OUR YEAR OF JU BILEE

There are Of many course who Will
no, agree with the sentiments expressed
below. and while we are not of those
who believe in kicking man after he
is down, the article is printed 10 show
in what estimation Mr.. Cleveland is
held by member Of his own party.
Under the above caption ,ht Sparta
(Ga.) LhmaeHts -a,a:
On Thursday, March 4th, at IL
O'Clock meridian. Tie people Of the
United States Will experience the most
joyous radiance III The history Of more
than d century. On tina, day and at
that hour, Grpler Cleveland Will lay
down the office .aIth he secured
through hypocrisy aud false prelence,
tour years ago, and That he has lost no
oppoIlunit, 10 dIshonpr, during every
moment Of hi, accused stewardship.
Wors. than any ljrm OF deprivation
or disease IS a midnight Of four years
Of hypocrisy, cDwarice, turbulence,
treaChery and .ahone,ty in office, and
II IS from that aggrt CATION Of curses
that the people are 50 soon to find de
llveranCe.
In official life III the United States
there have been occasional acts Of
treachery on the part OF the servants
Of the people. In the case of Grover
Cleveland, treaChery has been the
warp and wooi and filling Of his entire
term Of Office.
Had the tallhlessness Of this mons
trOus CarlCature on honorable III an
hood been confined to efforts to de-
sttoy the party to which he owed his
promotion, some palllation Of such
eAormity might be suggested by the
enemies of tina, party; but that phase
Of his ,reaChery has not been the most
pronounced or the most persistent Of
his tOrtuOuo career.
He has brought the flag OF the coun-
try INTO contempt, by making it the
sponsor for the crimes OF despols ON
foreign shores.
If it has been fGr hire, for the past
four years, as were the banners of rob
Der chiefs in the olden times, appear
anCes have done him great injustice.
1t Is not easy not to SEE some sugges-
ton of this IN the grea, wealth which
he Will carry with him out of office.
The honor of flags and of peoples has
been sold for gold in the days that are
past, by men no, less entitled to char
liable consideration al the hands OF
| their fellows.
Thank God this long midnight OF
meauness and dlshOnor is SO nearly
ended that the dawn may already be
seen in the east Its coming suggests
the keeping in remembrance forever
as day of hope and lhankfulness, the
4th Of March, 1897. 1t means more
to the people than the 22nd of Febru,
airy, 1882, or the 4th Of July, 1776:
fol during the pas, four years, the
peoples heritage of freedom has been
in greater peril from the ,reachery OF a
pretended friend than it ever was from
the hostile arms Of the chief among the
robber nations of the earth.
CastOria is truly a marvellous thing
| for children. Doctors prescribe it, med
| ical journals recommend it and more
| than a million mothers are using it in
| place of Paregoc, Bateman $ Drops, So
called soothing syrups and other mar
cote and Supplying remedies. CastOra
is the quickest thing to regulate the
stomach and bowels and give healthy
| sleep the world has ever seen. 1t is pleas
| ant to the taste and absolutely harm
less. 1t relieves constipation, quiets
| pain, cures diarrhpa and wind collie, al
lays feverishness, destroys worms, and
| prevents commissions, sOOthes the child
and gives it refreshing and natural sleep.
Castoria is the chldren's panacea-the
mother friend.
Castoria is put up in one size bottles
only. 1t is not sold in bulk. Don't al,
low any one to sell you anything else on
the plea or promise that it is lust as
good and Twill answer every purpose
See that you get C-A-S-T-O-R-I-A.
