WINDER, JACKSON COON iV, GEORG LA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 4, 1900.
The 20th Century Ques=
tlon.
There has been considerable discus*
ion, among the learned and unlearned,
lately as to when the 20th century be
gins; and the division of opinion still
exists and is likely to.
Asa matter of fact at the point of
time we term midnight the last night of
December approaching, nineteen bun
died and four years shall have passed
since the year of the birth of Christ,
and January would begin the filth year
of the 20th century and we would write
it 1904 because 1904 years had beeu
completed, and ail through the fifth
year of the 20th century we would be
writing 1904 jr.-t like we have been do
ing during this nineteen hundred years
we have been dating, and calling it 1899
for the reason that 1899 3 ears bad pass
ed—were completed last December; and
since then we have been numbering
the months of the 1900th year—the clos
ing year of the 19th century and ac
cording to the manner of our customa
ry dating the first day of January 1900
begius the first year of the 20th century
and will not be numbered as a year un
til it is a year with all its numbered
days and months completed.
Thus a year from next January Ist
wo will write 1901 and that will mean j
the 19th century completed and oue
year numbered on the 20th century.
You would not say you had $19.00 if
you only had $18.99. Yon get the last
cent this year, and tiuthfully name it
$19.00 and if, these times, you get any
more cents on New Years day you will
begin on your 20th dollar.
Time has so been counted since the
birth of Christ excepting four times,
probably when the learned aud other
wise got their brains muddled some
what like the present contused state of j
things they leaped over a year and it
dropped out of the count and the date
changed and thus the four years were
severally lost and if we wait until 1901
to begin the 20th century another year
will be lost making five years lost In
the count since the b>rrh of Christ.—
Quill.
QUESTION ANSWERED.
Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale ot any medicine in the civ
ilized world, Your mothers’ and grand
mothers’ never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Biliousness.
Doctors were scarce, and they seldom
heard of Appendicitis, Nervous Prostra
tion or Heart failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the system
and stop fermentation of undigested
food, regulate the action of the liver,
stimulate the nervous and organic ac
tion of the sj'stem, aud that is all they
took when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. You only
need a few doses of Green’s August
Flower, in liquid form, to make you sat
isfied there is nothing serious the mat
ter with you. Sample bottles at Win

There is prosperity iu the country,
but unfortunately it is confined to the
men with money. Those without it
have seldom, as a whole been worse off.
Even if they are employed the cost of
living is so great, so disproportioned to
the scale of wages paid, that they find
it almost impossible to make ends meet.
These men begin to anxiously seek
what is to become of them.—Denver
Post.
DOES IT PAY TO BUY CHEAP?
A cheap remedy for coughs and colds
is all right, but you want something
that will relieve and cure the more se
vere and dangerous results of throat aud
lung troubles. What shall you do? Go
to a warmer and more regular climate?
Yes, if possiple; if not posible for you,
then in either case tuke the ONLY rem
edy that has been introduced in all civ
ilized countries with success for severe
throat and lungs troubles, Boschee’s
German Syrup.” It not only heals and
stimulates tne tissues to destroy the
germ disease, but allays inflammation,
causes easy expectoration, gives a good
night’s rest, aud cures the patient. Try
one bottle. Recommended many years
by all druggists in the world. Sample

Words of Wisdom.
You can force anvthing on society so
long as it has no sequel.—Goethe.
He who wears his heart on his sleeve
will often have to lament that daws
peck at it. —Carlyle.
The three things most difficult are—
to keep a secret, to forget an injury
and to make good use of leisure.
There is more joy in the penitential
mournings of a believer than in all the
mirth of a wicked man. —Crisp.
Mirny a womaau has sat at the same
table with her husband and looked
in his face for years and has never
known him. Many a husband has sat
in the same room, has known the sooi
ety through years of his wife aud
uever known her —never. You do uol
know a person if you know simply the
complexion aud stature. Estrangement
iu life is due often to ignorance of the
relations occupied —De Fairbairu.
There is nothing which grounds a
man in truth aud righteousness so firm
ly, there is nothing which lifts hinr up
so surely, as the doing of good to oth
ers. This, indeed, is only the highest
illustration of a law, wide as the realm
of human. The bird which sings for
others gladdens its own heart with its
song. The brook which flows with
music for listening ears grows more
clear and limpid as it flows. In doing
good everything iu God’s universe gets
good. Service of others is the highest
service of self and the best way for any
man to grow in grace is to move for
ward in service.—H.
Be ready to follow the example of the
Good Samaritan and never pass by on
the other side any whom you can sne
cour. Never mind how they come to
need your help,. You need not trouble
them to tell the story of their conflict
with the ihieves who robbed them, who
took of their “store of love,” and
them cruel wounds iu return. You
need not ask them h6w it chanced that
they were not Miser aud stronger, and
did not know better how to defend
themselves in the fight; but take them
as they are, “trust them greatly,” deal
with thim gently, pour in the oil ot'
sympathy and brace them with the ex
hilarating tonic of love aud He who has
made us fellow workers together with
) Him and fellow travelers on the same
road, when He comes again He will
surely repay you —H.
Not only are we to gain abundance
for the household, but we are also to
see that when we die the hrusehold is
not left without proper provision.
Therefore the weakness of love and its
self-indulgence which lead a man to
supply too much for the day and to live
beyond his means are to be rebnked.
His wife is so beautiful and acconi
plished that he can not bear to see her
other than in her place iu society long
tefore he is properly able to put her
there, and his children are so dear to
him that he can not bear to see them
deprived of anything that men’s
children have long before he has a suffi
oient inoorne with which to provide
these things. And, where a man thus
lives beyond his means, when the col
lapse comes he leaves his family quick
coming misery and a future full of
sweeping storms. To have such a
sense of the shortness of life that one
can not afford to go beyond one’s
means, but must live far within them —
that is the part of worldly prudence.
The sun rolls on in the far dome of
heaven and now day, and now night,
sweeps with alternate bands over the
surface of hill and wood aud sea; the
sea beats in endless waves, which first
began to undulate a thousand years
ago, starting from the other rim of
time; the green leaves repeat the
beauty that gladdened man in ancient
days. But for themßelves they are, and
not for us. Their glory fills the mind
with rapture, but for a while, and it
learns that they are, like carven idols,
wholly careless and indifferent to our
fate. Then is the valley incomplete
and the void sad! Tit hills speak of
death as well as life, and we know that
for man there is nothing on earth
really but man; the human species
owns and possesses nothing but its
species. When 1 saw this I turned
with threefold concentration of desire
and love towards that expression of
hope which is called beauty, such as is
worked in marble here. For I think
beauty is truthfully an expression of
hope, and that is why ii is so enthrall-
iug—because while the heart is ab
sorbed in its contemplation, uncon
scious but pow-rfnl, hope is Ailing the
breast. So powerful is it as to banish
for the time all care, aud to make this
life seem the life of the immortals.—
Richard Jefferies.
