J. E. OARDNER,
Editor and Proprietor.
Entered at the Poet Office at Athene,
Ga., ae Second-Clare matter.
Publlehed every Friday at the office of
The Courier, on Broad Street.
SALUTATORY NO. 4
The Courier ia closing up the
fourth 4 calendar year of ita exis
tence—and many have been the
varied conditions and up-hill
pulls that we have had; we have
endeavored to be fair and juat to
every one, and if an injustice hue
been done any one, it was an
error of the head and not of the
heart, and if you will tell us what
it is we will apologize. We feel
in our heart that we have done
right, and have no regrets to make
our heart sad during the preient
time where both gladneas and
want reign supreme.
We have tried to wield our pen
against all classes of sin and
wickedness, and in doing so we
were compelled to use some very
severe language, but we are sure
that we have never printed a word
that would make the blush of
shame come to the cheeks of the
most timid woman, or the most
innocent child.
While we have confessed quite
frequently that we were not an
angel, yet we dared to stand pat
upon the ground that “you and
me should not do such things.”
We have fought against gambling
in all its phases—the gam cling
den, betting on horse races, elec
tions, crap-shooting, as well us
the high-toned live-hand euchre,
where prizes were the stakes, anc
some of which break up iu row a
and hard feelings. But be it said
to the credit of Athens and Geor
gia that such things are rapidly
being numbered with the things
that were—we hear of it less now
than ever before. We do not say
we did it, but the tendency in this
line is for the better.
We have warred against deco-
lettee dresses either at public or
private balls, especially in the
case of women whose faded charms
indicate that they belonged to the
long ago.
We have suggested that the
dresses of the younger ladies
should be in accord with modesty
and that fashions edicts should
not fill their brains to such an
extent that the dresses they wear
would attract young men in a sen
sual way, and thus lose the higher
admiration for which every wo
man should try to merit.
We have tried to warn the
young and innocent girls of the
mony pitfalls and slippery places
lying right in their pathway, and
show them that by a little self-
will they could say to satan,
clothed in the garb of young men,
“Get thee behind me.”
We have been unalterably op
posed to the sale of whiskey in the
dispensary for reasons too numer
ous now to mention—you have
read them beforo. It makes us
all whiskey sellers, and therefore
responsible for the murders, sui
cides, thievery and the other sins
inoident to the sale of liquor.
How God in His goodness even,
has allowed the town to stand
under such a terrible blot, we are
at a loss to understand, but we
presume there must be found ten
good men within our borders. We
propose to keep up the liok against
suoh things, as long as we have
a tongue to wag or a pencil to
push. ,
We are sure we have done good
We believe me have saved the
town money. A gentleman came
to us the other day and placing
hit band upon our shoulder said
"Look at me iu the eye, and you
will see that I am sober—an un
usual thing for me, you say. Well
it is, but I have -quit the stuff.
shown me where I have been drift
ing. it has been three months
since I have taken a drop and by
the help of God I never expect to
take another. No, sir, the taxes
of our people will not be paid by
me any more, and this Christmas
my family will receive presents
instead of a drunken husband and
father as has been the case for a
number of years. I thank you
for what you have done for me and
mine.” We only publish this be
cause we want to say that if our
efforts for these four years has
accomplished nothing but this it
has been four years well spent.
. But Sunday is Christmas. May
God bless every one of our sub
scribers and the world in general
and give them peace and pros
perity.

Price Raised.
Beginning with January 1st
the subscription price of the
Courier will be One Dollar a
year. It takes that much to get
out a paper. All those who
have paid in advance will re
ceive the paper up to the time
for which they have paid with
out the additional charge, and
those who pay us 50 cents in
advance between now and that
time may receive the paper at
the former price for as many
years as they may pay ahead.
We are going to improve the
Courier, and we ask the co-op
eration of all. There are a few
on our large subscription list
that we will be compelled to cut
off, unless they pay up, and we
hope they will not allow this to
be done. Come on in and re
new. It will help us during
Christmas.
