Talk Up Your Town.
It is the duty of every citizen to
speak a good word for his town. That
is the way that places acquire prom
iueuce. The wonder is often express
ed why some town with great natural
advantages does not rise to a higher
prominence. The reason is always to
be found in the lack ol public spirited
ness of its people. On the other hand
that are sadly delicient in natural at
tractions forge their way to the front
aud ate constantly before the public.
The reason is obvious. They are
blessed with plucky people who never
miss an opportunity to put the town
forward in its fairest light aud the re
sult is that it soon becomes known far
and wide as a busy center and the
abidiug place of a progressive people.
Individuals devoid of many of the nat
ural advantages that belong to the av
erage mau frequently astonish the world
by the grandeur of their accomplish
ments. It is the same way with com
munities.
In fact communities are only aggre
gations of individuals and display the
characteristics of those who go to make
them up. If the people are of the
right stamp there need never he any
doubt a 3 to the future of the town. If
it is without railroad facilities the peo
ple go to work and secure them. If it
be lacking in manufacturing industries
the people sectye such as are necessary
to give employment to those in nedd of
it, and so with every other line.
Speak a good word for your town
on every occasion. Study its advan
tages, and if tliere is anything that de
tracts from it try to make the good fea
tures so far overbalance the bad that
people will consider its deficiencies as
immaterial. This can be done by
magnifying your own advantages and
theu by determining to overcome ev
erything that it is objectionable. Stick
to your town. You will never lose
anything by being loyal to your peo
pie.
Did you ever stop to think wbat in
digestion really means? It means sim
ply that your stomach is tired. If our
legs are tired, we ride. The horse

Why not g ; ve your stomach a ride;

Shakers themselves have such unbouud

placed 10 cent sample bottles on the

small a quantity proves beneficial in a

Longest Walk on Kecord.
The longest walk on record is per
haps that one which has been finished
by George Huntsinger, of Lumpkin
county. Twenty five years ago he
was employed as inspector by the Ya
hoola Hydraulic Company to daily
inspect their supply pipe. This pipe
carries water from the Yahoola river
to the gold fields, a distance of twenty
four miles. It was Huntsinger’s duty
to walk down the lenght of this pipe
one day and back the next. For twen
ty five years, in bad weather as well as
good, the faithful inspector has walke!
to and fro upon his solitary round.
Ha concluded to give up the job owing
to his old age, upon the completion of
his twenty fifth year of service. This
he did, having to bis credit a walk of
! 35,500 miles.

The following beautiful tribute is
taken from the Home Tribune:
“It is only secoud to the church of
Christ, and approaches that very close
ly, because it is fouuded on the same
tjreat underlying principles of the uni
versal brotherhood of God.
“To fully appreciate the beauty ol
its teachings aud the sublfmity of its
faith, a man must be familiar with the
inner work of Masonry. And yet we
are constantly reminded of the benefi
eeut influences of Masonry through
its public charity, its care of sick and
destitute brethren, and the high moral
rectitude of all good and true members
of the order. Were every lodge in the
woild suppressed and every member
ship dispersed, still would men treas
ure its tenets and teachings in their
he rts.
“It teaches that supreme faith in
God, which is the comfort aud stay of
maukiud in every walk and relation of
life. It teaches men to love one an
other and to consider all men born
equal, claiming ouo Fatherland in the
supreme Architect of the Uuiverse. It
is the most democratic of all institu
• ions, as all meet on equality within
the bauds of Free Masonry. It places
every member under the solemn obli
gation to comfort the distressed aud
care for the widows aud orphans of
such as have passed beyond the sphere
of mortal helpfulness.
“Go where you may, in every land
under the sun, and even among the
remote islauders of the sea, you will
fiud the light of Masonry illumining
the lives of meu with that sacred ra
diance which comes through the love
of God aud the observance of the re
quirements and obligations of the an
cient order. It has existed from time
immemorial in spite of ignorance, su
perstition, bigotry, oppression aud per
secutiou, and it will live so long as
there remains a man ou earth who
recognizes the brotherhood of man and
fatherhood of God.”

