CONYERS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, JULY 16 9 1889.
APPRECIATION.
Love of appreciation seems to
be instinctive in the whole
creation. Whoever does good
work is encouraged and strength
ened by merited praise. Well
does the writer remember a good
farmer, whose sleek, fat team of
horses were admired by all the
neighbors round about. This
good condition was not a result of
their not being worked hard, for
the farmer did much of the heavy
trucking of the village, over a hilly
road. There was a long, steep
hill between the station and the
village, and here the horses were
allowed several resting spells on
the way up.
Mr. Small always carried a
chunk of wood, with which to
block the wheels during these
rests. Before he started he always
rubbed their noses, patting them
encouragingly, and when he gave
the word, up they went with a
will, till the driver stopped them
for another breathing spell.
When they pulled well, he al
ways petted and praised them,
telling them they were good fel
lows; and they seemed so pleased
at this little act of appreciation
that they would hardly wait to
rest, so eager were they to prove
themselves worthy of the praise,
Children, and grown people,too
are not less susceptible to the in
fluence of encouraging words.
A little fellow of five years of
age was doing something which
his father disapproved.
“My son, you must uot do that,
said his father.
It happened to ho something
which the child wanted to do, and
for an instant he hesitated, as if
questioning what would be the
consequence if he persisted.
Finally his better self triumphed,
and he replied, “All right papa;
I won't do it any more.”
Perhaps most of us would think
that was all there was to he said
about it, and so the fatherthought
but the little fellow evidently had
different ideas, for not long after,
he spoke out:
“Papa, why don’t you tell me,
‘That’s a good boy?’ An’ ’twould
’a’ been easier to he good next
time.”—Ex.

NEVER FORGET ANYTHING.
Charge your mind with your dn
ty. That is largely the true defi
nition of faithfulness. But mem
ory and mistakes are used as apol
ogies a great deal oftener than
necessary. A boy generally beginning bus
iness life will lose his
place, who pleads such an excuse
more than once or twice.
A successful business man says
there were two things which lie
learned when he was eighteen,
which were afterwards of great use
to him, namely, “Never to lose
anything, and never to forget any
thing.” An old lawyer sent him
with an important paper, with
certain instructions what to do
with it.
“But,” inquired the young man,
“suppose I lose it; what shall I do
then?” »
The answer was, with the ut¬
most emphasis, “You must not
lose it.”
“I don’t mean to,” said the
young man, “but suppose I should
happen to?”
But I say you must not happen
to. I shall make no provision for
any .such occurrence. You must
not lose it!”
This put a new train of thought
into the young man’s mind, and
he found that if he was determin
ed to do a thing he could do it.
lie made such provisions against
every contingency that he never
lost anything. Ho found this
equally true about forgetting. If
a certain matter of importance
was to be remembered, he pinned
it down on his mind, fastened it
there, and made it stay.
Take one of Dr. J. H. McLean's
Little Liver and Kidney Pillets at
night before you go to bed and

In a country village not ten
miles from Glasgow, a sweep and
a candy-man had taken refuge for
a night in a barn-loft above the
meeting-place of the Salvation
Army. One night they all met for
the purpose of worship, and the
captain began to preach, which
awakened the sleepers in the loft
by his saying, “O Lord, blow thy
horn, that we may hear.” The
sweep listened, and said to the
candyman, “If he says that again
blow your horn.” It wasrepeated
and the candyman blew his horn.
The captain of the army then said,
“O Lord, show thy face, that we
may see you as you arc.” The
sweep, hearing this, shoved his
head out of the hatch-hole, the
look of which soon emptied the
place, as they thought it was the
devil. Among them was an old,
decrepid woman, who could not
get out soon enough, and cried
out, “Don’t meddle me, don’t med
die me, for Iron. *x*gT<* niton

There are many accidents and
diseases which affect Stock and
cause serious inconvenience and
loss to the farmer in his work,

President Harrison has announ
eed his intention to call an
session of congress to meet
the middle of October.. This
cause little surprise as it has been
generally known for some time
that the leaders of the Rcpubli

extra session. The President
states that his mind inclined that
way before lie heard from the con
grcssional leaders of his party,
He has not yet given the reasons
why he considers an extra session
six weeks in advance of the regu¬
lar session necessary, and it is
probable that the real reasons

of congress have not been fre¬

only to meet emergencies such as

Mrs. Doha Ann Lockwood is
traveling in France, and she gen¬

mentioned by the French news¬

about her only source of satisfac¬

might refrain from making face¬

The following is an extract
made from a speech delivered
by Abraham Lincoln in Septem¬
ber, 1858, less than seven years
before his death: “I am not, nor
nor ever have been, in favor of
bringing about in any way the
social and political equality of
the white and black races, I am
not, nor ever have been, in favor
of making voters or jurors of ne¬
groes, nor of qualifying them to
bold office, nor to intermarry with
white people; and I will say in
addition to this that there is a
physical difference between the
white and black races which I
believe will forever forbid the two
races living together on terms of
social and political equality.

j AN OLD ARGUMENT.
In that beauty part of Germany
which borders on the Rhing
there is a noble castle which lifts
gray old towers aAove the ancient
j forests, where dwelt a nobleman
who had a good and devoted son,
his comfort and his pride,
Once, when the son was away
from home, a Frenchman called,
and, in course of conversation,
spoke in such unbecoming terms
of the great Father in heaven as
to chill the old man’s blood,
“Arc you not afaid of offending
God, ’ said the baron, “by speak¬
ing in this way?”
The foreigner answered with
cool indifference, that he knew
nothing about God, for he had
never seen him.
No notice was taken of this
observation at the time; hut the
next morning the baron pointed
out to the visitor a beautiful pic¬
ture which hung on the wall, and
said, “My son drew that! ’
“He must bo a clever youth,”
replied the Frenchman, bbindy.
Later in the day, as rlio two
gentlemen were walking in the
garden, the baron showed bis
guest many rare plants and flow¬
ers, and on being asked who had
the management of the garden
and the father said with proud
satisfaction: “My son; and ho
knows every plant almost, from
the cedar of Lebanon to the hys¬
sop on the wall.
“Indeed!” observed the Other.
“I shall soon have a very exalted
opinion of him.”
The Baron then took his visitor
to the village and showed him a
neat building which his son had
fitted up for a school, where the
children of the poor were daily
instructed free of {expense.
“What a happy man you must
be,” said the Frenchman, “tohave
such a son!”
“What do you know of my son?”
asked the baron, with a grave
face.
“Why, I have seen his works.
I am sure ho must be both clever
and good, or he would not have
done all you have shown me.”
“But you have never seen him!”
returned the baron.
“No; but I already know him
very well, because I can form a
just estimate of him from his
works.”
“I am not surprised,” said the
baron, in a quiet tone; “and now
oblige me by coming to this win¬
dow and tell mo what you see.”
“Why I see the sun shedding
its glories over one of the greatest
countries in the world, and I be¬
hold a mighty river at my feet,
and a vast range of woods and
pastures, and orchards, and vine¬
yards, and cattle and sheep feed¬
ing in rich fields.”
“Do you see anything to he ad¬
mired in all this?” asked the Bar
on.
“Do you imagine I am lacking
in perception and appreciation? ’
retorted the Frenchman.
“Well, then, if you arc able to
judge of my son's good character
by seeing his various works, how
does it happen you can form no
estimate of God's goodness by
witnessing such proofs of his
handiwork?”—Ex.
