THE NEW YEAR.
A new ye ir, not simply another year.
Many people may be said to live the
same old year over and over again.
Each succeeding year is the same unit
added once more to the sum of life.
I here is the same task performed, iu
the same spirit, with the same motive;
the same imperfections of character,
the same failures of conduct. The
times may change and progress hasten
but if we stand still, we live only the
old year once again. A new year
never comes to the contented ox; he
simply grows old. It is not the lapse
or the progress of civilization, but our
progress, which makes possible to us a
new year.
***
A happy New Year ! What does it
mean? Are not these words often
thrown out as a greeting without
thought or depth of meaniog? Is it a
year iu which to ourselves come wealth
and health, prosperity and friendship;
one spent in the pursuit of fleeting
pleasure aud filled with self centered
interest? No! Rather let tho wish be
to each and aii, as the new year dawns
with all its opportunities, that the days
of 1896 may be well spent—filled with
thought and sympathy for those
around; that in self forgetting and
kindly deeds the happiness of others
may be ever sought, and then most tru
ly will each act rebound again in joy
and blessing to the heart from which it
springs.
If you wish to avoid one fruitful
cause of ctscomfort during the coming
year, make a resolution not to grumble
about the weather. Kicking and fault
tiudiDg never made a hot day cooler or
a cold day warmer; but, on the other
hand, they always intensify the cur
rent weather trouble immensely.
If you want to make your husband
good natured, resolve to help him to
have his own way invariably. He
probably will anyhow, and the adop
tion aud carrying out of this resolution
will save a whole lot of trouble.
If your wife has got in the habit of
asking you for every day, re
solve to make her a regular allowance
and thlj'%eep your resolution. You’ll
be as rip? by the result 1 'as
she will b.*y the resolution.
If you have become disheartened by
the depravity of your fellow men, re
solve to stop thinking about it and try
to do a favor every day to some one of
them. It will amaze you to see how
quickly the world at large will improve
in your eyes.
If the new year finds you clean dis
couraged because of a lack of progress
in 1895, review the 12 months careful
ly and see if wasted time has not been
at the bottom of your failures, if it
has, resolve to make the minutes count
in 1896. A year is made up of min
utes, aud you cannot well fail to ad
vance between New Tear’s days if you
make every minute couut.
If you have had hard work keeping
your New Year’s resolutions in the
past, resolve this year to make none
and to conduct yourself in such a way
that none will be necessary. Good
practice is better than good resolves al
ways.

The Ideal Panacea.
James L. Francis, Alderman, Chica

Discovery as an Ideal Panacea for
Coughs, Colds and Lung Complaints,
having used it in my family for the last
five years, to the exclusion of physi
cian’s prescriptions or other prepara
tions.”
Rev John Burgus, Keokuk, lowa,
writes: “I have been a Minister of

