A Paper lor the People.
THE MORNING NEWS.
IT WOULD REQUIRE THE SCOPE 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 Georgia 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 the earliest and freshest infor
mation to its readers. In this respect there will
be no relaxation of the endeavor to keep it far
ahead of its contemporaries.
1 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 devofipn to principal tlyat havo characterized
it. The racy reliability of the local, and the ac
curacy and completeness .'pi tile commercial de
partments, will .be kept up to the old standard,
and improvements will he made whatever they
are suggested by experience.
The Morning News is the only Savannah paper
that publishes the Associated Press dispatc hos
and the Telegraphic Market Reports autnorized
by llie Commercial Bureau of New York City. In
addition to this, the Loral Market reports will be
full and reliable, aud will enable business men of
Georgia and Florida to form estimates as aeeu
rate and as intelligent as if they were in the
city.
In a word, the Morning News wlB comprise
every feature that renders the modern newspaper
attractive, and itr readers may confidently look
to its columns for the 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 eompeditor to outstrip it in any depart
ment of journalistic enterprise,

Story of a Lightning-Rod
Peddler.
He drove his team close up to the
fence, got down and tapped on the
door. The widow Gilkens opened
it, when he said: “Mrs. Gilkens, I
am cognizant of the circumstances
by which you are at present sur
rounded, left, as you are to trudge
down the journey of life through a
cold and heartless world—no longer
sustained and encouraged by the
nobler one to whom you gave the
treasures of your heart’s affection,
and bowed down by the manifold
cares and responsibilities incidental
to the retiring Of eight small chil
dren on forty acres of sub-carbonif
erous lime-stone land, yet, Mrs
Gilkens, you are aware that the sea
son is how approaching when dark,
dismal, dangerous clouds at frev
Queiit intervals span the canopy of
heaven, and \ynen zigzag streaks of
electricity dart promiscuously hith
er and thither, rendering the habi
tation unsafe for yoursell' and those
dear little ones; heiVce, therefore, let
mo sell you a copper wire, silver
tipped and highly magnetic light
ning rod.”
The woman staggered back a few
paces and yelled: “Narcis, unfasten
old Cronch!” In another instant, a
savage bulldog came darting around
the corner of the house, with bristles
up, thirsting for gore. The dog had
already mangled a machine agent
and patent soap man, and was held
in great esteem by the better class
of citizens for his courage and serv
ice; but when his eye met the hard,
penetrating gaze of Mr. Parsons,
his chops fell, and ho slunk off and
hid in the currant bushes. Then the
man said: “My dear lady, you seem
to be a little excited. Now if you will
allow mo to explain the probable in
estimable— 1
“Dern ye, I know something that
will stat ye,” said Mrs. Gilkens, as
she reached under some bed-cloth
ing and brought fourth a horse pis
tol; but, owing to the shattered con
dition of her nerves, her aim was
unsteady, and the charge of buck
shot missed, save where a few scat
tered ones struck his cheek and
bounced off. A hard, metulic smile
spread over his countenance as he
leaned llis shoulder against the
door-frame, and again commenced;
“My dear madame, such spasmodic
manifestations of your disinclina
tion to make a judicious investment
of a few paltry dollars—”
“Hi—ho!” shrieked the widow,
and collapsed into a kind of jerking
swoon, and before she recovered, a
highly magnetic lightning-rod de.c
orated her humble domicile, and
Parsons had the blank note already
filled out ready for her signature.—

Look Going.
If you intend to marry, if you
think your happiness will be increas
ed and your interest advanced by
matrimony,Vje sure and “look where
you’re going.’ Join yourself in union
with no woman who is selfish, for
she will sacrifice you; with no one
who is fickle., .for she will become
estranged; have naught to do with a
proud one, for she will ruin you.
Leave a coquette to the fools who
flutter around her; let her own fire
side! accommodate a scold; and flee
from a w oman who loves a scandle
as you would flee from the evil one.
“Look where you’re going” will sum
it all up.
Ydung ladies, when you are sur
rounded by dashing men, when, the
tones of love and the words of com
pliment float out together, when you
are excited by the movement of the
whirling waltz or melted by the ten
derness of the mellow music, arrest
yourself in that rosy atmosphere of
delight, and “Look where you’re
going- <>(
Ui-rights. —These are men who
take newspapers, pay for them, and
read them. Observe the order in
which those things are done; the
pay comes first the reading next.
These men consider they get the
worth of their money in the bargain.
It seems as fair and just to them that
the newspaper should be paid for as
a barrel of sugar or anew coat.
They never entertain any other opin
ion. When the year ruus out, or
a little before, they are on hand
with the pay. There iS no more
difficulty with them in remembering
this period, than Sunday or the first
of January. If one of them w ishes
to stop his paper, he either calls or
writes a letter by his postmaster,

