The Truth in a Nut Shell.
Gov. Francis, of Missouro, is
evidently one public man who
appreciates his home paper.
In speaking of the local paper
he says:
“ The editor, in proportion to
his means, does more for his
country than any other ten
men ; he ought to he supported,
not because you like him or his
writings, or not supported be¬
cause you dislike him and disa¬
gree with his writings, but all
should support a local paper,
because it is the best invest¬
ment a cummunity can make ;
it may not be brilliantly edited
or crowned with thought, hut
financially it is more benefit to
the people than teacher or
preacher. Understand me; I
do not say morally and intelect
ually, but financially; and yet on
the moral question you will find
most of the local papers on the
right side. To-day the editors
of the home papers do the most
for the least of any men on
earth. ”
Gov. Francis is eminently
correct. The local paper if a
live one, does more for a town
than all other issues combined
can possibly do. But if it is a
dead paper, with no en¬
terprise and no “ git up and git,”
it does a town harm in that it
advertises it as a sleepy old
place with not a enough life to
support a paper.
You should support your lo¬
cal paper liberally ; it is the Lost
investment you can make. The
better you support it, the more
it will do fi>r you and your town.
—Dalton Argus.
A Farewell.
Editor S. W. Knox, of the
Malvern (Ohio) Doings, did not
make a financial success of his
paper, and he bids farewell to
the constituency whi< li failed to
give his paper a decent support
thus:
“ In bidding adieu to Malvern
as the scene of our struggles [in
the field of journalism, our read¬
ers will parden a brief outline
of the causes which have com¬
pelled our departure. Our lack
of judgement and failure to
comprehend the essential little¬
ness of the place—our expecta¬
tions that we could dispel the
hoary prejudice and burst the
rust-eaten shackles of rural
conventionalities, have recoiled
with stupendous force upon our
pocketbook. We have cried,
‘ bread, bread, ’ where there was
no bread. We have wasted our
energies and dulled the edge of
our wit in trying to make blood
gush from a turnip.
“We have launched where
there was no mirth. We have
wept where tears were un¬
known. We have danced and
the daughters of music are
dumb ; we have stung you into
madness ; we have tickled you
under the chin ; we have nursed
and coddled the lean and mea¬
gre truth ; we have created and
disbursed tho large and lusty
eye, The fruits of our efforts
have been apples of Sodom and
our belly is filled with wind,
Were poverty a sin, this were a
hamlet in hell; were selfishness
a virtue, this were a palace in

CONYERS, GEORGIA, SATURDAY APRIL 1, 1893.
Why Men ReMain Bachelors.
It is said that there are
3,000,000 young men in the
United States of marriageable
age who obstinately refuse to
provide themselves with wives.
In trying to account for this
condition of affairs the New
York Advertiser says that it
is probably true that our ex¬
travagant style of living, as
compared with that of former
times, is one of the fiffective
influences.
The cost of supporting a wife
and raising a family is much
larger than it used to be, and
this feature of the matter often
gives cause on both sides.
We have come to measure so
many other things by money
that matrimony has not escap¬
ed the rule.
The young people are disin¬
clined to start in an humble
way and gradually improve
their situation.
They want all that their par¬
ents have without waiting and
striving for it. Many proposals
are unquestionably delayed or
rejected on this account.
Then it is well known that
the new avenues of employ¬
ment opon to women have made
them more independent and
probably also more exacting as
to the qualifications of hus¬
bands.
It is nearly so common as it
once was for girls to marry sim¬
ply in order to secure a home
and a living ; they are able now
to earn good wages and to take
their time about assuming the
duties of wives and mothers.
We may safely believe, more¬
over, thas the progress of wo¬
men in education and in social
power has led them to look less
favorably upon the connubial
condition of subordinating then
hearts to their heads, so to
speak.
Felix Corput, a well known
farmer of Floyed county, says :
“ The farmers have little money
now'and they will have less
next fall. With a good season
the cotton crop will reach ten
million hales. In spite of all
that Is said or done, the acreage
will be increased largely, and,
with an average season, the
crop will he larger than ever be¬
fore. ” This means that there
will he hard times among the
farmers of Georgia next year.
However, we hope Mr. Corput
is in error, and that there will
be no increased acreage in Geor¬
gia this year. Georgia can’t af¬
ford it.
A prosperous New York mer¬
chant says : “ When you put
an advertisement in a live pa¬
per, you catch the ear of the
cream of the population. You
go straight into the homes of
the people who cau buy and
who are ready to buy. By fol¬
lowing this rule I have attained
my success. ”

