Words amI ideas are characteristic of
mid peculiar to rational human beings,
and there is nothing by which one may
so quickly determine the “true inward
ness’’ of an individual. There are per
sons of ninny words and persons of few
Words, and here and there may he found
one of no words at all. Wordy people,
when once wound up, will run all titty
without greasing. They take the most
trivial subject fora text, and Imve been
known lo “spit out" a nonpareil column
on a doj; light or similarly insignificant
topic. Such people do imt geiieralh eon-
line themselves to one text, but scatter
worse than an old time shot
gun, and in their range strike
fore and aft. What they don’t
know is not worth knowing. If they
should be struck with a really valuable
idea they speedily smother it In a heap
of trashy vcrbngo or run it to death on
some impracticable trail. Such people I
are voted a bore and a nuisance every- j
where, and a listener begins involuntarily
to count up funeral expenses when the
battery of the inveterate talker is un
covered, and “talked to dentil” is gen
erally selected forjnn inscription on the
monument of the deceased. All com
munities are infested with people who
talk against time.
People who talk much do not I)ml time
to act, and they generally evaporate into
a sort of inferior gas, leaving the impres
sion upon their friends that their mission
in life was a failure, so far as the accom
plishment of any tiling good or useful was
concerned. Worth* people are “sized up"
in the old nursery rhyme:
•'Men of words and not of deeds
Are like ft garden full of weeds."
As to ideas, they are words of embryo
They may he expressed in words or nets,
or may prove to he mere abortions.
What are termed "notioimtc people"
probably have the most ideas, Imt like
the idle fantasies of the bruin, they cul
minate in nothing solid
If we use the percentage of the last de
ride for reproduction and the actual sta
tistics for immigrants, it is clear we have
now in litis country sixty-one million
souls. An increase of 10) millions since
1880, and what this army of consumers
means lo the industries of the country,
the present good times clearly point out.
Of this three nnd a half millions of im
migrants the south has obtained very
few. To give an idea, of the phenome
nal growtli of a city catching this nriny
of immigrants we cite that of Kansas
City. A city whose age is that yet of a
maiden, nr.d whose topographical posi
tion is not inviting.
In 1855, population 700
" 1877, “ 41,78(1
“ 188.0, “ 128,478
" 1858 her wealth was $1,802,000
1880 " “ '* $39,000,000
And yet we lmve seen the thermometer
10(1 degrees in tlicsliade continuously for
three days in Kansas City. We have
been there in the winter when we longed
for Arctic furs, for we needed them. Tin*
surface of the country in Ktunas City
originally hud no surface. It is by na
ture hills nnd holes, mainly hills. Co
lumbus will soon he connected directly
by rail with this prodigy of growth, and
from her we can learn some useful les
sons.
This day nnd hour is full of possibili
ties fortliesouth. We have an awakening
knowh dgc of our own wonderful resources
and power. The capital of the world is
seeking the many opportunities o/l'ered
here to increase itself. We should act in
this matter by bringing to our midst the
good people from otherstates ami abroad
to till our hroml acres and add to our
strength. The genial climate of this
state, if it were hut known to many who
almost freeze in the northwest, would
attract thousands of the best citizens of
the union. Our new railroads need a
greater population lo add to their local
receipts; it behooves them to invite im
migration here. More people means
more congressmen, greater dignity
in the state and a better
chance to enact such laws as
will not discriminate against our own in
dustries ami avocations. A city’s growth
gives her that position which commands
attention. Public buildings, free delivery,
government patronage and new railroads
and banks rarely come to either insignifi
cant cities or those which are slow of
growth. Benefits beget one another.
Heaven helps those who help them
selves. New-comers bring new ideas
and new dollars. Brains and gold rule
this sphere. It behooves a community
to have them both. We invite settlers
to come among us. I.et us do more than
that, and add to our rapidly increasing
attractions until they arc forced by self-
interest to actually come and send for
their neighbors and friends.
People who have made “footprints in
the sands of lime,” were not those of
man) it leas, hut a few which were
matured and developed into something
tangible. One idea well run out and
acted upon i.*- better than a thousand
which arc allowed to slip through the
mind as idle dreams. Schemers and
dreamers are numerous, hut they are not
tin* mi n and women who run the world
on a successful line. People who talk
least are apt to lie the ones who think
and art most. Specialities arc as good
for life as they are for trade. Those who
live and net to purpose are those who
carry nqt a single leading idea. Witness
the pi tel, the artist, the statesman, nnd
those w ho rise high in the professional
or mechanical walks of life. Words to
he valuable must he weighed: ideas to
eventuate in success should he diligently
pursued.
WASTED MOKE l’KOI'1,1.
We have always believed if the south

pilgrimages to the west instead of to the
northern states it would result in much
AXARCHY AMI THE ANARCHISTS.
The anarchists' trial is over, the blood
thirsty cowards have been found guipy
of murder, and the country breathes
freer. Hut litis circumstance, now that
or valuable, the bent of passion is all in the past, gives
ample scope for careful reflection.
