FORSYTH, MO
FLIRTING.
Many of the young people at the
j present time engage in this tiling we
j call flirting, and especially do the
J young men engage in this kind of
; deception. But young man where
is the credit and the honor you find
in it ? Can you, or are you prepared
to answer? Does it add to your
name the bright star of fame and
make you your country’s pride?
Docs it give you honors, and crown
you with greatness, and with the
praise of commendation ?
1 am of the opinion, and all true
hearted people will bear me out in
the assertion, that the man who de
liberately and boldly steals the affec
tions of a true and noble hearted
girl ; who makes her believo that he
is by his earnest appeals, and
by his constant attention, that she
is sharing full measure of his love,
is meaner than that man who socks
to rob his neighbor, his best friend,
at the dark hour of midnight. And
I will right here add that the princi
ple characterized in ono is not better
than the principle characterized in
the other. Why then young man
do u thing that will sweep sorrow
like ti tempest down over a heart of
truth and sincerity? Away with
these make believes. 1 mean these
pretty sweet silvery tongued flirt
orators. How mean to monopolize
the company, tne time and the atten
tion of a true young lady for months
without any intention of matrimony.
You absent her from society, forbid
her receiving the company of noble
and worthy young men, who would
crown her future-with joy and hap
piness. O yes! you make her be
lieve that you are perfection, and
that nothing but purity exist in } T our
heart. Young man will you think
over this subject earnestly and do as
your conscience directs? Do not
sorrow the heart of the innocent
I girl; let your heart be true to your
I self, and above all, true to the girl
whose love you sock to win. Jf
there is any thing that should be ap
preciated more than another it is
certainly a true and sr.Yeeke heart,
'and especially if it is possessed by a
noble and worthy young lady. On
the other hand of there is any thing
that is dishonorable and mean, it is
certainly the motive of that boy or
that man who woos the true affec
tions of some poor innocent girl,
without giving to her in return that
love she expects to share. Yes it is
mean in you to declare to her your
sincerity which proves in the end to
be false. The truth is not in your
heart and you know it; there is a
mean principle in there which you
dare not let be known, but x’ou will
not rest satisfied until she gives to
you that love which knows nothing
but to honor and to trust you. Yes
she often sits in silonce thinking of
you when all else is forgotten, she
wishes you well, and feels that your
interest is her interest, and hopes
with a greater interest that every
thing would conduce to your happi
noss, and that success would crown
you in whatever persuit you are en
gaged. She contemplates with pleas
ure her anticipated happy future ;
not a thought comes telling her that
you are false, and that a selfish mo
tive is in your heart. She gives to
you a precious heart, not a heart fil
led with deception, but a heart filled
with truth, love, sincerity, honor,
and nobility. Not only the mark of
sincerity which she wares upon her
face, many times betrays her love to
you, but her actions which speak
with greater power than language
can express, betrays her. But alas !
xvhen your heart shall have been
fully revealed to her. she finds that
it is falso and that the truth is not in
you; but it is too late, her fondest
hopes are blighted. She has allow
ed her affections to go beyond her
control, and she must now wait till
time heals it possible her broken
heart. llow sad must be that girl
whose affections tor months have
been bestowed upon that young man
who is so ungrateful and so untrue
as to make her heart a play thing,
and to mar her sweetest pleasures.
Young man in whatever pursuit you
may engage let your dealings with
woman be frank, siucere. noble and
kind. But instead of cheerishing iu
the bosom this noble principle, many
of you go to the innocent girl with
apparent truths, and seeing honesty
written upon your faces, love and
| affection in your coon tar. a nee.
, 'Words fall from your lips upon the
attentive ear which it is almost as
' impossible for her to doubt as it is to
: doubt your existence. But when the
l truth is known of you. your heart is
i black with deceit, Yes many of
| you are now engaged in flirting with
: >ome true hearted girl : and with
: some it is but a short time siucelliev
; have broken that poor girl's heart.
