lilM'G FAWN'. 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. . * i 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. FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT. Flux is prevalent in the com mon it v. Mr. Chus. Allison is back from | York, Ala., visiting friends Rev. Mr. GJazuev ha been in quite feeble health for several days, i Mr. Winston, United States dep uty marshal, was in town last night.; Farmers are making good use of! this pretty weather, trying to j conn tv. r general green. Sheriff Byrd made us a flying visit. Bill, like all the candidates, wears a broad smile. Mr. Charlie Ross and Miss Lon a Mosley was mad Forte by the holy bonds of wedlock last week. Mr. Winston’s wife and three lit tle daughters came in last Sunday to spend the Summer in Rising Fawn. Our Hotel is on a boom, Boarders coming from various sec tions. Mr. Joe L. White and Miss Fan nie Hale were married Thurd&y at •i o’clock. The young couple need no commendation at our hands. They enjoy the esteem and love of a wide circle of friends, who bon., the star that irradiates the mat .- moniul sky wi”< ever g n ■ i\ in in the path of hap- mens Rising l awn, Juno 14ih. * jriQi ■>■ THE SICK. Miss Mary Corput is very sick, ?vliss Laura Notherv is improv ing. Tony Gifford is very ill with fever. Brown Williams will soon be out again. Miss Ida Ketcherside is sick, with the fever. BYRD’S CHAPEL PICNIC. ! To do justice to all the picnic i occasions, it would require of us a | special reporter for that particular I purpose, yet with reference to the j one last Saturday at the chapel, we ! 'V.uld have predicted the result. 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 ! who participated'iu the festivities. PICNIC CUIJMBS. Candidates: Oh Lord: Three car-loadd of eatables. The li. F. young men wore pink ties. The mutton was all eaten up, but not a taste did the preacher get. How’s that Bill S—. James Allison was there, and he h-e-e yes lm well, you know he -did. - A party of Trenton boys could manage to stay two days on the picnic grounds, feeding on rem nants all the while. Rev. J. L. Prater, resolving him self into, a committee of the whole on programme announced, and in a rather facetious manner intro duced the speakers. FOiIITII liF Jill BARBECUE o AND OPENING OF THE CAM PAIGN 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 ted, assumed a defiv ' • - 'e last Monday night. Tin s of Trenton assembled : rt house for t he pur]' ng 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 ing a. special work assigned them to perform ; also that a chief mar shall. with a competent corps of deputies detailed to preserve or der, and arrest any and all persons in an intoxicating condition on the grounds, or that are guilty of disorderly conduct of any nature that may give offense to a lady. This motion subject to the ap proval of the Board of Town Com missioners. On motion of Dr. Jar. R. Brock. G. Vv. M. Tatum, Payton Pace, B. T.

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. i Mr. John P. Jacoway leaves to day to attend said meeting. Wanted—the names of a few sensible people who know how to 1 take a juke. , 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, JUMPKIN& BKO< K, L Attorneys - at - Law, Trenton, Ga. JOHN G.
