HOW TO SUCCEED.
Twenty clerks in a store, twenty
hands in printing office, twenty
apprentices in a shipyard, twenty
young men in a village -all wantto
get alongin the worldf and expects
to do so. One of the clerks will be
come a partner and make a fortune;
one of the compositors will own a
a newspaper and become an influen
tial citizen; one of the apprentices
will become a master builder; one
of the young villagers will get a
handsome farm and live like a pa
triarch—but which one is the lpcky
individual? Lucky? There is no
luck about it. Tue thing is almost
as certain as the rule of three. The
young fellow who will distance his
competitors ia he who masters his
business, who perseveres his integ
rity, who lives cleanly and pure,
who devotes his leisure to the ac
quisition of knowledge, who gains
friends by deserving them and who
saves spare money. There is some
way to fortui • shorter than this old
dusty highway, but the staunch
man of the community, the mau
who achieves something really
worth having—good fortune, good
narn'v, a serene old age—goes in his
bard, dusty road.
Keep a strict account of both
profits and expenses; be careful to
keep the first in advance of tbe last
until the point of independence is
and you will most certain
ly avoid the dreadful fate heretofore
so common to nine-tenths of the
foolish voyagers upon the uncertain
st aof business
Let your industry never grow
weary ; keep your fa’thful servant,
econemy,ever on guard, and. should
no unforseen disaster overwhelm
you, your voyage will most surely
be a successful one
SHERIFF BEAUCHAMP SHOT
Oi Friday night Sheriffs Beau

warrants, went down in the vicinity
of T. N. Brownlee to arrest some dar
keys tor cotton stealing. They
summoned a posse consisting of Mr.
VV, 0. Hoard, Lucian Sanders and
others and preceded to hunt up the
miscreants. They had arrested one
and left him in the hands of Mr,
Crawford, while Mr. Beauchamp
and others went to the home of one
Will Ponder, a very large burly son
of Ham and lound him in bed,
The bold sheriff boldly entered the
room while his assistants remained
outside. Be succeeded in getting
hold of his man when a general tus

escape. He called to those outside
to help and while attempting to en

the hands of Sanders, was accident
ly fired, both barrels—one loaded
with bird shot and the other with
buckshot—pouring I heir deadly
missiles all around the sheriff and
his giant prisoner and one buckshot
struck him, grazing tbe skin in the
left eyebrow, Seveialofthe crowd
hollowed out that they were shot
and it being as dark as Egypt Mr.
Beauchamp could not tell who fired
but thought it was the negro, and
with a superior effort threw him to

WHY KILGORE STUDIED LAW. 1
|
Representative Kilg *re, ol Texas, j
gave the House the benefit of per- j
socab Directory, gays the Washing- i
ton Post He told how he came to !
be in Congress. The relation of the
story was an incident of his remarks
on the bankruptcy bill.
“When I was a youth of 18,” said
he, “I was set to work by my father
plowing a twenty-acre lot with a
bull tongued plow and a pair of
green steers. The ground was
rough, and had more sticks and
stones beneath the surface than
growth above. The steers had their
own notion on the subject of work
and I had mine. They were gener
ally opposed to executive sessions
and administrative interference, and
I had a duty to perform. The result
of our joint sessions was a very
much plowed field, a well broken,
but reduced pair of steers, a broken
bull tongue, and a fine farmer
spoiled. I immediately informed
the old gentleman that I was no
longer candidate for bucolic honors
and that I wouldn’t serve it elected.
He tried to torce the nomination
upon me, but when he saw the bull
tongue, the steers and the field he
thanked me with teais in his eyes
and suggested that I s'udy law,
A SENSIBLE FARMER.
The Fort Valley Leader quotes a
sensible Houstan county farmer as
follows: “I don’t care how much
they fuss about finances in Congress.
There is but one wav for the South
ern farmer to control the money
shark, and that is to let his money
alone. As long as we buy on credit
and borrow mon y to make cotton,
our money matters will always bt
controlled bv those who have mon
ey to loan. The lands in the South
will produce an abundanceof every
thing that is nacessary for food for
man or beast and when vre begin to
raise a supply of these Hhirgs and
stop going to town to buy them, and
stop running to banks to borrow
money that we can dr; without, we
will not give a con<in rdal whether
the currency is on a gold or silver
basis. Then our surj lus crop of
cotton alone will in five years enable
the Southern planter to get all of
the gold or silver that they want -
without borrowing a cent of money
either.”
DON’T BE MISLED.
The fact that so many other manu
facturers try to imitate the “R. J. R.”
skeleton red lags, is sufficient evi
dence that they recognize the “R J R”
Tobacco to be the best- Take no
substitute.

A NOBLE DEED.
BY A NOBLE SECRET ORDER.
Some days ago Col. Y. A. Wright,
Past Great Sachem of the Gieat
Council of the Improved order of
Red Men, of Georgia, and Great
Representative to the Great Council
of the United States, being an inti
mate friend to Great Incohonee,
Thos, E. Peckinpaugh, of Ohio,
wrote to that gentleman, suggesting
that the Great Council should send
some aid to the Red Men of the fe
yer stricken Brunswick. Immedi
ately a reply was received stating
that he had drawn one hundred
fathoms from the Great Council
Waaipum belt and sent it to Geor-
gia for that purpose. Closely fol
lowing that letter was another one,
s'ating that another hundred fath
oms had been forwarded ! ’ r the
same purpose. We n entioi ■ •
show our readers that the Red Men
aie ever ready to aid their brethren
when in need and they never sleep
till their wants are supplied. The
Red Men is a noble order and some
of the grandest men in the nation
are active members of it, and one of
the cardinal principles being to
work in the field of charitv, they are
ever ready to htlp those in distress.
It was through Col. Wrght's influ
ence and his personal acquaintance
with the Great Incohonee that this
aid was extended and he will ever
receive the grateful remembrance of
those of our brethren of ihe fever
stiiken “city bv tne sea.’*
ONLY $1 25-GAZE ON THIS.
We call special attention to our
clubbing arrangement with the great
southern weekly, the Atlanta Consti
tution, which euables us to offer both
papers for the remarkably low sum of
$1 40 a year. The first duty of every
good citizen is to patronize his home
paper. lie wishes to become thor
oughly conversant with his county
matters, and only through his home
paper can he expect to be supplied
with the current county news, which
is of the closest interest to him.
After he has provided himself with
his home paper his next, consideration
of those who arc not within easy
reacn of a first-class daily uevvspaper
should be to select a first-class weekly
newspaper supplying all the general
news ot ihe world, and paying special
attention to features which are of par
ticular interest to the household and
the farm.
Just such a paper is The Weekly
Constitution, published at Atlanta,
Ga., aud having a circulation of
156,000 copies a week, the largest of
any weekly newspaper published in
America. It is essentially a farmer’s
paper aud stands at the head of the
w T eekly press of this country. Its
agricultural department alone is
worth the subscription price of the
paper, while it numbers among its
coiiffihutors such well known names
as Bret llarte, Mark Twain, Joel
Chandler Harris, Sarge Plunk J i
Arp, and a host of others, whose rep
utations are world wide. Its women
an.! childieu’s departments are pre
pared with a special view to please the
little folks aud the women, and its
news colpmns literally cover the face
of the earth.
We aie enabled to offer both papers
at praclically the price of one, and we
will take great pleasure in forwarding
to The Constitution any names sent
us in counectiou with our clubbing
offer at the remarkably low price
above given.
