EDITORIAL AND COMMUNICATED.
Only The Best.
Me. Editor:—
Here. I am again. I like that little
word, best, because in all the avenues
of thought, speech and action there
is nothing better. It should be the
ambition of every boy, girl, man and
woman, to use and be the very best
within reach.
The mind can be so cultivated
that it will not entertain impure, -un
generous or unkind thoughts. That
this cultivation may result in the
production of good crops true to
name, there must be a heart founda
tion of love, truth, generosity, char
ity. Given this foundation of fertile
soil, the good seeds can be implant
ed in the mind that will grow into
thoughts of snow-white purity.
There being no thoughts of evil,
there can be no growth of unkind,
untrue or unjust words. When
speech giveth not offense to those
who hear, there can be no conse
quent action violative of the higher
and nobler elements, of truth, honor,
justice, love.
Having carefully cultivated the
mind, with all the noxious weeds
eradicated, the growth of the very
best thoughts will be rapid and
strong. The thoughts being only
the best, the words as they come
forth will reach attentive ears, giv
ing pleasure to those who hear, in
ducing action only of the best.
The very best results along this
line would of course give perfection,
a condition no person has ever
reached. It would seem, then, that
I am fixing a standard impossible to
attain. Not so, I am simply say
ing that the determination should
be to think, say and do the best we
can, and then our duty will be well
performed.
I counsel no one to overtax hu
man effort, but merely to try at all
times to do right, to "do unto oth
ers as they would that others should
do unto them.” Try continually to
think, say and do the best, and my
word for it, there will not be any
thing very bad put against your
name in the book of reckoning.
Thinker.

Resolutions Of The Board Of Educa
tion of Houston County.
Since our Heavenly Father in
his all-wise providence has seen
fit to remove from the cares of
this world our beloved friend and
chairman, Geo. M. Feagin, and
whereas a true and faithful ser
vant has been called to his reward.
Be it resolved by the Board of Ed
ucation of Houston county:
1. That we, the members of the
Board of Education and his con
stant friends, hereby manifest our
sorrow and grief at the loss of
this most excellent man.
2. That this Body has lost an
honored and faithful member and
the world one who was an exam
ple of up-rightness and integrity.
3. That we extend to his wife
and family our deepest and most
heartfelt sympathy.
4. That a copy of these resolu
tions be sent to his bereaved wife,
that they be recorded on the min
utes of this meeting, and that
they be published in the Home
Journal.

Andrew Carnegie has sold his iron
and steel manufacturing interests to
Pierpont Morgan & Co. The amount
to be paid approximates $130,000,-
000, and Mr. Carnegie’s annual in
come will be $12,000,000. Recently
this rich man said: “The day is not
far distant when the man who dies
leaving behind him millions of a\ ail-
able wealth, which was free for him
to administer during life, will pass
away [unwept, unhonored and un
sung, no matter to what uses he
leaves the dross which he cannot
take with him.”
Mbs. NATion, the Kansas saloon

The smallpox scare has somewhat
abated, but the more timid ones are
still peeping, around ,the comers for
an outbreak. The rumor of the
“break-out” in the school last week
proved a fake, but it didn’t fail to
scare. One parent on hearing the
first whisper of the rumor, went at
lightning speed to the J. P. for a
writ to stop the disease and save his
child. The J. P. explained that the
writ wouldn’t, but that vaccination
and fumigation would. Not having
the sulphur to fumigate with, he ap
plied spirits of turpentine in liberal
quantities both internally and exter
nally, and now feels at ease. Anoth
er parent, whose children made
tracks for home without entering
the schoolroom, were not allowed to
stop until they were hurried to Per
ry and the entire layout vaccinated.
Another didn’t believe in vaeccina-
tion, but put his boy right behind a
flop-eared mule and fumigated him
by getting up a red-hot sweat. At
our house, Mrs. Stockings declared
the time was ripe to begin having
family prayer right then. I told her
to go ahead, that “the prayers of
the righteous availetb much.” Ouly

here, a negro two miles away, and

have that in hand; so there’s no dan
