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 der Drug Cos. Winder, Ga., 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?

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. J. B Clark, Peoria.
