Hand to hand, shoulder to shoul-
er, in the most perfect union that
ever reconciled two once embitter
ed and divided sections of onr
common country, the people of
Hew England are working with the
people of the south. They have
come, they are coming, to us from
her far bleak bills and valleys, not
as travelers of a day, impelled by
curiosity; not seeking to revive the
memories of our battle-fields, look
ing for blood-stains npon the white
brests of the daisies that cover the
graves of war; but they have come
forgiving and forgetful, even as we
have forgiven and forgot in the
new life which has dawned on ns,
in the new conditions which sur
round us, and have cast their lots
with ns for the upbuilding of the
south, whose wealth has wooed
them, whose unlimited resources
give such rare promise of rich re
wards. And while a few of their
brethren, who have only seen the
south as the old south of the war,
pictured with prejudice in the col
umns of a partisan press, remain
at Bbme and preach dull sectional
sermons to us, these, wiser in their
day and generation, with coats off
and sleeves rolled up, are toiling
side by side with southern men in
prosperous southern cities.
A paper lies on our exchange
table, “The New England City
.Record.” It is not a great news
paper, such as the journals pub
lished in the old New England,
but it does not come from that part
of the country, it is nearer home
than that. Iu the valleys of Dade
county, Georgia, as if “by a stroke
of the enchanter's wand,”.a new
city of the north has risen, and at
its christening, in southern dew
and sunlight, this name was given
it by the men who made it. It is
a model New England City, where
northern brains and capital abound,
where northern men have found a
home and northern energy and en
terprise are doing wonders; they
are tearing down the rocks and
turning the sod of the fertile val
leys; they are delving in the mines
and bringing the golden secrets of
their depths to light; they are
building up and brightening the
whole country; and the whir of
their factories, the roar of their
furnaces, the shrill sound of their
steam whistles will yet be heard
in the cities of the far north and
bring still greater colonies to the
sonth.
A New England city in the south!
And still there are people who
think the war is going on; who
think that every mighty blast which
rends a rock and lays bare its sil
ver veins is ominous with wrath,
and but the roar of cannon trained
upon them! who spend their lives
in theorizing over so-called souths
ern problems, while their brethren
are growing up and getting rich
with the new south, where they
find no problems at all.
The good that this yankee city
in the north Georgia hills will do
for the south—the good the sonth
will do for it—cannot be estimated.
It is bound to be of benefit, not
only to the men who control it, hut
to every southern man, for from
its hills and valleys will go out a
fraternizing influence which will
bring ns into closer touch and
union with the old New England
cities that know so little of ns.
Bat these northern cities are
blossoming everywhere in the
south, and more especially in Geor
gia. We strike hands with north
ern men wherever we go; we find
them by the hundreds in Talla
poosa; we find a model yankee city
in Domorest; we hear the whir of
their engines in the mills of Co
lumbus; we meet them in great
numbers camped in the iron fields
of Georgia, laying off new towns,
that seems to spring up in a night;
in long excursion trains from the
north, the east and west, they come
to us daily, and come to stay. All
over the south they are building
cities of their own, mingling with
us in business, so that it is hard to
tell the northern from the southern
man in this great union of inter
ests. They find no race problems,
no problems of any sort; they find
business only, and they __ become
busy themselves.
Let them go on with the work
of city-building in the sonth.
There is plenty of room for them,
and a right royal welcome for all!
We want to make this country a
new south indeed, as well as name;
and we want our- northern friends
to help us in the work, and still by
their presence and co-operation to-
cement the ties which bind us to
gether as brothers all, and citizens
of one common country!

earned by a strict observance of
contracts, agreements and prom
ises. The man whose word is
good as his bond” is the man who
has inspired confidence in himself
by always doing that which he has
promised to do. He is also,
rule, cautious about entering into
obligations, chary about making
promises he may not * be able to
fulfill. If too prodigal in the lat
ter respect one cannot hope to
keep faith at all times.
The man who is or intends to be
honest sometimes loses credit and
reputation simply because he is too
hopeful. Counting with too great
confidence on uncertainties, he
makes promises he cannot fulfill
because of the failure of the event
on which they were predicated.
He voluntarily fixes the date for
the payment of a debt, and finds
too late something has gone wrong,
so that he cannot meet his obliga
tion. Such an accident may hap
pen to any man." Upon the way
in which he meets the unexpected
trouble depends how his reputa
tion shall stand afterwards. If he
can fulfill his promises at any per
sonal sacrifice he should do so;
failing that, he should endeavor to
keep his promise by borrowing
elsewhere, thus gaining time for
the final discharge of his obliga
tion.
Bat if he cannot do either, he
should go as soon as possible to
his creditor aud secure an exten
sion by frankly telling him the
saying that “fright made his hair
stand on end,” is not founded on
imagination, bnt is a physiological
fact. The poets,, as far hack as the
author of the book of Job, are full
of references to this phenomenon.
In the lower animals the mnscles
that erect the hair are more high
ly developed than in man.
The manufacture of hair takes
place in the follicle. The hair has
neither circulation nor blood ves
sels. The finest pointed needle is
dnll compared with the point of
hair. Hairs do not rise perpen
dicularly from the crown of the
head, but at an aente angle,
Blonde hair is usually the finest,

