THE COUNTY FAIR
Mr. Editor: —What a glorious
time it will be when Harris county
comes together as a unit and makes
a grand display on the 27 and 28 of
September. Every heart will feel
glad. But happier still will it be
when the county exhibit tikes the
blue ribbon at the Columbus Exposi
lion. To enjoy these pleasures our
people must become interested. Let
every man who feels the least interest
in the wel fare of his own county go
to talking and working. Get the
subject of fair freely discussed at the
fireside of every home. You who
think you can do nothing can do a
great deal. The humblest and poor
cst citizen can do some Work good by mak
ing a small exhibit. for the
success of your county. Your coun
ty will share honor in event of sue
cess and you will all equally share
those honors. A very prominent man
said the other day that the largest en¬
thusiasm was being taken near the
railroad. Let not this be the case.
Let help and plenty of it come from
every district. The result of
fairs is not visible all at once but the
outgrowing Of such displays is mirac¬
ulous in the course of a few years.
They are veiy progressive in their
nature and we only wish we had the
power of electrotyping the fact so
forcibly that ;very man could see at
once the great necessity of contribu¬
ting something to its destined suc¬
cess. We cio not write as we do be¬
cause we fear a failure. Oh no, not
at all, but thinking it might contrib¬
ute a small help to put a success on
top of a success.
A Well Wisher.
Does the 'World Hiss Any One ?
Not long. The best and most use
fill of us will soon be forgotten. Those
who to day are filling a large place in
the world’s regard will pass away from
the rempmbiance of men in a few
months, or at farthest in a few years
after the grave has closed upon their
remains. We are shedding tears
above a new made grave and wildly
crying out in our grief that our loss is
irreparable. Yet in a short time, the
tendrils of love have twined around
other supports, and we no longer miss
the one that has gone. So passes
t' e world. But there are those to
whom a loss is beyond repair. memories There
are men from whose no
woman’s smile c^n chase recollections
of the sweet face.that has given up
aU its beauty at Death’s icy touch.
There extends are women whose plighted
faith beyond the grave, and
drives away as profane those who
would entice trom a worship of their
buried loves. Such loyalty however
is hidden away from the public gaze.
The world sweeps on beside and
atound them and cires not to look in
upon this unootrmrtmg grief. It
carves a line and rears a stone over
the dead and hastens away to offer
homage to the living. It cries out
weepingly “Le Roy est mort;”—but
with the next breath exclaims joyous¬
ly, “Vive le Roy.” * *

When any one thinks that nobody
cares for or loves him he would do
well to ask himself what he has done
to make anybody care for and love
him.
At a school some time since a boy
was reciting a poem referring insists to
anc ^ en I mariner who on
h'dng by the seaside because^ he can
not dwell beyond old oceans roar;
but unfortunately, “grim palsy holds

£ y cried the schoolmaster, lnter
rupting him. “Grim palsy ? please,
sir, its his wife, sir,” answered the boy.
Every cormfiunity is cursed by the
presence of a class of people who
make it their business to attend to
everyoody’s but their own. Such
people are the meanest specimens of
depraved humanity which an all-wise
Providence permits to exist on this
earth. It is well known that almost
eveiy person is sometimes disposed
to speak evil of others, and tattling is
a sin from which very few can claim
to be entirely exempt,
A Cleveland lawyer, defending a
handsome young lady charged with
larceny, closed his appeal to the jury
thus: “Gentlemen, you may hang
the ocean on a grape vine 40 dry ;
Jassd an avalanche; pin a napkin to
the mouth of a volcano; skim the
clouds from the sky with a teaspoon;
throw salt on the tail ot the Arneri
can eagle, whose sleepless eye watch¬
es over the wellfare of the nation ;
paste ‘For rent’ on the moon and
stars—but never for a moment de¬
lude yourselves with the idea that
this charming girl is guilty of the
charge preferred against her.” The
jury acquitted her without retiring
from their seats.

The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
was once written to by a young
man who recommended himself very
highly as being honest, who closed
with the request: “Get me an easy
situation, that honesty may be re¬
warded.” To which Mr. Beecher re¬
plied : “Don’t be an editor if you
would be ‘easy.’ Don’t try the law.
Avoid school keeping. Keep out of
the pulpit. Let alone all ships, shops,
stores and merchandise. Abhor
politics. Keep away from lawyers.
Don’t practice medicine. Be not a
mechanic nor a farmer, neither a
soldier nor a sailor. Don’t study.
Don’t think. Don’t work. None of
them are easy. O, my honest friend,
you are in a very hard world! 4
know of but one real ‘easy’ place in
it. That is the grave.
