He came from Hall county where he had been following school teaching. Mr. Wimpy wore a short round about coat, not worn these days. He went to clerking in the store for a man named Pinchback.

This is the timo of year for our people to begin to cast about and make their arrangements for an other year. Some will, of course, move from where they have lived since the close of 190k. Some have bought homes, and some will run on the rent .plan again. Some will engage in one .pursuit and some another. Some will clear something from their year’s labor and; many will come out behind and will have to make a new start from the bottom, «o to speak, next year. Let Urnut be as it may, take new courage, shrike with a great er determination to succeed and a degree of success will attend you.

There seems*to be a disposition on the part of many of the churches of the country to disre gard the spiritual welfare of the poor man in fivvwr of the rich. It. is unfortunate but true. Men and women of wealth and so-called refinement dominate the great majority of the houses of worship, with the result that the poor working man is gradually be- j coming forced to the conclusion 1 that he is out of his element and j not wanted. Many of our ministers, while j well meaning perhaps, preach to the higher social set and tfarget | that a heart beats in the breast of the poor man in shabby clothes who occupy the back scat. If he makes his appearance at the social a Hairs 1I10 is looked at askance and made to feel his infe riority. When a woman in fine DRY GOODS OK ALL KIND NOTIONS A SPECIALTY. raiment passes him, she gathers -•ok.:.xSk:iS©- up her skirts in ifear of coming in to contact with .one of the “com mon people. - ” And what does the poor man do? | After .receiving a few of these rebuffs ihe comes to the conclusion that there is no place in the house of Cod for him, and .remains 1 away. And where does the fault lie? With the minister and the rich man. With the minister, because he fails to use his position to n-ing about a better feeling of Christian spirit between the two extreme's. With the rich man be cause of his presumption in con sidering himself above a man who is honest but poor. The house of Cod should bo ,jx place of refuge for all people, and the soul of a poor man should bo cherished as much as the man I with his millions. | Banish worldly ideas when you enter the church, and remember i that God never judges a man by j his dollars and cents.—The For- ; est Blade.

Regarding the profits in pecan growing u Texas authority is quoted as follows: “Pecan-growing is no geterieh- i quick scheme as far as the quick ! part is concerned. Riches iwc 1 there, however, and they come j slowly but surely. This industry j is as near getting something for nothing as ever happens on this ! earth. You can attend to any other business yarn happen to be 1 engaged iu and the pecans will still grow. It is not necessary to j sit on the fence and watch them.

SATTERFIELD, Dealer in FAMILY GROCERIES Our friend Mr. Grant Woody, who runs such a good hotel across the Blue Ridge at Qubec, Gu., was iu the eity last week. Mr. Woody was on his way to Gaines-t vilic to get a lot of Rainbow Trout for his pond, donated him by the government. The telegram noting The arrival of the car containing them, didn’t reach him in time and he was two days behind and missed ids fish. Mr. Woody has a nice hotel where a number of lower ■couniiry people spend the summer and drink from the spring, water that is as cold as ice, and dine at a table supplied with the best the country affords. Advertisement cannot justly ho called an expense, although it is all expense when ignorantly hand led. Advertising is an investment. Dealers in articles where the profit is less than 15 per cent fig ure 2 per cent of their sales as the proper portion to be devoted ad vertising. There are lines where profits run high as 400 per cent. The lines demand a much higher per cent devoted to advertising, as the daily sales amount to much less than where the profit is smaller. Jf you have anything to soli, never allow yourself to argue that there is no need of advertising. Your friends, even, after awhile, won’t ask if you keep certain ar ticles. They become tired of continu ally asking what you have in your etoro and gradually drift over to your progressive competitor who persistently and continually ad vcrtiscs.—Romo Tribune. Farming does not necessarily j mean drudgery and ignorance, as I many interpret it but it is a science and the world is fust coming to consider that to be a good farmer is an honor. We have frequently alluded to the tendency of young men to leave the farm, perhaps making the mistake of rushing off to the large cities to make for tunes. They have heard of some farmer’s boy going to the city and becoming a partner in a store and after a while becoming the head of the firm and they will go and But where one has CITY DIRECTORY SUPERIOR COURT. 3rd Mondays in April and Octo ber.
