COMMUNICATED.
Leesburg, Ga. April, 14.
Mr. Editor:—We see from the colums
of your paper, that there are some an
nouncements for the position of represen
tative of this county, and it is rumored
that there will be several others to an
nounce, We of Red Bone, and we learn
that it is the general anxiety of the coun
ty, wish to know just how the respective
candidates are disposed as to the wishes
of the people, as expressed by our last
grand jury, in their recomendation to the
effect that our representative use his ef
forts to enact a law providing for the the
election of the solicitor and the judge of
the county court by a vote of the people,
Of course, the former position must be
filled by a lawyer, but the grand jury
recomended that the latter should not
necessarily be filled by a lawyer. We
believe’ however, that it would be better
to give this position to a lawyer-also, if a .
suitable one should offer himself for the
position. But we are aware of the fact
that there are plenty of citizens in the
county of good common sense who will
give ample satisfaction. We wish an un
equivocal expression of our candidates as
to this matter., Heretofore our senators
and representatives have not been as
mindful of the wishes of the people as
they should have been, but many times
have used the office for their own selfish
ends, Hereafter we propose to guard
against this evil and wish some consider
ation ourselves.
Lets have an 6pen, notorious and un
equivocal expression from our candidates
as to the above matter. We want to
know where you are at boys.

MERRY MEALTIMES.
The Table No Place For Fault Find
ing, Nagging and Strife,
Has it ever been ycur lot to sit at a
table with a group of young folks who
ate the meal in silence or, with a few
constrained remarks, looked askance at
the head of the family before ventur
ing on any remark? I have seen such
a sight on more than one occasion.
Doctors have told us over and over \
again of the beneficial results arising
from a meal eaten with a contented -
frame of mind and with cheerful sur
roundings; but, sad to say, there are
many househokls where each meal is
a constant scene of bickering, nagging
and fault finding.
This is not only the case where there
are young children, who require a
reprimand occasionally for careless
ness, but I am speaking of those homes
where the girls and boys are well into
their teens. Wrong is that parent, ei
ther father or mother, who chooses the
hour when all are assembled round
the table to mention some half forgot
ten grievance or to find some fault. |
If any trivial thing has been done
wrong or any duty omitted walit until
dinner or tea is over before you scold
blame or reprimand. Let the foo.
which God gives us for the purpose of
nourishing and sustaining our bodies
have the opportunity of accomplishing
that end, which cannot be the case if
every mouthful is swallowed with ei
ther a sarcastic word or an uncompli
mentary remark. More indigestion,
nervousness and other derangements 1
are caused by the too common fault of
uncomfortable mealtimes than’ man;
people would suppose, and it is our
positive duty, which we should all try
to remember, to make those hours of
the day cheerful and agreeable to the
children and to set them an example
which you would be the first to notice
and approve in others.--BScotsman.
