A Paper for the People.
THE MORNING NEWS,
I T WOULD REQUIRE THE SOOrE OF QUITE A
* large volume to contain the good things that
are said about the Morning News by its contem
poraries of the Southern press. It is almost daily
referred to as “The best paper in the South,”
“the leading Georg.lt daily,” etc., and is gener
ally conceded to be in all respects a modern
Southern newspaper.
This is the fame that the Morning News covets,
and no pains will be spared hereafter to make it
still worthier of the confidence and patronage of
the people of Georgia and Florida. The ample
resources of the establishment will be devoted to
the improvement of the paper in respect to its
already large facilities for gathering the current
news of the and ay, and its staff of special corres
pondents has been reorganized with a view to
meeting every possible contingency that may
arise.
Although the Morning News has little or no
competition within the field of its circulation,
nevertheless no'effort will be considered too ex
pensive that give +lie earliest and freshed infor
mation to its readers. In this respect there will
be no relaxation of the endeavor to keep it far
ahead of its contemporaries.
The features that have rendered the paper so
popular will be maintained. The editorial de
partment will be conducted with the same digni
fied thoughtfulness, conservative vigor, and earn
est devotion to principal that have characterized
it. The racy reliability of the local, and the ac
curacy and completeness of the commercial de
partmerts, will lie kept up to the old standard,
and improvements will be made whatever they
are suggested by experience.
The Morning News is the only Savannah paper
that publishes the Associated Press dispatches
aud the Telegraphic Market Reports authorized
by the Commercial Bureau of New Y’ork City. In
addition to this, the Local Market reports will bo
full and reliable, and will enable businessmen of
Georgia and Florida to form estimates as accu
rate and as intelligent as if they were in the
city.
In a word, the Morning News will comprise
every feature that renders the modern newspaper
attractive, and its readers may confidently look
to its columns for tho latest information in regard
to everything of current interest, It will admit
of no rivalry in its own proper field, and will al
low no compeditor to outstrip it it. any depart
ment of journalistic enterprise.

No School Masters Wanted.
Some years ago some emigrants
from Ohio and Illinois settled in a
little town in this State, and soon
began to agitate for the erection of
a schoolhouse and the employment
of a teacher. A town meeting was
called to consider the proposition;
and one of the Notheners made a
very neat little speech, telling of the
blessings which education has
brought with it to Ohio and Illinois.
When he had set down an old man
in the corner arose, gave the custo
mary hitch to ois corduroys, pushed
back his hat a trifle and answered
thus: “Stranger up in yer Ohio
State you’ve got a big penitentiary
full of people; h’aint yer? Well you
’ve got lamin’ up thar! Up in yer
Illinois State you've got a big peni
tentiary full of people; you’ve got
lamin’ thar! But I’ve lived here for
thirty-seven years in peace and hap
piness. I’ve raised nine boys and
tew gals, and I sleep perflcldy sound
o’ night, ’cos I ain’t ’fraid any of my
boys’ll go to penitentiary for forgin’
notes, ’cos they can’t none of ’em
write!” (Sensation in the audience
and sympathy manifested) Another
of the new-comers then spoke, ar
guing in favor of education; and
then a tall, lank native stood up and
“flxii g the Notherner vdtli his glit
ering eye,” made his speech, “See
hear mister, ain’t you the machine
man?” “Yes,” said he; “I did sell
some machines hei’e last year.”
“Wa’ll when the wheat got ripe, all
the people went to neighbor John
son’s to see how yer movie machine
would operate. We got the tarnal
thing into the field, and neigbor
Johnson lie hitched his young filly
into the shafts. She allers was a
fractious critter, and the first thing
we knowed she gave a flounce and
caught neighbor Johnson’s boy
Bill’s leg and cut it clear orf! (Man
ifest sensation.) Then, mister, in
just about two weeks yer pardner
come around pedlin’ wooden legs,
and neighbor Johnson had to buy
one of then ’ere things. Nice eddi
cated people you are! You under
stand it, you do ! Fust you sell the
machine, and then yer pardner he
furnishes the wooden legs!” This
ended the matter,and no schoolmas
ter will be welcomed in that village
for some time to come. — San. An
tonia. Herald.
The Pancake Hero of the Re
bellion.
A correspondent of tlic Albany
Argus cites a good story from Burnt-
Hills, Saratoga county, concerning
one Thomas Murry. He says:—“lf
there is any man who crawls be
tween heaven and earth who can
cook pancakes better and faster than
Tom let him put up his money and
it will be covered. Tom baked pan
cakes for a whole army corps and
he did nothing else while there.
Your correspondent drove seven
miles in a rain storm to meet Tom,
who readily entered into ft conversa
tion with the writer. “Tom,” inquir
ed your correspondent, “if you bak
ed so many pancakes I don’t see
how you greased the griddle fast
enough.” “Why,” replied the cham
pion pancake baker, “you must
know I had a griddle thirty feet in
circumference, and I kept two dar
kies, with large pieces of pork strap
ped to the soles of their feet, skating
around on the griddle. Every time
we turned a cake we tossed it high
in the air, so as to open the pores of
the under side and make it tender.
I tell you the air was thick with
pancakes. I baked them so fast that
the boys wouldn’t eat the cold ones,
so we used them for breast-works
and once when a regiment of ‘rebs’
took our breast-works they procur
ed enough pancakes to feed them
for sixteen months, and that is all
they had, for thier rations had given
out two days before, and the smell
of the pancakes made them fight
like the devil to capture our breast
works.”
JSeS* Courier-Journal: There isn’t
a darky wearing out his existence
on the levee who is not afraid to go
forty feet from where he lives after
dark, on account of their being so
many doctors in the city. “No sah,
you ain’t gwiue to git dis nigga to
fool about town arter dark, kase
dem dactors is ‘bad medicine.’ You
be walkin’ ’long ’tendin’ to yo’ own
business, and fust ting you know
dey’s done got you. Dey cum from
de Xorf wliar nigga is skase, an’ de

