o
THE ENTERPRISING TOWN
WITHOUT A SCHOOL.
o
Efforts Being Made to Build a Fine
School at a Cost of $2,000 —,
Will it be Done?
Never in the history of Rising
has there been a time when
men—men of principle, of firm-:
ness, of strong, well-vertebrated
character —more wide-awake, more
needed than at the present time.
There are some zealous men who
are aroused to the town’s one great
necessity, and are making stren
ous efforts to have the same.
There is a world of work to he
done; and a work, if accomplish
ed, that will stand a. glorious mon
ument to the enterprise, energy
and public-spiritedness of the
prime movers; redound to the
credit of the people, and go on j
and on a blessing to the county;
and the town of Rising Fawn.
And that is, this fall, the erection
of a handsome school-building at
a cost of S2OOO, to be placed in the
bands of a competent and well
paid faculty. We are only able to
give the names of a few of the
partie interested, but they arc suti
cient to guarantee that there is to
be an awakening up of the educa
tional interest in Rising .Fawn
that will spread throughout the
county. The Walker Iron and j
Coal Co. have offered to donate
SSOO per year to this institution,*
and Dr. Fricks, a large and valu
able tract of land, which is a beau
tiful site for the location of the
building, while many of the citi
zens of the town have offered to
make generous conti ibutions,prom
inent among these might be men
tioned John G. Hale, Dr. llussev,
Squire J. M. Cantrell, W. P. Gil
bert, Wesloy Blevins, C. C. Hale,
Gao. Cureton. This is a sufi
cicnt guarantee that the people of ]
Rising Fawn are ready and willing |
to do all in their power to achieve i
success in an undertaking that |
is of vital interest not only to the ;
people of Rising Fawn, but to the
people of the surrounding country,
and all should co-operate harmoni
ously together, throwing personal
interest aside and accomplish that
upon which depends the future
wel fare of of hundreds of children.
Time is not tied to a post
like a horse to a manger; it passes
like the wind, and if we grind our
com we must set our sails. What
ever is done must he done by down
right, honest skillful work. Shall
we help in this noble cause or not?
Reader, are you doing anything to
help in this work that affects ye*;:'
interests and the welfare of your
children and your county? How
shall we spent!our money? Shall
we hoard it up little by little,
knowing that superadded to the
influence of pernicious and social
customs, that are surely draging
the young downward, is an ab
solute indifferent ism and tot at des
titution of interest in education in
the minds of the children, being
promulgated and grounded in by
the petty and punnv quarrels that
arise out of trifles and little dif
ferences of opinion? Those are
questions that should be revolved
in the mind by all who feel inter
ested.
• Under the murky th routs of yours
ahead of us, it is the duty of every
father, mother, the pastor, the pul
pit, the press, politicians—the.
giant powers of ail a.g» —to join
arms, and go forward in on- solid
phalanx, for the execution of this
one great need.
In conversation with I)r. Fricks
and John G. Hale we gleaned
many interesting facts. Dr. Fricks
and ilr. Hale stated that there
Were not less than 150 children
who were being denied .he blessed
f ruits of a thorough business edu
cation. Some, who are in better
circumstances than others, are
compelled to send their children
pff to school, v hen by a harmoni
ous co-operation of the people &
fine and commodious building can
be erected, and the children educa
ted at home, and the money kept
in the county.
From what we learned, wf* im
agine, few can realize the extreme
dullness of the lives of the chil
dren of the poo**. Cut off from the
advantages of an education which
the-posossion of money gives; neg
lected by the people, neglected by
the state government—left to grow 7
up untutored, and unable to com
prehend the ever-living interest,
of watidling public affairs. This
is especially true wifi* regard to
those who cannot read. Prevented
by ignorance from following even
in outline the action of nations,
they are thrown back on the affair*
of their neighbors, and center all
their interest.-in the sayings and
doings of quarrelsome Mrs. Jones
or much abused Mrs. (Smith.
This is a true picture of the
minds of some of the children of
the poorer classes, whose time is
mostly passed in hard and monot
onous work, or occupied in petty
cares, trivial and common tasks,
when such time should be spent in
acquiring the rudiments of a solid
business education, which is as
necessary on the farm as in the
counting h use.
The people of R: *ir., Fawn ha\
taken up th.. on of e v. o,
we predict that t.h co :yr .11
will sec-a beatffii’ui and t ■. odi
ous building top the hill se
lected for it.
Let the whole county take up
the cry of education. Echo and re
echo it throughout the valley until
every town and hamlet has a
school running nine months in the
year. Then, and not until then,
can we. call ourselves a prosper
ous and happy people.
NOTES.
A prominent young merchant
will soon.
We are not in the lest jealous
of our sister city.
Last Tuesday was pay-day, and
everybody was happy.
Squire Cantrell says he under
stands how to make hay, and we
left him disputing the point with
Dr. Fricks.
Fricks Bros, are making exca
vations for thP erection of a two
story brick with a basement, 28x
100 feet, fronting the railroad on
the same lot where their present
building stands.

