CONYERS, GEORGIA, NOVEMBER 27, 1886.
PLAIN TALK TO YOUNG MEN.
Remember, my young friend, that
the world is older than you by sev
trial years; that for thousands of
years it lias been full of smarter
anil better young men than your¬
self; that when they died the old
globe went whirling on and not one
man in ten millions went to the fune¬
ral or even heard of them. Be smart
as you can, of course. Know as
much as you can. Sited the light
of your wisdom abroad in the world,
but don’t try to dazzle or astonish
the people with it. And don't im¬
agine a thing is so simple because
you may happen to think it is.
i Don't be too sorry for your father
because lie knows so much less tliau
you do. He used to think he was as
much smarter than his father as you
i think you are smarter than yours.
The world .Isas great need of
young men, but no greater need than
the young men have of the world
Your clothes fit you better than your
father's fit him; they cost more*mc:n
ey; they are more stylish. He used
to be straight and nimble, and per¬
haps thought his father old fashion¬
ed. Your moustache is neater, the
cut of your hair is better, and you
are pretier—oh, far prettier—than
‘pad But, young man, the old gen¬
tleman gets the biggest salary, and
bis homely, scrambling signature on
the business end of a check will
drain more money out of the bank in
five minutes than you could get out
with a ream of paper and a copper
plate signature in six months.
Young men are useful and they
are ornamental, and we all love them,
and we couldn’t engineer a picnic
successfully without them. But they
are no novelties. They have been
here before. Every generation has
a full supply of t hem, and will have
to the end of time; and each crop
will think themselves quite ahead of
the last, and will live to be called old
fogies by their sons. Go ahead.
Have jour day. Your sons will, by
and by pity you for your old, old
ways. Don’t be afraid that your
merit will not be discovered. People
all over tha world are hunting for
you, and if you are worth finding
they will find you. A diamond isn’t so
easily found as a quartz pebble, but
people search for it all the more in
tcntly.—Exchange.
Gov. Gordon has designated the
fourt h Wednesday in November as
! “Georgia Arbor Day.’’ Tills is a
new day in the calendar of the state,
although it is one which has long
been observed in some of the states.
The observance of the day is kept
by planting trees to in some mens
ure replace the ravages made in the
forests by Die relentless woodsman
Great as is the wealth of timber in
Georgia, there are sections of the
State where the forest have been so
devasteu that timber is scarce. In
those sections where timber is plen
tiful it would be well to observe
the day by setting out fruit trees.
When a girl desires to refuse an
offer of marriage without being ah
nipt, all that she has to do—instead
of saying no is to draw a big revol
ver and tell him to get. That will
give the man time to think over
what she means.
Education is something like love.
Most men think they have got it till
they' come to be about 40 years old.

Nobody knows of the work it makes
To keep the home together: it takes,
Nobody knows of the steps
Nobody knows-—but mother.
Nobody tistejis to childish woes,
Which kisses only smother;
Nobody’s pained by naughty blows,
Nobody—only mother.
Nobody knows of the sleepless care
Nobody Bestowed on baby brother;
knows of the tender pray’r,
Nobody—only mother.
Nobody knows of the lessons taugbt
Of loving one another;
Nobody knows of the patience sought,
Nobody —only mother.
Nobody knows of the anxious fears,
Lest darling# may not weather
The storm of life in after years,
Nobody knows—but. mother.
Nobody kneels at the throne above
To thank the Heavenly Father,
For that sweetest gift—a mother’s love;
Nobody can—but mother.

STEWART PAPER MILL
SHORT DESCRIPTION OF A THRIVING
COMPANY.
Wliat the Enterprise is Under its Present
Able Management,
The Rockdale Paper Mill of this
county w .ns built in the year 1870
an( j j s recognized by all mechanics
as the finest mill in the southern
states. It was owned originally by
a stock company. New managers
have stepped in and out to give
place to their successors, but all the
while the standard of the turned out
work has been maintained through
out. The name and fame of our
thrivin'* county has in a measure
bmi conm . t . te( j Wlt li the rise and
p|. 0 g CSg u f t,|ic enterprise, It is sii
uated upon a commanding rise from
which possibly the Psalmist drew
his inspiration when he sang of the
eternal hills. The tireless waters
in their heavy roll have spoke the
fame of their place, and rose up
grandly in rivalry to the powers that
turn the humming w heel or drive
l | u . shaft
The mill at present is a decided
success. The managers are men of
native tact and energy, and they
have the cash, the mover of the
world’s enterprises.
In its infancy the mill furnished
paper to almost every printing office
in the state. The Atlanta Cotistitu
lion bought and used thousands of
pounds of papers manufactured at
this [dace. For several years past,
however, the company refused to
make newspaper, using the much in
ery in the manufacture of wrapping
and manilla paper. Ton after ton of
these grades have been freighted off.
This year the mill was incorporat¬
ed under a new name of
STEWART PATER JlANUFACTl KINO COM¬
PANY,
and lias siuce that time been under
tlie direction of ihe Stewart Bros., of
Atlanta, and 3D - . B. N. Mclvnight of
this county. Unuer its new manage¬
ment every thing lias assumed a
thoroughly business air. A few
years ago the mill was at the top
round of prosperity, but by some
crook or turn it did to a certain ex¬
tent lose its looting. At this time,
however, everything is free from
clouds and is now dazzling in the
brilliancy of its own splendor. The
management is line, and in a few
years the remaining unutalized pow¬
ers will he made to turn out its rolls
of priceless worth. Every week
some new machinery is stationed at
the Paper mill, to contribute its
help to the general make up of the
foremost ini)) in the country. Worn
out pieces are placed aside for better
and more improved machinery.
One fact is gratifying to all. To
day the mill turns out per day about
2,000 pounds of paper with the same
ex|M>nac it formerly turned out 800
to 1,000 pounds. This shows very
clearly that the managers are wide
awake, and are pressing everything
ahead on business principles.
As to ourselves we have contract
ed with the Stewart Paper manufac¬
turing company (o furnish the Solid
South with all its paper, and this
number is printed on the first n< ws
made at the mill in some years. The
company has agreed to furnish us
even though it lias to increase the
mill’s capacity.
Tiis present successful manage
ment of the mill will give an addi¬
tion impetus to manufacturing en
terprises in this county. It is suf
indent proof that our county can be
eorne a truly great manufacturing
locality.
There is not a superior water
power to the Paper mill in the
whole country. There is sufficient
water, if properly utilized to employ
at least 1,0U0 men. It could run
an immense cotton factory.
The mill is only two miles from
the depot, convenient enough to suit
all. There is no doubt hut that our
people will give every encourage
mont t0 the P ros P ective enterprises
