Judge Russell.
To the millers of the Advance and
the voters of Montgomery county : 1
As the primary approaches the
j excitement grows more exciting,:
and candidates work with renewed
interest. Rut nearly every veter
i lias decided on his mvii for coun
jty offices. It is highly probable!
that little thought has bo-11 giv
!en to the candidates lor Chief j
Justice of tile Supreme Court of
! Georgia. In this race Justice:
I Simmons desires to succeed liirn
jself, while Judge Richard 15. Rus-
I sell aspires to the office.
The writer knows nothing per
sonally of Judge Simmons. He
is no doubt a good and able man,.
1 but he has held the office many ,
j years, lius now passed his “tliroy
| score and ten” and there is noth- i
• ing wrong in an able man aspir
ing to succeed him. This is a
day of young men. and Mr. Rus
sell. as solicitor-general and judge
of the Western Circuit, has prov
en himself fully qualified to fill
the very responsible position.
Dirk Russell is a self-made 1111111,
j w hose courtesy, profound know l
! edge aiul impartial decisions have
.gained the support of nearly ev
jervone who know him. If you
leave his name on your t ioket you
will vote for an honorable man.
: worthy and competent to serve
as Just ice of the Supreme Court.

God placed Adam at the head of
'■ the household, but ho created!
Adam and Eve equal, and true:
1 happiness cun only conic in marr
ied life through the manhood of
I the man being equal to the woman
-1 hood of the woman.
i This is tlie age of women. We
find all the avoent ions, professions
and tracers of life opening their
d< ors to admit the enterprising
woman. Some aro going into their
own, nnd some are going into
other people's business. In our
Admiration for the new woman
, there is danger forgetting the wife !
: and mother and woman’s true
! sphere as a Iwfcne maker.
No words can utter for good of 1
! hmuaii’ty will he lost or return to j
you void, but will in time hear
! fruit, that will tell ill eternity.!
I Make your mind a storehouse of]
'good tilings and never lose an !
opportunity to scatter them broad i
cast amongst those in need of
spiritual food:
“Loving words will cost but little,;
Journeying up the hill of life;
But they make the weak and wea
ry,
i Stronger, braver for the strife,”
’ When ubs< nt arc spoken
I of some will speak good for them,
' some iron, some lend, nnd some
always speak dirt ; for they have
a natural attraction toward what
is evil and think it shows pen
etration in them. 'As a cat watch
ing for mice does not look up
though an eleph.-.nt goes by; so!
they arc so busy mousing for dt- j
foots, that they let great excellen- 1
oe pass them unnoticed. We will
not say that is not Christum to
j make heads of other faults, and'
j tell them over every day ; we say
| it is infernal if you want to know
| how the devil feels, you do know
if you are one. To a pure, \sen
l.:itive and nlT’ctonafo nnnd, every
! act of finding fault, or dealing in
'condemnation, is an act of pain,
jit is only when we have become
callous to the world, and stranger
' to the sentiment of compassionate
j love, thnt we are able to play with
unconcern the parts of presecutos
land slanders, and that we can de
rive any pleasure from malignity
land revenge. He who is the first!
to comlem, will lie often the last '■
toforgive.
Young man don’t swear. There !
is no occasion for it outside of a!
printing office, wlr.ru it is useful
when the paper is behind time. It
also comes handy in proof-reading |
and is indispensible when the ink |
works had and the press begins to
buck. It is sometimes brought
into use when the foreman's mad;
ni d it lias been known to entirely
remove the tired feeling of the ed- |
itor when lie looks over the paper 1
after it is piintcd. Outside the:
printing office it is a foolish habit, j
That young man who thinks lie j
is poor because he lias :io bank
account, little understands t lie ;
value of God's free gift of health
and strength, little npredates the
fact that, the brightest and best |
of the country are self-made, nnd (
aid came to the notice of the;
world from just such beginning. ;
Not by idly moaning that they
are poor, but by going carefully to 1
work perfecting themselves in
their chosen perstiit, and becom- ;
ing so n.-eful to those about thorn;
that their services are always in
demand, wheatlier it be on the!
platform, in the shop are in the
kitchen, for all honorable alike,
and stanvp the individual as wor
th? of thnt crowning benediction
‘‘Well done, good and faithful
servant; thou hast been faithful
in a little, I will make you ruler j
over more.”
