VOL. XXVII. NO 27 A TRUE STORY AROUT A BIBLE. • There was a liitlo boy who wanted a Bible very mtirh in deed—wanted it more than any thing else he could think of. But he was a poor boy, and could not afford to buy one; for he lived a good many years ago, when Bibles cost more than they do now. One day two strange gentle men came to his house and asked his mother for something to eat. Although she had only plain food, she gave them a welcome to what slm had. As they ate they saw that the lit tle boy looked sad. They ask ed him what he wanted, and he told them a Bible. His mother sn<d, ‘/Never mind. Don't fret about that.- I'll take you to see General Washington ne\i week. ‘ ‘ •‘But T‘d rather have a Bible than go to see General Washing ton, “ the boy said. One of the gentlemen seemed much pleased with this, and told him he hoped he would always be as f nd f the Bible. The next day the little boy received a beautiful Bible, and on the fly leaf was written, “From George Washington.“ The little hoy did not know it, but he had been talking to General Wasnington himself t he day before, —Our Little Peo ple. Writing on ••The Ni-edless Fear of Lightning,” Edward W. Bok. in the September La dies’ H ome Journal, says that “it will doubtless surprise the timid to know that only two hundred deaths a year occur on an average throughout tins en tire country from lightning, or one peiron in every three hun dred and fifty thousand people. Now in comparison, fifteen times as many people are killed each year by falling out of win dows; over twice as many from being bitten by rattlesnakes, while twenty-live percent, mon are killed with “unloaded** pis tols. More people are drowned around New York City alone everv year than there are deaths from lightning all over the country. In fact more people by fifty per cent, are killed by b ing kicked by horsos in New York City tlr ie I nun light ning thronghi i i. the whole o! the United States. The casual ties of the south show that the dangeis of being lynched and of being killed by lightning are übout the sane- The trolley cars of our cities kill a far greater number of people that do the lightning storms. Now, these are facts —they are strictly ac curate and carefully computed. A newspaper without enemies is scarcely deserving of friends The vicious and lawless nevei like a bold, fenil >ss newspaper, a ;d every sdf respecting pub lisher should bo proud of their enmity.

TheGwinnettTTerald: the dangers in which OUR REPUBLIC STAND, A.\l> THE SAFEGUARDS TO be RAISED FP AGAINST THEM THROUGH EDUCA TION. | CONTINUED FROM I,AST \VKEK.| The principle of life of our government is intelligent citi zenship, and that in proportion as it is maintained or permitted t -i degrade, our history will be written in glory or in gloom. If among this people false and erouious ideas of state, of law and public morality be permit ted to creep in and corrupt the public mind, our race will soon be run and another chapter of disaster will be written in the history of liberty. it follows from these propo sitions that the dying of a na tion begins in the corruption of its principles and the loss of its patriotism. We must, ever bear in mind that our govern ment is as yet, but in its infan cy, and that it is created with out a model, and is still but an experiment in the field of gov ernment. Though the success or of ancient republics, yet this union was Isorn of a strong ideal of constitutional government such as never gladdened 1 lie vision of the nation-builders of the past. From these considerations we ■are brought to a further con sideration of the question—the main dangers. One among tin ; most important is the tendency jof public mind and character lto chauge its points of individ ual honor. Among rode na tions one point of honor is usu ally personal courage. Among more civilized nations the point of honor depot ids upon national character, culture, the form of government, and many other things; and the pouils of honor frequently shift with the | changes of history. In France under l.onls XIV, this honor was magnificence and wealth, but today it seems to be bril liancy. In Italy, under the Romans as a republic, it was love of country, and as an em pire love of conquest. 11l our country, in its earlier day, if 1 was asked to choose a single quality that- among others was most admired, I would say un selfish devotion to country, of which Washington was the highest ty|»e. But if I were asked today to name a single ■ quality most admired by out people, I would say the point of honor in this country is shifting to a higher admiration of Ihe people Onr people un changing their ideal of what constitutes in a leader, from admiration of the patriotic j statesman to a higher esteem of. the time serving politician, from a regard for him who would fearlessly lead and direct public opinion for the l>est in terest of his country as lie sees it, to a worshiping of him who| by and through a keen sense of! cunning ascertains the trend ol ; public opinion, and irrespect • i -y« of whether it tie right or wrong puts himself at the head : of the procession and masque, radcu as its leader. It is a known fact, that many of our so called great political leaders 4 this nation give their whole time to the study of how to get office und keep it. Passing by these dangers from •ocialism, let us notice some other dangers. Corruption in public office is not uncommon; the treasuries of our state and nation are be ing lent opening* l ? by partisan legislation for partisan purport 's; aver ice and greed for gold ■s creeping into all channels ol life. I'he race for wealth and the social station that it brings .villi it is becoming so absorb ing that it is tending to destroy ill opposition. To fail in race IV r wealth is excusable,] mil to succeed makes while us mow the transaction through J which it is had. it is ae<.epted that “’Tie wrong to rob a In n test of its hen, but st -uling largely makes us gentlemen.’ It is against such influence that he hand of Christian scholar diip must ever l«* raised, orj Ist- this Republic will look tip mi the setting instead of tin rising sun. But in the consoliduti<>n of veallli unprecedented iu this country, there is another dan ger—the antagonism between LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER !4th 1897. labor and capital. The rich are'becoming richer and the poor poorer. I do not believe that tin solution of this prob lem ca n be reached by legisla tion, but that, it must come through education rather than legislation. Legislation cannot compel the employment of a single laborer by capital, nor can it fix the ages he should receive, nor can it prohibit the acciumilation of wealth without striking at that liberty of the individual that is the very cor ner stone of our government. The dines so is one of morals rather than of law, and after all the reform of the labor sys tem must, come through educa tion of tile public mind. This bridge im to a wider truth that- it is not the laws but the condition, of the public mind that w m list look to foi for all refotrm, afj growth and all progress. Some great man has said "give me tSie making of the ballot and I care not who may make the laws.” It is from the homes, the churches and tin- sche Is, and not from the halls of legislation, that must come the shaping and di recting forces of this republic. The ark of tho covenant of our liberty is bulged in the hearts of the people, and not under the dome of the capital. . .LA. Bagwki.t,. ANYTHING 1U T HIS FATH ER’S TRADE. From The Detroit Tree Press. ‘‘My boy shall never be a doctor,’’ said I’illstcr, the sician, to his friend, tin* preach- I er. “When I was a boy J lthought medicine was just the right profession for a man to follow-. I figured out that it would return reasonable profits, and futhermore. it was a noble calling. 1 could do gmid to my fellowman.

