If all who hate would love us,
And all our loves wi re true;
The sini's would swing above us
Would brighten n the blue-
If cruel words w re kisses,
Anri every scowl a snil'e,
A better world than this is
Wjuld hai'd! v he worth while.
If pluses would not tighten
To meet a brother’s need.
Ti e load we bear would lighten
Above the grave of need.
It those who whine would whistle
And those who languish laugh,
The rose won! rente the thistle,
The grain outrun the chaff;
If hearts were only jolly,
If grieving were forgot,
And tears and melancholy
Were things that now are not;
Then Inve would kneel to duty
Amt all the world would seem
A bridal bovver of beauty;
A dream within 1! dream.
If men would cease to wori'y
Ami women cease to sigh
And all be glad to bury
Whatever has to die;
If neighbor syake to neighbor,
As love demands of all,
The rust would eat the saber,
The spear stay on the wall;
Then eve dav would glisten,
And every eye would shine,
Aral God would pause to listen,
And life would be divine,
—J. N. Matthews, in Washington
Star.
Tile Man in the emergency.
No one knew where he came from.
He presented himself in front of
•he captain ot the Astor Ba’tery un
heralded, and asked to be enlisted.
The captain ran his eye over the
man, noted that he was six feet tall
straight, strong and manly That was
recommendation enough.
“Name?”
“James Dan< 1 Ison, sir.”
A few more questions and Donald
son or came a member ot the crack
organization.
The cai tain did not single him rut
tor special notice. He was simple
one of the three hundred fine speci
mens of manhood w.iO -were ready to
tii.-hf f r humanity. He was quiet,
unassuming, i -inmonplace.
It. vas after the splendid charge up
tire hiil outside of Manila that Don
aldson became a factor in the battery.
With heroism that will live, a har.d
ful of men followed their captain up
the road in the face of the murderous
Mausers that sang Ir • • Blockhouse
No. 20 At the pistol’s point they
chased the Spaniards from a position
that commanded the road cud practi
cally ended the day’s fighting.
But all that is history;
It was alter 'that th it Donaldson
figured. It was when it was found
af the heroic fifteen who made that
gallant charge but three escaped the
bullets. It was when from off the
road of victory they bore I ack the
heroes who had fought their last
tight.
The dead must be buried. The
authorities were swamped with great
numbers of v ctims in other regiments
so the 'captain decided to bury his
dead himself.
“Pardyn tne. captain,” said Donald
son, as he came to salate, “will you
allow to me to help bury the men?
I was undertaker for seven years ”
He proved it for he handled the
affair with a deft baud, even marking
the correct passages to be read at
that service which burns into raen’s
memories like a brand. The captain
was indebted to Donaldson and sajd
so.
It wis next day, or perhaps the next
t I tit- battery cook was perempto
rily “tired.” Appetites, however, rc
mained. A good cook in a camp is
more to be desired than gr*at riches,
so the captain was in a quandary.
“Bed pardon, sir.” stood at salute,
“will you let me try a hand at the
mess. I was a caterer for three
years.”
The captain seized upon the offer
gladly and stood over the new cook
as he went to work.
“lie’ll do,” was his mental com
ment, after watching Dona'dson deftly
handle the things edible. From then
!on Astor battery Jlived well. Every
thing was finely cooked and skillfully
served, and the captain tcek a second
look at this man Donaldson.
The lieutenant dropped his watch j

and swore and swore. A watch be

Donaldson heard him swear, and
wisely waited until he was through.
Then he offered to fix the watch, “I
was a jeweler’s assistant for a year
and half,” he explained.
He became the company' batber
(having woik and two years at the trade
he said); mended a, gun attachment
which had go ie awry. He was a
machinist for a year when he first
left home. Iu short, whenever there
wnsjanything to be done Donatdson
was on baud.
He handled the battery mail like an
expert, as he “had been a clerk iu the
' San Francisco postoffice for one ad
ministration ”
The captain was looking over a
batch of letters that had just come
He cane to one postmarked “Sun
Francisco.'’ He opeued it mechani
cally, for the ccr.espondence of an
officer in the field is a thing euoimous
"Donaldson!’ The call was sharp
and quick.
“Yes, sir.”
“Here’s a letter from the chief of
police, Donaldson, inclosing your pho
tograph and stating that you are want
ed in Sau Francisco for fixing 'a jury.
Jumped your bail, the letter says.”
“Yes, sir.” The captain was silent
for a moment.
“Sorry, Donaldson; very sorry
You’ve been invaluable to us here,
but I'll have to turn you over to the
authorities. I suppose you’ll have
to make up your mind to a term in
jail.”

