[COMMUNICATED.!
Succen—How Attained.
“Uucle Bob” in bis wise contem-
Democrecy'i Beteat.
Iu the elections held last Tuesday
Democracy met overwhelming de»
feat. The question uaturaliy arises,
what cased this state o' affairs?
There is nothing truer than “a
hou-e divided against itself must
fall.” For the past few years the
democratic party has been divided
on the money question. The most
iuffueuiiti leaders of thfe party are
for a sufe and sound financial
policy, while many of the lesser
lights champion the cause of free
silver, This, no doubt, in a great
me .sure, causes the people to lose
confidence in us ability to enact sat
isfactory financial laws.
The Democratic party before it is
again victorious has got to staud in
unbroken line for a safe and sound
currency. _
The Bond Question.
We do not belieye there is a sipgle
voter in Milledgeville, who will op*
pose the issuing of bonds to re-
deem the illegB.1 ones now outetanu-
ing yet we think it our duty to
•gain oall the attention of our cit
izens to the importance of polling a
Urge vote on the day of the elec*
M< W*hen the bill establishing and
locating the G. N. & I. College was
before the legislature, o ir senator and
representative promised, that if the
sehool should be locate! in Midedge
vtlle, her citizens would donate $10,-
400. To raise this money it was
found necessary to issue bonds.
An election was culled, uuder
special act, by the City Council, to
ODtain the consent ot two-thiids of
the legal voters to Issue $22,000 worth
of bonds. The election was carried
anhniuionsly, and the bonds were
bought by the Southern bank ot
Savannah.
As promised ten thousand dollars
was used in the erection of the Col*
lege building, and the remaining
twelve thousand were afterwards
loaned to the trustees of the college
to aid In erecting the annex to the
dormitory,
A test case as to'the legality of
the bonds was made in the courts,
and it was decided that they had
been illegally issued, and the city
eounell was prevented (rota paying
the interest on said bonds. It thus
has become necessary to issue more
bonds to redeem the illegal oues.
It is seen that the bonds were
bought in good faith, aud the rnouey
was wisely used in the upbuilding of
ourcitv. The honor of our city Is at
stake, aod it behooves every citizen
to work aud vote for the bouils.
The honor, integrity and credit of
Milledgeyille musi be sustained.

Mili.B'iQKVILLK, bA., Nov. 12, 1895. ( pl a ti 0 us of life makes good points
on many things. Had he.lived in
the days of the old Greek philoso
phers or assoc ated with the writers
of Proverbs his name would be found
amoug them. Time, circumstanc.es>
surroundings, education, environ
ments, ability aud ambition must
all play a part in a man’s or worn*
aii’s life. All turns on degree and
ability. The law of nature is variety
and ability. We see that daily,
liouriy, Jems, who was a close ob
server and something of an original
thinker, took in man’s true mental
build. He never said a truer thing
or gave utterance to a greater truth,
than when he said: ‘‘Unto one he
gave five talents, to another two,
and to another one, to every man
according to his several ability.”
There we have the secret of success
life—“Every man according to
liis several ability,” The great law
yer would perhaps make a failure as
a farmer, no abilitv for it. The great
doctor a poor merchant, no taste
or ability for It. The great teacher
a failure as a flnanoiei, and the suc
cessful farmer a failure as a profes
sional man, and soon through all the
callings of life. Why try to make a
lawyer or doctor out of a boy or
man who has a naturai genius for
mechanics? Why try to make the
great inathemetioiau a musician or
farmer?
The secret of success Is, in first
knowing what one cao do best, what
am I really fit for and what talents
have I? Am I blessed with the five,
two or one talent. A sensible fisher
man fishes with a line according to
the depth of the water he Is fishing
ih. To fish in the Atlantic ocean on
the fish banks, requires a line fifty
feet long and a two-pound sinker,
but in a river according to the depth
of the rivor. So in life, kuow where
vou are fishing and what you are
fishing for. Know how long your
line should be, Know your own men
tal depth.
To make money requires but two
well developed organisms in a man’s
brain. Large acquisitiveness and close
ca'culation, with fair nerceptives;
and living close np to the Iron Rule
of life—“keep what you have go',
and get all yoo can,” success is cer
tain. As to the largeness of the
soul of such a man, ic can wander
with ease on the edge of a silver five
cent piece. As “Uncle Bob” says:
“If a man gets along well in the
world he cau’t sie why others may
not do the same, and he does nor
have much sympathy foi those who
fail.”
I have seen hundreds of just'such
men. Mauy do not lake into eon-
sid>ration their environments. He
wiio undertakes to feed one’s mind,
will die, nine times out. of ten, poor,
while he who caters to the stomach
will make money fust. A few great
authors here make money, and nine
rimes cut of ten, they cateer to the
h umor, to the fancy, I he imagine
tiou aud feelings of the reader,
while those who talk to the re son,
the intellect, to cool, h ml thinking,
have but few readers.
Le' an entertainment visit a city
or town, and a lecture that has cost
mouths of studv, will have a few
hearers, while one with promises of
negro dialect, acting, sojgs, etc, will
play to a crowded house. Men had
rather luugh than think. To laugli
is easy, to think a 'alior. Take the
preacher or minister who deals in
s'.ang, abuse, vituperation, ridicule,
and personal reflections, v>r those
who have some pulpit eccentricities,
and lie wid draw like a c reus or a
negro show, while one who address
es the mind, the reason, who teach
es, instructs, will be called heavy,
dull, prosy. The five talent men or
women will hear him, but those
blessed with the two talents or the
ouetilent will shun him as though
he had the small pox.
It is useless to throw pearls before
swiue, all they want is something t<>
eat, to fill the stomach. So with
iuhu, he is more like a hog than any
other animal that walks the ea'th
More like tile hog In insiinots, feel
ings, and, desires. And I may bo
permitted to say, that woman is
more like a dog than any other ani
mal, and I thank God for it, for fidel
ity, unselfish attachment anti dying
■ or those she loves is characteristic
of her nature. Man is iu no way
akin to tlie monkey, except in liis cu
riosity, and curiosity is what will
oat h him, the man aud the monkey
also.
Where energy, industry, attention
to bu.-iuesB, ami freedom from vices,
or bad habits, win success, and men
iu like business allows a wuut of oue
<*r ell of those qualities then lie is a
subject of refl'Ctiou. Feed (he
stomach and look for large leturns,
feed tlie mind and look for small
dividends But few brains coalman
a premium. The man, who estab
lished a paper 50 or 70 years ago
could, with energy and industr.,
make a success of it, to day with the
same energy, lie would nearh starve,
vvuy? Because he has not tlie field
to work iu: The business is over
done and in many cases poorly done.

