SUBSCRIPTION PRICE SI.OO PER YEAR It seems that Bryan has lrolted the democratic party in Nebraska. This is the ba sest ingratitude, in view of the fact, that this loquacious and inconsistent gentleman has been thrice honored as the democratic nominee to the highest office in the gift of the republic. In our last week’s issue, we inadvertently placed on the editorial page, in the form of reading matter, a foriegn ad wtisement, which placed us lit the attitude of editorially advising our people to trade away from home. We desire to state this error was not dis covered until the editorial page had been published. Our advertising space, like all other papers, is for sale; we shall always endeavor to devote our editorial columns especially for the upbuilding . of our home town. I Be Optimistic It is a fact, not to he deni ed, that the cotton crop in our vicinity is unusually short this season, hut what is the ust( to go about with a face as long as your arm, croaking and complaining, fostering a pessimistic spirit, and by your attitude and influence helping to create dissatisfaction and lack of confidence, that is al ways detrimental to any com munity. | The “knocker” is never a ■progressive man. The pessi mist never sees the silver Hil ling to a cloud. I We have heard some men Bilk about starvation in this Buntrv, when actually they away or waste enough P* sustain an ordinary family, and have never in their life known what it was to he de tttived of a necessity. Bpur southern people are so Bjverhiallv hospitable and ■lerous by nature, that they Be never learned what eco means. B;ivat many of us go a a "happy-go-lucky" Bur. throw our money a- Brfor things we* could as B do witliput: and then let Bttle stVfigvMiey in money Khersjjloine along, and we ‘ 'down-and-out; ’ lCan’t meet our obligations.

Depending on a mover ending proper distri bution of rain and sunshine ■o provide us with bountiful Barvests. B. In a great many respects. Beware the most fortunate ■people in the world. There bno such a thing as a crop Bilure in this country. Bpor years and years, we have made good average crops, while in other portions of our country they have suffered the direst calamities, by de structive floods, parching drouths, or other agencies of destruction. Undisturbed by earthquakes, storms, cyclones and famine, and surrounded by natural environments, that contribute to the welfare of the human race, holding out to each in dividual, an opportunity to reap the reward of his own la bor. We should be grateful for the bountiful gift of nature and realize, that in the econ omy of God’s great law, it is some time necessary to visit us with misfortunes, in order to develop our characters suf ficiently to meet the greater responsibilities of life. The Manufacturers Record of September 20th, in speak ing of the South, applies the following passage of scripture quoted from Dent. Bth: 7,8 and Uth, verses: “A good land, a land of water, of fountainsand depths that spring out of valleys and hills: a land of wheat, and barley, and vines and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil. olive and honey; a land where thou shalt eat without scarceness, thou shalt not lack anything in it: a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills thou mavest dig brass.” Who can say this is not ty pical of our grand old state of Georgia? Yet there are some, who will put on a grave-yard appearance, and “murder sleep” when they are called upon to meet a little reverse in fortune. Other miserable cowards will actually commit suicide, and plunge their souls into eternal hell, when they see the luxuries of life slipping away from them. Capt. Bogardus Again Hits The Bull’s Eye. This world famous rifleshot who holds the championship record of t()<) pigeons in 100 consecutive shots is living at Lincoln, 111.