A Letter From Mir. C. L. Gunnels
Dear Journal:
f have been thinking for some time
that 1 would write a few lines for nub
lication in your excellent columns, but
have deferred it ’til now. I am be
ginning to feel in touch with old
Banks again, since having become a
subscriber to the Banks County
Journal Reading \ our breezy news
items, and learning of the where*
bouts and doings of many of tnv old
friends, I feel brought nigh again to
the loved scenes of my native heath,
ami, as it were, hear the voices ot
those 1 esteem, speaking to tue. It
may be, Mr. Editor, that I am not
personally acquainted with the major
ity of your readers; hut g'lll, I feel
oio of them. They are citizens of
Banks county,
I have said above that I do hat feel
as remote as I did before 1 began to
read the Journal. I certainly do not
feel that 1 am in “foreign lands,” as
the visiting brother at New Salem
church once prayed for his lovad ones
la “foreign lands,” referring to his
family in Campbell county
In many respects Banks county' and
Cherokee county resemble each other.
Both have hillls. Both have some
excellent peeple, and both some sorry
people. Both have some people in
good circumstances, and both have
some very poor people Both have
wise and ignorant, handsome and
homely. All things considered, both
are good counties—a oag the best in
the state. Any one doing fairly well
in eitbe of these counties had better
remain there. Cherokee is rich in
mineral wealth; yet not all of our
mines are becoming extremely weal
thy. Two or three of the best gold
miaes in Georgia are bsing worked
here in Cherokee. The yearly out
put is quite gratifying to the owners.
Other industries, as the Marble works
at Canton, give valuable employment
to many workingmen.
Just obove here, in Pickens comity,
je the vast marble q : arr e?, the most
interesting sight in* Georgia. 1 hey
are worth coming all the way from
Banks county to see. They are more
over a source of immense wealth to
their,owners, —the Tates. You see
“Carter” would not perish, even if he
did not represent us in congress. But
lam digressing I must speak ot’
Cherokee. This counay has furnished
to Georgia some of her most able and
distinguished men. Our illustrations
Ex governor and ex U. S senator Jo
seph E. Brown, who lived here. His
noble brother, Judge Janies Brown,
lives here yet with his young wife and
little babe. He is one of our very
best and most wealthy citizens. He
is a very interesting character, for
height and homeiiness he has but few
superiors; for probity and nobilityi
none. Once seen, he is r ever forgot
ten. In conversation he is charming,
magnetic; in life pure and blameless.
His soil George Brown, who died
in 1897, was one of the finest speak
ers in the state, graceful fluent and
eloquent, he charmed his audiences
everywhere. At the time of his un
timely death he was solicitor general
of this judicial circuit
Canton is our county seat-, and is
one of the best towns of North Geor
gia, in every sense of the word. It
has a fine trade, and as sociable and
hospitable people as can be found. It
has a population of between a thou
san and twelve hundred.
Ball Ground, where I am now
teaching, is twelve miles above Can
ton, on the A. K &N. Railroad. It
is a picturesque mountain town with
about 300 inhabitants. We have an
excellent two-story brick school buil
ding, and the people seem to think
oce cf the best schools iu North Geor
tria. Of course 1 labor to keep them
thus deceived. With best wishes,
etc. C. L. Gunnels.

There s no waiting weeks and
months for relief while taking Dr
Drummonds Lighting Remedies for
Rheumatism. Some cases years
standing lieve been enterly cured
with one treatment. Relief and bene
fit are felt from the first, end if the
treatment is persisted in, the stiff
joints and drawn cords are restored
If your druggist has not got these
remedies do not take anytmng else.
Describe your case and send $5 to the
Drummond Medicine Cos., New Yoru.

large bottles will be sent to your ex

Alluded Children.
The world nns begun to tmdeisiand
that by skilled training many of those
whe are weak minded and almost
idiots can he developed into useful
members of society. They have dis
eases ot body or mind that will yield
to treatment lust like many cases < f
insanity. In many States public in-
I stituiions are demonstrating this truth
and for a small exp; rise comparative
ly are taking these young children
from lives of helplessness, useiessne-'s
and injury to the whole community
into at least lives of <rlf support and
innocence. A we - k minded boy or
girl now almost- invariably is led into
crime, sin and probably to become the
ancestors of a whole tribe of such
people.
The state cannot afford to allow
such a population to grow in her ben
ders, because of tiieir future trouble.
Also she owes to these defective chil
dren as to her insane, to save them to
useful citizenship. It is sticessfuliy
done in many states arid Georgia must
j sot behind. Our Orphan Hum - are

knowing full well that they cai only
drift to the ‘'Poor House” to scon be
