Dade County Gazette. RISING FAWN, GEORGIA. TDIEM¥ J JAM. O, 1879 HOW lEOT WENT iP SAET RIVER. It all happened on new year’s day. As the light streamed down long and level through the gap in the eastern hill tops, and changed the panes of the cot tage lattice into so many glittering dia monds, the villagers might bo seen col lecting in small groups hero and there. ’Tis election day and the goose hangs high, and the gleaming stars of the god dess hope streams along the sky of all those devoted individuals who love the people so ardently, and the leading word ‘‘success,” trembles on all lips, Then they begin to vote, and all day long they swapped, traded, pulled and hauled, and there was a horrid buzz, jolt, jostle, splatter, splash, and an occasional whis per, “how am I running '?” The day was gone over to its majority where ages upon ages sleep, and like a blood stained conqueror grown weary of renown, the day yielded up his scepter and crown to the approaching night. Weary, wan dering thought tried to rest, blit alas ! mighty forms will sink beneath the ru ins of the night, and some will whisper, •‘time, time, thou art the thief that has bereft me of my hope.” Now the dark mantle of the first night of January siumbeis in solitude above us, wnile the fleecy, tlouds hang about the mountain’s g brow as on the outposts of cre ation. They begin to count at Trenton, the county seat, whilo the I are beingiiedto the willoWs prepa -a Lory to convey the (Ideated office up salt river. It seems now * fjeari boats in. the‘bosom' sell with deep -r emotion, and a vague unrest people, and ev ery stroke of the penman’s quill the funeral toll of the solemn Ml. At midnight they were commanded by the stoni man of the law to launch their boats for the land of ntmvnt” where no demagogues are permitted to live, and where the inhabit mis av so tbit they ftlno officers. They were a sad, woe-be-gone, sorrow-stricken crowd, hut the command is imperative and they must go and live on “hard tack” during the voyage. Now they are pulling out with those who have expeii ence on the river to steer. We climb to the balconies and cry the long roll, fare well, friends, farewell, The curtain falls. Take Your ESos&e Fapsr. How of'en has this matter been urged upon the people ot our county, and yet how often do some of the best farmers and business men positively refuse to sub scribe when solicited, urging as an ex cuse that they r.re not able, that times are too bard, Ac. ITow this is certainly a very poor argument upon their part. If a man owning probably two or three hundred acres of land, and stock, and implements necessary to run bis farm, is not able to take his county paper,lie had better sell out, ‘dock, stock and barrel, and go te hunting and fishing for a liv ing. What a groat pleasure to have lit erature of an elevating tendency continu ally within the family circle. A man had better make a great sacrifice or econ omize in some other direction, than to let his family suffer for metal food. A good newspaper in the family is of incal culable value. The children, instead of growing up wholly ignorant of the great questions and enterprises of the day, are enabled to converse intelligently upon all sublets. There are many men —farmers and" others— pf this county, who are per fect easy so far as this world’s goods &ic concerned, who have never patron ized the Gazette to the extent of one copper, and yet they are Manually re ceiving the benefits of a focal papG i-* their midst in many ways that they J*re . uwt iwure of. We are laboring for the moral, intellectual, financial and relig ious improvement of the country. VA are doing what we can towards attract ing men ol enterprise and capital to ■chanty, who will develop the count* y *( i.ud vet ilc men who aie tl ami will share more than all others in the good to he derived in the building up and improvement of the country, are the ones that stand hack and persistently re fuse to lend a helping hand in the sup port of the paper. THE YOUNG PROFILE. It doos seem reasonable that we could get up something of interest by which the young people of our village could spend their moments profitably. Can’t we get up a reading club and recite some quaint old story or a piece of poetry se lected from the best authors. W e don’t think it would be a compromise of the dignity and intelligence of the lawyers and doctors of our town to come and pa - ticipate m such a literary enterprise. Though you gentlemen may have search ed the fields of science, scrutinized the imponderables, measured the fluids, weighed the solids,dealt in dry abstracts, handled curious technicalities, yet there is more to learn. Despise not the day of small things-. The Tpag Tree and ISs Sym bols. We ha frequently heard of the Upas tree, a native af the forest of Java and he neighboring isle, of the genius I nti arts. The secretions of this tree are pois onous. Itfhas also been fabulously re ported that the atmosphere surround ing it is deleterious, and that all the vege tation within a radius of several yards dies from the effect of the poison arising from this tree. It is said farther that animal life is in great danger when brought in contact with its destroying influence. Whether this be false or true there are profitable lessons to he gleaned from it. When we see a dissipated and wicked man wielding Ins damaging influ ence in society we are made to exclaim, in the language of the Episcopal Hitual, good Lord deliver us from tills walking upas of society. Then if one *pf these demoralizing upas trees of society wields such a dai§agiifg influence over a com munity, just think of five or six of them in onelittle town, to say nothing of their agents, whom they have employed to stir up a miserable pandemonium on earth. Churches, Sabbath schools and society, don the who 1 # armor of defense and let us battle for the right. K -,WS. Crlcaccd Ocr Ei* cSaasagcs.