Not only has this been done in
Monroe county, but Pike furnishes
j one whose lamb like face is the piet
! are of innocence, but how sad to .-ay
sROE COUNTY, GEORGIA,
, that his and other faces do not al-
I ways tell the true story of tho heart,
i Young ladies let me right hero ask
you to take warning, and whatever
you do, do not deal with peddlers,
I tinckers and taylors.
Young man it you are engaged in
, flirting let me beg you to stop where
j you are, and ask for forgiveness ; for
j that poor girl to whom your pre
tended affections are being given
should not be made to mourn the af
fections which she has in vain given
you. She teds how true she is to
you, but she knows not your heart.
She is the best friend you have on
earth, and feels that tho same spirit
exist in your heart towards her. She
loves }"ou more than all the world
besides and cheerishes in her bosom
the hope of a long and happy life
with you, but you are her enemy;
you seek to mar her pleasure and to
destroy her happiness. Dishonesty
is in your heart, and your whole
motive is to accomplish that which is
ignoble and unworthy a true man.
Hope.
DON’T EAT TOO MUCH.
How One Halt of the People in the World
Kill Themselves.
A great many persons argue that
if they have a crave it proves that
what they crave would be beneficial
to them, and men who eat immoder
erntely will eooly tell you that they
eat to satisfy their hunger, while re
ally they are merely the victims ol’a
perverted or diseased taste —are m
fact the slaves to a habit. If the
tastes could be kept pure and under
graded it would bean efficient guide.
But how few men carry with them
to manhood the unvitiated tastes of
childhood ! Everywhere error seems
to prevail over truth and man mis
takes the craving unhealthy appo
tites for a God-implanted instinct.
A story is told of a farmer in Lon
isana who was seen cutting down his
fruit trees, and when questioned as
to the reason, answered that he did
it to keep his children from poison
ing thcmselve. lie said that his
doctor told him that his children
“had better keep from fruit and take
their morning drams and plenty of
quinine, with an occa
sional dose of calomel. ,T ~ 4ff_thj s in
stance, the faint fluttering of an Tp
petite, which was iu accordance with
nature’s healthful code, wero crushed
out, and a desire for unnatural drugs
implanted in their stead. We smiie
at such an exhibition of folly and ig
norance, but in spite of our vaunted
knowledge, many educated people
act as foolish* as did this poor Louisi
ana farmer.
Sir Henry Thompson, in the Nine
teenth Century, says that though,
with few exceptions, men and women
are healthier and stronger physical
ly intellectually and morrally, with
out alcholic drinks than with them,
yet he has been for some years past
compelled by facts which are con*
stantly coming before him. to accept
the conclusion that more mischief in
the form of actual diease, of impaired
vigor, and of shortened life accrues
to civilized men from erroneus hab
its in eating than from the habitual
use of alcbohololie drinks, consider
alde as be knows the evil of that to
be. He believes that more than one
half of the disease that embitters the
middle and latter half of life among
the middle and upper classes is due
to avoidable errors in diet.
The supject of diet and relation to
age and activity is discussed in an
excellent article in “Good Housekeep
ing” for August and the evils of ov
er-feeding ore forcibly presented, in
harmony with tlie views of Sir Hen
ry Thompson. The writer says :
“During the first year of life moth
er’s milk is the best form of food.
After that time other kinds of food,
mostly well cooked wheaten flour in,
various shapes, begin to bo added to
the milk, which long continues to be
the staple source of nourishment to
the young animal. Eggs, a still
more concentrated form of similar
food, follow, and ultimately the die
tary is enlarged by additions of va
rious kinds.