In the Country.
Of late days it has been so
charming in the country. I do
«, The veiy air to full of
dreamy delight in spring. The
wind gets into one’s pulses and
steals into one’s brain like old
wine. There is the pungent
order of burning brush, the en
tbrawling perfume of bruised
blossoms that the wind has
handled too rudely, there the
rollicking earrol of birds and the
delirious essences of life.
I love to sit in lazy warmth
on a hillside and watch the ne¬
groes atwork in the lowgrounds.
I enjoy the quaint music of their
old-time songs, the ones they
used to sing in ante helium
times amid far-stretching fields
of sugar-cane and corn. Ne¬
groes are the happiest of all our
people. Their simple minstrelsy
hursts as naturally from their
throats as a bird’s note. I sit
on my hillside and watch them
thriftily pile the logs, hunch the
brush, and sing and laugh while
the big fires leap up higher and
higher. They enjoy the labor
for the sake of the leaping flame
—they enjoy it as a child en¬
joys to make a frog-house, to
have the pleasure of demolish¬
ing it.
They are a simple people,
those servants of men—simple,
in a measure harmless, and in a
gre; degree peculiar to a time
ana i place in the world’s histo¬
ry, But in the course of time,
they will go like the Indian. It
ma> not come so rapidly, hut we
shall see it it.—Ex
And in the golden gloom of
the twilight that follows the
sunset, I sit on the shady back
varanda and enjoy to see them
come in from theiield, The long
row of dusty, sweating mules
and horses with their jingling
gear and hapy riders weary with
their day’s labor, hut still sing¬
ing and chatting volubly as they
come filing into the gear house!
I shall be sorry to see the
tain rung down!
An exchange says: “ No
words can express how much
the world owes to sorrow. Most
of the Psalms were born in a
wilderness ; most of the Epistles
were written in a prison. The
greatest thoughts of the great¬
est think’rs have paused through
fire. The greatest poets have
‘learned in suffering what they
tanght in song.’ In bonds, Bun
yan lived the allegory that he
afterward indited, and we may
thank Bedford J ail for the ‘ Pil¬
grim’s Progress, ’ Take comfort,
then, afflicted Ohristains! when
God is about to make pre-emi¬
nent use of a man He puts him
in the fire. ”

“Happiness in Holt” is fiw startling
title of an artic-lo contributed by Mr. St.
George Mivart to The Nineteenth Cen
tury, wherein the writer endeavors to
attack the authoritative sources, “tlio
Catholic doctrine,” on this subject. Tho
oni'o universal conception of eternal
physical sufferings suggested in Dante's
famous line, “Leave every hope behind,
yo who enter here,” is traced by Mr. Mi
vart to the necessarily coarso symbolism
of early times. In tlio view of what
this writer regards as “tho most author¬
itative and dogmatic Christian teach¬
ing,” those sufferings lio mainly in con¬
sciousness of having lost “tho beatific
vision. Even for the worst of thoso who
inhabit “that obscure sojourn," tho
church, according to bis ingenious soph¬
istry, holds that existence is acceptable
and is by them preferred to nonexist¬
ence.
Mr. St. George Mivert concludes with
tho extraordinary passage: “Hell in its
widest sense—namely, as including all
thoso blameless souls who do not enjoy
that vision—must bo considered ns for
them an abode of happiness transcend¬
ing all our most vivid anticipations, so
that man's natural capacity for happi¬
ness is there gratified to tho very utmost,
nor is it even possible for the Catholic
theologian of the most sovero and rigid
school to deny that, tlms considered,
there is, and there will for all eternity
bo. a real and truo happiness in hell,”
Opium n ICt From (lod.
At a meeting of tho woman’s mission¬
ary conference in Toronto Miss Beatty,
a medical missionary from tho western
part of India, spolco against the efforts
making to restrict the use of opium by
tho natives i (:' that country. 8he said it
would bo cri’el to take it away from suf¬
fering womanhood until civilization had
opened tho door of isenonas to medical
men or there were enough women doc¬
tors to relieve the agonies which women
suffer and must bear without treatment.
Opium is inexpensive. All women take
it. All babies aro drugged with it, and
the little child wives aro relieved by its
aid.
“I have seen,” said Miss Beatty, “a
little girl of 13 with her own baby on
hi r lap. It was drugged and no trouble
to her. How could it bo when it was
asleep? And oho would put up her little
hands and plead for a doll to play with
while »ho was freo from tho earn of her
little one. While tho present awful state
of tilings maintains in India, opium is
something to thank Hod f i." Home

It is tho ambition of the average young
doctor or medical graduate to get into
ono of the New York hospitals. The va¬
cancies are not numerous, and there is
keen competition for the places on tho
hospital staff's. Appointments are made,
after examination by medical boards, on
the approval of the department of chari¬
ties and correction. The department lias
not tlio power to make appointments out¬
side of this routine. The examinations
arc held in April and May, and the com¬
