Thu ••Atlanta Daily Post” comes to us
this week. 1'uil of interesting: uews to
everybody. It is published in Atlanta,
,Ga., at the low price of $5.00 per an¬
num.
Some of our exchanges are haying
some soft words about Joseph E. Brotvu
a.s our next Govarnoj. We are inclined
to believe he would take pretty well in
this section.
Some of our exchanges seem to think
that Mr. Tilden would like to be the
next President of these United States,
and we have no objection, fur we sup
pose he is a good and suitable mau
Some of our people seem to think
that the “traveling candidate" will be
a “hard horse to curry, 1 ' but if the
Cincinnati Convention puts tho right
man before the people, all will b 3 well.
in case of Gen. W. T- Wolford's
Independent candidacy fur Gov., the
“Atlanta Daily Post seems to think that
Lucius J, Gartrell would be a suitable
man for the democratic nominee. We
file no objections to Mr. Gartrell.
Tho people of White county wouldn’t
I)avo a railroad, if it was complete,
with rolling stock-even to their doors,
so loDg as they can get a piece of corn
bread and old bacon to knaw on. We
hate to say say this, but “actions speaks
louder than words.”
CHARITY.
If we would be good citizens, and
loved and respected by all who make
our acqaintance, we should he charita¬
ble, both in word and deed. We must
remember that all persons are not of
the same miDd, disposition and temper¬
ament, that acts and words that we
esteem to be right may seem wrong to
another, and vise versa, We must not
think that every act, or every word
spoken is meaut to defame us. This
is calculated to give us trouble, and not
only us but our neighbors. We should
he so charitable as not to speak evil of
aoy one, bnt let our evil thoughts he
banished without utterance. Do unto
others as we would hav? them do unto
us so far as we can; this is the golden
rule, and works beautifully, when com¬
plied with. Tattling is uncharitable;
calculated to do much mischief, to
create strife, and hatred, and some
times more than this. It is our duty to
warn our neighbor of approaching evils
that may have come to our knowledge,
and when we see him in error, we ought
to give him caution, by showing to him
the evils thereof, iu a prudent manner.
If every one does not act iu accordance
with our views of right, we should Dot
be offended with them, because, it may
,be that we are wrong. Let us bear in
mind that tio man is peifect, and do as
near right as we cau. This is charity.
CHEAP RATES TO ATLAN TA.
Tho merchants of Atlanta are enter¬
prising folk, as we see from a recent
number of the Constitution, that they
have made an arrangement with the
authorities of theAirLiue Railroad to
carry passengers over that road to and
from Atlanta, from the 15th to the 25th
of March, at the low rate of one and
one-fourth cent pe,r mile. One of our
nearest railroad points is Gainaville,
which is 53 miles from Atlanta, and, at
one and one quarter cent per mile, would
enable our country merchants to go to
the city and return to Gainsville for the
small sum of $1 32i. Tho hotels and
boarding houses have agreed, for the
time indicated above, to reduce their
rates, so that a merchant can go and
purchase goods and return home at lit¬
tle cost. Such enterpriso on the part
of the merchants and hotel-keepers of
the “Gate City" will secuer to them a
large traie and cash custom. A city
with the pluck and energy of Atlanta is
bound to distance competitors, and we
say all success to the enterprising and
liberal railroads and generous citizens
of Georgia's greatest and grandest city.
1 he merchants iD this country can
avail the ..selves of a good
to visit and trade with the merchants of
Atlanta, and they will, no doubt, secure
good bargains and get good goods
hfceir country trade. Let as all go
the city and see “the sights. 1 ’
TEMPERANCE.
i'or tho Advertiser.]
As “ Yonah Mountain Boy/’ and
•‘Outsider" have assayed to “ jlno the
baud” and ‘ hist the banner” of cold
water, I have thought of giving a word
of encouragement, on this topic that
some people .call thread-hare. A man
ought to bo superior to his
and .. *-I, the — one „ .—. who t. « allows „ )l___... . L bis ; appetite ..... . i!, . i. to
rule him is a slave and not a man.
AVhisky-d.rinking is a demoralizing
thing. It debases, brutalizes, ruins
those who practice it to excess. The
man who manufactures “blockade’ w his
key ought to be in the chain gang, the
man who sells liquor ought not to be
respected by decent people, and the
man who drinks it ought to quit it.
It would be a good idea to have a
temperance revival in this country.
Let us have a society composed of mem¬
bers who will take the following pledge
and keep it. If we could get a large
□ umber ,,f sigu.r., »l,o a
blue ribbon as a sign of their temper
ance principles, it might have a good
effect in sobering a good many who tire
now the slaves of drink. Let some
good citizens take the pledge around
and get siguers. It is as follows:
“For the honor of God and tho ben¬
efit of humanity, I promise, with divine
help that I will never make, buy, sell
or use as a beverage any spirituous or
malt liquors, wine or cider, and that 1
will, in all proper ways, discourage the
manufacture, sale and use of tho same.”
Taking this obligation will hurt no
one. nor interfere with their duties as
good citizens Let us see bow rnauy
“Mountain Boys and Yonah’a" vve can
get to sign the pledge. Let all come
up aiul take the obligation. Yours,
Blue Ribbon
A True Story.
Many years ago, a lavyer, distinguish
ed alike for bis kind disposition and
knowledge of the law, had occasion to
visit Gainsville, in Hall county, Georgia,
on business connected with his profess¬
ion. Gainsville was at that time a
small backwood town, its inhabitants
numbering scarcely a ‘bakers’s dozen,’
and was known by only a few individu¬
als, who, during the summer, sought
the benefit of the mineral water iu its
immediate vicinity. During the lawer’s
stay iu tho village, he was one day ap¬
proaching a lad who had for sale, in
one hand a bucket of blackberries, and
in the other a hound pup, with yellow
spots over his eyes. The lad very
modestly asked the lawyer to be kind
enough to give him some papers to read.
Struck with the lad’s appearance and
earnest rnanuer, the lawyer, after ask¬
ing his name, and talking with him
kindly about his berries and pup, pro¬
ceeded to give trim this sound, terse ad¬
vice: ‘Reme.mbor, my boy, that you
will be what y^u make yourself. Be
industrious, be honest, esteem luck a
fool, plnek a hero, depend upon yourself,
and you will be on the sure road to
wealth and high position. Be generous,
read good books, be polite, be a gentle¬
man save your money, and put it to
good use; love God, truth, and virtue,
and attend to your own business.’
Encouraged by this kind advice, the lad
soon sought and obtained a position on
a railroad. Starting at the bottom
round of the ladder, he rose step by
step, until he now occupies a high po¬
sition among the railroad, magnates of
the country. He attributes his success
in life to the kind talk of the lawyer,
whe was the late, lamented Judge,
Cincinnattus Peeples, of Georgia, The
lad is now known as Major R. T. Wilson,
of New York —more familiarly styled
among railroad men as ‘Dick WilsoD/—
