As we wish to get the old books
straightened up we request allow
ing The News to walk up and set
tle. Some are two, three, four and
five years behind with their sub
scription and to them we request
an immediate settlement. It you
wi sh your paper stopped settle up
and it will be done,but not before.
There is a law making it a crimi
nal offense to take a paper out of
the office without paying for it.
We know that a great many
will claim that they have not re
ceived thoir paper regular but those
doing so are not honest.
A bill has been introduced in the
legislature of Pennsylvania to
in: :e employers pay a fine 25 cents
per (lay foi each unnaturalized per
son kept in their employment. Of
course it stands no chance of pass
age. The mills and foundries of
Pensvlvania contain hundreds of
unnaturalized foreigners, and thus
bring the “pauper labor” of Europe
into the closets competition with
native labor. But the protection
ist clamor against foreign pauper
label is on ly in the interest of em
ployers, not their employes,
Gen. Algol contradicts a newspa
per report that he intended to call
on Senator Sherman for a retrac
tion or proof of char, os made a
gninst him (Alger) in connection
with the change of negro votes
from Sherman to Alger
in lie Chicago convention, Algers
ch-cretian in this. He
no doubt wants to have that matter
stirred up r- little as possible, and
will endure all the hard things
Sherman is reported to have said
bout him lather thai stir up too
uncomfortable an investigation,
A defaulting attorney is reported
10 have fled from Montreal with a
large amount of money deposited
with him by merchants.and farm
* rs. There is something encourag
ing in this. If we got a number
of Canadian defaulters or thieves
a.', refugees to the United States,
perhaps an exchange can be effect
in which we will get back our own,
and they will have their thieves
returned. The sayingis “a fair ex
change is no robbery,” and we sup
pose the rule will hold good when
robbers themselves are exchanged.
Entertainment.
The Dramatic Club have fixed
upon Tuesday March the sth as the
day for their grand entertainment*
and the pub ic may expect one of
the rarest treats of tlw year. Doors
will bo open at the Methodist'
church, and the entertainment
will begin promptly at 7,30 p. m.
All the magnificent scenery is now
r<* n .dy, and long practice has made
ca-h actor thoroughly acquainted
with his part.
Reserved seats will bo arranged
so that those preforing, may avoid
all crouding and rush by the nay
ment of a fin ill amount above
price of admission. Fine scenery
good music and a grand entertain
ment in ever)’ respect.

section will subscribe for a num
ber of copies of The News and send
them north they will find that their
county will prosper.
Our office is in a rather dilapi
dated condition iwing to the oafish
condition of our predecessors, who
it appears had i.o knowledge what
ever of the nons.
It is our policy to give all a hear
in that wants it, and we tender the
use of our columns to any one that
has a subject on their brain that
they want to put in print.
All we ask of the iron men is for
them to come and examine
the ore for themselves. T. J. Lump
kin will take pleasure in showing
them any ore in the county.
The iron and coal in this section
is in such close proximity that the
cost of the iron can
be made as cheap as in the Birm
ingham district or cheaper,
Dade county abounds in as fine
iron lands a* can be f und anywhere

Why is it that Trenton hasn’t

An Energetic Citizen.
Trenton has within her limits
one men capable of rising above
her activity, and non progressive
spirit and upon her ruined castles
of former years build a town akin
to the mushrooms growth of a wes
tern village. J. B. Williams has
fired off the first big gun of the
boom that is as inevitable as fate.
Col. Williams has bought four town
lots paying therefor the moderate
sum of sll per front foot, upon
which he will erect buildings for
rent and from present indications
they will go like hot cakes at a
negro camp meeting.
In addition to this progressive
move Col. W. has purchased a bar
rel of coal oil and ordered three
dozen street lamp., for the purpose
of illuminating the town.
In a few nights old Trenton will
appear as if invested with num
berless Jacko’lanterns, and the na
tives from the mountains will Hock
to the brows overlooking tho town,
and in future years relate to tlmir
gran I children the story o' the
town and the man who bu it,
and without any other human id
All honor to tho dady of the now
Trenton in the heart of the new*
South.
“RANDOM SHOTS” TAKEN AT
A VENTURE.
EDITCH 01- Til ?. -NEWS;
Again wo welcome you to your
old place in our midst, wo welcome
you, because you proved yourself a
friend in days of vore. We wel
come you, because we believe ; ou
posess a soul too magnanimous to
abuse and slear one of your fellow
tow ns-men, just hoc; use he Imp
pens to be a memi>.-r of “The
Church” or, be cause his character
chances to be free fron some of the
little(?)blears that darkenandstain
some of his neighbors*.
We welcome you, but oh ! we re
gret it deeply that you find us in
such a commotion of religious hat
red. lieligeon—yes it is one kind.
I sometimes dreadfully fear, that
if the Angels of God were to visit
Trenton, as they anciently visited
Sodom, in smirch of a righteous
man, their search would be
almost as fruitless as in the case of
Sodom.
You remember reading, not long
since, in “Our Paper” that Trenton
was nearer united now, religeously,
than she ever had been before.)
That was so then. Now tell us oh.|
ye who have occupied the pulpit—
the printing office —who is to blame
for all this dissention? You have
hacked and cut and abused till it is
%
beyond all human indurance. And
if we dare defend our principles or
denounce, some of the most lienious
crimes a town was ever cursed with,
you cry out “backbiter, slander.”
Oh 1 ye white robed saints: I won
.er if some of you could be slum
dered.
The Catholic cardinals
psrmited ' Luther to defend him
self, (or his followers to defend
him), as despised as they were.
Surely you vJkgive us poor despis
ed fanatics(r) the saqA privilege.
Yet God knows we dWove Chris
tians, no matter where they are, wo
do love truth and honesty and in
tend to defend our principles when
ever they are assailed, and it is in
our power to do so.
“We intend to tell the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the
truth.”
You can call it gossip, slander or
what you please, things are not al
ways called by their right name no
how.
Oh ! for some one to pour oil upon
the troubled waters.
We turn to you Mr. Editor and
do hope you will prove the “good
Samaritan”—the peace maker.
“Blessed are the peacemakers
for they shall be called the chil
dren of God.” A. J. T.