“A young man, in the fullness of
health, and habituated to daily ac
tive life in the open air. may, under
the stimulous of ap]>etite and enjo}-
ment in gratifying it, often largely
exceed both in quantity and variety
of food what is necessary to supply
all the demands of the system, with
out paying a very exorbitant price
for the indulgence. When a certain
amount had been stored up the ca
pacity for storage varying greatly in
different persons an undesirable
balance remains against the feeder,
and in younger people is mostly rec
tified by a "billions attack.” through
the agency of which a few hours of
vomiting and misery square the ac
count. Then the same process of
overfeeding rc-eommeuces nntil the
recurring attack again appears and
clears the system. On the other
hand if a man is inactive, takes lit
tle exercise, spends most of his time
in close, warm air, shaping his diet
nevertheless on a too liberal scheme,
the balance of unexpended nutri
ment soous tell more or less heavily
against him and must be offset in
some form or another.”
After the first form of life is passed
instead of by recurring attacks of
illness, the superfluous material
which is taken into the system is
stored in the form of fat on the ex
ternal surface of the body, or packed
among the internal organs, except in
some constitutions which are incapa
ble of storing fat. Meitner heart or
lungs can act very healthiy when
oppiesse 1 by this gathering fat, and
gout or rhumatism or some other
form of disease warns the inordinate
feeder that the time of reckoning has
come. If we would prescribe health
MORNING, SEPTEMB
when the irrepressible, radiant vigor
of youth has passed away it is ncces
-arv to see to it that our income of
food is proportionate to our expendi
ture of energy. Some men endeav
or t Keep the balance by dumb boll
exorcise, by athletic or pedestrian
fesu-T*r Turkish baths, or in some
otiie: way, but the time comes when
none of itese things can restore to
the syn.ua that strength which has
been , f -t rtaxed by overfeediug. As
age advances less nutriment is re
quire j. as the power to dispose of
nutri.ue: t diminises. Sir Henrv
Ton ninutains that the dentist
is an fit in maintaining tho man
of ad . ed age in his career as a
flesh The man whose iraper
het induce him to prefer light
er unYy.uUir foods during tho clos
ing period of his life preserves his
health .better than he whose artificial
inaehiiH; enables him to eat us much
solid tin.nl as he did in his vigorous
youth. *-
Nme out of ten persons who suf
fer fr i indigestion are not the sub
jects of: ny disease whatever, they
are only on the right road to disease.
If they would eat as they should—
that is, in moderation, their suffer
ing would cease. The light feeder
knows none of these annoyances.
His palate is sensitive to tho mildest
impression of pleasure, and lie is in
disposed to gross or ovorpowerful
ones. After the meal, when the in
ordinate feeder is heavy and sullen,
sunk in slumberous inactivity and
discomfort, the man of moderate ap
petite finds his whit fresher, his tem
per more cheerful; he is ready to
enjoy a fireside talk an J the gentle
friction of fireside fancies, and those
amenities of life which arc sealed
to the heavy feeder, reason
of the sluggishness and stupidi
ty wbiclfc-fhe brings upon him
self. K

FREE PASSES.
The press ol the state is speaking
out against the evil of free pass. The
following deliverance from the Ma
rietta Journal is ono of the best we
have seen :
The Georgia legislature on Mon
day consumed the’ day mostly in dis
cussing the “free pass" system. The
bill made ittunlawful for menliers of
the general assembly or judical offi
cers to receive or any railroad to
grant them free passes. The bill
was defeated bj* a vote of 24 to 75.
The members will continue to ride
on free passes and draw their mile
age fr<iiTr rlrri-Hrjffe treasury. This
free pass system ii asTjeerntlT tiggrir--
vating source*of delay iu transacting
the business of the legislature, caus
ing absenteeism to such an extent on
Saturday And Mondays that a quo
r.uiq ea dY hardly b<j£n.ti
is no Way to correct the abuse—the
legislators have the matter in their
power and they are going to use it.
