SSttSf-V-' - ... Pearls of Thought. No one should so fear being egotistic as to ovoid the society of iheir own conscience. It will make more difference to those who refuse to see the truth, than to the truth itself. Information is the literal form of knowledge; if not derived from experience; it is deceit. .It does not follow that a man should have more authority be cause of his superior knowledge. A man mistakes conceit for wis- dom«when he cannot bear to listen to an idea at variance wetb his own. Progress is derived from hon- essy, while to be a successful de- ceiver, training is absolutely nec essary. The man who mistakes a form for a fact, is also ignorant of the method- by which a success is achieved. The more one knows about the past, and what the future will be, the less they know about the pres ent. mm Farm and Garden Notes. The hen that lays in winter doesjjnot breakfast, dine and sup on cold corn and ice water. It is said that if mice holes are filled with chloride of lime the ro dents will qnit the premises. Be sure that all the animals, es pecially the young, have warm quarters and a good bed to lie on at night. Regularity is a prime virtue in feeding stock, and next in impor tance to well-balanced, full ra tions. The feeding standards should be considered as guides, and not as formulas to be implicitly fol- ' lowed. To insure success put your products into the market in a su perior condition, and have them of a little better quality than others. Not many are aware of it, but a covered barnyard is a paying insti tution—better than spreading ma nure on the snow and ice. Sleepless Nights, inado miserable by that terrible cough. Shiloh’s Cure is the Remedy for you. Holtzclaw & Gilbest, Perry, Ga. Don’t Overdo a Good Thing. Work to a Purpose. Moxroe Advertiser. The people who ^fecceed in life are those who work to a purpose. A working along in the world with no fishd purpose in view to attain is like a mariner navigating the ocean without chart or com pass.

The present cotton season has been one of the best the planters of the South have had for years. A remunerative price has been sus tained throughout the season, with little fluctuation, while, the com modities which planters have to buy have mostly been comparative- work” and perfect themselves in none; they never reach the point of ascertaining for what they are fitted. Thousands’of people are. wear ing their lives away at work with out any programme of their efforts, and with no special object; to ac- somplish. They enter upon some vocation as a tempereary arange- nient whereby they hope in some way to gain a living, until per chance some other opening may present itself to them. They do not known whether they are lo cated. or not; areuncertain as to prosecuting the business upon which they may have entered, and therefore have no definite end to work to. The invariable result in such instances is that little or nothing is accomplished. Reader, it matters not what your circumstances and surroundings may be, if you would succeed in life, you must map out a pro gramme to follow, must fix in your mind definitely what vocation yon will pursue, must have a settled purpose to accomplish and work to it. Do not stand in thp field of indefiniteness and. uncertainty as to your future course, waiting for some favorable wind to waft you on to fortune. . If you choose - any profession for your calling, make it your aim and fixed • purpose to go to the top. If von have chosen merchandise, put your mark on a line with the front and press to it if you selected to till the earth never permit your calculation and purpose to fall below the line of complete success, and press for ward with a fixed purpose to at tain it. No matter what others may do, as for yourself, choose yoa a permanent business,-adhere to it. press forward in it, and do not per mit the little disappointments, .re verses and adversities, that occa sionally befall you, to drive you from your course or to change your purpose. To succeed in any calling or business, man must aspire to some thing higher and beyond a -mere subsistence. For, as a rule, none attain to anything beyond that which they determine to reach And if we have no definite, fixed purpose to which we are constant ly reaching out to attain, bat be content simply to drift about with the tide of circumstances, we will accomplish nothing. Therefore every one should have a specific and definite purpose in life, and persevere unceasingly towards its accomplishment.

Then there has been a lively and prolonged contest between the “bulls” and the “bears,” the former maintain ing the advantage for most of the season, and- there has been a good and well sustained demand for cot ton goods. All these conditions have work ed together for the benefit of plant ers throughout this season, but they may be materially changed during the next season. The stocks on hand may be larger; the bulls may become bears; the demand for cotton goods may not be so great—to say nothing of possible financial changes that may be prejudicial to most business inter ests. In view of probable contingen cies such as these, the policy of cotton planters would seem to be to continue the plan of marketing judiciously, and not to be lured by the success of this season into planting too large a crop. The needs of the farm for its independ ent support should be the prime object, bearing in mind that tMs is the safe and conserative policy in times of low prices for the money crop and' other unfavorable cir cumstances. Can Scirrhus Cancer be Cured? This is a hard question to an swer. Swift’s Specific has cured thousands of cases of Skin Cancer, and there have been many cases of Scirrhus Cancer reported cured by it. We do say that S. S. S. is worth a trial in any case of cancer. We append a statement from Miss Green, of Tallapoosa, Ga.: In 18841 had a small lump in my left breast, which proved to be a cancer. The first remedy I tried was to have it burned off. This did not cure it, for shortly after wards it broke out again in amneb worse form. I then consulted our druggist, who advised me to try Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.), and af ter taking about one dozen bottles, was completely cured, and my gen eral health was greatly improved. This has been over six years ago, and my cancer has never appear ed since, nor has it troubled me in any way. I can cheerfully recom mend Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.) to any one suffering with cancer.

The Highbury Strict Baptist church in London admitted to membership without regular im mersion a lady afflicted with de formity, which made it almost im possible for her to undergo the ceremony of immersion. For this the church was expelled from the organization of Strict Baptist churches, and; after a long fight, the congretion and elders have just acknowledged their mistake in “having .been too ready to accept the plea of impossibility,” and the matter Las "been setted by the im-? mersion of the lady seated in a specially constructed chair, and wearing a dress specially design ed for the occasion. Upon this the church has been restored to membership. It is said there is a woman in New York state who 'is so. short she has to stand on a chair to reach the top of her head.

Holtzclaw & Gilbert, Perv, Ga. They Were So jliselieivoas. New York WcrM Two grizzly old girls got into a Brooklyn street car the other day and chatted playfully from oppo site: sides of the' car. They -were so artless and cunning, even at their advanced age, and made the time pass pleasantly. “Our mutual friend—you know who I mean—was down to see me the other evening,” said . one, as she giggled in a very amusing manner. “I saw him out on tne sidewalk. Of course I knew he wanted to come in, bathe is so boyish and I am so full o'f mischief that I just let him stay out in the cold a good long time. Then I went to. the window and he picked up courage to come in. I never saw any one so smitten as he is. Isn’t it ridiculous?” The other girl giggled through tis recital.and then entertained ns with her. romance: “You would have laughed fit to kill yourself could you have seeD George the night of our church fair. It was just too comical the way he huDg around me. I introduced him to every pretty girl at the fair, but the silly goose had eyes for no one but poor me.