insides out, and pin de bones toged

Trouble.
Trouble is the foe of a man’s
peace of mind. But half of our
troubles are imaginary, the creation
of our brains. Things that trouble
us are not as bad as they seem, and.
most of them are only mists, or a
passing cloud. We should treat
troubles as we would intruders into
our houses —put them out and lock
the doors against them. When men
are worn out by over-work, or are
sick, then trouble has the advan
tage. At such times, a man’s friends
should contrive means of diversion
or find out ways of rest. There is
no better relief for trouble than
travel and new scenes. When men
begin to feel that business and care
arc robbing them of sleep, and each
day increases the burden,
should put the will in exercise and
throw them oil' or put themselves in
the hands of their physician and
obey his directions. It is suicide
for them to go on after they begin
to feel the grinding action of work
on the body and brain, But precau
tion is in using means of preven
tion. Give a oortain number of
hours each day to active employ
ment, and never allow your work to
break over the bounds. Take a por
tion of your time for recreation.
Make real, solid enjoyment* of your
medicine. Above all interdict evei'-
ything that will tax, exoite or ex
haust the nervous system. Sleep,
“tired nature’s sweet restorer,balmy
sleep.” When trouble drives sleep
from the eyelids, and gloomy, de
pressed feelings possess the mind,
it is high time for a man to pause
and seek relief; for there is no tel
ling what such a condition will lead
to unless overcome. There is dan
ger in going on after the strain be
gins to tell on the health, for every
turn of the machinery brings the fi
nal crash nearer. There are events
that come, and are liable to come in
every man’s life, which he cannot
foresee, and over which he has no
control. But men should be like
mariners, who do not know wheth
er the winds w ill be fair or foul, but.
they go prepared for whatever may
come, be it calm or storm. Nor do
they give up the ship until she goes
down. Men should treat trouble in
this way, and never give up until
death enters and tells them the voy
age is ended.— Prov. Journal.
Py Shiminy! Ish Dot So 1
There is doubtless such a thing as
excessive promptness in emergen
cies. Presence of mind and deter
mination are admirable qualities in
themselves, but it sometimes hap.
pens that a decision made upon
the spur of the moment is regretted
upon a more deliberate survey of
the field. This remorse seems to
have overtaken a worthy Dutchman
of Anaka county, Minnesota. The
Dutchman was seeking to reach a
town at some distance from Sank
Centre, and to accomplish this ho
must drive over the prairie from the
latter town. He was unaccustomed
to the road and night overtook him
with his vehicle fast in a slough and
no town in sight. He sought the
solitary farm house visible and ask
ed permission to stay till morning,
the farmer telling the traveller,
however, that it would be necessary
for him to sleep with the children or
with the farmer himself, as their ac
commodations were limited. Quick
as lightning the Dutchman express
ed his resolution not to sleep with
the “bodderation sliiltren,” so he
slept with the farmer. The rest of
the story may be given in his own
language; “Yell, in dor mornin’, veil
we comes mit de stairs down, I see
two girls apout seventeen und nine
teen years old, und I ask dor old
man: ‘Pees dem girls die shiltren
you told me apout?’ und he say
‘yaw; dem ish mine only shiltren!’
und I say to myself, ‘Py shiminy ish
dot so ?’ ”
jjfey- The Brooklyn Argus has
been permitted to copy the follow
ing letter from a moral young wo
man: My dear Lucy —I think I
won’t come to Brooklyn this spring.
I understand there is something go
ing on there that had’t ought to.
Papa won’t let any papers come in
to the house, so I don’t know what
it is; but I see the parson at the
Postoffice every morning reading
his mail and laughing lit to kill
himself, and I think it must be
something awful wicked. Yours,
lovingly, Caroline.
BgL- “It is not our fault,” says a
Milwaukee editor, “that we are red
headed and small, and the next
time that one of those overgrown
rural roosters in a ball room reach
es down for our head and suggests
that some fellow has lost a rose bud
out of his button-hole, there will be
trouble.”
