“Naughty but nice” —$1,000,000. —
Life.
The Galveston News sensibly says:
“Let's make it more a business affair
and less of politics during 1893.”
Notwithstanding that ridiculous talk
before the election, Harry Hill's appli
cation for pardon has been refused by
Governor Atkinson.
Here is Sam Jones’ advice to pistol
toters: “Young man, if you’ve got a
pistol in your pocket and want to shoot
go home and kill a dog. I mean com
mit suicide.”
If perseverence will win, as wo are
told in the old blue-back speller, the
Constitution will make us believe after
awhile that there are better men than
Cleveland in the penitentiary and
smarter ones in the asylum.—Ogetborpc

“Old, yet ever new, and simple and
beautiful ever,” sings the post, in words
which might well apply to Ayer's Sar
saparilla—the most efficient and Bcien
tific blood-purifier ever offered to suf
fering humanity. Nothing but superi
or merit keeps it so long at the front.
The News says there is a man near
Jackson who has eighty-five bales of
cotton stored away under a shelter, and
he says it will stay tln-re, too, until the
price of cotton goes higher. That man
hss some right-band bowers in Henry
county—and it’s the only way the
country will ever get right.
It is claimed that cotton can now be
bought in Liverpool for deliveiy in Oc
tober and November uext for 4| cents.
Reader, if you wish to have cotton to
sell next fall you will do well to buy at
those figures, for you can not produce
it so cheaply as that on your farm. In
preparing their lands for the crop of
this year our farmers should take due
notice of these facts and govern them
selves accordingly.—Ex.
Cotton factories are coming to the
cotton fields rapidly. The determine
tion of the Massachusetts cotton mills
and the Dwight Manufacturing com
pany to erect mills in the South of
600,000 and 600,000 capital, respec
lively, as already been recorded in
the newspapers. The Whitter cotton
mills, of Lowell, have decided to es
tablished a cotton mill in Georgia, and
this mill will manufacture the same
line of goods as the mill in Lowell.
Recently at a meeting of the Col
ledge department of the teachers asso
siation of lowa resolutions were adopt
ed to stop foot hall playing by college
students. That was a sensible act of'
that association. The brutality attach
*ng to modern foot ball plays should
put an end to them. The foot ball and
base ball erase of late days will never
develop the grand and noble powers
with which God has endowed humani
ty to their full extent, correctly re
marks the Monroe Advertiser.
A drunken man interrupted Dr.
Tulmage iu church last Sunday. The
doctor took him for a text and preach
ed the best sermon of his life. Some
time ago a Georgia preacher iu oue of
the rural districts was iuterrupted iu
that way. He sized up his man, and
when the services were concluded
sought him out and gave him such a
drubbiug that he waa laid up for a
week. He did not preach a sermon on
him until the next Suuday, when it
came very near being a funeral sermon.

Make Your Own Town.
A writer wlio evidently kuows wliat
he is talking about, gives this whole
some advice, which is always good for
any kind of a town :
“If you want your town to improve,
improve it. If you want to make your
town lively, make it. Don’t go to
sleep, but get up and work for it, talk
about it and talk favorably. If you
have property, improve it. Taint your
houses, clean up your alleys and back
yards. Make your surroudings pleas
ant and you will feel better and your
property will be worth more iu the
market. If you are d ing reasonably
well advise your friends to come and
invest near you. Work steadily f r
your home interests. Trade at home ;
help your home dealers. Keep your
Lmoney at home as much as possible.
