PUBLISHED IN THE INTEREST OF RELIGION, EDUCA TION, LI TER A 7 URE AND GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. VOL. XX. 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. C. H, Wetherbe. 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- Treasurer’s Report.

If a town is ever built up and placed in a growing condition it will be directly or indirectly due to those who Jive in it and if you wish to Know the steps to be taken we will cite a few. Talk it up, its inter ests, its facilities and various adaptibilities to different branches of industry. Write about it, beau t'fy its streets, invest your money in it, patronize its merchants and every enterprise started as far as it is at all consistent, elect good men to office, advertise in the newspa pers, be courteous to those who come among yhu and never let an opportunity to speak a good word about it pass. Remember that every dollar you invest is a perma nent improvement improvement, is that much money at interest, and is that much toward buiiding up your town. Thf farm is a sort of clock which reflects the time of year. 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. Harris Grove.

Come again Eula we like to hear from your burg. Adieu. Rose Bud.. 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. NO-3