This legislature has been a regular
farce in enacting or doing anything
in the interest of the tax. payers of
Georgia. Not a single bill or meas
ure so far has been passed that will
redound to the good, happiness or
prosperity of the people. The mem
bers of the malarial districts of lower
Georgia regard the Georgia legisla
ture as a great “summer resort” con
venience iu enabling them to recre
ate in North Georgia at the expense
of the tax payers, and consequently
the sessions, in place of biennial, are
made annual and prolonged through
the hot months until cool weather
enables them to return home to their
miasmatic regions. Free passes aid
them to a large extent to .spend their
Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays;
three days iu the week, at the differ
ent places of resort adjacent to At
lanta. Tne berlesque still coutnues,
fatiguing indignation.
“Dixie.”—The September number
of this new and elegant Southern
periodical will contain a sensational
article on the “Negro Question in the
South” by the Rev. R. W. Mem
rainger, of Charleston, S. C. He
touches up George W. Cable, gives
Bishop Dudley a rap over the knuck
les and refers to the recent troubles
over the negro in the Episcopal
Church of South Carolina, lie de
fines the past and present status of
tho negro and predicts what the fu
ture will be. This article will be
the literary sensation of tho month.
lion. Samuel J. Randall, of Penn
sylvania, contributes an able article
on the Tariff, to tho same numbei,
and Col. I. W. Avey concludes his
valuable papers on “The Natural
Resources of Georgia.” The second
paper on the “Forests of Dixie” by
Charles IT. Wells and Clement Ma
son's illustrated “Bits of Virginia
Scenery will be of treneral interest.
Paul Hamilton Hayne, “the Modern
Horace,” will give a poem which the
publishers present in fke-smile of the
author's handwritting, thus giving
each purchaser of Dixie a valuable
souvenir of “oar greatest Southern
poet.’ Chas. W. II übner contributes
an exquisite poem,“Warand Peace.”
Rev. Dr. I. S. Hopkins, President
of Emory College, writes very enter
tainingly upon the necessity of
technical training in connection wilh
higher education. Ills article will
be widely read. The second paper
in the series of sketches of Southern
Railway Rulers is by P. J. Moran, of
Atlanta, and gives an interesting ac
count of the life of Senator Joseph E.
Brown, President of the Western &
Atlantic Railroad. The usuai De
partments will be crisp and bright.
Copies of Dixie can be obtained from
any newsdealer or mat’ be ordered
direct from the publishers. The
price is twenty cents single number,
or a year. No sample copies
will be sent out free. Address The

SAM JONES IN MONTEAGLE.
Rev. Sum Jones, of Georgia, deliv
ered one of his characteristic ser
mons to a largo congregation at
Munteagle. last Sunday, tho follow
| ing is a synopsis of it:
He road for his text throe verses
, of the Hist. Paslin: “Trust in tho
Lord and do good. So shalt thou
dwell in the land and thou shalt be
fed. Denigh thyself in the Lord,
and Ho will give thee desire of thy
heart.’ If we notice theso promises
we shall see that each has such a con
dition. God says if you’ll do so and
so, L’ll do so and so. He does noth
ing we can do for ourselves.
I believe in a doing religion. I
have tailed to find a single instance
in tho Bible where anything is said
at tho final judgment of the blood
and the atonement. For I was an
hungered and ye gave mo meat,
naked and yo clothed mo.” Tho
promises are made to those who do
His holly will.
I would dislike for my children to
be continually coming to me and
saying, “Papa I love you.” Rather
would 1 tell them to so live that peo
ple would see iu them tho evidence
oi good raising. I’m sorry for the
man who has to say everytime he
goes into his homo. “Wife, 1 love
you.” God works for every man
just in proportion as he can get hold
ol his heart. I used to think lie had
to have all. A little leaven leavens
the whole lump.
Ive known a great many men
who have largo possessions, who
acted like they were not at home
down here. They were always
restless. A great mauy men believe
everything in the Bible and do noth
ing.
i have a poor opinion of Bob In
gersoll because he believes nothing;
but you convert him and lie will do
his whole duty. Ono man believes
in family praj*ers, but never prays.
Another says yes, ‘'yes, 1 believe in
foreign missions,” but never gives
anything. 1 like the man who
doesn’t say much. 1 go to him and
say, “do yoa believe in family pray
er?” He says, “go ask my wife;”
and I go to her and ask, “does your
husband believe in family prayer?”