From The Cleveland Leader. “No,” said the soap fakir to a group of people that line] gath ered around him, “there is no use talking to me about the in nocence of the countryman. He may buy a gold brick occasion ally or sign a blank check and lose his farm, but as a rule he can take care of himself just as well as the next one, and gen erally a little better. If I knew as much as some farmors 1 wouldn’t lie in this business,and you can gamble on that. “Why, say, do you know what happened to me the last time I was down in the country? I got pinched, that's what I done, I got my satchel out in front of the hotel in a little town about thirty miles out east here and began to do a few tricks to draw a crowd. “After I'd made an egg dis appear. and pulled a few knots open for them, 1 says: ‘Now, gentlemen, I’m going to show you a trick that nobody else on earth has ever attempted. You see my hat here? Well, we’ll imagine for the time bein' that it is a flower pot. Out of this hat I’m going to make a hush grow up and when I’ve done that I’ll make every leaf on it turn into a sf> note.’ “What? Did 1 do it? Of course I did! But, say, do you now what conn of it? Blamed they didn’t arrest me and fine ne $-*> for raisin’ bills, which the justice of the peace said was ‘contrary to the statoots made and piovided. ’ “Well, 1 sort of had a hanker in' to know whether they done it in good faith or just because they thought I was easy pickin’ and what do you think I found out? Why. ihe people of that town hadn't paid any taxes for eight years. They'd actually I t*m runnin’ things by pluckin’ just such innocent fellows as me. “Now gentlemen, there’s a $1 bill in one of these little packages.

The man according ly returned to the scene of his rudeness and addressed the nf fei ded dame. “Was you the lady,” he inquired, "that I told to go to It —1?” “I was,’* she replied. “Well,” returned Don ald, with conciliatory mildness, “y >u needn't go now.’ —Gentle- men's Magazine.

