A Good Name. Thc most precious thing this aide the grave is a good liaipe. Hut what a lit;lg vford or low whisper may dypiivg, us, of it! It is the richest ppss^asioit wo can have, and i- w.oil 1)1 -choose it rather than groat, riches. There is more comfort, more enjoyment and more pleasure in it than anything in life. A good name will secure for you the esteem and confidence of your fellow men. It is a protection against all evil re¬ ports or suspicion that may arise— 4 v s ',i’!,dig>s tr11,) friends around yqu Cpit stand,by you iq a!} trials — it wi!j.jke ; ar you upa.jl gijr.e you QQiiragq.y,,stand alj had reports or painful suspicions, with, a clear con¬ science—-if, will giv v e yq|j,more hap¬ piness ai)(l pleasure, iq one day than anything,that cqujd be mentioned—- it wi|} gige you, lasting enjoyment, A,good name will live when we are Ho more, and to it we look for re¬ gards unbending. Wo look for truth, duty, benevolence and inde¬ pendence, and are generally sure to find it, and U' we fail, there is most ulyyays something wrong, Vjoys and girls, you must shim, the first evil influence—you mpst shun the first false step—y.QVh kV-Wt shun bad companion?—yog roust, shun the first temptations -if you never take thg first, step, you I*ill never take thy scgqvyL one, but if you take the qne, you aro al¬ most sure to take,tjye second, and then your navpe is rniqetU-.-the plunge is taken, and all is Ifist, Let me urge yon, my, friends, to have a purpose in life and lyt your aim be high, and evisv s^fjy.e to reach it. Pursue it with such firmness, that nq temptation can, weaken it,, and.yoyi will be almost sure tojpaeh, it, and,then there.is a good name, glory and fame to live for and to be proud of, and you will have friends on every side; while, if you have no purpose, no aim, in life, nothing to strive for, you will not be content anywhere nor never rise in this typrld higher than you now are; and there will be many doubts as to you rising in another. You will never have a friend that will amount to anything more than yourself. It is the first step that leads you on, and while it is not impossible to retrace that step, it is hardly ever done. You might overcome all evil habits if you tried hard enough; but it would be much easier not to begin to form such habits than to turn, from them after tj^ey are begun. Even if the first,step should be re¬ traced, the ccmsfeqnejiees can neiVpr ; be recalled—they will always re¬ main—and no matter how you strive to bury, them, you caUilfit,. If you, have a- good name, you musttmske. it,.for in no-other way can yoKuget it. A.good name, is a pvizo. worth laboring, for, and yon have only to fix your eye on it and press onward with firmness of mind and it is yours. If yon have formed any bad habits break them off now, and f(never turn from them. It is easier to do so now than to wait longer, for in the race for a good name you must start true and keep on to the end. Farmer Girl. Millions Given Away. It is certainly gratifying to the public to know of one concern in the land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy and suffering. The proprietors of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, have given away over ten million trial bottles of this great medicine; aui have the satisfaction oE knowing it has absolutely cured thousands of hopeless cases.

A north Georgia editor builds up tbe following and from behind it winks at the girls; “A woman— God bless her—if she really loves a man, has no thought of any other; one is all sufficient; but a man may love a woman wit); - warmth of a Simoon, and at the same time feel like a good, healthy south wind to¬ wards a dozen others. That is the difference between a man and a wo¬ man; the difference between the good and the bad. One average woman has enough goodness in her to supply an army of men.” Scat’s Corner. Mr. and Mrs. J.

In I bill Caine’s new novel there are a pair of delightful lovers who married and who formulate the following rules for their guidance: 1. Since you are married y on may as well make the best of it. 2. So make some maxims and,try to live up to them. 3. Don’t be discouraged if you fail. You will,fail, but perhaps you won’t always fail. -1. Never both be cross at the same time. Wait your turn, 5. Never cease to be lovers. If you cease, some on,e else may begin. 6. You were gentleman and lady before you were husband and wife. (Don’t forget it. 7. Keep yourself at youy best.. It is a compliment to your partner. 8. Keep your ideal high. You may, missdt, but it is better to miss a high-one than hit a low one. t). A blind love is a foolish love. Encourage the best. 10. Permanent mutual’ respect is necessary, for permanent mutual love. 11. 1 he tight cord is the easiest to snap, 12. If you take liberties, be pre¬ pared to give them. 13. There is only one thing worse than quarrels in public. That is caresses. 14. Money is not essential to hap¬ piness, but happy people usually have enough. 15. To save some. 1(1. The easiest way of saving is to do without things. 17. If you can’t then, you had better do without a wife. 18. The man who respects his wife docs not turn her into a mendi¬ cant. Give her a purse of her own. ltd If you save, save at your own expense. 20. In all matters of money, pre¬ pare always for the worst and hope for the best.

