Now!
There are some people who are
fraidofthe light. Tney have a
ionic objection to telling the truth;
c rather they have a gnawing pro
ensity to cover it up. We do not
lean to say that any human man
lrould tell a lie, but we just mean to
ay among our vast circle of acquain
tances, we know of two or three, yes
jnavbe as many us half a dozen who
lyould rather the world would be just
ji little bit ignorant of the truth. The
newspaper that caters to this specie
)f the animal, ;will no doubt please
iverybody , but that kina of a news
paper is of no more service to the
community than a knot on a stick.
The policy of the Record will be that
of qews vender and that in plain
-* and without salting the feei
ng of anyone. We know that such
a policy will lose us considerable bus
iness, some subscribers and a lot of
friends, but we would rather be right
than to inherit a fortune.
County’s Debts flust B* Paid,
The psople of Butts county are
unamonously in favor of speedily
paying the counties debts and that
without litigation. The money has
been spent in improving our roads,
building substantial bridges, beauti
fying our court house yard and other
improvements, and now the county
wants her credit kept up to the high
watermark. If, as lias been said, it
iB illegal to levy a tax to meet these
expenditures tnen let us by all means
FREE!

have some special legislation about
the matter. It does not apoeal to us
as an act of wisdom to spend two or
three thousand dollars of the counties
good money in litigation when wis
dom and right prompt ourcommis
sioners to arrange the matter with
the counties creditors so that time
may be had to raise tije funds and
pay it. We do not believe the voters
of the county would entertain for a
moment the idea of a bond issue, (the
effort having been made once to sad
dle them with that iniquty) but, in
the event that it transpires that
there is no oth-r way, and the legis
lature by special act CAN authorize
our commissioners to levy a special
tax, for the purpose we have not the
least doubt that all would end in
amity.

The Novelist’s Mission.
The neglect of Disraeli’s writings
may be in part due to the fact that
most people think it is below the
dignity of a statesman or of any
man following what is called a “se
rious” profession to compose works
# of fiction. Certainly many do not
yet understand that the man who
writes novels may be a very wise
man. They do not realize that ac
curately to portray human nature
and to present pictures of life is not
only a most worthy hut also a most
difficult task, requiring for its per
formance an intelligence far above
the average acute powers of ob
servation and a keen sense of hu
mor, for surely the great novelist
is the observer sounding the depths
while others glance at the surface
and examining the mysteries of life
while others are content to over
look even the obvious.—Melville’s
“Victorian Novelists.”
Conclusive Reasoning.
A little elderly German who keeps
a stationer’s shop amuses and inter
ests himself by making up stories
about his customers and telling
them to his family.
“Dat young lady who has de pink
cheeks, she be married soon, I
t’ink,” he announced one night.
“Now, my Carl, you know net
tings of her whatever. Is it not
so?” And his wife tried to look as
if she did not think him a wonder
fully clever man.
“It is like dis,” said the stationer
solemnly: “I observe, and i know.
At first she buy paper and envelopes
de same, later she buy twice as more
paper and den five times as more
paper as envelopes. So I know she
is become betrothed.
“And today,” lie said, beaming
with pleasure; “today she buy only
one-half dozen envelopes and five
times as more paper, and when I
tell her she get dem cheaper if she
buy many she say to me, 'I have no
need of more, t’ank you.’ So I
know de friend ho comes soon, and
so comes de marriage on quickly.”
Proved tho Forgery.
“When Lincoln was practicing
law,” said a retired judge, “he had a
ease involving a disputed will. The
opposition claimed that the will
was genuine and for several hours
adduced proof of this. For Lincoln,
who had to prove the will a forgery,
things looked black.
“Lincoln, however, called only
one witness, a retired paper manu
facturer renowned the country over
for his wealth and probity.
“ ‘Mr. Dash,’ Lincoln said to the
witness, handing him the disputed
will, ‘please hold the paper up to
the light and tell us what is the
watermark on it.’
“ ‘The watermark of my own
firm, Blank & Co.,’ the witness an
swered.
“ ‘When did your firm begin to
manufacture paper ?’
“‘ln 1841/
“ ‘And what’s the date of the
document in your hands?’
“‘Aug. 11, 1836/
“ ‘That is enough. Gentlemen
of the jury, our case is closed.’” —
