MAKING GOOD
My toy, y hi think tii all you have to

To catch the public eye and ear, then wo cast stones

You think one stroke sullieicnt for one
lifetime—maybe two;
That once n man i famous there is
nothing left to do.
1 hate to walte you, runny, from four

And keep your skill from drifting any
further down the stream,
But here's what I’ve discovered: He
who'ir done t ho heat he could
Is merely obligated just to keep on mak
ing good.
One little Might's a promise
spread your wings and r
One decent jobWii earnest that you’ll
do a thousand more;
One leaj) to public favor ia a pledge that
you will stay—
You can’t do Hint unless you make a
new marl; every day.
The jump you made to wealth and fame
will do less good than harm
If by your desultory stylo you prove n
"false alarm."
One well-directed arrow never made a
Robin Hood;
One winning stroke but binds you to tire
. * task of making good.
This world was not constructed for Hie
lazy man of dreams;
One flush is not. a nugget—gold is con
stant with its gleams;
The world keeps looking highnr than the
tho level you've attained
And think? you retrograding lib 'tis cer

every citizen to push forwnrd her

plead with all, whether victor ot

No standstill will it tolerate, slide hack,

After the Election—What?
The primary lias been -held and
in almost every instance the result
is conclusive. There is no room
for doubts or quibbling. The re
sults are surely not pleasing to ail,
but a majority have spoken and
we are a democratic people. Wc
are founded on the principle of
majority rule. If the results in the
recent election have gone to please
us let us conduct ourselves with
moderation and a spirit of full con
sideration for the feelings of others.
If wc have been disappointed we
should yield gracefully,to the will,
of the majority and let no spirit of
bitterness find place in our hearts.
After all this m ittur of elections
does note deserve all t he seriousness
with which we usually dignify it.
Friends and neighbors have many
tilings that are of so much more
importance to themselves and to
the community interest, that these
matters that loom so large seme-
time during a campaign should im
mediately be laid aside when the
result is known, and all fall in line
for striving to advance the common
good.
Wc trust that in Grady county
in particular that the inn Rot's of
the campaign will he allowed to
sink into a forgotten past without
any effort on the part of any one
to embalm them. Grady comity
stands at the threshnolil of great
things if we ns citizens will all
work together. And why should
we not. Is it any crime that
should keep us apart that wc have
not all had the same opinions as
concerning some man who is run
ning for office? We call upon Gra
dy county to let the dead past
bury its dciul. There is much
ahead of us for live men to do.
We must not be dragging dead
carcasses around with us if we are
.to do the work of men.
No doulT mistake^ have been