Tlie Retort Genial.
A Southern woman who is now past
her prime, but whose ready wit still
makes her a welcome guest wherever
she goes, tells the following story about
an encounter with what sbe terms a
“nothern iceburg;” She was at a musi
cal entertainment at a private house in
New York, and at the end of a song
which had been delightfully rendered
she turned with an exclamation of
pleasure io a lady who sat near, and
whom she knew by sight, but had
never met the lady.
The woman addressed looked at her
in surprise for a moment and then ask
ed coldly, “Have I the pleasure of
knowing you?”
“No,” was the answer, “but I felt at
liberty to speak to you oo account of
your being under such very great obli
gation to me.”
“Well you have the goodness to ex
plain what you mean?” said the New
York woman haughtily.
“Merely that I refused your husband
25 years ago,” replied the little south
erner as sbe moved away to seek a
more congenial atmosphere.—New
York Press.
Outwitting a Judge.
A strarig4 story is related of a jury
man who outwitted a judge, and that
without lying. He ran into court in a
desperate hurry and quite out of breath
and exclaimed:
“Oh judge, if you can, pray excuse
me! I don’t know which will die first,
my wife or my daughter.”
‘•Dear me that’s sad,” said the inno
cent judge. “Certainly, you are ex
excused.”
The next day the juryman was met
by a friend, who, in a sympathetic
voice, asked:
“How is your wife?”
“She's all right, thank you.”
“And your daughter?”
“She’s all right, too. Why do you
ask?”
“Why yesterday yon said you did
not know which would die first.”
“Nor do I. That is the problem
which time alone can solve.”—Ex.