She says, “well if he doesn’t, he is a
strange man to me, lor he holdefami
ly prayer daily.”
A great many Christians stand in
the attitude of saying to the Lord,
“Lord, let a blessing come !” They
are ready to receive anything and
everything. They are continually
jDi’ayt&g tor iTTore Hfcith &r.<i for more
grace. Why, they have been up to
their eyes in grace all their lives.
Tney want more faith. Do you
know the apostles prayed for an in
crease in iaith, and the Lord rebuk
es*! iLfuM for it saying: have
faith even as a mustard seed,” etc.
I heard a preacher say the other
day he was ashamed of himself, lie
said lie had slept in the snow out of
doors for Stonewall Jackson, but be
had never made anything like such
a sacrifice for the Lord. I despise
this wash tub faith, always bottom
side up, ready to catch the faith they
can get. If you want more fkilh
use what you’ve got. I’d as soon
pray for more muscle iu the right
arm. If 1 tie it up by* my side for
six months it won’t lift a pound, but
if 1 go and lift a heavy' sledge ham
mer and keep using it, it becomes
powerful. I’ve a sorter of contempt
for a fellow who is always whining
around the Lord asking Him to help
him believe the Bible. The Lord
says use what faith you have. We
don’t wan’t any more religion—l
don’t say Christianity, but religion.
We’ve got enough of one sort.
Trust in tho Lord and do good. Lit
tle things I have done have given
ine the greatest pleasure. Going
along the road I saw a poor old dar
key, and I stopped and put a half
dollar in her hand—didn’t throw 7 it
down in the road, and say, “there,
take it,” because she was nearly 7
blind, and it did my heart good to
hear her her say, “O, Lord, bless dat
man ; he must be de best man in de
world.” Only two things bother
me—Oh, God, ara I trusting Thee,
oh, God, am 1 doing my duty. There
isn’t much promise to any man who
says he believes a thing and doesn’t
do as he says he believes.
A man is getting in a dangerous
condition when he does wrong in the
day and then goes home and sleeps
soundly all night.”
I have spent days with men worth
a million dollars and more, and have
said to myself, I wouldn’t be in your
fix for a million dollars.
1 said to a banker tho other day,
“You must be very tired handling so
much money daily when you don’t
lovo it. It must be a great cross to
you.
“Oh,” said he, “I never had
enough religion not to lovo money.”
It I had a brother or sister who
had anything they liked hotter than
me, 1 would be ashamed of them.
I want to live in a world where
nobody is grabbing and grasping
every thing. A man said to me,
“Jones, I don’t believe in your agra
grian talk.” “Well.” said I, “if all
the money was divided out equally,
you rich fellows would have it all
back in twelve months.”
Some want to do a great deal for
the Lord's poor. Well, I would like
to do a little for the devil’s poor.
Let the Lord's poor go on to heaven
a little head of time. A man that
gets happy this side of doing good is
a poor stick. A man said to me,
“Jones, I have been trying to get a
blessing all this meeting, so I could
enjoy it.” 1 said to that fellow,
“you’ll never get it.” lie went
there to get a blessing just like any
oi l red nosed toper goes to a bar
room to get a drink to make him
feel good.
1 have received the greatest bles
sing doing good at a sacrifice of my
own feelings.
1 wish we bad Christly religion
enough to get up one day and just
NUMBER 34
do all the good wo could that oue day.
Mr. Joues said he didn’t want bis
audience to get offended at what he
said.
It may be that the reason I am
more account than you, is because I
will say things that you wou’t. 1
may say thiugs that will shock your
“eondignity” and urbanity.
\\ hen you see me coming with a
grdbbing-boe, if you “ain’t a grub
don’t move.
1 like a joyous, happy Christianity.