It was decided to call the new enterprise The Strick- land Cotton Mills complimentary to Mr. Frank Strickland, who did so much to bring the enterprise into existence, Mr, E. P. S. Denmark, counsel for the new enterprise, read the aj plication for a charter and it was adopted and ordered published. It appears in another column of to ; day’s Times. Subscriptions for stock in the fac¬ tory reached jjfl 48,000 yesterday and the nalahce will be forthcoming in a day or so. It is said that there are a dozen men who will, subscribe the balance in a moment if called upon. The promoters of the factory desire all to have stock in the concern, but no one will lie asked to subscribe unless they wish to do so as an in¬ vestment. A location for the mill has not been selected yet, but several are under consideration and one of them will be chosen and work begun up¬ on the mill plant in a short wllilg.

Alarm,, of Jeffersonville, Ind., having seen, in the Hopkins¬ ville Kentuckian an account of a case of hydrophobia in North Chris¬ tian, furnishes the following receipt for the treatment of such cases: “The time between the biting of any animal by a dog showing .signs of hydrophobia is not less than ten days, but may be. nine months. Af¬ ter the animal, has been rabid, a bite or,scratch with his tooth upon a per¬ son or slobber coining in contact with a sore, or raw place, would pro¬ duce hydrophobia just as though he had bean bitten.by a mad dog. Hy¬ drophobia oan be prevented and I will.give what is known to he an in¬ fallible remedy, if properly admin¬ istered, for man or beast. A dose for a horse or cow should be about four times as great as for a person. It is not too late to give the medi¬ cine any time before the spasm eomes on. “The first dose for a person is one and a half ounces of Elecampane root, bruised, put in a pint of new milk, reduced to one-lialf by boiling, then take all at one dose in the morning, fasting until afternoon, or at least a very light diet after several hours have elapsed. The second dose the same as the first, except take two ounces of the root. Third dose same as last, to be taken every other day. Three doses are all that is needed and there need be no fear. This I know’ from my own expe¬ rience, and I know of a number of other cases where it has been entire¬ ly successful. This is no guess work. These persons I allude to were bit¬ ten by their own dogs, that had been bitten by rabid dogs and were penned up to see if they would go mad. They did go mad and bit th.e persons. This remedy has been used in and about Philadelphia for about forty years, with great success, and is known as Goodman’s remedy. I am acquainted with a physician who told me he knew of its use for over thirty years and never knew of a case that failed where it was prompt¬ ly administered. Among other cases he mentioned was one where a mutf- ber of cows had been bitten by a mad dog. To half the number they administered the remedy, to the other half none. The latter all died of hydrophobia, while those that took the Elecampane disease.” and milk, showed no signs of the Christian Scienoe. A reporter for the New York \\ orld, who has taken a degree at Christian Science). College—if it called a collage—says that science leaches that love may cure hands, and that through faith aud Christian Science the baUi-head may j be fnadc to grow a beautiful ami ' ambrosial thatch. There seems to he about sw much hocus-pocus in this Christian Science business as Hermann ever made use of to dis- tract, tig; atfeution of his audience while he performed the tine points of his Hloig’.il-of hand, -Savannah N ews. We do not knpw, what relation tlie Christian Science business of New York bears, to the “faith cure” doctrine being, preached in some portions of Dodge-county, but from all accounts they are very much on a parity with one another when it comes to the hocus-pocus element of it mentioned by, the Morning News. Faith is a great thing, but we do not believe that it will effect a cure of anything when it is exer¬ cised by some other than th.e person, afflicted,, who in most cases is oper¬ ating solely to make a living with¬ out workingi'or it —Eastman Timesf- Journal, Speiit,» Ciurn! Farm Doctoring. Mr. A. N. Noell, of Asberville, Kansas, says he spent a good farm doctoring himself for chronic diar¬ rhoea but got no relief and was afraid that he must die. He chanced to get, bold of a bottle of Chamber¬ lain’s Colie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Kemedy and was permanently cured by it. For salo by Dr. G. H. Macon & Co.,. Druggists. It is related that a Georgia editor received the following missive from a delinquent subscriber: “If you say another word in your paper about the money I owe you, 1 will come to town and maul the devil out of you.” The editor replied: “Come along and do it.

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, N. C. It may be a question whether the editor of a newspaper has the right to publicly recommend any of the various proprietary medicines which flood the market, yet as a preventive of suffering we feel it a duty to say a good word for Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known and used this medi¬ cine in our family for hventy years and have always found it reliable. In.many cases a dose of this remedy would save hours of suffering while a physician is awaited. Wo do not believe in depending implicitly on any medicine for a cure, but we do believe that if a bottle of Chamber¬ lain’s Diarrhoea Remedy ware kept on hand and administered at the inception of an attack much suffer¬ ing might be avoided and in very maDy cases the presence of a physi¬ cian would not be required. At least this has been onr experience during the past twenty years. For sale by Dr. G. M.