such Bpeedy relief as Dr. King’s New

McDonough, ga.. Friday, January a, i hdo.
A Handsome Present.
Mr. Thos. I). "Stewart received a
handsome gold headed cane from the
McDonough Methodist Sunday School,
as a Christmas gift, in token of the love
and esteem in which he was held as
superintendent of the school by teach
ers and pupils—aud it is useless to say
was highly appreciated by Mr Stewart.
It was presented at the Christmas
tree, by Mr J Q Nolan, in the fol
lowing eloquent language:
‘‘l am called upon to-night to per
form a duty that is pleasant, and yet
surrounded with complications I love
peace rather than strife ; 1 love teuder
uess rather I ban harshness; in reading
history, I admire the philanthropist
more than the warrior; I love the sun
shine of a smile rather than the tear
drop of a sorrow-storm; I love the
sweet carols of the song-bird rather
than piercing shrieks of the bird of
prey; I had rather apply a kiss of
sympathy and pardon to the the rosy
cheek of a curly-headed child than to
apply the rod of correction to its back.
But duty must be done, and so dis
liking chastisement ever so much, I
must proceed in response to the de
mands of Methodist Sabbath School to
cane brother T. D. Stewart—and to
notify him that as he would not stick
to them, they are determined to stick
to him ; claiming also that in your res
ignation you raised Cain for them, and
in retaliation they have raised cane
for you.
History has its catalogue of heroes—
human treasures of all times and
climes ; but long ages ago, a shepherd
boy lying alone beneath the mellow
skies that hung above, watching the
sheep as they feasted in eagerness upon
the opulence of the Midtan hill, be
cause restless under the swelling im
pulses that heaved his burdened heart
as he thought of the trials, hardships
and bondage of his countrymen as they
groaned over the brick kilns of Egypt.
Looking up, he saw the Bush of Ho
reb blushing in beauty before the pres
ence of its God, and heaid the voice of
the “Great I am” saying to him, “take
thy staff and appear at the court of
Pharaoh, and through its wonders and
powers I will make him release my
people,” The staff he bore signalled
the royalty of a sovereign who embod
ied every element of greatness, and
made him exceed in the brilliance of
his carreer all other sovereigns of
earth, as the sun outshines the wan
dering, aimless fire-fly. With it he
parted the waters of the red sea and
led his people to the land that flowed
with milk and honey.
May this staff become to you as sa
cred and magical as that of Moses, and
may you, looking into the blazing light
of Calvary, catch the voice of God aud
feel that inspiration and authority that
will cause you to face the courts of
Satan and release the people from the
bondage of sio, aud roll back the wa
ters of many a Red sea of difficulty aud
doubt, and lead others into that Canaan
of soul that floweth with the milk and
honey of perpetual puiity and peace.
The hand of age will ere long feel
heavy as it rests upou your wasting form
and as you rest upon this cane for
physical strength, aud as it supports
your failing frame, remember that just
so are the love, prayers and tenderest
recollections ot our Suoday School
supporting your success aud happiness
for time aud eternity.
Iu remembrance of your fidelity, ef
ficiency and zeal as superintendent for
so many years, I have pleasure of
presenting this cane to you, with the
love, esteem, appreciation aud tender
est recollections of your kind services.
Not a few who read what Mr.
Robert Rowls, of Hollands, Va., has
to say below, will remember their own
