untvise praise may occasionally be like the

lursons, young or old, are making honest
efforts after success they should be cneour

Linked in one with thoother these words
nre Inseparable, they are the teuderest,
truest words in the vocabulary of a com
munity or a nation. Our country is at
peace with the world. The effusive bellig
erents may rant for war, hut thinking men
are-satisfied with perfect peace,unless per
chance our honor be involved. At no
time in the history of the south would war
prove more disadvantageous to this imme
diate section. For the first time in our
knowledge tile eye of the world is earnest
ly upon us. We are drawing to us the cap
ital, brain and brawn of other sections
and other climes. If we are wise we will
not aid any movement which will even
temporarily stop so desirable a consumma
tion. Until the last few years, and especial
ly within the past eighteen months, there
never was any real genuine desire on the
part of capital from other sections to find
a habitation among tis. Now it is coming
rapidly. Now the influential journals of
the east and west and of Europe nre vol
untarily pointing out the valuable oppor
tunities awaiting men of means and a will
here in the south. A war with Mexico
could have hut one termination. The
sixty-one millions of Anglo-Saxons would
puHh the Aztec’s unworthy sons to the
wall, and our public domain would have
added to it much of Mexico’s valuable
mines and lands. With a good govern
ment established over this naturally at
tractive section, capital and men would
flock to its development. In the push of
the restless American population to grasp
the tempting chances the whilom lands of
the Monte/.umas would offer, the steady,
but less rose-tinted, openings of our south
ern states would he ignored, at least for a
while. Our voice is for honorable peace,
for while the country at large might be
at lost benefited, we would feel the
reverse for a long time in the south.
The blush of the furnace is fairer than the
iYown ot war; the smile of the well-paid
laborers more captivating than the hur
rahs of victorious armies?
Locally, we have just cause for pride nnd
gratulation, for sweet peace rules in every
nook of our blessed city. The wage-earner,
with passing good flense, sees and appre
ciates that capital is giving him all lie just
ly earns, and he is satisfied and happy.
Employers, with commendable liberality,
have anticipated the request, and volun
tarily put wages to the present satisfactory
point. Fanatics nor debauchees rule our
city government. Conflicts are unknown;
dividends are earned and paid, while the
cottage of the laborer is bedecked witli the
blooms of satisfaction. Neighbor and
friend may differ in polities and religion,
but in the common cause of the city’s pros
perity, we present a solid front—a united
people. To such a people, there always
comes due reward. Smiling plenty is ours,
and we are receiving it.
TIMKI.Y TRUNK.
‘‘A hird in the hand is worth two in the
bush," and a word of encouragement to
the living is of more profit than a column
obituary. What most people need is a lift
and not a kick. Words fitly spoken are
compared to “apples of gold in pictures of
silver.” They are pleasureable to those
who give and those who receive them.
Life’s burdens are often hard to bear, and
the weak-kneed and faint-hearted are easi
ly vanquished. A word of hopeful cheer
at the right time may do a world of good
to the many who are ready to give up be
fore the engagement is fairly commenced.
They say a pebble turns a stream and a
mighty river sometimes changes its course
from u seemingly slight impediment. A
word is a small thing, but the whole tenor
of n life may he and has been changed by
words. People generally are too reticent
o' the..- praise, it isdoled out seantilyand
grudgingly. There is a difference between
flattery and honest, well-earned praise.
The first is generally bestowed from self
ish or mercenary motives, while to secure
the latter is like the “pulling of an eye
tooth.” If the time and breath wasted in
idle and hurtful gossip were expended in
kind words to the dispirited and despair
ing, the result would be much happiness.
There can lie no objection to kind words
ot the dead. Whatever may be the foibles
and faults of the living, tile grave should
hide them, fiat the best time and place
for kind words is “while life prolongs its
precious light.” All right-thinking people
want their friends to think and speak well
ofthern. “Kind words never die.” Their
memory is like an asis in ;the desert, or ns
a pleasant dream, or some delightful epi
sodes of by-gone days. Who does not re
member tiie winning accents of some
well remembered voice which are even to
day repeated down the long telephone of
memory? Kind words strengthen the
hopes and nerves and give a new impetus
to failing energy. They cannot take the
place of acts hut they should accompany
them. Uood words cost but little and are
often invaluable. Don’t reserve them until
the man has “shuffled ofl his mortal coil,”
and is oblivious alike to censure and
praise.

