His ic t Work.
It.is very common for young men,
I think, to determine the quality of
their work by the price they are paid
| for it. “I only get,” says such a one
“five dollars a week, and I am sure
that lam giving five dollars worth of
service; If my employer wants better,
lot him give better wages.”
This is specious reasoning, but it is
false; and it is destructive to the best,
work, and therefore to the best man
hood. No man can afford to do any
tiling less well than his best. He who
always strives to do his best work, in
the very process of striving, will grow
belter ami better. Not orily will be
continue to grow more skillful in that
particular workmanship; buthe will
he better equipped for other work
manship. 'ibis an absolute universal
law: it is the absolutely universal
road ’o promotion.
. The man who is careful to give
nothing more than lie gets, rarely gets
more than he gives. Thj man who
works for his own sake, who puts the
best part of himself into every blow
th.r lies: likes, who mixes all his
voik with his brain and conscience,
■ho studies to ren ler the largest
possible service, regardless of the
compensation with it brings, will find
his way on and up.—Exchange:
An exchange says that alcohol will
r tove grass stains from Mummer
clothes, aue adds that it will also te
move the summer clothes, and also the
spring and autumn and winter clothes

ibut alsr from his wife and family. It
will likewise remove tho household
furniture from the house, the eatables
from the pantry, and the smiles from
the face of Ins wife, and the happiness

Letter From Mrs. Doiougli.

Di-ah Journal: —
Ft has been a long time since I wrote
any thing in the Journal, in fact, it
was when 15ro. Hames was its editor
and it was “The Bunks County Ga
zette”. ♦
Away off down here in South-west
Georgia, in the “Magic City of the
Whispering Pines, The Journal is a
welcome visiter, bringing us messages
from friends we knew and loved when
we, ic*>. were residents ot your little
village, nestled down among the oaks.
We are gla i to note the improve
ments in The Journal since Mr. C. A
Meeks has it in ehaigo. We left our
little home in Roystoii last November
and came down here for the winter,
Cordelu has l>ee rightly namod
the “Magic City of the Pines.”
A lit t o .over ten years ago this
country was an undeveloped wilder
ness. Thousands ! of acres in pine
trees and only a fow rude cabins.
The inhabitants are ignorant and
uncultivated But soon * two great
rail roads intersected at this place, the
Georgia and Alabama, running from
Montgomery to Savannah ,< he Geor
gia, Florida, and Western fram Atlm
ta to Jacksonville, Fla.; also the Alba
ny Northern from Albany, Ga., to this
place. The wonderful growth of the
place seems like a fairy tale. To-day
it is a beautiful little city of several
thousand inhabitants with an electric
Tights, and water works plants, staam
laundries and everything that goes t,o
make up the modern up-to date city
The people are wide awake and pro
gressive, and the future of the place
seems assured. There are four hand
some churches here, opera house,
large hotels and fine school building.
The saw mills here do a lug busi
ness Some of the latgest plants em
ploy several hundred hands and lum
ber is shipped from here through the
lumber broke s to Northern markets
and some of it to Eui-odc.
Some et the farmers who owned
land that was thought worthless have
realized fortunes by selling the timber
from the laud. Then the turpentine
business has been immense. They
have the turpentine stills till over the
country, and as soon as the turpentine
is extracted from the trees then the
saw mills saw them up into lumber,
l.nrge quantities of fruit and mel
lops are shipped from here to North
ern markets and a large sum is real -
ized from thorn.
The cold winter has been a great
loss to fruit-growcis. My son says,
when some of tlio large orchards are
full of tlio large luscious El Berta
Peaches it is a beautiful sight.
They have no stock law here, and
the cows keep fat during the summer
months on wire grass, and require
little care. They plant fields in pea
nuts and turn their hogs into them in
the fall, andthey surely do have “hog
ami haniiny,” for J (most of the
farmers kid from twenty-five to one
hundred large hogs, and I have never
seen liner popnloes than grow here,
we still have them fresh and nice, that
we buy from the country wagons.
They make large quantities of sugar
cane syrup from the Ribbon cane
] am told they do trot plant the
seed as we do, the sorgurn at home,
but put the stalks awav and then lay
them in the furrov/a and they sprout
from the joints The yonng people
have in the fall what they cad “Cane
Che wings” and enjoy them as much
as the Banks county boys and girls
enjoy the old fashioned “candy pull
ings”. Large quantities ot the cane
are sold here and both old and yeung
seem to like it, besides they say it is
very healthy
The climate is delightful during
the winter but in summer there is al
ways malaria; and they say mosquitos
black gnats aid wiggle tails abound.
The water is not good though. Ar
t rsian wells ate used a great deal.

The Pine forests are fine for any
one who fias lung trouble. When
Glenn came here, last fall, several
physicians had decided that he had
Consumption, and he thought he
would abandon law for a time, nnc
come down here and travel among
the pines. He has spant most of his
travel among the saw nd’ls and tur
pentine stills, collecting for a firm
here, and in three months has gained
twenty five pounds. He says wtnle
the towns here are tar in advance of
Northeast Georgia, the country is a
bout a hundred years behind in edu
cation aud culture. Some of his rich
experiences among the country people
is eliual la some of Longstrcet’s vivid
pictures in “Georgia Scenes”.
But while so many are coming to
South west Georgia, and predicting a
great future for this country, still I
think North east Georgia the garden
spot of our state. I love her old red
hills, pure cold water and noble, gen
erous hearted people; and home and
the many friends 1 left in Royston.

“I noticed a cctiple of reminiscences
as to my old branch of service," said
an ex-naval official to the writer,
“which reminded me of an incident in
my own career, I was an en
gineer on r. cruiser bound from Norfolk
to South American ports, and our ship
was telling off 14 or 15 knots an hour
one day, when a crank pin came out,
and the next insta.nt the crank was
thrashing around in a most reckless!}
unsystematic fashion. Everybody in tht>
engine room —and there were some men
c ri considerable rank there just then, aa
it happened—made a dash for the deck.
Meanwhile I quu tly took four or five
stops and shut off the steam. Of course
the engines stopped, and then followed
the delay caused by making the neces
sary repairs.
“It didn’t occur to me that I had per
formed any act of an especial character
intil the chief engineer informed me
ffiafc I was a confounded fool. ‘Don’t
you know your place under such cir
cumstances, sir?’ he asked, and when I
answered that I thought I had taken
my proper position ho continued: “No,
vir; your duty was to make your way
as soon as possible to the deck. With
that piece of steel whirling and crash
ing about it waa quo chance iu a thou
sand that a single soul would escape an
instantaneous cooking, because if hat
thing had carried away the steam con
nections yoyir life would havn ended
right then. ’
“ 'Well. I took the chance/ I an-
ewered.
“ ‘Yes. sir, you did, but you didn't
know it, therefore it ia not at all to
your credit. ’ was tlie chief’s answer,
and it was so absolutely true that l
couldn’t for the life of mo make any re
ply. ” —Detroit Free Press.
