Sensitive People.
Perhaps it is too difficult to prop
erly describe the real characterist
ics of personal sensitiveness.
Moreover, there are some marked
differences between sensitive peo
ple Some of them have but little
good sense, while others are sound
ly sensible.
The shallow and thoughtless
ones are exceedingly prcve to make
loud complaints when someone
treats them worse than they de
serve, Oftentimes, when there is
no intention to hurt their tender
feelings, they appear to be badly
wounded, Some little slight is
sure to beriously offend them. They
grieve over the lack of attention
which they think is due to them.
They suffer much ; of course they
do, all sensitive ones have a con
siderable capacity for suffering.
But do these people have much re
gar i for the sensitiveness of others?
Are they always careful to avoid
giving pain to other hearts? It
appears that many of them are not
careful. They are far more con
cerned about their own feelings
than they are about the feelings of
others. Their own sufferings are
of more consequence than are those
of other people. It is thus seen
that there is a great deal of selfish
ness in the most of very sensitive
people. -
The Editor of the Sunday School
Times says : ’ One is forced to the
conclusion that the chief fault of
so-called sensitive people is that
they never think anybody else is
sensitive. Nobody makes us suffer
like the one who is always suffer
ing. Nobody so keeps us on edge
with perpetual discomfort as he
who is always ready to bo hurt at
a moment’s notice. We are on
pins and needles in the company
of such, and never expand and let
ourselves go, for fear they will be
put out. Our own feelings are of
no account in his presence, and we
must suppress them and adjust
everything to his capricious sus
ceptibility.”
There is much force and fact in
those words ; and yet I apprehend
that many a sensitive person does
not receive the sympathy which he
actually deserves. He really suf
fers much worse than is supposed
by thick-skinned persons. But
such ones should have due'regard
for the feelings of other nervous
people.

We presume that every citizen
of our town is, or ought to be, de
sirous to see it grow, to see it im
prove, to see it advance in all the
interests that pertain to a town of
thrift and enterprise. Again we
presume that if you, who live in
your town, make no no effort in
this direction, whq, if there are
any benefits accruing therefrom
would be the recipients thereof,
we do not believe our neighbors,
who have no particular interest in
our welfare, would be so very
mindful of us as to give us a boost
by investing a few thousand dol-

amount of taxes for the year 1909 yet to be paid in the county treasury. Said
taxes will augment the above stated sum. Respectfully submitted.

CUMMING, GA. JANUARY 2[ 1910.
The reason why some towns
grow is because there are men of
push and energy in it, who are not
afraid to spend their time and
money to boom their town. They
erect substantial buildings, organ
ize stock companies and establish
factories, secure railroads, work
for public improvements and use
every means in their power to in
duce people to locate in their city.
Wherever they go they tell of the
advantages of their citv. they write
about them in every letter, they
send circulars and newspapers to
all whom they think they can get
to visit the csty, and when any
one visits them treats him so kind
ly that he falls in love with them
and their city at once. It is en
terprise and every one pulling to
gether that makes a progressive
town and don’t let the fact escape
your memory.
A number ot people will be un
able to join the proposed “porter
house steak boycott,” for the reas
on that they long ago joined it,
anyhow.

Good Morning.
A cheery “Good morning” oft.ecn
sends a ray of sunshine streaming
through the innermost recesses of
* household, resting there fell the
live-long day. and again follows
hastening footsteps into the mart
of business, lighting up and bright
ening “the way of the world” as it
goes. A hearty “Good night’*
often soothes many a troubled
mind to rest, and heals the wounds
which have either oame anew to a
s rugg'ing soul, nr been re-opened
In the harsh words or deds that'
a <* spoken or done in season or out*
o season, as th- daily attleof our
it'i progresses. “Good morning,”
with a heartfnll wish for blessings
in ihe tone of its utterance, cheers
the heart of fain and tearful ones,,
and softens many a hard spot that
has place by inheritance or culti—
vation, in the breasts of humanity..
The love-light, that beams from
the eye when one is greeted by
such words as “Good night” lights
many a weary spirit to a chamber
of rest and peace and to a land of.
pleasant dreams.
The home where “Good morn
ing” and /Good night” are care
fully said by one to another, are
the homes of the world where good
thoughts are gener >ted, where good
deeds have place, and frem whence,
go out good lives.
Then don’t forget to say “Goo<f
morning;’ say it to parents, to
children, brothers, sister, school
mates, teachers, friends and to all
you meet, and say it cheerfully and
with a smile. It will do you good
and do your friends good. It will'
cheer the discouraged, rest the
tired ones, and somehow makes
the wheel of life move more smooth
ly. A “Good morning” heartily*
spoken makes home fresher and
brighter and seems really to make
the morning good, and to be a
prophesy of a good day to come
after it.