Under the direction of tho general as
sembly of thiN state there was prepared in
1882 a mail of Georgia whicli was then nu-
tlicntic and reliable. To-day if one writes
to a map publisher for the best map of
Georgia one of those is sent to him. It is
interesting |in tiiis year of 1881) to ex
amine that map and then to supply upon
it with a pen the railroads that have been
constructed since it was issued. Then
there is food for reflection, study and con
gratulation. During these four years there
has been and are now under construction
tiie following railroads: The Georgia
Midland and Gulf, from Columbus to Air
Line railway; the Covington and Macon,
from Athens to Macon; tiie Augusta, San-
dersville and Gibson, from Augusta to Han-
dersvtlle; t he Home and Carrollton; the ex
tension ofColumbus and Home to Green
ville; tho Buena Vista rail
road; the Amoricus, Preston and
Lumpkin; tiie extension of Marietta
and North Georgia, from Canton to Fan
nin county; the Gainesville and Jefferson
railroad, from .Social Circle to Flowery
Branch; the Savannah, Dublin and Westr
era, tiie Dublin and Wrightsville, the
Tybee railroad, and Hart’s ltoad railroad,
from Jessup to Hart’s Hoad.
In tiie near future there can be added to
these tiie Macon and Florida railroad, run
ning due south from Macon; the Columbus
and Southern, from Columbus to Albany
or Florida; tho Augusta and Chattanooga,
via Gainesville, and the extension of the
Northeastern, from Tallulah Falls to
Knoxville. There is no dream about any
of these. Already tiie survey is in tiie field
to locate the road from Macon southward.
We violate no truth when we say as equal
ly sure is there a road in the near future
for Columbus to Florida, if we aid it
slightly, as we certainly will, and
tiie South Carolina railroad is hack of tiie
Augusta and Chattanooga, which, with its
already secured subscription, makes that
road a certainty.
Incidental to these lines may and most
probably will come the construction of
feeders, blit a careful examination of tiie
map of Georgia shows that these lines,
with possibly the only exception of a line
from Milieu to Jessup, will supply all the
needed main lines this state will want for
some years. They will permeate tiers of
counties without railroad facilities, bring
to market their timber and products and
carry to these counties new wealth, more
people arid greater comforts.
There are some significant facts con
nected with n study of this subject. First
of all is that all the present and contem
plated roads, with a reasonable chance
of materializing Boon, are eonnected
directly with none of the large existing
systems and nre just so far independent
creations. This suggests the further fact
that home people are back of them nnd
that much home money went into them.
Young men, native Georgians, are the
leading spirits in many of these new rail
roads. Williamson, of the Rome and Car-
rolton; Green, of the Covington and
Macon; Hawkins, of the Americus, Preston
and Lumpkin; Mitchell, of the Augusta,
Sandersvills and Gibson; Jordan, of the
Midland; and Poll, of the Dublin nnd
Western, are fair exponents of this genera
tion of active, restless, responsible Geor
gians. It is largely to their efforts, coupled
with their reputation and energy, that
has given Georgia these roads that are fast
adding to the wealth of the state.
It is another truth that no part of the
state is slighted in this railroad build
ing; all parts of the state are
getting a portion of the dis
tribution. While this is true, it is a fact
of considerable significance that Augusta,
Macon and Columbus lead in the new lines
obtained. With the completion of the Co
lumbus and Western, the Georgia Midland
and the Columbus and Southern, no city
in the south will stand ahead of ours iu
commanding position. Iu addition to her
other ronds and her valuable river, Colum
bus will he linked to the wonder of the
west, Kansas City, and Birmingham, the
prodigy, on the one hand;|connect with an
immense system on the north of us by the
Midland, and reaching southward we will
have the shortest, best line to Florida.
Capital is now seeking the south for invest
ment. With the keen perception always
characteristic of it, it flows strongest in
the direction of Georgia, the empire state.
A new railroad map has been, and is being
made by capital in our state.
The tax digests are on the increase, water
powers will bo controlled and improved.
Money will come here to give us more
banks and shops. People seek such a coun
try; we will grow in every essential ele
ment with renewed activity. This equable
climate, this generous vale, this wealth of
water power, our low taxes and progres
sive laws invite the people who have been
wearied and chilled with cold and are seek
ing remunerative investments, to come
among us—and they are coming, not an
archists and thieves, but the better people
from the states. It is these we want., and
it is these our new railroads will open in
viting fields to. When once her claims aro
examined into, Columbus never fails to se-
sure all those seeking a progressive city to

Never circulate evil repor ts about your neigh

have hastily misjudged. Under the blighli' g

feet into tiie air and thinks nothing of making u
