Don’t Be Mean.
An exchange say a mean man
is the most hateful creature on the
face of the earth, and a selfish
man is mean wherever you find
him.
One of the best evidence of
meanness is' displayed in a man
who, when approached by some
public spirited citizen for the
support of some public enterprise,
asks “will it cost anything ?” He
manifests still a meaner spirit
when he tells that citizen who is
trjdng to build up the town and
help the very fellow he is talking
to that he does not propose to take
any part in it because somebody
is always coming around begging
for something and that he is con¬
tinually having to pay out his
money to help along something he
gets nothing out of.
Indeed! what a sorry citizen
you are, dear friend. You don’t
know where your living comes
from. You really don’t know
what you do “get anything out of,’
as you say. You are too blind
and too narrow to see what is
helping suppoit your business,
build your home yonder, feed and
clothe your little children who
dignify you with the fond name
of “papa.” You are the biggest
fool that, walks the sidewalks of
your town, and if you had your
way, there wouldn’t be any side¬
walks. because vou don’t get
“anything out of them.”
Yen don’t see any need in church¬
es, close up the schools, annul the
statutes, because you don’t “get
anything out of them.” You don’t
see any use in flowers, you would
chop them up and plant corn in
the front yard if your wife should
consent because you don’t “get
anything out of them.” You de¬
spise music, you hate books, you
won’t read the newspapers, and
this very article which is intended
for you will never reach your sor¬
did, shriveled atomic brain unless
OFFICIAL ORGAN OF WORTH COUNTY.
Ashbum, Ga., Saturday JuneiO, 1090.
your liberal neighbor holds you
by your coat lappel and rams it
down you because he knows you
are such a mean man.
Don’t you see that the school ed¬
ucates people to build better
houses, to raise better crops, to
manufacture better goods, to
bring more money into your town
to help you ? Don’t you see that
the church cultivates the better
side of men to make them kinder,
gentler, more charitable, more
loving so that everybody may
work togather for good to help
you ? Don’t you see that the laws
are enacted to regulate the rela¬
tion and conduct of men for your
prosperity and protection ? Don’t
you see that the flowers with
their beauty and fragrance are
placed on the earth to brighten
the spirits of men who are stingy
and crabid and mean like you?
Don’t you see that sweet music is
the greatest balm in God’s realm
to soften the raging souls of men
and to drive away
the cares and. crosses of a villain
like you? Don’t you see your
newspaper lending every effort
day by day to the advancement of
of your community and hardly
getting a living out of it all for
your sake ?
No, you don’t see it, you are
too mean, and you never will be
any better because you won’t
read or listen.

Mother Love.
When the gates of paradise
closed behind Adam and Eve, and
fallen man who had tasted of the
knowledge of good and evil, went
forth into the world to learn the

.... hie, angel . trait , left, . ...
one ,V was un-
tainted , . , , in . the human , heart, , , says
an exchange. It was mother love
that the dross of earth has never
toadied, and that springs to-day
as pure and white and innocent
above every cradle as it did above
the first born child. Other love
may falter and die, if the way lie
hard and long; time and distance
may lay , their chill on other allec-
tion8 a „d the fire burn down to
t } 1( , dull and lifeless ashes of re-
m emberance, but mother love is
as true and steadfast as the etern-
al stars of heaven. No lapse of
years makes it less tender, no dis-
grace makes it less tender, no dis-
grace makes it ashamed, no treacli-
ery or ingratitude so base it
cannot , break , , it .... the alabaster , , ,
over
box of its .. tears . and . wash away
th 0 very memory of its wrongs.
j s f} ie one love in the world that
gives all, and exacts nothing in
return, perfect in its unselfishness
How often do we marvel at the
miracle of mother love that can
