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. MONEY TO LOANL Apply to B. T. Brock Trenton •da , who negotiates on real estate on five years time, at a low rate ot interest.

The furnace track at Rising Fawn was washed out of line by high water Sunday. If you wish to stop your paper don’t have the postmaster to do it but be a man and walk up to the office and settle all dues. If the property owners of this 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 lyeingon each side of the Alabama Great Southern "Railroad, If you don’t believe it come and see. The cellar of Fricks Bros, store at Rising Fawn was filled with water by the he vy rail s Tthe col lar, contained meat, meal, Hour, etc. We failed to learn what damage w as done. Why is it that Trenton hasn’t improved while she abounds in so money advantages not to be found in other localities? Her minerals and water resources can not be ex celled, The natural advantages of Tren ton and railroad transportation far exceeds that of any other town on the Alabama Great Southern railroad between Chattanooga and Aitalln. DEVOTJW) TO TfT*s DEVELOPMENT OP THE RESOCECE3 OF DADE COUNTY. TRENTON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY, 22. IS?,:). Build bowses. A house we must have. Dade county has coal. Dade county has lead. Dade county has ocher, Dado county has ir n ore. My kingdom for a house. Dade county lias fire clay. Dado county has brick clay . Dade county has limestone. ; Let the croakers take a bin k seat.

Stop your bickerings and go to pulling together. i Mr. Wardlow of Chattanooga, was in town Tuesday. Dade county has different kinds of mineral waters. We have had some very cold weather this week. Old Lookout creek tried mighty hard to do some devuiment. We are glad to note that “Roby” has his buggy wheels reversed. It he vrill just keep them that way. If Trenton or Rising Fawn want this paper let oiks or the other of the towns hustle around and get us a house. If capitalists wish to ir , : mineral lands they can !i.- no better in Georgia or ALAu is. u in Dade county, Ga. Say you property owners, don’t you feel enough interest in the. town to build a few iesidehc.es or sell off a few lots cheap? If you do get to work. One blast furnace was erected in Dade county in 1875-6 and has hma successful in the manufact ures of iron from the ores and coal in this county. Trenton’s motto seems to be, let prosperity go to the devil and if any one should come here with the idea of trying to build up the town we will tar and feather them. Mr. L. L. Thomasson of Chattan ooga, and Mr. Myers, of Boston, Mass.,was here Tuesday. Mr. My ers, it seems fell in love with our coal as he carried away a big chunk. We make our final appeal to the patrons of the News and ask that all unpaid subscriptions be paid promptly to the new management. B. T. Brock. 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. Marriage Not a Failure Rockmart, Ga., Feb. 17. —J. A. Fambro has a grin on his face as large .as a sheet. It is only a lit tle girl and he is papa, and it weighs seven pounds. 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 dress. 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.
