Every man who failed to sow wheat last fall wishes now he had a few acres to harvest. 0 Strawberries and cream, spring sliellots and lettuce and other good things coining. What a great old world to live in if we only half try. 0 The building boom has struck Winder and there will he a large number of handsome residences built during the year. Now is the time to buy a lot if you intend building. 0 Fresh beans from the gardens will soon he plentiful, peaches in abundance and watermelons by the loads. What a great time in store for the fellow who looks for good things instead of predicting all Korts of calamities. 0 There is no time to lose if you expect to accomplish much in this world. Time flies rapidly and if you wait too long to formulate your plans, you will he still formulating them when the summons comes to try your fortune in an unknown world to you. 0 : If we could only see ourselves occasionally as others see us all the time, and would lie willing to concede that others saw a great many imperfections in our makeup, we would all make some improve incuts that are very much needed. 0 Talk your town, write your friends about it. have faith in its pos sibilities and never tire telling all of its many advantages over othei towns. Keep your town before the public and the public will become interested in it. Y'ou do it great harm if you are continually criticis ing il and making it’s faults known to the world instead of its virtues. 0 Infernal machines and the parties who make and mail them are not wanted in this country of freedom and the sooner our government gets rid of such characters the better it will be for our civilization. Agitators, anarchists, hombthrowers and all enemies to good govern ment should he gotten rid of and not allowed to remain hereto stir up strife and perfect an organization that believes in murder and do st ruction. A REAL DIPLOMAT. The Filipinos are showing themselves to he diplomats of the first water and a capacity and ability for self government that deserves in dependence for them. Senor Zueron in presenting the memorial of his people to Secre tary Baker, who represented the president, spoke the truth in com plimentig the fairess and justice of this great nation of ours, but said it in words that would touch the pride of any people and gain their sympathy. Where is the diplomat who could excel the brief little gem of chosen words in the speech he made to Secretary Baker which we quote below: “You have truly treated us as no nation ever before lias treated another under its sway, and yet you—and none bet ter than you—will understand why, even under such eonri tions, our people still crave independence, that they, too, may be sovereign masters of their own destinies.'’ THE SOLDIER AND THE CHURCH. It was fervently hoped by Ibe parents and friends of the young men who went to war when this government called them, and as a consequence suffered the temptations and hardships of camp life, the the dangers of trench warefare, the horrors of active combat and de prived of all the pleasures and opportunities of going to church that they would appreciate this privilege so nmeh when getting hack home they would gladly attend the house of the Lord on every Sunday. In fact most of the boys while thousands of miles away in a for eign land, where millions of brave men had already been slain, and they expecting to face death at any moment, dreamed of the dear old church at, home and longed to he hack on Sunday mornings to enjoy the worship. We are sure in their serious and thoughtful moods they renewed their veows to attend more regularly and serve their Clod more loyally if they were permitted to get home again. We know this to he true, because numbers and numbers of them thus touchingly expressed their desires and intentions in letters to friends and loved ones at home. All those deeply concerned in them believed they would come hack imbued with these lofty and holy ideals, strongly impressed with the importance of leading better and cleaner lives, taking more interest in the house of God and building for themselves a firmer foundation for their future destiny and for that of those whom they might influence. So far, however, there has been disappointment in the hearts of those who hoped and prayed for this realization. Instead of result ing as every one had wished and earnestly desired, the opposite effect faces us, and the sad fact confronts us that a large per cent age of our young men who were ready to die for their country are not willing to serve their God, arc absenting themselves from the churches and seem indifferent and unconcerned. This does not give promise for the future growth and advance ment of religious traditions, nor for the progress and onward march of Christian civilization. It does not suggest that fathers anil mot lid's have done their duty, that they have lived lives consistent with their professions. It does not indicate that fathers and mothers have brought up their hoys in the right way and have diligently and pray erfully sought to impress them with the sacredness of their obligat ions, and so ingrafted in the hearts and minds of their boys the great central truth, that no young man can he true to himself, can he a brave and manly soldier for his country and for his family who ig nores the church, who is not a soldier of the cross and believer in the immortality of the soul, and that a higher and nobler destiny in the eternal future awaits him.
