let’s charge it around a little bit.

about as lad or worse than the other picture? Yet if you are sane and
conservative you know if uncleanliness i* countenanced in Milledgeville you
arc striking at yourself with deadly poison. If you tail to hurt yourself you
•<nn inject the dead’y germs into your loved ones. If fortune, fate, or ctr

Co operation w.th the city ol Mille lgeville now in its cleaning up cam

Supposing you haven’t all this property enumerated above, but arc just class
ed among the simple folk; like we arc. don't you think it's worth while to
maintain your manhood, your health, your loyalty to city and state to back
u|i the law with your strong right arm? Ifsogetjto work. Talk about it
to your peop'e and your people's people. Cut down the weeds around *he
house, clean up gener.allv, try to avoi 1 sickness. ^It may be a little bit ex
pensive some times, but it will not be so expensive as the doctor's bill, and
then there'll be the stillcring too, the awful anxiety.
Wc don’t want to ask people to do things they don’t want to do. I.aw
fotccs people to do that, lor most of us wouldn't follow the law if we didn’t
have to: especially when it comes to paying taxes. But somehow we've an
idea that Milledgeville folk really stand lor the law when it is made lor their
good, for their health, happiness and prosperity. Won't'you get to work now
and join the progressive band and <|uit being one of the other kind, the kind
that is always —well we wont say anything more.

A bill has been introduced in the leg- !
Mature providing for the establishment j
of the city court of Milledgeville and 1
the following card has been forwarded j
to the Georgian by a prominent citizen fl
of this city criticising the same:

itself-ro uniformity whatever as to
jurisdiction or mode of procedure. This
local nr class legislation is the curse of
our state and the wreck of our judi
ciary. it is the offspring most generally
of some young and ambitious Solon who
is providing a future place for himself
or friends at present, without counting
the cost or caring a whit for the future 1
of his constituents. What is the advan-1
tage of changing any county court to a
city court? It only makes more places
to fill, more complications and more
taxes for the poor to pay. It would be
far better for the common people to
abolish some courts we now have than
to change or make new ones.

'The W atchword of To-Day.
Only the resplendent future must be kept in view today.^The heart
aches, the pains and trials must be forgotten. The distasteful memories"
must be blotted out of the treasury of the mind. The sorrow and sadness
must give way to joy and gladness. The sting of defeat must be supplant
ed by the thought of coming victory. The grief the heart lias known must
be erased by the touch of time today. The monsters that have threatened
to stay our onward tnaii lt, have retreated before tile completing hosts of
the Time. Everything is promising.
What alliance lor .■> new supreme efiort. It does not matter it things
have gone wrong at times,the only thing that exists now is'a blurred and blot
ted spot on the road ol yesterday, and the level stretch in the path ol the
future is recompense enough. The memory of such events must be cast
away in forgotten niches. The time is at hand for a new work to begin
Theie is’new strength (or every eftoit we need to put forth. There is a triumph
for every defeat. Tliete is a friend lor every foe. Down-hearted and dis
couraged though we may beat times, there is always a star of hope. This
veiy evening there is a idling star that will bring back to mind torn! recol
lections ol —
“Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call lor me."
Every heart has a star that will shine ftrever in its life, though some may try
to hide it.
The duty that counts for most is that spirit of right which predominates
in every heart, it is me writing that is engraved on the heart. It may be
covered up with t ie debris ot time and smothered down by a dire growth of
misunderstanding, but after the lapse of )cars, after the days are gone when
promise was golden, the engraving will be there intact. It will stand out in
bold rebel, a signal for another soul. It will be a beacon light to show where
barks have foundered on crag bound shores after drifting past isles of flowers,
it is the only lesson that people must learn. Only the survival of the great
truth, that hearts must sutler before we learn the best there is in life, that we
must struggle and be brave before we realize the good that lies this side ol
the grave.
Somehow there is one consolation—God-given—to a struggler who tries
earnestly and fails. There may be no laurel-crowned achievements to his
credit, but there will be a reward for the failure, as applied to man, when
lie comes up and says: “Mailed, but I played my part as best I could.'*
Mistakes in every life ate frequent. The soul tnat is infalliable has not been
found.
But little as some may think about it. when we trv the hardest to please, it
i* then we lad to get appreciation. Yet aftet the struggle is over, the grand
est t!i uiglit ot it all is to know and realize t '..it when once the goal ts won
when he snuggle is onde ! and the tight is over we can look back and say
i.uewed, we have fou;ht a'good light.
An 1 that is the way it is to lay. The trials and temptations that beset
:s iti • o lavs ol the pi-t are no longer at on id us They have been thrust
nto tin* hall of wasted things, where the gray-robbed angel of oblivion
seeps i silent guard fir aye. The d ivs to be are only days of promise, as
■\e make them ’1 he lut-ite will come pretty much into our way of thinking
t we will only strive to make it so. And who could ask tor more?

Out of the warmth and light;

And firever rest at His feet.

Eagerly waiting and listening,
