Forttiuutu or Unfortunate.
Gov, Brown, President of the Western
Si Atlantic Railroad, is certainly “fortu-
uutu," as we .heard & man remard some
days since, iu effecting a combination
with the Louisville >V Nashville Uuil
Road and the Central Railroad, of Geor
gia, by which ho will have for the W. &
A. Railroad the benefit of carrying the
Western through freights from Cliutta-
uoogn to Atlanta.
But why say lortunute? '1 his couibi*
nation was not an accident—a happen so.
It is a result of loug coutiuued and per
sistent effort <»n the part of Ex-Governor
Browu and his company. Any man may
he fortunate in the same sense in which
ex-Governor Brown is fortunate—any
one nmy have success if they work in
telligently and persistently for it. This
is the reason why so many men are uu-
fortuuate, viz : They set down and wait
for something to happen—to take place
—that will throw fortune in their way.
If you would be fortunate work for it
every day aud nigit. Give room by
stiiring around for something to happen.
Stinginess never made any man rich or
happy. Industry, economy and liberality
arc the springs of fortune. Touch them
freely, and riches and happiness flow as
8ii rely and freely as soqnds from a well
strung instrument when the keys are
sprung by a skillfull musician. ♦ * *
We lean from the papers, and you
know how reliable they are, that from
apme canse the combination above refer-
ed to will not go into operation —proba
bly not.