life to live over agaiu, would not
touch the editorial pen with a thous

been to make money ami nothing
but money, he would have sold li~-

taken great care not to have oeen

SOLEMN EXPERIENCES.
Bhe Had Had Enough to Know All Abont
Matrimony.
A minister’s wife who conoeived
it to bo her duty to give a kindly
and motherly word of advice to the
young couples who came to the par
sonage to he marriod ono day went
tlown into the parlor in advance of
her husband for the usual little chat
with a couple who had called “on
important businoss,’’ ns they had
expressed it.
The good woman found the couplo
sitting sido by side on a sofa in
bridal array. Tho bridegroom, who
was evidently soveral years younger
than tho brido, soumod a little flus-
tratod, but the bride was perfectly
calm. After a few commonplaoes
the minister’s wifo said:
“Yourealizo of courso that mar
riage is a very solemn thing. It is
not to bo entered into lightly. It is,
or ought to bo, for life.”
“Yes, that’s what I usod to tell
Jim,” said the bride.
“Jim?”
“Oh, he was my first husband.”
“Indeed I Then of courso you
know what tho duties and responsi
bilities of marriod life are. They
are many nnd serious. Both hus
band and wifo must learn to bear
and forbear.”
“Yes, that’s exactly what I used
to say to Bill.”
“To Bill?”
“Yes. He was my second hus
band.”
“Oh, you must realize deeply the
solemnity of marriage because of
these experiences.”
“Yes. I used to say to Jake that
marriage was no laughin matter.
Jake was my third husband."
“Indeed? My words must seem
useless to you after”—
“Well, to tell the honest truth,
there’s mighty few pointers you kin
give a lady who’s had three hus
bands an all of ’em livin. If I don’t
know what tho rooky sido o’ matri
mony is, I don’t know w'ho doos.
Serious business? Well, I should
say so! But Willie an mo are startin
out right, an I guess we’ll stiok for
good, oh, Willie?"
The bridegroom blushed and smil
ed faintly, and when the ministor
entorod at that moment tho bride
arose to her feet and said:
“Come on, Willie. Hero goes for
another solemn experience!”—De

Imaginative Animals.
The other week I spoke of tho
power of imagination. A friond tolls
mo that dogs ar«# as much undor its
influence as men, and he has in con-
soquenco discovered a mothod by
which a tender hearted man can
bring up liis pup in the way it
should go without unnecessary suf
fering to either party. My friend’s
mothod is to keep in his yard a big
butter tub and a thick stick. When
his dog has misbehaved, he chains
it up closo to tho tub, gives it a
couple of outs with the stick,
scolds it energetically and then sots
to work to larrup the barrel. With
every blow that falls upon the tub
the dog howls and strugglea. By
tho timo my friend has worn him
self out upon tho barrel tho dog has
received all the moral good that
could have boon afforded him by a
thundering good whipping ,Vik1 is re
pentant and consciynco stricken for
the next throe days. In fact, tho
imaginative animal fancios that he
really has had a boating and is as
sorry for himself ns if ho had beoa
half killed.
My friend’s motto is, “Spare the
tub and spoil tho dog.” Being a kind
man, ho hated tho sevority that is
necessary to tho training of animals,
and his discovory has removed a
great burden from his mind. Ho
can punish his dog and immediately
after.sit down and enjoy his dinner
—a thing that in tlie old days could
not ho thought of. Ho tells me that
ho has never found tho plan to mis
carry, and ho has tried it on dozens
of dogs.—Jerome K. Jerome.
A Blunt Man.
An intensely reserved man, Ibsen
is not at till fond of talking of him
self or of his works. At a dinner
some timo ago the wife of a well
known artist, being seated bosido
him, insisted on conducting tho con
versation to that end and finally
maintained at length that his “Hod-
da Gabler” was an impossible wom
an. “But, madam,” ho answored,
“I drow her from tbolifo. ” “Yes,
Herr Doktor, hut I am a woman. I
should know. I say again ill at it is
impossiblo that such a woman should
exist.’ This was too much for Herr
Doktor. Like a flash he turned on
her. “Idiot!” ho ejaculated, which
was naturally tho end of that con
versation. -