One mau told mo one thing about
Monteagle, everybody here is in a
good humor. A preacher who gets
up and says, “W-o-e is me, if 1
preach not tne gospel,” ain’t fit to
preach. I preach because 1 love it.
1 would rather preach tlmu eat sugar.
I don’t like levity in church. You
never heard mo say anything that
you laughed at that if you took it
home and cracked it you found a
hornet in it.

MAKING IT ATTRACTIVE.
Ornamentation of the Farm a Source of
Revenue in Dollars and Cents.
Philadelphia Press.
That ornament does not pay is a
common notion among farmers, and
it is a correct one if tho result is
measured by immediate return of
dollars and cents. If a man regards
an increase in the value of his real
estate as profit, howover, there are
few outlays which wtll bring such re
turns as judicious ornamenting. It
is fully as important to “put the best
side out” in transfers of real estate
as in transfers of horses or fruits.
Lmhellishment is worth more in ren
dering a farm attractive than is a
fine harness iu showing off a horse,
from the fact that tho embellishment
is part and pared of the farm itself.
Everyone lias observed the superior
readiness with which tastily orna
mented farms sell. The differences
in market value between such farms
and similar ones which posess no or
naments often amount to twenty-five
or oven fitly per cent of what may
be termed the intrinsic values. Even
if one never expocts to sell his farm,
judicious embellishment is a source of
profit as an advertisement of the
owner and his crops. Many of the
most successful fruit growers and
stockmen understand this fact. Ad
vertising is as profitable in farming
as in an} 7 other pursuits, and farmers
ought to know it. A beautiful place
at once attracks notice; people become
interested in it. Fruit from such a
place is usually more prized than
from shiftiesc farms. The idea that
the si in pie planting of treoe and
shrubs comprises tho whole of rural
embellishment is another common
fallacy 7 . The effective planting of
home abounds requires a higher art
than siffipTe good taste. 7 !JanTisc?ipe
gardening is as truly a fine art as in
painting or architecture. Few peo
ple have a genius for this work, and
it is not to be expected that every
farmer will lay out bis grounds in
the best taste. But he should realize
the fact that plan ting rdquirestbought
study, and he should know that and
haphazard planting trees in his door
yard is not necessarily ornamental
or useful. To give full instruction
on this art would be to write a treatise
on landscape art. It will suitice to
name some common errors.
Building too near the road is the
first and worst. There is too much
of a disposition to “save land” for
corn and potatoes. This economy
is oflcri short-sighted. It is like stor
ing the cobb and throwing away the
corn. A farm house cannot present
a good appearance unless it is four or
five rods or more back from the road.
Such a situation is also a matter of
great convenience in escaping dust,
and noise, and publicity.
The disposition to make every
thing straight is almost universal.
Straight walks and drives and
straight rows of trees are never seen
in nature, and they 7 are entirely out
of place in tho farmers yard. This
formal or geometric style, demands
close attention to all its details. Tho
walks, drives, lawns, trees and build
ings must always be in the most
perfect order. A neglected corner
or ill-shaped tree at once jars with
all its surroundings. In the natural
or informal stile, however, irregular
itiesoflen heighten the effect. Much
less labor and expense are required
to keep all its parts in harmony.
Why Farmers Fail.
They will not make compost.
They breed to and from scrubs.
They do not curry their horses.
They have no shelter for stock.
They put off greasing the wagon.
They are wedded to old methods.
They give no attention to details.
They have no method or system.
They see no good in anew thing.
They let their fowls roost in trees.
They weigh and measure stingily.
They leave their plow in the field.
They hang their harness in the
dust.
They take no pleasure in their
work.
They never use paint on the farm.
They prop tho barn door with a
rail.
They milk the cows late in the day.
They starve the calf and milk the
cow.
They think small things not im
portant.
They let their gates sag and fall
down.
They do not keep up with im
provements.
They don’t know the best is the
cheapest.
They do not read tho best books
and newspapers.
They think the buyer of a success
ful neighbor’s stock at good prices is
a fool, and the seller very “lucky.”