NOT /IBA.\DOM'D,
“Our Grover" Believes In Tariff Reform And
Forcibly Says So.
Chicago, 111., Feb. 19.—The con
vention of the American Tariff Re
form association, began business at
the Madison Street theater this af
ternoon. When John Z. White,
secretary of the associatio i, called
the meeting to order, only 200 of
the 600 delegates were present.
White said that the object of the
convention was to arouse popular
sentiment on the question of re
form in the tariff. He then read a
letier from President Cleveland,
which is as follows :
Executive Mvnsion, /
Washin gtox , J an. 24,1889.)
John Z. White, Esq , Secretary, Etc.
Dear Sir: —l have received the
u ffion of the Tariff Reform
L i t 13 to be present at a conven-
C .of tariff reformers, to be held
i in the city of Chicago, on the 19th,
j 20th and 21st of February, 1889.
1 1 have also read the circular of the
league, nccompaying this invitation
in which the object and purpose
of the proposed convention are
specially set forth. The scheme
of practical and efficient work
therein described meets with my
hearty approval and promises, if
honesty adhered to, a most valua
ble aid in furtherance of the cause
which is very near to the interest
and welfare of our p ;uplo. The
danger which we have to guard
against is fne misleading of our
countrymen by specious theories,
cunningly contrived and falsely
offering to the people relief from
present burdens and Jogittmib
benefits of bonefieieut rule under
the sanction of free institutions.!
Thedeclared purposes ofvour league
will not be attained until all those I
interested in the economic question \
which is- now pressed upon their!
attention are freed from dl soph; •-
tries and clouding fallacies and
until the subject of tariff reform
is presented to them as a topic in
volving the relief of the plain peo
ple of tne lands in their homes
from useless aud unjust expenses.
The question is and plsfin
one, and needs * but to be : fairly
presented to be understood. It is
the positive duty of your organiza
tion to gunnl the people against
deception. My extreme interest
in the work which your league has
undertaken and in the expressed
objects of the proposed convention
would lead me to accept your invi
tation if it were possible to do so,
but my public duties here positive
ly prevent such acceptance. Hop
ing that the convention will be
veiy successful, line! with ah'earn
est wish for the prosperity and suc
cess of your league in its efforts to
enlighten and beeefit He people, I
am,
Yours, very truly
Grover Cleveland.
Great applause greeted the read
ing of the letter, after which rou
tine business began. E. Burnett
Smith of Chicago was elected tem
porary chairmrn and read an ad

A util EffdlSir* Siftln*
Many months (little riples on
the stream of time) have passed
away since I have written aline for
publication—neither have I spent,
but a very small portion of my
valuable time, in edifying occupa-
of “gossip” I have so little
time to spare for pleasure or reel e
ation. Indeed I could not write now,
were it not for a very restless wel
come that keeps bobing up from
my over burdened heart, anxious
to escape n, or my “unruly
members” and like Banguos gho.-t
it will not down at my bidding—
until it escapes. So thrice wel
come to our “Beautiful city Broth
erly ioye” (anew name given to
Trenton by some : f the small boys)
Oh white robed spirit of good
old quacker Penn, don’t this read to
you likeirony(?)—you who squar
ed your life by the Saviour’s gol
den rule, I wish we all were Quack
ers, or at_ least possessed the inate
spirit of truth, and meekness said
to char, terize tl a humble people.
When they meet to worship they
do not sing, only when they are
moved by the spirit, to sing with
an understanding heart. If none
of our people ever sang until the
spirit of love and devotions forced
the words of song from their lips
wouldn’t our congregations be sil
ent ones? Wouldn’t the moun
tains of sins heaped up against our
people be smaller than they now
are. It does appear like blasphe
my to me to hear a greater part of
a congregation of bedressed. be
scented, befeathered, bejeweled
dudes, and dadesses, with averted
eyes, and wide open mouthes (if
they have false teeth) singing songs
that Bunyan would have bowed his
head to sing in Bedfords prison.
' If all the parents of our town were
, Quae’:' rs, would so many of our
: small boy < use language on the
' streets strong enough to make a
negro blush (if you could s<*e the
} blush) and hurry by( ?) —would so
, m-iu vof them (the hoys) swear
| oaths, that would break the jaws
l of an alligator to utter them?
! ,<r . , ~
would so many ot our young men,
j with a pip;:, or cigar, in their
, mouths, now go smoking like a,
small engine seeking their wav to
Rkd Hill, if their parents had
heed Quackers. Quackers set their
children no bid examples, either
by drinking whisky, on voting in
favor of it's introduction. On how
many parents will be overwhelmed
at the day of judgment by their
cry. Father, Mother I might have
boen.sav id had you donevour duty.
Well I hid not the least idea whai
i was going to say (only welcome)
wii n 1 begun writing. I know
•nd t noughts are bust but my
first ones will have to go this—
It is Late—l’ve had just- one hour
to uiink and write in—l’ve made
many errors i know, hut it is only.
