VOLUME XIT.*
GAINESVILLE GA.. SATURDAY. MAY xa iqooi
that secret circular.
Mr. J. s. Allen states to the
^people in last week’s Eagle that I
fcave been sending out a “secret
circular” to the people. I desire to
^ay that I have no secret circular
or any other secret to keep from
the people. I have mailed the
letter to as nearly all the peo
ple as I could and certainly this
could not be a secret. Mr. Allen
says he is making the race on his
own hook. This I dare say is true,
but he does not deny the fact that
he was solicited by a patty outside
The Successful.
Every young mpn of whatever
avocation in .* life he chooses ex
pects success to crown his efforts
whether he makes many strides to
accomplish the desired good or
not. At times, it is true, they
act as if they little cared what
was the result of their exertions.
But even in the lives of the drunk
ard and reckless there are
ents when they aspire to heights
which they*might desend, that a
wish arises for, “something better
than they have known.” But they
have not the will power to ascend
a height that is not stained with
mom- to k e f oun d in the city; While some may have been discouraged and demoralized at the unsettled
and upward tendency of goods, yet we worked harder, spent more time, and bought a bigp
of Hall county, who tried to get
another prominent citizen to make G m ^ UC er ^ an sm *
the race against me, and said, as I
have been told, that he would de
feat me if he had to fail to go to
the Paris Exposition.

S H Allen, C S C, of Camming
"Was out among his many friends in
this section last week,
Probably the dog didn’t want to
into the ark because he had a
kark of his own.
There never was a time in civil
ization where high success de
manded harder and more earnest
labor than at the present. As
boy-hood vanishes and manhood
dawns with “the burden of the
world” upon his shoulders, then
he catches his first gloom, j;he
pinnacle of realized dreams, the
domes of high possibilities, the
purpling hills of great delights,
the sparkling snnbeam of a re
flected ray from the successful,
and then he turns and looks down
upon the narrow, sinons long
and dusty paths by which others
have reached the goal, he is apt
to be disgusted with this narrow
passage, and tries -for success
through broader channels and
quicker means. But there is but
one way and that is the standard
-^-the right way. Some tnay ac-
cumtilate'wealth by unjust means
but it will tell on them “in the
♦ .
long run.”
To secure success, one must
make up his mind not to be
downed by petty discouragements
and trouble that he finds along the
rugged way. If a round does
break or a foot slips, or have the
opportunity to replace a much
stouter tonnd and get a securer
footing profiting by the first ex
perience. * Rome was not built in
a year, but proof of her magnif
icent temples are still to be seen.
The adamant of the human temple,
if constructed km the light archi
tectural characteristic^! princi-
ple; can be so built as to stand in
grandeur throughout all eternity,
neither is it constructed in a year
but thro’ a lifetime. ,
One must not repine because
the fates are sometimes against
him,when he trips or falls let him,
like Caesar when he stumbled on
shore, stumble forward, andb y
escaping the omen, change its na
ture and meaning. # Neither should
one depend on their “natural born
givings,” for success. Says a
common-sense author upon 1 this
subject: Genius unexpected*^ no
more genius than a bushel of
acorns is a forest of oaks.” There
may be epics in ‘men’s brain,, just
as there are oaks in acorns, but
the- tree or the book must come"
out before we measure them.
He must also grapple with the
emergencies of life to learn of*
that power that liyes* in the soul
to repel the rude shocks of time'
and destiny,, to be conscious of*
how he is “blest with a kindly-
faculty to blunt the edge of ad
verse circumstances.”
Fortune, success, fame, position
are never gained but by determin
edly and bravely persevering ip

ger stock than usual. A visit to the stcre will soon convince one that we are
certainly successful in placing on sale some of the