Dr. Russey is about the busiest
man we ever knew. We made a
vain effort to catch him last Sat
urday, but he was in and out every
few minutes —a regular will-o-the
wisp, and we almost came to the
conclusion such a person did not
exist.

BYRD’S CHAPEL PICNIC.
! To do justice to all the picnic

| special reporter for that particular
I purpose, yet with reference to the
j one last Saturday at the chapel, we

1 ban admitted fact that Byrd’s
Chanel, and Trenton never make a
: failure in any attempt of this
! kind. -
i In the words of an enthuastic
:young lady the whole affair was
j “just immense.” A largo crowd
| with plenty to eat, plenty speech
making, and bright repartee, all
I combined to make the occasion one
I long to be remembered by those

PICNIC CUIJMBS.
Candidates: Oh Lord:
Three car-loadd of eatables.
The li. F. young men wore pink

A party of Trenton boys could
manage to stay two days on the
picnic grounds, feeding on rem

Rev. J. L. Prater, resolving him

AND OPENING OF THE CAM

o
To be Held in Trenton —Splendid
Preparations to bo Made by
the Citizons.
The holding of a Fourth of July
barbecue, and the opening of the
political campaign in Trenton on
said day, which was being agita

Monday night. Tin s of
Trenton assembled : rt

the practicability er
and the plans to be The
meeting was enthusiu no and all
of the opinion that the event would
prove of great benefit to the town
and county in more ways than one.
It being a national holiday, by a
careful arrangement, it would be a
means of bringing about one o f the
largest political and social gather
ings ever assembled in the town of
Trenton or the county of Dade.
Mr. B. T. Brock then arose and
moved that the meeting go into a
permanent organization and be
known as the Dade County Barbe
cue Association.
On motion J. A Case was made
permanent chairman of the associ
ation and Ed. C. Griscom secretary.
On mo.ion of Ed. C. Griscom it
was decided that the association
be divided into a series of com
mittees of arrangements,each hav

FOURTH OF JULY SPARKS.
Hurrah for the Fourth !
We predict the largest crowd
ever known to be iu Trenton.
B. F. Pace has generously offered
the use of the enclosure at Sulphur
Springs for the occasion.
It will be a regular old fashion
barbecue. It is to be a day of rest
for Ihe ladies and children, and
nut a worry over cakes and pies.
The grand stand for the speak
ers will be a beauty; artistically
decorated with flowers evergreens
garlands wreaths, and the stars
and stripes.
Comfortable seats will be pro
vided for the ladies in the shade,
and all are earnestly and cordially
invited to bo present and hoop up
things for their favorite candi
date. .
The Democratic Executive ’com
mittee of the 7tli congressional dis
trict have issued a call for a meet
; ing to be held at Dalton, 16th inst.

to attend said meeting.

