Nature teaches us to love our friends, religion our enemies. If men could rise from their graves and read their own epitaphs most of them would think they were in the wrong grave. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself. An idle man in a community is more dangerous to it than a thief. “Keep your eyes wide open be fore marriage and half shut after." A womans’s idea of a crank is the man who doesn’t like her. — Many a men thinks he’s dig nified when ne’s only stiff —anu some wemen. There isn’t much sweetness in a smile that “won’t come off.” The program at Hickory Flat Friday afternoon was highly en joyed by quite a number o! friends and patrons. One ot the most interesting features was that of the debate, Subject being, “Resolv ed that war has done and is doing more harm than intemperance.” The affirmative side won. We hardly know which has done most harm, but the affirmitive papers held a br ght light.
