It is nice to be handsome bat it
is a good deal handsomer to be
nice,
A step taken from mother is a
pearl dropped into your future
diadem.
If your wife is the best woman
in the world, tell her so; it will
keep her young and lengthen her
life.
There never was a woman but
was just aching to tell some other
woman how to do up her hair.
The reason why women do not
propose is supposed to be due to
the tact that they want to have
the last word.
It is worth a thousand dollars a
year to have the habit of looking
on the bright side of things
To bring whatp’easure and con
tentment we can into every life is
the best way to fill our own with
beauty.
, There are always a good many
people keep the balance of the
community busy wondering how
they live so well.
Men can be found who are will
ing to go to Africa as missionaries
who are not willing to take careot
a cross baby f®r the tired wife for
half an hour.
Learned men tell us that in Lat
in the word “editor'’ means some
thing “to eat,” In the United
Slates its meaning is altogether
different. It means to scratch a
round like blazes to get something
to eat.
There is no way of improving a
place so much as by encouraging
good merchants, good schoo's and
good people to settle among you,
and this cannot be done unless you
spend your money at home.
Don’t croak. Leave that to frogs
-in stagnant pools. A few croakers
though are necessary in every com
munity to measure the rate of pro
gress at which live men are ad
vancing.

Train your eyes to rest on the
brightest spots in life. Pass the
darkness on the other side. One
of the sunniest places on earth is
the spot made sacred by the hal
lowed influences :f those we love
in our homes.
An advertisement is to a mer
chant very much what sowing seed
is to a farmer. It may take a little
time for the results to become ap
parent, but they are sure to come,
The wise farmer is not niggardly
with his seed, nor the wise mer
chant with his advertisement.
When you hear a man sneering
at the local papers you can safely
bet he don’t spend his time making
tnem better. They who don’t see
a benefit arising to a town from its
newspapers havn’t as much sense
as a cove oyster, and are of about
as much value to a town as a ten
year-old delinquent-
When you want any article of
merchandise buy it of a reputable
home dealer, that the profit may
remain to enrich the community.
Send your money abroad only for
what you cannot purchase at home.
Home talent, home labor, home in
dustry. home capital, and home
pleasures are things to be fostered,
encouraged and patronized.
If you are a kicker and see the
shadows of failure in everything
that is proposed to help the town,
for heaven’s sake go into some se
cluded place and kiek your own
shadow on the clay bank, and give
the men who are working to build
up the town a chance • One long
faced, hollow-eyed, whining, cap
ing, chronic kicker can do more to
keep away business aid capital
from a town than all the drouths,
short crops, chinch bugs, cyclones
and blb.zards combined.

now, His reason is well worth reading.
“For a long time “I suffered from indi
geston, torpid diver, constipation, ner
vousness, and general debility ” he
writes. “I couldn’t sleep, had no appe
tite, nor ambition, grew weaker every
day in spite of all medical treatment,
Then used Electric Bitters. Twelve bot
tles restored all my old-time health and
vigor, Now I can attend to business
overy day. It’s a wonderful medicine.”

Its A Top Notch Doer,
Great deeds compel regard. The world
crowns doers, That's why the American
people have crowned Dr. King’s New
Discovery the King of throat and Lung
remedies. Every atom is a health force.
It kills germs, and coles and lagrippe
vanish. It heals cough-racked mem
branes and coughing stops. Sore, in
flamed bronchial tubes and lungs are
cured and hemorrhages cease. Dr. Geo,
More, black Jack. N. C., writes “It cur
ed me ot lung trouble, pronounced hope
less by all doctors,” 50c. SI.OO. Trial

If brothers or sisters err. the
world says ‘‘shun them ; thus you
will show that you disapprove of
the act, making an example of
them.” Alas ! how many examples
we have of this mode of teaching
crowding the haunts of infamy to
day. Once bright young lives,
over whose pure lips and innocent
brows mothers watched in all ten
derness; but the trembling feet
iook one false step and so we thrust
them out of out hearts, out of our
churches, and would even thrust
them out of heaven. Is it right, is
it just, is it Christ like?

It is only too true that to refrain
from showing affection makes the
wife miserable. She does not care
for presents or lavish attention’; she
wants those little tokens such as
may he given even in a look, which
will prove her husband’s love. We
wish some of the good things that
some men are saving up to say con
cerning their wives after they
dead could be said now. A man
will spend §25 to buy cut flowers
for his dead wife’s coffin, when i£
he had spent 25 cent for a bunch
of flowers for her when she was a
live, she would have fainted. Yon
wait until she is dead and then
some preacher to tell how good sue .
was.