BRIEFS.
Black-berries will soon be as
ripe and thick as candidates.
Mr. W. U, Jacoway is making a
first-class garden hand thro season.
Ho he sayjj,
Mrs. B. T. Brock has been spend
ing a few days with her mother,
Mrs. Cureton.
A. Rrown, \Y. U. Jacoway, and
J. A. Bennett are unexcelled as a
trio for telling snake and lizard
stories.
If any body will tell us how to
write the truth without offending
some one we will spare no labor
in learning the art
Wednesday, two men at work in
a well for Mr. B. T. Brock, were
drawn out almost insensible from
the (streets of white-damp.
Hon. G. W. M. Tatum thinks
that there is more in plowing a
potato patch at this stage of rhe
game than in hunting votes.
We are the happy recipients
of the nicest piece of honey of the
season Mr. W. F. Nethery is the
donor to whom we return thanks.
Wc understand that Mr. John
Long will be a candidate for shar
ill. If the assertion is a fair
minded, one, the boys can watch
out, fur is sure toffy.
Dolph Davenport of Chattanooga,
Tenu., one of the most genial
drummers that visit our town,
spent last Wednesday on the banks
of Lookout creek angling for trout
A child of Mr. Thos. Tittle, while
attempting to kindle a fire in the
stove by means of a brass lamp, was
severely burned about the arm and
shoulder. The burn is very deep
and may result fatally.
The weather is getting very hot
and sultry now, and we think our
school-children ought to 1m turned
loose these two months, and have
a good rest before the begining of
our August term of school.
The Chattanooga Times heads
an article “What shall we wear?”
Domed if wo know. At present
we are wearing simply a linen
shirt, but arc seriously thinking of
changing to mosquito netting.
Dolph Davenport says that »
country boy is not such a squash
head as he looks, that he was born
and raised in the country. Dolph
is a drummer f(sr a wholesale house
and is compelled to keep a full
supply of those kind on hand.
Filing news papers don’t make
them any sharper, but we advise
every one to file the Dade County
News on, and at the oiaL
of the year ®id them in a boo*
as you will have one of the most
valuable household references
and Sunday reading that can be
had anywhere.
Misses Lula Smith,Carrie Lump
kin and Lula Case, Messrs. Jas. R.
Brock, Will Thurman and I). A.
Acuff constituted a very pleasant
rambling party after flowers, moss
and evergreens, last Tuesday. The
day must have past off very pleas
antly, as the young people came
back overflowing with mirth.
How much is lost to our little
town for want of a little courage.
We have the willingness to do, but
wo fail to do it. The state ot the
world is ouch, and so much de
pends ou action, that everything
seems to say loudly to every man,
“Do something,do it, do it.” Some
are mere opologies for workers,
even when they pretend to be up
and at it.
While we are making strenuous
rfforts to bring about a develop
ment of the vast mineral resources
of Dade, let us do with its realities,
aud not with that which fancy
paints or the imagination depicts in
such glowing and brilliant colors.
Grasp the attainable, if it be a laud
aide object, and reach not after
that which reason and intelligence
declares can never be attained.
There is no warrant in Scripture or
history for disregard of the ordi
nary laws of security and success.
A newspaper man works 365 j
day in a year —that’s labor. A few
men appreciate jhis efforts and give
him a dollar in advance for his pa
per—that's capital. Then again
a few come along, subscribe for his
paper for three or four years, cuss
the editor and paper and sneak off
without paying him anything—
that’s robbery and anarchy.
Sometime these same men die, and
sink into a subterraneous pit, grope
their way through the darkness
until they come to a large iron
gate on which they gently rap.
And all of a sudden the gate flies
open, and the darkness is lighted
up by a lurid flame that smells
strongly of brimstone. And there
standing before them, with a smile
of recognition, is the editor with
their bill in hand —liiat’s hell,