An abrupt and impetuous hired man closed and locked the door and went away. Tin next day was Sunday and tin hired man did not come back. While tin- man who yearned to cool off waited for the re turn of (he hired man his ob ject was accomplished in a very thorough manner. He cooled off. Tlie mu filled door gave back but echoes to his blows, and his voice could find no place to es cape and sound the alarm. When he grew tired of walk, ing and swinging his arms to keep warm tlie chunks of ice that were piled around him did not offer a very tempting bed. Hunger gnawed at his vitals and refused to be satisfied with the diet of raw air. Darkness settled down like a six months' arctic night and the only sound which broke the profound still ness was tlie man who wanted to cool off trying to swear. The hired man opened the door on Monday morning and the man who wanted to 2001 off crawled out more dead than alive. When his tongue had thawed out he began to abuse the hired man. “Fool!” retorted the hired man. “Fool, you are a lucky dog and do not know it. Don’t you waste time in abusing me, your benefactor, but go and write a book of impressions on Alaska.” Then the man who wanted to cool off saw that his fortune was made. .SICK OF THEIR BARGAIN. “If the people of North Car oliua were given an opportunity of passing on the question to day the state would go overwind mingly Democratic and would stay in the Democratic column for all time.

Shrouds have no pockets, and fashionable dresses seem made to imitate them. But there are inconveniences connected with the tyranny and toonifoolery nl fashion, one of which was illus trated by a speaker in a mis sionary meeting as follows: A woman whom wo will call Mrs. Niles, a very prompt, ac tive woman, and one upon whose time many demands were made, went by appointment at a certain hour to her dres9 maker’s room. As she entered she found the drees-ntaker on her knees, arranging the drap ery of a dress on another lady. Airs. Niles said, with ration more dignity than politeness: “You see, lam prompt to tlie moment of your appointment.’ Miss Sims was evidently hav ing some trouble in arranging the drapery in question upon her customer, who was a stout lady, and in a rather worried manner requested Airs. Niles to be seated and she would soon be ready to wait upon her. Greatly annoyed at the de tention, sin* walked aer ss the floor in the stillest mnnuer pos sible and seated herself in th e stiff' st chair in the room, seem ingly intent on making all con cerned uncomfortable, and growing more and more impa tient herself as the time passed away. Her attention was finally ar rested by tlie following colloquy between the other lady and Miss Sims: “Have you put in a pocket?” “No; we do not put pockets in dresses any more." “I want one in mine,” said the customer. “There is no place for one,” was the reply. “Well, you cun make a pluce for one, for I want a pockett. ” “The folds here will interfere with it, and tin* drapery there There really is no place for a pocket,” suid the dress-maker. “Well, I can do without folds and I can do without drapery, But a pocket l cannot do with out, if it has to he sewed on the outside of my skirt.” In vain Miss Sims tried tc iu tlueiice her, until, weary with the discussion, her customer, Miss Bell, explained, saying: “I have been robbed too many times of a blessing from my heavenly Father because I bad no p's ket—and my purse, of course, at home—to run any such risks again. In church and in other places I have been deprived too often lai-e'y ol the blessing of giving for the want of a pocket, to have any pa tience with such a fashion. 1 have sat anil listened when causes were presented to which 1 wi uld gladly have contributed but tin* privilege passed, and with it the blessing I might l ave bad. Yes, I must have a pocket. ” Mrs. Niles rose from her un comfortable seat, now deeply interested. She had beard her! Father's name mentioned, anti 1 Mrs Hell was talking iu no strange tongue to her. Cross-! iug the room, she said: “I have been so annoyed lie cause I was detained this morn-1 ing, but my Father has kept me here to teach tm* this lesson. I, too, have missed the blessing of giving many a time for the; same reason, but I solemnly re solve not to have another dress made without a pocket,” The dress-maker added: “1 am a Bounin Catholic, but you j have converted me to ‘pockets,’: and I shall hereafter put them [ in dresses, unless requested not 1 t) d<< so. You, Miss Bell, shall certainly have a pocket.” Tlie lady narrating this story said she had noticed the even ing before, at the meeting, wh“n the collection was taken up, that many of the ladies tip |ieared to have no pockets, und she thought that they realized that they, too, had missed the blessing of giving.

It’s only a dollar or two—the editor don’t need it.' . If he duns yon, get as mad as you can and stop your pa per—you never read it anyhow. Then go and borrow your neigh bor’s paper. When a reporter comes, al ways be busy. Make him feel as if ho were intruding. When the advertising and job man conirs, toll him that it doesn’t pay you to advertise, everybody knows you, and that you will try and get along without any printed stationary, it is too ex pensive, and you must econo mize. Never drop in to see the ed itor, unless you want a free complimentary notice, or a lengthy obituary for a beloved relative. Never recommend the paper to anybody. When you sp-aik of it, say, ‘Yes, we have a little sheet, but it doesn’t amount to much.’ Keep this lip for a year or two, and you will have a dead newspaper, a dead set of mer chants and a dead town.” If it is not convenient, to fill flannel bags for the sickroom with sand, bran will answer the purpose very well and will re tain the h *ut for a long time.
