Tito use of injudicioua and untvise praise may occasionally be like the •Hstinpf of pearl before swine. But when lursons, young or old, are making honest efforts after success they should be cneour iged by the pluudit of “well done.” There are few In arts that cannot be touched by the proper use of kind speech. Don’t lamp your neighbors and friends witli faint praise, but give them a hearty Ood- -pued, and the result will be well for them and for you. 1'K.UK I’HOSPKUITV. 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. mTSSiaft life’s kindly acuities, Tin: it11i.until hat ok ckimkiia. 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 "A row lecontly died in Wisconsin firm chc ing tobacco." Bow end such a thing happen? Who heller herd of such a thing beef-ore. AcowdlefWm he» ing tobacco I Yes, in a horn. Never circulate evil repor ts about your neigh bor. At heurt he may be a good man, whom you have hastily misjudged. Under the blighli' g calumny of yonr tongue he may writhe like an .nsect in a Maine.' And besides, lie may catch you Oir from home some day and wallop you ami wipe the ground with your graceful Mgurc until you think sheol has "broke loose in Georgia." No, don't slander your neighbor unless you're sure he won’t hear about it. A young drunkard confesses crimes he Ins never committed; and nil old drunkard Is fond ol confessing crimes he could not commit if he would. Wine is a mocker. David hAToenETT, of New Carlisle, Ohio, says a snake nearly twelve feet long has its den in n stone pile near his farm gate. It can jump eight feet into tiie air and thinks nothing of making u running jump of twenty-four feet. It is t lie terror of the neighborhood. David, old fellow, you had better quit when you see things like that Take a little chloral ami go to bed and sleep it oil'. You'll feci better to-morrow.
