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. Mossy Hill Notes. To Old Confederate Veterans. 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.

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.

Martin, and keep the boom abooming. We are dailj expecting an army of book agents, and had the heaviest rain last Friday night since the Spanish- American war. 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 one case of small pox is known of here, a negro two miles away, and attention of the proper authorities have that in hand; so there’s no dan ger or cause for alarm.

All the neighbors killed heavy hogs, but that is not all, for we never saw the like since the birth of Moses,of the poor white folks and rich niggers splurging around and flying high with forty-dollar horses and top buggies. We see no grounds for all this talk about a big cotton crop, as the coons seem to think more, of frolic- ing than of making a crop. Hon.
