THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS. fl 00 Per Year In Advance. J. W, CAIN, Editor and Proprietor. Summerville, Ga.MakchlO, 1897- Entered at Summerville P. O. as se< end class matter. I am a candidate for County Surveyor. Elec tion March 19th. J. A. BRANNER. Goodbye Grover! Bring along your prosperity! The King is dead —long live the King! Atlanta continues to be the storm center of Georgia. That little trouble in Crete may involve the whole world in war. ♦— —♦ Gue hal f the world doesn’t know how badly the other half is in debt. A man may keep up appearances before his neighbors, but not be fore his own conscience. A very pertinent question in Washington just now is: ‘‘What are wo here for?” President McKinley has issued a proclamation, convening congress in extra session next Monday. ♦ • Otis Smilh, the Atlanta society leader, has been indicted for for gery and embezzlement. Japan, hitherto a silver country, has adopted the gold standard as a basis for its circulating medium. Beresford, the noted crook, has secured the franchise to furnish electric lights, gas and water to the town of Fitzgerald for a term of twenty years. < ■< -o- 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 lanta and Savannah by seventy miles. It is reported that a line of road is besng built between Ma con and Savannah by the Central, and that this will be used in reduc ing the distance between the 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. —♦—B » Confederate Veterans.

The News is ten years old to day, this issue being No. 1, of the eleventh volume. The News has aot grown rich or gre t during its brief ten years of life, nor has it been the best paper in the country, but its publishers have made the best paper possible considering the pat ronage given it- Wanted a Mau of God. A colored preacher in one of the lower counties, writing to the bish- ! op to send a preacher, said : “Send us a bishop to preach here Sunday ; if you can’t send a bishop send a sliding elder; if you can’t send him send a stationary preacher; if you can’t spare him send a cir cus rider; if you can’t send him, send a locus preacher; if you can’t do no better, why, send us an ex hauster.” Local Items.

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.

This is simply because it possesses greater merit and produces greater cures than any other. It is not what we say, but what Hood’s Sarsaparilla does, that tells the story. All advertisements of Hood’s Sarsaparilla, like Hood’s Sarsaparilla it self, are honest.