black-haired girl averages 88,000
and a blonde 140,000. A Michi
gander js on record who had a
beard 7 feet 6| inches long. When
cut frequently, hair grows at the
rate of half an inch a month. The
statement that hair- grows after
death has no scientific foundation,
A hair twenty inches long can be
stretched to twenty-four
or twenty-five inches. One
of.the dangerous oroperties of the
hair is that it encourages sparking
—electrical and other kinds. Hair
absorbs moisture, as many -a lady
who goes to a party on a foggy
nigh't knows to her cost. A hair
from the heard will sustain
weight of six ounces. A good head
of hair made into a rope will sus
tain a weight of nine or ten tons.
The hair can be preserved by a
good shampooing once m ten days
to it as possible. The worst pos
sible coarse is to let time ran -on
until his creditors begin to press
him on an obligation long overdue.
It is too late then for explanations
or renewals. ' His credit is gone;
his reputation is broken down. His
after promises are distrusted,
though they may be grudgingly
accepted.
He may for years after thas
shattering faith in himself pay
promptly and keep his word, but
there will remain the lingering
feeling of distrust born of one fail
ure to keep faith or to explain in
advance the reason why it coaid
not be kept. An engagement of
any kind should he held sacred,
and thus good reputation, which
is of very slow growth, may be
gradually built up, for he who
keeps his word at all times be
comes respected aud is trusted.
The young man cannot learn too
early in life his responsibility to
himself and others. He is to make
his reputation by what he says and
does, and at the outset should have
high regard for truth, which car
ries with -it honesty, and insnres a
prompt and complete fulfillment of
all engagements.
He should not allow a careless
habit in money matters to grow
upon him, but should pay all his
bills promptly. There is an im
plied promise to pay at the end of
the month, or when the bill may
he presented, even though there
has been no engagement to do so
made in so many words, and it is a
good practice to keep these im-
plied as well as other promises
with scrupulous care. Such a
course will in time establish a rep
utation whose value cannot he

veloping useful habits and keep

important to sustain your national
leaders and to carry out the ideas
which render Democratic suprem

Why should any Democrat aban

the interests of the whole people

reqnires no secrecy and no novel

the Democratic party to support,

Our druggists tell us they are

demand for it is attributed merely
to its extraordinary merit as a blood
purifier and strengthening altera
tive. We know of several instances
where it has put sick ' men and
women on their feet after physi-
cans had exhausted their skill. It
is a medicine that certainly goes
right to the spot, the very first dose
seeming to do good. The blood is

as a blood purifier as this remedy.

ducted at a high, attitude. When
a storm comes on there is rash of
cold air upward, which catches
falling raindrops and bears them
heavenward. Then drops pass
through a cold cloud and get con
gealed; they become heavy and
fall hack into the rain cloud,
where a coat water adheres to them
Caught up again they are carried
into the snow and take on an oth
er jacket; and so the process goes
on nntii a large stone is formed,
which, with it companions, escapes
from the current of air, and comes
tumbling to the ground. If a
hailstone is cat in two, the ^layers
of ice and snow may he seen with
the naked eye. The small, ordina
ry hailstone starts as a raindrop,
but achieves its new dignity be
fore it teaches the ground. Hail
stones are most frequent when the
temperature conditions are most
uneven. It has been very cold in
the North, and very warm in the
South lately, and the currents of
air coming from these sections
have caused the abnormal fall.

Ah automatic nickel-in-the-slot
photographing machine has been
invented. The person wiyp wishes
to he photographed stands in front
of the machine, at a distance of
about 2£ feet, and looks steadily
into the lens for the space of five
seconds. The sound of a gong in
forms him when the operation is
over. The interior machinery then
passes the tin plate on which the
likeness is taken through a chem
ical hath in order to develop the

It has just been discovered that
the Grand canon of the Colorado
river is rich in precious' metals.
'For a distance of 400 miles there
are indications of gold. Already
there is a hurried movement toward
the canon, and within a few weeks
it will be swarming in all proba
bility with miners, gamblers and
adventurers. The wonders of the
west will never cease. Even the
deserts that were considered worth
less are being changed into pro
ductive fields by means’of irriga
tion.

The Deaf Hear.
That sounds miraculous, and yet
one may become temporarily deaf
on account of blood poison settling
in the ear, and then find quick re
lief by using B. B. B. (Botanic
Blood Balm.)
John W. Weeks, Decatur, Ga.,
writes: “Six months ago I had a
pain in my ear and in a few days
it discharged matter. Then I grew
deaf and. could not hear at all. I
began the use of B. B. B. and the
running of my ear soon ceased and
I now hear, while my health is
much improved and I feel full of
gratitude to God and to the pro
prietors of so good a remedy.”
S. M. Ellis, Atlanta, Ga., writes:
-B. B. B. cured me of most stub
born eczema. I had doctored it
without success for twelve years.”
W. H. Davis, San Marcos, Texas,
writes: “I am rapidly recovering
from blood poison by use of B. B.
B.” ♦
