thoughts or studies. While some
articles will be original, others will
be offered as the product of wiser
minds and hearts than mine.
Unfortunately, no doubt, many
of your readers have taken no ser
ious thought as to the future—
thoughtless and careless, who sel
dom attend church or hear in
structions, and needing “ line upon
line, precept upon precept,” would
not, in. reading the Citizen, pass
over a religious article without
reading it. It is true the con
templated service would cost me
some time and* labor, yet if only
one should hear and accept advice
in the same honesty that it is
given, I will have a gracious com
pensation for my solicitude.

Bob Baker is a trump every day
in the week. Last Friday, jesting
ly, he aske.d one of Thornton
avenue’s most stylish visitors if
she would like to take a buggy
ride in a wheel barrow. The fair
lassie replied in the affirmative.
At 10 o’clock next morning Bob
made his appearance at the ap
pointed place. He was rolling an
Irishman’s carriage, and in the
bottom was a buffalo robe. He
rolled his wheel barrow up to the
hitching post and commenced to
hollow like the house was afire.
The young lady came tripping
down the walk, took her seat in
the special and Bob proceeded to
roll the young lady down the
street. Everybody laughed fit to
kill, aud so did Bob until he
reached a long hill, and then the
smile was behind his ear and he
looked like that kind of fun made
him tirecl. The return trip was
finished and Bob Baker has been
nursing a sore arm and reading up
on Shakespeare where Kfog Rich
ard III offered his kingdom for a
horse.

pass through Dalton, if it is built,

an Augusta paper said: “ Mr.
Richards seems to have everything
as he wants it in New York, The
people of Georgia are sure to see
the road from Athens to Augusta
built, aud the Tennessee, Georgia

There will be important develop

to express here my convictions
that he will make a success of the
big project which he has in hand,”
