McElr-c’t WINE OF CARDUI for female diseases.
Comtaunicaied,
Honest labor lends a dignity to
the character of the man that noth
ing else can supply. Some people
have a loolish notion that if they labor
for a living, they net entitled te rank
with first class society. They should
dismiss such thoughts at once and for
ever. True manhood will bo respect
td anywhere, and the honest laborer
has the very first claim to respectabili
ty. Nature’s true noblemen are labor
ers. The backbone of all our glory
as a state rests with tho laboring class.
The soldier, politician, the profession
al man and the merchant are classes
of men necessary to the well, being of
the state, but they are all dependent
upon the laborer. Lift up your heads
ye toilers of earth and assert ybur
manhood! If you do not aspire to
wear fine clothes you may be clean
and deoest, and honest and respeot
able. And these qualities will carry
you ap in the world aad place yon in
high positions, whea the soft skineed
and tender mcsled dades around you
are all forgotten. L.

Roads and Railroads.
You often hear people lament
ing the fact that “we have no rail
road” through our county.
A railroad is a good thing, es
pecially so for the town people. It
is a great developer. But, look at
it in another light. A railroad
runs straight through from point
to point. It does not reach the
country at last. Even along the
I line of a railroad, where the smoke
of the engine is nearly always to be
seen, and where tho vour and rat
tle of (he world’s pa hug com
merce disturbs the dreams of the
farmer, he may be quite <ii.-:?Hnt
from market. He must depend up
on tho good firm wagon road to
bear the burden of his fraighfctintil
it roaches the station- Ho can not
get to market with any degree of
comfort, or even with perfect safe
ty, unless a good wagon road leads
there. People in the country will
spend thousands improving 1 heir
buiilings aad farms, and negie< r.
their roads. And, it may be Asili;-
fuliy said that a man is near
enough to a railroad if he can drive
to one and back in a day. But he
can never prosper if he has to hik-h
up three or four mules to puli a
two-horse load. If his way*to mar
ketis obstructed by deep mud
holes and dangerous gullies, he
will always have poor mules and
poor wagons and make slow pro
gress. Now-, that you have good
bridges and good sign-boards to
mark the way, try and have good
roads **

Four Months Fra Schools for 1889.
Atlanta, Jsn.29. :lon. J. S. Hook
the state tcboul commUdoaor, has
been asked by eounty i-.ahool commis
sioners over the state for feis opinion
in reference to tho probable sahool
term, js important' in making con
tracts with teacher. Jndgo Hook ad
vises that these contracts be made for
four months' school, with the condi
tion that the pay must come oat of the
public school fund, whatever that
may be. Ha says:
“1 can not but think if he does not
find money enough to pay for the foar
months' term, it will come as near per*
haps, in paying oat that term as it
has hereto.ore in paying the three
months’ term ’’
With the customary supplement to
tho teachers’ psy m?.de b ,
the fußd will rffice for a four months’
term, but it can be made absolutely
free for three months, not heretofore
the case.
The following is the estimate made
in the stats commissioner’s office of
school Inna for 1889.
Poll tax $185,000
From old sources 830,000
New appropriation 165,000
The above makes a total of 680,900
dollars. The average attendance ac
cording to. the estimate, will be 226,-
200 dollars, giving a triffie over 3 dol
lars per capita. And it is eonfidently
expected that the provision ot the leg
ieiatore appropriating the whole tax
cn the 360,000,000 dollars of taxable
will largely increase the
school fund, but it is questioned
whether it would he practically avail
able for the present year.
