Man’s powers are limitless. His failures are duo to his lack of energy or to ilia resignation of lib purposes liefore they are completed. If pursued with hope and confidence and energy there is no reasonable thing he cannot accomplish. This idea of cours \ is a truism, and the human race is so accustomed to hearing it ( nuneiated that its true sig liidcnnee is generally passed oyer and Inst. But this is no reason why great truths should he laid to rest. It is no reason why fads and foolishness and only ‘ new" things should usurp the throne of reason and occupy all the time and talent of our generation. Tim Athenians made this mistake and life si Athens wore itself to a frazzle endeavoring to discover “something new,” J great man has said that lie was suspicious of anything not eight een hundred years old, and he was certainly anchored in a safe principle if not altogether a progressive one. There is nothing new under the sun, and whatsoever may he turned In ac count in the true progress oT the race is founded in the truisms and the noted facts of long standing. lienee, it is our privilege and duty to eont’nue to teach the world the old things. One good old fashion truth well inculcated stirs the powers aid guides the ener gies of a hoy or girl moie than all the tads of the Nineteenth century. Fads are fmperlieial and play upon * ll Vancics, while truth is fundamen tal and digs into tin- depthsof the soul. Out of tin- deep Wells of soul conic the powers that give mail prestige over creation, lie was created to rule over the earth and he may he master of it all if he will hut use his powers and persist in his efforts. ll is well for the youth to know this and it is better that man should not forget it. Forgotten truth is hardly better than unlearned truth. Superficial fact lodges only in the * — "*'*ial mind.

The man who thinks he is some thing when he is nothing should bend his energies to realize his opinion. A disastrous cyclone passed over j ,Sherman Texas on the loth and from : 100 to 200 lives were lost. An honest man is the noblest work of God, hut that means more than a j man who simply pays his debts. General Fitz.hugh Lee has gone to j Cuba and we may now rest assured that our interests there will he care fully guarded. Every &auc and honest man has a right to his opinion, but he should not forget even then that his judgement may he wrong. Henry ,G. Turner is brilliant and learned, it is true, hut his honesty it is which makes him the greatest states man of them all. Washington, the ‘Tiber of his coun try and the grjat exponent of liberty, would blush to see hisoff-pring wrang ling over the the s .hjeet of pocket change. Religion teaches industry, honesty and truthfulness, and the young man who hopes to succeed in life must possess tluso three essentials. Peebles. McKinley will be the Republcan nominee lor president and if Cleve land do not appose him In- likely will he president. Well, he isn't a bad man after all. There is a vast difference between the “New woman,” and the “Old wo man,” but the host woman is site who culls the virtues of both and renounces the vices of either. The only kind of a miser that the Bible approves of is a miser of time. Every man should remember that each hour has (it) minutes in it studded with diamonds of knowledge. —Peebles. If Grover Cleveland were it.fallible like some of his enemies, there wou'd be cause to suspicion his honesty, but as he sometimes makes mistakes, our confidence in him shall continue to remain unshaken. Jt is the duty of every Coffee county boy, who has a possible chance to win. to stand the examination for the West 1 Mint appointment. Education J is what we most need and in the com ing generation alone can this he ob tained. “The extravegance of modern society debars many young men from mar riage who feel they cannot afford to livens tlveir position would require them. This is one of the greatest dan gers to the home, and is growing.” says a noted divine. The richest man in the world is said to he John B. Robinson of South Africa. Eighteen years ago lie kept a grocery store in the Orange Free State, and was in debt. He and his wife begged their way to Kimberly, where Robin son picked up a rough diamond worth $1,210 This was the foundation of his fortune, which is now estimated at $310,<520,000. Capt. Eli K. Wilcox is a candidate for the legislature from Telfair county. Of all the men we know in the world there is not one on whom we should more delight to see this honor b 'stowed. He is an honest man and a Christian gentleman and would do honor to any community. The Telfair Enterprise iu a complimentary editorial says this of him : “It has often been said that when a man runs for office, that some one will find something to tell on him that is detrimental to his character but we are sure that there lives not the man in this good old county of Telfair, who can truthfully bring one single charge against the man whose name heads this article.” .
