O, gossip, how many blighted lives
have you caused?—Thomasville Times'

Respectfully referred to some peo
ple not a hundred miles from Albany,
whose homes would be brighter nnd
more attractive if they would stay
there and look after domestic affairs
and not gad about like heathens pry
ing into everybody’s business but their
own.—News and Advertiser, Albany.
The chronic gossip is one of the
most dangerous characters in society.
They make mountains out of mole
hills, distort and twist, misrepresent
and scatter tho seeds of discord wher
ever they go. And they are to be
found in almost every city, town, v : l-
4age and hamlet in the land. It will
require au eternity to unfold the bale
ful effects of the gossip.
Misauoted-
The News and Advertiser, Albany
says:
“Editor Triplett, ofthe Thomasville
Times-Entcrprise says: “There seems
to be a wrangle over sending some
one to tho United Slates Senate to
succeed Senator Brown. Why can't
factions harmonize on me? I’il
go.”
Bro. Turner, you are mistaken.
The remarks should be credited to
somo one else. Our only ambition is
to conduct tho Times-Enterprise in
the interest of this section of Georgia,
and to battle as we have always done,
for pure, unadulterated democracy.
The mission of an editor, wh !, e not
so exalted ns many other stations in
l'fe, is full of responsibility, and if
he acqr’ts himse ,,, well, publishes
a clean sheet, ignores scandals, labors
for the good of his race, pleads for
purity and the ob3crvnnco of law
and order, ho has done os much, pen
