EDITORIAL NOTES.
Harris county is as safe a place
for yellow fever refugees as Atlanta
or North Carolina. Our exposition
has not been deferred.
Do you want Harris represented
in the next legislature by negroes ?
If you stay at home next Wednesday
the probability is that it will be so
represented.
It isn’t every county that can have
such a fair as Harris county has to¬
day. The man who sees the exhibit
in the court house and is not prouder
of being a citizen of Harris because
of it, is made of poor material.
Remember the election next Wed¬
nesday and go to the- polls. Do not
take it for granted your vote will not
be needed. Two negroes are in the
field for representatives and if no
more white people go to the polls
Wednesday than voted two years ago
at the October election, these negroes
will be elected.
The Chattahoochee Valley Exposi
tion opens on the 4tli of October and
continues nine days. An interesting
program has been prepared for each
day and the public may rely upon
having every feature carried out as
published. The management has in
every instance given the public more
than it has anticipated, and they do
not propose to discontinue this policy
until the Exposition is closed.

HUMAN SYMPATHY.
There is a skeleton in every closet
and every heart knows its own bitter¬
ness. If the light of a tender heart
could be shed on the bitter experien¬
ces of others less harsh judgment
would be passed on the conduct of
others and the sum of happiness
would be vastly increased. It takes
a hero often to discharge a painful
duty. A smiling face often covers a
sad heart,, and if the history of that
heart could be known human sympar
thy would be oftener given* What I
a heart-struggle there is to give up a
coveted object when duty commands.
The golden .apples may hang within
reach, bright, beautiful and attract¬
ive and every impulse is onward, but
duty says stay thy hand, then how
hard it is to obey. Then when the
wounded spirit passes through the
dark slough of despond who will
utter the cheering word of sympathy
and cast some light on a darkened
path-way ? A wound in the flesh
may be healed by the soothing balm
of a skillful physician, but who shall
heal the wounded spirit suffering un¬
der a loss, a cross or a disappoint¬
ment that none can know but those
that suffer it? A look or a kind
word may be as the gentle fanning
on the fevered brow, or the cooling
draft of water to the weary traveler
in a “dry and thirsty land where no
water is.” Who can measure the
electric touch of kindness in affliction
or bereavement, and how precious
the tone of sympathy in hours of sad
ness. It’s a fyend “that sticketh closer
than a brother” and comes to help
and cheer in the hour of need. The
divine injunction,” be kindly affec
tioned one to another,” if followed,
will make “the path of life brighter
and brighter unto the perfect day.”
ONE DOLLAR A YEAR,
STRIOTLY IN ADVANCE.
It contains one of the main elements
of human happiness. The wise will
cultivate this heaven-born feeling and
pluck the golden fruit from the tree
of life. Amicus.
WOMAN’S RELIEF.
“Earth has no sorrow that heaven
cannot heal,” whether arising from
physical, mental, or moral sources.
The promises and consolations of the
gospel furnished abundant remedies
for all spiritual or mental woes, and
the Creator has restored, in the kirn;
(lorn of Nature, remedies for every
physical ailment. For ages these
remedies were allowed to he dormant,
through the ignorance of mankind as
to their uses, and for ages more but
little attention was given to remedies
for the peculiar afflictions of woman,
who was looked upon and treated as
a slave by lordly, and then brutal
man, and her suffering regarded with
beastly indifference. In latter times,
science and Christian philanthropy
have come to her relief, devising
remedies for her peculiar weaknesses,
which have been combined in Dr.
Tierce’s Favorite Prescription, a tern
edy that cures the pains, aches, nau¬
sea, displacements, wasting and debit
itating afflictions to which she is con¬
stantly exposed. “Favorite Prescrip*
tion” is the only medicine for women,
sold by druggists, under a positive
guarantee from the manufacturers,
that it will give satisfaction in every
case, or money will be refunded.
This guarantee has been printed on
the lottle-wrapper, and faithfully car
tied out for many years.
