Poor Town, Poor Papers,

of which cannot be clouted. n~ i-^

It afxorcis „ feome people great
pleasure to beat the newspapers.—

We heart a man say not long ago
that he had read an Americus pa¬
per three ysars and had not paid
a cent. He actually bragged a
bout it. We would not trust such
a creature as far as you could
throw a bull by the tail. It would
be difficult to point out an instance
where town has grown into import¬
ance that its growth cannot be at¬
tributed to the wont of the news
paper. The newspaper, above all
else in a town, should receive the
hearty support of their own peo¬
ple. Asa rule, if a town has a
poor paper it is because the people
and business men do not* give it.

speak lightly of your homo pape r
ii one of the most unworthy acts
that one can be guilty of, for when
you do so you condemn yourself,
b-.cause it is .an evidence that you
do not give it your support. Would
have a newspaper that you can
be proud of? Then give it
support. You are often urged

its praises, wherever you go ; a

A brother editor who has evi¬

cause a newspaper man duns him
for money. A dun is not an im¬
peachment of a subscriber’s integ¬
rity, but it is the outcropping of
the publisher’s necessity. For in¬
stance a thousand men owe from
ouo to four dollars. He has to
dun them to pay expenses. In

A. M. McELVANY,
BE ALIVE.
If you wish to accomplish any¬
thing in the world, you must be
alive, very mucii alive, alive all
over. Some people seam half dor¬
mant. They impress us as partial
possibilities,—as people who have
discovered only asmall part of the
continent within themselves. Most
of it remains undeveloped territo
iy
A man who doe3 things is one
who is alive to the very tips of his
fingers. He is alert, always on the
watch for opportunities. He does
not give idleness time to dissipate
him. He fights against -the mal¬
ady known as '“tired-feeling,” and
conquers it.
Many a man is Wondering why
he does not succeed, while bis
desk, at which he sits, tells the
story of Ilia life, and shows the
limitations of his capability. The
scattered papers, the unfiled let¬
ters, the disorderly drawers, the
dust in the pigeon holes’, the lay¬
ers of newspapers, of letters, man¬
uscripts , of phamphlets, of empty
envelopes, of slips of paper, all
are telltales.
If I were to hire a clerk, T would
ask no better recommendation
than would be afforded by the con¬
dition of bis desk, or table, or room
or work bench,or counter,or books.
We areal] surrounded by telltales
which are constantly proclaiming
the stories of our lives, cover them
as we will. Our manner, our
our conversation, the glance of
eye, the carnage of the body, ev¬
ery garment we wear, our collars,
neckties and cuffs, all are
our life stories to the world.
We wonder why we do not get
on faster, but these tiny
ers often tell the secret of our pov¬
erty, our limitations, our inferior
p isitions.—Ex.
prettier girls than Pennsylvania.
And that is a direct challenge to
whom it may concern.—Savannah

Tip Last Heard of It.
“My night little boy took the croup one
and soon grew so bad yon
could hear him breathe all over
the house,” says P. J). Reynolds,
Mansfield, 0. i k We feared h«
would die, but a few doses of One
Minute Cough Cure quickly reliev¬
ed him and he went to sleep. That
is the last we heard of the croup.
Now isn’t a cough cure like that
valuable?” One Minute Cough
Cure is absolutely safe and acts
immediately. For coughs, colds,
croup, grip, bronchitis and all
other throat and lung troubles it
is a certain cure. Very pleasant
to take. The little ones like it.
