The '’98 session of the general as¬
sembly cost the state of Georgia
•16^,474.0ft.
The pay rolls for the legislature
hg-Yo been made out and E^re qow in
the office of State Treasurer Spqer
in, Atlanta,
The itemized sheet, shpws the
expenses to he divided as follows:
Senate per diem, $15,295.
Mileage, $1,378.
Expenses of coinmittqq,. $971.08.
blouse per diem, $43,091.

Those figures represent the pay

the secretary of the sengte gets
$3,300.
r Jjhe pay of these last, named of¬
ficials is iqpluded in the general
totid of $ftS,4.74.C6.
Now, we wogld he glad to, know
in what way the people of Georgia
got value received, fpr the above
amount. We earnestly believ.e that
there is no necessity for the annual
expenditure of such large sums of
money for the meeting of the legis¬
lature, and are glad to see that the
scutiment in favor of biennial ses¬
sions is steadily increasing.—East¬
man Times-,) ournal.
Georgia is paying too much for
her whistle, hut so long as the peo¬
ple submit to it, just so long will
the “tariff” he laid on. The people
have tlii‘ power and the right to reg¬
ulate their public hurdesm and if
they neglect to do so, they have no
ojie to blame hut themselves.

>. Never, do a thiqg that you
know to he wrong; you will get
into trouble. However attractive
the path may he, a wrong once
dons can never he undone. Even
if repented and forsaken, its evil
influence can never be wholly coun¬
teracted. You can never lie the
same person again. If you are in
doubt as to whether a thing is
wrong, don’t do it until you are
sure it is right,
2. When you undertake a right
thing that ought to he done, go
through with it. There- always
comes a point when success is al¬
most reached that ,..t i? tempted to
relpx effort, a time when one doubts
if the prize is worth the exertion.
Beware of, yielding then. You are
not in condition to debate the ques¬
tion at that time, li is weariness
makes you hesitate, and not good
iiidgmi >.t. Push, ahead! If yqn
70 lire that you were right in the
beginning, you will ho. glad, you
persevered to the end.
3, Waste nothing. Don’t fritter
away time, strength or money. Use
all to the best advantage, and you
will find yourself gaining in the
race, even if at first the progress
seems to be slow. Ben Franklin
'ued to say: “Take care of the
fines and the dollars will take care
of themselves.” If you have little,
then all the more reason why you
.should make good use of it. You
vu t afford to waste anything,—Ex.

Love Your Lover.
Intimate acquaintance, congenial¬
ity of tates and purposes, respect,
admiration, material and social ad¬
vancement-all these may appeal at
some time to the young woman or
tl;e yq-uqg man, as furnishing the
pOfsitjlp. material, fqy a prosperous
venture in matrimony.
Bpt tQ, those qf us who arq. on
this side of married life, with.years
of experience to give us insight^
there never was a greater fallacy.
I say it to all young women (and I
would I had the tongues of angels
to say it as I should), “Love yqur
lover or do not marry him.”’ Re¬
spect and admiration may do for
friendship; marriage absolutely de¬
mands love.
You remember that when the
Apostle Peter sunps up the qualities
that go to make thg perfect Chris¬
tian character, h.e doqs not begin by
urging the necessity of faith. He
assumes its existence at the start.
He says: “Add to your faith virtue,
and to virtue knowledge.” It is as
if he would have us know that faith
is not to he regarded, simply as ag,
adornment to the Christian charac¬
ter, It i,s a prerequisite. It is tho
atmosphere in which the Christian
life has its breath and being. So it
is with lov.e when the time, comes
to settle the gravest question of
life.—Helen Wattqrson, Moody, in
Ladies’ Home Journal..
Hot Lemonade for Crip.
A correspondent of the New York
Tribune thinks it may interest the
public in general to know that in
]889,. during the first influenza epi¬
demic, tb§ hoard of health of Lon¬
don, qdvsed the public aljiictod with
,t!)o disease to make free use of hot
lemonade. The perspiration caused
thereby is.in most cases sufficient to
relieve the patient from the attack,,
except where medical aid is abso¬
lutely necessary. In bronchial
troubles the acid of lemon juice re¬
lieves-the throat from irritation,
acting afvthe same time as a disin¬
fectant^ /diluted As the lemon juice, even
when in small proportions
with water, will kill cholera and
other bacilli therein contained, it is
not to.be wondered at that it will
,also destroy the so-called influenza
hacillgs.
What, recks it that the starving
woman,was once a had character?
,What matters it if the man whose
family is freezing for want of cloth¬
ing was a vagabond?. Did Christ
intend that this class should he cut
off from the charity of their fellows?
jNo, indeed, these sufferers are given
jus for a purpose. Shout and sing
and pray for a week if you please,
but one little act of genuine charity
is worth more in the sight of God
and the angels than all the outward
show.—Waycross Herald* True,
Judge, and the words you have ut¬
tered ought to he framed in gold
and hung on the horn of the moon
where the so-eallcd Christians of the
whole earth could read them. The
practical is too generally lost sight
of in religious matters, and without
jt religion is a mockery,.for Christ:
has said that “Faith without works
is dead.”' .
Years ago Elder W. E. Morris
sold fish by the wagon load in Alap.
aha, and realized handsome profits
from the sales. Speaking on this
subject, the B. C. News says: Eld.
W. E. Morris and his son, E. T.,
have demonstrated very clearly that
fish culture affords a splendid profit
on the money invested. The Morris
pond is known far and wide for the.
number of fine fish of all kinds its
waters contain. The income from
the sale of fish from this pond every
year for the past fifteen is worth the
profit on a good cotton crop. It
pays to raise fish if you have the
right kind of a spot.
“The best one on the cold weath¬
er,” said a jolly, rubicund fellow,
“wa.- lovvn on Decatur street. One
b in asked another to take a drink,
but before the words could reach his
thirsty-’companion they froze hard
in the i.ucvriphere. The thirsty one
was not to be cheated out of -his
drink by the temperature, however,
and quickly taking his friend’s
words, carried.them to the nearest
bar, thawed them oiii, and answered,
'Yes, thank you; Tom and Jerry, if
you please.'”—Atlanta Journal.

In an interview with, a, Herald re¬
