It is unmanly to use
a pnn’s 1Ullu failings ° behind
even him . . and
pis back to do injury
wiong Scorn to do it. Better
face face and j i have
meet him to
it out, if you have anything
against him. Do not slip a
round and by means and low
insinuations and innuendoes
strive to injure his fair name.
God nates a liar, a malicious,
nn derhanded liar, and every
honest and pure-minded man
and women despises a liar.
Had you not rather be hated
vigerously than held in con
tempt? If you do such un
worthy deeds as that, some oa 3 r ,
sooner or later, they will be
found out on you. Then how
mean you will feel. Worst of
all, your conscience will accuse
you constantly and you will feel
that you deserve the contumely
of all. You will feel uneasy in
the presence of the man whom
you have maligned. If you are
provoked at the conduct of an¬
other, or if he has given you
just cause to resent his action,
go to him like a man and have it
out. No matter what else you
may aspire to, begin by trying
to be a full grown man. Be a
manly man. Do not covet your
neighbor’s possessions- By
your neighbor I mean just
what the Bible means, the oth
er fellow, Do not envy a man
something that he has and that
you have not, but try to profit
by the gifts that God has giv
en you.
Be a whole-souled, big-heart
ed fellow, When you go into
a thing, go into it with all your
miglit. You may be a great
conqueror although you never
grasped a sword hilt in all your
life. There are other foes to
ccnquei than those who keep
step to the sound of trumpet
and drum. Some of the bravest
dseds that were ever done were
accomplished in the by- ways of
life. Some of the grandest
triumphs that were cvei attain¬
ed were dene in such a quiet
way that the world forgot to
applaud. Some of the most
supreb victories of the world
were won in the lone watches
of the night when the sublim
est courage was required to
sustain a man against himself
and his own evil passions.
But remember, my sou, to the
victors beloug the spoils and
great are the spoils when a
man conquers himself
Be a man my son, above all
things I e a man. Be a true,
patriotic, law-loving citizen
Be proud that you are an Amer¬
ican and a Georgian. There is
no nobler trait planted in the
bosom of a man than pride of
birth. Stick up for your coun¬
try under any and all circum¬
stances. I had rather water the
flowers 011 your grave with my
tears than to know you was re¬
creant to your duty as a patriot
I had rather see you honorably
Acad than dishonorable living

to better your own condition.
Above all ambitions crave
that of beiug a manly man.
Strive to win the good opinion
of others by keeping yourself
under the tongue of good re¬
ports. Make friends of all who
are worthy of being such. It
is easy to make true, warm
hearted friends if you go about
it in the proper spirit. Do not
look at every man as your prop
er prey. When you come in
contact with another man think
if veu can do anything to make
him feel better. If lie is de¬
spondent cheer him up. A
kind word cost nothing, but ah,
the good it may it may do.
Don’t be deceitful. Don’t tell
malicious lies about otuers.
Don’t tell the truth if it is n sa
greeable and can seive no ood
purpose. Remain silent At

tc leave the world better than

die men may be able to say

hove all things, strive to be a
manly man -M.M. F. in Rome
Tribune.
Wayesboro Free citizen : The
planters who have stock (mules,
horses and cows), anim li that
frequently fall into the hands
of brutes to be cared for, ought
to organize societies for the
prevention of cruelty to animals.
It would be mouey in their
pockets in the end if they would
assist in sending to the chain
gang every brute that cruelly
treats a domestic animal. Cer¬
tainly nothing can be more bru¬
tal than the neglect to feed an
imals, so many of which are
wantonly starved to death iv

man interest ought to awaken
attention, if not human sympa¬
thy for inocent and defenseless
dumb animals that suffer and
labor so much for mankind.
