The naval achievements of the
Japanese only substantiate the
fact that they are among the
most progressive nations of the
earth.
New York state has named
Judge Alton B. Parker as the
Democratic nominee for Presi
dent and it only now remains for
the other states to fall in line.

A Swiss watchmaker has in

nearly equal to the tongue of a

The editor of an exchange
o
finds himself in tins soldiquy:
u r Two things puzzle us. First,
will the blackbery crop be up to
the usual standard, and second,
how on earth we are to live un
til it comes in.
The election recently held in
Worth county to decide whether
or not the court house should
be removed to S\ lvester from
Isabella is being warmly contest
ed. The election went in favor
of removal, and the opposing
forces are now contesting the
election.
There seems to be quite con
siderable concern over the state
as to the wisdom ot having the
judges and solicitors general of
thegSuperior courts elected by
the people. We cant see but
what the people have the same
right to say who shall adminis
ter their laws as they have to
say who shall enact them.
The Valdosta Times is respon
sible for this:
a Who dares to say there is no
efficacy in prayers? A Kansas
hotel keeper earnestly prayed
that the Lord might deereas his
troubles and that very night his
wife ran away w>th a traveling
man. His faith in the efficiency
of prayer is now as firm as the
rock of ages. *»
Not for many years past have
the farmers of the state set about
their year’s work with environ
ments so hopeful, so
ing and pleasant. Last year’s
high prices for cotton,
with their fair crops of
necessities, place them this
with an even start, if not
ahead. With good crops
year and a fair price for cotton,
(which we predict will not
less than 10 cents for several
years to come—mark the
tion) they will have cause to
joice at the time of harvest
fall, and we trust that their
ery hope, to the tiniest one,
be realized.
Beautiful, Blushing Flowers.
The editor is the recipient of a
beautiful bunch of fragrant roses
presented by an esteemed young
lady friend for which we wish to
retuFn thal,ka alld express m a

While we gaze at them now in

to better days, when the world
seemed brighter and less fraught
with sorrow, when gladness and
sunshine would come shimmering
across our pathway and the fabled
chalice of earthly happiness
seemed poised for a brief moment
at our lips only to fall and lip
shattered at our feet.
How these gentle reminders of
the Creator’s greatness and good
ness can lift memory’s veil, •, Open
up the heartstrings and send out
pulsing back into the days of
long ago!
And as they carry us bach
through a vista of years, how the
golden moments of dead and for
gotten days flit before us in
varied parade, and we pause
to drop a t ear of regret here where
we have given pain to some loved
one or neglected to perform 1 some
sacred obligation . which has ell
tailed sorrow or suffering, ° or we
Wistfully ' gather crumbs of com
fort there where we have let fall
an occasional tiny
kind word or perhaps a tender

loved one we have lostl
And how sod to have to let
these memories fade and
back into the past as will
blossoms fade and pass away,

We thank you, young
for your beautiful flowers and
lesson they bring, and trust
the gladness of your smile
the cheerfulness of your
tion may ever carry with
the same blessings as does
beautiful, blushing rose.

tion. Again, friend, or fien d
let us beseech of you to return
that pipe.—Cairo Messenger.
We sympathize with our bi oth
er, for he who steals a country
editor’s purse, steals trash, but
he who steals his sure-enough
Meerschaum pipe deserves the
extent of the law. But, by the
way, how came a poor editor
with a real meerschaum pipe?
The usual pipes used by the
guild are mere shams!—Bain
bridge Argus. The pipe was
the genuine article alright
enough, but sakes alive! man,
don’t ask such << pinted” ques
tions as to where we gpt i t. Any
j way she seems to have gone
glimmering; we havent heard of
it yet.