experience under like circumstances :
"Last winter I had la grippe which
left me in a low state of health. I
tried numerous remedies, none of which
did me any good, until I was induced
to try a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy. The first bottle of it so far
relieved me that I was enabled to at
tend to my work, and the second bottle
effected a cure.” For sale at 25 and
50 cents per bottle by medicine dealers.
Thirty years ago J. B. Garrison, of
Plant City, Fla , a machinist, rau a
small sliver of steel into his right hand
at the base of the thumb. The wound
was treated and finally healed, the
doctor saying that the steel bad been
expelled. But ever since that time
Garrison has suffered with severe pains
in his right arm, which he attributed
to rheumatism. Recently the pains
became very'’acute in his right shoul
der. He went to a doctor, and the
doctor drew from just under the skin
ol his shoulder the reel sliver tl at had
eutered his hand in 18*5.
J.T. OGLESBY BANQUETED,
A Grand Ovation to the Distinguished
Guest.
Last Saturday evening nearly sixty
of Valentine’s most prominent and in
fluential men, regardless of their polit
ical beliefs or affiliations, atteuded a
banquet at the White honor
of Col. J. T. Oglesby. Col. jOgleshy
came here from McDcsouNp/ Georgia,
August 6, 1893, under appointment of
the present democratic administration
as Indian receiving and shipping clerk
at this place aud succeeded in the
duties of that office as our own J. Wes-
Tucker. During all this time he con
ducted the affairs of his office iu a
satisfactory manner and at all times
has conducted himself iu a manner id’
cumbeut upon all men oo good citizen
ship, and made frieuds by the score.
He not only made friends but wou the
hearts of our people who hold him in
the highest esteem and admiration
Our citizens never met a truer friend
or more loyal citizen than Col. Oglesby.
He came among us a perfect stranger
hut departed a friend aud brother, he
of southern soil and we of northern i
heritage, bound together under the
common ties of one country and one
flag. Blessed be this grand privilege !
C. R. Grover, receiver of the U. S.
land office at this place, we r
as toast master and after a' Oonlul T
repast had been served the happy
crowd was entertained by speeches and
toasts from these called on, among
whom were Judge Walcott, C. II Cor
nell, J. A. Fike, U. O. Anderson, J. T.
Keeley, J. H. Quigley and M Chris
tenson.
In answer to the toast, “Our former
enemy,” J. Wesley Tucker added to
his long list of excelleut speeches one
of the most loyal, patriotic and best
efforts of his life, which will long snr
vive him and forever be stamped iudel
ibly upon the minds of those who had
the honor aud pleasure of being within
the sound of his voice, a good aud val
uable lesson.
J. A. Carroll, of Brunswick, Geor
gia, successor to Col. Ogii-sby, in aus
wer to the toast, “A A 8
strange land,” made impression
upou the minds of our people, and
caused all to feel that "there is no east,
no west, no north, no south, but one
great, grand and glorious country,"
over which floats but one flag and that
the emblem of the most loyal and pa
triotic nation on earth.
Col. Oglesby responded to the elo
quent eulogies in a manner that con
vinced his many friends that every
word he spoke came from the heart
and that he regretted much to depart
from among them.
Col. Oglesby departed tho next
morning to enter upon bis duties as
special Indian agent, to which position
he was recently promoted, and carries
with him the best wishes of our citi
zens.—Valentine Republican.

