UhIiiu Big; Words.
The use of long, high—sounding
words is not by any means indica¬
tive of a polished education. On
the contrary the successful and
popular w riters, the most eloquent
orators, as well as the most bril¬
liant conversationalists attribute
them success to the simplicity of
their language.
Wo not infrequently hear men
and women who would appear to
be highly educated, using words
with u meaning the very opposite
to that which they wish to convey.
These people, in order to hide
their ignorance, have acquired a
vocabulary of large words which
they use indiscriminately and
without regard to sense or reason.
For instance, a certuia gentle¬
man of our acquaintance, whose
opportunities for nn education in
early youth had been limited, had
memorized u long list of jawbrenk-
ing words which lie used at every
opportunity. On one oension
while talking with a friend, n
mutual acquaintance was brought
undei discussion, when her m rk-
ed.
“I’ll tell you whnt, Brown is a
fine fellow . lie’s a regnlur Mephis*
topholes in the contour of his
physiognomy.” Now, Brown wa
a very handsome man, and thin is
the idea evidently ment to be
conveyed, but, according to oui
conception of the Prince of Dark-
lies'*, who is second only to Satan
in the Infernal Region, the gen-
tinman was given nn entirely dif¬
ferent description by his friend.
The other duy a gentleman re¬
marked to an old negro w ho is
given to the use of big words.
“Sum your old enemy, Uncle
Rastus informed me the other day
that your vox populi hud degen¬
erated into your diaphragm to
aucli an extent that it bus com¬
pletely horizontalized your j>er-
poudicularity. 1 don’t believe a
word he says.”
After scratching his head a few
aeconds, and looking about as wise
ns an old owl Sum replied:
“Boss, dar ain’t a word ob ex
aggeration in the whole refraction
an’ if 1 elver recognized (lnt nigger,
IV gmiiie ter pufforate him on da
unaxHgoreun. Dut’s jess what 1 'so
a gwiue ter do. bat nigger ain’t
got no edification, an’ I'll Leach
him to oh link refractions on deni
what has.”
The small number and simplio
ity of words actually necessary
for ordinary purpose in our every
day life is surprising, and nothing
illustrates tnis bettor than the
limited vocabulary of a little
child.
Take, for instance, n certain
very precocious little girl in this
city, aged just six years(nnd there
are hundreds here.) She is able
to talk freely, eisily and intelli-
gently. If any adult knew just
the number of words in a foreign
to iguo that she knows in her own,
lie would be able to get along nicely
ina conversational nay with peo-
pie who speak nothing but that
language.
Whnt a child's vocabulary com-
prise*, how many words, and of
what clasus, mnv he ascertained by
an investigat ion extending over n
short period of time.
Omitting projer nnnn the
child in question used just,
words, and ahe taikod
ingly on subj'cts that came within
her knowledge. Of tiiwe Knrdi,:
f 4 per cent were nouns, 18 percent
verbs, 11 per cent adjectivts, and
the remainder made up of con-
junctions, prepositions aud pro-
nouns.
This go#/ to show that it is not
absolutely necessary for & person j
to saaslicate an encyclopedia and j
digest a dictionary in order to be
a brilliant conversationalist, a
fluent wnt<r or an eloquent
On the contrary, the p,dished man
nr woman obowld always use the
simplest words at his or her com- i
iiioiul. and never try to overawe j
any one with their owu supposed i
education.-— Atneridus Press. I
gia, and tho proposition is in it-
self perfectly just. Further divis-
ions of this sort would give South
Georgia more of tho power in the
councils of the state to which that
section is justly entitled. Tho
trouble is that the constitution
adopfsd in 1877 put a stop to the
■ further production of new coun-
1 ties. An amendment would be ro¬
quind, and that would be diffi¬
cult.—Macon Telegraph.

merchants and business men gen¬

friendly feeling for one another,
pertinently remarks the Florence

different opinions politically and
religiously from you is no reason
you should hold yourself aloft
from him Remember always
that his friendship is worth more
to you tliun his opinions. In
friendship there is harmony, nnd
in harmony there is strength. One
man alone cannot build up a town,
nor can half its citizens do so
