A Litt!s Heart to Liecar:
Talk With You,
Merchants and professional
men of Hazlehurst: Do you think
that you are treating your home
paper right, by giving every fal
low who comes along, and claims
that he represents & ptinting
office, an order for job work?
Does that fellow spend any mon
ey with you? Hardly.
Do they say nice things through
their paper, week after v.veek,
about yeur town, your family or
yourself? Do they weep and
sympathize with you in times of
misfortune and death, like your
home paper does? Well, hardly.
Do they whoop you up and lie
for you, when you announce
yourself as a candidate for some
office, like your home paper does?
Not much.
Do they spend any money in
your town? Only for board the
little while they are here.
Every dollar that is made in
this office is spent in the t,own,'
save what is sent away to pay
paper and stationery bills.
Its true, we can’t get out as
neat a paper as we would like to
(but hope to soon), owing to lack
of material, but ag te. job. work,
we are prepared to turn out as
neat artistic job printing as you
can get elsewhere, and at prices
less than it will cost you at other
places, considering the express
charges you have to pay.
-» We have a good job press, good
new rollers, and first-class sta
tionery. - Then why send yoar
work away, when we really need
your patronage?
There is nothing that discour
ages a eountry editor so much,
and make him fee!like threwing
up the sponge, as tohavethe peo
plein his home town send their
iob work out of it to be excuted,
when he could do.it just as well,
probablyat lessfigures. [He feels
like his efforts are not apprecia
ted. And they are not, like they
ought to be.
If our memory serves us cor
rectly, Geergia went prohibition
a year or two ago. We asked a
man the other day, where did
those of our citizens who were
fend of a dram, order the stufi
from these days, since the state
went dry? He broke outinto a
big laugh, and said: “Why, they
order some times from Savannah
and sometimes from Brunswick.
They sell as much liquor—if net
more—in Savannah new, then
they ever did. They ship it all
over the ccuntry, just like they
always did.” This is irdeed a
strange state of affairs. In some
towns in the state the lid seems
to be on tight, while in others
booze flows freely. What kind
of a prehibition state is Georgia,
any way? :
Old General Sherman once
made the remark, that "war was
hell.” And right Lere we will
state, that pclitics, now-a-days,
is just what Sherman termea
war was. It causcs friends to
fall out and become enewiss. It
causes men todo low, dirty tricks
to carry their points,believing in
the saying, that “everything is.
fair in politics.” We actually
wouldn’t have the best office
within the gift of the people, if
we bad to run for it. So pleuse
excuse us, when you are looking
around next year for u Governor,
Congressman or U. S, Senator-
We will not be in the race,
The heat was so severe in'
New York City last Monday that |
it killed forty babies and seven
adults, Ten thousand people
Blept on the beach at Cany Island
Monday nighs. iyl
We Hitve go¥ a little suggestior
to malge to our “‘city dads,” and
whether they opprove the idea or
or not,we believe that it will meat
with the approval of a majority
of our citizens, and its this: Do
away with this perquisite 'busi
ness, and put. the marshal on a
straight salary. An officer ‘who
‘gets a doljar for every arresfi he
} makes, is often censured wrong
fully, Many times he is accused
of making arrests simply to get
his cost outof them. Pay our
marshal a straight salary and
then there will be no room for
expressions of this kind.
Mr. Webb is a good, fearless
officer, and has the best interesi
of our city at heart, agall times,
and we think a town the size of
ours could easily offord to pay a
man like him $60.00 per - month,
The marshal of Baxley gets S6O.
per month, so we learn, and it
seems to us like our town could
afford to pay the same.
Put him on a straight salary at
some price. It will be best for
him, and best for the town,
No Change in the Pen
gion Law,
The bill that passed the House
of Re%resentatives by a vote of
129 to 7, to put in force the new
constitutional amendment that
provides a peasion for all Confed
erate soldiers, and the widows of
Confederate Soldiers married
‘prior to the Ist of January, 1870
noet worth ever Fifteen Hundred
Dollars, was tabled im the appro
priation committee of the Senate.
Therefore nc claim has been
made thatafects the present
pension laws, All who desire to
apply for a pension under the
present law may make and file
their application in this office be
fore October Ist next. .
