God and natuieare against the man who tries to live without work. There is no promise in the Bible for the man who is lazy, no matter whether he wears a preacher’s coat or a farmer’s straw hat. Traveling through a thicket of thorns is a slow and painful way, but it is roy al pathway compared to the one the loafer chooses for himself. God’s promise of seed time and har vest is only for those who are willing to work. Train up your child in idleness, and you start him toward the gallows. Harvest will never come for the man who will not get out of bed to plow and plant “The way of tde sloathful man is an hedge of thorns, but the way of the righteous (industrious) is made plain.

It is understood that this meeting will endorse the; names of par ties who will have already been selected by their respective wards for aldermen; and also nominate a mayor. The Her ald will support the nominees so made to the best of its ability. Personally, the editors of this paper do not hesitate to declare tjieir prefferencc for A. M. Knight for mayor, and will support him by their votes in the convention. How ever, should our candidate not be the nominee, we will cbeerfnlly support the man that is nominated.
