CONYERS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 1889.
“DON’T WORRY, DICK. ”
When poor Dick Townshend,
the Illionois congressman, was
dying, that last terrible forenoon
in the Riggs house, when there
was nothing but delirium
agony for the sufferer, he called
now and then, as his mind would
clear a little, for Tom Lowery,
He was an old friend, the big rail
road man of Minneapolis, whom
he could somehow faintly remem
ber was in town. Mr. Lowery
came to the bedside at once.
“What can I do for you, Dick?”
ho asked. “Is there anything I
can do? Only say what it is,
Dick.”
The dying congressman was
able to tell him in the next few
moments that a mortgage for 15,
000 on some property of his here
in the city worried him, because
it might make trouble for his wife
As soon as he could gather his
friend’s meaning Mr. Lowery re¬
tired for a moment to a corner.
“Here, poor fellow,” he said, as
he held a piece of paper up before
the eyes of the sufferer.
“Then! Perhaps that will relieve
you. Don’t worry,don't worry,
Dick."
The piece of papier was a check
for $5,000.

NEGROES SKIPPING,
It is stated that Mrs. Harrison
turned all the colored servants
out of the white house, and filled
their places with white ones.
Some of these colored people
have been in the white house for
many years, and have come to re
gard it as their home. A re
publican leader is in possession,
and while lie talks sympathetical
ly about the colored race, neither
he nor bis family desire any of
that race in their home. Under
the Harrison regime all the white
house servants will be white, ex¬
cept perhaps the coachman, and
lie is retained simply because be
has held the place so long lie lias
become a sort of llxture. If tlie
President in making appointments
follows tlie same policy that Mrs.
Harrison lias adopted, no colored
folks need apply this admiustra
tion.

A prominent physician, says the

are the best medicine I know of
for colds. Feed onions raw, boil¬
ed or baked, to the children three
or four times a week and they’ll

AH! FOR SAMMY.
It is stated that the Rev. Sam
W. Small will probably be a can¬
didate for congress from tlie Fifth
Georgia district next year, and
that he will depend upon the pro¬
hibitionists and the republicans to
elect him. A republican newspa¬
per, commenting on this, says
that there can be no doubt that
Mr. Small would sweep tlie dis¬
trict, as he has the nerve to make
an aggessive campaign. It will
be remembered, however, that
Mr. Small made an aggessive
campaign for state senator from
the Atlanta district last year, and
that he was defeated. The peo¬
ple of this state are not going to
send him to congress as long as
liis course has a tendency to di¬
vide the Democratic party of the
state, and it is doubtful if they
would elect him to office under
any circumstances.—Savannah

THE BRIDLE.
“Don’t go without a bridle,
boys,” was my grunfutker’s favo¬
rite bit of advice.
Do you suppose we were all
teamsters or jockeys? No such
thing. If he heard one cursing
and swearing, or given to much
vain and foolish talk, “That man
has lost his bridle,” he would say.
Without a bridle, the tongue,
though a little member, “boasteth
great things.” It is an unruly
evil, full of deadly pois n.” Put a
bridle on, and it is one of the best
servants the body and soul have.
“I will keep my mouth with a
bridle,” said King David; and who
can do better than follow his ex¬
ample?
When my grand father saw a man
drinktng and carousing, or a boy
spending all bis money for cakes
and candy, “Poor fellowl” ho
would say, he’s left off his bridle.’
The appetite needs a relining.
Let it loose, and it will run you to
gluttony, drunkenness, and all
sorts of disorder. Be sure to keep
a bridle on your appetite; don’t
let it be master. And don’t neg¬
lect to have one on your passions.
They go mad if they get unman¬
ageable, driving you down a blind
and lioad-long course to ruin.
Keep tlie clieck-rein tight: don't
let it slip; hold it steady. Never
go without your bridle.
That was the bridle my grand¬
father meant—the bridle of self
government. Parents try to re¬
strain and check their children,
and you can generally tell by their
behavior what children have such
wise and faithful parents. But
parents cannot do everything.
And some children have no pa¬
rents to caro for them. Every
boy must have Ids ovu
bridle, and every girl must have
hers. They must learn to check
and govern themselves, Helf
government is the most difficult
and most important government
in the world. It becomes easier
every day, if you practice it with
steady and resolute will. It is
the foundation of excellence. It
is the cutting and pruning which
makes the noble and vigorous tree
of character.—Ex.

GRADY’S ELOQUENCE.
Henry W. Grady made a speech
at Albany, Ga., last Thursday, and
from his address we take these
two beautiful paragraps: “The
Georgia farmer has much to blame
himself for. One crop never made
a country great and nover will.
When, however, every farmer in
this state, unslaved by debt can
sit down among bis own dairies
and orchurds, and eat the bread
from Ins own field and the meat
from his own pasture, pitch his
crop in his own wisdom and sell it
in his chosen market, then we will
see a prosperity in Georgia of
which you have not dreamed
heretofore." The love of the
soil drew out one of Mr. Grady’s
most eloquent passages, which
was as follows: “My friends,
what we need, it seems to mo, is
to love Georgia; not to love the
name, but to love the Soil; to pin
our faith to the old red hills and
to love the soil, the dear body of
our old mother; to love the moun¬
tains thut aro her springing
breasts; the acres that hold her
treasures; the dimpled valleys
in which her beauty rests; the
rivers that bind ber about us a
silver girdle; the brooks, which
ring her happy laughter; the winds
that sing her songs of lulluby and
of peace."
