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 a s a renegade. You have it Witliiu you to be a man or not l«st as you choose. . It Tf may you give way to low and m orthy desires, such is the ; 7a HYiHYtI fig Ip ?p r \> 4 ty -s / 1 / A / © V jJJJ * V CONYERS, GA.

But do not ex¬ pect it unless you have earned it Do not hang around and ex¬ pect some fellow more indus triou 3 and painstaking than yourself to make money and then divide it with you. Scorn such a thought. You will find the world fail of generous and helpful people, if you will only Aow a aiapocauoo to self. You will find them exact ly the opposite if you do not. try 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 tend te you own business. Try tc leave the world better than you found it. Live like a man and when your time comes to die men may be able to say that you died like a man A 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 ery yciu* before oui* ^jgs. Hu - 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.