SAM JONKS ON TAXES.
He Thinks the People of Georgia Are
Burdened by Kxcessive Taxes.
Webster defiles taxes as a “pecu
niarv burden which is imposed bv au
thority, or a levy of any kind made
upon the property for the support of
the government.” He also defines the
word to mean "a disagreeable or bur
densomo duty or charge.” 'He also
defiues it as a “lesson to be learned,”
and makes it synonym >us with the
words “duty, ’ “toil,”
“rate,” “custom,” “ demand* ” The
common import of the word *‘tax” or
“taxes” as understood by the inasses is
the amount of money paid to, the tax
collector of nation, state, county or
city annually for the privilege of exist
ing in that neck of the woods and the
privilege of jwniug something other
than as agent for your wife. But un
derneath all this there is a tacit under
stauding or compact which is but au
unwritteu law that the government
proposes to do certain things for the
people and in return the government
is to receive for such services a certain
amount of money, such as is equitable
and right. If a man does not pay bis
taxes to the government he is not con
sidered a good citizen or loyal to his
government, and the government will
sell him out of house and hotne. The
government makes him comply with
his part of the agreement. The gov
ernmeut proposes on its part' to guar
antee to every man his life, bis liberty
and the enjoyment of his prosperity at
the least possible cost to the citizen. A
government has no more right to over
charge for services rendered than an
individual has to overcharge another
individual for servicos rendered; aud l
declare it to be the honest copviction of
my mind that the governments, both
national, state aud municipal, are de
frauding the people.
EXTUACTING HEAVY DUTIES.
They are extracting more from the
people in the way of taxes than they
give services in return, and a dislion
est government will breed dishonest
citizens. The ?jjxes upon
the people today are a common source
of perjury on the part of the people,
for no one man in a hundred would sell
his property for double what he swears
it is worth upon the tax books of our
couutry. If the immense amount of
money require to run this government
is demanded hy economical administra
tion and expenditures aud the burden
of taxes rests equally upon the people
and they are paying more taxes tbau
they are able to do, then we need an
other system of government. Five
hundred milliou dollars annually to run
the national government, and an equal
amount in proportion for the state aud
municipal governments, bespeaks an
extravagance that will break aud bank
rupt any people in the world.
The national government raises its
taxes through its system of revenues.
There is no sheriff to levy ou a man’s
home or land to pay the government
revenue, but the governments of states
and municipalities fix a date at which
yon must settle or the sheriff will sell
you out.
These immense appropriations by
the nation, by the state and by the
municipalities are generally the result
of lobbyists in congress and in legtsla
litres, among countilmen and alder
men. A lobbyist is a thing of the
devil. It is an evil thing and an evil
continually. Talk about railroad lob
byists and trusts and combines lobbying.
The lobbyists for all these things have
never been more indefatigable, bold and
unscrupulous than many of the lobby
ists who work and wait about legisla
tive halls to get appropriations for a
school or to create additional offices for
hungry demagogues to fill and draw
their pay. Talk to me about econo
my. Think of a man who stints bis
family on both bread and clothes, who
lives hard and saves all he can, simply
that the tax collector may pick it up at
the end of the year. It is a burlesque
on civil liberty and freedom, aud a
death blow to honesty for a govern
ment of any Bort to burden the people
with taxes and grind them down while
the political economists and philoso
phers are preaching and teaching
economy to the people.
UNPAID TANKS IN OEOItOIA
I have said it, aud 1 stick to it, that
if the business men and property own
ers of the country do not turn their at
tention more to the politics of this
country and do not quit tbeir business
on days of election and vote and work
for men who are wise and tree and just
to enforce the laws of this country and
judiciously legislate for right, the gang
will run things until liquidation will
end in communism and confiscation I
know wliat lam talking about. There
are more unpaid taxes today at the
closing of the books in Georgia thau in
any other period iu the history of our
state. Iliese unpaid taxes will issut
into executions, aud many a matt this
year will have his property sold because
he is unable to raise the money to pay
the burdensome taxes, and yet in the
midst of these hardest tiukts that we
have ever seen, both nation and state
are runniug up their appropriations
until the alarmiug condition of things
calls for the must heroic reseutmeut on
the part of the people.
Talk to me about government by the
people, of the people aud for the peo
ple. It is a government by officehold
ere, of officeholders and for officehold
ers. Public trust means public spoils.
Feather your own nest and feather the
nest of every fellow that helped put
yon where you could feather your own
nest. I am not familiar with taxation
in all states, but I declare it to bo a
fact that I know I own as much prop
erty in mouey value in Kentucky as I
do Geotgia, aud yet the state of Ken
tucky taxes me normally $95. In
■Georgia ou property that is not so val
uable iu dollars aud cents the taxes are
•S2JS. Why should the stale and
county taxes iu Georgia be three times
as much as in Kentucky? In Ken
tucky they have assessors; in Georgia
we give it in and value it. Then talk
about immigration, and the tide setting
this way, aud all that sort of tom-fool
ery. One milliou six hundred thousand
dollars to public schools in Georgia, be
sides appropriations to the state col
leges, literary and technological. God
knows that I want every hoy aud girl
in this laud to have a good English ed
ucation, but 1 believe that no man has
the right to enter his children into free
schools to be educattd by the state un
less he first takes a legal oath that he
is not able to educate them himself.
Just as is the case with a poor man
when a verdict is reudered against him
in court iu a civil case. He swears
that he is not able to pay the costs, aud
lie can appeal to higher courts without
the payment of costs. Make every
mau school, feed and cloth < his own
children if he is able to do it, and if he
is uot able to do it let him show bis
disability with a recorded oath that
such is the case. Ino more believe io
public schools to graduate a hoy or
girl iu Latin, French, Hebrew and
Greek than I believe iu public clothing
establishments and millinery shops to
dress every hoy and girl in this coun
try in broadcloths, silks aud satin. We
have got more literary meu thau we
have places for them to fill, and you
have got more pegs than you have boles
to put them iu, aud when vou have
more pegs than boles to put them iu
some of the pegs will lie around aud
rot.
TAX BURDENED PEOPLE SAY 80.
I kn ow that every man who has lob
hied (or an appropriation will sneer at
what I have said in this article. If all
the pap suckers and pot politicians in
this country disagree with me then I
know lam right. This much I know:
That hundreds of thousands of tax
burdened tax riddened people will say
that lam right. And I do not care
what any man or set of men may say.
I will stand alone in the midst of the
70,000,000 people of the United States
and spea'r the honest convictions of my
mind. We have got to call a halt or
stop this sniveling, whining talk about
economy. I believe in the brains and
backbone of a state and nation run
ning that state and nation. I do not
believe that the man who labored and
toiled and accumulated should be left
to the mercy of those who neither fur
nish coal for the furnace, water for the
boiler, or grease for the journals. The
gang that hangs on to the platforms
and steps and crawls luto box cars and

