The Daughters of
Wisdom
How beaut ions is tliy to,in. O Wis
dom! How fair thy daughters! Two of
Iby daughters am much desired. Tin'
third, though far the fairest, seems
less besought.
The wise man puts in the mouth of
wisdom the words •'Riches and honor
are with me: Yea, durable riches and
righteousness." The first, to most men
seems the fairest. The second to many,
while the third is the choice of the
few. Many of the sons of men may
happily possess all three; while all
may possess the last two.
And who is Madam Wisdom? The
fear of tlie l.ord is wisdom," and the
writer would sing her praises. Since
the days of our failin' Adam some men
have thought to find profit in wrong
doing, hut wrong doing is the daugh
ter of the old serpent, who is the dad
ay of liars.
We all want to see tiie coming of
prosperity. Are we willing to he coun
seled by wisdom? The same wise man
wrote "Righteousness .exalteth a na
tion," and he might as truthfully have
writteu ‘Svroing doing degradeth a na
tion." Yea, I say. wrong doing de
graded! a people.
The masses of men are misled. They
think to forgot God and ignore his
laws and yet find riches and honor,
caring little for righteousness. It
may be in some eases they do find
riches in this way. hut rarely honor
and never righteousness. It is a vain
tiling to think there is gain in lew-
Icssncss. When the citizenry of any
community turns to lawlessness for
a livelihood every tiling dear to the
soul of man shrinks into sickliness, if
not death. The sense of honor dies.
The pride of home dies. The love of
wife and children is sacrificed to the
rafaeious man of greed. Property val
ues die, farm lands become voluelen.
No self respecting man wants to live
in a community dominated by a law
less people. Lawlessness cheapens life,
blights the happiness of womanhood,
worecks the future of childhood and
youth, destroys the manhood of men.
And wlmt can he expected when lead
ing citizens patronize lawlessness?
They lint become parties to the degra
dation of their fellow men ;parties to
the breakdown of property values.

Thus do they lend themselves to the
speeding of tile downward trend and
make it harder for those who love
their fellowmen to accomplish any
thing. Yes. the daughters of wisdom
are durable riches and honor and
righteousness. And what is righteous
ness? Righteousness comes of fear
ing God and seeking to keep his com
mandments. She is the most beautiful
of the beautiful, fair beyond descrip
tion. She gives full measure and full
weight. She sweareth. to her own hurt
and ehangetli not. She walks in truth
and chastity. She closes the place of
business on Saturday night and keeps
the Sabbath day holy. She neither
kills nor desires to kill, neither com
mits adultery nor desires to do so.
Neither ties nor steals nor profanes
.lie name of God.
O Wisdom, how beautiful thou art!
How beautiful they daughters, the
fairest of whom is righteousness.
“Wisdom erietli without; she uttereth
her voice in the streets," shall we not
heed ?

First National Bank
Finally Liquidated
Re a iver Mr. ('. (’. Sill sold the last
of our First National Bank assets Sat
urday to the highest bidder. Mr. R. O.
Galley bought the forty thousand
building, jiaying three thousand dol
lars therefor. Mr. Harry 1,. White
purchased sixty acres of.land .limiting
Honey Creek and south river for one
hundred and fifty dollars and Mr. G.
('. Sims, purchased the seventy thou
sand dollars of out standing notes for
six hundred and twenty-live dollars.
Ymi might think the lowest bidder
bought these assets from this. We
figure that Carl made sixty-nine iliou
sand three hundred and seventy-five
dollars on his bid and that. Mr. Galley
made thirty odd thousand dollars
while Harry "Faw down and go hum"
on his sixty acres of land unless he
discovers ail oil well or distillery on
it. Be that as it may, depositors can
now figure out .exactly how much
they lost. Tin* final dividend should
he paid in time to buy your wife what
you have boon promising her for Eas

little handkerchief, possibly.

worth much in Conyers. Lon Rice,
