county, Ga., Dec 30, 1844, and
1 entered the Confederate service as
j cavalryman when sixteen years of age.
He was a soldier tried and true.
After the war he attended the Co
lumbia S. C. seminary, and thereafter
became pastor of the Presbyterian
churches of Chattooga county, and
served the congregation at Summerville
twenty-three years, until he was sum
moned hence by the Grand Master
i February 5, 1897.
, He was raised to the sublime degree
of Master Mason December 5. 1874.
[He was indeed and in truth a Mason,
' serving his Lodge faithfully as Chap
lain, living upright, just and true,
always keeping his passions in due
bounds; squaring his actions by the
square of virtue, and walking upright
as the plumb before God and man.
He was married to Miss Ella W.
Cochran, and had a son and daughter,
all of whom survive him.
To the bereaved ones we extend our
heart felt sympathy, and while no
words can bring comfort to their sorely
tried hearts, yet even in their sorrow
there is comfort in the knowledge that
he left behind him a name unsullied,
and which is to them a precious legacy.
His life was so pure and his Christian
faith so undoubted that we feel sure
that he is called to that Grand Lodge
above, prepared for them who love and
faithfully serve the Grand Architect of
the universe. We have the hope of
meeting him one day in a better and
happier union than any 11C2 can bind
on earth. He awaits, and re-united,
there will be no more parting.
We pray the Grand Master above to
Qmper the afllictions of the bereaved,
and give them strength to endure.
May He, in his own good time, give
them the peace that will enable them
to wait with patience until he shall
summon them to meet their loved one
in the Grand Lodge above.
Resolved, that in the transmission of
Brother William A. Milner, Summer
ville Lodge No. 109, F. and A. M.,
has lost its beloved chaplain, the ex
perience, help and companionship of a
true, honest and upright Mqson, whose
virtues endeared him not only to the
Brotherhood, but also to all of his fel
low ettizens; and while we bow to the
will of the Most High, we do not the
less mourn for our brother who has been
called from labor to refreshment.
Resolved, that these resolutions be
entered upon the minutes of the
Lodge, and a copy be sent t o the fam
ily of the deceased; and also a copy be
sent to the Summerville News and
the Cartersville papers with the re
quest to publish.
