We uotice that there is a greater number than usual of white men without homes. White men should not have to hunt homes.

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 champ and Crawford, armed with 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 stl followed in tbe negro tr ing to escape. He called to those outside to help and while attempting to en ter the door a douhle barrel gun. in 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 the fl or and quick as thought had nim hai dcuffed.

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.

Nature's / Schenck-s Remedy \ for JMT / IwIANDRAKE Liver j L, VER p ILLS Complaint \ -■■■ 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.
