Matrimonial Alliances.
The lack of good sense and judgment
thftt many fathers and mothers display
in regard to the matrimonial alliances
of their children, amounts in very many
instances, to rauk idiocy. If the} wish
to ‘ break off a love affair,” they employ
the very agent for its inteusest promo
tion-opposition.
Infatuation, so often mistaken by
voting people for love, is a feeble-rooted
plant, that will die of itself in time, if
only let alone. Parental interference, of
n dogmatic kind, will very probably
drive its roots to a firm depth in the
soil of affection.
It is uuquestiopnbly one of the sever
est trials between the beginning and
end of life*to roar a child with great
care, aud then, at manhood or woman
hood, behold the labor worse than lost,
as it seems to the parents, it seems bit
terly ungrateful. A terriblo blindness
seems to have fallen like a pall upon
their child’s mental, moral and spiritual
vision.
Our attention has boon drawn to this
tropic by a number of social revelations,
not pleasant to hear, and which had
their origin in parental opposition.
Privato marrage are resorted to; scan
dalous arrangements entered upou; aud
often, what is still more sad aud de
plorable, the liveB of brave aud high
hearted lovers shadowed for life.
After the age of twenty-one, girls
who have beeu properlv educated, are
quite as apt to know what they desire
in a man for a husband, as their par
ents, and unreasonable opposition iB as
foolish ns it is unkind. When the spirit
of opposition leaps high in pareutul
hearts, it would be well to ask these
questions: Would marriage be the worst
thing that could happen? Is my opposi
tion fostering the best results? Is it my
ambittou, or my Child s happiness I am
seeking to promote? Has not my child
the same right of a choioe in a life com
panion that I had?
Another thing occurs at this point,
that we cannot well refrain from pro
testing against. It is the folly--and
nothing less than folly—that character
izes the conduct of far too many parents
in regard to their children, and especial
ly their daughters, who in some woak
moment, have behaved indiscreetly,
aud possibly shamefully. A ohild is a
ohild, and no act of a parent can make
it otherwise. Disinheritance, auger,
uukindness and abuse only aggravate
such matters, and what might have been
kept a private family sorrow, becomes a
publio scandal, bo crushing the helpless
victim that not even a whole life time
of remorse and repentance can succeed
in washing out the blot on her reputa
tion. Life is so short—human happiness,
at best, so poor aud small—is there any
thing to be gained by makiug a bad
matter worse, or a miserable fellow
creature still more wretched? Are truth
and virture so fair aud weak as to be
utterly’destroyed by the breath of a piti
ful error? Must Christ bo again crucified
to teach us the beauty of charity aud
forgiveness.
you lay it down. Has it induced you to
suspect that what you have bedu accus
tomed to think unlawful may, after all,
be innocent, aud that may be harmless
which you have hitherto beeu taught to
think dangerous? Has it tended to make
you dissatisfied and impatient under
the coutrol of others; and disposed yon
to relax in that self government, with
out which both the laws of Qod and
man tell ns there can be no 'virtue,
aud consequently no happiness? Has it
attempted to abate your admiration aud
revereuce for what iB great aud good,
and to dinush in you the love of your
country aud your fellow beiugB? Has it
addressed itself to your vanity, your
selfishness, or any other of your evil
projieusitieB? Has it defiled the imagin
ation with what is loathsom, or choled
the heart with what is monstrous? Has
it disturbed the souse of right and
wrong, which the Creator has implanted
in the humau eotri? If so—if you are
conscious of all or any of these effects
or if, having escaped from all, yon have
felt that such wore the effects it was
intended to produce, throw the book in

young men, though it be the gift of a
friend; young lady, away with the
whole set, though it should be the pro
minent furniture of a rosowood book
case. There never was gucli a rage for
book-reading as at the present time. It
is a commendable habit, only one can
not be too careful in the selection of
books.

(Last Week’s Letter.)
We are all glad to see Mr. George S.
Tucker able to be out again, after sev
eral days’ illness.
The Baptist Association at Friend
ship seems to be quite a success
Unusually large crowds attended sack
day from all parts of the district, and
if any went away hungry it was his own
fault, for the most sumptuous dinners
were served that one ever saw in the
country. There were probably two
thousand people there on Wednesday.
The meeting lasted from Tuesday
morning until Thursday afternoon.
The citizens of Deepstep were glad
to see our old friend. Judge Tulaiferro,
as well as llev. A. Chnmblee. Mr
Stacer and Editor Chapman, and sev
eral others from Sandersville, on their
way to and from the Association.
Miss Lizzie Rushsian is the guest of
her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. J.E.
Peeler, this week.
Mrs. Lula Newman and Mrs. Stacer
spent Monday night with Dr. nnd Mrs.
J. E. Peeler.
Numbers of delegates from all parts
of the district are passing to and fro
on our streets this week, hence Deep-
step seems rather full of life at pres
ent.
T. T. G. Linkous ha*' recently re
turned from his church at Erick, Ga.,
where he lias been called for another
year.
Our village is on a boom now. As
two very handsome houseware nearing
completion, and others to be started
soon. The house of Mr. Gascar Veal
will be especially a handsome one.
New trustees were elected for the
Deepstep Sshool last Wednerday in the
persons of Dr. J. E. Peeler, C. I’. Veal
and Jimmie Pittman. It would have
been difficult to have elected a better
board. All patrons should stand by
the trustees and teachers and endea
vor to make this one of tire best schools
in the county. T. T. G. Linkous lias
been chosen for principal and Mrs. An
nie Veal assistant. The school will
probably need another teacher after
the first month or two.
The patrons are subscribing more
liberally for completing the school
building than some had expected con
sidering the short crops. Lumber has
bsen purchased for ceiling the house.
Mr. I. W. Peeler’s horse threw him
one day last week and bruised him up
considerably, but he ie now able to go
out again.
Mr. Bill Avant was in Sandersville
last Monday on business.
Mrs. T. A. Wiggins was in Deepstep
one day last week.
All men in and around Deepstep who
can drive a nail are requested to have
their saws sharpened and their ham
mers ready for the “work-day” at the
school house which will probably be
next Monday or Tuesday.

k H, YES, there is a world of difference between one kind of a cure and
the Johnson cure. A whole world of difference between the feeble
cures made by sweet Fev,er remedies and the Jofenson cure. A world of
difference between the 30 days quinine cure and the 24 hour Johnson’s

TOW TAKE YOUR CHOICE. Use the thing that will cure in hours
instead of days. Use the thing that WILL CURE or the thing that
MIGHT CURE ? Use the thing that calls for weary days of wretched
heart-breaking watching by the side of a sick bed or the thing that means
back to work, back to play or back to lessons wjth coming of a new day?
U/ iii
T AKE YOUR CHOICE. That is the difference between every other Fq-
ver medicine we have ever seen or heard of and the incomparable and
matchless medicine which we make.
