“Kind words cun never die ”
How bitterly does a mat! realise that
terrible tiuth when ho sees nil the
kindest wonts he ever suid in his
life glarin'' at him from his publish
] letters in a breach of promise
wait.
Said the wife of an < migrant, who
tmd moved from Georgia to Texas:
—*Jf Texas is so much better I Inin
Georgia, why is it tlist peopln in
'Georgia can make enough mo icy to
■wee to Texas, but can never make
:Moary enough to move back."
Rockdale county has a peculiar li
4|Uor law. In that county liquor is
wold by only one person. He is ap
pointed by the grand jury to sell for
medicinal purposes, and is not allow
ed to keep more than ten gallons ol
■spirits on hand at one time.
Here is a good sen, imeut captured
on the wing: Wheu it is deiuon
etrated that the Lord made the world
for your especial benefit, it will be
time for you to try to crowd other
people out. Until that time, you had
better be willing to give your neigh
bor a fair show.
The peace, the harmony, the pros,
parity, the general good of the peo
pla the permanency and perpetuity
f government, all, depend upon obe
dience to, and a strict enforement of,
the law by the people. Otherwise,
dietention, strife and lawlessness
which work the destruction and de
cay of governments, will assert sway
aver the people.—Forsyth Adveitiz
ar.
Persistant violation of a law gen
erally brings retribution, and, un
fortunately not alone upon the viola
ftera. There is no safety except in
|fee rigid enforcement of the laws
Thi declaration Ims been reiterated
stintless times, but it is none the
let* true, and all good citizens
•hould make it their business to see
that it is heeded. Those who de
fend punishment for anarchists
yhile they unconcernedly witness
|he triolation of law by less violent
people, stultify themselves and utter
ly fail in their duty.—Savannah
News.
A law has been passed in Arkansas
preventing fanners from mortgaging
unwanted crops. The American Cul
tivator thus comments upon the law :
The mortgaging of crops is a great
aril throughout the South, and while
it may seam rather arbitrary to in
terfere with men by law in the man
agement of their own affairs, those
•kb do not know better than to mort
,*• crops not planted sadly need
statte one to take care of them. The
■ fcnncr who cannot get what money
M needs without resorting to such
Mpedionts Lad better give up farm
until he lias earned money
•Dough working for someone else to
Ibminh him with needed capital.
“Tell mo not in mournful num
tort, that the town is full of gloom,
for the man’s a crank who slumbers
to these bursting days of boom. Life
ia real, life is earnest, and the grave
is not its goal ; every dollar that
thou turnest helps to make the old
lawn roll. But enjoyment, and not
•arrow, is our destined end of way ;
if you have no money, borrow—buy
a corner lot each day 1 Lives of
great men all remind us we can win
immortal fame ■, let us leave the
•bumps behind us, and we'll get
there just the same. In this world’s
broad field of battle, in the bivouac
of life, let us make the dry bones
rattle —buy a corner lot for wifo!
Let us, then, be up and doing, with
• heart for any fate ; still achieving,
•hill pursuing, booming early, boom
ing late."
The Georgia State Sunday-school
Association will hold its Fourteenth
Aunuul Session at Americas, Ga.,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
April 27th’ 28th and 29tb, 1887—
The Constitution of the Association
says: “The Association shall be
composed of one delegate from evtrv
three hundred members of Sunday
schools composing the County Asso
ciation, aud in counties where no As
eociation exibts two delegates forov
r fry represeutative to which the coun
ty is entitled in the General Assem
bly of the State.” In the counties
where no Association exists the dele
gates will be appointed by the Super
intendent and Secretary of the Dis
trict in which counties are located ;
and it is earnestly desired that in ah
eases the limit of lepreseutation bo
■trictly adhered to, and only these
actively engaged in the Sunday
ecbool work be sent as representa
tives. The officers of the Assuci -
lion, including all the District Su
perintendents and Secretaries as far
a practicao.e, will be expected to
attend us members of tire Conven
tion.
THE ONE IIORSF FARMER.
The one horse farmer lias a life
long nmbiiion to gain ui op that ion
for wearing a dirty shot.
He will iilailil the in igllbors by
getting up two l.ouis Ool'oie day.
limn set around ui.d m t go to work
until after sun rise.
He will rido mound a week look
ing for a hog'.
He will complain of lin'd times,
i hen tear Ins | ants c.imbing a fence
wlieie u gate ought to he.
He will pay three dollars for u
new bridle, then let the calf chew
.t to pieces before Sunday,
He w ill get all bis neighbors to
help in getting the cow not of the
bog, then let her die for want of at
tention. *
Stock will get in and destroy his
crop at n place in tins fence that he
has been putting off fixing for six
months.
He will strain his back lifting
something to show how si rung he is.
He will talk all day Sunday about
what he knows about fanning, then
ride around the neighbm hood Mon
day hunting seed potatoes.
He will go in his shirt sleeves on
a cold day, to show how much he
can stand, then return home at night
and occupy two thirds of the fire
place until bed time
He will ridicule the mechanism of
a cotton planter and then go out and
mash his thumb inning a boaid on
the fence.
He will go to town on Saturday
and come back with fifty cents worth
of coffee, a paper of pins, a dollars
worth of chewing tobacco and his
belly full of whisky.
He is economical; economy is his
forte. He will save ten cents worth
of axle grease and ruin the spindle
of a §7O wagon.
He wont subscribe for a newspa
per, but will borrow bis friend's and
forget to return it.
The Alhatiy News, in speaking of
the organization of trie Griffin Im
provement Company, says the peo
ple of that town “are nuising an in
fant on milk from the bottle of
promise, and laying the fluttering
unction of expectation to tlieir souls.”
“Judge not by appearances," is a
good adage. A faded tu- tv suit
may contain an editor or u preacher,
while the man weaittg the shiny
suit and the tail hat may be a de’in
quent subscriber of three years’
standing, and perhaps a debtor to
the washerwoman.
We haven’t, had our sav yet about
the tavern episode in Birmingham,
and we want to say it. Mr. Cowan
was right. John Site-man did all ho
could to defeat Mathews' for Regis,
ter of Deeds in Washington. He
ought not to be allowed to hit a nig
ger ou the head in Washington and
sit cd a white man’s sofa with him
in Birmingham.—Montgomery Ad
vertiser.
In some neighborhoods in the ru
ral districts, the country doctor with
his saddle bags, and general rustiei
tv, was considered an important per
sonage. But his occupations gone.
When a remedy is needed for coughs,
colds and di-eases of throat and
lungs the only cine for them Cous
sens’ Honey of Tar, is readily oh
tained, used, and permanent relief
secured.
Setting Eggs —We ere prepared
to furnish a limited number of poul
try raise:s with the purest and best
Brown Leghorn eggs, for hatching
purposes, at 75 cents for* 13. Our
chickens a r e of the finest and heal
thiest breeds known to the poultry
world. If you desire a setting of the
eggs leave your order at this office at
once. For the present no eggs will
he shipped by express. The Brown
Leghorn, full blood, slow to set, but
are continuous layers and very indus
trious as well ns long lived.
Good Results in Every Case.—D
A. Bnulfoid, wholesale paper dealer
of Chattanooga, Tenn., xviites that
he was seriously afflicted with a se
vere cold that settled on his longs :
had tried many remedies without
benefit. Being induced to try Dr.
King’s New Discovery for Consump
tion, did so anil was entirely cured
by use of a few bottles. Since which
time he has used it in his family for
all Coughs and Colds with best re
sults. This is the experience of
thousands whose live have been sav
ed by this Wonderful Discovery.—

on the eye halls, sub lues inflammation