Editor Morrison of Worthington,
Ind., “Hun,” writes: ‘"You have a
valuable prescription iu Electric Bitters

An interesting story comes from
Williamport, Pa., about a woman who
is a victim of coffee. Dr. W. P Logue
attended her and found that she drank
twenty cups of coffee daily. She is a
complete wreck and found her uncon
scious from the bffects of the narcotic
poisoning She said she fried to stop
drinking coffee and substituted twenty
cups of tea every day. She eats but 8
trifle and depends almost wholly upon
the beverage for sustenance. The
doctor does not know whether she can
recover.

About Womack.
j It seems that Emmett Womack re
tains the same proclivities for making
friends aud creating popularity in the
nation’s capital as he possessed w hile
solicitor of this circuit. W i clip ti e
following from a Washington corns
poudont:
“Judge E-nmet Womack, the chief
clerk of the interior department, is a
very popular igan in Washington. j
lie makes friends easilv and after he I
makes them never lets them go His j
talents as an entertainer and speaker
have however, beeu kuown only »o his
Georgia friends, uut!T recently, when
he was invited to recite before the Po
tomac Literary Society.
He first tried “Jim Bludsoe,” and
for an encore gave them “Li tie
Breeches.” The judge’s audience by
this time was in an enthusiastic state,
anil they forced him as a to
tell some of his Georgia “stories.”
Tho sequel is that Womack entirely
captured the club and it ruse instauter
and made him a member. He is down
on the program for more stories at the
next meeting. Georgians who have
heard him on the stump—and their
number is large—can easily understand
how it was that he made sucli a decided
hit.”
A Grave Offense.
Ichabod my b y, me thought I beard
you speak to your sire this morning hs
“the old man.” You are 17 years of
age are you not? Just so! This is
the age when callow youth has his
first attack of tfwj big head. You ima
giue at this moment you know it all.
I observe by the cut of your trousers
and the angle of your hat, the flavor
of your breath, and the style of your
tooth pick shoes, and the swagger of
your walk, that you are goue ou your
self. This is an error of youth which
your uncle cau overlook, but it pains
him sore to hear you speak iu terms of
disrespect of one should never mention
save by the sacred name of “father.”
He may not be up to your style in the
modern art of making a fool of your
self, but. ten to one, he forgets more
in a week thau you will ever know.
He may not enjoy smoking gutter
snipes, chopped find and iuclosed in a
deiiCiTfe tissue paper, but he has borne*
a good many hard knocks for your sake
and is entitled to all the reverence
your shallow brain can muster. Hy
and by, after you are through knowing
it all, and begin to learn something,
you will be ashamed to look in the
glass, and will wonder where the fool
killer kept himself when you were
ripe with sacrifice. And when “the
old man” grows tired of the journey
and stops to rest and you fold his hands
across his bossom and take a last look
at the face that has grown beautiful in
death you will feel a sting of regret
that you ever spoke of him in so gross
ly disrespectful a manner, and when
you hear other sprouts of imbecility
using the laugu ige that so delighted
you in the germinal period of man
hood, you will feel like chasing their
skulls to see if there is any brain tis
sue ou the inside.
If we could trace Dyspepsia to its
source, it woul i lead back to our kitch
ens. In fact, the secret of good health
is good cooking. If well cooked, foods
are partially digested; if poorly cooked
they are less digestible than in their
raw state. If you are a victim of
faulty cookiug; this is, if you suffer
from Dyspepsia, the rational cure must
be looked for in an artificially digested
food, and a food which will at the same
time aid the digestion of other foods.
Such a preparation virtually rests the
tired digestive organs, thereby restor
ing them to tin ir natural strength.
The Digestive Cordial, as prepared
by the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, is
just such a preparation, and a single 10
cent bottle will cooviuce you of its
value. If your druggist doesn’t keep
it, he will be glad to get it through his
wholesale house.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
FLOOD SWEPT.
Towns Submerged, and Millions of
Property Washed Away.
Eldon, Mo., Dec. 29.—The un
precedented rise in the Osage River of
thirty-five feet in thiye days has spread
dtvastaliou over all this section, and
many farmers have lost everything
they possessed. Tho flood lias taken
all that lay iu tho low lands. Not
only have many of the farmers lost
their crops, but their stock and build
ings as well.

At I'uscumbia. the county seat of
Miller, nearly the entire town is under
water. Only the roofs of many build
ings, the Post Office among them, can
be seen. A large flour mill, the print
ing office of the Eye Opener, and sev
eral small stores and residences are
entirely submerged. The loss to
property iu this immediate section is
estimated at $2,000,000. The river is
higher even than during the famous
Hood of 1844. The suffering of Un
people whose land and property have
been devastated will undoubtedly he

I here was trouble in the laundry o£
Wah Hoop, other wise known as Jim
Lee, at Mt Morris, N. Y., the other
day. A skunk got into his kitchen ou
Chapel street. Now Wah Hoop is out
of business. So is the skunk.
When the proprietor first set eyes on
the pretty thing he didn’t know what
it was. He thought it was pretty and
he started to fondV.it. Theu a quar
rel came. Hot "tears were shed.
They were shed by Wah Hoop. The
skunk did not weep. Wah Hoop wept.
Then he shied a chopstick at the in
vader of his domestic peace and collar
and cuff emporium. 'Then he wished
he was back in Cathay. *‘You can’t
play in my yard,” said he. Then he
tired another chop stick at the intruder,
likewise a tin dipper, a starch bowl and
a Chinese almanac. Then he said
“dlam.”
liy this lime a crowd of small boys
had gathered at the window to see the
fun. They liked it. 80 did several
grown up boys who came along just
then. One mau who had not been
known to smile in forty-live years grin
ned and slapped his knee and said it
was the best fun he had seen siuce he
was a boy. Wah Hoop climbed on
the bed and theu he got down and
climbed ou the table. He looked to
ward the door, but it was guarded by
the skunk. He looked toward the
window, but it was shut.
Then lie said words in rapid succes
sion which Bob lugersoll says do not
mean anything. But they meant
something to Wah Hoop. Next to
the monologue of expletives in his own
language, which helped him to pass
away the time, they expressed his sen
timents as he wanted them expressed.
