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 I‘Yoin Washington. “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.] MONEY TO LOAN. Apply to B. T.
