If you don’t aim high, you never hit high. Have an object in life, and pursue it like you meant business. The young man who stands around with his hands m his pockets, will find little or no change in them. Professional ladders are crowded—at the bottom ; but there is plenty of room at the top. Matrimony is a lottery ; a legalized lottery, in which men draw a majority of prizes, and women a .majority of blanks.

Ball & Bro., the new wholesale gro cers of Thomasville, was in town Thursday on his regular trip on this line. His house is prepared to save the trade in this section money on the goods which they offer. Our mer chants can save £ of a, cent per lb on meat by patronizing home industry." A person who is in the habit of speaking their mind, on all occa sions, is apt to get into trouble. Everything is for the best: What we ca l ‘‘misfortunes,” are sometimes blessings in disguise. Every heart hath its own bi'terness; and its sweets also. Committing matrimon, is something fixe taking a plunge bath in a cold pool of water: you hesitate a moment on the brink,shut your eyes,catch your breath, plunge in, and—well you are surpiised that you hesitated so long. Men can not love and be wise at the same tune. ' ' Most people would be shocked to see some of their thoughts pasted up on a wall, so that all could read them. This is a good world, alter all, not withstanding all the hard things which have been said about it. His Tale of Woe.

Do not let your conscience get seared. Keep it tender and it will guide you right. Heaven is musical with the songs of children. Have the nerve to do right. Never loose sight of the fact that you are, or should be, a gentleman The purest gold is of.imes found in the roughest boulders. Try to excel in everything. You may not sue~eed, but it is commenda ble to try. you would have Speak o! others as them speak of you. 1'reat every one as a true lady or perfect gentleman, unless you know, absolutely, that they ar^ not such. Spend less than you make, and ycu will be independent. A man may look wise, and be a dunce. The Christian religion is the salt of the earth. Love does not always “fly out of the window, when poverty comes in at the door.’’ Adversity knits its victims closer together. ‘Tis well ’tis so. Freedom from care is vouched safe to but precious few. The man who thinks the world owes him a living, wants some one iu col lect the debt for him. Express your views firmly, but mild ly, not dogmatic tily. A man who will speak desparaging- iy ol woman should not be trusted. Tale bearers and gossips are the pestsjof society. You can track them trom house to house, by the slime they leave behind them. Good For Humphreys. A movement is ou foot in Brooks county to instruct representative elect Humphreys. Thnt gentleman does not propose to be instructed. He is made of sterner stuff than some poli ticians, Tn a card to the voters of the county, published in the Press, he says; “In the rscent primary I made the race and won as an avowed Gordon man. I itnTft“Oordon-man still. I know God. Gordon is a friend to iny country, und he is a friend to iny friends, and for this reeson I am a Gordon man.” There’s grit in this, and plenty of it, And tho poople of Brooks county should hounr this brave young mao for his manly words. And they will “Good-Bye Foreyer.’’ “It is for the last lime,” she whis pered. Her eyes told him this was the truth. Always inevitable, it had come at last. After to night there wns to bo no future in common. As yet neither had said that word that each is thinking of. “The rose is dead” says he as a shower of petals fell at his feet. Mechanically removing the broken stem from his buttonhole, lie added— “and—tho word is said.” “It has been a sweet chapter in our lives,’ said she, with downcast eyes. “I would not have missed it,” re plied he—” J2ach lingered, loath to turn the last torn leaf. Soon nothing would be left of what had been all. Alas! that tho books of men's llvos should bo written in th^sancl, anti ^ vnnro .envo not even a strange emptiness fills all tho nights. Other nights shall come ghost haunted. Ghost of inscrutable glances, of sweet replies to the old immortal questionings. She stands beside him her lips quiv ering with agony suffered for his sake His eyes are filled with pitying tears for the two broken l've3—their own. Alas! for the happy, 'foolish, fugitive hours they had owned in com men. Alas! for the nights brimming with happy silences under the stars. The shaded lamp is burning out. The hour has come. Words aro poor things. “Did I bring my cane ? ’ And his trembling band reaches into a shadowy corner. “Yes here it is,” replied she. •"Good-night.” “Good-night.” . Each knows that it is good-bye.

That means that hereafter when a train is wrecked, for instance, tho orthodox will not need to believe that tlie obstruction was arranged by Almighty God in order that the vic tims may be mangled os per pre ar ranged programme.” Tlio democrats of Decatur county in mass meeting, endorsed Gov. Gor don, and instructed tho representa tives oT that county to vote for him. Now the allianccmon have met and instructed them to vote aga'nst him. This leaves the matter in au ugly shape. The question wi'l bn natural ly asked: Whether the democratic party or the alliance, is to rule. The Camilla Clarion says: “Ochlockonco looks odd without Dr. J. W. Boston in tho postoffice. He has held the office many years ami managed it well. Harrison’s ad ministration does some very strange things. Life is too short to quibble about trifles.

Tho Constitution may please some people, in its knifing ot General Gor don, but there arc many Georgians, and ti ue ones, too, who regret the course of that paper. Reports from Atlanta say that Col.

Perhaps you've noticed that there arc some concerns that never sell anything excepting “bargains'.” They use the word at all times and under all circumstances. No matter what they sell, no matter what the quality of the article, no matter what the price—its a “bargain ’ just the same— that is, if you're willing to take the dealers word for it.