I’liicago found itself face to face with
an insurrection of anarchists one day
when tin( one man in a thousand of the
peonli* of that city really believed in the
existence of the body that math* the in
surrection, and when neither the regular
police nor (lie ordinary civil authorities
looked upon the spiiutcrs of anarchy as
serious or dangerous persons. And one
good and natural reason for litis surprise
is that authority is practical and pro
vides only against evils that it ran tu -
(lerstand. it erects no barriers against
chimeras, and no rational mail in ibis
country could, in tlu* absence of such c\ i-
deuce as has been given, comprehend the
anarchist threat as anything hut a
chimera. Authority did not take ste,.s
against what, judged front the common-
sense views of our people, seemed only n
I visionary evil. The anarchical proposi
tion is tlu* total abolition of all organized
authority in the states, because till the
political and organic machinery of the
states is. through its costliness, a burden
upon the industry of the people, nnd in
principle of an nnurehiul society, which
is a division of the goods of those who
have among those who Imve not. But
the event in Chicago perhaps had to
come. Nobody could huve believed that
men would organize such murders for
such a purpose unless the fact that they
I did actually do so lmd come to pass.
Now that it is proved, now that there
| can 1 e no possible doubt of the point,
other cities will know how to deal with
all organizations for indiscriminate mur
der which call themselves anarchists.
A FAMILY OF FIVE SISTERS.
No other commonwealth in all this
union 1ms more cause to ho proud of her
daughters than the empire statu of Geor
gia. Herself one of the greatest and
grandest of all the stules, her daughters
Imve been reared and educated to imitate
the old mother in everything looking
toward enterprise and. the higlie.-t cul
mination of that which is good. Her live
eldest daughters are regarded as worthy
j examples for imitation by the younger
! children, and upon them rests a greater
responsibility than that of simply taking
J care of themselves. But these larger
i grown sisters arc in trouble, in trouble
I which appears to he serious, though we
hope will not prove fatal.
Sister Macon, tHo beauty and wit of
Georgia’s daughters, was badly spoiled in
raising. High spirited and impetuous,
slit* has fallen out with courts and magis
trates and become impatient tit the law’s
1 delays, and having executed one man on
; suspicion, threatens to turn over the
whole criminal law into tlie hands of
"one hundred of her best citizens.” Go
I slow, sister—go slow; better give Judge
Simmons and twelve jurors another
I chance. Mohs are nuitli easier organ
ized than controlled.
Then Sister Atlanta, who married rich
| a ml has been trying to outshine nil the
family with her line houses and fast
: horses, lias recently iiliected high moral
ideas, and has gone slightly wild over
prohibition. Now, prohibition is a good
thing; hut in her imperious way Atlanta
lias been pushing the liquor men to the
wall, and they are strikin^ hack, and
from flic doleful sounds that have
reached our ears it looks like somebody
has been hurt. We admire your pluck,
sister, and approve your morality, hut it
may lie that both of these has outrun
your prudence.
As for sister Augusta, staid, solid, in
dustrious old lady that she is, we knew
that she would never go wrong. And so
it is that those troublesome fellows, the
Knights of Labor, have gone among her
children and persuaded them that they
have been defrauded of their just earn
ings. This has caused them to strike,and
our industrious old sister is greatly dis
turbed. No hen over her chicken could
| be more anxious than she is to have this
j trouble end and all return to their work,
[hit Augusta is ivise, prudent and just,
and with such qualities we have conli-
I lidcnce that she will soon work mil her
own deliverance. She has our hearty
! sympathies and could get our aid. but -lie
don’t need that.
Sister Savannah, however, lias m;:-
prised us. With ail Iut dignity anti
high breeding, with her wealth am!
wisdom, her age ami experience. -lie
is the acknowledged head of the family.
And now that our aristocratic sister
should it; ■ - gone crazy over bn-t* hall is
astonishing, it does not become you,
sister Savannah, and we are mollified at
your (*111111111*1. You ought to have set
your younger sisters a hotter example
than this.
Hut they are all Georgia’s daughters
and sisters of Columbus, and though we
may laugh at their folly, yet we sympa
thize witii their distress.
Being the youngest and poorest of the
family, we have tried to conduct our-
j selves in such a milliner as not to bring
reproach on our mother and sisters, and
, whilst we do not claim tile right to re
built' them, yet we must say. sisters, that
j we are not mad and have no
i thought of giving you up or not speaking
to you, yet we do wish volt hadn’t acted so,
I and we four your zeal lias outrun your
discretion.

If, after reading these unanswerable arguments by the man that put the prises down and is
surely keeping them down now, you are reckless enough to pay even 10 per cent more for the pitiful
farce of eithe time or friendship, you invite the enfilading artillery from Cash Houses like ours.
The horror of doubt and the thrill of hope alternately triumph, and the ecstacy of heaven dies out
and the suffocating truth often forces itself up that we have said our last good-bye to those who
cannot struggle only by copying from our advertisements.