Congressman Johu Allen and a Tramp
In a Railroad wreck.
Private Johu Allen, of Mississippi,
is uot an advocate of couvictiou ou cir
cumstantial evidence. Mr. Allen was
a passenger on the Southern train that
came near being wrecked on the bridge
east of Birmingham, but was averted
by the rate presence of mind of Engi
neer Hawes, who brought his train to
a standstill just as the pilot hung two
feet into space off of the high bridge.
Mr. Allen was iu the rear sleeper, and
on passing out to see what had happen
ed he discovered a tramp, who had
been stealing a ride on top of the sleep
er getting down and preparing to take
to take to the woods.
“Where are you going,” hailed Mr.
Allen.
“I am goiug to get out of this,” re
sponded the tramp. “If the train
crew catch me hero they will abuse
me, and I prefer taking chances on
the next train.”
“Come back here," cried Mr. Allen,
excitedly. “You fool, you, don't you
know the officials will be here within
an hour to investigate the cause of this
trouble and nine to one they uiay
bring with them a pack of bloodhounds
to trail down the culpi it. Then what
will become of you?
Suppose those dogs should strike
your trail leading off from here aud
you should be captured? You would
be swung to a limit iu short order.
C'ome back in this train; this is no time
for a tramp to put his life in jeopar
dy!”
This tramp crawled back in the
sleeper aud Private John Allen, turn
ing to a fellow passenger, remarked:
“I don’t believe in conviction on cir
cumstantial evidence no way.”—Bir
mingham State Herald .
The secret of a speedy cure in sick
ness lies in selecting the proper reme
dy and this is difficult to do unless one
is sure what the ailment is. But one
thing is sure, had the liver been ac
tively at work sickness could not have
come. It is then always safe to take
Simjnous Liver Regulator which keeps
the liver well regulated aud all poison
expelled from the system.
It haviug been Btated lately in the
Eugiish powers that Queen Victoria
has been a total abstainer for several
years, somebody has deemed it worth
while to investigate the important mat
ter, and now this announcement is
made: “Her Majesty drinks little
wine, but at 2 o’clock lunch —which
really constitutes her diuDer—her bev
erage is a glass of weak Scotch whisky
and mineral water. At dinner her
Majesty does little more than merely
touch her wine.”

Young men, you should honor and
respect your father and mother. They
have done more for you iu your time
of help and needlessuess than any oth

you should care for them tenderly.
Father Time has scattered flakes of
snow on their brow and pillowed deep
furrows in their cheeks; their lips are
thin and sunkeu and their eyes are
growing dim, but those same lips have
kissed many a hot tear from you child

with a self radiance of holy love which
can never fade.

“Please, Gov’nor, will you show me
wbar Missus Davis are stanin’—point
her out to me?”
The Governor looked at the negro
a m .ment, and seeing the trembling
eagerness in his wrinkled face, cour
