Harmony
A ueopi.e’s morals are sustained
by their religion—their religion by
their education. Let tlie people of
Rising Fawn take thj« to heart.
Rist.vo Fawn may be a “hard”
place, but they are not suffering
half as much for the want- of re
ligion and S’, inlay schools, as they
are for education and every-day
schools.
If wo are ever to be anything we
must make a begining, and the
board of commissioners have
illustrated by assessing a tax on
city property, that, they are not
afraid to take the first step.
Oh Rising Fawn, how you are
to be pitied. With all your relig
ion, boasted wealth, you arc so dis
gruntled and out of harmony, you
cannot establish a common school,
and yet you will speak and talk of
the bright and prosperous future
that will soon strike your settle
ment. If a boom does strike you,
we sincerly hope if will hr an edu
cational boom large enough to sat
isfy the longings of your numerous
children.
We believe if there were as many
preachers on education as there are
preachers of the gospel, and that
| the people contributed as much to
ward education as 'they do the
church, and took as much interest
in the earthly welfare of their chil
dren as they do their eternal wel
fare, there would he more religion
and of a much better quality. With
the men and money that Rising
Fawn it is a shame to let
time ti vby without giving the com
munity the advantage of a good
common school.
We have no desire to be hard on
Rising Fawn or pour water on u
drowned mouse; if through mis
fortune you can’t organiz- ; school,
why you can’t. It is hard to sail
over the sea in an egg shell, we
know, but we firmly believe, if the
people will day aside their petty
differences add cease thinking of
trying to ‘'gather grapes from
thottis thistles” they
would b$ spavpd ißdme sore disap
pointments, ■>ahiF would he able to
h.f, school
build! ng s W /r
There is T something “rotten in
Denmark.” ‘ The free labor list at
Rising Fawn and Cole City con
tinues to decrease and our county
is losing some Qjd citizens and
good men, Tlie latest is tlie loss of
Mr. J. S. Colyar, night furnace
man at the Fawn. This is to be
regretted, and th : departure of Mr.
Colyar and wife, will be a .great
loss to the refined and eultimid so- #
cir.l circles of Rising Fawn.
Probably no count’ 1 ’ is blessed
with as much religion as Trenton,
Rising Fawn,and Clovcidale. We
have creeds and denominations of
all kind- ; lodges and sub-lodges;
daily an d week Iy prot r; • c ted m eel -
ings, associations and revivals all
over the county, and yet the
preachers say that wo arc “hard”
and naturally barren of every thing
good, though prolific of evil, and
that ii will be along time before we
are possessed of a knowledge of
erne piety.

Dade county is a county of poli
tics, yet, through customary faint
ness of heart, you cannot find one
man out of twenty that will ven
ture to express himself, with free
thoughts, on the situation. Near

under the tyranny of usurped
opinions.
It is amusing to hear some men
sit around, bemoan the fate and
condition ol’ tilings, and expatiate
on the terrible lives our boys are
leading, and at tlio same time are
not turning a wheel for their gen

men, judge each other by their
deed.s, not their words.
