No Excellence Without Labor.
The desire for excellence and for
excellent attainments is well-nigh
universal among men who have
not suffered themselves to full be
low the line of aspiration. Every
person, not devoid of Unit pride that
holds man above the level of the
brute, desires to excel. No matter
what may be a man's profession or
vocation in life, if ho does not pos
sess a desire to excel, he is to that
extent deficient in proper qualifica
tions for the race of life. In short,
wo believo man by nature is endow
ed with this desire and that its
strength or weakness is dependent
upon culture.
On this line many men make the
broad mistake that excellence may
!>o attained through other channels
than effort ; that money, social posi
tion, kindred ties and multifarious
friendships may and will push them
on to desired attainments. These
collaterals serve their part, but he,
who relies solely upon thorn, will
never excel in anything. It matteis
not what may be a man’s mental
ability or powers of mind to grapple
with questions of grave importance,
if he relies solely upon these, failure
will be his epitaph.
The biographies of the men of
past ages verify the truth of the
adage, than which no truer has been
uttered, that “there is no excellence
without labor.” To reach lifo’s at
tainments, to succeed at anything,
to excel, man must work ; be must
work physically; must work men
tally ; yea, he must labor. To reach
the grand heights possible in busi
ness or professional attainments, lie
must adopt as bis motto “Persever
ontia vincet omnia” and never
cease to hew precisoly to this lino
till the desired goal bo attained.
Doubts of ultimate success that rise
in the mind must be suppressed by
the spirit of energy ; hesitation that
causes delay must b§ promptly
crushed determined will,
aj)d—onward and upward way
opened up by continued effort.
The only legitimate way to suc
cess in any department of life is to
work ; and ho who does not, and will
not work, docs not deserve to suc
ceed. So if any of our readers are
hoping for or expecting to attain to
excellence in any business of life,
they must settle m their minds at
once to conform to that law wnieh
demands that they shall labor for it.
Tliero is no other channel, ho other
medium, no other way to excel ex
cept by labor. Then if you would
gratify that inherent dcsiro for ex
cellence that lurks within you, go to
work.
DEPENDENCE.
Taking current happenings and
the business inodes pcrsued by many
as a basis, one is led to conclude that
there is a growing spirit of depen
dence upon others, which weakens,
to a greater or less extent, the ener
gies of a people. This spirit is more
clearly observable in the growing
tendency among the people, to bor
row money with which to run their
business. Now it is an incontro
vertible truth that a borrowing man
is, to a greater or less extent, a de
pendent man ; that a borrowing peo
ple is a dependent people. This is
especially true if the borrowing is
done to meet the demands of actual
needs.
Furthermore the borrower be
comes more or less the servant of
the lender, and is therefore more or
loss dependent upon the will of the
lender; and this dependence is so
stealthy in its operations that the
borrower soon tinds himself so com
pletely in the grasp of the lender as
to become to some extent, a tool in
tiis hands.
’Tis useless to consume space in
framing an argument to support
this truth ; the evidences are glaring
and all about us. Hundreds ot
borrowers to-day have their home
steads, their all, in the anaconda
grasp of money lenders who are
making of them “hewers of wood
and drawers ot water.” Are not
these dependent, tor even their ten
ancy ot a home, upon the merciless
greed of those who virtually hold
them subservient to their will ?' How
can tins growing dependence be
stayed ? There is a remedy. Let
the borrower cease looking to his
fellow man tor help: cease borrow
ing trom another. Let every man
assert his true manhood, and culti
vate a self-reliance, looking to none
tor help save Him who blesses the

Velvetia for the Ladies Toilet.
Messrs. Editors: —The Monroe
Farmers Club, at its meeting on
Saturday last, agreed to offer the
following prizes, to-wit:
To the lady furnishing the club
for the fair, tbo largest and best
collection of garden seed, pantry
and dairy articles, fifteen dollars;
the second, do do, ten dollars, the
third do do, five dollars, and should
the club win the first or second pre
mium at the fair, then these prizes
to be twenty, fifteen and ten dollars
respectively.
The articles to he returned to the
contributor, sold if preferred, or paid
for if lost.
It was furthermore agreed, that
the ladies’ department (garden seed,
pantry, dairy) he, at the next meet
ing, divided into three, and a prize
of five dollars be offered the lady
furnishing the club the largest and
best display in each department.
You perceive, gentlemen, that we
mean business, and it will afford the
secretary much pleasure to corres
pond with any one desiring any in
formation that he may safely im
part. If the ladies will only interest
themselves, victory is assured and
the reputation of the county is safe.
The tide of immigration is undoubt
edly set towards middle Georgia,
and if we would have our town and
county receive their portion,advertise
them at the fair. Twenty persons
from as many different states en
quired of the writer during last fair,

of “town property,” of “schools,”
of “churches,” of “labor,” “density of
population,” &c., of our county.
llow car. we better attract settlers
than by displaying our products at
the fair? In compliance, then, with
the wishes and instructions of the
club this is written to urge upon ev
ery lover of the county the necessity
of co-operating with us.
If you do not see fit to pay a dol
lar and become a member, visit us
occasionally, anyhow, and encourage
with counsel and good news from
your section, it will be too late to
begin in October. We meet the
first Saturday in every month and
will cordially welcome any one that
intends to help us in any manner.
It would cheer us to receive an
encouraging letter from you, espe
cially from some big-soul, plucky
housewife who intends to aid us.

After an hour or two of pleasant con

pleasure of pulling the candy. Then,
indeed, a pleasant surprise awaited

of refreshments were served them.
The party left expressing sincere

Chipman’s Pills for Indigestion.
Mr. D. J. Proctor has purchased
from Mr. I. C. Plant, president of
First national bank, of Macon, Ga.,
the fine thorough bred stallion,
Hamiltonian Knox, formerly owned
by Messrs. Nisbet and Plant. He
was bred by John H. May, of August
ta, Maine.
He wassired by “MembrinoKnox,”
he by “Whalebone Knox,” he by
“General Knox,” he by “Vermont
Hero,” he by Sherman “Blackhawk.”
The dam of “Hamiltonian Knox”
was by “Rysdyk’s Hamiltonian,”
the sire of “Dexter” 2.17 and thirty
eight, other 2.80 horses.
You will see from this pedigree
that he is a thorough bred. He is a
beautiful horse, Is kind and works
gentle, and is noted for his splendid
style and speed. Mr. Proctor will
stand himjat his stable, commencing
March Ist. His rates are $15.00 for
the season, and $22.50 for a guarantee.
A Half Million.
We are informed that captalists
controling a half million or more
dollars contemplate beginning a
banking business in Forsyth at an
early day. When this programme
is put in operation, the cry or de
mand for more banking facilities in
our town will be gratified to that
extent. Let these bankers come ;
they may make the town, if not the
people, richer.
Nothing but the very best mate
rial used in the manufacture of bug
gies, carriages and wagons by
W. H. Ashworth.
Chipman’s Pills are the best.
In an interview, and speaking of
the probability of war in Europe
General Wolseley said :
“Simply expressing my own per
sonal opinion, I should say 1 feel
sure that a vast and appaling war
is a certainty in the future. But
this, indeed, everybody may be said
to know. The rapidly increasing
armaments, the huge burdens which
several of the powers are laying
upon themselves, and the directions
in which the armaments are being
developed and massed make war
inevitable. But whether it will be
this summer or next there is only
one man in Europe that knows—
that is Bismarck.”
Take Chipman’s Pills for dizziness.
