THOMPSON WRITES POETRY.
* •
Come now my lriend and go with me
A pleasant stroll for you ’twill be,
For there are things I’d show you
’Twill make you doubt or make you
true.
We’ll make our start from Winder
town,
Our journey’s end is to be found,
But e’re we start h t's think a line,
From Winder to the end we find.
Let’s call this line a line of base
Get off stations at any place,
And on this line walk many men
And from it some men do descend.
Now if you choose to speculate
Think of some place in another state,
Then draw a line within your mind
Where, oh where, would unite these
lines.
And now we have our angle done
Heady to start and make a run,
Shall we incline to number one,
Or on number two our work be done.
•A
You’ll not forget as we go along,
Some on the one line singing song,
Some are drinking, some are dancing
Some are pouting, some are prancing
Some are shouting, some are mourn
ing,
Some are resting, some are roaming,
Some are laughing, some are crying,
Some care not, of others dying.
Now on this line if you will note
Then are a few as the Apostle wrote
Whose faces shine in love sublime
And they lean not to the other line.
Their garments are perfectly clean
Their forms are full, show nothing
lean,
They boldly stand where’er they stop
No wind, how fierce, can make them
flop.
They’re travelers true, in truth and
light,
They falter not when men should
fight,
They nothing fear, are soldiers brave
Will run the race and souls will save
Now on a line some distance off
Are men who’ll at you scoff,
And claim we’re only silly fools,
Who’d watch so well each little rule.
They claim a dance a harmless game
Neglect their drink a wasteless shame
Church going is a childish act.
And not indulged by men of tact.
Of politics they boast a deal,
And morals are a precious speil.
Just pay your debts, come right along
We'll raise our tune and sing oui
song.
They tell you that to run a town
Must tax the wealth till they are
down,
To a level or equal to
The poorest financier of you.
They tell you that the preachers
pray.
And preaches for —not souls, but pa>
And if you’d take from them the
cash
They’d cut a figure seeming rash.
They see no good in any man
Quote scripture as the Devil can,
Claiming the president is the one
Who’s bringing the trouble on.
They tell you Governors sell for cash
That Kings and Queens brought on
the crash.
That’s slaying Europe’s brave young
men
And making other nations sin.
Now if they knew what they should
know.
The king cannot 4 make war alone.
And if his men were righteous then
They would not a man have slain.
They tell you that a man of wealth
Got his cash by force or stealth,
Robbed the widow of her home.
And sent the orphan to his doom.
They never stop to quote to you
The story of old Job so true,
Nor tell of his wondrous wealth
And how he once regained his health
They speil in town and country-side,
They speil in low and higher tide;
For speiling is all that they can do.
It tickles some, say, does it you?
There is a sight that pains me much
And grieves me more to think of
. r '
such, '
To see a nian now old and gray
A speiling of his life away.
He’s had the word which he could
read,
And acts of men with nobel deeds <
He’s had the good things of the earth
To lead him all the way from birth.
Now won’t you stop right where you
are,
Get on the right line, be a star,
Stop your speiling or complaining
And live like those in righteous
feigning. C. M. Thompson.

A MANLY MAN.
The Psalmist once asked “What is
Man?’" The question looms as large
today as it did in the Davidic age.
There are three things required to
make a really manly man.
1. Courage.
Mark Anthony found the dead body
of his enemy, Brutus, and said: “His
life was gentle, and the elements bo
mixed in him that nature might
stand up and say to all the world,
‘Tills was a man.’ ’’
Not mere rashness, but courage to
face danger without flinching and
stand without a quaver before the
world on the side of the small minor
ity if it be right. Because it takes
courage to say, “I’d rather be right
than president.”
2. Gentleness.
Not only an essential qualification
in a great woman, but also in a
great man. Wesley’s mother taught
him to fear nothing but God and be
ashamed of nothing but sin. The
highest compliment that can be paid
one is to say of him, “He is a gen
tleman.*’
3. Obedience.
No man is great who*fights for
himself. “Others” was the one word
flashed over the world by General
Booth of the Salvation Army. He
that would be greatest among you
let him become your servant, said
Christ.
You must have a master. And you
belong to whom you serve. If you,
have a master on earth you are not
free. Only the man surrendered to
God can bo permanently great.
These qualities make a manly man —
Courage, Gentleness, Obedience.
Rev. W. H, Faust to Address Ogle
thorpe Teachers.
The Athens Banner in anrtouncing
the Oglethorpe Teachers Institute for
March 18, has the following to say
concerning one of our ministers:
“Rev. W. H. Faust, of Winder,
has been selected as orator of the
day. He is second to none. The
words from his versatile lips are as
apples of gold in pictures of silver.
Taking his past record as a basis of
judgment the program committee is
to be congratulated in securing such
an eloquent speaker. At 1:30 he will
address the teachers upon the sub
ject, ‘Oglethorpe County’s Loss Thru
Neglected Opportunities.’ '*
Rank Foolishness.
You occasionally see it stated that
colds do not result from cold weath
er. That is rank foolishness. Were
it true colds would be as prevalent
in midsummer as in midwinter. The
microbe that causes colds flourishes
in damp, cold weather. To get rid
of a cold take Chamberlain’s Cpugh
Remedy. It Is effectual and isj high
ly recommended have
used it for>manyi years as occasion
Required, and know its real value.
Obtainable everywhere.— Advt.
