PUBLISHED IE THE INTEREST OF RELIGION, EDUCATION, LITERA 7 URE AND GENERAL INTELLIGENCE . VOL. XX. W. C. Westbrook Explains, Knowing that it was common after a man had held the offico of Representative for two terms, to make a change, and after hear ing a number of our people talk upon the subject, I was convinc ed that our people were willing to make a change. I had some aspiration to repre sent the county in which I have lived for fifty years if I could be elected without getting in a scramble over the office, so I made inquiry over the county as opportunity would permit as to my acceptance and who would be my opponent. I m 9 t with all the encouragement among the vot ers of the eonnty that one could wish; I heard of no one who would likely be in the race, ex cept the possible announcement of the present encumbent. I made a trip over to Waleska to attend the Commencement, and when I got home I was told that one of my neighbors was in the race and had arranged to be at Cumming when the Executive Committe met, and was likely to put m his annuncemenf at once. Sol met him on the road as he was going to Cumming, and, without asking him for any com promise, or why he had come in t]\~. vner* so euddonlv, I told him that if he made the race that I would not enter it. I did not do this because I was afraid to make the race against him, for I feel sure that I could stand my hand with him. but we both have homes in the same neighborhood and belong to the same church, and of course this would mean division among friends, and I had rather have peace at home than to go to the Georgia Legislature. Besides if three of us were to run on this side of the county, it would make us easy prey for some one on the other side of the coun ty who would come in the race, Quite a number of my friends have expressed their regret that I will not likely be in the race, but I must consider HOME first. I hope we will have a good man to represent our county, for I am proud of Forsyth county and feel like she is one of the best coun ties in the state. As Prohibition will likely be an issue in the next Legislature, and as our county has been prohibi tion so long, we should send a man pledged to protect this issue. Thomas A. Edison, the great Inventor, never said a truer thing than when he said that, ’’Liquor was like sand thrown in the eyes of civilization." As education, and especially Agricultural education, is now is now one of the leading ques tions of the day. we want a man able to help uphold this great question and see that the Agri cultural schools are fostered and protected. As we have no railroad in the county we should feel very much interested in good roads. I think ®he IVortlj (Georgian.

Sold by all dealers, that the alternate road law should be controlled by a direct vote of the people of each county. I think there should be a law to re quire every road hand in the county to work tha same amount of time on the roads, and that the Grand Jury should say how many days each year they should work. The Commissioners could divide their hands according to the need of their roads, and I think they would show consider able improvement. I feel very grateful to the peo ple of the county for the many nice things they have said to me, and of me, in this my first, and possibly my last, little flash in the political world. Let us make a strong pull for good men to govern the state, and especially a good man to represent the rand old c ounty of Forsyth. W, C. Westbrook.

The french say it requires the presence of three generations to make a perfect home, and we are glad to see that the grandmother is becoming more hignly apprecia ted in this country, as she no long er confines herself to the chimney corner and her knitting, but takes a kindly interest in all that goes on ; keeys mind and body discip lined by study and active, useful participation in what is going on around her, and is as careful of her appearance as when she was a young girl.

Sold by all dealers. That Dreary Parlor. We do wonder why people try so hard to make their booses ugly, inside and out. They spend dol lars, yes. lots of them, to -in fill ing their dwellings with what is neither useful nor ornamental, when a few cents and perhaps a little more sense would have made them handsome. The best parlor, what misery sits enthroned within its forbidding doors! When yon make a visit vou are invited within its sacred portals. The door creaks, as if protesting against the invas ion. A clammy atmosphere en velopes you as you enter that makes you involuntary shudder and wonder if the room is haunted You sit on a hair cloth chair and clutch frantically at the arms to keep from slipping off. The am brotypes of deceased uncles and cousins and aunts look down at you from their oval frames and scowl. The whatnot in the cor ner is covered with bric-a-brac in tended to be ornamental, but which looks more like some play house replete with broken dishes and empty bottles, and kept in the best room in memory of some child, dead years ago. You feel in your bones that there has been no one in that room for months before and that when you go out it will once more be sealed like a tomb and left to the care of the relatives on the wall. You long for a glimpse of the sunlight out of doors. If you could se3 a hat or a coat lying carelessly about to de note that you were still in the land of the living, it would be a relief. You wish vou could find a cat in the room and step on its tail, 01 ruD a pin into the old aunt who looks down from the wall with a stony stare at least fifty years old or kick the hair cloth chair right into the whatnot, or do anything to cause a little commotion and an appearance of 1 fe. And when, after a visit of half an hour, about as cheerful as a funernal. you leave the room, you feel as if you had been in the presence of the dead. The best parlor, where sun light and children, and laughter, and music and fun are excluded, should give place to something more cheerful and more fitting for Chrstian homes- Good and Bad Mothers. The difference between goad and bad mothers is so vast and so far reaching that it is no exaggeration to say that the good mothers of this generations, are building the homes of the next generation, and the bad mothers are building the pnaons. Fcr out of families nations are made ; and if the father be the head and the hands of a family, the mother is the heart. No office in the world is so honorable as hers, no priesthood so holy, nofluence so sweet and strong and last ng Un selfish love is the mother! Cheer ful obedience in the children! In whatever home these forces are con stantly operatives, that home can- not be a failure. And mother-love is not of the right kind, nor of the highest trend, unless it compells this obedience, The assertion that affectionate firmaess and' even wholesome chastisement is unnec essary with our advanced civiliza tion, is a specious and dangerous. Tho children of today hove as many rudimendary vices as they had ih the days of the patriarchs ; as a general thing they are self willed and inclined to evil from their cradles; greedy without a blush, and ready to lie as soon as they discover the use of language A good mother does not shut her eyes to these facts; sho aocepts her child as imperfect, and trains it with neverceasing love and care for its highest duties. She does not call impertinence “smartness,” nor insubordination ‘ high spirit” nor selfishness “knowing how to take care of itself,” nor lying and dishonesty sharpness.
