It being true that “there’s
inore in the man, than in the land,”
the lack of “life” in a town is di
rectly traceable to a lack of enter
prise in its citizens.
BY spfebial act of tiie Georgia
legislature, Milton Hitch, a minor
of BiOoks count} r , has been in-
• vested with all the rights and priv
ileges of an adult.
“Coitror.AL” Tanner has . re

of Pensions, at the request, unoffi

Col.‘W. S. Belknap has resign
ed tih.position of general! mana

road, to accept the presidency of
a bank in thecity’of Mexico. The
Central railroad loses a most ex
cellent officer.
The Georgia legislature has
passed at least a do2en| bills au
thorizing the establishment of
public school systems in towns of
the state. The demand for such
la%s is a direct protest against
further state aid to the cause of
“higher education.”

To'thejboy, papa is the ideal of
perfection, and papa should.be ex
tremely careful that the ideal
shell not be shattered. In word
anddeed, the father should be all
that.be hopes his boy to be. The
responsibility for J:he p formation of
the boys character eanoot be
avoided, and there should be no
desirfe lb Avoid it.
To the little boy papa speaks
only truth and wisdom; papa’s act
ions are just what they should be,
and he is in every respect the per
sonification of perfect manhood.
All that papa says and does is
right, simply because papa, in the
opinioAof the little fellow, can’t
say or do anything wrong:
The opinion held by the boy is
sublimely pure, and faith un
bounded. Fathers should ponder
long and well their conduct/ else
the faith and purity of their boys
will be destoyed.QBy example let
papa hold the confidence of his
son, and teach him continually
that his faith is not ihisplaced.

: It is publicly charged that rev

criminals'in Coweta and Hfeard
counties, and ‘ as a result large
numbers of warrants have been
sworn out against. innocent citi

Commissioner GlessneR says
the reccent excursion of Georgia
farmer's to Ohio will be beneficial
to “ Georgia in two ways. The
Georgia farmers studied closely
the economic methods of Ohio
farmers, and the Ohio farmers
were deeply impressed with the
agricultural advantages offered by
Georgia.. He believes the excur

Marshal Nagle, __ who recently

that Nagle was justified in killing

The father heed not be hideous
" ■ /
in depravity, or extremely wicked,
’ere the son may by the force of
example begin to wander from the
path of truth and rectitude.
There is no need to particular
ize here. The little boy studies
papa closely, and as does papa, so
will the son act. If the father is
strictly moral in all things, so the
son is apt to be.
As a matter of coarse, the pow
er of ’ discriminating-^' between
right and wrong increases as years
come to the boy,and if not worthy,
the father willTose the ediifidence
and love of the son, unless it be
that by gexample ’ the mind of
the§boy has been so warped as to
render it'extremely difficult for
subsequent lessons to eradicate
the moral poison that has been
absorbed by the young mind.
If the father’s life illustrates
honesty, integrity, energy, charity,
love of good and a fear of evil, the
example will be of exceeding
great force with the son, and
these virtues will be early recog
nized as the foundation upon
which a proper character must be
erected.
It is a recognized fact that a
mother’s love is the strongest in

We hadja long talk with Senator
Sanford several days* dgo. He
seems to regret that the people do
not understand his position in re

his motives and intentioilare to
do both parties justice. He re
gards the article of “Plain Farm

'self, but says it was not legitimate,
and he cannot notice it. We do