A Stage Driver’s Darling.
G. S. Cathers is a stage driver in
Colorado. A bright little girl of six
summers lives with him and calls
him father. The old man and little
girl have an extraordinary affection
for each other. When they are to
gether they are happy as angles;
when separated they live in the
prospect of meeting, and when they
meet they behave like children of
the same age. Their mutual idoli
zation is well known in Denver,
where their homo is. About two
years ago an officer of the law ap
peared, in Denver with a requisition
from the,Governor of Pennsylvania
for the arrest and delivery of old
man Cathers on the of ab
duction. Cathers’ friends were so
well convinced of his honesty that
they warned him of the presence of
the officer, and aided in hiding both
the old man and child until the offi
cer had departed. Then Cathers
explained that he was not the girl’s
father, but her uncle, and gave a
short family history. It was hio
dead sister’s child, whom he was
treating as, his own, and better if
possible. When his sister was dy
ing she gave the little one to him,
and he promised to live for the child
and guard her as his own. When
his sister’s husband married again
her father wanted to take her away,
from her uncle, but he fled with his
little treasure to the far West. He
stopped at Denver and became a,
stage driver, and his love for his
niece became tenfold. When an of
ficer came armed with State weapons
to wrest his darling from him, Cath
ers and his babe hid until the dang
er was past. Lately another officer
came with a requisition from Penn
sylvania and sued out a warrant for!
Cathers’ arrest. The sheriff refused
to serve it, and the
went home empty-handed. Penn
sylvania will have to go without that
little girl while there are mountain
caves in the West. — St. Louis Itepub ■*

A Word to Husbands.
Has anybody ever written upon
the responsibility which rests upon
a husband with regard to the educa
tion of his wife? Of bourse we know
what you will say about her being
supposed to have “finished her edu
cation” before marraige,and all that;
and yet you and we know that she
begins as new an education with
him as if she had never seen the
alphabet. His views, feelings and
ideas, are they nothing to her, if
she loves him ? Years after when
they,who “knew her as a girl,’’{come
to talk with her as a matron, do
they not find her husband reflected
in every sentence, either for good or
evil ? Of course, the more strongly
a woman loves, the more completely
is her own identity absorbed in her
husband’s. This is a point which is
too much neglected by married men;
A good husband is almost certain
to have a good wife; and if she be
“not so good as he could wish” at
the commencement of their married
life, he can soon educate her tip to
the proper mark. And, on the oth
er hand, he can so educate her down
as to render his house a purgatory,
and perhaps,, bring upon himself
and his own family the greatest
agony and keenest pangs of disgrace
which a husband or children can
feel.
Getting Ready to bo Happy.
This, is exactly what most of uq.
are doing. We are not ready to be
happy to day, this year, but to-mor
row, next month, another year: our
cup of joy will be full. When the
promised time comes and the acme
of our hopes, in a certain direction,"
is reached, hoalth may be wanting,
friends dead, and life, however full
of all we thought would make it rich,
and worth the having, be empty
and dreary. But he who “takes the
best now and here/’ enjoys it, puts
himself in possession of that which
cannot be taken away. Certainly it
is right to provide for the rainy day,
in health to prepare for sickness, id
youth to lay up for old age, but there
is much more time than many of us
think, while doing this, to be hap
py in the present, and there are &
thousand paths to happiness if we
but have the will and desire to find
them.
Wc are too eager in the pursuit
of some far off result to take time
to be happy to-day. How often do
w r e look back on years that have
fled and see many elements, which
at the time w r e took no notice of
and which, could we count them in
now, would fill on* cup of joy to
overflowing. Shall we learn a lesson
from this?
