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.

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.” '-- - | , H N Todd A T Achord C H Peterson Alex Graham C B Browning Benj.
