Of a Former Dade County Belle
at Ringgold, Ga.
Editor News: —Last Tuesday
your correspondent witnssed the
marriage of Miss Heftie Anderson
to Mr David Gilroath, at the resi
dence of the bride’s father, Mr.T.E.
Anderson, near Ringgold, Ga.
Only a few friends were present,
and me as the only representative
of a host of friends of the bride in
the old state of Dade, wished ;liem
good luck and a happy life.
The marriage feast was an ele
gant display of everything, tempt
ing, and worthy to be eaten by the
qU°en of England, or the richest
potentate of any country. We en
joyed it, and while we did so our
thoughts turned to the hungry edi
tors of the News, and we wished
them here.
To the citizens of Dade county,
the many virtues and rare accom
plishments of the fair bride would
be a relation of that already known
and duly appreciated. Her girl
hood days were spent under the
shadow of old Lookout only two
miles from Trenton, Here the
people learned to lov’e and esteem
and admire the frank open charac
ter over which none could cast a
blemish.
Mr. Gilreath is a young man
with a future before lam, unde* r
rie;- the good wisher of all wi.j
know him. I

“The melancholy days have
come, thesado' iL etc.
The above 1- b by up a ted by
democrats holding government po
sitions. Even democratic mem
bers of both house and senate real
ize there is more consolation in the
old song: “Tn the sweet, bye and
bye,” than they ever before felt.
Such expressions as, “I am go
ing to a walking school,” “I am
learning to march,” etc., are fre
quently heard, and has been the
state of feelings since the house
has been conceded to the Republi
cans.
“Who hit Billy Patterson? ”
This is a question on which many
differ, but the principle as well as
the most prevailing answer, is:
“Cleveland’s tariff message,”
which they think was opportune.
This act of th< President was the
great “boodle gatherer” that piled
up the Republican campaign fund.
By striking at the interests of cor-
porations, syndicates and monopo
lies, whether composed of demo
crats or republicans, caused them
to reach down deep into their
pockets to help defeat what they
considered a to “their
spindle mills and foundries.
Why do 1 say oppertune? Be
cause the greater patt of the voters
of our country are not sufficiently
educated to allow them to delve be
low the surface of the tariff ques
tion and ascertain what is best for
themselves.
If the democratic party had not
incensed the men of money, the
“boodle” of the democrats would
have been great as the Republi
can’s.
The President’s last message
was a voluminous document, re
quiring two and one-half hours to
read it. If this message had been
made at the time of the other,there
is not much doubt but what Gro
ver would nov preparing for a
second ir.iu. uretffin. In this
4
message lv.* de- mr tffiv tariff re
form will finally b iemph.
In the cycles of time when men
stand on a higher plane, and are at
outs w..th illiteracy on national
questions, Grover Cleveland will
be honored by a people for whose
best interests he sacrificedhis posi
tion as chief magistrate of the
nation of the first world.
From Spencer.
Mr. Editor: My subscription to
your excellent paper has about ex
pired, so I enclose one dollar for
renewal. I wish to express my ap
preciation of the paper under the
present administration. I think it
has been greatly improved, and I
am now proud of it as my county
paper. The people of Dade
ought to support and help it to ful
fill its important mission for good.
A good newspaper is next to the
minister of the gospel and school
teacher in elevating the morals of
the community, and leading the
people in proper of
thought and noble endeavor.
I notice that you complain of
some unjust criticism. This you
might as well become use to, for as
long as you are a public servant.you
will be criticised. Console your
self with the thought, that men are
frequently to be praised for the
enemies they make, and remember
that men’s faults are buried and
their praises sung after they are
dead.
I have looked with painful *sus
pense tor a, report of the prohibi
tion vote of Dade. Is it possible
that your gqpd people are not yet
aroused to the importance of sup
pressing the gigantic crime of the
legislature liquor traffic?
The poor old democratic party is
stranded forever on the sandbars
of sectional hate and prejudice.
Let the good people of that party
leave the shivered wreck and join
a living party, fighting for a cause
worthy the sympathy and support
of all good men.
Please see that my paper comes
more regularlly. It brings so
many names that recall many fa
miliar faces and loved scenes of
the dear by-gone years. I will
ever feel a kindly interest in the
friends of my boyhood days. My
mind frequently wanders over the
sacred hills and dales of my native
land.
Our school is doing very well,
and 1 am happy and contented.
Wishing you all a merry Christ
mas and a happy Now Year, I am
truly yours, \V. H. Sutton.
[A letter like the above is, in
deed, genuine encouragement, and
coming from the source it does, is
doubly appreciated. It has an ( vi
dcnce of philosophy characteristic
of the man; and in it is an expres
sion to us for which we arc thank
ful, and feel a to ob
serve. Mr. Suttog, although his
true interests lie elsewhere, mani
fests an interest unknown to the
major part of our own citizens.
Write again Mr, S., and bo as
sured your letters will meet with
a due appreciation wherever they
may be read.—Ed.]
